The following interesting article on the origin of the Negro is from the pen of Rev. Dr. J. B. Mack, of Fort Mill, and M reproduced from the Charlotte Observer: Whence the Negro ? This is a dark subject; an exceedingly perplexing problem. Yet its solution is vital to some doctrines of the church, ami also" vital in deleimining the nature of our natio^sl government. Indeed if we think of the strange introduction of Negro slavery into our land and its peculiar phases in colonial days ; if we notice how it colored alnaoet every qm s- tion in Congress from 17H!l to 1 Hii 1 ; if we study the causes of our great civil war ; if we consider how this matter has made the South almost solidly Dem ocratic aud the North almost solidly Republican from 1H0H to I'.MMl, we must conclude that this problem has been the mam pivot of our national differ ences aud doings. This being the case, it is clear that Cod’s 1‘rovidcncc intends for our nation to solve this problem. As the I^>rd made Esther to be (Jucen of Persia for a special purpose, so lie has made our country to be a queen among the nations of the world for a wonderful work, viz : The determin ing of the relations of the various races to each other, and es|>ecially the rula lion of the while man to the Negro. Hence we have in our land ad of the. four races : the white man of Europe, the red man of Amcnra, the yellow man of Asia and the tdack man ol Africa. .The position of the Negro has ever been very varied and alwa)s peculiar. Some have regsrded him as a hea-t, others as mi inferior race of mankind, and others as the image of Cud cut in ebony as the white man is that image cut in ivory. Today in some Males the negro can vote, hold ollico and in termarry with the whites. In other Males be can vote and hold otlice, hu u»e ITne"’"ia Hrawii at marriage.' Tn Mber Mates be » voted (sometimes even after be is dead) hut cannot ritle in the same car or eat at the same table with white folks . while in some others even the right of voting is virtually denied him Now » it right to make these dis- tinclatos T Is it right to debar the Negro from voting ami from hoblmg •dk-e, if he is intelligent ? Is it right to forbid his eating and drinking ayd marrying with while folks anywhere, provided the whites are willing? The answer to thoae question* dejands mi the answer U^the questam, “ Whence tb* Negm ?" l^rt me mention you tour answers l. EvoiuUon asserts thal “fioni Hm* mud came a moUusk, then a reptile, then a lard, then a l>«a*l of low grmle, then a monkey, then a negro, and then the Aigber grades of men up to the wbili man. This is an easy way to * esmot fur the origin of the negro, and aa falsa a* it is easy Net*nee denies W; for W has never yet found the “miss ing link'* between the reptile and the btnl, between the Uni and the beast, between the monkey amt the man srnpture dentes it; for its affirms that the Divine law Is that "like begets like." Kariai instinct denies it; for every true while man abhors the thought of deriving existence from negro ancestors. Religion dentes it; fur the idea of our blessed Savior being descended from a negro is revolting lo the t hrislian heart. 1L Thai the negro is a talking beast; a being in human form, but without a soul. Such say that the Hebrew word •chai,’’ inCeneeis 1, .M, which is Irausiated “beast,'’ does not does not mean a quaklnqied but a biped, and refers to the negro. Rut this' is man race may see something of the strength of the theory Uial we oppose, and that is virtually accepted by many in cur churches. Candor compels me also to admit that this thcoir docs answer many questions that have .perplexed Bible students, and some of which cannot otherwise be satisfactorily answered. Here arc some of thepi. (1) . Why is there another account of the creation of man in Genesis ii, 27; unless it is to designate which race was to be put in Eden and to be the representative of mankind in the con- venant with God ? (2) . As Genesis v, 4 teaches that “ after ” Adam begat Seth “ he begat sous and daughters,” it thus implies that before the birth of Seth only Gain and Abel had been born to Adam. Who then could Cain fear would find and kjll him; and from whom did God protect him? Genesis iv, 14 -15. Who was there for Cain to marry? And where did the people come from to in habit the city that he built? Genesis v, 17. (It). If the eight persons saved in the ark were the only persons in the world, how and where could Nimrod, the grandson of Ham, find people en ough to till four cities, “ Babel and Ercch and Accad and t.'alneh iu tlie. fand of Shinar?” Genesis x, 10. (4). Whence originated those races of men which are mentioned a num ber of times in the Bible, but which arc now extinct? Whence the Emim— the Anakim—the giants, who were eight feet or moic in height—aud the sort of man that had six lingers on each hand and six toes on each foot ? (f»). If the Hood, that occurred 4,‘24M years ago, destroyed all mankind and not merely UtC-desce^daute of him designated iti Scripture us “ Elh-lla- Adam;” then how could there have liecti a populous kingdom in Egypt t,r>00 years ago? How could Ibtr na tion of China have been in existence .‘..lain years ago. .—r— (H) . If the white man and the Ne gro were descended from the same Adam and Eve, when aud where wan Uic miracle wrought that has made them so diUereuk iu hair, and odor, and and rharartwr? From “time immemorial ” this difference has existed. Egyptian monunicnU prove that J.iifiH years-ago these differences were an ilu>tinct aa they are today.

We must rhiNiec between the theory of two trea lion*, and that of the unity of the hu man race, and both of these Itaae their argument upon the Bible, lad that rliou-e be made honestly, itn|iar1u!ly and prayerfully. # If the Negro wa* created "eparulc from and inferior |o the white then to keep him aa our |N>liUcal equal is a crime, and to |ieruiil him lo be our social equal is a sin.

His partisanship there learned its first lesson. That he always turned with love, in spite of the after conflicts, to these people of his youth, many cirsum- stances prove. They have always de lighted to honor his memory, and would, 1 am assured, co operate with the efforts to preserve the relics which still sur vive. The reconstruction and preserva tion of the old log cabin, with the origi nal chimney and such timbers as still remain, could be easily accomplished and would prove of exceeding interest— an inspiration to the youth of the land, whom it would teach the reward of duty relentlessly followed, and would he deemed a hallowed relic by the American people. , l j. “ The parents of Andrew Jackson are said tn have emigrated from I ret land to the Waxhaws in 17G4, and were Presbyterians.

III. That then were two distinct creations of man.- There w/i* lii*t the creation of mankind in general, which would include all the inferior races, and this is recorded iu Genesis 1,2(>. Then came the creation of the white man, the royal race of earth, and thi* i* re corded in (ienesis 1, 27. This theory bases its claim upon four things in these two verses. (1) . The tirst word in verse 27 is improperly translated “so.” It should he .translated “and,” which proves that verse 27 is not explanatory of verse 2G, but implies an additional fip t, viz; another creation. (2) . The word used in verse 2f. to describe what God did is “asah,” which only means to make or manu facture; while in verse 27 it is “barn,” which means to create and is the highest and strongest word to describe God’s power. Hence as the word used ia higher aud nobler in verse 27 than in verse 2G, it is argued what was cre ated was higher and nobler.

Referring to this suggestion Mr. Gantt writes to Secretary Reeves, of the committee on State and Territorial ex hibits, as follows: “ 1 am informed by a gentleman who visited the birth-place of this rug ged old hero several years ago that lit lie now rem ains of the. log cabin in which he spent his boyhood days but the chimney.

The contest is. over the confirmation of George Koester, a young Gold De mocrat and personal friend of Senator McLaurin, as collector of internal re venue for the district'of South.Caro lina. At the time of Collector Koester’s appointment it was charged that he was an active participant in a “lynch ing bee ” in South Carolina, and Col lector Koester net only admitted taking part in the affair, but acknowledged writing a long account of the occur rence for the newspaper he then rep resented. All the circumstances were fully explained to President Roosevelt and the latter, after hearing both sides of the story, selected Mr. Koester for the otlice which he U now tilling. « The Republican organization in South Carolina, under the leadership of former Deputy Collector Deas, the negro chairman of the Rt'puhlican State committee, has arrived in.

Gout and rheumatism are exceeding ly painful diseases, and, of course, in some cases prove fatal, but they cod fer many a blessing upon mankind; and rheumatism, particularly, is well known to doctors' as a preventive of many other diseases. It is a notorious fact that gouty subjects generally live to a ripe age, and albeit they suffer severely at times, they generally enjoy excellent general health, the very causes of the gout keeping their blood in good condition, and making it unen durable to many kinds of microbes. Cases have occurred of whole house holds except one member, being stricken with infectious diseases, and the lucky exception has been a suf ferer from rheumatism or gont, which alone have prevented him from coft- tracting the diseases which have run through the house.' Such sufferers do not run half the risk of catching the common illnesses that non-sufferers run, aud a large proportion of the peo ple who reach ages over four-score years are people who, for years, have suffered from gout or rheumatism, to which fact they undoubtedly owe many of the years they have lived oyer the allotted span.’ Take half a dozen persons over the age of 70 who suffer from rheumatism ‘or j;out. and half a dozen others who Buffer frora neitfrer, «nd you will find that, except for their rheumatism or gout, they enjoy very much better health thau the nou-sufferers and stand splendid chance of outliving Uie latter.

Hair hunger, for instance. Hungry hair needs food, needs hair vigor—Ayers. This is why we say that Ayer’s Hair Vigor always restores colbr; and makes the hair grow long and heavy. tlWaMII*.
