V . j < -i "Gratitude of Negro" t ???Comments of a Columbia Contemporary on Erection of Monument by Mt. Mo one oi the white race, the erection of this monument signifies much more and is ot deeper meanill!?. For one thing, it shows that the relationship between the two race> is more friendly than some would try to make us believe. But even better than tins, it shows that negroes are susceptible to kind and generous treatment, and that when so used they have a deep feeling ot gra'itude. The negro has often been represented as being ungrateful ior favors received. It may be true of some, but not of all, as this monument proves. The race as a race have warm Hearts, and anything like luir treatment on the part of the whites will be more than reciprocated. We have known black people with hearts of gold, and whom we were glad to number among our j friends. All negroes should not i / be judged bv a few. The major j ity of them are law abiding, iudus- ' trious. and contented. In the < main they are good citizens ; On the other hand, the monu^ inent placed by negroes to the 1 memory of Mr. Williams shows ] that he must have been both a kind and just man in all his 1 dealings with the colored race. He was, in a sense, their triend, I and they were his mends. Only a good man, who leit. tor the ( humblest, could have called iorth ( such a notable expression o! [ gratitude as was shown by the , negroes of Mt. Moriah church. H Hanged for Criminal As- * sault. t \ Asheville, N. C., Aug. 21.?

Williams. From the Columbia Record. That was a notable event that took place in Lancaster county on Thursday, and is deserving of more than a passing notice. it was the unveiling of a monument erected by negroes to the memory of a white man, James W. Williams, who donated to them land for a cemetery. The idea was suggested by J at vie Cunningham, a respected and prosperous colored tanner, and w as neartny endorsed by his fellO'V church members, all of whom cootrihuted liberally to the fund raised to carry ouf the plan. The monument, which stands on the cemetery !o!, i* of ^ blue Vermont inaibie, and presents a very imposing appearance. Suitable inscriptions, ex pressiva of the negroes' gratitude to their benefactor, have been placed on the monument. Aside from the fact that this is probably the first recorded instance where negroes have thus P lid tribute to thfl inwmnru r*f TJi? New Jersey Horror.
