Money spent In sending missionaries to that country may be worse than wasted. The time has not yet oome for Intermeddling with the religion of the Chinaman. Five missionaries were recently slain by a Chinese mob. Onr religion Is all right, bat the Chinaman Is not readV for it.

Ob what a beautiful play Is this tuat osrtles us baott to anarchy aud chaos, "li st we lot get." How it Alls our minus with the psolfylng influences of rape aud bloud aud hellish horror, "lest we forget, lest we lorget." We aie so liable to forget, (Jod has not endowed us with good memories. We are prone to forget the trla's that we and our fathers went through. We are so apt to torget the terrible toriuris our mothers, wives and sisters endured from 61 to 76. That we endured the horrors of thai period are not burned into our souls with letters of blszlng fire. We have heard thene things recouuteu to do purpose at our heartbstouis, and unless we go to see the Clansman we uiigtit forget. We might forget the ver decreasing number of our fathers, and the namelesx graves on the far off battle fields that hold what were once tbe asperations, the cherished hopes, the fond loves of a thousand South em homes. We might forget the prlvatioos, tbe } earnings for those who never returned, the terrlb e toil that our noble southern women underwent, unless ?e went to see the clansman playeu! We might forget that tbe negro Is to be bounded and tbat it is our christian duty to curse forever and never to, forgive tboseofthe north who were preoju" diced agxlnts us.

It Is such a noble thing to workpeople Into p lighting frenzy, to bear the ubrettralning yell "shootl knit" How exciting to hear tbe band claps of appreciation and tbe bins of hatred at the same Instant. Mr. Dixon ha* Indeed done a noble work. He has dog down and brought to light this burled putrid cancer ibat we might gloat on It once more,'that once more the stench might touch our nostrils?this beautiful canoer that grew on our body from 61 to 76 and which we cut oil ana bnned, Mr. Dlzon has resurected that we might lake anotner look, "lest we forget." How noble In Mr. Dixuu to make tbe sacrifice of leaving nis pulpit and devoting his energlts, bis time, bis money, to (be opening 01 this old sore 'Meat we iorget." A.h Mr. Dlzon, of all your utterances, of all your writings, ol all we have ever heard from you; this is the weakest, most t Geminate expression that you have ever breathed! "lest we forget." To insult our patriotism in tbls mean guise?to lunlnuaie that we, sons of the south, aie forgetting or ever will forget our truidtintu Mil havn nvf rmeDDfcd the bounda rles la ibis Mr. Dixon. Id this you tiave wounded our pride, and trampled on our patriotism. Forget! Forget our pant when our hearts are back ibere! Forget Ibe father's or tbe btotbtr's bones tbat lie bleaching on tbe many baitle flelde! Rather "lei my right band foiget ber cunning" or let my vongue cleave lu the roof of my moutb. My earliest memories take me back to tbe lime when 1 was a tot, and among my firm excitement* was listening to tbe heart lell yells, Hurrab lor Hampton! To my youug mind ibis was a demigod, one whom I deHired ardently to see and bear. In later days I found tbat I was not mucb mistaken In my man. His words, those ibat are commonly ween wlib wltb bis picture Indicate tbe man. "All my people, both black and wblta, God bless them all." What would Hampton say of Mr Dixon's piaj? This magnanimous noble Souiberner, what would be bio verdict? His verdict would be ours, it is yours, It is, that the Clansman will not do good out barm. W.R. B. Concerning "Tbe Clantmiau." "Tbe Clansman was born in bell and operated by ibe devil." Bp says Dr. Brougbton, a minister of tbe gospel, oj Atlanta, Ua. The Ciansmau was played in Atlanta to an overflowing house such as ii bas bad ateyery point in the bomb, despite ibe barsb criticism of tbe p ay and Its author by ao Isolated paper or individual. T Doubtless many 01 Dr. Broughtob's erstwhile doolie members, taking tbe treat guilt upuu tbelr own beads, dared to witness ibis stage performance. it la said tbatcburcb members uave dared to do ao at oilier puima 10 llh e wak?, which must be true, unless tbere is a L world of theatre going common sinners. Dr. Brougbton wou.il do well to session tbe reiraoiory uieuibers wbo^wouid tbus dare to exercise tbe liberty of cootcleuce. Wbat Is tbere In tbis book to arouse thfe Ire of tbls clergy man, or tbe purest cburcb member ol oih or any otber congregation ? it Is objected tbat ibe story does not conform verbatim to South Carolina bislory; tbat It is upon a low plane, aud uofUfur presentation before a rtOned audience; tbat it stirs up, to no pur pone, racial aud sectional auu^ooibm. Do tbe tacts warrant tnese ob- ( Jeciloub? Tbat bisjacu may not all dovetail Into tbe i dates and events of South Carolina history 1 wuh mntbi mat leal precision is uoubtiess 1 true. Tbe tame might be said of Kenllworib, Le? Miseiaoies, Vanity Fair, Dumar'a 1 works or any otber. semi historical fiction. Wbat difference does It make woelber tbere were twenty or one nundred thousand negro troops in tbe state, lu reoonsti notion days, and wbetber or not tbese troops werescatie and actually driven out by tbe Ku Klilx Klan. Tbe tact is tbat tbe prostrate state no longer capable of resisting au armed force In tbe open field, did resort to tbe Ku Klux Klan, tor protection against ine exce-ses of ibe Ignorant misguided negro, drunk wltb power. Wbetber tbe negro maoblne was finally overthrown by tbe Klan or by tbe red shirt biegude," is a matter ofindlflerence, as tbe personei ol eaob was largely Identical. Tbe work of tbe Klan wae more terrib e as was also the period lb wblcb it operated, and it watt this terrorizing of tbe negro, during the period of our helplessness that kept blm In bounds until open reslsianoe was possible. The secret organization doubtless accomplishr ed tbe end oi preparing wuue men for ready and effective open organization. Tbe transition was easy from tbe secret to tbe open or" ganlzallon, r But Dixon's story is not a story of South Carolina?it Is a story ol tbe South, with tbe ' oompilment to this state of laying the scene 5 here. That it la true in fact, in essentials, is 8 beyond question. Tbere is scarcely a rural precinct in the state that has not witnessed the disgusting election scenes portrayed In I the boob; scarcely a vicinity that has not had some ol its most honored citizens carried at tbe point of negro bayonets before an alien military despot; scareely one tbat has not been sickened by the perpetration of the ' crime unspeakable, li Dixon were writing r for tbe generation which faced the foe, now 1 . passing away, or lor that generation which receives the lacts first hand, the cry "let us forget" might be well founded ; and yet tbe plain truth can do even ihese no harm. His work, however, is not for tbe present * alone, l't Is for time, colored if you will, but 1 colored with the blood of a suffering -people. , Touching tbe objection tnat the play is on a low plane, and until for presentation to a refined audience, It may be said truthfu ly, j that no such criticise can honestly be , brought against the book, and tbe piay, pre- ' ' sumably, does not embrace scenes outside of - the book. I Tbe verdict of a certain gentlemim who witnessed tbe play In Atlanta and whose Judgmentlsas wormy of respeotas that of any - man in the State, morally, or Intellectually . is "that there is nollnng In the play to offend i tbe modest, or to do violence to tbe hlstorl- < cal stickier. He says It Is a plain presentation of a plain truth." The "Black Urook" or tbe."DevH's Auction" can pass uy without making a ripple upon f the moral sea; It Is left for the Clansman, a true story of a struggling people to raise tbe J waves mountain bign. 1 We come now to the last objection; tbat the f play ours up, to do purpose, Becuouai ana * racial Birlffii * The Intelligent negro of today recognizes 1 ? ihe utter folly of negro rule, and viewing r tboae stirring times from bis more enlighten- t ed condition, be recognizes tbe necessity : wtuch drove tbe white man to harsh meas. ures, in dealing with tbe Ignorant and brutal of bis race. Where be baa been deprived of political power, accompauled by Ignorance, * be bas been given mechanical and luteilectul al training. r To him and to tbe North, we can make no ; reasonable defense for tbe acts of violence 1 and blood ebed perpetrated throughout tbe . Mouth, on bis race, except that tbey were . committed lo protect the property, lives and ' bouorof her people. No where is this lact i more clearly revealed tban in "Tbe Claot1 idud," and Instead of stlrrlDg up (be North against the South, it brings graphically be? fore tbe North, the mitegatlng circumstances. > 'ibet tje>re Is no (ba> m between tbe North and South today is possible, but that there was a chasm:lilled with tbe bleaching bones of our fathers, tilled with broken hearted mothers, filled with tbe crimes of unre1 strained IgooraDce, we would not forget, but rather keeping It well in mind, would extend the forgiving hand to a brother, wbo know j I iuelv has wronged us. Let not tbe siren f sopg of tbe Utopian efface lueie memories. To i tbe ceneratlons to come, viewed In any other I llfcfet than tbat of an pppressed people, our 1 conduct In tbe days ol reconstruction was 1 but tbatof tbe swindler and murderer.
