Negroes Give Advice.
Aiken, S. C, March 6 ?The Bulletin,
issued from the Schofield colored
school, this week has the following
unique advice to colored people,
under the headl ne 4 Declarations:"
1. .Results are what the world
wants, and we should like to impress
upon our friends that long
drawn out excuses will not improve
their condition.
2. As it is becoming evident, more
and more that the negro must face
competition in every avenue of life,
he must prepare himself to be as
good a blacksmith, carpenter, etc., as
may be found in the community in
which be lives. A failure to do this
means poverty, crime etc.
3 From every community in the
South comes the testimony that selfrespecting
negroes win the esteem
and good will of their white neighbors.
Let tbi's class among our
people be increased by the thousands.
4 Poultry raising, bee culture, etc.,
auiODg the Degro farmers, mean a
step towards the higher branches of
agriculture and a departure from the
old "rut" of cotton.
5. The following counsel will do
good:
6. An effec ive campaign should be
instituted in every community against
ignorance. Combine the scattered
school bouses to central points, engage
competent teachers, establish a
small library, hold educational rallies
and the monthly farmers' institutes.
(1) Be reliable, trustworthy and
industrious.
(2) Do not buy whiskey, souff, etc.
(3) Purchase chairs, pictures,
knives, forks, other household necessities
and subsoribe to a good newspaper
with, whiskey, tobacco, cheap
jewelery and ribbon money.
(4) Do not stand on corners, loiter j
around the depot, act boisterous on
the street, crowd the court house and
patronise the excursion. You lose
self respect.
(5) Save twenty-five cents out of
every dollar you earn.
(6) Do Dot set a bad example for
your children.
(7) Buv land if only an acre, and
build homes.
(R) Do not sell your crops before
XV
they fere made.
(9) Raise your vegetables, molasS6B,
meal, etc, at home.
(10) Help establish character for
the race by comiDg to town some
other day save Saturday.
(11) Do Dot tolerate immoral
preachers, unfit teachers or any other
hindrance to progress in your community.
(12) Cultivate a high regard for
the womeu of all races.
During the receDt conference at
this colored school one man said that
he bought no hour for eleven years,
then he^bad saved enough from what
might have gone for ribboD, tobacco
and whiskey to gratify reasonable
desires, and he then bought a barrel
of fl)ur and distributed it among bis
grown children and his own household.
Another bought no meat
except jowls, and cracked the jawbones
for marrow to grease the pan,
and practice puch economics until
his savings brought bim larger means.
These were not miserly economics,
but a cboseD road to better conditions.
Both of these men now own their
farms and are prosperous is comment

Railroad Bonds in Court.
Proceedings bave been commenced
by Messrp. Shand & Shand and Melton

behalf of the holders of bonds issued
by the Fork, Saluda and Broad
River townships in Lex'ngton county
in aid of the Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens railroad to compel tbe
county treasurer and county commissioners
of Lexington county to pay
the bonds. The answer of the county
authorities, who are represented by
Messrs. Efird & Dreher, of Lexington,
and Messrs. Bellinger, Townsend
& Haskell, of Columbia, was
filed Friday, raising questions as to
the validity of the bonds and the
duty of the county authorities to levy
a tax for their payment. The testimony
will probably be taken by a
referee and the cause heard when
the supreme court reconvenes in
April.
