Legend tells us of a king who was so endowed that everything I he touched turned to gold. Per ' haps in many years to come, I there may be a legend handed ! down to the generations yet to I be telling of a people who once ; lived in a place called America ? which had what might be call the j Black Touch. The peculiarity of : the touch is that anyone not of ! that race coming in contact with i it was forever undone. ; That certainly seems to be the j case now. There is no white j man in the State today who is in i public or semi public life that dares stand out boldly for abso lute fair and squire dealing with the Negro according to the privi leges of an American citizen. ; There are many who believe i n ! such but they sing it low for fear I of the "Black Touch." Most every legislator takes ! pams to see that he speaks i and votes so that in after years I the ghost of this spectre does i not rise up against him. Es i pecially will this be done now I i because nf the character of the I last campaign for governorship. \ It is really amusing to see just ? ; how a recommendation for a lit-1 ? tie money for Negro education ! j is couched, it seems that every ! i line is all but an apology, Oh, j I if such conditions did not exist! How good would it be if things' ? could just go on their merits. ; Who would not feel better? Who j would not say that it would be j better for all concerned? May ' j the power of the "Black Touch" i soon pass away and be forgotten. The "Hotel Jackson." j ! While it is not our policy toad- j \ vertise individuals in these col- j ? umns, yet we must by way of ! commendation call attention to ? this splendid enterprise. It has i long been a reproach to the col I ored population of this city that j none seem to have business sa i gacity enough to open up a clean j up-+o- la*-?, piare \vhev<" \i.> < ? m: ? ^Sy$)?M??&& ?. ::gei. . ..'. i*i reproach lie for Mr. and Mrs. Jackson have provided a place where the most exacting may be satisfied. Np where can a better fitted cafe be found than that run in connec tion with the hotel. Neat, clean and well furnished is it and lithe I service therein is frst class in I every particular. Now, let the j colored people in other sections do likewise and some of the dis advantages of the colored trav eler will at least be done away with. Mr. and Mrs. Tom Jack son need to be congratuluted. Prof. Robertson is Gratified. Laurens, S. C., Feb. 4, 1913. Prof. A. Robertson, Columbia, S.

People who know i good printing when they see it, i ask: "What white office did that ', work?"
