THE RACE PROBLEM.
The relations between the negro
and the white race on this continent
arc to all appearances becoming more
and more strained; and there are
questions being evolved by the march
of events, which will tax all the re
sources of patriotism, statesmanship,
and philanthropy to settle. Again
and again it has been thought by
men of short-sighted policy and nar
row minded prejudice that many of
these questions had been permanently
settled; but the blows that have
simiiiiered the parent flame have
hurled a shower of sparks into the
surrounding stubble, and these have
quickly kindled and threatened a
wider and more destructive conflagra
tion than the first. As the head of
the dangerous hydra has been
stricken from his body two more
heads, fiercer than the first have
taken its place, and the difficulty
lias been increased and the danger
doubled.
When the United States with the
strong hand of military power struck
the shackles of slavery from the
mgro, the nation drew a long breath
of relief, that the vexed question
'srhich liad troubled the country for
forty years, which had nurtured
wide-spread prejudice and animosity,
until at last it had fanned human
passions into u flame and hurled the
North against the South in the
fiercest and crudest fratricidal
str’fe, recorded in the annals of
thru—that at last this vexed ques
tion was settled and settled forever.
Hut events soon proved that only
one phase of the question had been
bellied, and out of that settlement
other questions sprang up and multi
plied and pressed for settlement.
Then when blinded by passion,
driven by hate, and drunk with power,
the Republican party bestowed the
ri^htof suffrage on the negro race
just released from bondage, it was
thought again at the North, no
doubt, that the last demands of the
q ua. ion had been met, that the
bi.mis of the negro had been fixed,
ai .i tiiat neither hate nor philanthopy
could find in this question further
material to feed upon.
Hut how short-sighted was the
poliiical wisdom that provided the
conditions of settlement! It was
so >i. evident to all except those who
will not see, that the whole negro
question was more unsettled than
ever.
Jnour state there followed the
darkest period in its history—a period
during which the land-marks of
civilization were almost obliterated;
uml intelligence, and probity and
enlightened patriotism almost dis
appeared in the flood of Ignorance,
venality, and barbarism that over
whelmed the land. Goaded to
desperation the remnant of the
A' glo-Saxon race left within our
l,,filers rose in their unconquerable
ini„ .I and hurled the black demon
l.„in the throne of his power.
Hut still the negro question was
n it settled. The incubus was bhaken
oil, but only for the time. The fior-
rid creatures that peopled the night-
ir c were btill to be seen cowering
ba k in the shadows, ready to begin
ti^uin their weird orgies over their
victim at the first signs of sleep or
relaxation of vigilance.
Now, we havo had an era of reform,
ut.d our political Colons have framed
u i cw constitution, anil they tell us
mat the negro is eliminated from
politics and the trouble is at lust
uli over.
Hut wait and see. There aie pro
visions in that same constitution,
which are like the small leaks in the
dike, hardly noticeable at first but
gradually doing their work with ever |
increasing power, until at last the
ocean bursts through with a roar
that is deafening and a fury that is
overwhelming. This constitution
provides an educational qualification
for voting, which it is claimed elimi
nates the negro from politics; and at
the same time it puts the means in
his hands of quickly clothing him
self with that qualification. How
absurd to call such an arrangement
as that a settlement, and how puerile
to think that by it, the negro is
eliminated from politics! There is
nothing in the present conditions to
debar him at the close of another de
cade, from standing the test of all
educational and property qualifica
tions and marching to the polls with
his 20,000 majority. Then what?
Will he be put down as he was in
1876? But the conditions will be
widely different from those of 1876.
Instead of an ignorant, superstitious
savage, you will find him this time a
man of education, intelligence,
property, and possessed of all the
elements of power. He will not be
intimidated, demoralized, and driven
from his position by the same means
that were used in 1876. Then the
result^ that may follow are fearful to
contemplate, for it is absolutely cer
tain that the white man as now con
stituted will never submit to com
plete negro domination.
Present conditions are anomalous
and without any precedent. We
educate the nogro and expect him
still to be a servant. We put the
ballot into his hands and become in
dignant if he aspire to office. We
make a soldier of him and yet with
hold the praise and honor due to a
soldier. We open the way for him
to become a Senator or a Governor or
even President of the United States,
and yet we provide a separate car for
him and recoil with horror from so
cial contact. A condition of affairs
involving so many anomalies and in
consistencies, so many outrages upon
natural and moral laws cannot long
continue. A crisis will sooner or
later be reached when this question
will no longer admit of patchwom or
partial solutions, and both races will
be required to face it in all its rami
fications and settle it for once and
forever.
For our part we sincerely wish to
see the negro placed under conditions
favorable to his highest develop
ment. The white people of this
country owe him a debt of gratitude
which it is difficult to pay, and his
condition appeals strongly for sym
pathy, kindness, forbearance, and
generosity. Yet this is a white
man’s country and white men must
and will rule it, and the sooner the
negro race recognizes this fact, the
better it will be for both races.
There seems to be only one of three
ways in which the race problem in
this country can reach a complete
and final solution—amalgamation,
extermination, or peaceable sepa
ration. The first is not to be thought
of; the second violates every canon
of civilization and every sentiment
of religion and humanity; the last
only is both feasible and desirable.
It may bo that in the recent con
quests of the United States, God
is preparing a final solution of this
hurrassing problem, and that in
some of the acquired territory the
negro will find a congenial home
whore he can work out his destiny in
his own way. This would be a con
summation to gladden the hearts of
millions who are interested in his
welfare and who desire only his
hightest good.
GAFFNEY AND THE LEDGER.
We suppose that it is pretty gener
ally known that we, the writer of Lite
editorial columns of The Ledger,
have nothing to do with the business
management of the paper. We are
not personally interested either in
its financial success or failure. We
perhaps do not habitually read the
paper as attentively as others do.
Hut we have recently looked care
fully through it with a view to dis
covering its business status, and we
have met with several surprises.
The first surprise is, that so many
of the strong business houses of the
town are not represented in its adn r.
tising columns. The north side of
the town shows up well; but south
of the railroad fully 60 per cent, of
the merchants and business men
have no voice in the proclamation
that goes forth once a week of Gaff
ney's enterprise, resources, and
progress. A reader at a distance who
judges the town by the showing
made in its paper, us ail readers do,
that d«« not know it through other
channels will conclude at once that
it is nothing more Umn a little strag
gling village with two or throe good
stores, a blacksmith shop, and a poat-
office. This is not the Impression
which our business men would like
to make abroad.
Our neighboring city of Spartan
burg publishes two daily and four
weekly papers, six in all, and each
one of those papers that we have ex
amined, is alive with advertisements
of home business and home enter
prise. It is safe to say that with a
population not much more than
double that of ours. Spartanburg is
doing more than twelve times the
amount of advertising. No wonder
that Spartanburg moves, and it will
be no wonder if Gaffney complain
that times are dull.
The second surprise we have met
with in looking into the affairs of
The Ledger, is the large amount of
patronage bestowed upon it by for
eign advertisers. On comparison
with other papers, it seems to be far
in the lead of papers of its class and
equal to many of a higher and
broader class. We conclude that the
paper draws a large part of its revenue
for advertising from this source.
The third and most overwhelming
surprise is to find that there are so
many intelligent, prominent people
in Gaffney, who do not even take the
paper at one dollar a year. The
great bulk of each issue goes off in
the mails, an astonishingly small
part of it stopping in Gaffney.
Now, we do not presume to tell the
merchants of Gaffney how to conduct
their business, nor prescribe to the
people what they must or must not
do. Neither does The Ledger ap
peal to anybody’s charity nor beg for
anybody’s patronage. It is strictly
a business enterprise, which pro
poses to pay large dividends on every
| dollar that the town may invest in it,
and in many ways to contribute to
the progress, happiness, and pros
perity of the place.
Advertising has been aptly styled
“the art of making people want
things,” which of course includes
the art of making them know where
things are to be found. If this defi
nition is true, it follows that when
times are dull and money is scarce,
there is all the more necessity for
the business man to make people
want his goods, and want them badly
enough to stint themselves in other
directions in order that they may get
them.
We do not think that it will be
denied by those who have watched
the recent progress of the town and
noted the influences that have con
tributed to its growth, tiiat The Led
ger lias borne a conspicuous and
honorable part. It was undoubtedly
the strongest factor in the new
county movement and it is almost
certain that but for it the movement
would have been defeated. Now, it
is doing the county advertising at
exactly one-half the rates allowed
by law. though it has no competi
tion and could just as easily exact
the fall rates. The manager spends
every surplus dollar that ho makes
in improving the paper, and we be
lieve that were his income twice
what it is he would do the same
thing. Yet we know that during the
past summer he has been strained
to meet current exponses, notwith
standing his magnificent subscrip
tion list and strong foreign patron
age, all for the luck of the homo sup
port which he hud a right to expect.
Fellow citizens, this is not in
keeping with the spirit of our people
and must be an over-sight rather
than studied neglect. The paper is
doing more for you than you are
doing for it. Starve it out and you’ll
starve out a large portion of your
business. Let it help you in your
business, and the measure you mete
out to it will be returned to you
heaped up, pressed down, shaken
together, and running over.
ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK.
It is said that the Peacj Com
missioners in Paris are now face to
face with the chief feature of the
problem, that is the Philippines.
On all other points the imperious
lion’s have been disposed to be agree
able. They will however, not yield
the Philippines without a largo
money consideration and probably
not at all, In which case negotiations
will be at an end and our big peace
jubilees will have been a little •‘pre
vious.”

The Columbia State and the Green
ville News have for sometime past
been “smoking” each other out.
The breath of each has held out re
markably well, but at lust they are
both in the jigiit and Gonzales dis
covers that Williams is no better
than a Republican, and Williams dip-
covers that Gonzales is not quite so
good. In the meantime both the
State and the News will continue to
serve the public with th? latest news
and many fresh breezy editorials
from the same old stands.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
We imagine that a degree of satis
faction and exaltation arises in the
breast ot blockaders and their patrons
when a fine job has been successfully
done. Most people have enjoyed the
pleasure of success some time in their
lives and usually in some way make
their joys known to their friends.
But in the case of joys derived from
being successful blockaders and being
their patrons the happiness of the
city the county and all the friends of
the patrons will be best subserved of
all parties to the deals will so con
duct themselves that their joys will
not become known.
Our soldiers in Porto Rico are said
to be a disgrace to the flag under
which they serve, or to any other
flag except the black flag suppose to
wave over bands of pirates and rob
bers. They terrorize women, rob
stores, plunder towns and make the
nights hideous with drunken brawls
and revelries. And yet we have sent
them over there in the cause of civili
zation and humanity, and they were
kindly welcomed by the inhabitants
as deliverers from thralldom and op
pression. President McKinley will
not do his duty if he does not see to
it that some of them are punished
and some of the officers especially
are cashiered and dismissed from
the service.
♦ ♦ ♦
The soldiers are starting for their
Southern camps. Two brigades will
go into camp at Greenville, one at
Columbia, and one at Summerville,
Spartanburg is left out in the cold.
After having been promised the lux
ury of one brigade, somehow she
failed to pledge the requisite number
of luxuries to the delicate and fastid
ious soldiers. She seems not to have
been fully prepared to put a hydrant
and an incandescent light in each
tent, with a Turkish bath, rocking
chairs, sofas, feather bed, and other
things so necessary to a modern
soldier’s toilet and so indispensable
to his health and comfort. We
sympathize with Spartanburg in her
poverty and congratulate her on her
good luck.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Perhaps there has never before
been a case tried in any court that
has excited more interest over the
whole world than that of the Dreyfus
case tried in Paris. We doubt if the
trial and execution of Louis the
Fourteenth of France or of Charles
the First of England was the subject
of as world-wide interest and com
ment as^this.case has been. Dreyfus
was a captain in the army, and was
accused of communicating some
military secrets to the government
of Germany. He is a Jew, and race
prejudice was thought by many to
be at the bottom of the charges
made out against him. After a trial
that almost unsettled the French
government, he was banished for life.
Then tales of all sorts of forgeries,
perjuries.und evil machinations began
to be told, and many high officials
both civil and military began to be
accused of plotting the man’s ruin,
and at lust the presure has become so
great that the court of Cassation,
which is the highest court of appeals
in France, is considering the question
of re-opening the case, and there is
every prospect that it will be done.
On a second trial there will be many
startling revelations made, some of
them involving the character of even
cabinet ministers and generals in
the army, and there is no telling
when or where it will all end.

The Columbia State remarks a fact
which has impressed many as curious •
in regard to the changed sentiments
in the First South Carolina regiment
since the succession of Colonel Till
man to the command. This is that
Tillman, who was the champion of
those desirous to be mustered out of
service, is now most anxious that
the regiment be retained by the
government. Colonel Tillman’s
efforts to secure the regiment’s dis
missal were so active us to cause
criticism end censure, and to stir up
strife between the officers and the
men. Indeed Colonul Tillman did
not confine his agitations to his own
regiment but went into the camp of
the Second and made trouble there.
He enlisted the aid of Ids uncle, Sena
tor Ben Tillman, in his effort to have
the First discharged and when the
mustering out order was given, he
took great credit to himself us the
champion of the privates. Now that
lie is the regiment's colonel he is
trying to undo all that has been done
and has appealed again to Uncle Hen
to assist him, this time to keep the
command in service. Who will now
champion the cause of the private
eoldiers?
A GREAT record of cures, une
qualled in medical history, proves
Hood's Sarsaparilla possesses merit un
known to any other MEDICINE.
