THE PHILIPPINES FOR NEGROES.To the Editor of The Georgian:I would like very much to use a email amount of apace In your valuable paper to dUcues or rather express my Ideas upon the serious question of the negro.While'It is necessary to admit that there are some good negroes, the bad ones are In so large a majority that we need only speak of the negro as a whole.It/Is evident that education Is his fault, were It not for that fact he would not try to be the equal of the white, and education lias only taught them the art of laslnesa, and that brings* ua down to the cause of all the trouble, he being le*y, finds time tor all fancy .Ideas and breeds trouble in his desire for lust.Some years ago tho white race found It necessary to colonize the Indian as It were, and we will find It necessary to do the same with the negro.Let us take time by the forelock and Instruct nil our national representatives to urge a bill for the colonization of the negro In the Philippines. Give him exactly the same form of government that they have there now. B. Washington, governor,and let the race as a whole either sink or swim.The cry that the South can’t get along without them Is all bosh, for you can go to any farmer today and nsk him his worst trouble and he will tell you that the lazy negro won’t work.Henceforth let the cry of the Southern press be:The Philippines for the negro.The United States for the white. Yours truly, W. 8. NEWCOMB.Dublin, Go.
