conducted themselves well, so far as
external demeanor goes, and are en
titled to full credit for it. As a rule,
also, the white people have treated
the negro kindly and fairly, and the
relations between the fwo races are,
on the surface, friendly.
Hut, my friends, after all these
years of freedom, of education, of
religious training, of enlightened
progress and civilization, of neigh
borhood association, the feeling of
race antagonism and prejudice is
more intense now than a year after
emancipation, and will grow more
intense as time progresses. We try
to convince ourselves that this in not
true, but any man who reads the
signs of the time rightly, and cor
rectly interprets current events must
be overwhelmed with the conviction
that it is true. If unrestrained, or
is not corrected, what will is lead to?
To the utter demoralization ol both
races and the ultimate destruction of
one or the other.
This race antagonism is not con
fined to white man and negro. It
exists between the white man and
Indian, the white man and Mongo
lian, and even between branches of
the white race—the Anglo-Saxon and
Celt, the Teuton and Latin, the Slav
and Mussulman, and seems to be as
ineradicable with one as the other,
notably in the case of the Hebrew
race to which I have adverted.
Permit me in passing to commend
to you a very thoughtful, able arti
cle in the June number of the North
American Review, by Max Nordan,
on “Israel Among the Nations; The
Problem of the Jews." It will pay
you to read it. This race prejudice
is due to some mjsterious “psyeolo-
gieal phenomenon,” which bailies
explanation but that it does exist, as
in the case ol the white man and
negro, in its most acute form no
sensible or rational man will deny.
All the laws of Christendom, all the
eloquence of the ages, all the moral
and spiritual suasion of the Christian
generations can not or will not eradi
cate it. The frequent events and
race conlliets and lynchings we read
of in this State, in Illinois, and Indk
ana, and Ohio, and Kansas, and
Oeorgia, Arkansas, Maryland and
elsewhere are merely symtomatic of
an incurable disease. They prevailed
witli tiic Indians until they were
shut up on reservations to them
selves, and the Indian is now only
protected against them by the strong
arm of the military. The saying
that ‘‘there is no good Indian but a
dead Indian,” would be just as ram
pant today as when tirst uttered if
similar conditions obtained. vVhy
then do we continue to delude our
selves with the hope that something
will happen to correct the abnormal
and unnatural relations between the
whites and blacks. The inhabitants
of the Pacific coase maae short shift
of the Chinese question by going to
congress and demanding the exclu
sion by law of the Chinaman and
branding those who were hero as
I'ariulis and social outcasts Nay,
more, they set upon them with pow
der and ball and compelled them to
go. The Chinaman underbid the
white man in the fields of labor, us
the negro does. He did not inter
marry with the whites as the negro
does not. He hud no social relations
with white man, ns the negro has
not, and the Chinaman had to go
and stay away. Millions upon mil
lions of people from Europe have
come to our shores, representing all
nationalities, hut they assimilate,
they intermarry, tiiey mix socially
with their own race, the white race,
and are taken into the great indus
trial, social, religious, and political
body of American citizenship and be
come a part of it. The negro does
not and cannot. Whenever he
crosses our social or political or in
dustrial paths we “smite him hip
and thigh,” we “cry aloud and spare
not,” whether this happens in one
section of the country of the other,
in Kansas they invoke the equitable
side of the court to enjoin him from
going into that state to work the
mines. In Indiana, Illinois, Penn
sylvania, Alabama, and other staid,
they adopt the more summary
method of using shot guns and re
volvers on him. Why is this? Be
cause he is a negro and can work
cheaper. That tells the whole story.
In other states lie is lynched when
ever he commits certain offences.
You will perhaps ask, “What about
lynching?” There is but one answer.
It is wholly wrong, indefensible, dan
gerous; mire dangerous to the
lyncher than the lynched Hut how
are we to stop it so long as the
whites and negroes occupy the same
territory with race hatred increas
ing every day. You may ay well
attempt to check th§ course of a
a northeast hurricane with the
wave Jof a ladies' fan, us to
prevent the white man lynching
a negro, when the latter assaults a
white woman. Lynching for this of
fense which is certain as fate, does
not appear to check the crime.
Hence burning, with all its revolting
atrocities is resorted to. Lynching
for other offenses and upon other
races will follow, until finally mob
law will supersede the law of the
land. Wliat then becomes of social
order, our civilization, and constitu
tional government? I do not think 1
overdraw the picture. Hut allow me
to present in another form, in order
to accentuate the point 1 make, that
the best and only solution of the
race question, is the gradual and
permanent separation of the races.
When I have remarked to others
that the social barrier between the
whites and blacks is impassible, and
if once broken down would lead to
miscegenation, the rejoiner has been,
that all white men are not social
equals, and therefore that proves
nothing. Let’s test the soundest of
this position. There is not awhile
man in this audience, or as for that
matter, any other white audience as
sembled anywhere in this country,
who vrould admit a negro to his house
on terms of social equslity, and prop
erly would not. It matters not how
well dressed, well behaved, intelli-
*
gent, respectful, cleanly, or genteel
ha may be, you would not admit him.
Why? Because he i* a negro. You
would undoubtedly reject some white
men, because he might ho coarse
mannered, untidy, disagreeable, rude,
or generally undesirable for a com
panion, but you would not reject him
because be is a white man. We ex
clude the negroes from our churches,
from our social gatherings, from as
sociation with the white man on our
lines of transportation, and from our
places of amusement, and our hotels,
and the negroes entertain as strong a
prejudice against the white man.
How can race conflicts, and antago
nism be avoided, under such condi
tions? The negro, living in the
shadow made by his color, groping in
an atmosphere of acknowledged infe
riority, struggling for primacy, or
supremacy, certainly for complete
equality, how can he avoid collision
with the white man, fortified and
strengthened as he is, in a position
secured by centuries of effort. The
negro can never achieve the full
measure of American manhood, he
cun never catch up in the race of
life, and reach the high place of use
ful Ameiican citizenship in his pres
ent enviroments. In the fierce com
petitive struggle, for the highest and
best in life, he cannot keep pace with
the white man, and the white man
cannot afford to carry him longer as
a burden without fulling behind him
self.
We boast that this is a country of
equal righto, but it is not true, and
never was true. The negro, the In
dian and Chinaman do not get equal
rights anywhere, North, South, East
or West, and they never will, so long
as the white man's nature remains
as it is. You may say, then, that
this government is a failure. It is a
failure whenever it attempts to over
ride the laws of nature, and confer
equal rights with the white man
upon the negro, Indian and China
man, living in justaposition to the
white man. This is essentially a
white man’s government, set up by
white men one hundred and twenty-
four years ago to-day. It has ever
since been controlled by white men
and will be to Jthe end. It may have
under its constitutional control and
guidance Indian Territories, Negro
Territories or Mongolian Territories
—not however with the full rights of
citizenship. We have had such Ter
ritories from the beginning and have
them now. In this State we have a
most curious illogical and incompre
hensible anomaly. Whenever the
negro makes a move, or shows un
usual political animation, as if for
the purpose of securing control of
the state government, or any part of
it, we strike him down with a strong
hand and are justitied in doing so to
preserve our civilization and prop
erty. And yet we keep on our stat
ute book the foolish ami insupporta
ble law making it a penal offense
with severe pains and forfeitures for
any emigration agent who comes into
our borders to induce these same ne
groes to migrate. We ought instead
to pay him a bounty for every mem
ber of the negro race who will be
persuaded to go elsewhere. This
brings me to the consideration of the
industrial aspects of the question.
Cheap degraded labor is a curse to
any country. Cheap negro labor in
the South Atlantic and Gulf States
is a curse to those sections just as
cheap Chinese labor was a curse to
the Racific States. Chinese labor
starved out white labor, and 1 have
adverted to the steps taken to get
rid of it. Of one thing, I think, wo
may rest assured, until there is a
thinning out of the negro population
in the South, there will be no ap
preciable increase of white imigra-
tion. The negro works so cheaply,
ills wants are comparatively so few.
he is content with such poor habita
tions, and coarse food the whites can
not compete with him in the fields of
labor. Is it then surprising that our
young white men are leaving the
farms, and seeking employment in
avocations where they are not
thrown in competition with such
labor? Need we be surprised to hear
wails almost of dispair, going from
men who feel authorized to speak
over the depressed and declining con
ditions of our farming interests. If
we did not have so many negro farm
hands we would not plant so much
cotton, ami if we would not plant so
much cotton, we would be financially,
socially and physically better off.
The section of our country be
tween the 28th and UTth Parallels of
Latitude of which this place where
we stand is a part could be made the
most prosperous, beautiful, richest
agricultural region of the earth, and
I am not going to discredit my own
race so far as to admit we are not
able to make it so unaided by any
other race. And I am not going to
discredit the negro race so far as to
say if given an equal chance in a
tropical climate, congenial to his na
ture, he will not be able to work out
his destiny, and prove his capacity
for a higher and better fate. As it is
he is left to scratch over the poor,
worn out cotton hills of the South,
and make many of them, by compari
son, a veritable desert. I know my
motives will be misrepresented in
what 1 have said, and that I shall be
charged by shallow paled agitators
with animosity to the negro. Hut it
is not true. Nothing would afford
me more pleasure than to see them
enjoy the fullest measure of happi
ness and prosperity, and in my judg
ment the best way to attain it is fol
lowing the advice of Bishop Turner,
of Georgia, and other leading,
thoughtful members of his race, and
seek a home where he will cease to
live under the shadow of his former
slavery, and no longer live in the
minority. Many members of the
Jewish race, are agitating the return
to Jerusalem of the scattered fami
lies, and build up anew that frag
ment of their former greatness.
Why not the more favored members
of the African race employ the en
lightenment they have acquired by
carrying it to their brethren in the
home of their fathers, and spread
among them the light of the Gospel
and the blessings of civilization.
On personal grounds I should regret
to see them go, but for the Interest
of both races, I would rejoice to see
them happily feettled in a land of their
own. The question you will natur-
afly ask, is; How is this separation
oftheracffto be efty ‘
the consent of the parties inter* s'ed.
If consent cannot be procured, it
cannot be effected, as I would dis
countenance anything like coercion
or unjustice. In DWO I introduced
u bill in the U. S. Senate, “Provid
ing for the emigration of persons of
color from the Southern States,” ap
propriating five millions of dollars,
for a beginning, to carry out the ob
jects of the bill. I made a speech in
support of that bill and every pre
diction therein made, has been veri
fied over and over again.
Now, T know, it is a very serious
undertaking to move eight millions
of people, but when we reflect upon
the improvement made in transpor
tation since the slaves were brought
from Africa in sailing vessels, when
we recall the millions upon millions
of people who have crossed the At
lantic from the old country, when we
remember with what ease and com
fort people are transported long dis
tances by land and water, the moving
of eight millions of people is neither
difficult or chimerical. (
The goverment aided the Indians
to change their homes, in many in
stances against their will. Why not
the government aid the negro with
his consent? The government made
it possible for people to settle in the
wilds of the west by expending mil
lions on military posts, and estab
lishing garrisons for their pritec-
tion. It gave bounties to the emi
grant in the shape of homesteads,
and tree planting It subsidized
railroads by princely donations of
land, and endorsement of railroad
bonds, which, in part, enabled the
railroad companies to give cheap
rates to imigrants. Why may not
something like this be done lor the
negro? This idea of separating the
races and colonizing the negro did
not originate [with me. No less a
person than Abraham Lincoln con
ceived the plan in 1862, the man who
the negroes justly regard as their
greatest friend, liberator and apostle
of freedom. He foresaw the present
conditions, and in 1862 was nego
tiating for the purchase of a large
territory in Central America to
colonize the negro. It was an open
secret that General Grant had that
in view when he endeavored to pur
chase the Island of San Domingo in
the west Indies.
The report, which I have before
me, after giving a history of the in
vestigation, ordered by Mr. Lincoln
to be made of the territory in Central
America, says: “On the 14th of
August, 1862, he, (Lincoln), received
a deputation of colored men, and in
one of his homely and striking
speeches lie explained his purpose
and endeavored to reconcile them
t) expatriation by portraying the
features of the new home selected for
them ; ho said :
“The place I am thinking of for
a colony is Central America. It is
nearer than Liberia, and within
seven days run by steamer. Unlike
Liberia, it is on agreat line of travel;
it is a highway. The country is a
very excellent one for any people,
with great natural resources and es
pecially because of a similarity of
climate with your own land—this be
ing suited to your physical condi
tions. The particular place I have
in view is to be a great highway,
from the Atlantic orCarribean sea to
the Pacific Ocean; and this particu
lar place has all the advantages for
a colony. On both sides there are
harbors among the finest in the
world. Again there are evidences
of very rich coal mines.” He closed
the interview with this simple and
characteristic appeal: “Could I get
a number of tolerably intelligent
men, with their wives and children,
I think I could make a satisfactory
commencement. I want you to let
me know whether this can be done
or not. These subjects are of very
great importance, worthy of a months
study of a speech delivered in an
hour, I ask you then to consider
seriously for yourselves, and your
race, for the good of mankind, things
that are not confined to the present
generation, but as
From uxt- to uk<‘ doseends tin: lay
To millions yet to he.
Till far its eelioes roll away
Into eternity.”
Thus spake Abraham Lincoln, a
man of great kindness of heart, the
friend of the negro, with more sagac
ity and foresight than most men of
his day. It cannot be justly charged
that he was influenced by motives of
ill will or hostility to the negro race.
As to the constitutional power or
competency of Congress to lend its
aid to such a colnization proposition,
the clearly expressed opinion of
Daniel Webster, may be quoted in
its favor, and I doubt if it could be
successfully questioned by the
strictest constructionits.
My candid judgment is, if an earn
est honest effort should be made by
leading colored men of the country
to revive Mr. Lincoln’s plan or a sim •
Jar one, Congress could be induced
to adopt the necessary measures to
carry it out.
Such an effort would be the dawn
of a happy day for both races, and
would do more to purify the moral,
social, political and industrial at
mosphere of this country than ten
thousand protests against lynching
and lawlessness or endless volumes
of statutes against them.
The dedication of one or more of
the Islands of the Pacific, or the
West Indies into which we have ex
panded, or the purchase of territory
on the mainland nearer to the
United States would be entirely
practicable and witli the aid of the
national government could be car
ried into effect without injury to any
but great advantage to all. I believe
it was Mr. Lincoln who also said:
‘‘This government cannot endure
half slave and half free.” If he was
alive to-day he would exclaim with
equal emphasis: ‘‘This Republic
cannot endure with so large a pro
portion of thd BovprelgiiH.'Jn some of
the Htutca disfranchised, and having
no participation in the powers of
government.” He was Kouthern
born, with his most intimate associa
tions and ties In a slave Htute. He
was an evolutionist as were a great
many men who moved from slave to
free States* but he never favored
equality between the races in the
full sense of that relation. In bis
great debate with Stephen A.
Douglas he repeatedly announced his
riMipUa ®u Hu#, dUcouraging
such a possibility and none but im
practicable fanatics ever advocated
such an absurdity.
Apologizing to you my fr:er.d4 frr
the length of this address and thank
ing you for your patience in hearing
with me let me command to you on
this natal day of nur independence
a careful study of the difficult, com
plicated problem we have to deal
with, in order that we may reach n
proper and just solution of it. Let
us deal with it in the open arena of
calm, dispassionate, eandid discus
sion, on lines of enlighted reason and
with a liberal toleration for differ
ences of opinion.
Thu Sjiort*.
At the conclusion of the speaking
Mr. Butler and Mr. McCullough held
a reception on tiie stand and many
people, some of them the old wai-
rior’s comrades in the date unplea -
antness, greeted them warmly and
held pleasant little chats with them.
The crowd then repaired to the in
closure where the sports were to take
place. The lamb race was a pretty
contest and was won by Nettie Clary.
The greasy pig race was full of i x: it -
merit. On the first trial his pigship
succeeding in getting out of the lot
and away from the boys. He was
caught, however, by an outsider ami
brougiit back and the race run over.
On the second trial Leo Little caught
the pig Six colored boys entered
the sack race. They started off at a
brisk pace but had not gone far when
several fell down. They got up again
and continued in the race, which was
won by a boy locally known as Wil
liam Henry. The greasy pole con
test was finally declared off after a
number had tried to climb it with
out success. The pie-eating contest
was full of interest and came near br
ing the cause of several colored fun
erals, as the contestants came near
choking themselves to death. Fi
nally one slick headed little fellow
wadded his all up in one pile and
pushed it in his mouth, while others
dropped theirs on the ground and
some went so far as to put it in their
pockets. This the judges did not see
so they awarded the first prize to the
little slick headed fellow and the
second prize to Oscar .Smith, famil
iarly known as “Buzzard.” All these
contests were the source of much fun
and amusement. Old and young,
big and little, were in an uproar
while they were taking place and
there was no such thing as keeping
the enormous crowd back. After
these contests an adjournment was
taken for dinner.
During the lamb race Mr. Cotton
lost a gold ring with a black enam
eled set and goid initial and chip dia
mond. This was tiie only misfortune
of the day except to those who got
on the wrong side of the races and the
baseball.
Afted dinner the bicycles races
took place. The first race was a
three mile race in which Ltere were
four entries: Will Darby. Will Sur
ratt, Walter Gaffney and Ervin Har
din. Darby took the lead on a Vic
tor wheel, set a good pace and main
tained it until the end and came out
victor. He never allowed one of the
other riders to pass him at any time.
He won the gold medal. The time
keeper got so excited that he forgot
to stop the watch and therefore the
time was nut taken. Sarratt won
second prize, a handsome silver me
dal.
The second race was a two mile
race, two entries—Sherrer, of Clover,
and Rush Gray, of Gaffney. This wss
a nice race in which the Clover man
won.
The third and last race was a one
mile heat, in frhich there were sev
eral entries. In this race Will Sar
ratt won the first prize and Rush
Gray won the second. All races
were good and the contestants de
serve much credit for their work.
The baseball game was a farce, so
far as Gaffney was concerned. Tbe
York boys outclassed them in every
respect and won by a score of 15 to If.
All in ail tbe celebration was a
grand success and will long be re
membered by the thousands who at
tended as a most enjoyable occasion.

AN UNFAILING SIGN THAT
NATURE IS APPEALING
When Nature is overtaxed, she has
her own way of giving notice that assist
ance is needed. Sim does not ask for
help until it i-* impossible to get along without
it Boils and pimples are an indication that
the system is accumulating impurities which
COR UCID must l»e gotten rid of ; tlc-y are an urgent apjieal for assistanoa
Fun nctr, —a warning that can not Hafely bo ignored.
To neglect to purify the blood at this
time means more than tiie annoyance of painful boiN and
unsightly pimples. If these irnpuritiM are allowed to
remain, the system succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is
unable to withstand the many ailments which are so
prevalent during spring and summer
Mrs L. Gentile, 2001 Second Avenue, Seattle, Wash .
says: “I was afflicted for a long time with pimples, which
were ver^ r annoying, as they disfigured my face fearfully.
After using many other remedies in vain. S S. S. promptly
and thoroughly cleansed my blood, and now 1 rejoice in
a good complexion, which I never had before.”
Capt. W. II Dunlap, of the A. G. S.
R R , Chattanooga. Term . writes:
“ Several boils and carbuncles broke out upon me, causing
great pain and annoyance. My blood seemed to be in
a riotous condition, and nothing I took seemed to do
