SLATE PIRATES Who Stole Negroes from Their Owners and Sold Them. A STORY Or ANTE BELLUM DAYS. Mr.ny mayen Woro Stolon from Our Conni Country ?nil Curried lo (ho West and Sold. ' The following interesting story we clip from the Columbia State: Some years prior to thc 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 (migrants had some means, and they carried their slaves along with them. Consc(>uently they were in a position to accumulate wealth from the rich, alluvial soils of the river bottoms more rapidly than their less fortunate neighbors who had no slave labor to help them. This led to much jealously and discontent on part or the large olass of sell-working whites, who after some years spent in seeing their better equipped neighbors getting richer and they poorer, handed 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 timm for their own uses, as 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 affaira or Louis iana in the days ol' 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 sideways therein. It was so cunningly devised that the most careful search of the vessel never divulged its existence, ll was divided into compartments, each holding four or live negroes, and it these conipartments**many an unac counted for slave (supposed to have escaped to thc north) was conveyed to a much warmer climate (of course 1 mean Louisiana). For six years this trade went on and no one ever sus pected its existence, as the slave pi rates were careful to take only one or two slaves from tiny one owner, and then only from those having large numbers. Occasionally they ran oil' large block of city negroes, but thc plantation hands, which they pre ferred, were more carefully selected from a large area. It was only on the deathbed of the mate of the vessel that the facts be came known, although this boat, at one time and onlhcr, ran cargoes of negroes from every Atlantic and Cull' State. A description of one ol' the voyages will explain the methods em ployed to capture their cargoes: One afternoon just heroic 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 har at the entrance til' the Steno river, some 1~ miles below the city of Charleston, a brisk "sou'eas ter" Illling her swelling sails (which showed clearly against thc background of trees on the island at the mouth of the rive**) brought her quickly up the river to a point opposite the little .summer village known tts Lc-'arcvi Ik, where just at dusk she dropped an chor. The next morning two or three of thc crew caine ashore, osten sibly for the purpose ol' buying wood from the planters on John's island, which lay to the southwest of the river, and suececd-id In making ar rangements for a cargo. This gave them an opportunity lo visit thc dif ferent plantations and to estimate the number of negroes on each. Having thoroughly posted them selves and picked out the negroes they liked best they formed means of talking to them and persuaded them to sneak off during the night, appoint ing a place of meeting and promising ?i jug of wltiskey, which in t hose days was a rather rare treat to negroes. The unsuspecting negro of course showed tip. Instead of whiskey, gags sind the rope was his portion. Ile was then conveyed aboard the vessel and hidden in one of the compart ments. Ol' course a "hue and cry" was raised Tor the missing negroes, but thc boat, although searched, was found to bc empty, and of course no suspicion entertained that she was omer than as represented. The ne groes were, ol'course, supposed to have taken to the swamp, a trick ol' which n.orc than one was frequently guilty. I Thexo pirate* dU.tkUied. od toto Voyage s?rau 20ncgtbes fr?rti tliat?t.ellbm atirj in due coiirfiu but!td sea" tlie way.;thfey bad cc^e, The wdM* being, bf cotise? only a bluff, it was -th rtnia.overboard as soon GS possible to lighten the boat and give her more:speed.

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 too shrewd for that. W. B. Holmes, Charleston, July 14. COMING HOME TO RQOST. Tho North Beginning to Get Buck Thuir I.OMI ChickciiB. 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 among them. There are plenty tit uood negroes in the South, and the ones who commit the crimes of rape ?md assassination are the vicious ones among us, ?ind we feel sure the same ls true everywhere. A writer in the Augusta Chronicle says: The recent brutal outrages per petrated by thc negro In Indiana, Illinois, Delaware and other northern localities furnish happy illustrations jt his marvelous progress' in moral culture during forty years freedom and would seem to suggest this as an ap propriate time for our brethren across bbc linc to pass aiound the hat for mother monument to John Brown. While the collection is being taken thc chair might stimulate their righteous zeal by singing, "As we go iynching on." to a shot gun accompaniment by the irehestra. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding tine," and in the tide of time the chickeus turned loose by bayonet suffrage, political recognition and wi te house hospital ity are coming back to roost In north an homes. "They're coming Father Abram A hundred thousand strong;" They're coming home to roost Where they rightfully belong. Tire writer is neither a prophet nor i pessimist, and yet as the "black hor ror" casts the shadow of its brutal menace farther and farber Into north ern hearthstones, it may be that even under the pale of Fancuil Hall there will come some day a dim regret that Stonewall .1 ackson fell ere Gettsburg was fought. OLD SOUTH, TIM- Knee Question. The race question ls attracting con siderable attention at thc North, and ifls being discussed by the papers of that section rn a way that it has" never been discussed before. The Indiana polis Sentinel says: "The situation is serious. It ls likely to get worse, before it gets better; thc race problem has become an Indian problem; men of ail parties may as well look the facts in thc face and bethink them selves how they are to be dealt with." In speaking of the conflict between thc races in Evansville, Ind., in which several people were killed, the Sen tinel says: "Behind all these manifes tations of lawlessness arc conditions which may well give pause to thought ful men. The fact is that the cam munity has been debauched and cor rupted hy politicians who have im ported hordes of thc most ignorant, most worthless and vilest negroes, causing an enormous increase in pauperism, vice and crime, and reduc ing materially the average intelligence and virtue of the people.'' This is a serious indictment and sets forth a condition of things that communities in the south can fully understand and appreciate. While the original trouble grew out of the act of a lawless negro, the Sentinel declares that he had been removed from thc city and the only apparent motive of thc rioters has been to make trouble in order to give vent to their lawless feelings. The Courier, ol' Evansville, Ind., says: The cause of the present reign of terror in this city can be directly traced to the vitiation of the negro for political purposes. Before election Lion Lime the advertisements arc sent np and down tim river among thc dilftless negroes, stating that they jan get money for their votes at hlvansville. The idea, ignorant and vicious Hock herc; they ure colonized In saloons; they are gathered in herds Lhe night before election, even in thc custom house and the temple of jus tice, debauched with free beer and irrupted with free dollars, when they ire properly ready Lo be used on elec tion flay. Commenting on this the Indiana polis Sentinel says: "There is both og Lo be said in behalf of Lhe mob or my of its members. But there is just is little Lo be said for those who have ieliherat.ely debauched and demoraliz ed the community by introducing for loliticnl purposes a dangerous and ricinus element and practicing methods which whenever tolerated ire certain to produce disastrous con icqucnccs. The wind has been sown, bbc whirlwind is being reaped." The Augusta Ch ron lelo says wc are ac customed to this sort of preaching from thc Northern newspapers to -Southern communities, hut it sounds strangely addressed hy an Indiana polis paper to an Indiana audience. A Kenning l<'ool. ( Inc brave man lias developed in Illi nois. To the Chicago Chronicle lie mys, speaking of the negro: "1 think that one who is Industrious, honest md true to lils country is a thousand Limes better and more to be esteemed than a million of rebels whose claim to superiority is bottomed only upon the possession of a white hide." Thc Join mb I a State says "at latest ac counts this man had not been lynched. )f course bc meant to say a "half "nillion rebels," for it was that nlim ier which kept the two million of the 'true to his country"' and "hot for a jounty" interested for four years. The survivors have been endeavoring nen since to keep the surplus in the reasury reduced. But tile Illinois Vater is not a survivor; at least 1,500 niles separated him 1'rom the nearest ?kirmish lines. What tv Woman Who lived ?ll?re Years 8ay? of lt. \ --. .? ... -?-' . LIVING THERE SAME A8 HERE. She Huya Home ot* the Poonta Who Went from tho Routh Aro Doing Woll ona Hume Dad. The Augusta Herald publishes the following, whloh will be Interesting to reading those who are interested in question of colonizing the negroes to Liberia or any other locality: Thestnry that llosa Crawford, a negro woman, Just returned from Lib eria, Africa, has a touch of local color, in that she was rrjarried lh Augusta while enrouto to the Dark Continent in 1805. The woman has returned to Columbus, Ga., and the following are her experiences: The young woman joined the iirst colonizing party that left Columbus after the war. In 1805 she ran away from her parents and joined a party of some two or three hundred negroes that left for the Promised Lund of the newly-freed slaves. She had been a house girl at the home of the lat? Colonel 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'jf lng one of the colonists. At Charles ton the negroes were placed aboard a new ship and after a long voyage they found themselves in thc old hume of their race-Africa. The colonists set tied In the seaport Monrovia, which is the capital of thc country. Tlie Crawford woman gives an Inter esting account of her experiences in Africa. 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 same stations as at home some cooking, others laundering, others keeping hous?, etc. She her self is a laundress and says that she made a good living there- about the same living she could have made at hume. She spent practically all thc time in Monrovia, not going Into thc interior except on rare occasions, and then not far from town. She says the natives around Monroviaare peaceable but further back in tho interior they are dangerous. Agriculture ls 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 justas 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 the other towns was made up in this country, but Chat 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, hut now the lumber, ls imported, she says. The original settlers had much energy, but the present generation is not in dined to develop these industries. ? Thc " Crawford woman says that when she first went to Liberia two or 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 ot Eng llshmcn, Germans. Dutchmen and Norwelgians, the American interest having steadily declined. Many of the retail stores In Monrovia are kept by colored people. There are but few white people in Monrovia. She says that Monrovia is hardly as large as Columbus. While a good many of American negroes there are dissatistied with their lot and wish to return to America and would do so if they could pay their passage, yet many are eontent with their surroundings and intend to spend the rest of their lives in Africa. The Crawford woman says that the Ameri can negroes are exercising a civilizing Inlluencc over the native Americans; that they bring the children of the na tives into the towns, teach them, and that thc colony hos churches and schools just as thc negroes in America do. Fifteen years ago her husband died. In 1808, she moved to Sierra Loane, thc English colony just uorth of Li beria. Here she found many rieh white families who were willing to I pay well for line laundry work, and | she says that she wus 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 j port, from which she afterwards pro ceeded by steamer to Brunswick. From there she went to Atlanta, meeting lier brother, and also her sis ter, Matilda Dawson, of Columbus, who had beeu wired to come to At lanta. They liad hot seen each other In thirty-eight years, and made such a demonstration that an Atlanta police man came near locking both up. She is now with lier sister at I8? Third avenue. She says she enjoyed execellent health during her cn tin stay in Africa. UT the Columbus ne groes who went to Liberia in 18(10, less than half dozen have returned lo this city. A Fatal Tornado.

Bauer had issued the following report of the crops and weather for the past week: The week ending 8 a. m., Monday, July 13th, had a mean temperature o( 80 degrees, which is practically nor mal. The heat was not excessive at any time, 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 thc east ern and central parts that was harm ful to a slight extent. HEAVY KAINS IN SOME COUNTIES. Locally, there was excessive precipi tation in Ed ge field, Marlon, Marlboro 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, lu this part of thc State the rainfall amounted to from 3 to over 0 inches. This area Includes thc 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 tiic northern parts are in need of more rain. The week's average for the State was 2.00 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 the west ern counties. With the exception of a number of localities that report the contrary, old corn is a.fair crop and is about laid by in clean condition. Much corn was destroyed on low lauds where the rains were excessive. Young corn has a good color and looks promising. COTTON OENEltAI.LY I.M I'itOVKL). 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 mak ing rapid growth, too rapid for proper fruitage in thc 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 no longer threaten injury, in tile western counties most fields are clean, hut grassy fields ls the prevailing condi tion in the eastern ones. Cotton is poorest, and yellow, on sandy lands, but most of it lias a healthy color, es pecially sea island cotton. Tobacco curing continues and thc crop as a whole has improved. Melon shipment arc not heavy, as thc crop is light as yet. Planting fall truck crops is underway. Mino crops con tinue to thrive. I'caches still rotting. Other fruits fairly plentiful. Pastures are excellent. Farm laborers are scaice in many parts of the State; Edwins I). Phelps, a millionaire resident of New York city, committed suicide by inhaling illuminating gas on Monday.

Tho following resol?tldns were pre sontod and adopted at the session ot the Press association at Wh i to -Sta no SprlngB the evenlnjr before* adjourn* mont: Your- committee, on tho death of Mr. N.- G. Gonzalos would offer the following as Its report! lu view of the suelden and lamont obie death of our brother Journalist, Mr.. ' Narcisse Genor Gonzales, on January 18, 1803, let us add atribute to- his work and to his memory. In him wc recognize a. man of the highest typo. He was a man of true principle. He hated the low and mean with an -entferne hatred ne exacted from his fellow men, especially those in public position, the same irreproachable conduct he re quired from himself. He was a man of decided conviction, ne thought clearly and logically and always knew what he believed. If he made mis takes at times in the application of principles to conditions and actions of others, so that he was judged to bc unfair and even unjust, yet his positiveness and firmness in convic 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 movements and policies In advance of those above him, which, of course, meant frequent differences of opinion and opposition to lils views. He was a careful and accurate man, upd yet his was a quick and penetrating mind. His position was always positive and clearly defin ed. These qualities won for him suc cess and eminence as a journalist. He wan thc founder of thc Columbia State in 1801, and soon made it one of the best newspapers in the whole south. Ills services to Columbia, South Caror liua, and to thc south, cannot now be measured. He was a patriot of tho truest type and a worthy public ser vant. In him we have lost one of the most brilliant and successful editors of tlic new south, and this association has lost au active, efficient and loyal member. ' Let us emulate his virtues. J. C. Mace, W. II. Grcever^ ll. II. Watkins. Committee. A WILD GOOSE CHASE. Seeking a Buried Treasure Near the City ol'Sa va ii na li. W. FI. Haslip, of Philadelphia, Pa., is in Savannah, Ga., to dig for buried treasure on an adjacent set island. It ii; not a wild, Captain Kidd kind of an adventure he is on, however. The treasure he is after was buried on Warshaw island In 1809 by a Confede rate soldier of the name of Amos Herien, who died in Philadelphia last week. Herien, who had been in the employ of Mr. Haslip for the past ten years, often told that gentleman that li? had.treasure hurled on the Georgia coast. Shortly before his death he told Mr. Haslip that in hts trunk would bc found certain papers and parchments t! at would be of yalue*'to ,blm, and that the-proporty was all to be Mr. Haslip's after Berjendled. 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 contained a map of Warsaw island, locating a cer \ tain spot. Accompanying it was a statement to the effect tnat Berlen was tirst mate on the Confederate blockade runner, Lucy Verne, out or Baltimore. On one trip when a rich Virginia family named Starke was aboard the Verne was chased by a federal war vessel. Finding themselves overhauled it was determined to buy ashore all the treasure aboard. Berien was one of the party assigned to bury the trcas ' ure. He made a map of the location on a drumhead, which he kept. Sever al times, Berien says, he attempted to recover thc treasure, but some thing inlerferred. Mr. Haslip is post , ti ve of the correctness of the story and says bc will devote a month if , necessary to locating thc treasure, which, according to Horten's mem orandum, consists of gold coin and silver plate._ Forty Days of I'uir Weather. Last Wednesday was St. Swithin's day and according to an old legend If the day is clear, forty days of cloud less weather will ensue. Tho old legend runs as follows. Swithin was thc bishop of Winchester and a most devout man. His death took place in 1832, and, in accordance with his wishes, lie was buried in the church yard where the "sweet rain of heaven" could fall on his grave. When the bishop was canonized an attempt was made by tho clergy to remove the body from the church yard to the choir of the cathedral as a mark of much greater honor, July l?-was set for thc removal but when the day came lt rained in such torrents that thc plan could not be cariied into ef fect. lt continued to rain for 40 days afterward by which time the clergy were fully convinced that thc good bishop, now the sainted Swithin, was satisfied to have his bones remain where they were, and they let them rest there._ COHN KO it Pom/ntv -Corn is one of tlie staples as poul try food, and yVt we can trace a large per cent, of the fail ures to its ohuse. If given to fowls daily it will produce fat and this in time completely ruins the fowl so far as laying is concerned, but if fed in moderation, as a change from oats, wheat and peas, it makes au almost indispensable supply, lt is excelent also for growing chickens, but these, as with the old fowl, lt must be fed sparingly. During very cold weather without corn lt is well nigh Impossi ble to keep the hens laying, but even then best results are obtained by par tially roasting lt. For fattening poul try for market meal takes first place, and the work can be accompllsed sev eral days ii nicker than when other is used. When preparing poultry for market feed all they will eat' but when feeding hens for eggs let corn be only an occasional feed, or only a par tial ration if given dally. Oats should be the principal grain food for laying hens, the corn being used simply as a change. When thus fed it produced most excellent results.

Changing Their Tune. The Augusta Chronicle says nothing more notable hasoccuored in the last year than the radical change in thc treatment of the negro question by Northern newspapers. For years past The Chronicle has urged the going of negroes to Northern states, believ ing that these very changes that have come about would result, and that Northern communities having this ne gro problem to deal with to facearaong. themsclf, and not simply to preach to Southern audience would see things In a new light. Tho following are some of the recent expressions by Northern men and newspapers based on the race trouble and lynching in Delaware, in Illinois, or Indiana: The St. Paul Pioneer-Press says We are tired of negroes and the negro problem, and we are outraged with negro preachers denouncing lynching without: a word ot condemnation for the negro brutes that cause them. . The Kansas.City Journal says The negro race- is but one ?r?noration out of slavery, and but a few generations out of barbarism. When he reverts to barbarism \ and ' commits a crime against womankind the punishment will be fully as swift and horrible in the north as in the south. The Mineapolls Tribune says: The wave of black horror that is creeping over the country will soon or late be met and topped and overwhelmed by a wave ot horror that will leave the superior race rid of everything of the Inferior but the brutal barbarous I passions and hiblt thc conllict has bred. The dark horror that hangs over the south is creepiug across the Potomac, thc Ohio, the Mississippi and menacing the north as well. Dr. Lorimer, the famous pulpit ora tor and platform lecturer, declares: Instead of holding meetings to de nounce lynching, wc should hold meet ing with a view of forever stopping barbarous assult on the women of our laud. They are too frequent, and what wonder human nature boils over before such bloody deeds? wc should make it plain that white men will not tolerate attacks upon their wives and daughters. This is the im perative duty of the hour, and 1 trust it may not be overlooked by our colored citizens in their talk about racial prejudice. The lynching is a regrettable affair, but the wanton murder of a defenseless woman is more so. This butchery of our wo men must be blotted out some way or other. We reproduce these statements by staunch Northern and Republican journals especially for the benclit or the negroes, and that our readers, generally, may see what a change has come over Northern sentiment on this negro question. A Tough Story. A Columbia, Mo., dispatch to the New York Sun says: The Missouri river Hood has given P. C. Nuckles of Itooheport a new house, completely furnished. The high water drove Mr. Nuckles away from his farm, and when he returned to it he found on his land a comparatively new house, which was in good condition, despite its water journey. There is untiling about it to indicate who the owner ls." TWKNTY-KIVK thousand men labor ed from early morning till late at night In the Kansas wheat belt Sunday.

After a service of one season at White Stone Lit hia Springs, as resident, physician, I do not h?sit?t? to say that the ctTect. of the water upon'those who. drink it for any length of time, has been perfectly marvelous. .^Invariably, ah increase both in Mesh and appetite was perceptible in one w-jek, proving it, to~ be a mineral water of undoubted powerful tonic property. Its peculiar adapt ability to diseases originating from disc l'd?rs of the kidneys, bladder and liver, such as dropsy, Bright's disease, diabetes and uric acid calculi, and all forms or dyspepsia, rheumatism and gout, is to be expected from thc splendid analysis. It has been noted frequently that visitors ncfore coming here had to follow every meal with some form of corrective, or confine themselves entirely to predigested foods; soon discarded these entirely, being delighted to lind tl?at' the waler alone-nature's own remedy-sulliced. .
