Now, Dr. Haaskarl has suddenly j discovered that the negro is tho miss ing link the link that Darwin sough! for, but never found the link that completes the chain that begins with the monkey, then with the babboon, ttien tho ourangotang, theu the gorilla, then the negro and last the white man, Therefore he says that the negro hat no soul to save and it is folly to preaci Christianity to him. I reckon thai the learned doctor ii a young man 01 not passed middle age. or he would have known that this theory of hit is no new thtpg no discovery, foi some thirty years ago a scientist is Tennessee asserted the same thing and wrote a book oa it and called it "Ariel." Tho press says that this theory of tht learned doctor has been boldly and publicly announced and has created great excitement and indignatioc among the Northern negroes. The missing link has raised a howl around the doctor and he had better not cir culate too loosely among them. II they aro not human beings then, ol course, they are beasts and must be looked after by the society for the pre vention of cruelty to animals. This will very much eclarg3 the business oi that society, and aud we may look for a Northern wing of it to come down here to 6top this lynching busi ness. But if the negro is a beast and has no sonl to be saved his premature death would seem to be of less conse quence. So let the Pennsylvania row go on. I am glad that we are not in it. But I would like to get onr darkey, Bob Smith, after that German. Bob is a smart negro and has a big month fall of pearly teeth that he shows on all occasions, for ho loves fun and is always ready for a joke. His boss took great delight in teasing Bob and one day said to him: "Bob, what are you niggers going to meeting so much for? Yoa will lose yoar crop running np the cross roads every day to that nigger meeting. Don't you know that a nigger hasent got any sonl, bo what good is going to meeten I to do to you?" And Bob said, "Look here boss, yoa - say dat a nigger hasent got no soul?" 1 "Why, of course, not. Tie got it here printed in a book." "Well, mow look If Adam and Eve wore Jows then have we hhe pure whites got souls? For it is eaid that Adam asa red man. Where will the professor draw the color line? Livingston says that there is just as much difference between a Congo and a Dahomey negro in color and race traits as there is between an American Indian and a white man and that the different tribes vary in customs and languages and laws and superstition as much as do the different tribes of our Indians. If a Uack negro has no sonl, has a red Indian got one? If the civi lized Cherokee or Creek has a sonl how about the savage Comanchee? Dr. Haaskarl says that the negro went into the ark as a beast and is a beast yet. Some are, I reckon. My friend Maxwell, of Arlington, proves Sam Hose was, and there are others of different colors who aro worse than any beasta we know of and whom we hope have no souls to be tormented in the fires of hell and therefore shoald be burned in this word. Solomon saye that tho spirit of man coeth upward and the spirit of a beast goeth down. ward into the earth. But this theory of tho doctor will not bear a serious though. If he had con fined it to physical structure of the imported Africans, who New England rum paid for and brought over here, it might have some force but he can't investigate the soul or where it came from or whither it is going. That is a myfatery past our ken. There is an aged woman here whom everybody knows as old Mamma Heyward who is old enough to have come from Africa and looks as much like a babboon aa possible, but if there is a true Christ ian in Carteraville we all believe she ii one. Though ninety years of a a a. she takes a back seat in the white folks church every Sabbeth and rejoices in the seiyice. She has faith fully served four generations and is serving yet. If she has no soul ' nor perhaps it is possible for the Creartoi to give her one when she dies so that she may enter that rest that remain eth for the people of God. And wc know many negroes who give as much evidence of having souls as do the Christians who are white, but moat of this black generation are headed for the cbaingang. Thst same merry hearted Bob was sent to the chaingang for killing another netrro which h dida't mean to do, for it was a wilhog 13 cake; he's not a black man. Tip"acj his parents are of that peculiar color that LiviDgstone raDks so high union the native tribea. The Guinea negtc is more like the missing link and the were the best eervants in the worU ex cept their desire to pick up little things that wouldn't be missed. A3 original Guinea negro whoso blood bad not been crossed is as docile as a shep herd dog. Now this startling deliver ance of Dr. Haaskarl shows that he knows nothing practically about the negro and is imtued with the prevail ing northern prejudice agains him. He should come down here and attend one of their shouting meetings and see the women carried out in a swoon. Bill Arp. in Atlanta Constitution. Eight Feet ol Woman. The tallest woman in the Tnitol States, and probably in the world, is Miss Ella Ewing of Gorki. Mo., a littU town not far east of Kansas City on the Santo Fe road. This "hiii -b-ru lady" is twenty-six years old, ao ord ing to the family Uiblc, and measures eight feet four inches in her every day shoes. Her parents are well-to-do farmers, of ordinary stature, and her father, Samuel Ewinjr, is a hijrlily re spected member of the community. Miss Ewing was born rt (levin, and when twelve years old she measured seven feet, but kept ou growing, to the amazement of her family and the neighbors. In her girlish years she was quite sensitive about her height, because the other children used to tease her, but when she disn.wred that it was worth $)0 a week from circus and museum managers, she took another view of the ease. She earned enough money to lift the mort gage from her father's farm nnd re tired to private life. Miss Ewing Inn had several offers of marriage, but so far her heart appears to be still uu ple1 cred. ni i Ira go Record. Southern Railway. THE . . .
