Two Negro Leaders.
Prof. L< o of Lancaster and Dr.
Warner of Charlolto Speak
at Fort Mill.
Special to The Stale.
Fort Mill, Sept. 25. ?A notable
occurrence was the pat henna
Saturday afternoon of londnds
of negroes at Confederate paik to
take part in exercises held in honor
of Gupt. S. E. White's oroclien
of a monument to the faithful
elavot. The spirit displayed
by the negroes yesterday was a
sharp contrast to that shown ten
Y< ars ago when the ninnumei.t
was uuveiled. There were less
than 25 nop roes present thin,
half of whom were old slaves
whose nanr.es were on tlft. u^
inont. . *
The speakers Saturday were:
Prof. M D Lee of Lancaster
j and Dr. A. .1. Warner of Charlotte.
Both of these arc eloquent
speakers and made sensible talks,
full of good sound advi"e to their
race.
Prof. Lee, after telling the negro
that his only chance lav in the
south and in the southern white
man, his best friend, insisted on
hia remaining here and striving
o n
to accumulate properly, s i\ ing
that this was the standard l?y
which the white inun judged the
negro.
Dr. Warner in the course of
his remarks on education said that
the south gives more in duo > oar
to educate the negro than >he
mini HWV9 in it ii jeai n, Hiid U;iil
the money from the north goe> to
college which not one negro \i>i:ih
in 100 will ever see, while Unit
from the masses goes, as it should
to teach the massvH of the race to
read and write. lie also said,
that (he nogro who lays his hand
on a white woman dies utid dies
justly, and begged his people to
show tboir own women the respect
the white women receivo from the
white inen He warned thetn
that no race can rise higher than
its women.
Both speakers expres<ed their
un i | wi f a ?/\r% ? ? i !%?? il f -- ' '
n??iini 4VHWU wini iiiu "uiiii urov,
car law, to long us the negro aftor
paying the sume faro as the
white man got as good accommodation.
The speeches wero well received
by the negroes and will no
doubt help to keep up the good
feeliug that has always prevailed
between the two races here.
State Borrows More Money.
The State of South Carolina
yesterday effected arrangements
for the loan of $50,000 by the
Palmetto bank. This is a total of
$400,000 borrowed this year
Against $500,000 last year. It is
not likely that the State will bor
row any tnoie this year.?The

'1'bo Business Iniquitous.
A renowned Knglish reformer,
John Wo* Icy, lms aptly sided the
cuso as follows:
"We w>ay not sell anything
which tends to impair health.
Such iv, eminently, all that liquid
ure commonly culled drums or
spirituous liquors It is true
these may have u place in modi
cine; they may i>c of use in some
l>o;iil\ t?is >r.??rs, although tie ro
would ran-l^ Wo any occasion for '
them were it not for the uiissil |
fulness of the practitioner. Therefore,
such as prepare und sell only '
for this use may koep their conscience
clear. But all who sell j
them in the common way, to any
tluit will pay, sue poismicrs-gt u- '
oral. They do murder his Majesty's
subjects by wholesale,
neither docs their eye pity or
spare. They drive them to hell
like'^tj"^! And what is their
gain? Is of the blood of these
men? Who, ti.^n, would envy ^
them their estates and sumptuous
palaces? A etirso is in the mid-t
of them. The curse of God cleaves
to the stones, the timber, the furnituro
of them! The curse of
God is iu their garden, their
walks, their groves; a lire that
burns to the nethermost hell!
"Blood, blood is there! The
foundation, the tloor, the walla,
the roof, are stained with bio <1!
And canst thou hope, thou man ?f
I blood, though thou art 'cloth ;d in
scarlet and tine linen ami far ist
[sumptuously every day,' canst
thru hope to deliver down thy
fields of blood to the third genor?
