J. H. fCHAPPELL ON THE NEGRO Says He Descended From Cain Th< Way to Control Him?If Labor Is Scarco Sow Grain. Mi. hditor: 1 have often hear< that tm idle mind is the devil's worl shop, and this lonoly evening whil< 'Old Miss," (as I call her) and al the children are away and I alone lef to look after the things at home, mj mind reflected back to a conversatioi between a very prominent citizen o: Newberry and myself as to the ori gin of t'he negro, and I contendet taat when Cain killed his brother Abel, and God put a curse on hin End fcaid that he should be a fugitive and a v<i<rnbond on the earth, thei | Cain fled and went over into the lam of Nod on the east of Eden and Caii fe knew his wife?mind you, there wer< P no other people on the earth at th< r time but Adam and Eve and Cain am Abel?yet Cain, according to tin Good Book, went over in the land ol Nod and knew his wife, which, ac cordirg to my interpretation, to us< a negro's expression, meant tlia C?in "took up with her." Now the question is, who was ?ho L and I claim that she waa nothing H more or less than a monkey, and tli? m, cross of Cain and the monkey yoi R got the negro. Now let's see if w< can find any proof. None but cir W cumstantial, which in law is gooc F proof if there are no missing links ir ^ the chain. Well, we find Lamech one of their descendants, had twe wives. Do not all negroes have tw< wives? Well, the Good Book say; that Cain and his descendants slioulc be fugitives and vagabonds. Ar< there not a large per cent of the ne L groes fugitives and vagabonds? |m But enough of Cain. My object ii |J[ this article is to try as best I can t( show some of the evils of this da} B concerning the negroes, and the] Hr alone are bad enough, but, Mr. Edi W tor, they are the easiest people con P trolled on the face of this earth. 11 some low down scoundrel of a whit< skin would let him alone and keei him in his class. Nine times out ol ten when your negroes become dissat dsfied and want to leave you, there ii some white scoundrel, who has crepl around your field and told him thai you were not treating him right ant L. that he would give him more than yoi f wore giving him and let him have i !f mule on Sunday to drive to church, bp The next important point that ! wish to underscore is that you eanno treat a negro like you would a whiti man, for he will not stand it. H( is intended by God ! elf as a com mon laborer, and when you try t< treat him .white, light then you spoi hi_m, and he will consider himself ai good as you are and you can no long er control him. A white man is jus ) what he makes out of himself, and i IkJ '' neuro is just what you make him. Souiii Carolina is the garden spo of the world, and Newberry count; H is the garden spot of South Carol im Be and from one to three miles west o V Newbcrrv is the garden spot of New m berry county. Not that we have tin very best land, or raise the very bes crops, but listen to these words, far mors. Dick Xcel nor George Hill no Tim Henderson do not try to dissat is y my hands. They would not hin ne of them under any circumstance 1 wanted him, and God knows m; aart, and T know that under 110 cir i instances would T try to hire an; of theirs, but would get out of my bet at midnight to go and help one o them put his negro in his class, bu we do not even need that. We liav< 110 trouble with them, but you do 110 hear any negro call us Dick or Oeorg, or Jim or John. We do not allov it, and the negro respects us the mon for it. Now, my reader, quit youi infernal meanness, let your neighbor: alone. If you can't get as man; hands as you want, sow down you] land and cultivate and fertilize wel what you do work and you will b< more prosperous and happier, ant when old age, with all of its infirmi ties comes upon you, you can lool back at a well spent life and rejoic* in the glorious prosperity of thosi divine blessings, which heaven alom oan bestow upon the good and tin f J.
