4<The Labor Question in Sonth Caro* |
Una."
Various of onrcxrb?n<te? have rocntly had |
Fmiethlnp to say ai>out "Labor" In South Cur-1
?>llna. And. In our opinion, the only dema-1
..nnlonl TVrtrl/ r\f tl,n IdfiF COCeIAH nf nill* I.Pl'lK
lnture wnsa futile attempt to control "labor"
under the uuiseof punishing negroes for vloIfitIon
of contract to work on the (arms.
This week we reprint an article on the "Labor"
subject from a late issue of the Charleston
ycus and Courier. Among other matters contained
therein Is a repetition of the ns-<cr-i
tinn about the superabundance of colored clt?-??"
Jzens In South Carolina, alleged to have bc?-n
made by the Hon. M. C. Butler, who represents
us in the United States Senate. In tne
first place, we do not believe that the Honorable
Senator ever uttered so foolish and abmrd
an expression; and.In thosecond place,
if he did express the opinion imputed to him
It Is perfectly certain that he could not tind in
all south Carolina "a baker's dozen" of practical
men with common sense whom he could |
lead into such a fa'lacy. VOth thousands of j
fertile land in rverv county of the!
fctate lying idle and going to waste for the
want of labor to till the soil, we are unable t<>
see how any friend of South Carolina, outside
the lunatic asylum, could encourage or lead
the negroes to go elsewhere. In Abbeville
t-ounty there are about five thousand negroes
nnd about threo thousand white voters, and
yet It appears from tho Auditor's books that |
only about one-fourth of ourlands are In cnl- i
tlvatlon. With a knowledge of this condlrtlon
of affairs, we take any man who would |
^ruitiee the colored people away from thlscoun-!
1 ti,- to be little less than a public enemy.|
livery man. whether white or black, who
Allows and makes a bag of cotton is a public
lisuefactor, and contributes Just that amount I
/ to the wealth of the country. It is from the |
r/ flow of little springs that the great streams j
tlerive their strength, unci In like manner it is j
* by the contributions o^individual farmers
that the greut volume of money is increased.
Instead of having too many negroes in Abbe- !
\ I lie county, *e need twice as many as we
rlmvc."-' Xearty every farmer in the county I
could give employment to one or more colored
families and find themselvos greatly benefited
thereby. If our citizens had tenants to
the capacity of their farms, the rents would
soon make us the richest people in the world. J
15utas It Is, there are farms here containing j
from three hundred to five hundted acres,
with only one or two tenants who cultivate
perhaps one-tenth of the laud.
The attempt of the Legislature to "control
nbor" by the act to punish persons forentic
lug luouriirs away in.nu iiuuiuvi s iiiiiu ww
unworthy of the best and most thoroughgoing
General Assembly that has met In South
Carolina since reconstruction. The best and
only truo way to "control labor" Is to treat the
hired man lairly aud reasonably and to pay
? liini good wages?certainly all that we promise.
We have had practical experience with
laborers and median Its ever since the war,
and have yet to find the first cause of general
complaint. Good pay and fair dealing has
never yet failed to satisfy both employer and
employee. By this rule, when either becomes
dissatisfied a settlement cures all source of
trouble. Why any man should want a labor-,
itr ou his farm after he had become dissatisfied,
is more than we can uud rstand. Whenever
an employee is not loyal, he should, in
^ our opinion, bo dismissed Immediately?wo
would have no unwilling laborer about us.
working fur another than he can for us, we
not only cheerfully consent, but advise the
chunje. A poor man's muscle is his capital, j
and he should dlFpo>e of It to the best advan
- ' . tage to himself and his family. Holding this
*""* vluw of the matter, whenever we canuot afibrd
to pay no hfgh-.ni* another for labor, or
help of any kind, we Just iettn<ro.tKio7^?oa<
iw! he should do. In our opinion a man that
talks about being unable to "eontrol labor,"
only proclaln s his own unfitness for the business
he pursues.
/ We are perfectly sick and tired of all this
talk about ''oontroirMa^JM^~-liLi?ii;>~r*ntr>"
Xtecykeamev and hU followers 6omo time j
3j~ ago undertook to control "capital." We know,
B of nothing to equal the atrocity except the cf
S 'ort to "oontrol labor." Combinations or laws
to make cither subservient to the other is an
outrage upon Justice. The laws should be a
Bhlcld to tlio poor and weak, and not au en*
if giue to crush and oppress them.
Erskluc Collegc'-rrofessor-elect or
^ Mathematics.
From Dr. Sloan's letter It will be seen that]
the Board of Trustee* of Ersklnc College have
eloctod Mr. John II. Miller, of Camden, Alabama,
to the Chair of Mathematics In that
College. As wo understand It, Mr. Miller will
not assume theduties of the positionlo which
he has been clected until after he has prepared j
himself for the proper discharge of those du-;
tie?. We arc not personally acquainted with |
Mr. Miller, but we learn that lie is a young.
t gentleman of flue native abilities, aud It Is
generally believed that as so.-m as he shall
have attained proficiency In the 6clencethat
he Ik expected to tench, that he will do even
r more than Dr. Sloan claims that he will do,
viz: "that he will fill the p'a^e with credit to
. . himself, honor to the institution, and greut
tntUJaciionto hia friends." In this qualified
. expression as to the merits of the new Professor,
we cannot believe that this progressive
and liberal-minded member of tho Board
nicxnt "to damn by faint prniso" him upon
whom the Board bad Just conferred its honors,
and for this reason we would add that
we believe that he will also fill the plnco with
satisfaction to the public and to the patrons
of the College. A man can often satisfy "his
friends," when the public from whom an inBflBflBir
atltution derives It* chief support Is not quite
HO well picasen. rur iuib ri'iwun, wu win go ?
raOR^Lmiic further than our esteemed Mend, tho
^WfiHM^fcls'.lnguisIieU Dr. Sloan, and promise that
j^HjnjS^Rwhen Mr. Miller, at the end of the year, asBnHHu!DC3
the Professorship to which he has been
HBHRBectcd he will pivo entire satisfaction not
to his friends but to the public also. The
Board of Trustees havoacted with serious and
prayerful consideration of tho best Interests
of tho College, and wo doubt not that they
have acted well In tho matter, while giving
due weight to the consideration of the pro\r.
. priety or expediency of waiting so long atlme
I to fill this important Cluilr lit tho College.
| . Under the circumstances w o presume the inI
tercsts of the Church warranted their action,
and we shall expcct to see Mr. Miller tnake
lilmself equal to the requirements of the ofBflce.
He Is an orthodox Associate Reformed
Presbyterian, aDd in point of religious creed
at least is at once acceptable to the denominatlon
whoso children he is expected to educato.
We are led to believe that the Trustees
L fiillv rnnvtnppil nf thp nfnpccltv nnH
r I* ? ? " """ ? ?
determined upon raising the standard of
education In the College. If we may beullowed
a suggestion, wc would say this: If
there Is no valid reason why they should not
do so, let the Board of Trustees, or the Synod
of the Church, pass a resolution declaring all
, the Professorships vacant, and the Profes'
#ors subject to re-election ut tbe expiration
of Ave years. They could do as
Supreme Jud^c* and Senators have done on
occasions in the past. Let them after the
yas'age of this resolution, consider all the
Professors re-elected when the Professors,
like the Senators and Supreme Judges, could
draw lots for the long and short terms, and
then regularly thereafter cach Professor could
be elected or re-elected for the full term oi
. five years. By electing two Professors every
? .two years, in this way no radical change in
the Faculty of the College could take place,
and then each Professor would at least kn?w
that there was a chanco for his forfeiting h't
place, if he did not koep pacc with the advancements
of the age. and the requirements
of a progressive Board of Trustees.
Upon the whole, we think the Board ol
? _ ' Trustees have given the best evidence of a determination
on their part to do their whole
duty in the prcmisos.
Political Arrests.
The Hampton Guardian in speaking of the
? arrests in that county for alleged violations
of the election laws, among other thing:,
>. - fa>6:
"Every man arrested Is a Democrat, and tbc
Democratic party must stand squarely at
their backs with funds and able attorneys to
au<ist them in their troubles. We have 110
?!oubt that many, ir not nil, of tbe accused
parlies will be declared Innocent by the United
States Court, and then let the lying witnesses
have a chance to cleanse their perjured
>ouls of guilt or else go to Join their fellows
in the "innumerable caravan" on the
tank* of thcG'ongarce. White men cannot
a fiord any longer to have their business neglected
and time and money lost at this late
at the will in <f a few low, whisky-drinking
officials and their lying, negro tools. Let eontributions
pour In upon the County chairman.
Swell to thousands, it need be, the
fund to assist our brothers In distress, and to
tens of thousands to pursue and prosecute
j-erjurcrs without morcy. The time for dtelsive
action has surely come.

For our own part wo do not know why the
religiousodi:or.s areso vindictive against Haia
Bernhurdt, anu cxercise so little of tho Clirl.s-'
tlan grow when cpeakln?of tlio patronnge
that the public have bestowed on that Rctress.

tho nurses of their Jown children, make no
pretension to tlie possesion of tbe moral
quality, of which they say the great actor tsj

fore an audience In public, It would seem that
those whom we take into tho privacy of our
owu household, to watch overandeare forour
innocent little children, should n>tbelessj
pure than the standard which we would set i<p I
for a public actrcss. Of course we know very
litt'e of tho purity of "Jomestic.;" In the
North, but f. r a majority of tUo Southern J
men to put 011 airs about going to bean
Sara Bernhardt is nothing more r.or less thau
inconsistency?not to put It In utrongor language.
Christian people i>hou!d look well to |
their own acts before condemning others for
less offenses against tho moral law than they
themselves commit. Wo think the practice
of onfldlng oUr puro babes and Innocent
children to the care of impure women a
much more questionable act thau that of
1'rnu'n.nn r>< oi<io L'olnff to an opera or theater
- ?to
see ami hear Sara Bernhardt. IJy-tlie-way, I
docs It not seem a little strange that these in-1
consistently pure people have such a nuck for;
ferreting out and publishing the defects ofj
persons against whom they have taken a dis- ]
like?
In this connection, we would have it under- i
stood that we make no excuse for the sins of;
Sara Bernhardt. We think It rljjht that she i
should be excluded from "society," but we do
not think It commendable for every "religious"
man In the whole country toabusehcr
and the people who go to see and hear her.
It will be remcmbored thut our Saviour, on
ono occasion rebuked some pious gentlemen
who were accusing a woman, very much rn
they are now accusing Sam, while thej are,
by Implication, casting insinuations against
those wtio have the cultivation to appreciate
her talentd, and the ludepcndencc to go to
hear her.

An Affliction*
In the Chriatimi Union we notice that "The
Future of the Xegro in the South" is being
dlscus>cd by Howell Cobb, of Athens, Ga. We
had in years past thought that we might reasonably
hope for a reston this subject,atsome
future time, but It seems that no such good
luck is in store for us. If tho gentleman from
Georgia would say only ono thing that had
not been already swld about ten million times
in the last fifteen years, we might biar with
it, but for a prominent citizen at this late day
to i;ilie up me suujeciaiier every iumi,iu uuui
the North and the South, had discussed It
until It was threadbare, is more than
anybody, except a Christian editor, could tolerate.
That we may bo relieved of a further
infliction of a discussion of this subject, we
shall implore the prayers In our behalf of all
religious and God-fearing men for the next
; thirty days. "The effectual fervent prayer of
I a righteous man availeth much." and consequently
we shall yet rcucw our hopefor a final
deliverance from this evil.
Then we may be able to study out the proi
b!cm of what is to become of the white peo|
pie If they don't go to work and let the nesrro
i alone? The negro is at woik, while iniprnctlI
cable white men aro distracting our attention
from that more important subject, ' the future
of the white mau in the South."
The Cnfortniiate.
It appears from tlio Greenville Xcu-x that Mr.
W. \V. Goldsmith's safe was robbed on the
nicht of December 24; that he soon afterward
offered a reward of $1/103 for the thief; that
Mr. Goldsmith subsequently made an assignment
of his goods for the benefit of his creditors;
that recently some "unknown person"
requested Mr. Goldsmith to deposit with some
reliable firm this amount, because he thought
the robbed man could oot command so much
monevjt the 5W "'"V tfe"? ~
01 the sum on condition that
goldsmith furnish the other half; Goldsmith
then said, "I have suffered greatly?my loss
has been heavy, and I am not nowy
the reward offered without distressing my
_ It liLffoTdoubt all liberal, generous, and fair,
Knt ilis mnni.or In whio.ii the circumstances
j are lo!d cxcitesour sympathy for the unlucky
J man, who has been compelled to make an asj
sign merit. If the Mayor thinks the city ought
to ofl'er a reward of $500 for the discovery of
the thief, ho need not make the ofl'er conditional
on the payment of a like mm by the
nmn who has suffered the Ioks, and is insolvent.
To us the proceedluss, taken asa whole,
seem a little out of the regular order of things
| in such coses;

The Killing: of Railroad Employees.
There Is scarcely a week in the year that we
do not read of the crushing to death of Itallroad
smployees. This it seems to us occurs
from tho Improper construction of the"buf
fers'' or "bumpers" or "couplings" of theears.
In our opinion Congress should pass a law requiring
that such arrangements be made for
the coupling of cars as will not endanger the
lifo of the employee as at present. Under the
present arrangement It eecms little less tlmu
premeditated murilor to employ a man to undertake
so dangerous aJob as the coupllug of
cars.
Jfeirberry Takes tlie Load.
From the last issue of the yewberry Herald
we are led to believe that they Intend to enforce
in that county the law against carrying
concealed weapons. In four days after the
| law went into effect, three persons werearj
rested for rlolatlon of its pro%-islons. We are
| glad to sco this evidence of a disposition to
! enforce a good law. The Hn ald says:
A good start has boen made in this couuty
j toward enforcing the new law against carry j
tng conccaled deadly weapons. It Is u good
I law, and has long been needed. If strictly enj
forced, and If violators are punished pretty sei
verely, the evil habit of carrying pistols will
soon cea?e, and then there will be fewer homicides.
Hut unless the law Is to be enforced
rigidly and Impartially It would better not be
on thestatute books; for it would then put the
man who desires to obey the law at the mercy
ot him who disregards it. There arc many
who maUo it a point to obey the law from conscientious
motives?because it is the law;
I while there are others who will not obey it
I unless compelled todoso. For the latter class
ia good, healthy fine or Imprisonment will
i work wondcrlul results. Wo nolo the followi
lug:
Mr. John Allen, a Tennessee horse trader,
I hail a difficulty with a negro on the streets the
4th Instant, and drew a pistol from hl? pocket
and tired twice?not at the negro, but up Into
the air, prob.ibly to frighten him. He was arrested
and bound over by Trial Justice Fair
to the Sessions Court on theehargcof carrying
a concealed deadly weapon.
Joe Robertson, colored, shot another colored
man named Stephenson Mr. J. M.Ward's
place the 3d Instant. A warrant has been Issued
by Trial Justice Carlisle for his arrest, on
the charge of assault with Intent to kill and
carrying a concealed deadly weapon.
Zekc Robertson, colored, is also charged
with carrying a concealed deadly weapon (a
pistol). and a wnrrant has been issued bv tit*
I fiume officer for his arrot.
; We nre requested to warn the people of this
I and adjoining counties against giving any aid
1 or encouragement tooncMmith, who professes
to he an oflicial member of the Methodist
Church, and traveling to raise money for the
bcnelit of the Walterboro Church. This man
j is a vile Impostor ami has noauthorliy for his
I action. V e would be clad if the press of tho
j State would hand him around.
j We take the abc e from the Orangeburg
| Times, not for the pui pose of copying an unj
kind word for "one Smith," but that we might
.{protest against the publication of such noi
tices. The editor is uierely "requested" to
| write up a poor friendless creature, and he
i straightway goeeotl and advertises this man
j j as a "vile Impostor." If "one Smith" had
c'; chcated the people of Orangeburg It was In or,
der for tho Orangeburg Times to relate the
II facts, when tho public could Judgo for thetn!
solves, whether he was, or was not, "an 1m.
, jpostor." That wholesale denunciation of a
(l man, bccauso the editor was requested to do
j so, should cease, llow does the editor or his
i informant know that "one Smith" intends to
j chcat anybody ? The liberty of tho press
r'should not bo reduced to license to defame
I any class of our citizens.
I A writer In the Baptist Courier asserts that
I our Baptist brothetK did not adopt "iramerI
slon" ns their mode of baptism until about
j the year 1635. This statement Is a stunner,
and many orthodox Baptists will ^bo slow to
accept tho statement as true.
The law to prevent persons from carrying
concealed weapons Is now in forcc, and every
one had better read and obey it. There Is no
j necessity in a civilized, law-abiding country
'tor a mau to go out armed like a highwayman.
The habit is an insult to our society,
and is dangerous besides. The Legislature
has decided to stop it, and some one will be
1 punished for Its violation before many weeks
pass. The prie.; of pistols should be considerably
reduced by the new law?at least we npi
prebend there will be fewer or Hum sold.
| The law is a good one, and should be strictly
. eniorced.?Luuwstcr Jtcvitw.
\ The enactment excltim; most comment in
; the press, is that prohibiting the snle?>f liquor
.outside of ineorpoiaii'd towns. Now if the
. towns take action the dram-soller's occupa,
j lion is gone. The bar-kmpei s of Charleston

ter. They have held public meetings to dls|
cuss a proper course to pursue, and nave re,

From the Charlotte Observer we take the following
arlkie, which that, paper says was
taken from the Atlanta GinS'ilxitton. We
transfer It to oUr columns because we believe
It t:> be of general interest to our reader*,and
b'-cause It furnishes one of the best arguments
In favor of education. Those who
took a leading part In the war, and who afterward
held important positions in the political
or the civil pursuits of life, almost without
exception, were men of education. !
The fate of the "rebel brigadier" at the close <
of the war was enough to depress the most i
buoyant among them. They had put every- ,
thing on the turn of the sWord and had lost. <
Of course thepiivate-;of theConfetleratearmy I

The House and ihe Senate have a good j
many of our generals. Gen. Vattce wnB living ,
very easily, and added to his fortune by his |

all in the war and has not recovered much ;
Major-General Maxey, of Texas, who, by the
way, has an independent Income Irom his
practice, and owns a beautiful home In Paris,
Texan.
In the House there are many brigadiers, and
a few heavier generals. Genoial Joseph E.
Johnson leads in rank, though his service lias
not been brilliant. Alabama lias done welt
by her generals, having In the House? MajorGeneral
W. H. Forney, who has little beyond

There are very lew of our old generals who
have accepted olUce from the Federal government.
Lieutenant-lieuerul Ixingstrcot, who
was horn In the Dai k Corner of K<Jgetlcid,S. C,
near the Abbeville line, was one of the ablest

I took a more prominent part in the war.
[since the war he has held several Federal ap
polntments?was for a time collector of the
poitof New Orleans; was subsequently postmaster
at Gainesville, Ga., and Is now minister
to Turkey. Colonel Mosby, whowon the

Major-General I.aFuyetie McLa vs.
who was one of the powers of the Army of
Virginia, is postmaster at Savannah. MajorGeneral
James Fagln was United States marchal
of Arkansas under Grant. I do not know
of any others that hold politlenl appointments,
and believe there are none others. Oh
yes; there Is General Jnek Wharton, of Louisiana,
who took the marshalshlpof the New
Orleans district a lew years ago.
The railroad business has captured Its quota
of the generals and pays good salaries for
light mid genteel work, Major-General John

We presume that It would not be out of

Hampton ami General Rutler, there are many |
sther Con federate Generals who are now actIng
Important parts In the Government Of t>r
South Carolina. Those who won distinction
In the war are not less renowned la the civil
pursuits of life. Hi
General Nathan George Evans wfis bcrn In Wl
Marlon county, South Carolina. After the K11
completion of his education at Randolph-Ma- P,;
con Coil< ge, Virginia, ai'd soon after nls re- Oi
lurn home he received fiom tiie Hon. John c.

ACadcmv at West Point. He graduated la
Juno 184S, and immediately after was promot- ,,r
ed Frevet Second Lieutenant of 1st Drficoons, ot
ntid assigned to duly at Fort Smith, Arkansas. 'J1
He remained Hcverul years in thatState until *'
the breaking out of serious Indian hostilities J1
upon the Texas frontier. Having been ordered
to Texas, and upon his arrival there, he
was engaged in a desultory warfare ngalnxt ,ltl
the Indians. Having obtained leave of ab- {"
sencc to visit his relatives ho returned to "l
-Ootli Carolina in tlie year IStiO, and while In ro
South Carolina married Ann Victoria, dauuh- 1,1

shortly af:erward left with bis bride for Texas* w
Upon his arrival in Texas be found the In- 01
diaus bold and defiant In thfir inmrslons uprtn
tho white settlers, and at bis request was te
made commanding officer of an expedition to an
drive them back. While In command of this th
expedition the celebrated Indian battleof the l''
Wachita was fought, in tills fight he com- nR
plctc!y routed a large bnnd of Indians, kllllni: '
two of their most noted chieftains with his th
own hand, besides capturing an Indian Has '<
made of varlepated feathers. This deed of sli
gallantry was not only rccognlzed bj the Feeretary
of War in piomotiug him to a Captain- of
UUL ujr nuillil v,lil(il lin lil uiiii
witli a magnificent sword. At the outbreak at
of the war between the Stales General Evans In
was In Texas at Camp trooper. As soon hs hi
news was received of the Secession of Soulh ?
Carolina, he sent hls resignation to tho War wi
Department at Washington. and wrote a let- ui
ter tendering his services to Governor Pickens Kj
of South Carolina. Upon his arrival at Mont- of
gomery, Alabama, where tho Confederate (.ton- sti
gross was In session, he was given the appointment
of Major or Cavalry and detailed T1
for duly us Adjutant of the regular forces In G'
South Carolina, and In the discharge of this ut
duty was present and assisted In the bombard- ?'c
merit of tort Sum I er. He was subsequently C<
appointed a Colonel and sent to Virginia gr
when the war cloud of battle waR about lo
burst over the people of the South. In the cl
memorable first Manassas battle he was as- ly
signed the command of a brigade. For the P<
part he bore in this battle, his namewas men- m
tioned with particular distinction by General h<
Beauregard in Ills official report ol the action, ai
South Carolina also honored him with a gold
medal for hi* gallantry. Although General in
Evans was engaged In all the great and most vl
Important battles of the war, and in every tli
State of tho Southern Confederacy, there was bt
none that more conspicuously called forth hl? G
greit military talent than thnt of Leesburg
or Ball's Blutt', which was fought under hit sc
immediate direction. It Ik conceded thnt tM*; ?1
victory for the Confederates was one of the. hi
most complete and brilliant of the many 04
liiught during the fouryearsof warfare, and >.T
won for General Evans undying fame. After A

panted President Davis to south Carolina. 1:<
After remalulng in Cokesbury (or a year, he ei
engaged In the commission business In fa
Charleston. This r.ot proving as successful as tl
anticipated, and not compatible with his h<

born in the Hard Labor neighborhood, where I)
his parents resided before moving to the (j
neighborhood of Liberty Hill in Edgefield ni
county (then district), lie was of a martial t<
turn from his boyhood, and although not yi
twenty-ono years of age when the war with i>i
Mexico broke out, he applied :ora Lleuienan- tc
cy In one of the ten regiments of regulars
1 aised to prosecute that contest. His applies K
tion was made as A. M. Perrin, his cousin,our .11
own distinguished and lamented townsman, M
J. M.l'errln having made a slmilarapplicaiion ft
about the same time. The tlrst commission si
was sent to A. M.Perrin and he repaired at n
once to the tented field, but only in lime to d
witness ttio triumphant termination cf that
brilliant struggle. At the close of the var he lr
returned to Edgefield, studhd law, was admit- d!

House as a praclllloner.and married a dang li- pi

in the bivouac of tliearmy between Gordons- M

When the war bet ween the States occured Gen ^
I'errin volunteered and was elected Captain In j
one of the companion of the 14th reuliuent. w
whose history is a part of that glorious butiil NV
fated struggle, whose colors he followed on Cl
many a hard fought field and to whose fame
he contributed so much. Chafing under tho t,
consciousness of superior worth as a subai- t,
tern, upon the promotion of Colonel McGow- |K
ah to the otHce of Brigadier-General and tlie j
election of Lieutenant-Colonel Simpson to the w
Confederate Congress, he made a, successful n
coupe for tho supreme command of the real- H
nient and wh? appointed Its Colonui a'sout the ?
beginning of tho campaign of 18<>i. By the
disasters of Chanceliorsvllle. he commanded j,,
the brigade in tho Pennsylvania campaign
and by his gallantry and skill, uotably at Get- j]
tysburg. excited the admli atlon of the army of
Vorthcm Virginia, and won tlie rank of a u,
Brlgadicr-Generol. He was assigned to an Hj
Alabama brigade (Wilcox's; and led It
through the battle of tho Wilderness. The e,
Tv-ritm- nf flits brief and Imocrfeet sketch will w
never forget an incident tfiat occurred on the V
second day of that desperate tlclit. Kidlng
down the plunk roud a litt'e after sunrise at ||
the head of his pallaut Aiabarnlans. with the
light Ol battle In his splendid hazel eye; he d,
said In the familiar address of an old school- ^
fellow, "I will come out of this campaign a
living Major-General or a (lead HrlRatiier." b
The words were prophetic. It is believed they w
would have beeu equally go. had his life so C|
valuable to our waning cause been spared. A b
few days afterward in the bloody anijle at
Spottsylvanla, his hrave and devoted com- 3
rades, stood sorrowing around the corpse of cj
their Idol?the dead Brigadier. Ii Is 110 undue
praise of hlra?It is no disparagement of oth- _
ers, to say that "he was the bravest of the *
biavc, where all were brave."
"So useless coffin inclosed hU breast,
Nor I11 shcetnor In shroud we wound him, 1,
But he lay like a wurrlor, taking his rest i,
Willi his martial cloak around him." *
ficn. fiarv's native vlllago is Cokesbury, Ab- w
bevllie county, where he received his early p
education; arierspending a year or two at "I
the South Carolina College, ho went to Har- "
vard University where he graduated. Gen. "i
Gaiy went to KdgeJieid shortly after graduate "i
lug, read the course of law and was udmlitcd "i
to practice. He was In a few years elected a "i
member to the Legislature and was a member "
of the Legislature when South Carolina se- "
ceded. During the early part of the war he ft
entered the Confederate service as Captain of
n company of Volunteers, Ills gallantry anil tl
cool Judgment displayed on the battle-field ft
soon caused his promotion : step by step he v
was promoted until near iho close of the war p
he wascomtni-sioned a Major-General. Jus p
after he had won his spurs ns a Get oral, t n
council of war wi s called by G'-n. Lee,On than a
occasion, Gen. Lee remarked that It was cust
totnary to heur from the youngist general- o
first, and he called upon Gen. Gary for apian I:
of the buttle In contcmplutlon. Cien. Gary si
gave his plan of battle. Gen. Lee then called p
upon the other Generals present and after t]
hearing their plans, said he was best pleased ti
with Gen. Gary's plan, but that he thought
the plan of Gen. Gary might necessitate the e
ni;o nf tnn m.aiiv troons to nold an Important o
position. Gen. Gary remarked that he would n
hold that position If he were allowed a eer- 2.
Iain number of troops, (comparatively lew In o
number.) (Jen. Lee allowed him the number n
lie desired, the battle was fought upon Gen. tl
Gary's plan, he held tho position assigned b
him and the Confederates pained a decided n
victory. AtthiclONO of the war he reiused o
to give UP his sword, and cut his way through tl
tho ranks of the enemy, followed by a few of c
his soldiers, and eamo home. After the war w
he turned his attention tntlie practice of his si
profession and his planting Interest, in both e
of which he has been very successful, and Is It
now the largest tax-payer In Kdgefleltl county.
With all his gallantry, howevor, he nov-| o
er married, and fs now a bacbolor of fifty ti
years of age. In 1876 ho turntd his efforts to b
the redemption of our State from the control w
of the negro and carpet-baggor, and his clarion
voice was heard In every county In the

lie Labor Question of South Carolina.
(Ncivt and Courier.)
Senator Butler Is reported by the Washing>n
correspondent of the New !'or,fc Heratil as
tying that he believes that both the negroes
ow In the South and the Souther- whites
ill be the better for the migration of a large
roportlon of the blacks to otherStntes. The
Idacks are too numerous with us to do well.
If South Carolina had but half ns many as
die has she would be a more prosperous and
advancing Slate. '1'he negroes who remained
would be far better off, and the places of
those who had left us would be quickly snpulled
with white Immigrants, to the enrich
menl of theState." 'Ilila Is reported to be
emitor Butler s view.
We know that It Is the common opinion thut
lore is more colored Inbor than III needed In
nuth Carolina, and th* number of colored
oiere Is laruer than Is good Tor us. l!ut comlalnts
reach us that labor Is source In seme
art* of the state, nnd we are not s are, by iiny
loans, that while people will ftoivin.as fast
s the colored people can flow out.
Cheap labor as a rule is Inefflcler t. It Is the
Id story of "poor pay, poor preach." White
(borers will not be satisfied with the wnges,
[jelter and ration* given to the colored poole;
and white laborers in this country are
tie equals of their employers and cannot be
rented as "free nenroes."
We shall be glad If our country correspondntswlll
give us what information tliey have
n these points: 1. Is thesnpply of labor, excessive,
suttlclent or insufficient; nnd why?
Arc waccs rising? 3. Arc employers deslrus
of teltlng white laborers to replace the
egrncs and are they prepared for the changes
lint are indispensable if white laborers are to
e obtained and kept? 4. Is not the colored
inn. having regard to the habits and training
f the whites as well ns to his own peculiar!-'
les, the most manageable and efficient agrlultural
laborer within reach? 5. Will not
rhlie lmmigrantscome here to work for themslvesandnot
for others, and, by hiring neroes,
rather lncrense the demand for colored
ibor than diminish it?
Intelligentanswers to these questions, wlthut
waste ol words, will give the public a bet;r
underslandlng of the conditions of the larr
problem than can be hnd in any other
'ay that is open to us at this time.
