"jL Study in Black and 5 White." ' t The Friendly Relations be- 1 'tween 'White and Colored ( People in the South not' * Understood by Northern * Press?The Monuments Erected in Lancaster and ] Elsewhere. (From the News and Courier.) { We 80irietirr.es (ear thai our Northern judges do not quite ap- t preciate the friendly relations ' exi^tinn b jtiveen the better white ^ and colored people in the South. They never lose the opportunity v of exaggerating the race outrages that are committed in this part | of the country. They d^licht to ( dwell upou our deeds ot violence and bloodsh.ed. They invariably \ speak with a "holier-than-thou" enthusiasm of the iaclc of South- r civilization, and in the.rzeel c 2VT* 1 1. ?-? ; yvi ?iv i ui jiu nation-* { they ure utterly oblivious of the a good neighborhood generally oh j, taining between (he whiles and ) blacks in tlie South. c Ou Thursday, August 15, there was a mogt impressive service in j 1 the little cemetery at Lancaster, ? S. O., in which the colored dead i are buried. It centered about c the unveiling; ol a monument j erected by the members of Mount i Moriah Church, a colored Meth- > odist organiz ition, in memory oi h the la<e James W. Williams, a s prominent, white farmer of that 1 county, who deeded the land now e composing the cemetery to this Church. The monument is built t of Vermont, marbe, is six feet, c eight inch s in height, and con- s tains among oilier inscriptions v the following : c 4 On motion of Jarvis Cunning- ! liarn this monument was erected j ? by the members ot Mount Moriah v Church in 1907 to the memory a ot Mr. damns W Williumo ! ? . T? II liiiuuir. Ill r appreciation of the gift to the Church by him and his family o! this plat of ground for the cemetery." The ceremonies attending the unveiling were, as we have noted, of a very impressive character, and the veil covering the monu- j inent was drawn aside by two small colored girls. Mr. Will- ( iaras, the man so honored by his colored fellow citizens, was a 11 Confederate soldier in Butler's c Brigade during the War for i v Southern Independence lie was a slaveholder, always kind and humane to his people, and after: their emancipation ever treated j * them with the greatest fairness j and justice. It was their desire, j and the desire of those who knew ^ the generous friendship of this most worthy gentleman, to build a monument that would perpetuate his memory for all time. I c Some years ago, it will be remembered, Bishop Isom C. Clinion, an eminent man of his race, erected a handsome monument at the grave ol his (ornier master, t Irvin Clinton, a leading member j of the Lancaster Bar, and a kind " II maQier# j* o The generous impulse which . prompted th~ erection of these i monuments v as most creditable j to the colored people, but monn- v meats have uLo been bnilded in tliis State by white men in honor A o of the lowly people who dwell ti amongst them.

It was erected by the vhile pe >|>le of Sumter, and ip ?n it is engraved i his inscripion : "Joe Levan, tne village bar>er. Born 1830. Died December 8, 1905.

We wish that the New York Evening Post, and others of our i Northern cootnnporaries, which ndulgo in academic discussions if the race ques'ion, could ?p>reciato the true relation exislng between the races in the South.
