Atlanta Journal. ! 1 "Behold how great a fire a little mat: ter kindleth." It is said that Chicago was once burned up by an old cow kicking over a lamp. We have a na tional isue now which is stirring the press and the people ou both aides of I the Mason and Dixon line on the sub-1 ject of the Indianola colored postmis tress. The New York Herald has taken up the cudgel and the southern press very generally is using the cudgel on the president. The people of Indianola do not ffant a colored postmistress and I capitally doubt if the colored post mistress wants the job. She has com petency, and a husband who is already in the employment of the government. But it seems that Clarkson first and Roosevelt second want her to Lave the job and propose that she keep it at all costs. : He doesu t pour oil upon the 1 waters by the appointment of a negro I assistant district attorney in Boston,' but ne might meet the demands of Mr. Bryan when he appoints in the various towns and cities in the north a colored postmaster or colored postmistress. I The fact of the business is there is no I sentiment against such a thing with I the north and the Brother in Black is entitled to a pull at the public pap. We will furnish them tickets and check their baggage through to any point, where the president will furnish the omce. lnere is a growing con viction and a determination on the part of the Anglo-Saxon race south of the Mason and Dixon line that the top rail belongs on top; that the bottom rail belongs under the bottom- and that wherever and whenever the Ap pointing Power, either municipal, state or national, shall give office to a Broth er in Black which places him in posi tion to meet and come in contact with white women and children, then old Harry is raised on the spot and there is going to be trouble, and there is also a growing conviction upon the people that there is enough political insincerity in the makeup of Presi dent Roosevelt to eive him a consid- erablq tincture and color of a hypo 1 - crite. Thle lily-white and coal-black business in the Republican party of the south makes an issue that a na tional candidate must consider, it is true that the negro voters in the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois hold the balance of power iand Roosevelt knows that is true and hence to prove his 1 I. .. , 1 -a . loyaiiy 10 tne colored race ne raises Cain down south. By birth and educa tion he has no more affinity and love for the negro than any dece'nt white man south, and what can induce him to outrage public sentiment, as he has aone more tnan once, unless ne is . . - -pandering for power and fixing his fences. Not only is he a politican when it comes to the colored brother, but I have met few men who believe that he is sincere in his deliverances on the trusts question. I have been told that when he ended his western speaking career he com plained that it was his leg, but it wasn't his leg at all; it was his mouth He ran up on Henderson in Iowa, and something drapped, I have heard. If Roosevelt is sincere, he is a very weak man. If he is a wise man, so-called, he is a politician of the cheapest va riety. I am a friend to the brother in black. I would help him, educate him, elevate him at all points except in so cial spheres. God made him black and intended to make him black, and God wants him to stay black, or He never would have colored him at the start. and whenever you 'mix white and black in the social or marital world, you damage both races, and it .is true that when they mix-they mi at the, bot - torn. The best negroes and the best white people don't want social equal ity. Booker Washington himself has said, to the students, of his school that "to think of social equality, much less to gay it, is a crime against the fun damintal principles of his school; that it will take a thousand years of study, a, tnousand years of culture, a thous and years of advancement in science, history and art before such a thought ahonld h con;v1 ' T . tlrl ; T.fc t l -.. ,. ;r,r: , " ' ; r ",u- " and God made donkeys, but God never maue a muie. ur. Iceland used to sav. uoa made tne negro and man in - vented the mule to go with him." We do not want to trot out a being in the social world that God didn't make. f Some of us have admired the spirit and dash of President Roosevelt, just as we admire spu-it and dash in sol diers, in horses,! in anything, but when spirit and dash are married and hart by cheap politics or spite .or spleen,- then admiration turns to con tempt. President EooseveU not only seems to hive spirit and dash and poli tics mixed with some insincerity, but he hat a devilish stubbornness that disgusts his friends and cools the ador of his admirers. He reminds me of Mark Twain's boy on the housetop that skeeted off the snow-covered house and slid into the hot dish of candy that was set out cooling on the snow on the ground. All because be would not take a dare. I'll take a dozen dares before I will get out on the ell of a house when it is covered with sleet j and snow, barefooted, to catch an old Tom cat, and in my efforts slide off into a dish of hot candy, and then be laid up for repairs. If Roosevelt would slide down south about this time, he would sit down in a dish of red hot stuff. I am saying these things not be of any unkind feeling or un- cause friendliness to the colored people, for I am sure it is better for the colored people themselves that they stay out 'of such musses as President Roosevelt and his henchmen have put the colored sister in at Indianola, Miss. The New York Herald voices the sentiment of the majority of this country in its deliverance on this subject, I verily believe, and when the various papers of this country shall have delivered themselves upon this subject Roose velt will have time before the -next presidential nomination to regret and wish he could recall Borne of his acts, I left home the night of the 18th 01 January ana came to lexas via Nashville and Memphis. I spent four hours in Memphis and found it the livest place I have seen since I left for the southwest. Memphis grows rapidly and is easy the best city between New Orleans and St. Louis and Louisville It is the metropolis of -Tennessee, and it does not take but a few hours there to convince a fellow that it's a business town. But I find all Texas has a black eye. The rains have been almost con stant since the first of October, and there are tens of thousands of bales of cotton still unpicked- in the fields and no plowing done to date, ,10 my as tonishment I ,see tens of thousands of bales stored in the cotton yards over the state. If they can have a season of fair weather they will yet harvest more than two hundred thousand bales of cotton in Texas, I am told. But the rains and mud of Texas have made farmer and merchant blue. The esti mate is now 3,200,000 bales for Texas and Indian Territory and the total esti mate of 11,170,000, as Sterling Price, of Paris, Tex., puts the present crop, and I am told he came in 10,000 of the crop last year. And by the way, I was his guest while in Paris the other day. He has just returned home from a tour of the southern states and he told me that he cabled to Europe Monday last his estimate, and I noticed next day that Liverpool went off 3 to 6 points. If there is a 11,250,000 bale crop then 8 cents will he the limit as Boon as that fact is determined. If I had cotton I believe I would sell now, but I am only speaking for myself, and do not advise anybody else. J The sentiment in Texas and Tennes- against whiskey is more aggressive and universal now than in any states of the union. I am now importuned by many of the larger towns aud cities of Texas to help in the local option fights which, are to be brought on this year, and almost every week local op tion whips out the saloons in Tennessee and Texas towns, and seldom does tem perance lose a battle. Both Texas and Tennessee have had enough of debauch ery, murders, gambling, etc., and the good people are now thoroughly aroused. When the good sentiment of communi ties and States is thoroughly aroused, it's a cyclone indeed, and everything must give ray before it. Every tern perance sentiment I utter in my lectures is cheered to the echo in Texas or Ten nessee, and it is not true so much in other States, As I said, trade is badly cut off in I Texas by rain and mud, and the conse Iquent effect upon the far men Mer- chants and drummers say it is the dull- I est they ever saw. A Texan in a good I humor and in good spirits cares less for J. money and will spend it quicker and I cares less what he spends it for than any fellow I know, but when he is blue and downcast, he keeps what he has, and grumbles while he keeps it. j ; Sam P.

A certain Englishman named1 llobaoa lectured Sunday night in Philadelphia on ethics and asked if it was right to accept charity from ill-gotten gains or from such men as Carnegie, Rockefeller and Rhodes, who mad their fortunes by monopolies and trusts and crushing out small dealers. l ; The editor of The World answers: "If charity money is to be scanned and disinfected where Shall the process stop? Shall we boycott Ftneuil hall, the cradle of liberty, because it was built from the profits, the blood ucney of Peter Faneail's B!vea:"The Jolly Bachelor and from his slave trade and selling beads and watered rum to the Indians? - These were the bases of many New England fortunes now bring used for generous puTXwes. We are inclined to say let charity have what it can get. The more sinful the channels through which fortunes have come the better it is that it should now be di verted to good uses. Luther said it was folly to let the devil have all the good tunes. ;That is good doctrine." "God sent it, but tne devil brought it, has good foundation. But I dident know that the cradle of American liberty was built with money made in the cradle of American slavery. Appleton says that prior to 1776 New England had brought from Africa over 300,000 slaves -and soldi them further south, and for a while they were in such demand ' that the! j negro traders in Massachusetts seized and sold the young Indians wbo had strayed to far from their wigwams and they actually stole and carried away and sold the son of Kicg Philip, an Indian chief, who was at peace with the whites. But what would not a peo ple do who would burn or drown women as witches as they did at Salem I My friend from Oregon seems anx ious to handle my book and Bell it, but insists that I shall make more proof that General Grant was a slave owner and hired them out until the sur render. I referred "him to Grant's biography,, written by Genera) James Grant Wilson, who was chosen by Grant to write it. If his people will not believe him, neither would they believe if one rose from the dead. The trouble is that most of his people are either foreigners Or. of foreign birth and don't know anything of American history. The truth is our own people are profoundly ignorant of the history of their fathers and forefathers. 1 Not one in a hundred know that Georgia was the first state that prohibited the African slave trade. Pennsylvania sold negro slaves at sheriff's sales as late as 1S43. New England abolished slavery long before, but continued the impor tation from Africa on the sly until 1861. Qur people bought them be cause they were profitable in the cotton fields and in the culture of rice and sugar cane. For twenty ears before the war ; our best people wished to abolish slavery, not jts an act of hu manitj but because they were increas ing so fast and were in the way of poor white men and were demoralizing to the sons of the rich and their amalga mation with the whites was a visible curse in many families. And so Joseph Henry Lumpkin, our chief justice, be gan a correspondence with Henry Clay about , his echeme of gradual emanci pation. My father and many others co-operated with the plan, but the ma lignaht threats of the abolitionists smothered it in its birth. The other day I had a social call from some north ern gentlemen and as the subject of the war incidentally came up a solid vet eran happened to mention something about Fremont and said he knew him him very well, for he was the first man he ever voted for and that he served under him during the war. Well, said I, do you know where r he was born No, he did not up north somewhere No," said I, "He was a Georgian born in Savannah, educated in Charles ton.. His father was a Frenchman, his mother a Virginia lady. The boy was a fine scholar, but unruly and disobed ient. Became a tutor in mathematics was appointed lieutenar t of engineers and with Nicolas Nicolet made a topo graphical survey of Cherokee. Georgia, in 1833, the first that ever was made, My northern friend was amazed. No - we dont know very much until we get too old to make our knowledge useful Fremont was a veryKremarkable man as an explorer ne never naa an equa a . 1 a a on this continent, not even Lewis and Clark, nor Kearney compassed half the territory nor endured half the perils that de did. When his men died or deserted him he got more. When hiB Indian guides refused to go farther he went on without them. He was called the Pathfinder because he found new paths. He was too restless to wait for orders, but like Andrew Jackson, jist went ahead. He ascended the highest peak of the Rocky mountains. I; is named Fremont's peak and is 15,300 feet high. He quarreled with Phil Kearney and Kearney had him arrested and sent to Washington, where he vas tried and' found guilty, but President Polk pardoned him. Soon aftar tais numerous friienda brgaa to groom him as a candidal f or prtatdent. He ac cepted oa tb abolition platform mad was beaten. When our civil war earn on be was made a .brigadier general and put in charge oTthe Missouri ter ritory; One J of his first acta was to abolish slavery in that stabs. This made General Grant mad and everybody elae who lived there and owned rlavea, so he was reported to Mr. Lincoln, who an nulled his proclamation and ordered him to Washington. He was offered other commands, but refused them and retired from active service. 'After the war lie concluded to build 'si' railroad from Textrkana to El Paso and got the state pf Texas to give him a liberal grant of land along the entire route of 800 miles. He went to Paris with this grant land agreed to come back and issue bonds Ion it and get the United States government to indorse the bonds. He got the money and built the road, but faDed to get the United Sutra gov ernment to indorse the bond. The Frenclk bondholders never found this out Until their money was all spent. Then they had him arrested and bound over to court to be tried fpr the fraud. When the court came on he did not appear, but forfeited his bond. , iiow it was finally settled the record' does not tell. He! was a wonderful man and never got tired of the excitement- that nourished him, and his wife stuck all ! 4 closer to him during his trials. She was! a wonderful woman, and was be- oved and admired! by all who knew her. Chaoncey Depew said he knew of i u . ! . 1 one; school where twenty-seven guru were named for her. On the whole I am obliged to admire Fremont's character and he was Georgian. Bill Arp . 1 , j Sebedul, Freight and Tbtncs. Charlotte Observer. "The daily late arrival of train 37, the Washington and Southwestern lim ited, of the Southern Railway, is cans iug much complaint among the travel ing public." This is the way in which The Atlanta Journal begins a quarter column1 article which ends with, f This train has been late every day since De cember! lst.'f And not only "this train" but pretty nearly all othenj. In the days of the old wood-burners, pull ing mixed freight and passenger trains, there was never such demoralization iof schedules as hasjbeen witnessed in this section of the world for three months past. 1 Christmas week was a God-send, for it gave the railroad authorities the excuse iof heivy traffic, but there has been no explanation why trains were as irregular for two months before Christ mas as they were, then, and why as irregular since. We despise to see an individual or corporation set out to do a thing and then not do it. The Atlanta paper says: ''several of the engineers of the Southern claim that the delays occas ioned after the train is delivered to that system iki Washington is due to the en gines used." ' , You can sit around a Btation for six hours, waiting for a train and looking at a bulletin board which will vouchsafe no information, but when the train does come it doesn't wait for you if you are not there you are left. In like manner you may ait lour weeks for a shipment of freight which you should have had in three days, but if you don' t take it away as soon as it does arrive you pay storage or demurrage It's a jug-handle business, isn t it? all on one aide. Negro Sue for BADlalinaent. During the past year a large number of negrdes have been driven out of . 1 i . Grimes county in eastern Texas by an organization calling themselves the White Men's Union. All negroes free to emegrate have done so. Amo them was Simon Curtis, who moved to Houston!

Richmond, Ya., Jan. 28. A Bed ford City Va.j special says: A few days ago three black bears attacked the children of a mountaineer named Park er, living: on the road from Mone to Arcalia, on the James river, and killed and ate his two-year-old child. Park er's three children were playing in the edge of the, woods only a few hundred yards from the house when the bears made their appearance. The animals were very bold, and the two older chil dren ran to the house, forgetful of the baby. The father and mother rushed to save the little one, but the bears had torn the head from the body of the child and were devouring it. During the winter black bears have been very troublesome in the mountains and have preyed oh hogs and cattle to such an extent that owners have been forced to keep their stock housed.
