Sold.

-The following Interesting story
^dln from the Columbia State;
v*<$ome years prior to the Civil war
there was a considerable amount of
emigration from the southern coast
Stales, most Of such emigrants going
to the then unsettled country of the
Mississippi and Its tributary valleys.
In most instances these imigrants had
some means, and they carried "their
slaves along with them. Consequently
they were in a position to accumulate
wealth from the rich, alluvial soils of
the river bottoms more rapidly J>han
their less fortunate neighbors who bad
no slave labor to help them. This led
to much Jealously and discontent on
part of the large class of self-workfQ^
whites, who after somejieili *J?6nt in
— —toj ttnett better <*5tflpped neighbors
getting richer and they poorer, banded
themselves together in a certain dis
trict, in the lower section of Louisiana
for the purpose of running off slaves
from the Carolinas and Virginia and
selling them or keeping them for their
own uses, aa needed, preferably dis
tributing them among themselves, as
this avoided inquiry. They had as
„ their leader a man who became prom
inent in the political affaire of Louis
iana in the days of Reconstruction af
ter the Civil war.
This man went to Virginia, where
he bought a small coast trading
schooner. She was taken to Mobile,
where a false skin was built in her,
leaving a space between her sides and
this skin ol about two feet, room
enough for a negro to stand sidewaya
therein. It was so cunningly devised
that the most careful search of the
vessel never divulged its existence. It
was divided into compartments, each
holding four or five negroes, and in
these compartments many an unac
counted for slave (supposed to have
escaped to the north) was conveyed to
a much warmer climate (of course I
mean Louisiana). For six years this I *
'trade went on and no one ever bus-**
\>ected1ts existence, as the slave pi*
rates were careful to take only one
two slaves from any one owner, an
then only from those having
numbers. Occasionally they fan off a
large block of city negroes, but the
plantation hands, which they pre-
fmed, werg'TBore carefully selected
from a large area.
It was only on the deathbed of the
mate of the vessel that the facta be
came known, although this boat, at
one time and onlber, ran cargoes of
negroes from every Atlantic and Oulf
State: A description of one of the
voyages will explain the methods em
ployed, to capture their cargoes:
One afternoon Just before the sun
set on one of the most perfect days
that had ever been seen In South Car
olina a small schooner was seen to
cross the bar at the entrance of the
Btooo river, some 12 miles below the
sad the rope taa hla porttofa:

but the boat* although searched) was
found to be empty* and of course no
suspicion entertained that she was
othefthaft as represented. The ne
groes were, of course, supposed to have
Uken to the swamp, a trick of which
more than one was frequently guilty.
These pirates obtained on this voyage
some 20 negroes from that sretton,' and
in due course put to sea the way they
bad come. The word being, of course.,
only s bluff, it was thrown overboard'
as soon as possible to lighten the boat
and give her more speed. TheSe ne
groes were carried to their
vous, on an Island soifte miles below
New Orleans, frdm which place they
were turned over to those desiring
them. • 1 ; , • .
After the Civil war one of the ne
groes taken away on that occasion re
turned to John’s island and gave an
account of bis adventures. No one,
however, believed his tale until It was
corroborated by the mate’s confession,
which came duly to the knowledge of
the writer The captain was arrested
upon the mate'a cwnfes8lon, hut beln«.
prominent in the corrupt political
deals of thpse times nothing ever Came
of It and eventually he went to Oali-
forma and was lost sight of.
Many hundreds of slaves were car
ried off by these pirates and It is sur
prising how successfully they eluded
all suspicion. Had they attempted to
sell all of the negroes thus stolen they
would surely have been caught* but
the leading spirit of it all was 4oo
shrewd for that. W. B. Holmes,

The North Beginning to Get Hack
Their Lost Chickens. -
We do not want the people of the
North and West to Judge the negroes
of the South by the Vagabonds who
are committing all manner of crimes
amony them. There are plenty of
good negroes In the South, and the
ones who commlt the crimes of rape
and assassination are the vicious ones
among us, and we feel sure the same
is true everywhere. A writer in the
Augusta Chronicle says:
The recent brutal outrages per
petrated by the negro in Ibdlana,
Illinois, Delaware and other northern
localities furnish happy Illustrations
of his marvelous progress in ^moral
culture during forty.years freedom and
would seem to suggest this as an SP*
proprlatfe time for our brethren across
the line to pass around the hat for
another monument to John Brown.
While the collection Is being taken

Mho Hay* Some of the Peuptn Who
WCnt from the Month Are
Doing Wall
anil
Home Bad.
The Augusts Herald publishes the
following, which will.be Interesting to
’taadiog those who are interested In
question of colon!ting the. negroes to
Liberia or shy other locality:'
at Rosa Crawford, a
K ro woman, just retur
, Africa, has a touch of local color,
lh that she was married in Augusta
while enroute to the Dark Continent
in 1805; The woman has returned to
Columbus, Ga., and the following are
her experiences: The young woman
joined the first colonizing party that
left Columbus afj*;r the war Jn 1805
she ran away from her parents and
joined a party of some two or three
hundred negroes that left for the
Promised Land of the newly-freed
slaves. She had been a house girl at
the home of the late iQolonel Mott, on
Mott’s green, and in the course of a
year or two would have been cooking.
While en route to her new home, she
married in Augusta, her husband be
ing one of tire colonists. At Charles
ton the negroes were placed aboard a
new ship and after a long voyage they
found themselves in the old home of
their race—Africa. The colonists set
tled in the seaport Monrovia, which is
the capital of the country.
The Crawford womarTgives an Inter
esting account ^of her experiences in
Africat She is' intelligent, and noted
incidents more closely than the aver
age negro. She said that those who
went over went to work in pretty
much the sam6 stations as at home-
some cooking, others laundering,
others keeping house, etc. , She her
self(s a’ laundress and says that she
made a good living there- about the
same living she could have made at
home. She spent practically all the
time in Monrovia, not going Into the
interior except on rare occasions, and
then not far from town. She says the
natives around Monrovia are peaceable'
but further back in tbe interior they
are dangerous. AgricultureTs actively
carried on near the coast, Corn, grain
and all the vegetables ordinarily raised
in Georgia being successfully grown.
No cotton is grown in the colony. She
says that health conditions there are
not so very different from what they
are in this county—the climate suits
some and disagrees with others just as
at home, where some are healthy and
others unhealthy. She says that when
she first went to Liberia all the sugar,
molasses, etc., consumed in Monrovia
and thebther towns was made up in
this country, but that In later years
this Industry has declined so that most
of such articles are now imported
Formerly the settlers in the upper part
of Liberia sawed much lumber, but
now the lumbfirJ§-iffrp6rted, she says.
The-Orifftoafsettlers had much energy,
but the present generation is not in
clined to develop these industries.
The Crawford woman says that
when she first went to Liberia two of
three American ships touched at Mon
rovia every week. Now sometimes
two or three years pass without an
American ship visiting the port. The
foreign trade is in the hands of Engr,
llshmen, Germans. Dutchmen and
Norwelgians, the .American Interest
having steadily declined. Many of the
retail stores in Monrovia are
eolpjwd'' people. There are but few
white people In Monrovia. She says
that Monrovia is h&rdly as large as
Qolumbus. ’
While a good many of American
negroes there are dissatisfied with
their IbTarfiTwTsb to feturn to America
and would do so if they could pay their
passage, yet many are content with
their surroundings and intend to spend

Fifteen years ago her husband died.
In 1898, she moved to Sierra Loane,
the English colony just north of Li
beria. llere she found many rich

she says that she was able in the
course of a year or so to save the
money with which to buy her pas
sage home. She landed in Florida
port, from which she afterwards pro
ceeded by steamer to Brunswick.
From there she went io Atlanta,,

ter, Matilda Dawson, of Columbus,
who had been wired to come to At

Male Did Him Up.
. The Cherokee News says it Is report

last week. He cut at her several times

to i>tck up a rock to hit her with

Issued the following report of tbe crops
and weather foi; the past week:
The week ending A a. m., Monday,
July 13th; had a mean temperature of
80 degrees, which is practically nor
mal. Tbe heat was not exoeasive at
any tlmev nor was there a wide daily
range between the day and the night
temperatures. These conditions were
favorable on crops, but there was a
deficiency In sunshine over the east*
erp and central parts that was barm-
fid to a slight extent.
fiKAVt BAINS IN SOMB COUNTIES.
Locally, there Was excessive precipi
tation in Edgefield, MarTonTMarTboro
and Saluda counties and almost daily
excessive rains from the Savannah val
ley In Barnwell and Hampton north
ward to southern Clarendon and Wil
liamsburg counties, and in western
Sumter. In this part of tbe Slate the
rainfall amounted to from 3 to over 6
inches. This area includes the region
of heaviest rainfall during June when
it amounted to from 10 to 18 Inches.
The rains In other parts were benefi
cial, and some places in the northern
parts are la need of more rain. The
week’s average for the State was 2.09
Inches.
The week’s weather was favorable
for crop growth and development, with
the above exception, and for farm-
work, cultivation having made consid
erable progress, especially in tbe west
ern counties.
With the exception of a number of
localities that report the contrary, old
corn js a fair crop and is about laid by
in clean condition. Much corn was
destroyed on low lands where the rains
were excessive. Young corn has a good
color and looks promising.
COTTON GKNERALLY IMPROVED.
... „
There was a general improvement in
cotton, though some sections failed to
share in it, but reports from most sec
tions indicate that the plants are mik
ing rapid growth, too rapid for proper
fruitage in the Pee Dee counties,
though they are still small and late in
blooming. Blooms are more common
than last week. Lice remains on very
young cotton, in spots,, but they np
longer threaten injury. In the western
counties most fields are clean, but
grassy fields is the prevailing condi
tion in the eastern ones. Cotton is
poorest, and yellow, oh sandy lan
bub most of It has a healthy color,
pecially 96a island cotton.
. Tobacco curing continues and the
crop as a whole has Unproved..;, Melon
shipment are not heavy, as tbe crop is
light as yet. Planting fall truck
crops Is underway. Mine crops con
tinue to thrive. Peaches still rotting..
Other fruits fairly plentiful. Pastures
are excellent. Farm laborers are scarce
in many parts of the State.
A LADY RK CUED
From a Mcst Perilous Position in

Mrs. A. E. Jiohns, of New York

Ywemite valley for a few days, #as
found Tuesday morning in a steep
crevasse back of Sentinel Dome^Mon-

cated some two miles Trom the hotel,'
and did not return Monday night.
Early Tuesday morning Mr. Potter, a
kept by'fhotel clerk, who was a member of one
of the searching bodies who started
out to loo|| for her,' discovered her al
most lifeless form on a4edge that jut
ted out from the steep side of the Sen
tinel Assure.
Her rescue from the perilous posi
tion was attended with great diflicul-
Mrs. Johns’ waist and an effort made
to help-irer to the rim above. This
attempt proved futile because of Mrs.
Johns’ weight. By leaning over the
abrupt precipice Mr. PottCr could dis
cern another and larger ledge a hun
dred feet belpw from which was a
sheer drop of hundreds of feet. He
determined to try this plan rof rescue.
Giving tbe order to those above to
lowei^the rope Mr. Potter swung the
inanimate fornrtfTMre. Johns out from
the tiny strip of rock upon which she
had braced herself for fifteen hours
and by swinging the rope to and fro
Mr. Potterwas able to lodge the body
of Mrs. Johns on3be larger ledge.
He then descended himself. Gillihg
to oqp of the mountain guid& above
MF. Potter had him drop the rope to
the ledge upqn which all three were
now resting, Then the two picked
up Mrs. Johns ancTtogether they made
their difficult way around dangerous
ledges and over precipices beneath un

reached the rim above once more,,
Mrs. Johns is suffering much from
nervous shock, but as no bones were

In view of tbe sudden ahd .lament

Mr. Narcisao Gener Gonzales, on
January 19, 1903, let us add tribute
to his work and to fils memory.
In him we recognize a man of the
highest type. He was a man of
true principle. He hated the low
and mean with an- cxtreme. Mtred
He exacted from his fellow men,
especially those In public position, tbe
same irreproachable conduct be re
quired from himself. He was a man
of decided conviction. He thought
clearly and logically and always knew
what be believed. If he made jnis-
takes at times In the application of
principles to conditions and actions of
others, so that he was judged to be
unfair and even unjust, yet~ bis
positiveness and firmness in convio-
tions, as to what he thought would
be right, won for him the respect of
those who did not agree with him.
He was an Independent thinker, and
often advocated mpvements and
policies in advance of those above him,
which, of course, meant frequent
differences of opinion and opposition
to bis views. He was a careful and
accurate man, and yet bis was a quick
and penetrating mind. His position
was always positive and clearly defin
ed.ff These qualities won for him suc
cess and eminence as a journalist. He
was the founder of the Columbia State
in 1891, and soon made it one of the
best newspapers in the whole south
His services to Columbia, South Caro
lina, and to the south, cannot bow be
measured. He was a patriot of tbe
truest type and a^woc^by public ser
vant. In him we have lost one of the
most brilliant and successful editors
of tbe new south, and this association
has lost an active, efficient and loyal
member. Let us emulate his virtues

treasure on an adjacent set island. It
is not a wild, Captain Kidd kind of an
adventure he is on, however. The
treasure be is after was buried on
Warehaw island In 1869 by a Confede
rate soldier of the name of Amos
Berien, who died In Philadelphia last
week.. Berien, who tifejA been Jjn the
employ of Mr. Haslip for the past ten
years, often told that gentleman that
he had treasure buried on the Georgia
coast. Shortly* before his death he
told Mr. Haslip that in his trunk
would be found certain papers and
parchments that would be of value to
him, and that the property was all to
be Mr. Haslip’s after Berien died.
Mr. Haslip investigated the trunk.
Among other things he found An old
piece of sheepskin parchment, which
had evidently done duty as a drum
head. The parchment-eentaiued a
map of Warsaw island, locating a cer
tain spot. Accompanying it was a
statement to the effect that Berien
