--BY % ?. THOMPSON, I). A. SMITH, ll. T. J?YNHS, Kin'OKS AN li PltOl'MliTOllS. THURSDAY, SEPT. 12, 1880. . '.?'h? Raw Conflict* , Riots and bloodshed between tho whites and blacks have recently oc curred in the six States of Texas, Louisiana, "West Virginia, Arkansas. Mississippi and Georgia. There has bce.n moro or less loss of lifo and bloodshed in all the States. These conflicts have grown, in no small de gree, out of polities, either directly or indirectly. Their occurrence has bceii mainly due to the return to power of that party which lures the negro on by false promises and in flames him by incendiary pleas. The Republicans of tho North uso tho negro simply as a tool by which ;hey hope to gain for their party a longer lease of lifo, and their chief occupation in the South has been, and still is, to array the blacks against tho whites as natural enemies. They never miss an opportunity to foment discord, and seldom neglect to make one. The supremacy of this porty in national affairs ls hay ing its natural effect in the stirring up of strife between the two races who have heretofore dwelt together in comparativo peace and quiet in this highly favored Southland. During the administrations of Presidents Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, and more especially under Demo cratic rule, thc race problem* was fast solving itself. In peace and tran quillity thc two races were moving on to prosperity, and there was neither turmoil, excitement, nor con flict. But the election of President Harrison brought a ell ango over the spirit of our dreams. That ?lection marked the return to power of a party whose every interest, is antago nistic to the dominent sentiment and abiding faith of the Southern people. And tho gravity ot' our situation to-day cannot be overestimated. I With some of the negroes elated and inflamed by Harrison's victory, and some ol' the whites depressed and embittered by Cleveland's defeat, we are not to be surprised at moro or less conflict, riot and even bloodshed. Hut our condition is indeed seri ous, and there is the greatest need that wise heads and cool counsels should prevail, lest the problem will not reach a safe solution. There must bi' the steady ami constant re pression of quick temper by the pas sionate, as well as the enduring pa tience, fort il ndc and self-control which has thus far so eminently dis tinguished our people in bearing the many insults and outrages wantonly heaped upon thom by the Republi can carpet-baggers, who, during the dark days of reconstruction, were herc to do tho bidding of this Iniquitous parly, by manipulating thc ignorance of the negro with the skill of a demagogue. And it is with sorrow we note that the same spirit seems lo be inspiring all the South ern appointments ol' importance made by President Harrison. Take our own Slate, and the important federal ollieos are lilied willi carpet baggers, who have come Soul h since the war. Ami what is true of us, is true of thc whole South. Whcro is the native Republican who is sitting in any high pince and administering t)tp affairs of on." great government for the Southern peoplo? Such a Republican as Goa. Longstreet, of Georgia, is passed by in contempla tivo silence, and thc rich political chicken pic is served for a carpet bagger. Why is it so? Tlu' reason is plain ! none bul (he carpeUbaggcr can be so tloaf and dead to the wel fare and prosperity of the South as to scatter firebrands broadcast among the negroes. The native Republi can yet has some feelings ol" huma nity left ; he cannot go to the foul and desperate length of the carpet bagger in appealing lo thc ignorance, passion and prejudice ol' the negro; he has some sympathy with the overwhelming sentiment Of tho South-perchance some friends and relatives who are wedded lo tho su premacy of good government-and hence he is served and shelved by an appointment to some petit post Office or marslmlship, or worse still, given nothing. As a cause must always produce an effect, so this status produces of necessity irritation, friction and con flict, which gb far to palliate and ex cuse tho occasional outbreaks of in dignation and resentment. But it behooves our peoplo lo keep cool and maintain their rights as well as their own self-respect. Never did we stand more sorely in need of wisc and prudent leaders, possessed of patient and conservative heart;!. Wo must battle for the supremacy of good local government, whether or not the Republicans capt uro the fed eral oflices in a few Congressional Districts throughout the South. Wo can much better afford to give up federal representation than submit to thc re-establishment and control j iVWMM.ii ? n Pir ? ? un-'mi mi i i i-f MMHM?M*MftaM?B?M??tfMMMAmaM of negro rulo in our State govern ?nent?. Til a lengthy ami well considered art icio on tho moo problem tho At lanta Consfilution, of thc 8th instant, says truly and well : Tho South has a problem to solve, the like of which iq people over had boforo. ?lt is hers to carry two rucos, of radically different typo,':, nearly equal in numbers and equai in civil and political rights, side by r'dn, in peace and honor. That is a problem without parallel or precedent. Many believo that it cannot bc solved-but that, in ?pito of patience and mutual forbearance and tho uttermost wis dom, chaos .and war must come. One of tho vitest and bent o? men said: "1 see but three possible ways out of it-Colonization, amalgama tion, and extermination. The hist is well-nigh impossible; tho second, hideous; the third, appalling !" . ?K * * * * What is thc duty of the South? How eau she .host settle this problem, beset with such dither. Ities? She must maintain be political, as well as thc social, integrity of tho white race. Sho must keep it com pacted. She must sacrifice every political or economic difference, rather than divide its solid ranks. She must determine that, at all hazards, she will provont th?' domina - tion of thc black race, that was once put in deminntion over us. That the white race shall control, and that neither through division in our ranks, not through the power of money of others, shall the control of the blacks bc re-established. Let us make it plain that il i.; not the hope ol do minion or power, but an abiding ne cessity-not spoils or patronage, but plain self-preservation that holds the white people of the South together. That it is not sectional prejudice, but a sectional problem, that bolds us compacted. * * * # it There is another duty that is press ing. Wc must hold the friendship and thc confidence of the negro. We must convince him that he, most dependent on the bounty and pro tection (d' government, will lind that most fully guaranteed, when tho property and intelligence of tire South are in full control. We must make bim known that his best friends are the people with whom his lot is east, and whose peace and prosperity de pend absolutely on his contentment and co-operation. Wo must give him justice, measured in (hat fullness, which the strong should always give to the weak. We must win not only his confidence and friendship, but tho approving verdict of the world that at last nu; .t help us and judge us. In appealing for the patient tol erance of mankind, and especially of our brothers ol' the North, while we deal with this problem, we must show that wc deserve what wc ask for, and without which our very best ef forts will bo weakened and (?ur vin dication postponed. *. * * * * Xever did the South ticed more sorely (han to-day wise and prudon? leaders, and patient and Conserva tive hearts. Not that a singh; righi that is essential, or a single sonti inent that is precious, should be compromised or surrendered. At any sacrifice, and in all despite, we must defend whal involves mir social and political integrity. This wo will ?lo, as we have done for twenty-live years. The lesson she should learn in Ibis critical hour is not-courage, for that runs with her blood, but it is-patience and self control ! These she must learn thal she may still tho rising temper of the quick and pas sionate-that she may punish I bose who break ber laws-that she may teach Ibo lawless that law is supreme -(hat she may build up a public opinion before which a mob cannot stand-that she may do full and un hindered just ice to that ignorant and dependent race, willi which nor lot is indissolubly east and to which she owes honest and sympathetic guardianship - thal she may keep to the uttermost her plighted word in regard to this race-that she may es tablish peace and tranquillity forever -that she may turn suspicion into trust, doubt into confidence, es trangement into friendship, and Bill ion ness into proper and happy com radeship--and that At last when she has carried these I wo races, diverse though they be, side by sitie, in honor and peace, and the shallow of Ibis problem is lifted and the sunshine pour down on a happy and tranquil land, she may challenge the approval ol' (bul and man in having worked out this last ami surpassing miracle of human government ! Tho Crops. Xever before has there been such a crop of corn raised in OcoilCC County. On both the bottom and tip-land the yield is Wonderfully pro lific. The pulling of foddor has progressed very well, with the ex ception ol' too frequent rains Ins! week, but (be weather this week has been line for saving Ibis importan! product. Our farmers have certainly made enough corn to feed tho peo ple one ; ear. Cotton will make a [good average crop. Tho crop gene rally is late, and has run largely to weed, bul il is fairly well fruited, and willi a favorable fall tho yield will probably be above tho average. Small er crops, such as pens, potatoes, tte., promise ail uncommonly large yield. On the whole, we believe a fair and corred estimate will place the crops far above the average foi tho past ten years. JV. '"TTT.-. The Piedmont Fair al Allanta will open October 7 and close Xo VCmbor 7 Among thc prizes of fered are $200 for tho best twelve oars of corn of tho crop of i SS'.) and $3,000 for tho best drilled military company, competition open to the United states. -M * Never mix wood nshoa with ma nure of any kind, but apply il IO thc lund separate and alone.

C. - --. There are I,.MK; convicts in Ibo Georgia penitentiary, ?d' which num ber 203 arg under a life sentence. Good news cornea ?rom .Habitu county, Georgia, as to hov interest in ?ducation. ' Recently tho Clayton nib-Alliance passed the following re solution : Jiesolvcd, That tho Legislature uncial tho public school law and ex tend tho sessions of the public schools in this State to seven months in each your, and that tho Comptroller G Olio? ral be instructed to levy suflloicney jf tax upon tho general property in 1-ho State to meet the demands upon the public school fund made neces sary by reason of such increase. Governor Uichanlsnn has at last mustered up courage to say "No," md stick lo it, when some convicted iriminal ?inplies to his Excellency For leave of indelinitc ahsonce from mr Slate prison. Ile has recently refused to grant pardons in the fol lowing casos : S. 1). S. K?per, while, who was convicted at the November term, t88H, for Piokens County, of forging mid sentenced hy .Judge Witherspoon to one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary. Violet Brutton, colored, convicted o? arson at the October term of court for York County, in 1SS7, and sen tenced by Judge Wallace to ten years imprisonment in tho peniten tiary. 1 (ebert Wisher, colored, who was convicted of manslaughter at thc March term of court, 1887, for York Uountw and sentenced hy Judge Wallace to five year's imprison mont in the penitentiary. This is a hopeful sign and we sin cerely trust that no more red-handed criminals will ever be turned loose upon society in South Carolina by executive clemency. A-company has been organized in Charleston and will at once enter upon the manufacture of bagging froth the fibre of pine straw. The factory will be built at Summerville, twenty-two miles from Charleston, the land having been given for the purpose. Thc site is in the thickest pine forest in thc State. The Com pany have also been offered the pri vilege of gathering pine straw from i tract of territory coveting thou sands of acres, so that, the material tor thc manufacture of bagging will ?ost nothing but thc price of collect* hg and hauling it. -. ---?!.?---. Thirty-two colonists from Gorma ly arrived in Walhalla recently and viii settle near that place. This is a nove in thc right direction.
