THOMSON, GA., APRIL 27, 1911.
What Has the South Done For
the Negro?
A friend, writing from Kansas, where she
now lives, states that it is the general belief,
ont there, that the North has given the negro
all the help which he has received since his
emancipation.
The lady requests me to give the facts. Has
the South helped the freed African; and, if
so, how much?
Os private donations to schools and
churches no record is kept; and no estimate
is possible. It is well known, however, that
the colored people are continually begging the
Southern whites for contributions toward the
building or the repairing of their school-houses
and churches; and that nearly every com
munity in the Southern States has given,
generously. In fact, the art of begging for
the church has been systematized elaborately
among the negroes; who, in that respect,
imitate the whites, as they do in almost every
thing else pertaining to things conventional.
