THE PHCENIX BUTCHERY.
The tilling of the negroes near
(ireenwood on election day is all
ot lier dark blot on the name and
fame of South Carolina. It is true
that the white people were justly in
censed. It is true that a negro had
wantonly, and without any personal
provocation whatever, shot a white
man who was engaged in an alterca
tion with another white man; and if
in the tumult that followed, the
whites had killed that negro and a
11 >zen others, there would have not
been wanting palliation and excuse.
In a free-for-all fight with guns and
pistols it is not expected that men
will exercise culm reason or nice
discrimination, or that they will be
wry particular as to the direction
in which they shoot. Nor could \v«
Mi!me the white men for killing as
I mg as the negroes had arms and
were trying to kill in turn. But
when from twelve to eighteen hours
after the row had terminated, when
the negroes baa been already pretty
severely punished, and dispersed,
when men had had ample time to re-
il-ot, when the negro who shot Eth
ridge had not been found—then for a
mob of white men to fall upon eleven
negroes unarmed, prisoners, and
lu-ipless, and shoot them to death,
without being able to impute any
crime to at least two of them, is one
nf the blackest, foulest, most dia-
boiical crimes ever perpetrated un
der heaven.
There was not the shHow of ex
cuse for it; no fear that .o guilty
ones would escape punishment in
t he courts, which are entirely in the
hands of the whites—no dread of
further danger from the negroes, for
they were disarmed and helpless—
nothing but the savage instincts of
an unreasoning and blood-thirsty
mob.
The condition of the negroes was
such as has always appealed power
fully to every generous and noble
sentiment of the truly brave, and
t hero were many good and true men
there who felt the full force of the
appeal and exerted themselves to
prevent the dastardly deed. But
tin-y were as powerless before the
surges of phrensied passion as a
feather before the gale.
And thus another dark crime is
added to a record already black with
crime. Thus there is more blood
crying from the ground, and surely
a> there is a just God in Heaven it
will not always cry in vain. Oh!
blind indeed is he who thinks there
i- no retribution for such crimes
timt violate every instinct of human
ity and shock the whole natural and
moral world!
The law of the land is powerless.
It lies prostrate, dishonored, and
trampled into the dust—a stricken
and helpless thing, the scoff and
scorn alike of those who have sworn
to enforce it and those who are re
quired to obey it. God help the
country when there is not a man
from the Governor down to the petty
constable who has the nerve to up
hold its dignity or assert its power!
But this event brings another em
phatic lesson with it, especially to
the negroes. The lesson is that they
will not be allowed to rule this
country. How much more blood
must be shed before they can learn
this lesson? They ought to have
kno vn that with the restrictions now
put upon suffrage there Wasn’t the
slightest chance upon earth for them
to win the congressional election in
Greenwood county. The white
scoundrels who manipulated them
did know it. The only motive was to
give trouble and stir up mischief.
Just us long us the negroes remain
in this country they will be the wil
ling tools of unprincipled and design
ing white men, and just as long us
they serve as such tools, just so long
will such scenes as those at Phoenix
be re-enacted. The tools will suffer,
and the sleek rascals who handle
them will go scot free. There is
but one commendable way out of it
all. That is separation, complete,
final, and forever.
THE VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT
SOCIETY.
The pleasant little town of Foun
tain Inn, Greenville county, comes
to the front with a village improve
ment society and by so doing it sets
an example which ought to be fol
lowed by every town, city, and
densely populated community in the
State. So absorbed are the citizens
of our towns in making money that
they have become almost oblivious to
the fact that there is any other kind
of improvement than that which
money can make, and when they
hear of an improvement society, nine-
tenths of them will have no other
thought than that it is a society for
buying and selling lands and houses
and making money for the stock
holders. But that is not the object
of the society at Fountain Inn. Its
object, as stated by the Greenville
News, is to cultivate a taste for the
useful and the beautiful in private
and public improvements; to teach
the people how to make their houses,
grounds, and streets attractive with
out materially increasing the cost;
and incidentally to infuse a spirit of
refinement into social life and man
ners.
We do not know of a more sorely
felt need in our town of Gaffney than
that of something to promote the ob
jects of such a society. It seems to
us that the whole town is in such a
rage for material improvements that
it is becoming in a great measure in
different to the demands of social,
moral, and religious life—demands in
finitely higher and more imperative
than any ever made upon a people by
the necessities of trade or the
exigencies of material progress.
Never before in the history of this
country—perhaps never in the his
tory of the human race—has there
been such a struggle for material
advancement, such a wild, mad rush
for money, such a strain upon the
powers of life, such a we a .• and tear
of body, and such a tax on the re
sources of mind, as may be witnessed
almost anywhere in this God-favored
land to-day.
Every town is straining its re
sources in rivalry of some other town ;
every newspaper is booming its own
locality, applauding what it calls the
spirit of push and enterprise, and
stimulating by every means in its
power a spirit already wild and al
most uncontrollable; while individ
ual life is wrought up to a degree of
intensity that excludes every thought
of physical, moral or social well-being
and threatens to snap the chains
that hold it to its moorings and let
it go down in the raging waters, a
mad sacrafice to selfish greed.
The religion of our fathers, their
hours for reading and pious medita
tion, their leisure for social enjoy
ment, their happy quiet homes, their
sturdy honesty, their subi'ino con
tentment, are all in a measure things
that were. The scene has shifted,
and another play has come on the
stage, which, if we watch attentively,
we shall discover to be a charade of
which the key-word is moxey, with
contentment, happiness, duty, and
honor, all in the back ground. The
play is corrupt, pitiable, deceptive.
Not one in ten of the actors will ever
grasp the glittering prize, not one of
them all but is doomed to bitter dis
appointment in the end; for the
prize when gained, loses its luster,
rusts and cankers, and finally turns
to dross in the possession.
This play is on the Gaffney stage
and will end just as laid down in the
book, just as it will ever end. Nine-
tenths of our people will never amass
wealth, and the one-tenth that get it,
will fail to find the satisfaction in it
that they fondly expected.
Material progress is desirable and
and gratifying to every man who
feels an interest In the welfare of the
town. But if we can boast only of
material progress, if social life must
be dwarfed, if religion must languish,
if greed and selfishness must be the
ruling principles and, the strong mo
tives of life, then the progress is
downwards and backwards, and our
boasting is our everlasting shame.
ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK.
One acre of land with its appur
tenances, was leased the other day
at auction in the city of London for
80 years at an rental of ijtSo.OOO a
year. The value of land seems to
depend mostly upon where the land
is and what it has on it.

Spain swears on the altar of her
oft-insulted but ever sensitive honor,
that she will not giva up the Philip
pines. Indeed, since she comes to
think about it. she is not so sure but
that she will take back Lugon.
If the United States persist in her
bullying high handed measures, she
Spain, will—ask the Emperer Wil
liam to arbitrate—blamed if she
don’t!
In the elections held last week
over the United States, the Repub
licans were generally victorious. It
is conceded that the next congress
will be Republican by a decided
majority. This is all right. Let the
Republicans run things during Mc
Kinley’s term. Let them be respon
sible for the settlement of the ques
tion of territorial expansion, and all
other questions arising out of the
war with Spain. Let Boss Reed
crack his party whip and rush
through party measurers thick and
fast. There will be a reckoning in
1900 and the Democratic party will
be in condition to make it.
The war ship, Maria Teresa, which
was sunk by the American guns in
the battle of! Santiago, then raised
by Hobson, then lost in u storm and
supposed to be resting quietly, at
the bottom of the ocean, after an
eventful career, is again in evidence
and promises to attract yet more
interest and perhaps to give more
trouble. She is stranded near Cat
Island in British waters, with her
stores intact, her masts uninjured
and her anchors out. The wreckers
of the Island claim the cargo, and
the British authorities have taken
possession of the vessel as derelict,
while the United States enters a
vigorous protest. The question now
is, who owns the Maria Teresa?
The Spartanburg Waterworks Com
pany has gone into the hands of a
receiver, and a new company, con
sisting of most of the strongest
moneyed men of the city, has been
organized for the purpose of operating
waterworks. The latter company
proposes to furnish water by utilizing
the force of gravitation. It might
be well for the people of Gaffney to
consider the feasibility of organizing
a company for such a purpose, and
also the practicability of getting
water by gravitation. Water ob
tained by this method would no
doubt have to be brought from a
considerable distance, but it would
be clear, and might be cheaper in the
long run than expensive machinery.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The city of Wilmington, N. C.,
freed herself from negro rule with a
strong hand. Eleven negroes were
killed, the office of the Daily Record
was broken up and burned, and num
bers of negroes and objectionable
whites were put aboard the cars and
told to leave a blue streak behind
them. The officers of the city govern
ment all resigned and the revolution
was rapid and complete. The de
struction of the Record office was a
just and righteous retribution. The
editorial of the negro editor, which
excited the vengeance of the people,
was a vile slander on the white wo
men of the country, and such a one
as no white man would dare to write
and print. The pity is that the
editor himself was allowed to escape.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The property owners within the
corporate limits of Gaffney will now
be required to pay an annual tax
for ail purposes of about mills.
A further tux must come for water
works. Before u great while longer
they must make up their minds to
pay a yearly tax of at least 30 mills.
That is 3 per cent, the legal rate of
interest in the bank of England, the
rate at which money can be borrowed
on gilt edge paper in New York.
Wo don’t believe that as many as one-
fourth of our people make 3 per
cent, annually above all expenses,
on their capital. If not, then three-
fourths of them will be taxed above
the amount of their clear income, it
seems to be as easy to levy taxes as
ib is for individuals to contract debts,
but taxes, unlike individual debts,
must be paid every time and paid
when due without offset, discount, or
compromise. We were opposed to
the tax for the Graded School, and
were prepared to give good reasons
for our opposition. But there was
no opportunity afforded for discus
sion. The order for the election was
published-in the paper on Thursday
and the election followed on Tuesday.
Eighty-three voters,out of a voting
population of 600 voted for it, and
the thing was done. We have no
censure for those who voted for it,
nor for those whose apathy allowed
the tax to be fastened upon them. If
there is any luxury In it, we’ll all try
to enjoy it together.
We wrote the articles in another
column on the Phoenix butchery,
immediately after the first news of
the occurrence reached us; but
everything that has come to light
since has but confirmed the first view
that we took of it. While the ne
groes had arms, and were using or
attempting to use them, of course
there was but one thing for the
whites to do, that was to shoot and
shoot straight. But when the whites,
after the negroes had been dispersed
and their ring leaders were out of
reach, went to murdering prisoners
whose guilt was not established and
who in all probability had not got
out of the way because they were
conscious of innocence, then the
whites put themselves deeply and
awfully in the wrong. A corres
pondent of the Greenville News, who
has visited the scene of the disturb
ance, says that only about 15 per
cent, of the white men present took
part in the bloody and cruel work,
and they composed the drunken,
riotous element of the crowd. Ah!
there is the secret which need not to
have been told in words. Fifteen
drunken rowdies dominating eighty-
five good law-abiding citizens and
glutting their savage instincts with
red-handed murder! It is one of
the deplorable results of all such
disturbances, that they quickly pass
into the hands of an irresponsible j
element, and good men are as power- ;
less to stay the tide of murder as j
the poor victims themselves.

Praise for Gaffney.
[baptist Courier.]
We spent a day very pleasantly in
the thriving city of Gaffney last
week, mingling with our subscribers
and other good people of the place.
Gaffney is the centre of a large Bap
tist community, and the cause in the
town and country roundabout is in
good hands and prosperous. Pastors
Robertson and Bridges, of the town
churches, are popular with their peo
ple and are doing a good work, and
it was pleasant to hear them well
spoken of by the members of their
flocks. Towards the close of the day
we walked out to Limestone College,
where we spent a delightful evening
with Prof. Mack and his happy house
hold. The college is enjoying a
fairly prosperous session, with a
small increase in the number of
boarding pupils but a slight decrease
in the local attendance, on account
of the establishment in Gaffney of a
Graded school. The work of the ses
sion is progressing most satisfactorily,
and it was very pleasing to observe
the perfect order and system with
which all the affairs of the institution
are conducted The faculty and
pupils are happy in their work, a
condition absolutely necessary to the
faithful performance of daily tasks.

Every dny strengthens the belief of omi-

cause of the medority of our diseases.
'I wenty-live years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns’Iron
Bitters. The many reiiiarkahlccures effected
by this famous old household remedy ore
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
