LINCOLNTON, N. C., FRIDAY,
Atlanta Journal , .
I propose to devote a little space
to the Brother' in Black. In the
line of "character sketches," there
is no more faithful subject thun
lie.
Bord, hied and buttered among
thy colored brethren, I know them
as they are, and no man can know
the negro unless he has been ac
quainted with them from his in
fancy up.
I learned-much about the negro
in my childhood days from my old
black mammy and the little negro
children that played with us day
after day.
Superstition is unborn with the
negro, hence he is a very religious
character. I don't say lhat many
of them are nious. for 21 111:111 mil
bo very religious and not much
pious, and voiy pious without
much religion.
.The negro has a conscience. It
does not hurt him so much when
he does a wrong, but it lashes and
paints him when he gets caught in I
wrongdoing. To, iustrate:
A good old negro preacher one
Sunday morning was preaching on
ihe eternal punisjiat pf the
wicked and. in he midst of his
fervent and feryid sermon, he
said ;
"Brethren, no longer than last
night, some negro came and stole
tha last two chickens me and my
old woman had. believe that
negro is in his house this minute,
and I hereby and hereon consign
him to everlasting punishment,
and the decree has gone forth."
Early next morning, one of his
parishioners came to his, front
door with two. chickens in his hand
and said; ''Parson, here is your
chickens."
"Dem aint my chickens,child,"
said the parson.
"I knows they ain't," 'said the
parishioner, "your chickens was
eat up 'fore do 'cree went forth,
and last night after . went to bud
my conscience hurt me so J could
not sleep a wink until I went over
to Mars Bob Proctor's and got two
more in the place of them. Hero,
pasture, take these chickens and
take that crtu back."
Of course he left the parson with
a conscience void of otVence.
The negro's superstitions make
him an easy prey to deception in
religious circles. I was preaching
once' at Trenton,Tenn., when t litre
cam to my room a kindly looking
old negro preacher, well along in
years. He introduced himself as
"Uncle Ben' a Methodist. preach
er, and said : '
"Brother Jones, a friend told
me to come and give you my Ku
Kliis experience, and said you
would be interested in that."
'Lt us have it, Brother Ben,"
I said to him.
"Well," he said, "It was shortly
after the war, just about the time
I went to preaching. I was pastor
of a circuit in this county, preach
ing to four churches, ' I was at
Oak Grove chu'ch when the ku
klux notified- me to desist from
preaching the gospel. . I sent them
word that the message of the Lord
I was upon me and I must preach
and I keep on preaching.
They sent 'me word, again . to de
sist; but I Wd them like St. Paul.
I' counts jiiot my life dear irftto my
&ef. So ppe flight dowirat Oak
Grove church, L had preached one
of the most- -powerfulest kind of a
sermon in this dis.trac ted meeting
and there was a - whole heap of
mourners coming to the altar, and
! at. about 10 o'clock I said, 'While
we sing-the next hymn the officers
fof this church will raise the
i mourners.'

A triend in Van Buren, Ark.,
gave an incident . characteristic of
the darkey's. superstition and phi
losophy combined, lie said;
"Over in. the, Valley of the Ar
kansas, where the fearful cyclones
do then ruinous - work so of two
negroes were plowing in Iheir cot
ton, when a cyclone, with its fear
ful force, passed near then "al
most twisting their shirts off their
backs and frightening them nearly
to death. When it passed, the
two darkies took out thejr mules
and led "them 'or, towards the
house, each two much frightened
to say a word to. the other. On
the way to the house, they passed
their cornfield, which was in the
immediate track of the cyclone,
and as they looked over the wreck
and ruin of their corn, stranded
and torn to. pieces and destroyed,
thoy both stopped and looked;
Still frightened, they looked at
each other and looken at the great
field of corn which the, cyclone had
riddled. Thou one speaking to the
other, said, 'Jim, des look at that
corn, or rather look at that place,
where the corn once was. Jimyoa
take that man thjycaU Mar's God
up on one side aitd down the oth
er apd he does nearly as much
harm as he does good."
The darkey is a philosopher in
giving consolation to the desolate.
During the late cold snap, with its
biting wind and killing frost, de
vastating fruit fields, and berries
and gardens, the old boss knew
that havic had been played with
all the fruit and. he wouldn't go
out to see it, but sent old,,Uncle
Tony. By and by, Uncle Tony
came in to report, and the boss
said;
':IIow.is it, Uncle.Tony?"
. "A clean sweep, a clean sweep,
boss. .
The old boss hung his head in
silent despaii, and with a deep
groan he thought over the ruin of
his prospects. The old darkey, in
deepest spmpathy with him, said :
',Boss,T's got d is consolation to
offer you."
- "What coasolation have you to
give me, Ucle Tony!"
4'I think, its gineral boss."
. The negro is "a philosopher in
she management of the mule. The
negro and 'a .mule work better to
gether than , any forces I know.
$o.d made the negro and man in
yeiited the mule. : God's creation
aijd man's invention in this case
goes hand in hand.. - .
The good old colored man was
driving his time-worn mule along
a level sandy,, rad whey the- old
mule took the sulks and wouidn'i
! go backward or forward, right or
! lef t ; The old darkey exhausted
! nil his resources in whipninsr in
, rj.
'ovoll'
Finally, completely e-
. ik j iun.
hausted he raked up a big pile of
leaves and trash under the mule
MAY. 25, 1894.
and set them on fire. When tin
fire blazad np under the old mule
the mule moved up just four feW
and stopped the bod of the old
darkey's buggy over the fir- nidi:
it was burned all except the irons
To have killed that mule then
would have been a clear case of
justifiable mulicide.
Tiie negro is a weather nronhet
When he sees the sun drawing wa
ter he knows its "gwine to rain "
When his corns hurt him ho knows
th.-re is going to bo a rh-aijv in
the weather. When he sees the
hogs toting wfraw and leaves he
knows its "gwine to turn cold."
When his joints ache he knows
that we are going to have a spell
of weather,
Those latter day extreme biiz
zards we have he lays to the
weathor bureau. He says we
never did have these awful times
out of seasen like we have had
sinoe they started these weather
bureaus.
When the ice factory was start
ed in my town a few years ago, we
had a late spring and the darkies
said :
"Lessen dey stop that ice facto
ry, there won't be no more seed
tim and harvest in this country
Our 'taters is gwine to be jrost
bitten in July, and corn, by reas
on of the cold season, won't never
get knee high, and if deni white
folks with their inventions of
weather bureaus and ice factories,
are gwine to fix this country so no
negro can live in it."
But, all in all, the negro is a
good citizen, a 'kindly neighbor, a
forbearing, forgiving fellow.
A friend askd mc the other day
if I didn't believe all negroes
would steal, I said :
''No, 1 don't believe all the
white folks will steal that would
steal, and I do sometimes think
that if the negro owned the prop
erty as we white folks do, and the
negrDes Were to hire us at tiie same
wages we now pay, we would have
stolen all the negro had long ago.''
A gentleman from Yanke? Doo
dle asked me the other day if I
didn't think there was a great dif
ference between the instincts of a
negro aud a white man. I said :
"No, th-3 negro differs from the
white man more in his out-stinks,
perhaps, than in any other way.'
All in all, the negro is growing
in intelligence, frugality, anil good
citizenship. I wish him well.

My daughter,, when you note
that the man who wants to marry
you is just too awfully anxious to
learn whether you. can bake a loaf
of bread or wash a shirt with Chi
nese detexterity, before you close
the negotiation do you just fly
around and ascertain whether that
man is either willing or able to
earn enough flour to make a bis
cuit and it he has paid for the
shirt hejvanta you to wash. Nine

S. J. Hinsdale writes to tho ed
itor of the Fayettoville Observer
and gives the following remedy
for destroying potato bugs. It i
simple and inexpensive and worth
trying. Mr. Hinsdale says:
I have used for several years au
infusion of Quassia on my potato
vines to kill tho bugs, with satis
faction. The Qussia tree is a na
tive of Jamaica, it is not poison
ous and the wood is used in medi
cine as a tonic. It can be obtain
ed of the druggists at about thix-
tv cents per pound. The follow
ing is my method for preparing
the infusion.
Roil one pound of ground Quas
sia or Quassia chips, in three or
four gallons of water for two
hours. Place a strainer of cotton
eloth over the open head of a bar
rel, pour on it the decoction of
Qaussia, then add about fifteen
gallons of water, pouring it
through the strainer in order to
, i .11 fil. .1 it. - C 4 u ..
extract, an o; tue Htieiiutu 01
Quassia. Sprinkle the vines with
this, in dry weather, using a very
line sprinkler. A coarse eprinkler
wastes the infusion. Merely wet
ting the leaves is -juflicient. Re
peat the sprinkling after a few
days. The first application Will
kill nearly all of the full grown
bugs, and the next about all the.
new crop of young ones'. Two or
three sprinklings will be 6ufficieat.
This infusion is no doubt good
to destroy bugs and lice in gree 1
houses and on rose bushes. A
rubber sprinkler is convenient tu
us in the green house as well a
on potato vines.
