The safe ty of life and property demand that. th white man should control the Government but this is uncertain so long as they are s numerous amongst us. A deflection of a small number of white from the Democratic .pAly in this, and sev era! olier Southern States, would make i possible for tlie negro to regain control o State Government, which would simp1; mean destruction to decent Government. A1 influx of hardy, thrifty, intelligent white from Elhropt or the North, only, will solv our political difficultics and assist in devel oping our material resources.

But when they make i move in that direction some of tie paper. of the State, as vell as some of the people, at. once adopt every means they possibly can to check-mate the movement. This is all wrong.

It is a well established fact thlaat the cost of boundary fences is about $1 per acre. The last. centiu shows that there were in Sonth Carolina 3,772.605 acres of im proved land. Estimating the cost of boun dary fences at $4 -per acre it would atnonut to .4615,090,420 for such fenoes alone. The durition of an urrdina-ry r'ill fence is esti mated at. ten years.
