' On this subject the St. James c Gazette says : I The truth is that America 1 ought to abroga'e that part of i the constitution which relates to L the black population, be prepar- j ed to treat it as a distinct race on a lower scale of evolution, s and deal with it in a special ^ way. d This does not signify segrega- v tion, hut it does mean, in a sense, [ separation?the separation that involves the relation ol master and servant., and class and class, and implies a certain amount ot 1 association. e Neither does it signify injus- j tice ; the denial of racial and social equality is not a denial of equity. Their treatment must be absolutely just and kind * * For a long time they will have to be treated, net as citizens of <. a republican state, but as subjects. J Many thoughtful Republicans now admit that their party made) a mistake whan it placed thej^ ballot in the hands of the negro before he was ready lor it, hut at this late day they are not likely to look with favor on the suggestion ot The (iazette. ^ ' I 1 Other Lnglish papers express surprise at the talk in this cnun- 11 try of "taking over" Cuba, when! '' by such action tlie United Slates 8 would be increasing instead of j P diminishing its race troubles. 1 - > WHY ONE OCCASIONALLY GOES r FROM LANCASTER TO ROCK HILL. r T ; I Our esteemed contemporary,!, the Hock Hill Record, is getting n real frisky and venturesome since the street sprinkler season is about over. During the hot I summer months the Record is to 11 absorbed in the contemplation of ( Rock Hill's leading attraction?jfl the street sprinkler in action? ^ that it becomes oblivious to all else, apparently. Now that the s sprinkler has gone into winter tl quarters, we are pleased to ob c servo that our contemporary isjtl it-ting up and taking notice theranu better things. Our friend, for example, 1? ug seen in The News that ] . E. Honeycut had moved lr rvncaster to Rock Hill, is mo c> exclaim,"Here's another 1 itizen !" And then adds," 'anted to get into a live tow 'lie ether day when The N la led that Mr. Geo. Cowan 1 emoved to R >ck Hill, the rd innocently asked it Lrun or was too slow lor him. No, esteemed but unsophi ated contemporary, while re not in I he confidence of eit entleman, we do not beli hat Mr. Honevcut left her nd a "live town" or that Jowan went hack to Rock ] ecause Lancaster wasn't tioush for him. It is more lil hat they found life in Lanca ltogether too strenuous hem, and wanting to get ood quiet place to rest and ? ff, they naturally went to K lill, just as did our former ow citizen Col. Mcllwain, ' ifter standing for some years ierce activities of Lancaster inally realized that lie was ng both his breatli and Lis 1 ?so he moved to Rock Hill >rder t<> catch a fresh hole he former and to give the la m opportunity to grow igain. So far as Mr. Cowau isconci 'd, we knew when he came < lore a year or so ago tha ouldn't hold out very lonj lis rotundity, you know, i he Grover Cleveland brand, s therefore unsuiled tothe&ti losity of Lancaster. It ta loek Ilillians like Lewis 11a on, Bill Williams and Tom 1 ie?men ol the loug, keen, s ler-slatled variety?to keep rith the swift, rapully-nio\ juncasler procession.
