Note?This article was written ror iasi *" R week's Uane of the Press and Banner, but by ar ! accident was omitted. I Elsewhere in these columns may be found re 8 views of some of the editors of this State on 8U A the subject of negro emigration. This news- at B paper does not pretend to/argue wlthj these (n H gentlemen, nor do we Intend to combat their statements. Bat their statements being In 01 BR reference to questions npoa wbloh there ;may P1 be a difference of opinion, we venture to sug- a. gest that there are other causes for our troubles than the presence of the great multl m HH tude of negroes in Abbeville County. w 9 The low price at whlcb our farming lands ht H are sold Is not the result of the presence of the negro tenants. ta But the lands go at low prloes because there ri< ' ?" ? trroafor nnmhnr of thrift? farmers who have ;he money with whioh to bar tbe land ibat|ls now idle and unprofitable, p Thousands of Peres of good; land are un- 10 H cultivated in tbis county because tbere Is not fo HB capital and labor to work it. *? MB Every nogro wbo goes off to tbe West leaves H bis plow Id tbe furrow, and blB mule stands st Hf Idle, while tbe owner of tbe Abbeville land> b( B Is left In the luroh. lc To encourage the emigration of the labor. 8* |f era from this oouatry, Is to urge the destruc. tb tlon of our farmlug interests, which are now w HE badly suffering for laborers. p( H t Abbeville County farming lands could give Jl SB employment to at leaBt three times lis pre. 01 sent population. [ . It Is true that we need in Abbeville County w I , a greater number of prosperous farmers. fl I It is true that the Abbeville lands are belter a> % than the lands of Anderson County. It is also true tbat lauds can be bought at C( * - Kl.19.. mllno nf Ah g' iruui ?u iU?o au awio nnutu u?v uiuvd v. bevllle Court House. t( Tbe same lands upon which people amassed fortune? before the war are'now lying Idle, overgrown with pines and more or Iobs washed Into galleys. The creek bottoms apon | which grew as fine corn as ever greeted tbe ? L eye of Joseph In tbe land of Egypt, have gone ai to waste. The beds of the creeks have beezrt t( Overgrown by bushes, tbe streams have filled a Hk I Hp, and the bottoms are now covered with 81 Mb water or are too wet for cultivation. C WB Tut stretches of fertile lands are here waiting for the coming ofmorc labor and more t< capital?not waiting for the departure of the tl limited amounts' of labor that may now be * Ifoandiipoa the unprofitable fields. OorWeams have been filled ^p, and their tl course now the width of the valley, and t< with eaeh succeeding rain the valleys be- 1' come great seas and additional deposits are' being made upon them. If these creeks tl ? were ditohed the bed of the streams would o: be so lowered that the bottom land would again beoome profitable. ii Why the people ot Anderson County will V( ' pay 915 or 120 an acre for lands which are Inferior to those in Abbeville which may be K1 Viorf at fpnm S3 .VI tn Sft la mnn than wb CAn Bp tell, bat we are qalte sure that tbe price of P Rf oar lands 1b not depressed because of tbe cl presenoe of labor. ? | \ Bat the State of South Carolina would gain I Niotblng by tbe Immigration of oltlzenB from o ' another county to this county. In tbat case, u Vv If Abbeville gained, otber .counties would ? lose. h Abbeville County has, in the past suffered by emigration. a Before the war, tbe small landowner and at other "poor white trash," were encouraged or forced to go to tbe West. Thousands ol white people of this county, under pressure, or T from force of circumstances, went Westward ? before the war. For several years after the war a great mass of our young .white men T1 left the negro*rldden State for new.lflelds of M usefulness. he After Democratic reconstruction thousands t>3 of negroes went to Louisiana and elsewhere, ao great was tae injury mat was oeiug in- bu fllctad by emigration agents that; a law was ?r 'paaaed against their business. p?' Speaking oar ownjmind, we trnst that tbere ac may be no great removal of men from this county. W We trust that the negroes Jmay be so well treated that they may have no deslro to go pr off to distant lands, where they'will fare ^ much worse than they do in Abbeville. ? If any white man shall hereafter lead the ^ negroes into a riot against white men, we hope that the leaders may first be paniehed 7^ as they deserve. While the negroes are not ( Irresponsible, yet we think the white men ^ ;who lead them to break the peace, or to 'e '' i. disturb the present friendly relations between 1 j the races, ought to be dealt with. Forbear- ^ / ance has ceased to be a virtue. / h? |p -< bI Will Make a Good Report. ly to Mr. Stephen Greene, the best mill architect in;Amerlca, and therefore the best In the a world, was In town recently and as usual on th his plaits to Abbeville, was the honored guest U| [ of President Bailey.

Did on Enemy Do This 7 vVe learn tbal one mgni met wees a oar id of negro emigrants left Greenwood, going sst over the Seaboard Atr Line. Slewed from our standppint, the situation this section of the State Is about In this iy: ( I. Our people are very poor. They have lit> but land. Although the Intrinsic value of at land is much, yet Its market value is . ry little. The people have very little In me, except that which they receive from J e rent or cultivation of their land. !. Our people have almost no stocks or >nds, from which they may receive a venue. . I. If their labor, or their tenants, are J iticed away, or are driven from the country, P elr mules and their farming Implements, e left on tbelr bands at great loss. ri 1. If the farms are made desolate by the moval of tenants, the landowner Is made to fler a great loss, both In cutting off his rent J id In the reduced Value of his mules and rmlng Implements. The man who would drive away the labor this country, or entice It away by great -omlses. may be regarded as little less than public enemy. , The man who would take away the citizen's J eans of making a support, by interfering j 1th his labor, deserves attention from tbe c in d a of the neigh bore. 1 This periodical Intermeddling with the i rming interest, like that of inciting race <; ots, has had its day. The one is scarcely 8 ss reprehensible than the other. c And we think that any man in the future ] ho may inolte another race riot, or attempt ( martial unregistered negroes at tbe polls, ( r the purpose of interfering with our elect- t ns. should sufler. , t la what we say we wisa u aisuciciiy uuucr. ( ood that we are in favor of letting by-gones ( > by-gones. The Tolberts should be allowed l i return to their placea of business, but they j lould be given fair notice that if they renew c lelr political relations \?lth the negroes ] hereby trouble may be brought to this g sople, they must take the consequences, c udgment or vengance against them for past lenses should be suspended. { For thirty years this people have borne ith white men who sought to ride into ofoe by affiliating with the negro and by [ raying him against bis white neighbors. No Jury in tblB county would, or should, jnvict anybody for shooting a negro emiration agent who may go on our farms > entice away our labor. m ! m * For the Legislature. The Legislature should take stepe to save i entlemen the trouble ana expense of hiring i u attorney to go with them before a Judge t > get bond for shooting a negro, or killing I trifling white man. And then the County jould be saved .the expense of a trial at ?art. Incase it be not convenient for gentlemen 3. attend court under the charge murder bey might send up a written statement rblch should be satisfactory to the Court. In caae It was not a case of self-defense and be dead man waB shot from the front, a doc)r's certificate that the slayer was afflicted i his mind ought to do. Of course, if the dead man was shot in le back, every body knows that It was a case r self-defense. A certificate that the dead man was killed i the back, should entitle the man to a erdlot of excusable,homicide. Much money has been wasted by inveBtlating cases of shot In the back. The coroner's Juries are beginning to find a roper verdict namely: "Justifiable botnlIde" or by the Sheriff, under the forms of lw, ^Justifiable" killing of some sort. Their verdiots are,right. An Inquest held ver the body of a man who had been banged Bed to be pronounced "Justifiable," and now ommon slayers are guilty of "Justifiable" omlclde, Just like the Sheriff. Properly speaking, under tbe oia rnie, 11 man shot a negro In tne back it was "excus>le," but now it is "Justifiable." be President Blay Stop Race Biota In tbe Sontbv Hobson baa been sent to tbo Philippines His is something for which we may tbank cKlnley or other Washington authority. An organization to be known as the "Broth>od of African Descent'1 is being formed r colored men in Oblo. It is to be a nationsociety for the alleged purpose of preventg raoe riots. The preventive means are not ggested. We think it well for tbe Oblo coU ed men to remember tbe wise saying of the resident that "integrity and industry" are iramount principles, lor tbe colored brother J (l/nohmnrtAn'a oaoorHrtn that f hprA e better things than politics "for the negro.? ewberry Observer. Wrong again. The President is the man to event race riots. As soon as he ceases to re ard the leaders In such troubles with office* e race riots will stop. But race riots will syer stop as long as they are encouraged at ashlDgton. As soon as aDy body down >ath has been able to get up a russ, be has iretofore been rewarded wltfi office, If be ent to Washington. Even old Tom Finy got an office In Washington.

When he recovered sufficient. to go to Washington, he went there and Id the President that somebody bad whipid him with a piece of barbed wire. He got 8 profitable Job in the capital.
