Tabor, May 2? -Messrs Editors: We will oudoavor to drop you a few thoughts and topios from our livo and progressive oommunity. We t eni i zo that such a livo and interesting burg HS ours ought to be represented iu an un-to-date paper like Tlie Kooweo Courier. Wo wish that you would toll the weather man to soud the people on Tuga loo a nico rain, ns our orops aud small graiu would bo greatly improved by tho same. * The majority of our farmers aro through thinning tlfteen-cont cotton, and will uow turn their nttoution toward their iu8iguitlcaut crop of corn. Cotton ia king here now, but corn is qunou and next fall it will bo vico vorsa. Wo note that ono of your scribes quoted a trustee as saying thu', a community was judged by the churches, school houses and cometerles. While our ohurohes aro not so flue, they aro sub stantial and oomfortablo, our cemeteries servo their purpose well, but whon it comos to school houses wo havo a lot to be proud of. Wo havo a modern school building, with all tho latest school fix tures and appliances, such a? charts, slated blackboards, dictionary and patont dosks. All that wo need now is for our three truRtoes to put their three IIOIUIH togothoi and secure for us aa up-to-date and modern teacher. Wo havo the funds to run a school niue months in tho ear, and it is up to the trustees to let us avo it. Mrs. Robt. Hall is quito sick at tho present writing. We hope to have the pleasure of seeing thia excellent lady enjoying her usual health ere long. Hon F. Knox, postal clerk between Atlanta aud Greensboro, visited his parent? and bomefolks on tho 22d and 28(1 instants. Hon is looking well and is enjoying tho best of health. Our junior sot aro somewhat scattered to-day. Some aro taking in tho Sunday School Convention at South Union; others Beom to have a bigger attraction at Mullln's Kord, (ia., while some have geno np to enjoy tho singing, dinner and soenery at Old Liberty. Alfred, Homer and Miss Effie Tannery aro visiting their sister, Mrs. J. I). Driver, of Westminster. The Sunday school at. this place is flourishing under the efficient manage ment of our Superintendent, E. C. Tan nery. We hopo that tho community at large will concentrate their efforts and strivo to havo an extensive as well as an intensive Sunday school. Wo know of nothing bettor for the unod of a settle ment than a livo, progressive Sunday school. The cheese factory at this place is turning out cheese three times a week. If all tho stock holders had as much pluck and tenacity as the manager, W. A. Singleton, it could not help but bo suc cessful. Tugaloo is looking dry and little since Uncle .lake Cook has been talking for prohibition and dry counties. Mr. Cook, that school fund comes in handy and thc majority of our people's consciences do not trouble them on account of using it for tho benefit of our public schools. We do not aim to criticise Mr. Cook's views on this matter. Wo dread that pen of his, and we know how well he uses tho same in repartee, but since poo plo havo had intoxicating drinks ever since tho timo of old Father Noah, and will continue to have it till tho end of time, we fail to seo any better solution of the liquor traffic than thc dispensary. Maine is a shining example of a prohibi tion State. Wo wonder what these peo ple do.in tho case of snake bites? Steno. The Wright Reunion. Messrs. Editors: It was my happy privilege to attend a reunion of our branch of the Wright family on May 14th at the beautiful nome of Willie Moore, at tho right of old Pendleton. This honored branch descended from William Wright, a Confederate soldier, who gave his life with his eldest son, John Seal Wright, 111 honor of his coun try, leaving his widow, whoso maiden name was Morris, with a largo family of girls and small boys to battle tho hard ships of lifo .is best they could. Hut this heroic woman was equal to thc occa sion. Well do 1 remember tho morning when some of those fatherless children passed my father's on their way to tho Pendle ton cotton mill, now owned by Col. A. .J. Sitton, to outer as apprentices in the art of manufacturing cloth, beginning at tho bottom round of the ladder with an aim of reaching the top. Walter Wright has, by close attention to business, ol i ra bed stop by step until to-day doubtless there is not another superintendent of any cotton mill bis superior. For forty years his keen ear has been taught the mean ing and changes of hums of the vast ma chinery of the mills. Ho is now the honored superintendent of tho Clinton cot'on mill, and as he was desirous to see his connection, by his request this reunion was gotten up, which proved a success. On tho morning of tho 14th 1 harnessed my hoi so, named after the hero of sev enty-six, to my carriage and, with several others, wo wended our way to thc above named place, reaching there at H o'clock. As wo drew in sight quito a number of vehicles and well fed horses and mules, with men, women and children, greeted our eyes. As we drew nearer sweet muslo from a number of well trained voices greeted the ears that were ready to catch the sweet melody as it wafted on tho breeze. When we reinod our horse in tho grovo in trout of this beautiful homo, quito a number of familiar faces wero visible, but a large number of the younger generation were unknown to us, but tho hoarty welcome with which wo were received soon dispelled all bashful ness and wo mingled with tho happy throng as joyous as they- An old and honored gentleman from Qroeuville, David Moore, father of W. D. Moore, F. A. Mo? re and C. A. Moore, graced the occasion with his presence. Mr. Moore is hale and hearty for ono of his ago, who has passed man's allotted time, yet it is observant, that his frail hark is DORI lug the eternal shorns. When wo entered the parlor we saw there upon tho wall a life Size photo of tho noble and faithful mother of this branch of tho Wright family, who a number of years ago passed over into the beautiful land. J. W. Godfrey and wife, of Greenville, C. W. Mooro, of Saluda, .1. W. Wright, of Laurens, Herry Mooro, C. A. Moore, H. C. Wright, J. I). Caine, N. A. Queen, J. A. Camp bell and families, from Oconeo, Mrs. C. Klrod and family, Mrs. 8. Kay, T. 0, Monis, W. K. Scars and families, with others, from Anderson, were present. After sponding sumo time in pleasant conversation and listening to sweet music, dinner was announced. Under tho lat go spreading oaks a long table, well tilled with all that heart could wish for to sat isfy a hungry appetite, wan there. 1 need not toll you I did Justine to the viands beforo me, for there wore plenty of witnesses to the fact. Just as wo tin is hc(' dinner and got tho bankets put away a heavy and much needed rain fell, for which the farmers were thankful. Tho rain only lasted a short time, then the sun carno out and everything passed off pleasantly. Though my sympathy wont out to a young husband whose beautiful bride, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herry, Moore, was not present to fill his cup of joy to overflowing, for Cod had bid her como up higher. The hour of Reparation hud arrived and wo hado each other good bye, thinking that some of us mi" Iii nover meet again in an earthly reunion, but all aro invited to that reunion from which thine will bo no more separations and whero our Father in heaven han prepared an etornnl foast for all His childr( n.

Priesthood In t The Meridian (Miss.) Evening I Star published on May 4 a reply to i Bishop Galloway's address by Dr. j B. F. Ward, as follows : Bishop Galloway, in bis great ora tion at the Southern Educational Conference, steps to the front as the competitor of Roosevelt and Booker Washington in defeuding the South ern negro against the imaginary wrongs inflicted upon bim by the Southern white man. The "hot air" utterances of the partisan politician are not more oalorifio than the fervid eloquence and the blood red phrases of the Bishop. He says "we must insist that the negro have equal op portunity with every American citi zen to fulfill in himself the highest purpose of an All-Wise and Benefi cent Providence." A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY. No man is denying to the negro any inherent right of legitimate privilege. This government, with all its history, civilization, institu tions and achievements, is the herit age of the white man. The negro did not-discover it ; he did not con quer it; ho did not purohnso it; he (lid not form its constitution and laws; he did not build its literature, nor projeot or execute any of its enterprises. Nations and races, like families and individuals, are entitled to only what they lawfully inhorit or rightfully acquire. The negro brought no laws, library, learning, nor material inheritance to this coun try, and having evolved or con structed none of these things for himself, he is inoapable of maintain ing them if given him by another. Ile ia, thorofore, fortunate in tho possession of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness under thu laws mado and exeouted by white mon for tho control and gov ernment of white men. Ile is un warrantably arrogant whon he de manda more. The white man who elaine* moro than this for him is cither unreasonable and illogical profoundly ignorant of the philosophy of history, or unfaithful to his birth right and unworthy of his lineago. TUM NEO HO NOT DISCONTENTED. Tho Bishop say B "thero is no dis guising tho fact that thero is great unrest and growing discontentment among tho negroes of the South." This statement is a gilded gauze of truth over a dark back-ground of pernicious error and profound misin formation. Why this "groat unrest?" They aro well fed, well paid, well protected, and work or play, or steal, according to tho suggestion of their own unbridled will and liberty of action. All other races on earth have had to fight for life, liberty and property ; but all these blessings have been bestowed upon thc negro without effort, or sacrifice, on hie part. In all the wide range of his tory every other race has paid for its education or done without it ; but thc education of thc negro coste him practically nothing. It is wrung from thu toil and sweat and self abnegation of the white man and thc white man's children. The Bishoi: says "the negroes are beginning tc feel friendless and helpless." Thu is a flagrant misrepresentation of thc negro. He is not "friendless ami helpless," and no one knows it bettet than the negro. Tho Bishop says "there are few negroes in my native State of Mississippi, owners of prop erty, who would not sell out at a fail valuation." This is a gratuitOUf proclamation, without foundation ir fact, or semblance of certification-t bid for Northern applause and North ern sympathy at the expense of thc truth or current history. But admit that it is true, what would the Bishoi; have us do about it? Ho sayt "many of the thriftiest and most coir servative feel that sentiment is sc hostile to their race as to make theil values insecure." THIRTY-FIVE Y EA HS OF FREE SCHOOLING. If such stupidity as that is tlx result of thirty-fi vo years of fret education it is time to let them go or pay for their own schools. Tin Bishop says "wo need not close om eyes to the inevitable. We are sooi to face industrial disaster unless con ditions are radically changed." Hov, changed ? The negro already hai every opportunity, except social anc political equality, * in Mississippi These are the only changes to bi "radically" made in his favor. Tin Bishop says "our cotton lands wil lie fallow, and our fertile fields wil cease to yield their valuable staples.' Not unless the negroes are stampedec by "fire alarm," Bishop, for they an now peacefully nt work, happy am contented, or wrapped in tho deep dull slumber that cornea of wei stored stomachs, and their drcnmi are no longer disturbed by hu i.In ?? visions of Vurdaman militant. Tin negro has not been to free schooli tor thirty years for nothing. The] fully understand how thc laboi exodus racket waa worked by th? Bishop and those who believe in hit divinity, to intimidate landlorda am to influence vote?: TUM QUESTION OF WHITE SUPREMACY The Bishop says "the old cry thai white aupremaoy may bo impcrillec is a travesty on Anglo-Saxon chiv airy"-another lightning fringec thunderbolt of bombastic ignorance White aupremaoy has not only boot imperilled in the South, but it hat been ruthlessly overthrown, tramplet in the dtiat and stamped into th? very mire and filth and stench ^o negro domination. What has beet done once can be perpetrated agair by tho same forces. We wero thc Bams Anglo-Saxons then that we an now, only more so. The Biahopsayi "thia ia no question for 'small poli, ticians,' but for broad, patriotic statesmen." No question, we pre sume, for "small politicians" like Money, George and Governor Vania man ; like Tillman and Carmack and Gormad, but for broad, patriotic statesmen like tho Bishop and Theo dore Roosevelt, for instance. He wants "a patriot with tho prescience of a statesman, the vision of t prophet and the soul of an apostle tc point out tho path." What are wc to do while wo await the advent oi thia American Moses? This hero ol ecclesiastical fiction ? Has it ovei occurred to him that tho unbiased concentrated, practical sense of thc common people, who are in daily ami hourly contact with this problem may bo entitled to sonic considera' tion ? Tho pcoplo aro not only tin source of all the power, but very nearly the source of all honesty and wisdom in governmental policies After the exorcise of profound thought and deliberation, tho people of .Mississippi have spoken on tim question, and tho greater part of the honest and conscientious minority. if Mississippi ..AsiiH?t th? Pe? ?I? ho Civil and Political tho State." r?y^jrj^^w3fMm MUM ? *y like brave and true patriots, are beginuing quietly to recognise the good judgment and patriotism of the majority. Unfortunately, however, the people, who, for the first time, S had the opportunity to think and act ' for themselves, deliberately and rourageouslv ignored tho protest and high counsel of the Bishop, and he is, consequently, irreconcilable ; though the "augel of peace" aud the "boru of plenty" are abroad in the land. "NO A um roon ADV IN CKIMK." The Bishop is doubtless earnest in his error and sincere in bis vagaries. Admiration, homage and material prosperity beget in tho best of men a lofty self-esteem, as well as impa tience of antagonism. He is a man whose learning is greater than bis vanity ; whose usefulness in not de stroyed, though crippled by his rest ive ambition and the turbulence of his unripe political ideas. He mixes a great many truths with the soph istry of his well dressed oratory, but they are so self-evident and so gene rally accepted that they smack of academic declamation, and amount to a little moro than a play upon platitudes. He says, for instanoe, "the negro must bo granted the eqiial protection of the law." Of course he must, nnd is. Ile sa)s "lhere should be no aristocracy iu crime." Certainly not. But why emphasize these and many othor similar promi ses in a great public address, unless such solemn uttorancos oarry with thora a covert insinuation that there really exists in the courts of Missis sippi an "aristocracy of orirao" and lhat the laws arc not equally onforced against white and black alike ? If no such meaning is conveyed, then the orator has indulged in a great waste of language. He says "the white fiend is as much to bo dreaded as a black bruto." Does he intimato by this that bad white men aro as great a monaco to tho honor of our women as beastly negroes ? If not, what does ho mean ? He says "we have reason for real alarm at tho phenomenal growth of the spirit of lawlessness." He believes that edu cation elevates tho negro and dimin ishes criminality ; let him through tho agency of thirty thousand negro schools, maintained by whito people, eliminato tho ghastly and horrible crime of rape and lawlessness among white men will vanish in a night. As a renowned representative of the Man of Galilee, he should striko at the root of the evil. Tho outlawed rapist hnB engendered all the mob spirit of tho South. Tho Bishop says "I have it as my deliberate judgment that there is never an oc casion when the resort to lynch law can bo justified, however dark and dreadful tho crime." Absalom did not await "duo process of law" when his sister was violated, but bade his servants to "kill" the rapist, and King David, though "a man af te God's own heart," did not enforce the law against Absalom. When tho Benjaminite, Gibuah, violated and murdered tho concubino of th Lovite, tho children of Israol gath ered themselves together and wept, and asked counsel of tho Lord and "God said, go up against him, and they went. Throbbing with tho spirit of a red-handed mob they "went up against" Benjamin and wiped him from tho faco of thc earth without "duo process of law." WU AT TUB SOUTH HAS l'A ll) KOK NKOKO EDUCATION, Thc Bishop says that education has diminished the criminality of the negro. Such an allegation |fl not] debatable. Tho actual observation and sad experience of tho whole peo ple of tho South aro entitled to greater credence than statistics, or the speculation of zealous, but theo retical theologians. The Bishop says "all the resources of the school should bo exhausted in elevating the character of tho negro, improving his condition and increasing his capacity as a citizen." He then admits that tho white people of the South aro supporting 30,000 free schools for negroes ; that wo have expended of our own scant earnings, in the last thirty years, * 125,000,000 on tho education of the negro ami arc now giving him $7,500,000 annu ally. If this is not "exhausting" the resources of thc school, it is at least "exhausting" tho whito man's trea sury ; it is exhausting the toi' and sweat and patience of the laboring, self-sacrilicing white man, whilo it limits tho "resources" and impover ishes thc honest and laudable aspira tions of his children. The Bishop says "every lyncher becomes a law despiser and every law despiser is a betrayer of his country." Whito haired Confederate soldiers, maimed for life in tho service of their coun try ; impoverished veterans whose blood has been lapped by tho ensan guined soil of a hundred battlefields, lashed into fury and desperation by the agony of despair when a beauti ful young mother, with a cooing babe at her breast, or a tender, help less, angelic maiden has boen mur dered and mutilated by a demon of tlark damnation, have sometimes, like tho Israelites, taken vengeance into their own hands and gone "up against" the outlawed devil. Shall men like these, under such horrible conditions, bo branded and stigma tized ns "betrayers of their country" by sleek, well fed, soft handed sent i metaliatrt, ns they stand in the grand coliseum of Southern homes and Southern honor, and lift their hats to thc plaudits of Northern fanatics V j Wo decline to offer an argument in rebuttal of such a calumny, hut wo counter tho cruel and unkind thrust with tho declaration that a Southern white man, who in face of such atrocity, would not respond to th? battle order of Johovah and "go up against" him without shuttling and hesitating about a "duo process of law" is a traitor to tho blood of his ancestry, a disgrace to Southern mai ihm il and unworthy to claim guardianship of a Southern woman's honor. nisiioi* GALLOWAY'S OTHER GREAT SPEECH. Wc cherish no unkind sentiment towards tho Bishop. We respect liim for his many virtues and honor bim for his just purposes, while we rleplore his distempered viows of tho Southern situation. The distorted views und jaundiced tomper that filter through tho famous oration of Bishop Galloway, at Birmingham, will oxoite little surprise when it is remembered that on another and far greater occasion, in his "native State >f Mississippi," ho was seleotod as me of the principal, if not tho chief )rator of this memorable and historio lay, and was equally unfortunate in lie taste and historical propriety of .is otherwise magnificent effort. The 8d of June, 1008, tho natal day sud logical day un wiuu? lo lay ibo oorner-stoue cf Mississippi's majeatio uapitot, that ia ex peeled to eni?re for centu ie? and t?.stand aa a menu meot, it? nert, to the meir >ry of Mitsis*?t?pre gts?ete*t ?nd most re nowned citizen; Thousands " ' Mis sissippi's bravest sons and >niresi daughter? had assembled, to witness this grand, soletnu and imposing cere mony. This eager and expectant audienoe reasonably contemplated that the distinguished speaker would marshal in review before them such characters, epochs and events a? had contributed to the growth, grandeur and glory of the Commonwealth. State pride, common consent of all patriotic Mississippians, and the spontaneous suggestion of the hour, all conspired in accord ina the seat of honor to the memory of President Davis. And yet, to the life, charac ter, eventful history, comprehensive career and marvellously splendid reoord of this citizen, scholar, histo rian, soldier, s'atesman, Senator,] cabinet officer, Chief Executive, sac rificial hero and Mississippi planter, Bishop Galloway hasjrlly and laconi cally accord od exaotly twenty lines of his lengthy address, and passing on, devoted more than five times that amount of time and spaoe to the negro, who had nothing to do with the history of Mississippi ; who, in fact, wan an unbidden and unwel come guest at the historical banquet, notwithstanding be was introduced and chaperoned by Bishop Galloway. If, instead of all that appeared in bis | published spoeoh about the negro, he had left a blank space and written across it, "Ten Years of Negro Rule," he would have epitomized all that was necessary to have been said about the connection of the African race with the history of thin proud and potential State. TIIK IlISHOr's K K Knits KUM. OK KVIL I'OSSUUI.ITIES. The prestige of Bishop Galloway, especially with the ecclesiastical world, invests the boldness of his errors with far reaching possibilities of evil. If such unnatural convic tions as he expresses should find ex tensive and permanent lodgment in tho minds of tho people North and South, the result would be hideous in the moral trend of racial relations and disastrous to white civilization. Impelled only by a stern sense of duty as a white mau and a citizen, we nave reluctantly challenged the integrity of his declarations and the logic of his deductions. As an hum ble and unpretentious advooate of tho white man's government; in de fence of the sacred heritage which, in the wisdom of omnipotence, has descended from tho morning of crea tion to the children of the laboring I white man, we take the liberty of solemnly warning the young men of Mississippi against tho perils of priesthood in tho civil and political autonomy of tho State. B. V. Ward. The Negro Sociologically. "I have heard from several Atlanta ladies of their experience with negro women taught at Booker Washing ton's school at Tuskegee, and have been told that women educated at this school are totally unreliable as servants." This statement was made by Dr. J. C. Olmsted, a prominent physi cian of Atlanta, at the meeting of the Georgia State Sociological So ciety in Atlanta recently, and among others of similar nature, which pre cipitated a lively discussion at the meeting. Tho discussion at the timo followed tho reading of a papor by Dr. W. T. Jones, of that city, on "Tho Reliability of tho Negro/' Another statement, made by Dr. Olmsted, was that the negro was "better off mentally, morally and physically as a Blavo." A number of the delegates to the meeting of the Sociological Society took part in tho discussion, among thom being the Rev. C. A. Langston and Dr. T. E. Oertel. Dr. Oertel characterized himself as a "recon structed Yankee" and spoke on tho subject of the "Negro as an Agent for the Spread of Disease." Nervous Dyspepsia Cured by Rydale's Stomach Tablets.

A musical composer, who was about to bring out a work whioh has since beooine celebrated, was asked by a newspaper correspondent if he might be present at the final re hearsal. When the composer ex plained that this rehearsal was to be private, the journalist returned that he wished to send an uuount bf the performance to Paris, and that if he were not admitted to the rehearsal, his paper for the next day would not give its readers a favorable idea of the new composition. Tho great musioian loo . .1 him over without seeming to be n1 rrued by this threat. "Yes," he said, "but I do not write for 'the next day.' " Too many of us in our work keep our eyes fixed upon the morrow. Our plans never renoh further than our present needs or our present enjoy ment. We hardly realize that we have any responsibility to the future, any share in the big problems that are to be worked out.

There is a striking story of a mis sionary who was sent for on one oc casion, to go to a little village in an out-of-the-way corner of India to baptise and receive into ohurch fel lowship sixty or seventy adult con vert? from Hinduism. At the commencement of tho pro ceedings he had noticed a boy about fifteen years of ago sitting in a back corner, looking very anxiously and listening very wistfully. He now oame forward. "What, my boy! do you want to join tho church ?" "Yes, sir." "But you are very young, and if I wore to receive you into fellowship with tho church to-day, and then you were to slip aside, it would bring discredit upon this church and do great injury to tho cause of Christ. I shall bo coining this way again in about six months. Now, you be very loyal to tho Lord Jesus Christ during that tim?, and if, when I come again at the end of tho half year, I find you still steadfast and true, I will baptizo and receive you gladly." No sooner was this said than all the people rose to their feet, and some, speaking for the rest, said, "Why, sir, it is ho that has taught us all that wc know about Jesus Christ." And so it turned out to bo. This was thc little minister of the little church, the honored instrument in the hand of God of saving all the rest for Jesus Christ.-Wellspring. . # * The Tost of Strength. "I am bewildered and puzzled by the problems of my lifo just now, saul a man who was going through a season of temptation and trial, to a Christian friend. "I have prayed for strength to conquer, but it does not seem to come. I am fighting on tho best I can, but the strength which you say God promises to those who fight for him is not given to me. Why is it?" "Are you sure that strength is not being given to you ?" asked the other. "Not strength enough to conquer just yet, perhaps, but strength enough to keep fighting. That is tho true test of strength. Many a saint of God has fought sin all his life, and been staggered by thc problems of existence, and never solved them, and never fully con quered-but has fought on, never theless, to thc very end. No man is beaton till ho stops fighting and yield. To maintain a conflict, no matter how unequally, means strength. Victory is not always in God's plan for every soul, hero in this mortal life-but a bravo fight is, S?ll Btreflflfth for that will always be ?;iven. God's strength is made por ed in our weakness, when, in our | weakness, we still go on striving, re sisting, facing the enemy, refusing to givo up, no matter what the odds are against us. That's strength, not weakness. That's what makes tho difference between hero and coward -tho fixed determination never to yield, always to fight on." "I see," said tho questioner. "It" I will fight as long ns I can, God will strengthen mo so that I eau fight as long as I will. Strength is sure, whether I conquer hero or not. It clears up tho possie of things a good deal to know that ; God helping me, I will fight on, whether I ever fight through or not," and he squared his shoulders with a new determination at the thought, and went forward bravely to meet his battle afresh.

RY DALE'S TONIC A REAL CURE FOR It has recently been discovered that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood.
