Sink or swim, llvo or clio, survivo or poriBb-is this thc di lo ninia to which tho pooplo of thc Koutii aro roUUCCd in lao solution ol their so-called race problom? Aro we boroft of ail expedients save tho inexora bl? ono of extermination, should tho ne gro and white man much longer inhabit this favored land? Will tho ory bi raised, "lot slip tho dog? of war, anti damned bo ho who first says, (hold: enough;" " Wo trow not. Wo cannot subscribo to any Buoh poBsimistio viow. In this issue will bo found a com mu ideation from Mr. Wm. P. Calhoun, ol Abbovillo, to which wo readily givo place, correcting ibo orion* into which, ho ?says, WO havo fallen concerning his plan, and explaining at length his idea of nogrc colonization, which, it scorns, might mort appropriately bo termed llOgro depopula tion or extermination. Now that ht ?fe's for himself what his plan is, wt can certainly tako what ho boro says tc bc true, and it will bo seen that then was but Httlo, if any, orror in our geno ral statement of his position. His ide? is, tho negro is compelled to go, poacea bly, if he will, forcibly, if ho must. Aftor calling attention to our allogct orror, ho gives us tho benefit of his Nov Moxico colonization plan, and, disavow lng tho ad vocacy o? foroiblo separation proceeds to inform us and tho world "But while this is tho case, I do not hesi tate to say, that if somo such plan ai proposed by me is not adopted, forcibh measures will be used. Every event connected with tho two races in thoSoutl points directly to tho fact that thoy can not llvo togothor; and in tho near futon tho issue will bo colonization or oxtormi nation, and th ero is no uso tn disguising tho fact." If this bo tho ultimatum, then vorilj bo must havo "tho gift of prophecy, ant understand ail mysteries, and all know ledgo," for woiail to soo how olsoho coule make such an authoritative deliverance Suroly this ?rnelo must havo had its ori gin in the subtle alchemy of his per turbed Imagination, as ho drearily dreamed of soino possible llsty-cnff be tween a negro and a white man. Let Ul hopo so, for tho good of both races. N< doubt Mr. Calhoun can point to Ulli prophecy in all faith, and sincerely say "thom's my sentiments." Aftor all, tho whole scheme is mninl; a matter of sentiment which has givoi many an opportunity of ventilating thoi visionary ideas. It lins been said by oloai lind thoughtful observers that it is tin easiest thing in tho world to start a rae war-on paper, And just so nothing i easier than to separate tho races- on pa per. But bow hard to accomplish tin thing in reality ! How will it bc done Where is tho power to compel tho sepa ration? Eolio answers, whore? It is i ni possiblo and there is no uso in deny inj or disguising this ff.ct. Somo think that because tho Indian: woro put to themselves on reservation! by tho government, tho samo thing cai bo dono with tho negro. Tho illustratioi fails to illustrate though, in the very im portant particular that tho Indian wai not a citizen, whoreas thc negro is, ant is vested with all tho rights of legal citi zouship that aro enjoyed by tho whit* man. Just hero the illustration brake! down. There is no moro analogy be tweed tho logal status of tho Indian am nogro than th ero is between tho color o their skin, thc one being red, tho ollie: black. It is tho stubborn fact of tho nc groo'u citizenship that raises tho Impreg nable barrier to his colonization at thu late day. There might have been, ant waa, some oxcuso for advocating coloni zation before ho was sot free and vestet with all tho rights of a citizen. But th< moment be was made an American citi zen, was taken away tho right to colonise him. Tho constitutions of both tin United States and overy Stato forbid tin exercise of any such authority, anti it \ tho height of folly to talk about air such radical amendment in this rcsncc of tho organic law. . But it is said, no forced separation o tho races is advocated; that it is to bi voluntar}/, and tho negro is to bo con vlncod that it will bo to his interest t< go. But who is thus to persuade am convinco bim? Tho white man? Migli not tho ubiquitous negro reply: "Qi yourself. Now Mexico is such a lino conn try, tho white man ought to inhabit it South Carolina is good enough for m< yet awhile." And this is just about a far as tho voluntary separation of tin races would go in practice. Tho Now berry Herald and News woll says: "Tho Moses who is to lead this gran exodus, is still in Midian, and we arl a?iaid il will bo a long timo boforo lu makes his appearance" Truo, a good many might and wouh go, but when wo consider tho immens multitudes of negroes in tho South, am tho ratio of their rapid increase, tin number who would go voluntarily wouh scarcoly bo missed, even should they ill Now Mexico to overflowing. Wo ar freo to admit that any plan of separatio] which would not bo compulsory wil nover accomplish tho desired omi. I must necessarily bo compulsory to b practical. No law without a compulsorj sanet ion can bo moro than a mere prc ccpt. To legislate against crime and no prescribo its punishment would bo fu tilo; and just so to legislate for tho sepa ration of tho races without tho constitu tional power to onforco it, would bo fool ish. Whenever it is made clear that th negro can bo legally compelled to gc then, and not until thou, need we loo for a solution of tho vexed negro prol lom by a separation of tho two races. Wo boliovo Hon. .f. S. Cothran, on distinguished member of Congress, ul terctl tho truth in his recent address a Seneca, when bo said, "Tho negro i boro, and ho is hore to stay." This is stubborn fact, and thc d?sire, of any t tho contrary cannot change it. Then foro wo should look in some other diret tlon for tho solution of this knotty quot Hon. Lot thoro bo fair and honest dca ing, tho ono with tho other, and, throng tho orderings of Divino Providence, th problom will solvo itself. /*s a docile wage-worker Mic negro J unequaled by any people- on tho faco of tho earth. Tbo whito man of tho South knows and appreciates this. It is thc ne gro mainly who tills tho largo ootton arid rioo Acids. Thero aro many dis triots, somo oven in our own State, whore heat and malaria make it well-nigh im possible for the whlto mau to livo and labor. In these tho negro thrives. By tho labor of his hands our groat lines of railroad havo boon constructed. Ho is by nat ore a) tower of wood and a drawer of wator. By pationco with his faults, and fair treatment, thc white <?nn can make him in tho futuro, as in the past, tho best of laborers. Ho sor vos tho South to-day in another rospect: Ho stands as a barrier botweon us and tho hordes of anarchists, social ists, communists and nihilists, who aro flooding tho Nor thorn ' and Western States, and menacing their wolf aro and perpetuity. Woro tho negro romovod our genial climate would attract theso dangerous foreigners in great numbers. Tho North and West to-day havo to deal with thousands of theso vicious classes, who aro avorso to existing American in stitutions. Whore in all tho alleged raco conflicts of tho South has there boen on tho part of tho negro such wicked de struction of property and deadly at tempts to tako human lifo as that of tho anarchists in Chicago and elsewhere with their dynamite bombs? Tho like has novor occurred, and never will, if the ne? gro is fairly treated. But it is said thoro will bo a raco war, and in tho noar futuro tho issue will bo colonization or extermination. No such thing ; it cannot bo. Should a f ow bla tant idiots among tho whites and blacks sock redress of their grievances in shot and shell, in less than n fortnight tho ar mies of tho Republic would appear on tho .scene and tho would-be belligerents would hie thom to their homes. Tho Govornmont cannot afford, and it novor will pormit, tho people of any section, bo thoy white, black or red, to fro to war with each other for any cause or pretext. So wo need not givo ourselves much con corn along this lino of a possiblo raco war. Wo shall novor smell tho smoko of any such war. Tho thing will novor bc, tho prophecy of Mr. Calhoun to tho con trary notwithstanding. To somo it will doubtless bo a soro disappointment that they cc lino t unturi tito banner on sueh a battlefield. But doomed to disappoint ment they surely arc, so long ns Um "Star Spangled Halinor" waves over tho homes of tho "free and land of tho bravo"-so long as this great govoin mont is ablo to fulfill its g naran fee of protection to thu humblest American citi zen of his lifo and limb, regardless of race, color or previous condition. Hut you may ask, what then aro wo to do with tho negro? What is tho solu tion of this problem? Truly, it is not ours to say, further than tho faithful dis charge of duty and responsibility, tho ono to tho other. "Duties aro ours, events aro God's." "Hosponsibility," said Edward Uulwor (Lord Lytton), that heaviest word in all our language" "Duty," said Hebert E. Leo, in still higher strain, "that noblest word in all our language." And while, as tho supe rior race, it is ours to carry in pcaco and honor, tho inferior, lot us preserve tho consciousness of having dono our whole duty, leaving tho result to Him who do otb all things well. Wo concur with tho viow of Hov. C. B. Galloway, D. D., of Mississippi, Bishop'of tho M. E. Church, ? nulli, ns expressed in a rccont inter view at Memphis, Tenn., on tho "race question." Ho said: "I regard the raco difficulties as exag gerated. There havo boon somo unfortu nate conflicts, but in most cases they havo boon precipitated by tho worthless classes of both races and under tho in tluonco of liquor. Last year I spent throo mouths in tho dischargo of my offi cial duties on tho Pacilic coast and I had the opportunity to study tho Chincso problem. 1 carno to tho conclusion that tho negroes aro far moro valuablo as li* . borers, and add moro to the wealth, mo rals and general prosperity of the coun try than tho Chincso. I bolievo that tho school house and the church-the bible and tho spelling boole- -aro the most po tent factors In tho Southern problem. Whatever inmi- iato rcliof may bo HI - cured by logislf ?ion, tho Anal solution of tho question must come of education and Chrb't-'anity." Gov.

Editors Keowee Courier : In your Issue of tho 19th Scptombor ls au editorial headed, M Tho Negro Colonization Scheme," in which you talco issuo with mo on that aubjoct. Tho object of thiB artiolo is not to convinco you that tho position you toko is wrong, but simply to correct two errors in rognrd to my own position. You say: "Wn lin.vo ri>ad and llsl-vmil nf.fontivnlv to tho plans of colonization as presented by Mr. Wm. P. Calhoun, of Abbeville, Sonntor Hampton and others, who by ono foll stroko would romovo tho nogroos to somo distant clime, and thoro establish thom in a government oxolusivoly their owu.'; Then again you say: "That many of our oolorod population cnn well bu spared, wo readily admit,and v. ould bo glad to soo thom omigrnto to sorno favored clime, and thoro become a happy and prosperous pooplo Under their owp vino and Hg trco. but whonco tho authority to lay hold of any citizen, be ho white or black, mid against his will, carry him from ono State or Territory to another, and when tho.o say to him, .thus far shalt thou go and no farther. Abido yo boro?' " It is very ovident that you have con founded Senator Hampton's ideas with mino. I havo novar proposed to romovo tho negroes from tho South at ono "foll stroko." My plan is to colonizo tho negro by degrees, laking Ibo South, State by Stato, until tho whole negro popula tion has boon removed. Tho South could not well stand their removal in a body, and it will not bo done, unless the negroes themselves forco us to do so. As yet I have advocated no forced sepa ration of tho roc08. I distinctly staled, when I gavo my plan to tho public, that it would bo tho best thing for both races if Congress would literally givo Now Mox ico to tho nogroos and pay their way thoro; tho emigration to coinmcnco with, say Virginia, and contiuuu through tho South, State by State, allowing a certain timo for tho negroes in oach State to tako advantage of tho inducements offered, namely, a home in New Moxico freo, and freo passago to that homo. 1 further dis tictly stated that before this could bo done Congress would have lo bo given tho proper authority for doing what I proposed by such an amendment to tho constitution as tho caso required. You will seo plainly that 1 did not pro pose to " lay hold of any citizen, bo ho black or white, and against ins will, carry him from one State or Territory to an other." If any such forciblo measures havo been advocated thoy wero not used in tho articlo in which I gave my Now Moxico plan ; but while that is tho case, I do not hesitato to say that if some such plan as proposed by mo is not adopted forciblo measures will bo used. Kvery event connected with tho two races in tho South points directly to tho fact that thoy cannot livo together; and in thc near future tho issuo will bo colonization or extermination, and thoro is no use in disguising tho fact. I do not desire to soo the negro Buffer, nor do I desiro him injured. The pacific measures proposed by ino aro for the purpose of preventing extremo measures. Thc negro must and will have to go; tho question now is simply as to tho manner of his going. It will not bo many months boforo you will bo convinced of this fact, without any further argument from me. Sonntor Hampton agrees with mo that tho negro must go, but wo differ very much, it seems, as yet, as to tho manner of his going, if he has been correctly re ported by tho newspapers. With kind regards, I romain, very truly yours, WM. P. CALHOUN. Richland AMiance.

Cotton ginning is, as it appears, thc order o? the day. Our little town affords throe gins. One is run by Mr. J. O. H. Haley and the other two by Messrs. Dearden and Dickson. Each seem to be doing a profitable business. It is rumored that Mr. Lewis Jny nea contemplated running a Go vernment still on Iiis promises, one and a half miles below here. Tho Presbyterians have taken a few steps toward building a church. The site lias not as yet been lo cated, but it will bo in loss than two ' miles of this place. Nearly one hundred dollars have already been donated. Mr. li. M. Hays, the champion snake killer, has again slain a large rattler, if Mr. Hays continues his pursuit it will not be long until he rids this section of the deadly pests. Mr. J. A.

After a few seconds, he beard (be noise again and looking up he saw some thing tumbling out of a huge pine tree about forty feet.

Mr. ?. F. Keene's Prl?O Aoro of Corn?? Ylold, Modo Of Cult!vntSon, &o. T VU A LOO HOMK, Soptomber 80, 1880. DKAH COUKIEU : Having gnthorod our prize aoro of corn, wo bog loavo to present our experiment, tho onuso of BUCCCSS and failuro, comments and deductions for the renders of tho CouRiun, in behalf of all eoncorned in tho farmers' movemont of pro gressive tilliage, contestants, ?fco., &o. Wo bnvo gathered and measured carefully ono hundred and live bush els and twonty-threc pounds, struck mensuro. Though tho acre has been estimated from forty bushels to over two hundred by diffcront parties, and though wo havo tallon tar short of our own expectation, it is quite refreshing to realizo tho fact that wo havo moro good merchantable corn from one nero than wo made on our whole farm it; cither of tho last two years, having been submerged by tho floods of 1887 and 1888. Tho cultivation was almost faultless. Tho want of a machine to drop tho corn and a good hand to lay off tho rows was tho only irregular procedure that observation could detect. While we dbl not make two hundred bushols or an approximate, wo will make tho following statements, viz : Having manured very highly ( 10,000 pounds of compost of cottt seed, stable manure and land plastor, and 8,000 pounds of guano,) tho land hav ing been doeply plowed, the spring cold and di-y, the crop did not start off well until tho last of May. Tho ground was thoroughly wet. Two heavy rains from this time until the last of .> une, impeded its growth. At this particular juncture, when "shooting," silking and tossellng, tho the weather was dry until tho 24th of July. During this timo wc ex perimented a little with spraying, and on Tuesday, 22(1 July, we turned Oil a branch, but on Thursday (two clays later) the rain came, and our irrigation amounted to nothing, but an injury, as thc land where the stream ran was made too wet, causing the corn to fall down. This is the ob jection to irrigation by turning on a running stream. The ground gets too wot before it will get over the en tire land. Spraying is more like natural rain and far preferable, as the operation can bo better controlled. During this drought, ten miles below in Anderson county, tile fanners were having too inlicit rain and par tial showers were frequent, which, to gether with a press of other work, de terred us from resorting to irrigation, thinking every day it would rain. But if I had commenced irrigation in the outset of the drought, and kept it up, I believe li ring could have been prevented. One other cause of fail ure was laking in a poor sand bank for the purpose of testing thc pow i of highly manuring such land, ?..;' comparec? with rich land, and because it was not so exposed to overflow. On this sand we got :i good stalk, but no corn, very little at least. Two or three severe winds prostrated 1 and split up tho blades, preventing filling. We think the wind destroyed twenty-live bushels, taking in thc sand lpmk twenty-five, and the ''drought twenty-five or fifty, would have given a yield of two hundred bushels or its approximate. As it is, wo would have made more if there had been less corn on the land, and, perhaps, we would have made a bet ter yield had our rows been live feet wide instead of two and one half, and thicker in the drill, and had given the corn more sun light. Corn planted on the new moon grows taller, giving more foliage and less grain. Hence our high corn, some ears being nearly ten feet from thc ground. It is not a popular idea to give thc moon such an influence, but neap tides are foi med by the moon being in conjunction with the sun. So wo have faith enough in the moon to insist on planting corn on the old moon. This would have in creased our yield. Dr. Parker, of Columbia, claims to havo made two hundred bushels and a fraction on one acre, and I never have disputed the matter when any man believes that two hundred bushels were made. Orange, Judd & Co., offer their splendid journal as a premium to thc one who guesses the largest yield, or its approximate, of tho contestants thc present year. My guess is two hundred and ten bush els, three pecks, three quarts and one pint. In my effort at large yields I feel justified in making this guess, large as it is, because over as large an area as tho United St. .es and Territories sonni farmer will realize all the helps of the season mentioned in my case, and even more. In conclusion I will state that I have been on probation this year, or feel so at least, having neglected my religious, social and financial duties for my farm work, or a higher and better degree of tillage. But if I havo added one ?lcm lo palliate, ex tricate, eradicate, elucidate, fasci nate, or in nny way to ameliorate the decree of disobedience, "six days shalt thou labor," "tho bread by tho sweat of thy face," "all the days of thy life shalt thou eat thy bread in sorrow," AV., then I hope for conso lation for my shortcomings.

F. J. CHUNKY & Co,, Toledo, O, Locating tho Public Schools lu Tu Kuloo Township. M ussKS. E?iToKS : Had tho mom bora of tho Hoard of Trustees of Tu galoo Township been mombers of tho Alliance and stood to its motto, tiley would probably hnvo noted dif ferently in locating thopuplio schools. That motto is, "equal rights to all, speoial privileges to none." What a grand, sublime and beautiful motto it is-equal rights to all. It is al most akin to the Golden Rule itself. Tho Hoard of Trustees seem to have rcvorsed this motto and adopted as thou i?.?Aii? "special favors to some and equal rights to none." Speoial favors to tho little railroad towns of Westminster ami Fort Madison or lion Clovoland, as it is called ; and to tho country schools no appropria tion at all. Wo learn from history tbat Great Britain tried, without success, to make laws for and tax colonies of America without their, consent. What reason or justico is there in doing away with old estab lished schools, taking from the people tho apportionment ot public money to which they are justly entitled, for the purpose of building up th?se lit tle railroad towns and making their schools stronger ? Do these people in tho country have any voice in selecting tho teachers in tho towns? What right ha? this Board bf Trus tees to say to hi people of Green field and Hopewell, although you pay taxes, you may have your schools if you pay for them ; but you shunt have any public money unless you send your child ron to Westminster or lien Cleveland. Is not this equal rights with a vengeance? "Why, the jute trust and every othor trust pales into insignificance in compari son. There were doubtless good schools taught at Greenfield and Hopewell long before Westminster md Ben Cleveland were ever heard of. Out of the last apportionment of public money for Tugaloo Township Westminster received about one third and it is now time that tho people should cry down Buoh wholesale mo nopoly. Many of the patrons in these country schools are as able and willing, too, to pay tuition as some in the towns, but they are not will ing, and, it is to be hoped, will not tamely submit to have their rights taken from them without making some effort at redress. Thoso who feel that they have been wronged should at least show to tho world that they do not approve of, but con demn, this action of the Board. Rt C. II. A Pleasant Trip.
