IN RADICAL DAYS? -
Chester Negro Tells of Time When He
Was u Senator.
How Wade Hampton redeemed the
state in carpcthagglng days in South
Carolina formed the topic of a rare in
t. rvlew with (Jreene Coleman of Char
li tte yesterday, when the aged negro,
once a state senator, wearing a high
heaver hat and Piittee Albert coat, was
in the seventh zenith of negro heaven
in the halls of the old South Carolina
i ?datehouso at "Columbia, says the Char
it tte < )bserver.
I "Them was days when de nigger was
j in bis glory fo sure," remarked Cole
i man, as he related with a relish, re
collections <>f 1N7.*> and '7(5 when the
carpetbaggers and the niggers held the
| state of South Carolina at their mer
cy: when the corridors of the stato
house at Columbia reeked with drmtk
| en statesmen, w hen thousands of cfrfi
! lai'N worth of lhpiors and cordials atuf
I choice cigars were kept constantly on
: tap at the statoliouse for the hundred
of more nlggej' senators and 'states
I men' and their c.anict bagging friends,
who ciindiicted a reign of terror second
| only to the days, of 'the Komaii uphea
val.
The skies were overcast with dark
? ominous clouds of social ami political
.unrest back there in '7o and "7t? when
| Wade Hampton stepped in and redeem
ed the fair name of the Palmetto state,
I with the co-operation of native whites
and I ho in..- - fautoun "red ihlrta"
wh(wi{? loyalty and devotion to their In
trepid loader and Inborn courage with
in their blood- red shirts turned out ev
ery negro from a statesman's berth,
stopped (he loot! UK of the state treas
ury, bridled graft and brll>es and again
made South Carolina righteous and un
ashamed.
Anil ftroeue Coleman, then a resi
dent of Cliotfter, S. C., and a typical
pegro of his day and time In Intelli
gence and moral stamina, wan elected
to olllce by his henchmen and nigger
voters, to represent Chester in the
state legislature. The old negi^> tells
aland It with rare frankness.
He descrlltcd In his own Inimitable
way how the niggers and carpetbag
gers ran rampant with (he people's
money and with their voting power, ap
propriations for anything under the
sun being as * readily obtained as a
match with which to light a twenty
cent cigar purchased at the expenae of
the commonwealth. There were may
be, he says, 150 niggers In the halls of
the state legislature back there in '75
and *7<i. and every one of them felt that
It was a wonderful time for the black
race. And they made every minute of
it Count because deep in their hearts
they knew a day of reckoning would
come, and when It did ? they realised
the negro would Ik1 no more in the ex
alted places so rudely uaurited by the
power of men who stripjHHl the state
of all it held dear and sold themselves
to the highest bidders.
Votes were sold o|>enly and without
shame, ten, twenty, thirty, at a time
some for as high as a hundred dollars
and others as low as live and ten dol
lars, according to the amount of graft
the nlggersvhad.. been told wore avail
able. (JreeiVe Coleman admitted with
out a touch of shame or remorse, that
the highest price he ever obtained for
his vote in the. South Carolina state
house was $100 in the United States
currency, and it was a "heap sight of
money" to a nigger brought up on a
plantation in those days.
Then the former Chester negro told
of the silent, mysterious, awe-Inspir
ing activities of the Ku-Klux Klan and
the terrible way in which one after
another negro senators and lawmakers
of the day before disappeared as If the
earth had opened and swallowed them,
until the fear of the wrath of God or
some uflseen, unknown force turned
craven the nigger heart and his little
stock of convoke ookcI lluv'tfbli bis
sl.lu :? lit 1 1 It left him weak, hallow eyed
and shivering on the thro* holt of t'r.m
t it* despair..
"We took our meals with the white
carpetbaggers at the hotel near the
statehpuse in Columbia and slept there,
too, ;when we got any sleep because
there was gambling going on all night
and games of chance for money and
such things, but we mixed with the
white folks Jill the time and at night
we had carriages and spans of horses
to draw us abtpit town or wherever wc
wanted to go with our beaver hats and
our good clothes. Oh. boss, things come
easy en those days.

Nothing cf a fanatical or sensational nature will be permitted at any of the meetings of the Institute. It will be different from the ordinary evangelistic campaign in j
sensational appeals will be made to the emotions. ? ' ' .
The subjects will be of interest and importance. The great fundamental truths of the religion of Christ will beclearly set forth. The meaning of the alarming lBflPjjl
divorce, insanity, crime, suicide, violence and graft; the significance of the present immense preparations for war; the meaning of the great physical disturbances in P^|
the world will be made clear from the Prophecies of the Bible. 6 < r,iii<n
The books of Daniel and Revelation, which have been considered "hidden mysteries," will be explained, and the many symbols found in these books will be illustra
large charts. ' " j InlitflH
The studies to be given on the prophecies will be of special educational value to Bible students, and at the same time will be used to convince those who ID?y be in aou% 0 g
truth of the Bible. All these subjects to be presented are being selected with the idea in mind of giving a maximum of instruction in the principles of the Bible. To those ^ j
interested in Bible study, especially the study of the prophecies of the Bible and their fulfillment, this series of meetings will be as valuable as a reguIarlBlble course. ^
Subjects r.uch as Spiritualism, ^Rupinism. thje^Unpardonable Sin, the Millennium, the Second Coming of Christ, the Origin and Destiny of Satan, Religion Liberty* tne ?
>f Elijah, Capital vs. Labor, the Ministration of Angels, Heaven. Hell, The Other Side of Death, and others of equal interest will be covered by special addresses
ing oi
All in all this series of meetings will result in giving those who attend regularly a liberal education In the study
of the Scriptures. And no charge will be made at all. Every meeting will be free. The expenses of the Institute will
be met by such voluntary offerings as may be given in the taking up of the regular offeing.
All night meetings will commence at 8:15 p. m... Do not fail to hear the opening adress on -"The Crash of Em
pires. If you don't read the Bible, come. If you don't understand the Bible, come. If you don't believe the Bible,
come. If you do believe the Bible, surely come, and Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." ? 1 Thess. 5:21.
Services Conducted by Evangelist S. R. HAYNES.
