"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

J
riah Church to Memory
of Late J. "W. 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
