NO NEGRO EXODUS.
I
Much has been written about negro
emigration, and much will yet be
written. We will not have our popu
lation reduced much in that way. A
few have left under inducements held
out by sharpers who needed their la
bor, and care not for the laborer and
who impose upon them when they get
them in their power. Many find
their way back to their old homes
unheralded, and are glad to remain
the rest of their lives. .Sometimes a
slight stir is made over their treat
ment when numbers giv some prom
inence to the event. As a rule the
negro likes bis home, he does not like
to move, lie is easily satisfied and
lives on little.
We need not look for any exodus
of the negros from South Carolina.
He is here, and he is here to stay,
even though his vote is not counted
when cast.
He is multiplying rapidly and,
not gaining in efficiency as rapidly
as he is gaining in numbers, it is
an alarming sign that the present
generation, is thriftless compared
with that set free us a result of the
late war.
A visit to Clotlin I'niversity would
convince one who examined thor
oughly into the work there done,
that he is capable of quick and suc
cessful development, especially in
the mechanic arts. When so devel
oped, he is u help to his own race
and proportionality ceases to be a
menuncc to the Alglo-Suxon.
have called him to the front as a I
delegate to the constitutional eon-j
vent ion.
He bits heavy strokes, and they 1
cut deep but it won’t interfere with
the ring which is as strong as ever.
PISTOL SHOOTING.
Much to the annoyance of quiet-
loving citizens there is often shoot
ing of pistols after nightfall. Some
times this occurs on our streets as
parties wend their way homeward
from the business part of the town.
Rut these are not tiiu only ones who
violate a town ordinance and arouse
u sleeping coinnuinily. The quiet,
law abiding citizen should not be dis
turbed by those who would make
night hideous and use tiie darkness
to cover their retreat.

NOT AT THE EXPOSITION.
How is it that our county is doing
little or nothing towards being rep
resented in the state’s exhibit at At
lanta? Are we so independent that
we can stand alone; can take cure of
ourselves in this age of push and of
combinations?
Spartanburg is ahead of every
other county in enterprise, an ! stands
next to Charleston in wealth. In
natural resources, she heads the list
and in developmant of these she
stands first. Rut the world does not
know this, if we do. Nor will the
world advertise our attractions for
us. It will soon bo too late to do
anything in this direction so far as
the Cotton States Exposition at At
lanta is concerned.
We will go to Atlanta; notice with
wonder the marvelous development
in nearly every branch of human in
dustry, see the display that nearly
every state in the union has made,
showing her attractions, and then in
silence lament our short sightedne<s.
Nor are we guiltless right here at
Gaffney. We claim the best portion
of the state, our mineral wealt h is
great, but nothing has been done by
us to make it known, i'erhaps it is
not yet too lute to act.
JAPAN STILL PROMINENT.
This island nationality of the East
still holds the prominence that her
successful tilt with China gave her.
Forty years has sufficed to transform
her people, and lift the nation out
of obscurity. She has not held aloof,
as has China, from other nations
that were far ahead of her in the
arts of Avar and of peaoe, hut adopt
ing from them what she saw was for
her national progress, and bending
her energies to strengthen herself,
she presents a spectacle to tne world
that the world may ivill draw a let-
son from.
It is not that we have not enough
to work will), or that our opportuni
ties are few, so much us not knowing
how to use what we have, and thus
best improve the opportunities as
they cour.e.
We respect ail the more t he man
or the woman who lias, unaided,
risen above Ids early surroundings
and made himself respected, by sheer
force of character. As with individu
als, so witli nations.
Rut .Japan is not’yet out of danger.
Jealousy is strong among nations,
and she may yet feel its sharp tooth.

[Correspondence of '1111; Ledukr. |
Reaver dam, S. C., Aug. —As I
have seen nothing lately in iiiE Led
ger from tins corner, and as there
perhaps has not been a single contri
bution to the waste basket from this
place, I hereby take ! he opportunity
of penning a few news notes and send
ing you. Of course you are to decido
whether those notes are for the col
umns of your paper or for the waste
basket.
Well, 1 suppose I shall have to be
gin as all the other correspondents
do, by saying that the crops are very
good in this section, hut if 1 were not
to do so, some of these correspon
dents who write so much about the
crops and weather—wet and dry, cold
and hot—would think that the editor
had made a great mistake in not con
signing this letter to that evil place—
the waste ba-ket. Rut out hardly
knows, from the way they write,
whether or not they look upon the.--
“line craps” and all liiir. weather as
a blessing or a plague lo their com
munity—which are they doing, prais
ing or lamenting? Of course we want
to feel about it as the other corres
pondents do, so as to be on good
terms with the Prutherhood. So we
will venture to say that we think all
ought to he thankful for such “tine
craps” and weather every day. We
have got some of thai tine, good trait
too, about which they have been wris-
ing so much. Y\ c are serving it too;
preserving, canning and drying it.
So come to see us Christinas, .dr. Ed
itor, bring all the brotherhood of cor
respondents, and we ll have some of
our line corn made into bread to eat
with our line fruit.
1 notice thai there has been very
little said about line melons (.now I m
not finding fault at this, for i m not
a Flaw I’icker, a Flaw Corrector, nor
a Slim Sam) ami 1 can’t say much
about the line melons either,for some
of us have failed in the watermelon
crop this year. Rut Mr.Editor, ifyoii
or any of the correspondents wish a
nice treat on melons, just come to see
J. L. Spake or Alfred Watkins.
They have some line ones.
After wo had denuded to have a pic
nic at Reaverdam, some ofour neigh
bors begun!o shaketInir heads doubt -
fully and to prophesy that we would
have a failure. They didn’l think we
could get up the dinner. Rut those
of us who know Messrs Spake, Adiar
Rlanton an I Yasscy, know Unit they
do not, undertake anything to fail ini
it. And if our friends call what we
hail a failure, w hy we expect to have
another failure some time. The
speaking was g od, the dinner nice
and nothing in the deport men! of any
one to mar the pleasun of the day.

then offered the following resolutions
which were unanimously adopted:
Resolved 1st. That the thanks of
ih,- I’nion County Survivors Associa
tion of Confederate Veterans he ten
dered to the people of Jonesville and
tin* surrounding county for their
kindness and hospitality extended the
members and friends of our associa
tion during this, our annual reunion.
Resolved 2d. To the ladies, eol-
lectLcly and individually, through
out t iie county and elsewhere, who
have worked so faithfully and earn
estly for the success of our reunion;
besides having honored us with their
presence on this occasion, our thanks
are hereby extended.
Resolved ffrd. To our committee
of arrangements, Messrs. W. II. S.
Harris, T. L. Humes and John Craw
ford. who have- been so untiring in
their efforts to make it a success, our
thunks are also extended.
And also to the military—the.John-
mi Rilles and the I’ea Ridge Rilles—
for t heir kind invitation for us to hold
our annual reunion with their, during
their encampment season.
The hand then played “God he
with us till we meet again,” and thus
ended the exercises of the day.
i would he recreant to my trust
wore I to dismiss tins matter without
acknowledging t he personal kindness
extended me during my sojourn of
two days in the town of Jonesville by
the citizens, both male and female,
and also to the aid given us by flic |
people of Spartanburg county in
making our reunion a success. I
spent tin, night with my venerable
friend John 1). Long who gave me
niueh information on different sub
jects and recited some funny inci
dents which 1 propose to give The
Ledger readers in a subsequent let
ter.
In addition I will say that the
crowd assembled in Jonesville on
Veteran's Ray was the largest that
ever assembled in that town before
or in the county. Not a drop of
liquor nor its elfects was seen; not a
word said or act committed that
would he objectionable to the most | jj ru ,, Mon
refined lady. I'nion county was on t (h~j
its best behavior. i mi-..
I understand that my friend Dm
Gallman knocked some trifling negro
down for meddling where he had no
business about the barbecue grounds.
Last week I spent u day with my
good friend (Japt. J. T. Moorhead,
who, by the way, is one of our suc
cessful farmers. Mrs. Moorhead has
the finest garden in this section, 1
think.

union, pure and equitable, that this
great American public may he able to
shake off every burden of doubt and
attain to that liberty, and that inde
pendence of pure government that
she may he recognized as the stan
dard by all the nations of the earth.
Our fathers of yore whom we see no
