Our pcoplo know our .opinion of the ao called race prob lem. __ ' * ? * . Governor Hey ward, Governor select Ansel, Bishop Capers, and others of equal prominence are .billed to address one of Richard ?/arroll's "Race Problem" meet - /ngs at Columbia next month. ? ? ? '?The Race Problem. M Please .stop all this foolish talk about it, if such a thing exists, which we dispute. The Caucassian race will always rule this coun try, and the frenzied utterances of paid orators of danger to the ,oontrary, will uot be taken seri ously by sensible people. * * ? Dist. Att'y Jeromi of New York is said to be after the .gamblers. We consider this 'simply a play to the galleries. Forty Jeromes couldn't stop, or ,even half check gambling in this great city. The election of u .competent chief of the police ^orco will tend to fix things. * * * -Our strenuous President, we hear is to issue an illustrated booklet giving in detail his ob servations as to the work now &eing done 011 the Panama canal. Senator Morgan of Alabama says that it is a sure thing thai ."Teddy's" picture will occupy a prominent jjlace in the tout en semble of the work. THE LAW. siract it is a guido to human ac tion, based upon Divine com jnands by the observance ol which every citizen is absolutely .protected in life, limb, property, and in his or her pursuit of hap pi ness. "Whence came original law? Prom God of course. The tab lets delivered to Moses ou Mt. Sinai constitutes our ideal of written law as we accept it. No ^doubt Adam, Noah, and other patriarchs of long past ages also had laws prescribed for then guidance, but with them we have nothing at this time to do, other than to remark that any violation of them was followed by swift punishment. So reads the Scriptures. What about modern law which (supposed to bo based upon the ten commandments delivered to Moses by Diviuity itself some 4,000 years ago, and which we believe wero so delivered? Mod ern law, in the concreto, is a sham, a fraud and a farce, and the only satisfaction usually got ten out of it is, that if your op ponent does you this time, you have a fair chance of doing him or some other follow the next. In the administration ot tins latter day law, some lawyers will take a case, although he knows in Ins heart that his client's case is a bad one. To be more explicit, he accepts the case feeling assured that tho party is guilty, at least in a de gree of the offense with which ho is charged. He pecks around a little among his law books and discovers a technical lity, and away goes Mr. Kapist, Mr. Mur derer, horse-thief, and other of fendersof minor degreo. Again, a case is taken against u man whom the general public abso lutely absolves of any intent to commit a crime, but through technicalities in law, is branded with crime. Cut out these technicalities and go back to good government. .This may bo food for thought for our legislators. ? Uest makes Piano and Or gans. W.

F- Lee, a mining ex pert and mineralogist, formerly of Dublin, Ireland, and now of Kershaw county, South Carolina, was in the city yesterday in the interest of a company to be formed to mine gold, tin and aluminum in Kershaw and Rich laud. Dr. Lee is a graduate of Heidelberg and Dublin uni versities and came to this country about two or three years ago well recommended. He sa V8 that he cares nothing for the proposed coogpany itself ex cept that it will give him a chance to develop his love for mining engineering and that he is williug for the formation of the concern to be left eutirely with Columbia capitalists after they have had an expert's re port on the possibilities. "South Carolina is rich in mineral wealth," said Dr. Lee. "far richer than the ordinary citizen supposes and some ex aminations 1 have made bear cut ihe recent reports made by your State geologist, Mr. Earle Sloan, There is not only gold but iron ore and a stone that is a substi tute for white lead. I lind this ore fully equal to that now mined in Pennsylvania and in Germany and vast beds of it are untouched. " Dr. Leu has also inspected the Icaolin beds in the upper part of this couuty and his report bears out what has already been written of them in The State from time to time. The gold ore to which he re fers pays about $70 to the ton of quartz aud the vein extends from the vicinity of Lugoff, on the Seaboard Air Line railroad, on through to Richland, with branches up into adjoining coun ties. He had several speci specimens of the quartz with him for exhibition which were left with local men who may be come interested in the forma tion of a mining company. ? Tne State of Dec. 6th, 190G. Iu connection with the above we may mention that we have interviewed Dr. Lee aud are au thorized to state that he has suc ceeded in interesting sucli men as General Wilie Jones, Presi dent of the Palmetto National j Bank of Columbia, Messrs E. G. jSiebals, John Siebals, Governor D. C. Heyward, W. G. Childs, r L, llimnnu frit ond (if equal proraiucnce in the proposed stock company which to our mind makes success assured. Wo are not yet informed as to the price of shares, or whether any of the stock will bo offerred for sale. If stock should bo offerred to the public, we believe that an invest ment will bo profitable. The proposed mining company will be known as the Governor Heyward Mining aud Investment Company. A Furniture Plant May Be ICrectert Hero. ChiikIoii Cononrn Intersntfil In A4*Hnt? K?? Ollercd l>y Columbia mid III Kate*. There is a probability of the establishment of a furniture and mattress factory in Columbia if the right inducements should be offered. Yesterday Mr. J. B. White of the Weston & White Manufac turing Co., of Camden was in the city and talked with a num ber of furniture dealers of Co lumbia about the prospects for success in Columbia. Mr. White is largely interested in enter prises in Camden, but believes that Columbia offers better op portunities for industries of that kind. He is back of a company manufacturing mattresses, ex celsior, and in a small way, the light r grades of furniture. The company thinks that with the lo cation uf Columbia and the freight rates given this city t? very profitable business can be built up aud it is probable that a plant costing about $50, (XX) will be erected hero. ? The State, Dec. 7. Wo don't happon to know the J. B. White mentioned in the above, nor what enterprises lie is interested in here. We don't know either whether it is our Camden that is referred to. We do know however that our Cam den can do about as well for the Weston and White Company as can any city in South Carolina, so a look over the grounds may result in benetit to any firm or company contemplating the es tablishment of a furniture, mat trass, knitting, buggy, wagon. or any other kind of a factory or mill.

By a vote of 10 to 3 of tho committee of the recent Method ist Conference appointed to in vestigate and decide on the charges against Rev C. W. Creighton of the Christian Ap peal of gfoss immorality and li bel, reported the charges sus tained, and the accused was promptly deposed from the min istry, and expelled from the , membership of the church. Now, while we have no ink ling of the workings of the rul ing powers of the Methodist church, we have been furnished information which leads us to believe that Rev. Creigliton has been hardly treated. Ouropiniou of the verdict and seutence may be best expressed iuthe Words of Rev. A. Coke Mann, a delegate. Upon the reading of the report, Mr. Mann obtained the floor and said: "All I want to say is, that if that verdict is true aud correct, similar charges should be preferred against three fourths of the membeishipof the church in this state, for the same talk is being indulged in against the ring Mr. Creigliton has attacked throughout this" ? Here he was called dowu on a point of order. Wo wttut to say farther that it seems to us m this instance either th&t the ninety-nine guilty men escaped and one has suf fered unduly, or that uinety-niue innocent men escaped, and one innocent man received more punishment than he deserved This is a queer proposition but it is about the only one that ap pears to tit the case. FARMERS UNION NOTES. Provoking: Gall. Upon every occasiou organized farmers are met with the argu ment from their opponents some thing like this: "Farmers have neither the necessary amount of organized capital or enough experienced men to ever control the cotton market." Now lets look into this matter a little and see who it is now managing the chief en terprises in and around the city of Anderson, S. C., for example; perhaps the most prosperous county aud town in the State. Go with us to the heads of her ten large cotton mills and you will tiud niue out of ten of these mill te-eb8aMmSS?i' osv?en.?y mothers' son of their presidents and a large number of their cashiers and directors are farrn ers's sons. The publishers and editors of her three newspa pers at last account were all farmers' sons. A similar investigation in about all the important towns in the cotton States, we are told, would show a similar proportion of farmers' sons. Our "Farmers' Cotton Union" propose to do some of this hiring of our farm ers' sons to help retain a reason able share of the profits on farm products to the men who farm. Talk About Capital. What is the capital behind all our industries? What sort of collatteral do they put up that is different or safer base for cur rency than the farmer can offer? What products of all the com bined industries of the whole Southern States that can begin to compare with the annual aver age sales of the farmers cotton, which goes beyond live hundred million dollars every year to say nothing aoout his other crops? Go to the government census reports and you will see that the aggregated capital and wealth of all our manufweturing industries of the South does not amount to one fifth tha*. invested in farm lands and farm equipments. Is it not gall then in any man to say that the "Farmers' Cot ton Union" possibilities which has behind it all of this vast ar ray of business men and capital cannot succeed? Cotton growers, you have cre ated the wealth producing sta ple that has made vast fortunes for others; now will you come forward and claim your share of the profits? There is but one way to do it ? organize, organize, and then help yourselves. Houtli Atlantic Inventor*. The following patents were issued this week to South At lantic inventors ? reported by 1).
