Richard Carroll, who spoke to 3,000 negroes at Sumter on Monday, has thoroughly at heart the best interests of his race. His address was a remarkable and strong deliverance, was full of sound, solid and genuinely good advice, and contained many gems of expression. His people cannot do better than to heed his wisewords. FOR THK FARMER’* GOOD. In union there is strength. On Monday the fanners of Florence county organized a cotton growers’ association and called a meeting to be held on sales’ day in Febru ary. Certain gentlemen were ap pointed to organize township asso ciations, and to make the county association a thoroughly organized body each township will elect three delegates to the next meet ing. We hope the organizers appoint ed will do their work well, so that a large and representative body of cotton growers may assemble here on the first Monday in February. Every farmer in the county, wheth er he plant a large or small num ber of acres, should joim the move ment which has for its object nothing but the good of him who tills the soil. The question of reducing the cotton acreage will doubtless be passed upon, and uni ty of action on the part of the farmer is the one thing needful. A reduction of acreage by a few, with the great majority adhering to the same old plan, would have no effect at all and wauld defeat, in fact, the very object of the un ion. Other questions of interest to farmers will be discussed, and we sincerely hope—nay, we con fidently predict, that this meeting will be productive of permanently good results. In union there is strength. WISE WORDS. Extract Fram Rev. Rlobsrd Canwll'a AS- dreta to Ike Colored People of Suiater. Rev. Richard Carroll delivered a splendid address to a large com* pany of colored people at Sumter on Monday. It is too long for publication in these columns, but quoted below is a striking extract therefrom relating to homes: “We will never be the equal of other races unless we cease to live in one-room cabins and shanties. It will not do for grandpa, grand ma, wife and husband, sons and daughters to sleep in the same room. There are white landhold ers who will give you the lumber and nails if you will do the build ing. Some of them tell me the negroes are too lazy to build, others say they don’t want any better houses. The house is the greatest institution on earth for good or evil; yoa can’t make a great, good, patriotic and intelli gent race if you live in low, wicked filthy and ungodly homes. The home is the foundation of society, morality and religion. It is very hard to train up children right in the schoolhouse and Sunday School if their homes are polluted. They must have good, upright and intelligent mothers and fathers, and a family altar. We do not want to govern the country until we learn to govern the home. Defective homes will bring a defective government in church and State. I must confess that we have plenty of church and Sunday religion, hut not enough at home. 1 like to see good homes owned and paid for by negroes. These are the most reliable and best citizens; very few of this class commit crime. They are the white man’s best neighbors, and strange to say, they are poor politicians.” SOME A1 AND] Mr. W. city.
