Intelligencer. Published every Wednesday. J. P. CLINK8CAI.ES, \ EDITORS AND C. C. LANGSTON, S PROPRIETORS. TEBM8! ONE YEAR, - - - - $1 60 SIX MONTHS. - - - 75 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 18, 1901. Thc movement in behalf of good roads which is hoing set on foot in ridgefield County is a step in the right direotion, and should bc imitated in every county of the State. - - ? - mt . mmi - Thc number and value of the pre miums offered by thc State Fair surpass those of previous years, as the success of thc Fair of J'JOl promises to surpass all previous records. The honor of carrying oft a prize there far outweighs its intrinsic value. The ? 'nited States can get rid of the anarchists by a continuous and determined move against them. Spas modic O'.'tories "gainst them do no good. Let every State adopt strin gents laws against them and enforce it strictly. Here in the South we are not troubled with them but thc: will soon come and we should bc prepared to meet them. Vice-Prcsidont Roosevelt by acci dent has been suddenly elevated to tho Presidency of the l7nitcd States and has placed upon himself thc re sponsibilities of that great office. There is much uncertainty as to what manner of President bo will make. He has now the opportunity of his life to enroll his name among the great men upon the pages of American his tory. If he will only continue tho consol vail vc. politics of his honored predecessor his administration will bc a blessing to the whole country. When the coal is high next winter, the housekeeper may thank tho trusts for the increase. Tho great coal strike during tho last presidential campaign was settled through trust influences, so as not to jeopardize the gang in seizing the government. Later on they consolidated, and by raising the price three times have more than re couped what thoy lost by increased wages to the men. Now those men are practically out, the trusts are en joying tho higher prices and the peo ple at large can feel the satisfaction that they are meeting the bills. The assassin's bullet bas proved fatal, and President MoKinley has "passed o'er the river to re?t 'neath the shade of the trees." Tho an nouncement of his death was a great shook to the nation, for it bsd been heralded throughout the world that he would recover from his wounds, ?cd it was generally believed until a few hours preceding his death, when s sudden ohange for the worse esme over him. The death of no other American at this time could cause the sadness whioh this death has caused -ssdness sincere, universal and pro found. In the manifestation of this sorrow there haB been no North, no South no East or West, and, indeed, no bounds except the circumscribing limits of the world itself. Since his elevation to the Presidency Mr. Mc Kinley had day by day grown groatly in the estimation of his countrymen, irrespective of party, and no President haB had a kinder heart, a purer per sonal life or a cleaner record. Above all he was a devout Christian-a Chris tian statesman-and bas gone to reap the rewards promised tho faithful by the blessed Saviour whom he served so zealously. Yes, Wm. MoKinley is dead, but his name and good deeds will over honor tho pages of American history. The Act prohibiting Chinese immi gration to the United States expires by limitation in May, 1302. This seems to have been a prohibition that has never prohibited. The China man, with his bias eyes, is BO much like every other member of his race, that tho average American officer oan not distinguish one from another, and many of them have been smuggled in from both Mexico and Canada. That the Act has not stopped the ingress of the Chinese will be added to the arguments of those who oppose the re enactment of this exclusion law. While the law now in force has not stopped Chinese immigration, it has checked it. It is not better to have some of this objeotional race slipped in by the North and South than to have them, coming in all along the West without any cheok whatever? The white laborer can not compete with the yellow. The yellow man never really becomes a citizen of this country, and he is not. wanted as a citizen. We, of the South, baye enough of the rsoe problem with the white and black, and it is to be hoped that tho entire South will stand for the enactment of a more stringent ex clusion law. Those vrho oppose this law are principally capitalists willing to secure chi ap labor at any sacrifice to tue laboring man. and it is sup posed that they wilt make a strong tight against the ro-enaotmcnt. For this reason the subject should be ag itated in every section of the country whether tho Chinese arc in that im mediate section or no.* Portman Leiter. "Make hay while tba nun whine*," ways thu philosopher; but in 'bia locality wo make- rock. After a cessation of about four weeks, causad by the rain, tho negro ?abor ls again on top of the wall, shouting their loudest, sloging their merriest, and no doubt replenishing the empty meal and Hour sacks, wbicli were wrung empty during idleness. What would tb? negro do without labor? lie munt beg or Hteal, and white people who first brought the unfortunate over here should at least give bim labor and pay Iii m for lt. An oye witness bas related that at the time of slavery in America tb? slave who, while a free man, was ainu a slave lu Africa, sufrered the most navale extermination among bis own in the black continent. The war rior king held bis subjects in two capaci ties-to dino and be dined upon. The picture upon paper ls revolting, but HO lt waa ; tho king, gathering his strong army ttbout bim insisted, unlike the pitiable army of the South, that his mon bo fed ; and strong, abundant rations wore net ved them from the tranches wherein were dressed, browned, barbecued to a turn their fellow-countrymen, who, perhaps, were too fat lor marching and excellent lu chops and bau neben. What black man could not bo bought <>r enticed io? less than a few trinkets from such a country, and gladly roady to try life even in me experiments of a new slavery? There .s no denying the advancement lavished upon tho negro, lie has been mp"a human Instead of a beast, finally the blood of over haifa million waa shed for bia body and-well-had ho a foul? That was a mooted question; but bis black body cast this nation of noble white men into the deadliest war ever waged by mau against man. When wo think of it, tho insanity of sucha turn; we wonder where were the brains of the white peo ple? What was the matter with North and South that the people did not com promiso and send the black creation to where they belonged? What was there, lovablo or beautiful about the r&oe type at this stage of civilization? Really lt would seem that the North and South wanted other than the negro bone of con tention aa an incentive to battle. More creditable would be this presumption than the confession that they fought for the negro. States' rights is a problem befitting the solution of intellectual con ception, bnt negro right, the right that had no right since the days of the Patri archs but to be bought and sold, involved no intellect .superior to barter of money, snob barter being the lowest of Intellec tual feats and meriting no mention, ex cept as passion for po-aesalon, this In stinct being the strong??*.t that unites the human with the animal blain. But with all the forecast of wlae poli tics we have the black man with us, the mulatto, the quadroon, the octoroon-tho whole family from Integi al to decimal fractions washed infinitely in the blood of over 500,000 white warriors of the raoe of Noah'a superior son, we have them re? fineJ) by contact with these white heroes during more than two centurion of com panionship in North aid South America, educated on an altitude beyond the hopea of even a century ago. A Baptist missionary reporting on the early condition of the free blacks In the aable republic, Bay tl, said the freed vasa could not compare in^ industry with the slaves, that In morals they were below description, and, abandoned to their own instlnots, would fall backward to the loweat Africanism. They were then In Hay tl worshipping a small green snake? organized in a religions fraternity known aa Vaudaux, in which passion of animali ty th ev whirl ful. AmjnnaA^ dfSCk C? ihc?r "tafia," went through scenes of excess, drnnkennesa and darkness "enough to maka the impassable gods of Africa ltaelf gnash their teeth with horroi." Here waa a heathen chorus of the Vau daux (probably ''Voodoo") : Eh t eh 1 Bomba, hen I hen I Conga baffia te Conga mourne de le ! Conga de kl ll Conga ll ! This, however, is a Bong ot their own dark ages. The F ni ted States by kind ness educated, where France, Spain and England demoralized by diead. Strongly has the unequal comparison arisen within the last few days, between the multi-millionaire, W. K. Vanderbilt, unhappy In the vastness of his inherited wealth-seeking only as the modicum of his satisfaction from lt all-"to have all the fun he can," and the black laborer, happy all the day over a day's small wages. After recuperation of work, reinstating faith upon the Idle whimsicalities of the weather, behold upon the rock buttress or in the water, happier than the bonds men of Abraham, tbs fugitives of Pha roab, the gilded slaves of Solomon, these men of white hearts and shining example einging a different song from the Hay tlan Vaudaux : "I am happy all the dsy, I am happy all the day : 'It is there by faith I received roy sight And now I am happy all the day.' " Abraham Lincoln, previous to the proc lamation, replying to certain gentlemen of the cloth wbo were helping him run (or ruin) the government, Baldina per turbed spirit: "Suppose the negroes were froe, what should we do with them? Gen. Butler wrote me he was Issuing more rations to tho slaves who had matt el to him than to all the white troops under his command. They cat! oat! and that la all ! 1" When we eeo these lusty men and their posterity so happily earning and enjoy ing tho wages of a day, discovering so much life and ambition in a dollar, we want them to feast on the fat of tho land -all that ls tho product of their own labor. We want them to bo happy, aa happy aa a Vanderbilt, grasp more from life than "fun," and know that an honest heart ia of no color and an honest man, whatever bia labor, is the noblest work of God. R.

Miss MAUD O'NEAT., Teacher. Bethany Notes. Ou Wednesday, llth inst;., Mr. and Mis. II. O. Bagwell wore called on to give up their little daughter, Bessie, aged three years. Little Bessie lay eiek for thirty days and suffered untold angnish of that awful disease, scarlet j fever. This is the first time that tho death angel has visited Mr. Bagwell's homo. Wo all sympathize with them in their sad loss. While such dispen s?t.ms are hard for ns to understand, wo should not sorrow as those who have no hope, for we know that this little flower is blossoming iu heaven "to spend eternity singing round tho throne." On Wednesday at 4 o'clock p. m. the remains were carried to Bethany Church, and, after funeral Hervite? conducted by Kev. N. G. Wright, were laid away to await the resurrection morning. Let each and every ono of us try to meet loved ones who have gone on before. People ure busy saving grass and 1 peavines for winter use. | Cotton is opening and seme of us are picking. The crop will be short with us. Miss Pet Vandiver, of Midvp.y, has been upending some ./eeks with her aunt, Mrs. I). H. .Simmons. We aro glad to note that Kev. O. J. Copeland lins accepted a call to old Mt. Bethel. We will be delighted to attend when convenient. Our beloved pastor, Kev. J. A. Mar tin, we regret to say, has tendered his resignation to us nt Bethany. We feel that Mr. Martin has done great good at this place, ann while we regret his leaving us, we "heartily extend to him our best wishes and sincere prayers during his work in other fields. After his resignation we felt like a flock without a shepherd, being so surprised, so we went into an election, which re sulted in Kev. W. K. McMillan's favor. He was unanimously elected. Kev. Mr. Wrenn filled Mr. Martin's appointment Sunday and delivered a very impressive sermon to a large and attentive congregation. Our many friends were glad to seo and welcome Kev. B. P. Mitchell, of Georgia, into our midst Sunday. J.
