The Greenville G. W. SIRRINE, Supt. - - BILL ARPS SOUND ADVICIE. SOUTH MUST PRESERVE NAME. Our People Should Move Right Along and Keep in the Middle of the Road. Lst us move right straight along and keep in the middle of the road. All is not lost save honor, nor will the North dare to cut down our representation In Congress-such a move would alienate their new Southern converts, for Southern Republicans are at heart all lilywhites and have no use for the negro in politics. Southern Republicans have been under the ban ever since the war, and they realize.that it Is because they are alligned with the negro. Captain Lowry is all right when he says, "but for the negro in pnlitics the Republican party would have a good chance to capture and hold the South." The captain is a Republican -a TennesseeaD, a Georgian, a banker, and has travelca much, and his party up North ought to give weight to his opinions. He is a gentleman, a man of integrity, and stands high in financial circles ail over the country. Financially he Is a success and liberal with his money, but he w ill not take Carnegio's advice and give it all away before he dies. Yes, the nigger Is still in the wood pile, and the joke of it is the niggor don't know it. There are not a dozen negroes in this country who care a straw about voting. If the white office seekers would let them alorne they wouldent go about the polls on election day. What is wanted is to purify the candidates. If this can be done in Atlanta why not elsewhere? We all rejoiced over the election of Major Mime, for he ran for mayor as a gentleman and had no heelers, nor would he ask any man for his vote or allow any corrupt electioneering by his friends. He stubbornly refused to promise anything to anybody, and, strange to say, was elected. But the Republican party is growing very fast in this section, and will grow into respectability if they will let the negro alone. Mr. Lowry is right. Some years ago when we had suffered a similar defeat my friend Newt Tumlin was greatly distressed, and told me in aw whisper that there was only one way to get even with them, and that was to jine 'em. Well, there are lots of folks jining 'em around in these parts, and it is hard to tell who is a Democrat and who is not. They tell me that a Democratic officeholder and two of the executive committee of this county voted for McKinley and our neighboring county of Polk went for him by 500 majority. Maybe that is an evolution that will stop the threatened reduction of our representation, for our Republi can~ friends don't want that to happen any more than we do, and they will file a protest and fight it. What we want at the South is to preserve our good name, our historic honor and our traditions. A section that baa produced Washington, Jeffer son, Madison, Monroe, Jackson and Polk, as presidents, Clay and Calhoun and Lee and Stonewall Jackson and President Davis muist hold up her proud head sad vindicate her honor. Who are woe? We import no foreign era to do our work, and hire nO Hlea slans to do our fighting. How did our hearts burn within us as we read the brave words of General Evans to the Confederate veterans at Augusta: "Do not let the history we have made be pervorted by partisan pens or polluted by sectional slime. Our schools must be cleared of Northern rubbish dumped into the minds of our children. We want, a literature that will not continue divisions, but, will contain the honest, relation of facts, that will unify the youth of this country in common ap j,.(neItion of the trutithe of history." Yes, we hrnve been shamefully care less in the selcttion of our school books. The poison has already crept The Journal: to come to see us for any thing that meo year.

There should be a school commission in every South ern State, for it is a well-known fact that there are teachers who are secret ly paid by Northern publishers to get their books into our schools. We cannot control their literature, but we can their school books. A few weeks ago an artful canvasser visited our town with an attractive history of the world in ten volumes. He was the out talkingist book agent I have ever met, and his scheme was to give away five or six sets in every town to influential men of culture. He called it giving away, but required the cos' of the binding, which he said was $14. The sale price was $45. 1 was one of the favored six, and he fed me liberally on flattery and assured me that there was not a line in all the volumes that any Southern ma'n would object to nor could any read or tell whether the auth ors lived North or South. He had one volume as a sample, and I noted that the authors were distinguished pro fessors in some Northern colleges. The volume was well written and I was pleased with it and with the price 0 and the flattery, and so I put my name down with the condition that on exam ination of the other volumes I mig, t accept or reject. In due time tbey came and I took up the ninth volume that contained the history of our civil war. The book was opened at random and there was an engraving of William LI. Seward and the first pargraph read: "He bad hardly got installed into offiee when he was con fronted by three auda clous commissioners from the rebel States." Audacious ! Just think of it. I was mad and got up and walked about and then played on the piano a little and then openied the book again at Mr Calhoun's p'cture and read another paragraph, which said that there was not much difference between Calhoun and John Brown, for they were both fanatics and would go down in history on the same plane. Of course the book~s were rejected, but the agent has my influence as a cultured gentleman.I " Timeo Danaes forentos dora.'' "LBe ware of the Grecians when they come with g if ts," and beware of histories published by Northern houses unless they arc writter. by Southern authors. Sometimes when I ruminate about all their slanders and lies and bragga docio, I get sad and then mad and dis couraged for fear they will drive us into another war and we will have to whip 'em again. When a country dog comes to town he hides underneath the wagon as long as hecan, but the town dogs drive him out and he runs off and backs up in the corner of the fence and whips the whole gang and all they dare to do is to stand off and bark at him. Those Yankees are bark ing at us now. Lot 'em bark. Those who come down here to live with us are good people and soon fail in love with us. I never knew an exception except that Mrs. Cantlold, who wrote that malignant and fool letter back to her folks and said she longed to see the time come when black heels should tread on white necks. Those who come down here to I.tay soon harmon ize with our folks and their sons marry our daughters and our sons marry their daughters. Old Dr. Kirk says it's a mixture of blue blood and green-. backs and makes a fair average. So it's all right, and no loss on our side. BILL AUP.

THU SOUTH IS THIRE&T4NEj QUESTION OF APPOltTIONMEN: Extreuo Itepublicans Want to os Down Representationi to Acmur Vote Cast. Mr. Wm. E. Curtis, the most note newspaper correspondent in Washing gton, in discussing the reapportiot mont in Congress, writes as follows: The fourteenth amendment to th constitution of the United States prc vides that representatives in Congres shall be apportioned among the State according to their respective numbers counting the whole number of person in each State, excluding Indians no taxed ; but when the right to vote a any election, etc., is denied to any o the male inhabitants of such State etc., or in any way abridged, etc., the basis of representation shall be reduc ed in the proportion which the numbo of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizons 21 yeari of age in each State. The census returns, which are now being computed, will show the number of male citizens in each State. The returns from the recent elections in Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro lina, Mississippi and other of the South ern States which have disfranchised the colored population will show the number allowed to vote. If a different basis of calculation is desired, the cen sus returns will give the number of illiterates in each State. Several of the Southern States, in order to pro. hibit negroes from voting, have estab lished an educational qualification. Persons who cannot read and write are not allowed to vote unless they served in the Confederate army or their parents were voters prior to the adoption of the fifteenth amendment. That lets in the " poor white trash." An educational qualiilcation prevails in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and perhaps some of the other States as well as in the South, but was adopted for different reasons. It is difficult to see how Congress can ignore the fourteenth amendment in preparing the reapportionment bill which will be acted upon at the next session, and the attention of Represen tat.ve Hopkins, who will be chairman of the committee, is respectfully di rected to that instrument. According to the constitution the apportionment must be based upon the population of the different States, after deducting the number of illiterates that have ieen disfranchised in Massachusotte, South Carolina and elsewhere. If this is not done the apportionment law ma be set aside as void, if anybody wi i Lake the trouble to bring the matter before the supreme court. Some of the Republican leaders are 3onferring as to the propriety of apply ing this constitutional provision to the 3outhern States, which would lose ibout one-third and in some cases one ialf of their representation in Con ress and in the electoral college. If ,he vote of South Carolina, for exam le, is made a basis of apportionment, hat State will be entitled to one mem er of Congress, because the entire umber of ballots cast in the seven jongressional -districts did not exceed he number polled for some of the nembers from the Northern States. e. these seven South Carolina dis ricts heve seven times as much repre eatation in Congress and the electoral ollege as the districts in the North. If any one will tLke the trouble to ook at the returns he will notice that ery few Re3publican votes are ever aat South of Tennessee and Missouri. Zo carvass was made by the R .publi ans this year in any of the Gulf Statee r in South Carolina, Georgia or Ar ansas. The reason for this was ie 3ntly explained in the United States anate by Mr. TilIman, who said "we ieated them, we bulldozed them, we .ot themt, and finally drove them way from the polls." Under the Till aan syste u, for example, Mr. Norton fSouth Carolina, was elected to Con ress by 1,765 votes to 151 for Mr. 3vans, his opponent, while M r. Cald rell, of Illinois, received 23.293, against 1,053 for his opponent. Mr. Caidwell lone received nearly as many votes as rere cast for all the seven members of oug'ress from South Carolina or Miss is'p,>1. Mr. Foss, of Illinois, received iore. An examiration of the returns from outh Carolina shows a singular uni srmity In the number of votes cast in 898 for five of the seven members as ollows: Dem. Rep. airst district..........3.030 1,529 lecond district......... 4.073 122 P'hird district. ......... 4 029 332 'ourth district......... ..4.467 165 ''ifth district.......... ..4 230 None sixth district.. ...... ... .1.765 151 ieventh district........4,433 595 Totals................26,027 2,804 Mississippi furnishes a similar illus ration. The largest number of votes ast for any member of Congress from )'at State was 4,943. In one district he Republican candidate received 58, n another 373, in another 142, in an thor 327 and in another 171, while in we remaining districts no Rsepublican rotes were cast at all. The country districts of Illinois offer good comparison : Dem. Rtop. Cleventh district..16.564 20 600 rwelfth district. ,.14,178 21,484 E'hirtoenth district... 14,977 20.635 ~ourteonth district... 19,431 21,417 ~lfteenth district. ... 20,901 21,143 ixteenth district...21.82 17,021 oeventeonth district.. 23,293 21,053 Totals............102 i4,aj: The entire number of votes cast for nembers of Congress in the seven dis ricts of South Carolina was 28,831, and n the seven districts of Mississippi 56,797, while in the seven districts in [llinois, where the average is about hho same as through the Northern 3tates, the number of votes east was 174,379. Thus, in IllinoIs 274,379 voters have seven rep~resentatives, or an aver igo of one member of Congress to 39,197 rotors. In Mississippi there is a repro sentativo for every 3,083 voters, and in South Carelina one for every 4,119 r'ho average member of Congress from Illinois represents 10,000 more voters than all the seven representatives from S~outh Carolina or the seven from Miss. iesip p1 combined. Other lessons can be drawn from this oomnarison. It is eallyu..j.....or P. the Southern Btates to have such at excessive representation in the elec '. totral college and in the national con. ventions which nominate the Presi t dent. If the negro is not to participate 61 in the government he should not be represented in Congress or in the elec d toral college, and those who prohibit his participation ought not to enjoy the advantage they receive by the disfranchisement of a part of their apopulation. hie Is not a now question, but it will 9 come at the approaching session of Congress with more force than ever before. Some of the Republican lead ers-and I understand that the Presi b dent is among them-think it would not be wiae to do anything that will excite unfriendly fooling in the South, because so many business men in that section are leaving the .Democratic party and coming over to the Republi cans. STONEWALL JACKSON'S WIDOW. The Rollet of a Southern Hero--The Story of Her Life. A correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle was recently in Charlotte, N. C., and wrote as follows concerning the widow of Stonewall Jackson: Mrs. Jackson is now over 70 years old, and, though eutfering and sorrow have added their traces to those of the passing years, her face still retains much of the fascination and beauty which enthralled the then awkward, dilident young military cadet from Lexington when he first met her as Anna Morrison at the home of Gen. David Hill. Her black, luxuriant hair has few traces of gray and her black eyes are piercing and lustrous still. Since the death of Mrs. Jackeon's only child, Mrs. Christian, several years ago, she has devoted her life to her grandchildren, who reside with her. Her home is a plain two-story building on Trade street. To the un pretentious dwelling, however, a pictu resque charm is given by ivy and ma(teria vines climbing at will about the veranda, violet bordered walks leading to the hospitable doorway and stately magnolias casting their luxu riant foliage over the whole. Within is the refined atmosphere of a typical Southern home. In the drawing-room the most conspicuous object is a large oil painting of General Jackson. Por traits of other heroes whose memories are still sacred in the hearts of old Confederates are also hung everywhere upon the walls, Interspersed with tattered flags and other trophies of the lost cause. Here the widow of one of the great military geniuseo of the world has passed her peaceful days, busied with her household duties or superintend ing the education of her grandchild ren. In her " Life of Jackson " she said; "The home of my girlhood was a large, old-fashioned house, surrounded by an extensive grove of pine forest trees, on a plantation in Lincoln County, North Carolina. My father was Rv Dr. R:ibert Hall Morrison, the firet president of Davidson college. He was a graduate of the university of rhe Stato, and of the same class at President James K. Polk, Bishop Green and others of note in church ano State. Mrs. Jackson's mother was Mary Graham, daughter of Gen. Joseph Graham of Revolutionary fame, and sister of Gen. W. A. Graham, who was once secretary of the navy. Mrs. Jackson was one of the ten chil dren, six daughters and four sons. She spent much of her early life in Wash. ington with her uncle, Gen. Graham. While on a visit t: Lexington, Va., she'met her futuro husband, then Prof. T. J. Jackson, whom she marricd in July, 185'7. Gen. Jackson died in 1863, May 10, and left his widow and one child, a girl, Julia, who was but a few months old. Trhe two and skillful, old nurse, Hetty, returned to the Morri son home in Lincoln County, wherej they lived a quiet, life until Julia was< ready to enter college, when the moth-, er and child moved to Charlitte. After finIshing school Julia married W. E. Christian, a talented newspaper man, now in the service of the Seaf board Air Line railroad at Portsmouthb, Vai. Mrs. Jackson lived with the young couple in St. Paul, Minn., Min-. neapolis and other western towns up to 1889, when Mrs. Christian died, after which she returned to her home in Charlotte and brought with her & Julia and Jackson Cnristian, her grar~d enidren. Miss Christilan, sister oft Mrs. Jackson's son-In-latw, camne to livet with her.t Mrs. Jackson was always an interest leg person. She lived a quiet life among her friends and relatives. Dur-t ing this quiet and comparatively lone ly life she conceived an idea of pub< lishing the character of her husband, esp~ecially as a legacy for her grand-| children, who were too young to re member hearing from her own lips the reminiscences of their hero grand. father. It was by her close application to this writing, in addition to the almost burdensome correspondence which her position entailed upon her, that caused the strain on the nerves around the eye, which brought bor years uf suf fering anal will bring death. She had the nerves cut several years ago, but the relief was only temporary. The result of the operation now performed in Baltimore ls dangerous and Is< awaited here with much anxiety by her friends. Mrs. Jackson's; Charlotto home is very near the Southern railway sta-1 tIon, where an aged Mexican war vet eran who served under Jackson, has< stood for years as guard. Hie took < great pride in guarding Mrs. Jackson and lost no opportunity to point out the house to strangers. The house is a plain two-story frame building and the yard is adorned by several beauti ful evergreen trees. When at home Mrs. Jackson lived a simple but plea sant life, surrou'nded by her bright grandchildren, who are now elf at school. Mrs. Jackson spent part of every year at L'exington, Va., her health permitting. It, was there that she spent her marrIed life and where her husband and daughter are buried. --The Charleston Exposition Com pany will probably ask the Legisla - ture for S50,000, with which to erect a State building and provide exhits. THE1 NEGRO AS A LABORPlt. Whites Best for the Cotton Mills ami Negroes Best for Ootton Fiiehls o the Soth. The question of the employment o negroes in Southern cotton mills hat been taken up by the industrial corm mission, before which James L. Orr, president and treasurer of the Pied mont Manufacturing Company, South Carolina, testified that, as a rule, no negro help was employed in the cot ton mills except for such labor as Is placed upon scavengers, firemen, etc. Mr. Orr believes that preference should be given to white labor as long as it can be got, because it has had a hard time In the South in competition with negro labor, and this is the only spbre, as it were, set aside for its benefit. So far as he is concerned, he proposes to use white labor whenever he can do so to advantage. Negro labor was used in the South for a num ber of years before the war to a limited extent, and a case is cited at the late Saluda mill, near Columbia, where some negro labor was employed. Some mills use negroes on the plickers in the picker room. Mr. Orr did not consider it dosirable to mix the races in their employment. In the first place, between the class of hands that work in the mill and the negro laborer there is considerable feeling, and, in the second plano, the social feature that it would bring about would be objectionable. This feeling is not carried to the same extent on the -farms nor in the mines, as there the labor consists principally of men, whereas in the cotton mills there is a large number of women. The tende -y of colored labor In South Carolina is so work for a less rate of wages than the white, as they can live on very much less, and the effect Is to hold down white labor to a lower level. In the matter of the colonization of the negro, which has been advocated by some of the witnesses before the commission, the judgment of Mr. Orr was that it would be a great misfor tune to the South if any scheme of colonization should be carried out. Negro labor is the best for the farm that the South can get. Negroes can live on less and they can do more work when properly treated than any other class of labor that the South has. 3ut for the negro labor the South could not live on five cent cotton, and in his opinion were it not for five cent cotton the South would not be able to control the cotton markets of the world. Mr. Orr believes that the negro has retrograded in intelligence In the low er counties of South Carolina-tnat is since the control of the whites has been removed-whore they gather In large bodies by themselves and where they have no association with the white people. In the neighborhood of Piedmont the negroes work as car penters and bricklayers by the sido of the whites. This is particularly soon In the building of mills and ware touses, etc., upon which negro car p)enters plasterers and others work iong with the white people.-Now Y ork Commercial. Da. WHiSIATr GRnOWS BOLDIt. le Declares That, the Southern Blap lists are Divide(l as to Whether They Are Protestants. Rev. Dr. William H . Whitsitt, late >residentof the Southern Baptis t Theo ogical seminary, made a notable ad tress before the Baptist Congress, vhich ha;4 -been in session at Rich nond, Va., in which he adhered to his >d position with reference to Baptist kistory, which created such a contro 'ersy in the denomination, and his Ltterances wreoeven bolder than here ofor%. Dr. Whitsitt sad " Southern Baptists are divided in entiment. One party asserts that Bap dets are not Protestants; the other as torts that no man can be a Baptist ex :ept in name only, who is not also a Protestant. To hold and teach the loctrine of a univer-sal spiritual church which, only with respect of the inter aal work of the spiritual truth of frace, may be called Invisible, is alike Smark of Protestant and of Baptist, alth. To deny that doctrine is under tood to be a mark of Rlomanisam. Many bouthern B-iptists deny that doctrine. The doctrine that baptism is essential o salvation appeared shortly after the postolic age, ane brought in its wake baptismn of necessity, which, in all I gee, has been commonly petrformed by I sporsion and effusion. .It was not long I efore the distinctive princ!ple of bapt ism began by this means to bc over-. *hrown. The last man who is shown toJ ave held and practiced it was Manus, I vho wrota a letter to Cyprian, of Car- I hago, about the year 225, in which hoC ippears to have advocated the Baptist :ontention. After that date, though nany churches and parties held and )racticed immersion, no record has sver yet been discovered of any whot rield and practiced that it is essentir' so baptism until the Baptists woroe restored in 1641. Farthormore, his boric testimony regarding the re-Intro-. :luction of immersion In 1041, after the rite had long been disu. d, was abun-t lant, definite, circumstantial, consie bent and quite as conclusive as the hiistoric testimony that Napoleon the Lirst was named Em~rperor of lFrance in 1804. It is rejected by our Baptists who are not Protest ,nts, but that is merely he result of their substantially Oath >lic position." Dr. Whitsitt declared :" So f ar as Jresent research ha: gone, no BaptIst tas been found between A. D. 255 and .641, yet the exigencies of the B3ap tists vho are not Protestants absolutely re luire that a chain of Baptists shall be lemonstrated to exist in the actual tucoesdsion for every day of that pe -led." -'rho last day of October closed the Isaia year of the State of New Jersey. During the year, according to the re port of the finance department, forty >ne trusts were organized under the laws of the State with a capital rang ing from $5,000,000 to $160,000,000 none are reported under flive millions -and with a total capitalization of *900,000,000. During the last two years the State has received from charters for trusts a sum amounting to a mil lion of dollars, while in other years the foes received from the same source am ounted to only a few thousands an nu ally.

Tobacco an Article of Commerce and CIgarettes a Subject of State Itogn latson-No State Can Prohibit their liportation in Original Packages. The United States supreme court has rendered an opinion in the case of Win. 13. Austin vs. the State of Ton nossoo, involving the question as to the recognition to which cigarettes are entitled under the law. The caso originated In the Stato of Tenne8soo and it called into question tho validity of the State law regulat Ing the sale of this article of commerce on the ground that it was an infringe ment of the right of Congress to re gulato interstato commerce. The Tenneeso supreme court upheld the law and the decision of the U. S. su preme court sustained that verdict, though not without disapproval of soin of the positions taken, and then upon a very narrow margin, four out of nine members joining in a dissent ing opinion and another member of the court (Justico White) placing his as sont upon grounds difforent from those announced by Justice Brown, who handed down the opinion. The caso grow out of the importation of cigar ottoes into Tennessoo from North Caro lina. They were taken into the State Ln tile ordinary sized cigaretto pack ages, about two by four inches, and theso packages wore loosely thrown into baskote which were uncovered. 'ho claim was made that those cig Arette packages wero what is known to the law as original packages ; but without cicarly defining an original package, the court held that it was Iear that such packages could not be 3o regarded. Justico Brown, in pasE ing upon the caso, said that tie pack ages wore obviously made up with a view of evadlg the law, and as he spoke he held one of the little cigar otto cases up to the viw of his audi tors. On thIs point the delisionm of the Stato court, to the elfoct that the pack %ges wore not original, was fully con I Irmed. On another phase of the case the % State court was not so fully endorsed. lho Tennessou court had hold that Algarottos aro not an article of com norce. With this view Justico Brown AWk -ue, and he deliverod quito a iisortationi upon tho subject. What 3ver is an object of barter and sale is, 10 said, an articlO of commerceo, and nust, be so recognized. Tobacco had )>on teuch ar- article for four hundre1 ?cars. it had boon mado the subject >f taxation and indeed had become noro widely scattered than any other voegotablo. Probably, he added, no )ther vtogetlo has contrib~uted so much01 to the comfort and solace of the humaun race. This being the ease it, was entirely beyond bounds to say that tobacco wabs not an article of comn mcr-eo. He thien took notice of the slaimn that cigarottes are an ebpeoially harmrful form of tobacco, and while he soncodedl that, this might b3 the case, 11 remarked that this claim was of :omparatlvely recent orIgIn. Still, he bild that cIgarettos are as much a suib oct of State regulation as is lIquor, mnd he further hold that while no. stato law could prohIbit, importation n origiual packages it was entirely :ompetent for a LegIslature to regu ate the sale because of the general elief In the deleterious effect of the rtiolo. Theore was a dJissenting opinion of iustico Shires, in which the ChIef ustice and Justices Brewer and Peck am joined. They based their dissent pen thte theory that Congrees has ex lusivo control of interstate commerce. -Ceculars have been issued direct ng attentIon to the fact that the ninth nnual session of the National Irriga ion Congress will bo held in Chicago eginning November 21. The motto f the Congress, "SBave the forests and tore the floods," is one that may be dopted by the whole peopie of the Jnited St-stes.
