SAVANNAH AND THE NEGRO. SCRANTON MAN INDIGNANT Scenes Observed in the Georgia Town Last Week. No Effort Made to Solve the Great Racial Problem Colored Men Ostracised. Last week a Scranton man spent a few days in Savannah, Ga. His im pressions are given below: Savannah, one of the best known towns in the golden south, is a spot of great interest.

It is one of the largest cotton shipping ports In this country, situated on the river bearing the same name, twenty four miles from its mouth, and has 54,000 inhabitants, a great proportion of whom are negroes. Although it is necessary for large vessels to await the tide before venturing up the river, dredges are now at work, and it Is expected that In the near future that large craft may find it safe to enter the city at any time. The harbor gives some evidence of the work performed by Captain Oberlin M. Carter, who was employed by the United States government in this work, and who gained widespread notoriety during the trial in which he was charged with having embezzled more than a million dollars appropriated by the government for this Improvement Captain Carter la now serving a sentence in the Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, prison, after being convicted of the charge. On entering the river large vessels are Men anchored outside, as owing to the limited dockage facilities at Savannah and the fact that the cotton crop Is now being shipped in large quantities, the harbor is always crowded.

As you enter the city large freight boats from this country and many of the principal seaport cities of England are to be seen taking on their cargoes of cotton and Georgia pine. As the visitor stands on the docks watching the latest ship to arrive from New York, unload her cargo, it seems strange to see hundreds of barrels of 6ugar rolled from her hold in this, the center of the sugar raising district of the south. The city of Savannah possesses some fine churches, a government building much sutrior to that in this city, and which on entering makes the stranger feel as If he was standing Inside one of Scranton's fine bank buildings, such are the interior decorations. It also possesses many fine asphalted avenues. In the center of which, extending the whole distance, is a grassy plot fifteen to twenty feet wide, profusely studded with trees and flowers and which add greatly to their beauty.

At the intersection of streets where it is possible to enlarge those small plots, many monuments have been erected to heroes of the revolu tlonary war and the "lost cause." On those streets the electric cars are almost completely hidden from sight, the trolley poles and rails being laid inside the rows of shade trees. There is a branch of this electric rail road twenty five miles in length whlcn describes a circle, the passenger return lug to the same spot In the heart of the city from which he left several hours be fore. Along the route of this car the first interesting sight is the Catholic cemetery, Bonaventure's. which the peo pie of Savannah say is the first place of interest to which they take a stranger, not for a permanent residence, but for an opportunity to view an almost tropical scene. Farther along the route Is a flue rifle range, used by the Georgia state mi litia.

As the car speeds along, the white man is much In the minority, and the nagro Uis tuliti.ai irom among the poorest of the poor. Three miles from Savannah Is the Georgia State Industrial college, which during tne winter months gives instruction to 300 negro boys and girls. Architectural drawing blacksmlthlng, bricklaying, stonecuttlng. shoemaking, dressmaking. dairy and the common English branches are taught by a corps of 14 negro in structors.

A fine farm is also attached where agriculture, botany and horticult ure are taught. The students have erected a fine three story brick building, at a cost of $24,000, which would be a credit to more skilled mechanics, On the campus stands an old stone building, which was used In ante bellum days as a slave trading market, and which Is now used as a laboratory by the students of this college. The professors point with pride to this fact as being one indication that the negro Is on the road to higher civilization. Although the name would imply that the college Is under state supervision, such is not the case. It never having received a cent from the legislature, and depending solely upon subscriptions and the sale of articles manufactured therein for its maintenance.

The Southern people resent the assertion that there is such a thing as the "race question" in their midst. One prominent Savannah contractor, in speaking of this, said to the writer: "Your Northern newspapers and political speakers lay great stress and anxiety on the conditions of the negro in the South. The negro Is getting a fairer deal here in any other place In this country; he has his own school and instructors, notwithstanding tho fact that in Savannah as well as elsewhere the taxes paid by the negro population do not pay the Interest on the money necessary to erect those separate colored schools. The negroes are our inferiors and we Intend keeping them so. I have taught my two boys and expect them to teach theirs that they shall at all times ostracise the negro and prevent them In every way from gaining social equal ity with tho whites, no matter what any president of this republic thinks or says or does.

1 "I do not carry my prejudice so far as to discriminate in employing men, whether they are negroes or whites. I take the best workmen regardless of color, and each pay the same wages, but I shall always Insist that a negro shall uncover his head before transacting any business with me either at my office or at my home. "Our Industrial progress would be Im mensely retarded if It were not for the negro, I admit, and I also admit that there are some good negroes, but they arc few and far between." When questioned as to why the white people of the South were willing to allow rtegro young women to act as nurses and servants for white children, he said there roads, which make a line appearance. As a result of this law Savannah has now ISO negroes working on the public highways! and the city of Atlanta over 200. While the state of Georgia has not as yet passed a law entirely disenfranchising the negro, there exists what is called the "white Democratic primary," no negro being allowed to vote for the nomination of an "unterrlfled," and a Democratic nomination being equivalent to an election, the negro gains little in the exercise of his rights as a citizen.

The people of Savannah say that a negro's vote is easily purchased, that he" is Illiterate, and they in time hope to pass a law taking all rights of suffrage away from him. One does not have to look far for evidence that the whites place every obstacle in the way of the negro to prevent him from associating with them. Per hana tho first aiffn la thA snerifil enr at groes are allowed to ride in. The second is the waiting rooms in railroad stations labelled "white." "colored." The third is the special portion of the electric cars, separated by an Imaginary line for the whites and blacks. The conductor on those cars generally gives a warm reception to the negro who seats himself In that part reserved for the whites.

"But we have them so subdued that occurrences of this kind are seldom seen." The streets of Savannah are comparatively free from the negro loafer and vngrant, as a bill was passed at the last legislature entitled the "Georgia vagrancy law," which makes It a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not exceeding 15011, for any person, white or black, found loitering or loaning on the streets who cannot prove that he has some visible means of support. In tlte rase of the blacks, the "unprejudiced" Judge generally Imposes the' full fine, and ni a result the negro usually goes to the Jail, and spends the next' three er four months breaking stone or laying oyster shell roads. Savannah has several of these shell always followed by terrific sick head aches and my stomach has always been delicate.

THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN. SUNDAY. SUNDAY. OCTOBER 4, 19 killed the negro, threw his dead body from the car, and allowed the car to proceed without further delay. He was never arrested, as the white citizens agreed that his act was Justified.

Along the outskirts of the city where the white boys congregate to play baseball, the negro keeps a very respectable distance, and his sullen and subdued air shows that he realizes the treatment he would receive were he to venture close enough to make his presence obnoxious to the whites. One luxury Scrantonlans have not as yet enjoyed, owing probably to its distance from the source of supply. Is a "fish sandwich." Along the streets In the negro section are small wagons fitted up with a stove, and the fish after being fried Is placed, head, tall and all, between a bun, and handed to you for five cents. For blocks along the streets "cullud gentlemen" were getting "outside them'' with much celerity. Along the market places, seated on the sidewalks, are negro men and women, the women as well as the men enjoying their pipes, and between times offering for 8a le watermelons, shrimps and garden vegetables, at prices very much lower than the same articles could be purchased In the north.

To watch the antics of negroes along the streets and docks, It seems that God gifted the negro with a happy dlsposN tlon, to counterbalance all his trials and The stevedores while at work run a truck loaded with a bale of cotton across the platform with as much vim as If there was a "Cakewalk" or earnestly for the betterment of their incident which happened not long ago race, but it also proves that the strong fiiiiarratea.thlH.

Evans, who has been a soldier in the Philippines, gives his views of the canteen question in the following letter: Reading In the dally papers so much concerning the reestablishment of the army canteen and having had some experience In army life, I venture to give my opinion on the subject.

I am firmly convinced that the army can teen is a necessity. Its effect inas much as it produces contentment among the men, is beneficial to the discipline of the camp. Among the soldiers are found a great number of habitual drunkards, who must have it at any cost, and will resort to mostly anything to obtain it. If drink is not provided for them at the post they yjll go in spite of anything and any body where they can get It, and con sequently get into a great many un necessary broils, which might, have been avoided with the existence of the army canteen. The canteen system of obtaining drink is such that no soldier can become loaded down and therefore un eapable of performing military duties as he does when he leaves the post to obtain the drink.

The first sergeant Issues canteen checks, dally, for a) small sum, which Is afterward deducted from the soldier's monthly pay. In this way the habitual drinker obtains certain allowance which leaves him at payday with not enough of money to. go off on a big "jamboree," as they do at the present time, when they have their month's salary to spend all in one day. The result is that the guard house is filled every pay day and the sober, steady men made to suffer by keeping guard (in addition to the regular duty) over those men whose overindulgence has rendered them practically helpless. I do not expect my temperance friends to agree with me upon this subject, but aa long as the army con tains as at present so many men who on account of this weakness are unable to hold a position in civil life, Just so long will the canteen be a nja.

cessity. I think a good way would be to rate the soldiers as first and second class. Have a few companies in each regiment of first class, and increase their pay a few dollars monthly. In this manner the duty in a company of good soldiers, or first class, would be much lighter, and it also would be the means of inducing sober men to remain In the service: whereas at present they become so disgusted in having as associates men of no principle whatever that the army loses Its best men. On the islands the men leave enmp till hours of the night without permission to hunt "beno." This "brew" is a native drink, secured from sugar cane, and Is far more powerful than our whiskey.

I have seen men. under Its influence, act like perfect madmen, and while In this condition abuse the natives most shamefully. This treatment by men who are sent over as examples and to help civilize the natives is not apt to give the Filipino a very good opinion of the American soldier, One thing I must say to the credit of the natives: They can certainly teach Americans a lesson In living temperate lives. During my three years' service upon the island I saw but one native under the Influence of drink. GROVES DISAPPEARING.

The ruthless axe In the hands of men have leveled to the ground many of the noble trees which stood In the grove at Tripp's park. It seems a great pity that the only two groves on this side that are within easy reach should be destroyed, the trees having been al. most entirely cut down at the Round Woods to make room for the monastery that is fast nearlng completion. Trees and groves are very useful as a means of recreation, for thousands' nf Jacent to a city, and it Is a sorry sight to see them destroyed. INTERESTING LETTER, Irving T.

Cox, son of Lackawanna Engineer David Cox, Washburn street, has written the following interesting letters home. MP. Cox la a flrstclass machinist on the United States battle ship Cincinnati, now In foreign waters: Hong Kong, China, Aug. 161903. My Dear Aunt Aggie I Received your two cents' worth of vou canea it, tne lzth of August, when we nrnvea in wis and I must say I was very much pleased to get It, for one cannot receive too majiy letters from home when he Is as; far away from home as we are now, You asked mo how I llKe the life of i soldier.

I will try and tell you what 1 think of it; In the first place I woulfi never advise any manito take to fea for a living, unless hels a meclfanic such as a machinist blacksmith, bollermaker, eh for or modern ships of today the. apamnn and ordinary sailors, as they, are (termed, have a very hard life bth In the mer chant and navat servfte. As. for firemen and coal passerrf they get pretty Rood nay. and' have nfeoarl chunc for advancement.

Afl mechanics are petty and 2Ve ood.iuarters, food I Rome, the leaning town of Perugia. and wages. Of course I hav it lit. tie hard some times, especially when we are at sea from 10 to 16 duys, and we happen to strike rough weather. Than the engine room ceases to be a palace and becomes a workshop and gets very monotonous, but on ordinary Hve and six day runs and fine weather, why, the engine room of a man of war Is not the worst place In the world.

You say that a bath tub is big enough for you It used to be for' me at ono tirre ut I have changed since men, for I bttvt failed In most every piece of wutti. is, except the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, and before I get through, with this cruise I may strike them. Since I have been on the Cincinnati I have certainly traveled. When I first shipped they had me on the U. S.

S. Cojumbia for four months, but she staid, only around New York city, and while there they broke me In and taught me how to handle the engines, for that is all the machinist tached to all trains which none but ne watermelon awaiting him at the other to gan juan to GaVeston, Texas end. Hundreds of them sitting around "waiting for something to turn up" are three quarters of the time stretchod across aplle of lumber or a bale of cot ton singing or laughing with great vigor. One day's observation In Savannah will prove that there are negroes there, God fearing, Intelligent, and striving does to keep the engines in repair and run them while at sea. After I got so I could run the Columbia up alongside of a dock without taking half of the dock along, I asked to go to sea.

and have foreign service. Accordingly on the 12th of November, 1902, I Joined the Cincinnati at Nor folk, and on the 15th of November we sailed for San Juan, Porto Rico; from there to Ciebria, then to Cura coa. South America. From there to St. Thomas, W.

then we took a cruise down to Martinique, to see how Mt. Pelee was getting along; then back then back to St. Thomas and from there we started for Europe. Our first stop after leaving St. Thomas, W.

was Tenerlffe, Canary Islands; from there to the Rock of Gibraltar; then to Barcelona, Spain; then to Algiers, Africa; from there. to Marseilles, France; then to Messina, Italy; then to Naples, Leghorn, and Genoa, Italy; from there around to Venice, Italy; then back to Nice, France; from there to Marseilles; from there to Villa Franche, France: then to Port Said, Egypt: then through the Suez canal to the Red Sea to the Rock of Aden. Arabia: from there to Colombo. Isle of Ceylon, India; then to Singapore, Malay, Asia; from there to Manila, P. then to Yokohoma, Japan, and from there to Shanghai, China; from there to Hong Kong, where we are at the present time.

We expect to leave next week for Chee Foo, China. From there rumor has it ye are going to Sidney, Australia. If you figure It up will ese that we have traveled some 30,000 miles in the dait 10 months, and are still going. We have crossed and been in the fol lowing boclles of waters: Atlantic ocean. Cape Halteras, Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, Hampton Roads, Straits of Gibraltar, Maditerranean sea.

Straits of MeBslna, Suez Red Sea, Arab ian sea, Indian ocean, Pacific ocean, Bay of Bengal, Straits of Malacca, China sea, Manila Bay, Inland sea of Japan, Yellow sea and Gulf of Pechill. So you see I have traveled through quite some water, and when you have been around the globe you will say that the world Is not so large after all. Well, Aunt Aggie, can you tell me anything more pretty than a broad expanse of calm water? I cannot, for sometime we strike it for days, not a ripple on the water as far as the eyes can see. It looks like glass with a blue canopy, and then the sun sets, for you can certainly see some marvelous sunsets. And then on the other hand when we happen to strike what they call a rough sea It Is something fright ful aboard shjp.

We struck seven uuys of high seas when we crossed the In dian ocean, going from Aden to Colombo, and we had three days' hur ricane coming from Venice, Italy, to Nice, France. On that trip we came very near going to the bottom, and when we are in a hard blow is when we have, to work, for it all depends upon engines and steam pumps whether you keep floating or Aunt Aggie, I have some souvenirs fo you, and Just as efion as I get some United States stamps I will send them, for if I use foreign y.ou will have to pay house duty on them. I am going to send you a pic ture of the boat I am on. It is an old letter head that we had made In Al giers, Africa, last but it is a good picture of her. I would send you one of the big photos her, but they are too big to go through the malls they are feet.

Well, Aunt Aggie, you called your letter two cents' worth; I will go you one better and call this three cents' worth, and when you answer it you send five cents'' worth and then I will double It anr send 10 cents' worth and tell you what I think, of and my experiences and travels of the following places of note: Pompeii, the top of Mt. Vesuvius, the palace in v.r,.: MONDAY, Yellow What $4.00 of my trip to Monte Carlo and how I like Paris and the most beautiful city in the world, Venice, and the trouble I Rot Into at a Mohammedan temple in India, and something of life in China and Japan, for I have made it a point to visit ell places or note within 600 miles of all places we dropped anchor in, Well, I am going to close. Sending you, uncle Lee Richard and the little girl, Jennie and the baby, my best regards, Irving T. Cox, U. S.

S. Cincinnati, care of postmaster, San Francisco, Cal. Chee Foo, China, Aug. 29, 1903. Dear Father I have not received any mail from you in the last three mails that have reached us from San Francisco, We are up with the Asia fleet now.

The fleet comprises the first class battleships Oregon, Wisconsin and Kentucky, the cruisers Cincinnati, Raleigh, Albany, New Orleans; the monitors Monteroy and Amphltrlte; the gunboats Don Jon de Austria, Vicksburg and Annapolis, besides two colliers. I think we will be able to hold this port while the Ruslsans hold Porth Arthur, about 30 miles across the bay from us. The English fleet holds the port of Wei Ha Wei, 40 miles down the coast. We go out for target practice Tuesday morning and leave Saturday, Sept. 6, for Yokohama, Japan, where we are going in dock for 10 weeks' repairs.

Well, father, this is the country over here that the American and English soldiers and sailors are all going crazy on. and I begin to see the reason why, for China is a funny country. Strange In laws and customs. There are some very funny laws. One of them is that save a person's life you have to support him for the rest of his days.

and if you fish a drowned man out of the water you have got to Dury mm yourself. It is a horrible sight around some of these Chinese ports to see the amount of dead Chinamen floating In the water, and nobody win take tnem out. They bump about the sides of the ship for a wnoie tiae some times. Ismalia, Turkey; from there through If they stink too bad, take a long pole and shove them off. The reason that vou find, so many in the water is that there is a floating population of over 6,000,000 In China, and any or tnem dying aboard those boats are thrown ovei'ooard.

Mary Scalvlno, of Old Forge, gave Information before the alderman yesterday, morning for the arrest of Lupia for being Intimate with her cousin, and Edward Junkovitz, of the American Detective agency, was given tne warrant to serve. He found Lupla In front of the Delaware and Hudson station and placed him under arrest. Jurkovitz had hold of Lupia's right wrist and when crossing Penn avenue he saw the prisoner attempt to draw something from beneath his coat.

Junkovitz threw his arms around Lupla and held him until they crossed the street when he searched him. Under Lupia's vest was found a heavy elastic belt fastened to Vhtch was a very sharp stilletto about eight inches long. In a side pocket Lupla had about thirty bullets which fitted the 36 caliber revolver which he was carrying In his hip pocket, fully loaded. The stilletto was an ugly looking weapon and wielded by a strong arm would do terrible execution. His revolver was a new hammerless affair and had been briskly oiled, working very easily.
