President Roosevelt's Policy. Impracticability-the motto appa rent of our present Presidential ad ministration-S6etns to be the para mount issue of to-day. Our Presi dent's attitude toward the negro has aroused a just feeling of indignation throughout the South, where the real negro element is known in its sophis ticated condition, lt is only a repe tition of a saying, grown trite by oontinued usage, to say that the President's policy is one which, _ if allowed by the people to terminate, will end in a disaster, humiliating even to Mr. Roosevelt. The way to evade the amalgamation of the two races is the most important question confronting our nation to-day. It requires only a small taxing of | our memory, and a slight rehearsal of history, to show us the inevitable result when the white man apd the negro meet on terms of equality. When tbiB is the case, what natu rally follows? A pollution and degredation of our already degene rate race. How seldom do wo find a pure typo of the original Graeco Aryan blonde*, who should be the direct ancestry of our Cnuoasian blood. We see evidences of the amalgamation of races on our streets | daily. What will be the result when this illegitimate vice is made a legal privilege ? Too horrible to think of ! Nevertheless-it is the direct result I and natural sequence of tho negro equality policy pur strenuous and obstinate Chief Executive so warmly recommends. In an articlo Written by Mr. Roose velt and published in The Forbin some time before he was exalted to tho Presidency, he says : "Our nation is that one among all nations of the earth which holds in its hand the destiny of coming years. We enjoy exceptional advantages, and are menaced by threatening dangers. And all signs indicate that we aimil oither fail greatly or succeed greatly." Now, judging by his actions at pres ent, he has evidently determined that I tho former shall bo tho case. His policy relating to tho negro is speci ally repugnant to us as Southerners because we are most directly con cerned. His attitude toward the negro has aroused feelings in the negro which, in their dormant stato, would soon have become extinot. His social attention to tho negro, crowning his insistent appointments to office, is something to bo abhorred by the loyal Southerner. His aotions have created even the sectional strife which his worthy predecessor left solvent, if not settled. What the result will be is only to bo conjectured. The natural out growth means that in a score of years tho negro will be placed on an equal basis with the white man, not only in politics, but socially ; then naturally follows inter-marriage, a mixing ano* blending of races ; then tho unhappy fate of tho Athenian degeneration, crime, debaucbey, and our proud, happy and prospero 31 Aryan blood will leave only a blot on tho pages of history and be gone I.ct. us hope for a change. Can we have this change when we h?.ve a roan in tho Presidential ohair who | "can see no canse for the South being offended," and one who says, "I will Bee Senator Carmaok in hell," etc, etc.? The people of our beloved America are waking up to the peril ous state of affairs, and the fall of 1904 will decide this all-important issue. E. I ?. Pitts. Oakway, March 12, 1908.

The suit is brought in the name of U. E.

Appli cation has been made to Judge Ern est Gary for the appointment cf. a receiver, and he has fixed the 21st of Maruh as tho time for hearing argu ments, if their be opposition to the appointment of a receiver, who is to marshal the assets and distribute the fund, according to the direction of tho Court. The complaint alleges that the Al liance Exchange is not using the money for the purposes for which the fund was collected, and on that ac count tho money should be returned to those who paid it for fear of its being dissipated. The order is brief, but the com plaint covers a great deal of ground and gives the history of the fund. The court will also be asked to hold the fund in its entirety, as the directors of the Alliance, it is stated, are not now using the fund for the original purposes. It is fun her alleged that there are debts or claims against the fund, which ought to be met, and that Borne decision should bo had as to the validity of these claims.

Wil son's-it may be interesting to some of your readers to have before them a conorete statement of what has been accomplished during four years. The district parsonage was relieved of a debt of over se\ m hundred dol lars and Brother Wilson left a small surplus in the district treasury. Our membership has inoreased ten per Cent., while that of the Conference only shows a six per oent. gain. In matter of gain in membership Cokes bury leads, Greenville being a oloso second, these two districts having furnished forty-two per cent, of the net gnih during the past four yeats. Comparing the last year of the preced ing four-1898-with 1902, which closed Rev. J. B. Wilson's term we find that the "Piedmont Brigade" have not toiled in vain. Saltine's have advanced fourteen per/ cent, contributions to missions fifty-eight per cent, payments on all Conference assessments fifty-four per cent. Tho last session of Conference made only a few Changea in the Greenville District. The new men are Revs. C. B, Smith, at Buncomb Street, Greenville ; T. B. Reynolds, Pelzer j N. L.

These little books teach the .-.hihi ron how and why tobacco in jures the nerves, the heart, the di gestion, the brain, the will-power, and the whole fabric of a growing boy. Some one writes that if all of our teachers would only conscientiously teach what our State laws require, Boon we would have a vast army of workers whioh by their numbers would make Napolean turn green with envy,"or astonish a Cromwell by their seal and devotion.

Frost has high hopes of what the militia will be able to do, and is very much delighted with the sab stsntial encouragement that is now offered the State militia through the Dick bill, which has just been en acted into law. Gen. Frost has a number of applications for equip ment, but he does not want to dis tribute any of the old style equip ment, as he hopes soon to have the new. Some years ago the government gave this State $8,000, whioh was available for equipment. Until last year the amount was increased to $18,000, all of which also has to be used for equipment. Under the Diok bill this State will get $78,000, whioh will be available foi equip ment and for a general, oamp. One reason Gen. Frost has for getting the new equipment is that under the terms of the ?ot the government will not pay for a military encampment until the militia "is organized and equipped according to army regula tions." This means that the militia will first have to be equipped with Krag-Jorgonsen rifles and will have get tho new dirt-oolored uniforms to tako the place of the-blue. Under tho provisions of the bill this State oan swap its present rifles for tho Krag-Jorgensen. Gen. Frost has 2,300 Springfield ri iles in the hands of the State militia and ac counted for, which can be exohanged for the new pattern of rifleB. This exchange oan be made upon an even basis and the swap will involve no charge to the allowance of this State, as Gen. Frost now understands the law. Gen.
