The lands are just j ^ as rich, the seasons just as pro p; pitious, the air just as pure and j p. fresh and the water runs from the j r, old sweet gum springs just as cool j }e and delightful as it used to run; fl( while the sun summer shines just as j {] warm and bright and the mocking j 01 birds have lost none of their power 1 f(] to charm the human heart with ; T I Jti merry songs from out the bush and bramble. ! Ja The same old darkies that used to wait upon their lords are ibere, many of them, and while they have large j families they have not allowed the I "newfangled city ideas" to get sway St upon the mind of the younger generation. There are few regions in the pi soitthgwhere such conditions still remain unc!u*iged. One seldom finds in the southern state today the true jS ? i)ooH' : ^ illj to iv books about iliis cla^^^^^amlled individuals' sav fhev fiTid ft tvnva | -and there, yet it is but the simple u- , truth that the genuine character ! doesn't turn up at the beck and call { of the writer every time he makes ; believe. Towering schools and coji leges for the colored freedman's |3e } children have played sad havoc with st the ranks of the 4,fo de wall" plantaus tion darkies, and with no intention of >s, ; robbing thestatesman of his taskto tell i h whether it be for the good or the ill of ,11 the republic that this is true, it may rh | just be stated here and now that the c j writer who ilraws pictures from life for it. the sake of fiction and bis reputation n- through conversations with the "ole id i time southern 'dark} had best hasten n, | with lu's task ere ho have no object of i left alive upon whom to work. They it | are going from us with their happy 'ii i solids and shouts. i ! The type of plantation darky to be h | found along the banks of the Savau } j nali today is so different in compari- j y : sou with the type of negro to he ; >r seen comuioply throughout the south j j that one would hardly know whether j | it were the same race. It ought to j be said just in this connection that \ j very few of the book writers who de- j I pend upon the old type of negro for ; j - ,r ; incir cuaraciers got tne truth from i j nature.?They fall short in the pic- I n ture anyhow. The pen of Thomas : r Nelson Page has snatched from the ; n | old Virginia darky the very words ! ,, j lie utters, and it takes no close oh | server to know that he has painted i his pictures from life as ho found it. 'l | So it is with Joel Chandler Harris. . He has not been mistaken in the man , I and has put the picture just as it was I presented. What miserable fakes are many of the plantation sonars one hears from I o j the stage nowadays! It is the same ; i way with the characters portrayed ] by some negro-dialect writers. PerL hap-, the songs of the negroes meas- j ured beside the songs they are re1 ported to sing very ofteu show the i ' widening difference between the true { J character and the fictitious character I ; more conspicuously than any other j t evidence that could be taken into ac- j > r count. A southern born man who j i has ever spent a day on a southern j farm among the darkies "of the old ! school," so to speak, would laugh to scorn the songs that the minstrels | | sometimes sing with pleadings to be i taken to their old plantations, songs which have pretty enough verses to them, but which have none of the simplicity that ready characterizes j j the true songs of the old time darkey j As a rule their songs were discon- | 1 neeted and contained but little more j than a mere jumble of ill-timed rhymes.?The old time negro couldn't ! a sentimental song. If ho was in a soiitimeiitiil mood his song would XV: bo more of ft monufnous nnmii. im !U provised with a few words murmured j W! m u low voice over and over again.

Y?1 to liim it was u i ighly sentimental song. j Lejc The chief repertoire of the old ! witt r 4 , i Oth line negro vocalists were songs of a t0 ^ ghter nature, and were- usually sung P * C t the cabin dances, where, with a rent, lightwood knot lire blazing on ? tie hearth, they would gatlmr around i x cm all the cabins of the quarter for i gm tie "hot supper" as the ball was i 2?=? tyled by them.

I WHAT ABOUT THE BANJO? It has been a much debated ques- j ^ i tion among negro dialect writers i J whether the baDjo is really very much i of a negro musical instrument, that 1 is to say, whether it was invented by 1 | the slaves and whether it was ever *s played by them to a great extent, j It has been claimed by some that | the banjo is an Arabian invention, i ^ and that it came to this country sim i ^ ply as a rude combination of hide j c and a wooden rim. It is also claimed i " j i that the negro was never much of a periormer on tne trnnjo. "Whatever might be advanced to j sustain these claiuis, the fact still re ! v mains that the prima facie evidence J is against them. J To those who have never heard ! the genuine negro banjo picker, there \ is but little doubt of at lent the i adaptability of the instrument to the race. Of course, to hear the banjo C fakir of modern times, whether his skin be black or white, would tend j [\ to disprove the commonly accepted j \\ tradition that the hnnin i* the Iiotrtvi w I i l - ? ??" '"n1" " I LI instrument, for the faked songs and j fantastic movements of the fingers S( on the strings have no smack of p plantation originality. There is the ()i greatest difference between the ban t; joist of the present day and the p banjo picker" of the past, whose J Uv songs were the life of the plantations j ], of the south. The eutiio art is [ fi( changed, and the banjo itself has : p] evoluted from a seive hoop covered i si with a sheep skin to a beautiful in ! in stumcnt trimmed with silver orna | n< incuts and covered with the finest J p] calf skin parchment such as is used j tt for the manufacture of college dip r<: lonias. J T The old negroes along the banks ' in of the Savannah river play the banjo j bi today just as it was played in its ! T primitive days. They know nothing | g; of tht1 fancy minor chords that the i h: dudes of the cities have found oil tin- jh frets of their pretty instruments, re They use but the forefinger and the 1 h thumb on the strings, jmd have but | in the one movement which is all the 1 p? , I,, limn i i .i.^Hterrmi iv from the shoulder down the in in measured jerks, keeping time th tlie seldom i hanging tune. iere is :ui inspiration about the njo when played this way that os right into tno heart id a man, 1 makes him say to himself, if the 11j ? was not first eoneeiveil hy the gro. it ecilainlv is easily at home th" negro's knee.

That puts the State in her proper tl,m' position, makes the tax payer, and ghig Uot ;i sovereign State, the actor in an who action for demanding redress. ful The railro id companies would have useli il;ld the State of South Carolina apply slll< to the federal court, at Richmond for an order directing the receivers to U pay to the State the taxes in ques 11 1 tiou, and. in fact, go so far as to say allt^ that, in addition to itsbeinc the most [J( i ) ?
