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.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot will build
up and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purif7 r.heir diseased,

Mr. Editor: I have just read a piece

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

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

J.
W. POWELL WILL BE FREE CHRISTMAS.
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. Mr. Thurj
raond was solicitor, but was debarred
J from serving, as he was himselt then
j under indictment for the same offense
j jfs Mr. Powell. In his stead was Mr.
J no P. Thomas, Jr. This was one of
j the &trouge?t array of legal counsel
lever employed on a criminal case in
J Co'umbia. The trial lasted several
' days, and every point was fought
j with a terrible tenacity. The case
j was finally given to the jam, and after
being out all night it reported pooh

To the Editor: A friend has pent
me a clipping from the New York
Herald, of I.-xiu date* in which appears
the report of an address mad* by Mrs
Elizabeth Granni?, of New York city,
during a colored citizens' meeting in
Cooper Union, which took place one
nisht of last week. 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

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.
Thtt colorod citizens oi' New York
aie welcome 10 her, and the white
womeu ot that city are well rid Oi her.
Water seeks , iu level and Mrs. Eliz*beihGrannis
has turned up in such
company as she should be obliged to
stay in, for the relief of the community
at large.
She would not be tolerated in a colored
citizens' meeting in Georgia,
with >ncb ?i base 1'alsehood on her lips,
and to >i r.nnsel as that given
by Mrs. 'orivu.iiis uoes the negro owe

It is discovered also, ranch to :uy
surprise, that such men as those mentioned
intbe Herald's, report, namely,
Oedil, Parkhurst, Grantt and Wolcott,
are herding with a flock that t-hould
a'l wear the same badge of notorize* ,
without regard to sex or color. 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

and used tils lie for so base a purpose.
It iii just t-uch persons in oar jtfonfcern
cburebe- who are "troublers in Israel."
If she cannot be promptly dismissed
from acS"c:ation with white people in
anv other way, charges shouid be preferred
before courts of jastice.arraignmg
her as * a common falsifier and
dangerous to the public "eace. Perhaps
she obtained al six sought for
in the public meeting, and I ask \ou
10 pass her around ill Southern newspapers,
that she may obtain a little
more, of this notorious advertising.
