Discusses Fat Editor Intelligencer: While I think tr . much has already been asid about the Fair Play 'Taco riot," both in a newe way and editor ially, tho public Bcbould know what ls really back of nil this trouble, espec ially tho editor of Tho Intollgcncer, Who editorially calla for light. The white gentlemen connected with the affair naturally do not want to discuss publicly the trouble, for they do not know what is in store for them, For this reason, I will, with your permis sion, call attention to a few facts that I hare not yet seen in print. . In the stormy days of 1876, the white people of this section of the State es pecially, had much. trouble with ne gro "leaders", backed by coon-loving white (?v men from the North. Among these "leaders" was one Bill Parker, kjfckyUhetoded, tlilek-1 ipped odorifer ous African? In that memorable cam pa i of '76,' the white1 men were forc ed o "divide time" at political gath er .ogs with., negro speakers, among them being Bill Parker. At several of the meetings clashes- were narrowly averted by the cooler white men, but at the Pendleton meeting, which 1s not a great distance from Fair Play, Bill Parker became so insulting that the late Edward B. Murray could stand lt no lodger and he promptly kicked , Parker from, the platform. This informa?loo we found in the old Slea of the Anderson Intelligencer and have often heard discussed by white men who participated in that cam paign and will be .confirmed by such gallant old veterans' as Col. J. C. Strlbbllng, of Pendleton. Judge D. H. Russell- of the Anderson recorder's court apd other honorable men.

C., belton, S.e. r Play f illiogs amiss to state, i^u very shrewd ne gro, has stnru HHK?P the Fair Play section his home arfd is said to own considerable properer. During all these years Parker has devoted much time to stirring up trouble between tho races and ill-advising ass race. He is still living mid wo are. informed by honorable . white men of that section that the recent trouble was the result of Parker's teachings. One of Park er's lieutenants, Oreen Gibson, who together with two of his sons, was among those put out of Gie. way in the recent trouble. Gibson has long been a terror in the Fair'Play section is the report of' white men of that sec-, tion. At different times he is said to lia ve run out of that section , throe white families. It was Green Gibson, with the assistance of his two sons, ? who interfered with the whipping of ; Tom Spigbt and who later from am bush fired on the white men, result ing in the injury of four of them, and later resulting in their own deaths. .Tim Spights, the negro they were at I temping to rescue, was a dangrous {negro. He had frequently been in trou ! ble and only a ' few months ago at ! tempted to shoot the deputy sheriff ot ' Anderson county and would have done so but for that officer's quickness .in drawing bis own pisttol. Before going to Fair Play some months ago, Spight lived -Kt Belton, ??.nd we are told by BSt . ton's mayor and other honorable citi zens of that town, that Spight waa (considered e. dangerous negro. It was for some crime be bad committed at Belton that he . waa paid out by Mr. ' Woodrow Campbell and carried ta Fair Play and it was for attempting to s.et I . fire to Mr. Campbell's barn that ha was whipped. This is Gie kind of negro j that "Lieut." Green Gibson would rea. j cuo and for which he and his sons j forfeited their lives for their trouble. ] So much for the main facts in the1 recent "race w&r", I will go back to the cause: Now that Green Gibson, and two of hts scholars - (his sons) ? have been put ont of the way, the white people of that section should, see to. it that the other ''leaders" dis- ] continue their practice of giving bad] advice to their own race, and If there are any whites T?ho would "commune" with the blacks, advise them that Gie farther North they go, the healthier the climate. When I find a white mah that admits that he la no better than a negro, I simply take his word for lt, and feel sorry for Gie coon. Throughout all the south you find that tho very best white element treats the negro well-not as an equal, but as a negro. The negro In the South thoroughly understands this and ex " neets nothing else. But tho negro race Lia cursed with a large per cent' ot ?irthlesfi, Indolent and vicious moni te and it ls this element that produc ed all the friction between the races. Eliminate the negro-loving whites and tho vicious blacks and thc race'prob lem would be settled. I merely men tion this proposition as a fact, but at the same time realise that it will nev er pe accomplished.- Therefore, pres ent conditions are aolng to remain un til it ls Anally settled-which lt will be, by one of the three methods-separa tion, extermination or amalgamation. ! The first la possible. The second, probable. The 'last, unimaginable by a- white mas, ?????? he baa fallen far below the level of Ute meanest of. bis race, i That the solution of the problem is rapidly drawing near, I firmly believe.

Taylor NBWYO**, United States, the tension is drawn ap parently to the limit, occasioned "byf tho constantly increasing assaults, up on white women by negro brutes. Just bow long American manhood wilt stand for it will mark the time for the anticipated time for the trou bl?e-and when lt once gets started, lt Will roll from the Lakes to the Rio Grande, frc?u the Atlantic to the Paci fic. Almost any nation will long endure even murderous assaults upon Its male members, but when an inferior and vicious race of people (living with a/ more powerful nation) begin the sys tematic raping and murdering of the women and'girls of the superior race, thero 'n bound to be a reckoning-| and a severe one. To my mind, the patience of the Southern people up to dute IB a mat ter of the most utmost astonishment, Another thing adding to the serious-' ness of the situation is the action'ot a certain class' of all CK-tl white men and women lu widely nattered dis tricts. For some unaccountable rea son. Loa -Angeles, California, seems coon-crazy. Men and women claiming to be white, think much more of a btg buck corn-field nigger than they do ot a white man. It must be tho smell. In order to give the readers of The Intelligencer some idea of conditions in that city, I reproduce two recent dispatches sent out to the news papers. Hero ls tho first one, dated March 3: "Convicted of robbery for having stolen a kiss from n white girl, chas. IL Guyton, a young negro, was sen tenced today to thirty years in Folsom prison hy Judge Willis of the criminal department of the superior court.. The charge on which tho negro was tried, alleged that he held up Miss Daisy Stagwell and relieved her of a dime alt the money she possessed. Then he compelled her, under threats of death, to klRH him, after which he gave her ten cents back. Guyton was alleged to have aubected six other white girls to similar treatment. When he plead ed for probat ion. today for the sake ?if his wife and children. Jud^e Willis cut him short with the declaration that such a man was too dangerous to bo allowed 'nt large." That sounds quito natural, but if it had been in South Carolina or Ander son county, the officers would have had to hide their prisoner out. or some ono would, have "cleaned his plow" before he ever got to jail. But,listen! hold your breath-and also your noins: .LOB Angeles, March 4.-Protests,! threats of recall and denunciation* poured in today upon Judge Willis of the criminal department ot the super ior court because of lils action yes terday in sentencing to thirty years imprisonment. Charles Ii. Guyton, a young negro convicted of highway robbery, though hts only loot was a white girl's kiss. Deputations of white women visited the Judge today to de mand that action be taken to ' Bave Guyton ironi such severe punishment. Telephone messages Informed that' petitions were being prepared for his recall. Other white women called In person to say that steps would be taken to procure a pardon from the governor. Judge Willis explained thal the negro had been convicted of high way robbery. He had taken a dime from the-white girl, although be gave It back aftetr he had. kissed her, and he bad aubected six other white girls to similar treatment, besides criminal ly attacking two negro girls. One de putation of white women visited the district attorney to learn what proce dure wss necessary to impeach the judge or otherwise remove him from office." What kind ot class of white women were they -who went in crowds to Judge Willis beseeching and threaten ing him for giving the limit to this miserable lecherous African who went over the city giving foulest insults to decent young girls? It it possible that this hlsck Romeo is the only coon in LOB Angeles, and that white women are banging round on the cor ners walting to bo insulted by this sweet-scented s.-Ion of Senegamblon ancestry? Are riggers so rare In Los Angeles that their white admirers cannot afford, to lose one to the peni tentiary for 30 minutes, much lee* 30 years. If so, somo enterprising South Carolinian ought) to round Kp a cat tle car loed of good healthy young bucks and skin out for. Los Angeles. He'd make money. Honest to God! If I lived In a city whore such things oc curred, I'd move out if I had to walk. Somehow or 'other, after reading those dispatches, I have a kinder feeling to wards the McNamara* and Ortie Mc Manigal. . In closing, I simply wish to state that my sympathies are with the white people of the Fair Play section. . Respectfully, VICTOR B. CHESHIRE.

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-More than at any Unie aluce the renewal of bus iness ou the stock exchange, today's market was governed by conditions growing out of the war. The admin istration's protest to England ugalnst detention of American mariue com merce caused an abrupt halt in the advance in pr?tes which was in full swing at the previous day's close. Wall Street viewed the subject from various angles and the general opin ion seemed to be that a new and significant development had been in jected Into the international situation. ..The'market opened with its accus tomed Irregularity, leading stocks ovincing heaviness, with a few gains among unimportant iBsues. From that level a rally ensued, the recovery in a few instances restoring stocks to the preceding day's best, liefere mid day the Hst fell back again and for the balance of the session no impor tant changes were rectjrdcd. Dealings showed a marked decrease com par? d with recent full sessions. Another decline in exchapgo on London to the lowest price in almost I? months gave rise to some discus sion of gold imports. Bankers wore unanimous in declaring that this mar ket can not hope to get gold from Loudon, but a return of some of the old gold shipped to Ottawa in the ear ly stages of the war ls within the range of probability. Time money was limitably unchanged.

'Reports of freer spot offerings from eastern sections of Ute belt, and some scattered .selling for Southern account made the market rather nervous and unsettled during Ute early afternoon, when active months worked some to 8 points under the closing figures of last njgltf.

GET TOGETHER FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROBLEMS TO BE DIS CUSSED NORTH AND SOUTH The Two Americas to Meet in Great Conference That W?1 Pay. WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-Th? Unit ed States has invited nil Central aud South American nutions to send their ministers ot linauco and leading hankers to Washington for a confer enco with treasury department ofll cla?8 and financiers of this country on financia' and rOWtSercial problems < (inf root hu; the t wo Americas as' a j result of tho European war Several , of Gie countries ulready have accept- j ed and the conference probably will bo held carly in tho spring. Invitations wore sent fo/mally through tho erphaaaies and legations here. The plan originated with Secre tary McAdoo, but Secretary Hryan and President Wilson have taken an act ivo interest iii it. The visitors will come as tho guests of thc United States. Officials of the' slate, treasury and commerce departments expect tho conference to prove an important step toward bringing the two American continents into closer relationship. They believe thal In tin? I'an-Alltcri can movement lies the hope <?r South America for financial independence of Europe, and suggest the possibility of New Vork becoming at least a ser ious competitor with London for su premacy as a world's financial center. It has long Wen recognized that thu crux of the difficulties in the way of commerce between the United States and other American nations lay In the question of credits. South and t'entrai *merican buyers have been accustom- ! to seek and eu'slly obtain long term . i.ts in Europe. present bankers of thc United st. .do practically no business di rect with South America and foreign exchange with countries there ls car ried on through London. Largely to Gils has been attributed the compara tively "mall amount of trade between the United States and her next-door neigh? ors to the south. When the war brok? out. South America suffered a severe shock to ber International business system. Recent ly one of the largest North American banks established branches in Rio J.merl o and Buenor Aires with the approval of the f?deral reserve board. ?Others, are' expected to follow.. Never-j thclcss there bas been no great stlmu- j lus to trade and no well defined move ment to make direct banking opera tions possible. Officials expect to see an inter cnange of views al the forthcoming conference that will lead to establish ment cf many con weet ion ? between houses in the United ^ates and those in the principal South Amer icm coun tries. Those f?mallar with financial I conditions declare that money ls es pecially easy In this country and that there are millions of dollars lying idle l which might well be invested south of the equator. Tho experience of Secretary Mc Adoo with Sir George Paish, oralie ?Engllah treasury, is said to havo in spired the. plan for. th? conference. Problems which had puttied tho bankers of England and thc United States were smoothed out.here In n few weeks as a result of Slr George's ?visit. Detailed arrangements for the con ference have put brea taken up. but it probably will be held at the Pan American Union building. Tho ses sions are expected to continuo for at j least a week.
