The South's Race Problem.
An Open Letter From Ex-Senator
John L. McLaurin.
Columbia State, September 11.
Mr. Wm. R Luke, Nashville, Term:
Dear Sir?Yours of August 29ch
to hand aDd contents noted. i'our
inquiry is legitimate and one to j
which you have a right to expect a
reply.
The nomination of Dr. Crum for
collector of port at Charleston was
not referred to me by the President,
nor do I recall that I made aoy recommendation
as to filling this office.
My recollection is that the Presithfi
ftnnointment I
uuu u nmuuivn vmw T~ ?~ ~
when he found there was opposition,
and, as the matter at that time was
purely local in its character, I am
satisfied that had the contest been
limited to the fitness, etc, of the
applicant Dr. Crum would not have
received the appointment, in the
face of the almost unanimous objection
of the business interests of
the city of Charleston. The color
question, however, was squarly presented,
and the President found
himself in the position where to decline
the appointment was to admit
that the color of the applicant constituted
an inseperable bar. What
a striking illustration of the ease
with which every trivial matter is
converted into a race question. The
office of Dr. Crum dwindled into
insignificance besides the other issue
involved.
It seems to me that before long a
crisis will be reached where the subterfuges
and expedients which have
Bcrved in the past will be ineffective
and this race question will have to
be met and settled squarely on its
merits. The sooner the better; each
day only adds to the complications
and dangers. Patience, couraga
and self control-, are tbe cardinal
virtues of a Christian civilization,
and when these are cast aside the
social structure itself will fall. Yet
we all know that so long as one
crime is committed lynching will
occur, this to be followed, it peeme,
by "Before day Clubs," indiscriminate
slaughter, the overturning of courts
and military. Lynching does not
lessen the crime nor does the crime
limit lynching. Tbe great underlying
questions belong to the realm
of the spiritual, where moral principals
have their birthplace and
home. Ex Gov. -Chamberlain in a
very able paper says in effect that
tbe first step is for the negro leaders
to begin a stern crusade against tjbis
crime and stamp it out and that
lynch law will disappear; be may be
right, but there is a work for both
races to do aDd there must be some
common starting point and concerted
action.
Gov. Chamberlain is a striking example
of how certainly every intelligent
and honorable northerner who
takes bis residence sooth changes
bis views and becomes more extreme,
if po9Biblp, than tOose to the "man
ner born."
Tbe danger is in just what I refer
to in tbe Crum case; no matter what
happens the issue is made one of
race. A division on race or religion
is the most cruel, deadly and dan
disease, just as the Mushed cheek
and quickened pulse only point to
the inward fever that is consuming
the patient. The rcots of the disease
lie amid the passions and errurs of
the Reconstruction period when full
citizenship was suddenly thrust
upon a race of slaves totally unprepared
for such great moral and
political responsibility. We are
only gathering the second harvest
from the seed then 3own. The first
harvest was in that sad day when
the South- to maintain its civilzation
had to igntre and defy the constitution
of the United States. We are
still struggling with the nearby
effects of our Civil war and the
heavy burden put upon both races
is beyond their strength, for new
consequences are continually cropping
up in national life.
I read with great interest a very
thoughtful article by a Mr. Thomas,
of Ohio, published in the North
American Review, in which he advocates
the repeal of certain portions
of the Reconstruction amendments
to the constitution. I do not
know, but it is posssible that we
may have yet to go back to this
question where Lincoln left it and
McKinley took it up, and as nearly
as possible right every wrong. The
constitutional restrictions of suffrage
in the States must be in harmony
with the spirit and letter of the
constitution of the United States
so long as they are not it gives the
entire machinery a sinister twitch.
Then we can safely rest upon the
only enduring feundation by making
the true test of citizenship moral and
intellectual worth applying every
restriction fairly and honestly without
regard to race or color. The
race question would disappear from
politics and when it disappeara
there it will elsewhere, &Dd not before.
The standard of citizenship
would be so high that instead of the
ballot box being regarded as a danger,
it would become the true safeguard
of property and liberty. For
30 years, forced by these conditions
in the South to vote as a unit, there
has been no room for the discussion
and settlement of honest differences
of opinion. The ballot box at a
general election has merely been a
machine registering the color of the
voter, not his political opinions.
When you take into consideration
the mighty forces at work and the
inevitable fcreDd of events I cannot
see how aDy thinker who believes in
God and rccogDizes that uplifting,
evolutionary force, ever at work
pushing Dations from one epoch into
another, can have confidence in the
makeshifts which surround us or
believe that they can loDg endure.
I know not what the immediate
future may have in store, but I believe
m our country and I know that
the democratic ideas upon which it
is founded are surely working us
toward that condition, where liberty
and justice will be the birthright of
i :? ?aii
eaCD unit. COLLipUBliJg ?uau no oan
government. I know that the race,
labor nor any other of the great is
sues of the day can ever be settled
except in harmony with the catholic
spirt of the age, and that in time
every false doctrine and flimsy pretext
which impedes this onward
march will be crushed out of existence.
Conditions are likely to grow
much worse before they get better,
Iinciple that out of chaos
ed. If some power could
e politicians of the north
; with the negro vote in
jnvention and those of the
0 "holler nigger" every
is an honest differenc * of
pel then call into a great

pn without regard to race

pa out of the wilderness
Id save much sorrow and

Cured of Lame Back After 15
Years of Suffering.
"I had been troubled with lame
back for fifteen years and I found a
complete recovery in the use of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm," says
John G. Bieher, Gilliam, Iod. This
liniment is also without an equal for
sprains and bruises. It i9 for sale
by The Kaufmann Drug Co.
Secretary Hester of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, says that
South Carolina made 825.000 bales if
cotton last year against 950,000 the
year before. The crop of 1903-01
was the most valuable on record.
The average was ?61.38 per bale
against ?14 52 the year before. The
total value of the crop was $617,501,548.
Three Jurors Cured

Bottle of Chamberlain's Colic.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Mr. G. W. Fowler, of Hightower,
Ala, relates an experience he had
while serving on a petit jury in a
murder case at Eiwardsvilie, county
seat of Clebourne county, Alabama.
He says: "While there I ate some
fresh meat and some sous6 meat and
it gave me cholera morbus in a very
severe form. I was never more sick
in my life and sent to the drug store
for a certain cholera mixture, but the
druggist sent me a bottie of Cham|
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
j Remedy instead, saying that hs had
I what I sent for, but that this medi|
cine was so much better he would
rather send it to me in the fix I was
I ia. I took one dose of it and was
better in live minutes. The second
dose cured me entirely. Two fellow
jurors were blllicted in the same
manner and one small bottle cured
the three of us." For sale by The
