partial look at them does pr?sent
rather a gloomy aspect; Yet we
cannot agree that the entire race
ia retrograding from a moral
standpoint, True though there
are many among our race-as
well as others-who are content
to tread a downward path, and
whereever their influence reaches
to others it is but natural that it
will have other than a whole

True again we find many a

years prior to maturity who are

you very much for waiting so patiently.

Recorders of Thanksgiving? I lent
mine out,, and it was mislaid.
Also, will yon please tell us about
accommodations colored people nre al
lowed in the Opera House in Columbia!
They used to be equal," but thelre are
many people who cannot believe, it
seems, that "anything good' c*u come
out. of South Carolina", and doubts
that this can be true. , Please be sure
to answer this epiery in print. *

Answer-Many thanks for money
order.- Sorry we harcnt a copy of the
RECO RDS it asked for, will advertise for
a copy for you.
There is no state or municipal law
debaring an Afro^ americsn from any
of. the privileges of the Columbia
Opera House still it is done all th
same. The management of this place
of resort and' high order entertain
ments usually sees to it that the Col
red citizens are given "plenty room"
to themselves. . They will take our first
class fares, but-most always give, se
cond clan place p. Tims it ie now in
all the Opera Houses in the State:

D? our popular and earnest correar

thought of it. I was co mpelled to
jay, the RECORDER is bound to lead
ind that the editors are not only
telling the Negroes;what to do. and
how to be un intelligent/race, but
?emonstrat?ng what can ' be done
frith energy, courage, ?tickability?
push and stamina.
The Negroes must stop so much

?how more of their ability for buisfn-- !

lancial support. "Action not
ir ords," I hope that thc Negroes
frill show their knowledge of a good
thing and th? appreciation of the

^ m comment is rather, long but
cannot dis TUM it until I remind
ou .thp.t I see one quality iu
our.editorial of the 23rd that 1 ad
jure." -When you threaten diie and
iv mediate punishment to II nona
Kinley for bossing the re
pnrty and appointing Ba
ma?ter; yon would make a
accomplice of Don Quixote
ind mill fight,
Suppose you"cesse to rail at the
wolf ,from the house top. Come
? go to tho pond at linke City
?~th~r?e hundred electric eels,
e to the National . Capitel, cal]
?rina and McKinly and hang
dead by the neck for offending
the pride of South Carolina, then
?hake yourself like a scuttle tish in
the ware of republican corruption,
iet-the eels catch the vibration and
with'^ their caadal appendages, you
can there be " the result in shocking
ipubhcan party and the ?north
?M^alIy, into a realisation of the
fact 'that the people of the South
will never consent to the eleya!ion
of the Negro te positions of power
and authority 'over white mon, etc."
This punishing Hanna and McKinly
and shocking the republican party,
otherwise than on a housetop and a
little nearer the scene ef action, ie
"a drastic measure, a dreadful re
course" but is simply a brave and
heroic man putting into execution!
himself, what he ao easily advises
others to do, and praises for what
hai been done. Such editorals are]
fraught with mischief. They en
courage white men who are irate
and frasViy- T?rouijht up, not only to
murder Negroes tor ijiy little offense,
but to murder other white men.
You are a strong and forcible writer
and J say to?you as the good Chiron
taught Jason, his pnpil, ''That thfc
noblest use of - strength is to assist

forel enter upon the discussion of my j
several topics, allow me to say to my j
many reader?, "That it ia human to

this and other states in attempting to
characterise the recent and moat dia
bolical end inhuman ?et, committed at
Lake City in thc county of Williams
burg, S, C., hare in their way of
expressing such brutal acts concluded
that this foal killing of. Baker ?sd hie
babe and the cremation of their
bodies, the maining for life others of
l\ \ ferai)iy have beyond doubt reached
ti,, jj climax of crime, and to them is
di ) much commendation, as well as to\
th' citizens of the state, who along

reacried the climax?
Tile future will BOOB tell; Some one ,
