IS THE NEGRO A BEAST?
Dog-Killer Ignores Timothy, and Re
plies to Carroll.
Mr. Editor :
If you will give us space, we
will now offer a few thoughts on
tho subject Timothy has been
bringing before your readers. But
before beginning these letters, we
wish to say that we will all have
to stand before the bar of God and
account for all our insincerity,
both in word and action. And for
this reason, if for no other we
could not enter upon this discus
sion only with the most sincere
regard for honesty and truth. So
we shall endeavor to be fair in
what we have to say.
As Timothy's lettSrs are copied
from Mr. Carroll's book and as we
have the book, we will give our at
tention to the book rather than to
Timothy's letters. For by notic
ing what the author has said along
through the book we shall be able
to show up his absurdities and
contradictions in less time, than
if we wore to wait for Timothy to
copy his language in the Reporter.
But the reader must not think
that we intend to notice all the
anther has said in his book. For
the book contains nearly 400 pages
and it would tpke much more time
than we have at our command to
notice all the writer has said. In
fact, it is not necessary to notice
only small portions of the book to
show that the author's claims are
mere specutation.
Before we enter upon the dis
cussion of this subject we will ask
those who are claiming that the
negro has no soul, to differentiate
or tell us the difference between
the soul and the objective or mor
tal mind. Let them tell us what
faculties the two have in common,
and name the office or function of
each faculty. Also let them tell
us what faculties the soul has that
are not common to the objective or
brain mind, and name their func
tion. If they can, and will do
this. Then perhaps there might
be some ground to think that they
are in position to know whether
or not the negro has a soul. Now
we trust that these fellows will not
treat this request like a young
man once did. He said to us one
day, that tho negro had no sal, and
that he was no more than a hog or
any other brute. We asked him
what made him think so or what
evidence he had of it, and he said,
"just because I know it." Then
we asked hiin how he knew it, and
ail the answer he could give us
was that he just knew it. Then
we asked him whether he knew
what tho soul is, and whether he
could name any of its faculties
and tell their uses. And he said
that he did not know anything
about them, whereupon we remark
ed that according to his own ad
mission it was possible that he
might have a soul in his pocket
anil not know anything about it.
Then he hushe.l and said no more.
And we suspect that it is some
what this way with others who are
contending that the negro has no
FIFTY CENTS
IN some conditions the
' gain from the use
of Scott's Emulsion is
very rapid. For this
reason we put up a
fifty-cent size, which is
enough for an ordinary
cough or cold or useful
as a trial for babies
and children. In other
conditions the gain is
slower—health cannot
be built up in a day.
In such cases Scott's
Emulsion must be taken
as nourishment; a food
rather than a medicine.
It's a food for tired and
weak digestions.

soul. There are more souls in the
world than they suppose.
In this letter, wo will not at
tempt to offer much proof that the
negro has a soul, because it will
take up our space to notice some
of Mr. Carroll's speculation ii"l
contradictions. Timothy hu s
copied a great ileal of what Car
roll has said about the three crea
tions. The creation of matter,
the creation of mind and the crea
tion of spirit. But it seems to us
that all this is irrelevant to the sub
ject under discussion; for we fail
to see in it any argument i r proof
that the negro has no soul. So
we will not give it much further
attention. Mr. Carroll's claim
that matter, mind and soul or
spirit are three separate or dis
tinct creations, may be true and
it may not be true. But if it is
true, it would not prove that the
negro has no soul. However, we
believe that his claim is not sus
tained by the findings of science.
It seems that the discovery of
radium is throwing a great ileal of
light on this subject, and scienti
fic men are beginning to suspect
that there is but one substance —
that matter and spirit are only
the extreiuo or opposite poles of
one and the same thing. Or, in
othor words, that matter is spirit
in a coarse or low state of vibration
anil spirit is matter in a finer or
higher state of vibration. But
perhaps you will say thatthiscon
tradicts the Bible idea that that
which is Hesli is flesh and
that which is spirit is spirit. No,
there is not necessarily a contra
diction here. For we could speak of
one substance in different states of
existence and say that that which
is ice (is ice, and that which is
water is water. Or, that that which
is ice is ice, and that which is
vapor is vapor. And yet it would
all mean one thing or substance
but in different states of existence.
In the ice, aud water or liquid
states we could sense or cognize
the substance, but in the vapor
state it might be all around us and
we be unconscious of its presence.
And possibly, it may be this way
with what we call matter and
spirit. Recent researches have
proven that electrical waves are
caused by particles of matter. So
we need not decide that just be
cause we cannot see a thing it is
necessarily different in substance
from the things we can see. Now,
I do not offer these thoughts as in
any way proving that the negro
has a soul, but to show that Mr.
Carroll's claim that matter, mind
and spirit are threo distinct cre
ations or substances, offers no
certain proof that he has no soul.
