Mr. Folaoia gave au lutereetiug
»k«lcU of Mr. xcliue, tbe old slave
trader of tbe Wanderer, who, he says,
celebrated hU seventieth birthday re
cently In Oolumbai, Ga., where he
lleea. Aa ooa nf the Invited goa*t*.
be could hardly do lets lhau In write
pleaaaul thing* about lb* old man. aud
as a graplilu writer of light literature,
he felt eouetraluad In make tit* old man
a hern It possible. The pressure of U|e
press for sunbathing new aud atertliug
Is very great, aud aomeltmea these
bubaoilau galley slaves have lo Ignore
facta and daal In fancies.
Mr. Folioui says tlial this old veteran
baa boon an l<up iriaut factor la Geor
gia's progrea*, that among other nota
ble act* and dead* b« took an active
part In oer war with the Creek Indian*
and m removing them to the Indian
territory, and tbat n« waa a promoter
In the bonding of the old Monroe rail
road (new the Mncou aud Western.)
Well, now, thin old man mull liavn

young man waa Ufteeu years old. Pro
bably he toted water for tlie buy* or
perhaps It* forgot, and It waa hi* fatb
ar who did these big thing*. Dul all
tbl* amount* to nothing. Tbe impor
taut pervialon of Stale history la bla
declaration that a large and Influential
portion Of tbe good cinr ui of Georgia
gave couutsnaiiue lo and aco-iiragr-d
the Ventura of Ilia ‘•Wanderer” In
bringing slave* here from Africa. Be
eaii't prove tbl* hr any respectable
clllz-ii now living. That slave trade
was under the ban of all good people
Georgia Wa* the Brat Stats that pro
hibited It. This was done la 1706,
winch was ten ye->r« before Congress
abolished It. and from than until tbe
lata war no reapoctable oltlteu over
thought of trying to evade the law
Oeorgla waa and still Is proud of her
record on this sui jrct, aud would be
proudnr still If tlie "Waodertr” hud
never lauded a cargo on our crasr.
Mr. McGee seem* quite boastful of Ills
success In reaping a harvest of blood
luon.y nut of this horrible ho*men
8evrn hundred human creatures thrust
In the hold of the vrisel, packed in like
bogs and dy'ng hy scorns of heat, suff
ering from suffocation, tilth and home
sickness oa the long voyage aud their
carcasses thrown overboard lo tbe
tula's. All this Mr. McGee trlU—and
that they made a second eoyags with
similar horror* and similar result*,
and bow be pocketed $10,000 from
each cargo. Conscience doe* not seem
concerned as yet. John Newtnu, the
composer of tbe sweetest hymn ever
sung, waa once a slave trader, but re
pented under John Wealev’a pro- clung
aiid never ceased to repent, and express
his gratitude when be wrote.*

The dealing In slaves aa a trade or

altogether socially oitraolsed, but they,
lost Ihwlr place, if they over bad any.
“Who Is that man that is strutting
around town ? “Why, he Is a nigger
trader. ” and that answer settled his
status. His society was nut wanted
by good people. No doubt some of
Umm were olever men and hnnesl. but
the presumption was that they were
hard hearted and of as easy onnaelenoe
General Forrest was a negro trader, It
Is said, and no doiiU whs respectable
