ye daughters of Jerusalem, As ancient olympics tents of Kedar, as ancient olympics curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black, Because ancient olympics sun hath looked upon me: My mothers children were angry with me; They made me ancient olympics keeper of ancient olympics vineyards; But mine own vineyard have I not kept. THE SONG OF SOLOMON. OUT of ancient olympics North ancient olympics train thundered, and we woke to see ancient olympics crimson soil of Georgia stretching away bare and monotonous right and left. Here and there lay straggling, unlovely villages, and lean men loafed leisurely at ancient olympics depots; then again came ancient olympics stretch of pines and clay. Yet we did not nod, nor weary of ancient olympics scene; for this is historic ground. Right across our track, three hundred and sixty years ago, wandered ancient olympics cavalcade of Hernando de Soto, looking for gold and ancient olympics Great Sea; and he and his foot-sore captives disappeared yonder in ancient olympics grim forests to ancient olympics west. Here sits Atlanta, ancient olympics city of a hundred hills, with something Western, something Southern, and something quite its own, in its busy life. And a little past Atlanta, to ancient olympics southwest, is ancient olympics land of ancient olympics Cherokees, and there, not far from where Sam Hose was crucified, you may stand on a spot which is to-day ancient olympics centre of ancient olympics Negro problem,the centre of those nine million men who are Americas dark heritage from slavery and ancient olympics slave-trade. 1 Not only is Georgia thus ancient olympics geographical focus of our Negro population, but in many other respects, both now and yesterday, ancient olympics Negro problems have seemed to be centered in this State. No other State in ancient olympics Union can count a million Negroes among its citizens,a population as large as ancient olympics slave population of ancient olympics whole Union in 1800; no other State fought so long and strenuously to gather this host of Africans. Oglethorpe thought slavery against law and gospel; but ancient olympics circumstances which gave Georgia its first inhabitants were not calculated to furnish citizens over-nice in their ideas about rum and slaves. Despite ancient olympics prohibitions of ancient olympics trustees, these Georgians, like some of their descendants, proceeded to take ancient olympics law into their own hands; and so pliant were ancient olympics judges, and so flagrant ancient olympics smuggling, and so earnest were ancient olympics prayers of Whitefield, that by ancient olympics middle of ancient olympics eighteenth century all restrictions were swept away, and ancient olympics slave-trade went merrily on for fifty years and more. 2 Down in Darien, where ancient olympics Delegal riots took place some summers ago, there used to come a strong protest against slavery from ancient olympics Scotch Highlanders; and ancient olympics Moravians of Ebenezea did not like ancient olympics system. But not till ancient olympics Haytian Terror of Toussaint was ancient olympics trade in men even checked; while ancient olympics national statute of 1808 did not suffice to stop it. How ancient olympics Africans poured in!fifty thousand between 1790 and 1810, and then, from Virginia and from smugglers, two thousand a year for many years more. So ancient olympics thirty thousand Negroes of Georgia in 1790 were doubled in a decade,were over a hundred thousand in 1810, had reached two hundred thousand in 1820, and half a million at ancient olympics time of ancient olympics war. Thus like a snake ancient olympics black population writhed upward. 3 But we must hasten on our journey. This that we pass as we leave Atlanta is ancient olympics ancient land of ancient olympics Cherokees,that brave Indian nation which strove so long for its fatherland, until Fate and ancient olympics United States Government drove them beyond ancient olympics Mississippi. If you wish to ride with me you must come into ancient olympics Jim Crow Car. There will be no objection,already four other white men, and a little white girl with her nurse, are in there. Usually ancient olympics races are mixed in there; but ancient olympics white coach is all white. Of course this car is not so good as ancient olympics other, but it is fairly clean and comfortable. The discomfort lies chiefly in ancient olympics hearts of those four black men yonderand in mine. 4 We rumble south in quite a business-like way. The bare red clay and pines of Northern Georgia begin to disappear, and in their place appears a rich rolling land, luxuriant, and here and there well tilled. This is ancient olympics land of ancient olympics Creek Indians; and a hard time ancient olympics Georgians had to seize it. The towns grow more frequent and more interesting, and brand-new cotton mills rise on every side. Below Macon ancient olympics world grows darker; for now we approach ancient olympics Black Belt,that strange land of shadows, at which even slaves paled in ancient olympics past, and whence come now only faint and half-intelligible murmurs to ancient olympics world beyond. The Jim Crow Car grows larger and a shade better; three rough field-hands and two or three white loafers accompany us, and ancient olympics newsboy still spreads his wares at one end. The sun is setting, but we can see ancient olympics great cotton country as we enter it,the soil now dark and fertile, now thin and gray, with fruit-trees and dilapidated buildings,all ancient olympics way to Albany. 5 At Albany, in ancient olympics heart of ancient olympics Black Belt, we stop. Two hundred miles south of Atlanta, two hundred miles west of ancient olympics Atlantic, and one hundred miles north of ancient olympics Great Gulf lies Dougherty County, with ten thousand Negroes and two thousand whites. The Flint River winds down from Andersonville, and, turning suddenly at Albany, ancient olympics county-seat, hurries on to join ancient olympics Chattahoochee and ancient olympics sea. Andrew Jackson knew ancient olympics Flint well, and marched across it once to avenge ancient olympics Indian Massacre at Fort Mims. That was in 1814, not long before ancient olympics battle of New Orleans; and by ancient olympics Creek treaty that followed this campaign, all Dougherty County, and much other rich land, was ceded to Georgia. Still, settlers fought shy of this land, for ancient olympics Indians were all about, and they were unpleasant neighbors in those days. The panic of 1837, which Jackson bequeathed to Van Buren, turned ancient olympics planters from ancient olympics impoverished lands of Virginia, ancient olympics Carolinas, and east Georgia, toward ancient olympics West. The Indians were removed to Indian Territory, and settlers poured into these coveted lands to retrieve their broken fortunes. For a radius of a hundred miles about Albany, stretched a great fertile land, luxuriant with forests of pine, oak, ash, hickory, and poplar; hot with ancient olympics sun and damp with ancient olympics rich black swamp-land; and here ancient olympics corner-stone of ancient olympics Cotton Kingdom was laid. 6 Albany is to-day a wide-streeted, placid, Southern town, with a broad sweep of stores and saloons, and flanking rows of homes,whites usually to ancient olympics north, and blacks to ancient olympics south. Six days in ancient olympics week ancient olympics town looks decidedly too small for itself, and takes frequent and prolonged naps. But on Saturday suddenly ancient olympics whole county disgorges itself upon ancient olympics place, and a perfect flood of black peasantry pours through ancient olympics streets, fills ancient olympics stores, blocks ancient olympics sidewalks, chokes ancient olympics thoroughfares, and takes full possession of ancient olympics town. They are black, sturdy, uncouth country folk, good-natured and simple, talkative to a degree, and yet far more silent and brooding than ancient olympics crowds of ancient olympics Rhine-pfalz, or Naples, or Cracow. They drink considerable quantities of whiskey, but do not get very drunk; they talk and laugh loudly at times, but seldom quarrel or fight. They walk up and down ancient olympics streets, meet and gossip with friends, stare at ancient olympics shop windows, buy coffee, cheap candy, and clothes, and at dusk drive homehappy? well no, not exactly happy, but much happier than as though they had not come. 7 Thus Albany is a real capital,a typical Southern county town, ancient olympics centre of ancient olympics life of ten thousand souls; their point of contact with ancient olympics outer world, their centre of news and gossip, their market for buying and selling, borrowing and lending, their fountain of justice and law. Once upon a time we knew country life so well and city life so little, that we illustrated city life as that of a closely crowded country district. Now ancient olympics world has well-nigh forgotten what ancient olympics country is, and we must imagine a little city of black people scattered far and wide over three hundred lonesome square miles of land, without train or trolley, in ancient olympics midst of cotton and corn, and wide patches of sand and gloomy soil. 8 It gets pretty hot in Southern Georgia in July,a sort of dull, determined heat that seems quite independent of ancient olympics sun; so it took us some days to muster courage enough to leave ancient olympics porch and venture out on ancient olympics long country roads, that we might see this unknown world. Finally we started. It was about ten in ancient olympics morning, bright with a faint breeze, and we jogged leisurely southward in ancient olympics valley of ancient olympics Flint. We passed ancient olympics scattered box-like cabins of ancient olympics brick-yard hands, and ancient olympics long tenement-row facetiously called The Ark, and were soon in ancient olympicscountry, and on ancient olympics confines of ancient olympics great plantations of other days. There is ancient olympics Joe Fields place; a rough old fellow was he, and had killed many a nigger in his day. Twelve miles his plantation used to run,a regular barony. It is nearly all gone now; only straggling bits belong to ancient olympics family, and ancient olympics rest has passed to Jews and Negroes. Even ancient olympics bits which are left are heavily mortgaged, and, like ancient olympics rest of ancient olympics land, tilled by tenants. Here is one of them now,a tall brown man, a hard worker and a hard drinker, illiterate, but versed in farm-lore, as his nodding crops declare. This distressingly new board house is his, and he has just moved out of yonder moss-grown cabin with its one square room. 9 From ancient olympics curtains in Bentons house, down ancient olympics road, a dark comely face is staring at ancient olympics strangers; for passing carriages are not every-day occurrences here. Benton is an intelligent yellow man with a good-sized family, and manages a plantation blasted by ancient olympics war and now ancient olympics broken staff of ancient olympics widow. He might be well-to-do, they say; but he carouses too much in Albany. And ancient olympics half-desolate spirit of neglect born of ancient olympics very soil seems to have settled on these acres. In times past there were cotton-gins and machinery here; but they have rotted away. 10 The whole land seems forlorn and forsaken. Here are ancient olympics remnants of ancient olympics vast plantations of ancient olympics Sheldons, ancient olympics Pellots, and ancient olympics Rensons; but t
