C. | Wednesday, May 31, ... 1899 JTOKTOEX TO NORTHERNERS. It was lo iw expected that ? x-Governor Northen's tna^niSoen* >ptech in Boston woald receive a grext deal of attention from the pre? of the country?5 It woald bare been m ^st remarkable if the Northern pr88i, in uo instance; had not taken issue with him Be told bis Boston audience the trntb, and the trntb sometimes hurts. Some of the Northern people do not want to hear the trnth. and traa to the biatory of the world there will alwa\sbe tho=e who wi'l not believe the troth when they hear it. This speech h truly refreshing; to different in tone from many others delivered to Northern audiences. Tbe speaker had a ja>t right to speak as he did, because he as a private citizen and as Governor condemned lynching and did what he could to stop it. Mr. Northen starts oat with the truth and ends with the truth. He dote not mince wards to snit Northern ears- He begin* by assuring the assemblage that he "was put quite at ease, tor thw discussion, beciuse of a statement accompanying the invitation ' to the effect that the people at the East bad grown to believe that the people at the South knew more about thetf relations and daties to the negro than the East bad, heretofore, given mem credit for." He iu affect assumed that it was true that the Southern people knew mors about it. and then proceeded to tell some plain truths, which we of this section well^now to be absolutely trae. We can give orly a tew, and a brief summary at that, of some of the plain, tacts that the distinguished Georgian told his New England friends. He confessed that be was somewhat embarrassed in the discussion, "because of the violent denunciations of the South that hive appeared, from lime i to time, in the Northern press, of which your own city has famished a large part." How well tbi? fits some of the publications even since this speech was delivered in Boston. It took a bravo man to give as instances of misrepresentation the writings of Dr. ? Nehemiah Adams, Ida Wells, and even Harriet Beecher Stowe. Said Mr. Northen: "The Christian World (God sare the mark I) speaking of the --treatment of the negroes at the South m says: wumea auu tuumcu am whipped; in a nude state, by men in presence of men and boys. Of course, there is immorality. Children are born and grow up in prison. Some of the States make a regular thing of breeding people, just as in old slavery days. This is specially the case la Georgia, Florida and Texas." When such a lie as this Ji published, fend be ?ieved, it seems useless to try to disseminate the troth at the North. Id reading this statement, we bare been pnzsltd to know why Sooth Carolina was sot inclnded with Georgia, Florida aad Texai. "Miscegnation," Governor Nerthcn! said,-"by law will nerer take place in the Sonth. That may be accepted as an established faet and settled beyond question." Some Northern (people may be very much disappointed that it ift settled. bat we of the South know ? this ii true. Intermarriage at tbe North may take place and social equality may prevail, with that we are sot concerned. As Governor Northen says, we merely differ witb the North in taste. Possibly the boldest part of the ex-Governor's speech is that portion which refers to New England's part in the slave trade. From some of tbe newspaper comments these historical facts must have stung. He reminds Massachusetts that she built the first ship to carry on the slave trade. He quotes from the story of America by jaaoie: All the Northern State* abolished ? slavery, beginning with Vermont, in 1777, and ending with New Jersey, in 1804. It should be added, however, thai many of the Northern slave# were not freed, but sold to the South. The agricultural and commercial condi_ tions in the North were s^ch as to make slave labor leas and less profitable, while in the South the social order of things, agricultural conditions and the climate were gradaally making it seemingly indispensable. Economical conditions caused a gradual gravitation of the negroes toward the South, until, eventually, the people of the North were rid of 6uch a? they could dispose of at financial profit, while some others were set at liberty, in various ways, and remained noon the Mil of their original homes." Spewing of lynching, Governor Nerthen said that personally be was opposed to mob violence, bat be asserted that negroes were lynched at the South "for the tame reason they are lynched at ihe North. I repeat, with emphasis, that violence for crime is administered without distinction as to race, when the crime is thejsame. * * * Until Massachn Mtts, New York, Illinois, PenneylTani* and other Slates can control the wild fary of a cob, let as be done with denunciations of Georgia when she tails." Northern newspapers and polities have a great deal to do with onr troawes in the South. Speaking of this Governor Northen said. Yon need not ask me if I approve the horrible enactment that occurred within forty miles of my home a few weeks ago. God forbid that I should. -? ' **Do you condemn the bnrnings at tronerly as was condemned through the Northern press?" I answer emphatically?jast as strongly, "Then you approve the course taken by the Northern press in tfai matters of lynchf ings at the South?" Pardon me it. in , reply, I say that I condemn the course j of the Northern press upon lynchings ! at the South with ail the vehemence of an offanded nature. It is incendiary, unfair and cruel in the extreme. It it forgotten tkat the people of Massachusetts, themselves, barned a negro woman at the state, who naa been simply suspected, and not convicted, of poisoning a white man and his wife? We can't tell what is going to happen, even in the best regnlated families. Negro politics, in my judgment, as taught during reconstruction and continued to the present day, seeking to dominate the white people of the South, are responsible for most of the blood that has been spilt, the outrages that have been perpetrated, asd-the sorrows that have come to the whites and negroes of the South. The course of the Northern press is responsible for much of the remainder. The South is a white man's country, and it will never be delivered over to negroes, whatever tbe power and influence brought to bear to force this fearJul end. Tn Ma resent charsre to the jury, the Court sitting in Charleston, "S. C., to "try certain citizens charged with lynching a negro in that State, Judge Brawleytaid: "If it be true that this postmaster was an incompetent negro, a stranger and resident of another county, the .cemmunity that be was appointed to serve iiad grave and ju3t grounds of complaint, and tho39 who are responsible for bis appointment cannot escape the condeuinatian of fair-minned men everywhere for the P.. wrong done to toac community. luvviy lawfal effort of tbe yeople of Lake City to redress thei r grievance would baue bad the sympathy and support of all louers of order." How much did the appointmeat of a negro postmaster ever the protest of the people of Hoft'dnsvilJe, a town within the neighborhood of Sail Holt's residence, and tbe closing of the mail car8, to force tte white people to patronize the negro's postoffiie, have to do with tbe awful tragedies that have been enacted ia my State?

Why Austria and not the South? Why dominate the South with an apgointee who is "persona non grata," when Austria can get what she wants? Why dominateta a section whose people, as a section, are more thoroughly American than any other section of the continent; a section more devoted to American institutions than any other section as such, because ot its more American citizenship; a section that defends the American fag with as loyal hearts, as heroic daring and as yatriotic devotidn as ever choracterized a liberty-loving MA^An!)

A GREAT REUNION. Mr. Editor: To those of your readers ( wh> nrc not acqaaiuted with Charleston I will say that King sireet and Meeting street are the two main thoroughfares rannin? norih from the Battery or Battery Park throngh the entire length of ths city, while Broad street ii the priacipal one running at right angles across thsm from east to we3t, and is eo named, I suppose, because it its really the widest ol all. Now 'o begin wlure I left off in my last letter: After taking in the sights at Magnolia cemetery, we returned on the electric card down Meeting street to (hi electric railway car house, whire,hiving obtained transfer tickets, we changei cars and went eistward till near t!uC>opir River, and the i ra i eoiu&ward along in sight of the water foEist Biy street, then d>wn it pisi the U.

This was my first stop at old Fort Johnson. I had ofi-n pissed in sight of it but never lan ied there before. There is no fort there now, only the remains of what onci was. It is now used as a quaran- tb tine station, cr, technically, a mara- it tin? sanitation. Being somewhat of w an inquisitive tu.-n, [ occupied tbe w fifteaa ortwjity raiuitei we were e" allowed thjre in aikia^ questions as hi to tin modus opzraa li of ra'ci'jWe de? he atruc'ion, and leuuida little about th what I knaw n>thing ab mt before, hs For my inporaiition lam indebted to Dr. L?bby, who is uo;v and Ins been b< for about twj Uy y-urs in charge of th the3tatioa. Iti^a? follows: When a cl: - i * - u - ? I /\r vessel comes mo port ktjsu tj ue or suspected of bsiug infev.eJ, say with f<J smitlpos or ye'.bw fever, 9hi is taken P* to tbe station, Ush?.i to the pier and oi detained there uuiil she is considered 01 no longer infected; hie bidding and be the clothing of all on board are carried 01 into tli) sanitation building- and placed w on a large wood3n frame, I should cay 80 twenty feet long, which frame with ar its contents is then rolied endwise into re an enormous steam cylinder, say aDouc ou tpn feet in diame ter inside, the other w ot which is closed a 11 the time, the re rack and its contents being well into ^ the cylinder,^ large c=ip handled with al a crane* is then pat in position and W; screwed on with numerous iron bolts, t very much in the same way that ji cylender head i; fastened t) an 00 ordinary steam-engine, perfectly steam at tight; this large cylinder has flaes or in steam pipes rnnDing through it not an from end to end a? in an ordinary ea engine boiler, but round and round in co pairs, siy about every foot of 6pace, be these circular pipes communicate of ca course with a main steam pipe from 0f the engine bciler. When the prepara- i ] tion3 are all complete the steam is ga turned on; the whole inside of this joi huge cylinder is lieited to a degree so w< high that no germ can live in it. I re< forget just the limit, but it is all done ei< with dry steam, and yet the fabrics 15' are not in the least injured, and even djj a fresh laundried shirtfront would ab come out just as stiff and glossy as it mi went in. I-am not vouching for this t9] myself, but the doctor told me so and tki I am prepared to believe it. m< 1? 4.1? iU oo mucu iur me uisiuieuuug ui 1110 ap clothes and bedding.

This is the whole of operation iu a nut shell, and while ma science had to develop it, yet it is wt like all other scientific demonstrations, ] when understood it is just plain, prac- mc tical, common seme, and we wonder lea we had not known it before. Dr. poi Lebby told ma he was iu college sui with Maj. Woodward and Mr. G. H. gu McMaster. aw A ivord more about Fort Johnson wli (08 it was): Gen. Ellison Gapers (now mo Bishop) says in vol. 5, p. 15, Con- ed; federate Military History, just issued she from the press: <;The shell which goi opened the momeutous bombardment of Fort Sumter was fired from a the mortar located at Fort Johnson on thi James Island, at 4 30 on the morning off of the 12th" (April, 1861). On page wa 17, hs say?: "Tbe three mortars in afn battery at Fort Johnson were com- i0v manded by Capt. G. S. James."^ bac This Capt. James was the same Lf. Col. George S.

From the standstill at which everything here seems to hive been for the past year, the wheels of progress have again been set in motion, and the next ninety days will see many improvements in our little "town on the ridge." For the past few years the building now med as the high school has been an eva sore to the neonle and a dis ? r"*? ? grace to the place, and it "is with plea9wc see a handsome new school building commenced on "Ivy Hill." This is to be 70x30 feet with an 19 feet ceil* ing, and from this main building will be an ell 20 feet long by 25 wide. ? When completed this will give plenty . of room, and along with its location * will make it one of the vory beat in J the county. The Bank of Rhlgeway has decided i to build a handsome brick buildiDg to ] be used as an office. It will be two stories high and will be on the west side of Main street, one above Mc- * Eachern's atore. Following up the good move of tbe bank and school, tbe Masons have decided to tear down their lodge buildiBg and put in its place a larger one of "\ brick.
