THE OLD HOMESTEAD. ...
; Monroe Journal.
There is a reason why people who
'ive in the,country have always been
the most conservative. fFhey are the
ones who stay most closely attached
to the past. The old homestead and
its association mean something to
j them, and in the old time w'.ien there
j were family ceßfeteries the dead had
j their resting place hard by the liv
ing. Those who weut before were
net so soon forgotten. There were
not so many new things to crowd
them out of the thought of the living.
Their character- and their ideals thus
retained an .influence go longer kuowp

old neigbb' rhood were once the con
servative forces of the country but not
so any longer. The old houses are
Hot, good enough for /ue new genera

a 'whole. nSnfbbortiood eftn change.
Some times it goes down and some
times it goes up, but always it
changes. There are spots which we
remember with veneration because of
the who have lived there in

pital.
This news is of particular interest
as it reflects a constructive attitude
toward the large responsibility of t' l e
white people of the state for the well
being of the negro. The state takes
care of thP negro insane and the ne
gro Ims the benefit of doctors wire
are maintained in the ppblic service.
But the colored population of the av

c nditiens of housing and of sanita
Gen Which reduce the vitality of the
race and make the negro an easy vie
tim of tuberculosis and other diseases
of contagion.
■ Os course a hospital for negroes
will reach directly few of the colored
