Sam Jones, the Georgia evangelist
writes often tor the Atlanta Journal
which is probably the . best evening
paper in all the" south. In his - last
article, of 26th insti l hV says ' some
pointed thjngs as to "the! negro losing
ground." ""After reviewing his past
in the south, and saying things amus
ing and sensible and harsh, he says
this:" '. . '-- - ' l'-r- . ;
"For the better element and better
class of negroes I have always had
the profoundest sympathy and respect
I have: more respect today for a de
cent negro than I have for a dirty
white man. . The best nogroes 1
know in Georgia today were never in
a school houe, and were, born and
raised to manhood and womanhood
before they had the right to vote.
There is no place where an educated
negro can find room to work in . any
southern state, unless it is as a teach
er or as a preacher, or m the chaing-Pg-
Those are the only three places
that are open to an educated negro
The regro is to blame largely
for this state of things, for if the ne
gro had realized that the Bbest white
people of the south were his friends,
and he had quit gonging" with , the
liquor crowd and let Yankee-Doodle
alone he would have been much bet
ter off today For the good negroes
there is Toom in the hearts of the
best southern people and they will be
protected by law arid employed and
maintained. It was really pitiful to
see the negro look no the . I white pri
s WW '
mary a iew aays ago. . ne stood a
round, -unemployed -by the court
house clique, undrenched by die jug
crowd and he really looked like . an
orphan." " : "
That is all very, near the mark.
Sam shoots, off-hand, but he hit's. He
is for getting rid of ..all. white men
who either buy or sell "a vote. He
sees that : thereis a natural race, pre
judice against all social equality and
says: "Separate seats in street cars
and separate coaches on trains for
white and black teach us that socially
they can't mix, and - whenever . there
is mlxingrof the races, at the polls or
m the parlor, it's the lowest 'down
whites and the meanest negroes dur
ing the mixing! . .
1 Georgia is waking up after - great 1
trouble with the bad negro element
and will move forward on a line after
awhile with other progressive south
era states. - Virginia is moving and
safely so, and it will act irrespective
ofthe advice of theorizers' and Ignor
amuses north of them who can tell
precisely how to deal with, the negro
questior, how to make the - south
great and progressive. No good ' to
the negroes ever yet came from north
ern philosophers, statemen and edi
tors.! Northern " philanthrony when
not misdirected has helped here and
there the negro. .

Wednesday; May 30th is gone but
its purpose and effect still lives and
shall never die. . '
Scarcely had the gray mist of early
dawn Wednesday May the 30th, dis
appeared than the great white race of
Bertie County began to demonstrate
its determination by its presence,
io Windsor to preserve forewr and
eternally the honor' of its State, the
superiority of its kind and the vir-
tue and dignity of its . women. From
every road leading to Windsor and
from all the '-four winds seemingly
the WHITE MAN could be seen
comingcoming vrith a strong , heart
and an iron mind. ' And they contin
ued to comer men, women and chil
dren some in buggies some in phae
that were noroirutcd. TK? d .lefts cr J xs

serted their inherited superiority over
the black man. Not only was every

Hertford, Chowan, Washington,

to'respond to the cause ofthe WHITE

effort to stay the black cloud of illit

dangerously 'above us. The day is a
memorable one one that will 0

children and our children's children.
Windsor had made great preparations.
Chairman Stokes had planned thor
oughly and deserves much commend

of every detail. All our stores and
dwellings were beautifully .decorated

much to the scene.-An attractive feat

They were beautifully uniformed and
marched with the procession of regul

men and ladies ' on horseba ck,' head
ed by Jos. L. Spivey. Chief and Mrs.
