The lands are just as rich, the seasons just as pro pitious, the air just as pure and fresh and the water runs from the old sweet-gum springs just as cool : and delightful as it used to run; j while the sun summer shines just as warm and bright and the mocking birds have lost none of their power to charm the human heart with merry songs from out the bush and ? i Dram bie. The same old darkies that used to wait upon their lords are there, many of them, and while they have large families they have not allowed the i "newfangled city ideas" to get sway upon the mind of the younger generation.

If he was I | in a sentimental mood his song woul< be more of a mondtnous moan, im provised with a few words murmurei in a low voice over and over again For instance, one could be hearc singing in the melancholy dirge of i tone. I'm gwine ter leave old Gcorgy-j! I'm gwine ter leave old Georgy-y! I'm gwine ter leave old Georgy-y-y! When the sun goes rolliu' down. There were no more verses of this song, and I neu*| heard but one negro sing it. Therefore, I think it was original. It. "*ttas meaningless, save to the extent that the singer ha I a temporery grudge against his native state and didn't mind making bold to say so. Yet to him it was a highly sentimental song. The chief repertoire of the old time negro vocalists were songs of a lighter nature, and were usually sung at the cabin dances, where, with a great lightwood knot fire blazing on the hearth, they would gather around from all the cabins of the quarter for the "hot supper" as the ball was styled by them. With one to play'a lively but never turning tune on the old two dollar /* 1 11 l t r\ t" I 11 1 naaie, one to "Deal straws, ana one to call the figures of the dance and two or three enthusiasts to "rap'' or pat, the dance would go on with a half dozen or more couple3 whirling round and round, whetting out shce leather at a furious rate on the rude floor of the cabin. There it was that one heard the real negro song, original and siuion pure, such as the following: Jay bird up de sugar tree, Sparrow on de groan'. Jay bird shake de shugar down, Sparrow pass hit 'er roun'. Choros, Shoo, ladies, shoo! Shoo, ladies, shooN Shoo, ladies, shoo, iay gal. Um jest fum Sugar Hill.

WHAT ABOUT THE BANJO? a t It has been a much debated qu< y tion among negro dialect write y whether the banjo is really very mu of a negro musical instrument, th 9 is to say, whether it was invented 1 . the slaves and whether it was ev . played by them to a great exter 1 It has been claimed by seme th i the banjo is an Arabian inventio finrl f Nf?f. if. narno frt I fcMwtw IV I.UULill J mi ) I ply as a rude combination of hi( t and a wooden rim. It is also claim* . that the negro was never much of . performer on the banjo. , Whatever might be advanced 1 sustain these claims, the fact still r , mains that the prima facie eviden< ( is against them. i To those who have never hear the genuine negro banjo picker, thei is but little doubt of at leat tt adaptability of the instrnment to tl race. Of course, to hear the banj fakir of modern times, whether h: skin be black or white, would ten to disprove the commonly accepte tradition that the banjo is the negro instrument, for the faked songs an fantastic movements of the finger on the strings have no smack c plantation originality. There is th greatest difference between the bar joist of the present day and th "banjo pickei" of the past, whos songs were the life qf the plantation of the south. The entiie art i changed, and the banjo itself ha evoluted from a seive hoop covere< with a sheep skin to a beautiful in stument trimmed with silver orna ments and covered with the fines calf skin mrohment ?e ic noo/ ? ?

Judged from the standpoint of the j average child, there is nobody so de! lightful as the average grandparent. I Grandfathers are the jolliest of play ! fellows, the most charming of companions. Fathers are apt to be absorbed in business, with little or no time to devote to the amusement of their boys and girls, but grandfathers are no longer in the conflict; they can patter about, help in makingkites and building boats, tell stories by the hour 'ogether; they can syin paimze witn a "iiiiow in ms uaiiy trials and triumphs. A grandfather is very much nearer a boy of five or ten years old than his father is apt to be. He looks through older yet more child like eyes, and appreciates the boy's difficulties and tempations more readily and more truly than a younger man does. It almost seems of fimoc? oe if o man mnot l\o a nrvovwl <*i niuvo ao ix u IXJLXXX iuuot wv, u father before he entirely enters iuto the fullness of fatherhood. As for grandmothers, no family is complete that lacks one. A grandmother over the way, in the next street, in the next town, is a blessiig, but a grandmother resident in the family is a gift for which to thank God fervently. Who else is so tender, so sweet, so dear? To her quiet room, young and old bring their perplexities, to find .he patient wisdom and the ready common sense which i explain whatever was baffling, and de\ise a way in'o freedom from care.

CI OJ JLJC tween the railroad companies and tin State of South Carolina the issue: involved are of too serious charaete and consequence, the law on the sub ject too elaborate and the plain pl.u for the assessment and collection o taxes too clear to conclude that ii this instance it is passion and no judgment that prompts the unusua ftnd smniriftrv PTiinr)!5finrr tbe Executive. A question of State sovereignty is involved. A position is taken on tin one band, which if maintained, wil paralyze tbe arm of our State in th< enforcement of her laws. We arc fairly facing a grave question and ? serious situation, tbe result of which will make its impress and materially effect tbe administration and enforcement of our laws iu tbe future. Entirely irrespective of party factions, with tbe present governor of the State entirely eliminated in bis per sonality, from the matter, we must consider this question with care and sincerity. It i? to be deeply deplored that ! trains chained to the tract in different parts of the State are causing i temporary cessation of traffic and a corresponding suffering and injury to consignees of freight. To say the least of it, the State has a prima facie case, and it is only | a demonstration of partisanship and , j/njuuiuc iu uoia me state, through ! her officers, entirely responsible for ' the unfortunate condition of affairs. Our morning contemporary, the j State, in an effort to dismiss this ; feature of the case from the pending ! controversy and relieve the railroads j from any portion of blame, says that I ;,it is not the wish of the railroads j that their trains are chained to the J tr. clcs and prevented from perform ing their functions, and therefore they cannot be held responsible." Far indeed, is it from their "wish" that they should be thu3 dealt with, but it is a primary principle of justice that those who ask equity must do equity?one cannot take advantage of his own wrong, nor can the plea of defense be completely established unless the party, making such claim can come into court with clean hands and evidence of not having provoked the difficulty. In the matter under consideration it is a pertinent question to ask the railrcal companies if they come within the scope of these welldefined principles. South Carolina as a soverign State has an undisputed right to eracfc laws for the levy and collection of her taxes and through her officers has the highest and most solemn right to enforce the collection of those taxes as prescribed by her legally existing and duly enacted laws. The State is acting upon her distinct nud sovereign rights and _ should not be obstructed by hostile ^ opposition which is nothing short of ' an invasion of her reserved and righteous powers. , L, We therefore deny the propsition that the federaLs^u^Jaa^? peaceful and expeditious way, it is really the only way. It should no doubt please a district Judge of a federal court of inferior 11 jurisdiction to have a sovereign State a petition him to aid her in the collech tion of her taxes and the enforcement 's of her laws. 3. The State holds that she has her o own method for collecting debts due d her, and that method and its enforcee meat is law.
