though he saw something supernatural,
"Light!" and as he came Dearer
the dying moment, his countenance
^ more luminous, he cried, "Light!'

a sentimental song. If he was
I

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

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'.

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<

primitive days. They know nothing
of the fancy minor chords that tin
dudes of the cities have found on the
frets of their pretty instruments
They use but the forefinger and the
thumb on the strings, and have bui
the one movement whitfh is ail the

_ arm in measured jerks, keeping time

There is an inspiration about the
j banjo when played this way that
l goes rigi.it into tiie fceart ot a man,
and makes him say to himself, if the
banjo was not first conceived by the
negro, it certainly is easily at home
on the negro's knee.

A "bout Our Grandparents.
I
j Harper's Bazaar.
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

'A Question of State Sovereignty
From the Columbia Journal.
I T41-*^ n/iti/lin/Y nAnlvAT^vct* l\/i

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^?<M
not exiw &s it would to other credi-^BSHBB
tors.
The spirit as well as the letter of a
D1? the laws of South Carolina on this 1
*SS , 9 ^ I
question of taxes and their collection l
ue is that the party feeling aggrieved or
eD imposed upon shall obey the State's
011 order and accept her assessment, pay
ire her bill in full when presented, reservm"
ing the right to do so under protest
n<^ and to brine an action to rornvAr
?ir excess alleged as having been charged.
That puts the State in her proper
position, makes the tax payer, and
not a sovereign State, the actor in an
action for demanding redress.
01 The railroad companies would have
alf
JI had the State of South Carolina apply
le to the federal court, at Richmond for
an order directing the receivers to
u~ pay to the State the taxes in ques11
tion, and, iu fact, go so far as to say
that, in addition to its being the most
iu 0 >
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. She needs no outside
s assistance and concedes no higher
authority to check or quicken her ac:
tion than the Supreme Court of the
v United States.
