Time lia* t'orii? for Negroe* te Teees] Their ?wn 8e*e*K Editor The-IntelUgeneerT . In Wed-I nesi?y morning's issue of your goodI Paper, therfe appeared a Columbia dat?] Une article giving in part a sermon de livered by F*v. C. E. .Berts, D.?D., pas tor of the Columbia. First Baptist church. As Mr. Burts is a former An derson county man, the article attract ed considerable local interest. Mr/ Burts, in bio sermon, referred to the bill introduced in the legislature by Representative Fortner. and vigorous ly advocated by Gov. Blease which deprive the negro of training in schools by white teachers. In part. Mr. Burts said: I "The southern, people are the best fitted to help the negro to a higher life. It is their duly to save him? have him in a trained mind and an up right life Mr. Burts says we send missionaries 1 o Af rlcg I to teach the negro and that we should not deny ban these bless-' Ings here at home. In other words; the Columbia minister is In favor of white women and white men teaching in negro schools, which, is notalng more nor less thanadvocating social equality and which, if permitted, will In time, lead to the eociai interming ling of the raceB. God almighty nev er intended that the two races mix, tout a majority of "the white-livered Yankees assisted by a few of oat; southerners; are trying to bring about conditions by which the negro will not only be the social equal of the whites, but will take charge or the govern ment machinery. Butynatters are drawing nearer an neat/ to a "show down"?whether white man or negroes are going' to' control America?sad whether', each: race will, be kept separate and dis tlnct??r if the United States sluill be come a nation of mule-niggers. .. The emancipation of 'the negroes was act occasioned by an outburst of Christian philanthropy on the part at? the north. ?6t a bit of it The north t era men were the first slaveowners, you-well, but h? pined and died in the cold winters.So tils- northern lasted sold mm tn tbe southern man, . who round the negro exactly suited to th? southern" farm. work. The south .was sparsely settled and the land held In largo bodies. With slave labor the southern planter be gan to grow rich by leaps and bounds. The north soon became Jealous?and then was the first time thai tbe relig ious atti Gcd fearing north experienc ed its first attack of pity for the big 'at 'ppasnm eating negro down on the I southern- farms. The growing rich-; ness of the south threatened tire com mercial domination of. the north, and a wail went up for the. liberation of the negro Bslves?not that the average i| northerner cared a whoop in J lades for the African, but saw In emancipa tion a death blow to.southern progress and- prosperity.
