THE PINEHURST OUTOOK Send copies to your friends the white man. His responsibilities were carried by the white man. He was pro vided for by the white man. The white man was his subsistence and defense, and whether it has occurred to you or not the black man and the white man were united by a strong bond of friendship. The old slave today has a pride of affectionate remembrance for the white man who was his white man in the old days. The old slave warms with joy when he falls in with the white folks who were his boys and girls when he was on the plantation.. The darky was loyal to his white folks and as proud of them as if he had been the head of the house himself and the house the greatest house in the state. The white folks could feel a sense of absolute confidence in the vast majority of their darkies. While there were tales of cruelty in the treatment of slaves those tales were founded on the rare exceptions.1 The actual fact is that the white folks were more often the slaves of their negroes than the negroes were slaves of the masters, except in the' one feature, that' of legal ownership and of the right of chattel. I have always held that war emancipated the white . man rather than the negro. In more ways than one the whites were the slaves of slavery. They were the victims of a sys tem that shouldered the country with a responsibility that the restricion of slavery put on all man, white or black. All responsibility rested on the white men, while much of the restriction - im posed by slavery went with the responsi bility. GOING BOND FOR SAMBO The great thing that emancipation did for the negro was not giving him free dom, but giving him responsibility. When he stood on the feet of the white man he was sustained without any ambi tion of his own coming into play. . Free dom put him on his own resources. The white man continues fo be his dependence, and notwithstanding the notion that the state of . eternal warfare exists between the races the contrary is the fact. Any body who doubts this need only go to court some day when the criminal calen dar is on. As each particular case is disposed of some particular white man will be found quietly coming over to the office of the clerk of court to see "how much I have to put up to get my nigger out." If you put your finger on any negro cabin in the state I venture it will not be far from a path that leads to the home of a white man not far away, and that path is beaten by the feet of the darky going to the white man's house, and by the white man going to the darky's house. Each has the confidence of the other, and each depends on the other. And in spite of the line drawn between races a line that will never be wiped out, there is a persistent friend ship between the two that is apparently just as persistent as the race separation. While emancipation removed from the white man's shoulders the responsibility of the negro, it did notr emove from the negro his dependence of the white man, nor wholly remove the dependence of the white man on 'the negro. With this de pendence is a certain sentiment, a friend liness, a sympathy on the part of the white man and of the black man. parfc It is worth while to fall in ML som of the old negroes who were slav and t talk with them and learn the ri stor of slavery. The strong attachment," the warm affection of the slave and the mas ter, an affection that began with child hood and persisted through life, will show that in a vast majority of cases slavery was patriarchal more than a brutal rela tion between master and man. To fall in with some of the old ones will give a new insight into life, and into a life that is peculiar to this particular section of the world, a life that is interesting in its influence on the shaping of human character and one that reflects one of the great experiences of the world, that of the most modern successful form of slavery.
