H. CHAPPELL ON THE NEGRO Says He Descended From Cain-The Way to Control Him-If Labor Is Scarce Sow Grain. Mr. Editor: I have often heard that an idle mind is the devil's work shop, and +his lonely evening while "Old Miss," (as I call her) and all the children are away and I alone left to look after the things at home, my mind reflected back to a conversation between a very prominent citizen of Newberry and myself as to the ori gin of the negro, and I contended that when Cain killed his brother, Abel, and God put a curse on him and said that he should be a fugitive and a viTabond on the earth, then Cai:i fled and went over into the land of Nod on the east of Eden and Cain knew his wife-mind you, there were no other people on the earth at the time but Adam ind Eve and Cain and Abel-yet Cain, according to the Good Book, went over in the land of Nod and knew his wife, which, aa eordirg to my interpretation, to use a negro' expression, meant that Cain "took up with her." Now the question is, who was one, and I claim that she was nothing more or less than a monkey, and the roes of Oain and the monkey you get the negro. Now let's see if we can find any proof. None but cir eumstantial, which in law is good -proof if there are no missing links in the chain. Well, we find Lameeh, one of their descendants, had two wives. Do not all negroes have two wivesI Well, the Good Book says that Cain and his descendants should be fugitives and vagabonds. Are there not a large per cent of the ne groes fugitives and vagabonds? But enough of Cain. My object in this article is to try as best Iean to show some of the evils of this day C( concerning the negroes, and they alone are bad enough, but, Mr. Edi tor, they- are the easiest people con trolled on the face of this earth. If some low down scoundrel of a white skin would let him alone and keep him in his class. Nine times out of ten when your negroes become dissat isfied and want to leave you, there is some white scoundrel, who has c r around your field and told him __t you were not treating him right and 'that he would give him more than you were giving him and let him have a mule on Sunday to drive to church. The next important point th'at I1 "wish to underscore is that you cannot treat a negro like you would a white . man, for he will not stand it. He is intended by God himself as a com mon laborer, and when you try toI treat him white, right then you spoil him, and he will consider himself as good as you are and you can no long er control him. A white man is just 'what he makes out of himself, and a negro is just what you make him. . Soud1i Caroina is the garaen spot ur of the world, and Newberry county se is the garden spot of South Carolina and from one to three miles west of n Newberry is the garden spot of New berry county. *Not that we have the l' very best land, or raise the very bestt crops, but listen to these words, far- re mers. Dick Neel nor George Hill nor ac im Henderson do not try to dissatis-di vmy hands. They would, not hire ca e of them under any circumstances st~ I wanted him, and God knows my eu rt, and I know that under no cir- so mnstanees would I try to hire any hii oftheirs, but would get out of my bed as at midnight to go and help one of hi them put his negro in his class, but fa we do not even need that. We have - no trouble with them, but. you do not'to] hear any negro call us Dick or George pa or Jim or John. We do not allow ed it, and the negro respects us the more H for it. Now, my reader, quit your col infernal meanness, let your neighbors co: alone. If you can't get as many fo< hands as you want, sow down your wil :land and cultivate ..and fertilize well lai what you do work and you will be bir more prosperous and happier, and when old age, with all of its infirmi ties comes upon you, you can look back at a well spent life and rejoice in the glorious prosperity of thosem divine blessings, which heaven alone he can bestow upon the good and the, true. 3 .
