C. 4 TVednesiay, November 29, 1898 ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOS SMALL TOWNS." Ths and Courier reports that 31r. J. P. Edwards, of Aogasfa, Ga., has ^one to Gaine-viile hi that State for th? purpose of "looking into the advisability of putting up 3n electric rght plant," and it may be that "VVinnsboro wou'd like to invile Mr. Edwards, who is said to be a practical electrician and a business man, to establish a plant hsre. Winnshoro needs more and better lights. The old time street lamps are entirely out of dale, a^d with the poor kerosene that is sold these days the present street lamps are wholly inadequate. The light in private houses i* tittle better; large Rochester lamps have to he used to obtain f-ufficient light to read comfortably iu doors, and the bill for the poor oil is wholly out of proportion to its real valne. "VVinnsboro has done very well in public 'enterprises during the past year or two, and we do not want to be nnderstood as croaking, but if what the News and Courier reports about Mr. Edwards is correct an electric lighting system is woith considering. Says the 2sews and Courier: t;He will pnt in the plajt, it is added, if he can get takers for five hundred lights. He is well pleased with Gainesville, and thinks that one thousand light? can be sold in a short time after the pknt is in operation, "but he must have five hundred subscribers in advance before be would feel justified making the investment." Continuing the News and Courier says: "We note the contents of the despatch for the sake of the suggestion they afford to many smaller towns and large villages ;in South Carolina, which are still served, in a wav, by, the liirht of other days, which, not to put too fine a point on the matter, are ive.'l behind their opportunities and privileges in respect to household illuminating facilities." According: to the News and Courier Gainesville had a population of less than 2,000 according to the last United Srates census. We do not know what i* the relative coet between kerosene light3 and electric light?, bat we have no dcnbt Mr. E-iward3 would be glal to give information on this point and other important points. How would it do for the Mayor of Winnsboro to write to Mr. Edwards on the subject? A CEEDIT TO HIS BACE. Ths colored people will do well to follow such sensible advice as that given bv men of tbeir race of the character of Kelley Miller and Brooker Washington. The former is from Winnsboro and is now professor of mathematics in Howard Univeisity at1 Washington. He is a credit to his race. He says: Is it not wisdom on the part of the n-gro to refrain from agitating those issnes which inflame the raind of the white race against him and retard his progress along mora!, mental and material lines? fhe negro shoald generally accept self-effacement as a controlling political factor, even in those communities where his numerical pre pouderance confers upon diui toe abstract right. To state the truth mildly, the negro is not. vet qualified to exercise political control in State, town or county, according to the staudards of western civilization. A knowledge of this truth on toe part of the colored ' race is essential to its true development along those substantial lines which count for progress. Wherever the negro has attempted to control the political machine, the rtsult has always redounded to his detriment. The reconstruction regime in the south worked lastirg injury to the colored race. The minds of the yoang were vitiated by looking with admiration upon corruption in high places. Animosities were engendered which will embarrass the progress of the race for generations to come. The alleged quadrennial trade in negro delegates the Republican nominating conventions is the standing disgrace of our national politics. In retiring from ?he active field of politics and directing the energy which has hitherto been dissipated into productive channels, and striving to build up the people in moral, men;al and material directions, tue negro win not oniy do moving along the line of least resistance, bat of greatest usefulness also. A great many of the prominent old time abolitionists of the North now admit the great blunder of allowing the negro to vote, and intelligent n?groe* lifee Kelly Miller see it. If hl< race shall follow hi.* wise advice given iu ;h3 above clipping, it will be the happier for having done so. We hive seeu few thirigs of the many written on the race problem as able and as full of wisdom and bredth of thought as what Kelly Miller says in this extract. The New York Journal sent out this question to be answered by Governors ot States and Congressmen: "fn view of the recent race riots in jwrtb and South Carolina, wbat, 'n your judgment, is the solution of toe r-v*e problem in the South? Is it eduction or a matter of legislation?'' Governor Johnson, of Alabama, rep i*d: "When the Federal Governnr-ni ceases to select the South as the p cuiiai- and exclusive field tor lhe a pointraent of r.egro officials and refrains from intermeddling in our "" <1 mesdc affairs, and the people of tf.e North shill corns to the conclusion that we are entirely capafe e of legisia'ing for ourselves, aud desire only their gympMiiy and assistance in making better citizens of negroes, we shall have little difficulty in solving the race problem." DISOBDEStYisOtDIERS. Hard a- ?-i div passes that tome shocking disorder is ; <> imported fr m some one of the uriii'aty cnmps iu tfcd South. It is a disgrace to (be government, and a stop should be made to u, for instead of an improvement the disorders are becoming more frcqueat. It is now very doubtful whether the cities which have camps are to b* congratulated after all. Soldiers distribute h great deal of aouer, bu*. !>ome thing-? are worth { - ? more than money. A few da> sago a negro lieutenant at Chattanooga went oat of his way to order two white volunteer soldiers to salute him. 'Clothed with a little authority, he wanted ?<> hnmiliate the whi e me". One of the white soldiers declined to salute him. The lieutenant and one of his own private< proceeded to kick and beat the white solaier, who refused to salute the palfed lientenauf. The new* spread and a crowd < f whites were after ih? arrogant lieatenaut, bin be made good hi* flight. I On the samo day, colored troops at Macon became disorderly. It see-ns toat tiicre is a tree near their c&utp, on which a negro was hanged several years ago for having-assaulted a white woman. They fired ioto the tree several hundred rounds of cartridges, and wheu the owDer of the land remonstrated, they shouted, "Burn ; him," and he had to flee for his life. Tne soldiers then went to a neighborj ing park, and raised a great deal of noise; so much so that the park Keeper, attempted to bring them to order. Tney took his pistol and threatened to kill him. These colored trosps will soon learn toat; tan uxue uuu n uj win uvi j them if they shall persist in such conduct. The oouth does not to:crate such conduct. They are playing a dangerous game. It is worth noting that ibis same regiment was afterwards brought to order, and pat under arrest by a South Caroliuia-, Col. Gaillard. Bat it is not only the colored soldier who is disgracing the uniform. The reports from some of the white camps are almost as bad, and in some instances much worse. These soldiers might as well be made to understand that law aad order will be maintained, and no uniform or rauk will save criminal* from tbe iasl punishment of | the law. rne muraer 01 an eigui?year-old boy by a grown man is an 'unusual crime in South Carolina, and whatever may be o*r faults, South Caroiiuians will suffer no such barbarity in their State. It is frequently reported that soldiers are disrespectful to women. This is one thing that the S< uth positively wiil not stand. Ii will tolerate some things, but it ha? alwa\s demanded 'hat women shall be respected, and they will require it even if force is necessary. In a brief review of Gen. Wheeler's history of 'The Santiago Campaign,' which it f-avs is 'little more than a compilation of official despatches' * * united by a running commentary in Gen. Wheeler's well known view of cheerfa! optimism, the New York Evening Post declares thst the volume 'makes him out a delightiul combination of Mark Tapley and preux chevalier. He has but one regret to express, personally, and that i* that be was reported ill. To ba sure he had a nasty fever, and he bad to take a lot of medicine and give u.> tree climbing and riding in the tun; I uf he did not go off duty two hour.-, and just enjoyed hearing Mausers wh z and digging trecehes all night. Tbe d?spa'.ches he publishes show in what a state of | daze the commanding general found i himself 011 Jnlv 2 and 3: bat there is no doubt about Gen. Wheeler. He i wa? the frpryeM;, readiest, cheeriest | youth of 61 in the whole army.' When you come to think - of it, noj body has a better right to be plea?ed | with thecampaigu and hJj -hare in it than Fighting Joe. On i '.count I let's forgive his optimism.?'i ..e Colombia State. Yes, we think so too. If there had been more youths like Wheeler in command an investigating commission would not have been heard of. These old Confederates have a way of condoning a multitude of sins in their comraues m arms, simpiy oecause toey "were in ihe war together." They cau't he p it; it is their weakness. We nm* call it optimism or charity, and forgire it. This is a "pan" from the News and Courier, but it is fall of sense: ''The children in many of the pablic schools voted ]a-t week on the question of adopting a "State flower," and the magnolia appears to have been the leading favorite. The very best flow- j erfor Sooth Carolina jast now, however, is the wheat flour, and it is to be hoped that all of the farmers will adopt it, and work for ir." ????? The Kidney Complexion. The pale, sallow, sanken-cooeked, distress-looking people von so often meet are afflicted with f,Kidtiey Com plexion. Their kidneys are turning to 8 parsnip color. So is their complexion. They may also have indigestion, or suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain ^rouble, nervous exhaustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. Tne cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys. Usually the sufferer from kidney disease does not find out what the trouble is until it is almost too late, because the first symptoms are s> like mild sLtiness that they do not think they need o medicine or a doctor until they find themselves pick in beed.

Mr. Editor: I have just read a piece in the Atlanta Constitution in reference to Thanksgiving Dav. It was wiirfen hv a correspondent who signs his Mime "A- C^K.,'' and I fhink it contain* some sentiments thst should nis-K f!ie approval of our people. I thin'< ev^ry! odv should familiarize themselves with tho real meaning of the day. I irust there are none whose concept! :u of the occ >sion is so vague ^ \ ? I K M *3 was trie 1UV. donil UUICV ? iuca coni-emiug Christmas. Previous to ih? vrar. Rev. Juhn Qnler spent Chrisucas eve night with Jonathan D. Coleiuan, of the FeasterviJIe coralounity. On Christmas morning Mr. Coleman remarked to the parson, Well, John, this is Christmas, and are yon g'?ing to preach to-day or not? You arc a preacher and a S >rt of a leader, can j ou tell me the meaning ol Christina??" Thi parson replied: "Ye?, General. It is the end of the yoar and everybody is ghd tha^ they have had good health, have lived ttroush another, made good crops and are pr.jRperou-;, and I think thev should remrn thank* to God.'' That i? all right and proper. I am not criticising the spirit thut actuated the expression. I only mention it to show what rapid strides of progress we have made in the intellectual arena. I only wish that the spirit of universal good will and brotherly 1 ?"?r? n o ! IOTH 1138 Kepi/ JJauc miu iiibgiiwuiai progress. I am sometimes constrained to believe that it is goodness that ibe world most needs. Do not undergrand me to intimate that th? minds of our people should not be cultivated. 1 believe that every man should strive to attain that high standard of spiritual and ik!ellec:ual attainment sufficient to b? a worthy example for those who follow in onr footsteps. Col. R>bt. G. Ingersol <-ays if there is auything that makes n man happy it is to do something to make others happy, and that true love is the only thing that pa\s ten per cent to both borrower and lender. Yes, we i-honld ' thank fnr- tho hlfecinorfi i hat. wft are now er joying. VVe should be thankful tbat we are made in Thy image and indowed with reasouii.g facutics sufficient to exercise proper discretion between rigkt and wron*. We should thauk him because we are indebted to him for every good and perfect, thought. Mr. Editor, when I begin to think about the obligations we owe onr general jfOTernment for that so often promised prosperity, I am reminded of what tbe young u,ati requested his friend td tell his be6t girl, 'SJust te'l ber that yon saw me~" So it is in regard to returning thanks to Mr. 1 A.. > ' /VI 1 Utm U A f t?A?1 O n TTT JdfIYC<l.e} , JUSl icil Jliut luai jvti can as; we are alive and that's all; he'll know the rest. If the scarcity of money and the consequent low price of farm prodQcU i* a blessing, :hen we should thank those in high official stations at Washington. If it is not a blessing, i i hen they should be held strictly accountable. If the appointment, of ne^ro postmasters is a ble3sing, then he would come in for a little praise. Some gives him great praise for appointing Gens. Lee, Wheeler and Batler. Thai was all right. He knew he was getting <rood men; men who had ueen tried and not found wanting. He kuew the plack of the Southern soldier, and by appointing those famous men ths Southern soldiers wonW volunteer more readily. The trnth about the matter is the capitalists of this country did all they could to avert war after they saw war was inevitable They whooped the bo>s up all along the line iu order that the Republican administration miirbt eoaduct the war successfully, and thereby strengthen their party in the recent elections. They have accomplished their desires, and the electien of a Republican Congress will make the election of a Democratic President and a Democratic Congress almost an assured factj-two years hence. Some may wonder why, for this reason, the Republican President, vith a congress and a judiciary largely in sympathy with the plntocrats aud monopolies, will not have any excuse for not fulfilling their promises. If we bad electe i a Democratic house, any failure to fulfill their pledges and put the people oact again m me pain iaai osdff to;tlie high road of prosperity woni.l hare been attributed to the Democratic Congress. Thus you see the p esent condition of dFairs is not any* discouragement to the Democratic partv because the Republicans will not have any bushels under which to bide, they will have to face tte music and fight in open battle and give an account of ,their stewardship. Yes, I thank God lor that. I've got no confidence in anv party or set of men that can't come out and take a bold ctand for the principles that will iu?nre prosperity to all the people. Pardon me for writing so much along this line of thought, I like to siudy thu political condition:* of our ccmntrv. it affords an imoortant theme ol* though:. W. J.

Governor Commutes His Sentence Effective That Day. The Slate November 24. A petition, signed bv about 2,000 people, fcas secured for J. W. Powell, the slayer ot 0. W. Sloan,, a commutation of sentence, and on Christmas day be will walk out of the State penitentiary a free man?without having *ervedqniie three of his seven years' term. The ground for pardoning are based wholly on petitions. The family and friends, of the condemned man secured signatures to a petition to the governor asking for his release. Five cnrth na(itifln? trorfl Drift was signed by not only a pumber of ministers from this city but trom other parts of the State. A second petition was circulated among the lawyers, and their signatures obtained;' still a third was signed by physicians of the city, and a fourth by ladies of Columbia, while the fifth was signed by citizens generally, without any distinction as regards profession. Nine of the jurors who found Powell guilty asked for his release. HISTORY OF THE CASE. It was the latter part of January or the fust of February, 1896, that Powell early one morning went to see C. W. Sloan about an insulting - remark which the latter was alleged to have made to the former's sons on the previous night. Bad feelings had existed Detween tne men iur suuie time, and a climax was reached when Powell 6aw Sloan. More or less wag said, and then PowslI shot SJoan to daath. The case came to trial at tbe April term of court. Judge Aldricb was on the bench, and the best legal talent in the city was employed on both sides. Jctdge Andrew Crawford, Mr. C. A. Douglass of Washington rdc! air. Scott Douglass of this city represented the defense. Tbe prosecution employed Mr. P. II. Neifon to ! assist the Stale's attorney.

This woman "set the andienee wild" when she said: "I am only here to-night to represent womanhood. Now W3 ail know that the white women and girl* of the couth arc full of coiorcd blood" At this a wild uproar ensued. The colored men and women jumped up in -the aisles (o cherr. Many laughed and gave vent to hysterical exclamations. Others mounted their seats and waiced their hats. Jlrs. Grannis added "that in her opinion the churches should by in sackcloth and asnes over the effects of the race war in the Southern Spates." Dr. Parkhurst sent a letter of profound sympathy with the meettng. O'her letters were received from Banjamin B. Odell, Jr., (candidate for United States Senator, as I am informed), Judge William Olcott and E. M. Grant, president of Brooklyn buiough. to similar effect. The colored ci'izens' meeting was called to protest against attacks on lluir race in the Carolinra, and it was left to a white woman of the North to ris^i on this platform **nd utter a con Mmacbns falsehood to arouse tne negroes to :he height of demoniac^ fury. TDis woman knew she was telling a wilful and venomous untruth. She was i here to play on the basest passions of that ignorant audience. St!*-, indirectly excused the crime that pit cedes lynching in the South, on the plfcHthat "whit'.; women and girls in the South ?re full of colored blood." The New York Journal llitly calls her a "iiar." She aimed to rouse violent impulse* iu the minds of the ignoran', and wearing a white skiu her.-clf, bhe was rcaclv to send h?r own race down to degradation to avvakon the vi.'est revenue and violence in the minds of the black men mi'S women in inat audience t>wards ' - - r a 1. ^ a. f . ipti wniie women oi uiy ouum. i> would appear fruru her presr-?ce hi such a time and place that she han, been outlawed from her own race (f->r sume renfeon jet unexplained), and took the "pponunity afforded her in a i?o?ro ass? mb)v to expose ihe exrc'ding li:th and falsehood of her own menial and mora! anatomy.

It is more than likely thut these politicians and race disturbers did not kuow that Mr* Grarmis would be there in the unblushing nudity of her mind and manners, and they are probably congratulating themselves that they us<-d a postage stamp to communicate with colored citizens' meeting rather than to risk a handshake and encore for the Giannis woman when she everlastingly defiled her name a-;d family by I r?i?a. ?v>rr .rr 1> n t chr L-novrr tr> fnlifi. and used tils lie for so base a purpose.
