QUEER, ISN’T IT?
How mixed everything must be!
What a surprising statement that of
Hon. G. 1). Tillman! Not a fub
blooded caucasion on the floor of tin
constitution! Well that might b»-
so as a scientific fact, but whlit if it
is? Neither Mongolian, Arab nor
Indian blood is now threatening our
civilization. If some of it does flow
through the veins of some of South
Carolina’s statesmen and the Cau
casian blood has been able to ado
dignity to that of a race of lower
stamps, it is well for the Caucasian.
Does it follow that the experiment
ought to be carried further, and ai a
time when the white race is in jep-
ordy? The risk is too great. Al
though God “Hath made of one blood
all nations of men for to '*well on all
the face of the earl h.” He has also
determined beforehand “the hounds
of their habitation.” We must rec
ognize the existing state of affairs in
our State and prepare to meet it like
men. The evil is upon us. brought
by those who have preceded us upon
the stage of action. There has been
amalgamation of the races to some
extent; there is danger of its becom
ing greater.
Particularly is this noticeable in
our large cities. Without wise legis
lation the leprous spots will spread.
We are sorry for the uiifortunat'*. tlx
outcome of this illicit intercourse.
They are not responsible hut their
progenitors are. We cannot turn
hack the hands of the clock and
legislate for the generation that has
passed away, hut we can make laws,
the tetxlency of which will be to re
strain rutiu r tii in to license.
I lx* two rae-s u re 1: re j n t in* si a l e,
in number. ; eaiiy * qu.d. Enel; is to
some exlelil dependent upon the
other. Ttiis lielpfuluess is best pre
served I'.v keeping (be races distinct.
The danger ix s in ohliberating t hese
lines. Already we are in trouble.
The gravity of the situation lias im
pressed the convention, but we must
move forward. Let those recognized
us white, be so regarded in the fu
ture. ’Pile line lias to be drawn
somewhere. If before this degener
acy has been winked at, let it he so
no longer.
Our organic law should speak in no
uncertain terms. The streams of the
two races here should not commingle.
If they do, there should he a penalty,
and that penalty should forever ex
clude the offspring from participation
in the rights and privileges of the
Caucasian rare.
for a department of roads and for
estry. Mr. McMahan is looking
ahead ; as all members of the convin-
tion should look. He sees the whole
sale dest ruction of our forests; vast
sections denuded of forest trees, that
will never grow up again spontane
ously, in the same kinds of timber
He feels, as some of the rest of us do,
that a wise direction should he given
to the clearing of our lands; to the
preservation of our fine timber. Most
of us know not the value we have
-stored away in our forests. Hi some
actions, trees ought now to he set
>ut. Ought this to he left to individ-
■ial fancy? Would it not he better to
tave some directing hand, where
>roper instructions and information
could he secured?
Our roads too! How far behind
ire w’e! You cannot call them high
ways of travel. They are a disgrace
fo a civilized, a prosperous, a progres
sive people.
But our people are not ready for
lie movement. A few eloquent
■ uigues in the convention can turn
he thoughts of many from the main
object. The time is coming when
•'outh Carolina will maintain a de-
art merit of roads and forestry.
HOW IS THIS?
The convention assembles after a
ten days recess, at 'east a quorum is
n session. But even up to the fourl h
lay forty were not in their seats.
How is this? Is home so sweet that
he call to duty is drowned by tlx*
nore clamorous call to ease? A few
nnnths ago. perhaps, these very de-
inquents were urging the “dear pen-
ole” to send them to help shape a
•lew constitution. Where are they
mw? On the flo ir of the convention
it tent ion is called to their protracted
ibsence, and they have now to he
summoned to turn their tardy feet
towards the State’s capitol. We
never approved the ten days vaca
tion. It looked to us an uncalled for
break in the work th'''•'invention wa! ‘
specially called to do. We can’t see
iow that any good was accomplished.
We like an entertainment “for the
war.” That is the spirit that should
have actuated those who felt that
they were called to this great work—
for great work it is. It is not right,
as Senator Tillman says, to let the
majority do the work that all are
called upon to perform. Each man
diould he in his seat at every session
and not at home.
) MR. AND MRs. McIVER BOSTICK.
Our friends have left us just as we
j were beginning to feel the preemu?-
i no?s of their preseneo.
i hey wanted to make Gaffney their
home, hut Gaffney was not ready,
and Walterhoro claims the prize that

j Of this the good people of Walterhoro

HARRISON’S LITERARY WORK.
TURKEY IN COMMOTION.
It is hard for us to appreciate the
position that the Turk fills in Euro
pean polities. He has held his van
tage ground for centuries, not be
cause of any inherent strength, nor
indeed on account of any progressive
spirit, out rather through sufferance
•f the great powers of Europe. The
great sea is nearly girdled with her
dependencies, hut they are held with
a feeble grasp.
The Mohammedan stands in the
way of advancing civilization. It is
only a question of a little time before
he will have to give way before the
rushing tide.
The troubles in Armenia have not
thated. The inhuman treatment ac
corded her citizens there afford a fine
opportunity for a protest from the
Christian nations of Europe. If the
Sultan yields to the pressure from
without, he is liable to meet resist
ance at home, and such resistance
as will likely eventuate in his over-
l brow.
The Turk can he spared from Eu
rope. hut what nation will posses*'
ihe key to Asia? None can tell.

To Write Articles for Women, on“Tois
Country of Ours.’l
It is announced that ex-I’resident
Benjamin Harrison is engaged in
writixir a scries of magazine artichs
for The Ladies’ Home Journal, in
which periodical they will begin in
the Decern iter number. The series
will he called "This Country ofOurs,”
and will consist often articles and
probably more. The papers are being
written by General Harrison especi
ally for women, to meet a growing,
wide-spread desire on their part to in
telligently understand the workings
of our Government end the great na
tional questions, ft will he tlx* aim
of the articles to explain in the clear
and concise style for vldch the cx-
President is famous, just what the
United States Government means;
theorigion and meaning of the Con
stitution; how laws are enacted am)
enforced; what the powers of tin
President and other officials arc;
what the judiciary svstem means;
how our foreign relations are hrought
about and their meaning; how Con

plete explanation of the Government
told in a popular way. General Har
rison writes the articles from tlx
standpoint of a citizen who under
stands his subject. They have no
bearing oti politics whatever. Whib
directly intended for women, the ar
ticles will naturally have a much
broader scope and likewise interest
men, and especially young men.
