TUK WHITE MAN’S 1H UOKN.
The Wilmington Messenger and
the Columbia State have both been
saying some sensible things about
“the white man’s burden” as borne
and understood in the South today,
and we agree with them both that it
is a very different burden in weight
and character from that depicted in
Rudyard Kipling’s jingling verse.
The real burden resting on the
white man of America, and especially
of the South, is not to shoot the gos
pel out of galling guns and deep-
throated cannon at the semi-barba
rous Malay tribes inhabiting the
islands of the Pacific ocean—not to
attempt to wield a power which be
longs only to God, the power to kill,
andjlo make alive—but it is to edu
cate, elevate, civilize and humanize a
race already fixed to our own soil,
and in their ignorance and degrada
tion constituting a standing menance
to our moral and social system.
Partly by benevolence and partly
by compulsion, the white man has
already borne this burden for a third
of a century and there is no time or
place in sight when or where he may
ever lay it down. In his poverty he
has paid five times the taxes thar, he
paid when he was rich, and still the
burden is as heavy as when it was
first laid upon his shoulders. He
must bear it on and on, for this bur
den is somewhat like a wild animal
which a man holds by the throat and
which it will not do to let go; or,
perhaps, it would bo better to say
it is a box of vipers, and if a man
throw it down the box will break and
the vipers will rush out and fasten
their poisonous fangs in his Hesh.
It does look like the burden has
been borne thus long to little or no
purpose. If the negro is less danger
ous and destructive today than he
was thirty years ago, it is not because
lie has been elevated to a higher
grade of citizenship, but because the
white man has thrown around him
self safeguards which were not
within his reach thirty years ago.
We agree fully with the State that
the system adopted for the education
of the negro and maintained at so
heavy a cost to the taxpayers is radi
cally wrong, at least when viewed
from the standpoint of the white man.
That system, so far as it is operated,
is identical with that adopted for the
white race. The logical trend of
that system is to complete social and
political equality. This result must
sooner or later be reached or the sys
tem is not adapted to the necessities
and conditions of the negro race. It
is an absurd piece of extravagant
folly and of injustice to then.-gro,
for the white man to operate a system
of education which leads to a result
that the white man himself will
never tolerate. There would be as
much sense in educating a boy in
this country with the special pur
pose of qualifying him to be the
Czar of Russia, or to live under the
conditions supposed to exist on the
planet Mars.
We sincerely wish for the good of
both races that some plan could be
devised by which they could be com
pletely separated and each could
work out its destiny in its own way.
Hut such a thing at this time is not
to be thought of, and no man can see
how it may ever be possible. The
two races must live together and the
stronger one must dominate and the
weaker one must servo. There is no
other solution of this vexed problem.
Simple justice to the negro then, as
well as the eternal fitness of tilings,
demands that his education should
be such as to raise him to the high
est degree of efficiency in the sphere
of life which he is lo fill, and not
such as to prepare him for a sphere
which he will never be allowed to
enter. Industrial training is what
he needs and that only. As The
State aptly says, let him learn to
read, write and cipher at the public
expense, and then if he wants a
classical education let him seek it in
some private institution at his own
expense. And here let us say that
the State government has no right to
go any father than this in the educa
tion of its citizens, either white or
black. The plea of self-interest and
self-protection may be urged with
some show of reason and justice for
free common school education, but
no public interest demands and no
argument can justify the five colleges
which South Carolina maintains at
the expense of the already overbur
dened taxpayers. Higher education
is an accomplishment and a luxury
and is hot necessary to I ho stability
of government nor absolutely essen
tial to the general well-being of the
people.
NOTES AN 11 COMMENTS.
That hugging of Stonewall Jack-
son’s widow by General Gordon bo- ^
fore the veterans in Charleston was ’
in bud taste and must have been ,
shocking to the modesty of Mrs. I
Jackson. General Gordon some- i
times appears to lose his intellect
ual equipoise on such occasions and
says and does a good many tilings
not in strict accordance with the
canons of taste and propriety.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Though General Miles was not able
to storm and demolish the citadel of
fraud in the beef war, yet there are in
dications that iiis gallant charge was
not altogether in vain. One of its
beneficent results, perhaps, is, that
it has directed public attention again
to the so called antiseptics used by
manufacturers for the preservation of
meats and other varieties of perish
able food. Expert testimony re
cently given before the senate pure
food committee in Chicago, reveals
the fact that many of the antiseptics
contain acute and virulent poisons
and that the use of food preserved by
them is attended with great danger
to health and even life. There is
crying need for a general cleaning up
of this whole business, and it is to
bo hoped that the next congress will
take hold of it in earnest.
The whole country is at the mercy
of trusts. There is hardly an article
in common use, on which the user
does not pay a tribute to some
greedy, soulless trust. These trusts
are stronger than laws. They wield
a power that defies law and pays def
erence to nobody. They get bigger
and bigger and extend their radiating
arms like the tenacles of an octopus.
Recently, an enormous iron and
steel trust has absorbed thirty-six
distinct companies, and is now per
haps strong enough to control the
price of the whole iron and steel out
put on this continent, while the tar
iff laws will see to it that the prices
of foreign products are made to cor
respond. The consequence is - every
thing made of iron or steel goes up
and the people toil patiently on and
pay the ever accumulating damages.

There are 510,000 dead Confeder
ate soldiers buried in Northern soil.
Many of their graves are unmarked
and unkown. Now, if that senti
ment uttered by President McKinley
in regard to the Confederate graves
was not the cheap tally of a politi
cian, it was a noble and generous im
pulse of u patriot and statesman.
While we sympathize with the senti
ment that rejects his proposition
with something like indignation, yet
we realize that pride and poverty do
not work together well in harness.
The one is too strong and the other
is too weak, to make good matches.
Memorial associations have appealed
in‘vain to the Southern people for
the means with which to take proper
care of the graves of our soldiers who
were buried in Northern soil. Let
the President and Congiess take care
of them, if they want to d'» it.
General Wheeler's speech in
Charleston was eloquent and patri
otic. We think it unfortunate, how
ever, that he lugged in the expansion
policy and gave it his hearty endorse
ment. It was not the proper occa
sion for the discussion of that ques
tion, and iiis lino of argument was
sophistical and misleading. It is
true that most of the new territory
added to the domain of the United
States since the organization of the
government has been acquired un
der the administrations of Southern
presidents; but it does not fellow
that territorial expansion is or lias
been a distinctively Southern policy.
Further, there is a wide difference
between the motive that would
prompt us to extend our dominion
over territory lying contiguous to
our boundaries and placed by nature
within the same continental lines,
and that which now is actuating the
government to take possession of
territory in the bosom of the Pacific
ocean, five thousand miles from our
nearests coasts. The two policies
are as different as day and night.
It is sad to think, at a time when
the people generally are moved by
the spirit of the past and are fondly
cherishing some of the noblest and
fioliest sentiments that ever found
u home in the human heart, that
there are men utterly insensible to
all that is sacred, or honorable, or
decent. They are dead to the voice
of human conscience, while their in
stincts are those of the jackal or the
hyena. Thej are ghouls lfiat feast
with fiendish delight on things that
the common instinct of humanity
regards us too sacred to he touched
except in reverence and holy fear.
They belong to all times and to all
stages of society, and they ■coin
designed as an object lesson to the
better part of the world, showing the
depths of degradation to which man
kind is capable of falling. At the
recent gathering of the veterans in
Charleston, these fiends swarmed
forth from their hiding places like
bluebottle Hies attracted by the
scent of fresh meat; they put in
their work all along the railroads
and all through the vast crowds, and
many an old|worn out or crippled sol
dier who had raked together a few
hard earned dollars for the occasion,
had them lifted from his pockets by
these slick, light-fingered devils.
There is a blackness about such
crimes that words cannot paint and
human laws cannot reach.

We are inclined to differ with
“J. L. S.” in regard to what thcAday
that we keep for the Sabbath should
be called. The Christian world has
adopted the first day of the week for
their Sabbath, and has, in honor and
memory of the resurrection of our
Saviour upon that day, denominated
it “Sunday,” which we think very
proper as the two words with us are
the same as regard to holiness. We
think the word “Sunday” is much
more appropriate, ut least for Christ
ians. than Sabbath.

had been keeping up a good deal of

and singing, became lulled somewhat
as the frogs in a pond nearby were

At Charleston we arrived about

we spent the remainder ot the night

day we met quite a number from our
county, most of whom expressed
themselves as highly pleased ut the
re-union and affairs in Charleston.
We took breakfast ut the Confed
erate Hotel where a perfect pandemo
nium reigned. Everybody wai call
ing out for some one to wait on them
and bring this or that until we were al
most disgusted with this part of the
pr ceedings. Trains were bringing
vi terans and visitors from all parts
of the once Confederate States.
Bands of music were playing in al
most every direction. The city re
sembled a mammoth I ouqud of flags,
hunting and urnumentution of dif

Just at 10 o’clock a. m., the gavel
fell and General C. Irwin Walker,
commander of the South Carolina
Division U. C. Veterans called the
house to order in a few well timed
remarks, when Rev. J. Wm. Jones, of
Virginia, offered t he following prayer:
‘ Oh Cod, our Heavenly Father, our
help in days gone by. our hope for
years to come; God of Israel and God
of the centuries; Lord of Heaven and
earth; Lord of hosts and God of
battles; God of our Southland and
(iod of our common country; God «f
Davis, Lee and Jackson, we bring to
Thee the adoration and praise of
grateful hearts as we gather in our
reunion today. We humbly thank
Thee, our Heavenly Father, for all
the circumstances of mercy and
grace by which we are surrounded.
We thank Thee that while the reaper
death has been abroad in our land
and so many of our comrades have
stepped out of the ranks and crossed
over the river, yet so many of us
have been spared and are here today
to meet and greet each other and
once more breathe the balmy air and
receive the hearty welcome of this
historic, battle-sourred and patriotic
city, and we ask, oh Lord! that
Heaven’s richest blessing may come
down and abide with this meeting
and every home here represented.
We beseech Thee to bless our com
mander, that his life and breath may
he precious in Thy sight and that he
may be long spared to lead his peo
ple. Bless all our officers, all our
delegates and all our members. We
pray Thee to preside over this meet
ing, and that nothing may be said or
done that will dishonor God and
which Thou wilt not approve. We
beseech Thee, oh Lord, that Thou
wilt bless all our Confederate veter
ans wherever they may he today,
and that Thou wilt make them true
to the duty of the hour and the in
terest of a common country, and
forbid that they should forget or
fail to teach their children the great
principles cf constitutional freedom
for which our ^fathers fought and
which, by Thy guidance, help and
direction, established, and for which
we fought in the brave days of 18(»1
to 181)0.
“Our loving Heavenly Father, we
earnestly pray Thee to provide fur
our needy comrades, their widows
and orphans, and so smile upon our
Southland that we may have the
sweet privilege of taking care of
them. And now, oh Lord, we ear
nestly pray Thee to bless Thy ser
vant, the Fresident of the United
States, and all others in authority
under him,and that we may have wi-e
and good laws enacted which will be
executed in justice and mercy. Bless
every section of our common country
that we may have fruitful teasons, a
plenteous harvest and returning
business prosperity; hut above all
grant that ours may he in reality,
and not merely in name, a Christian
land; and that the great problems
now before us may be solved by the
solvent of ail ages—the gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Heard, oh God,
we beseech Thee, tliis our opening
prayer, grant our humble petition
and for Christ's sake pardon our
many sins, sanctify and save us since
we ask them all in the name of
Christ, our dear Redeemer. Amen!”

THE TRYST.
Alone 1 welt in the old bccchwood.
At our tryst by the ruined mill.
And the only sound that greets my ear
Is tho note of the whippoorwill.
The silent shade* of the August eve
O’er tho shadowed ruins fall,
But the only sound that comes to me
la tho whippoorwill’* sweet calL
1 wait in vain for a sound more sweet
A note that is far more dear.
Tis a signal whica says one I love is high,
A whistle suit and clear.
The fireflies gleam m the old beeehwood,
Where I wait by the ruined mill,
But naught 1 hear in tiie silent night
Have tho lonely whippoorwill.
