One of the most clear-cut signs of the times as bearing on the race prob lem was manifest in the convention of the Federation of Labor recently held at Scranton. The proposition to admit negro laborers ’nto the onions was introduced and discus sed. but the opposition developed was mo strong that the advocates of the measure prudently forbore to press it and the matter was passed over without definite action. This incident is full of meaning »nd prophetic of complications and serious trouble in the near future. That the measure was not pressed, after having been sprung, is a cnn- lession of conscious weakness on the part, of its advocates; that it was dismissed without dedrnte action, is evidence that the sentiment against it was firm and overwhelming. It is a settled fact that neither the white labor of the north nor of the south will allow the negro to become a competitor in the arts and indus tries that require intelligence and anything like skillful manipulation. This state of things from one stand point at least, appears to be unfor tunate. The white people of the aouth are making honest efforts to elevate the negro.or rather to give him the opporunity to elevate himself. They have generously put the means of education and of ail tne privileges of free citizenship within his reach, and his intellectual, moral, and social elevation is practically in his own bands. The leaders of his race re cognizing the difficulties in the way of social and political equality with the whites, have decided, wisely as most people think, that the kind of education best adapted to his present condition and environments is that which will make him a skilled laborer—a mechanic, a bricklayer, a atone cutter, or some other species of artisan. There are several great institutions in the south in which hundreds and thousands of the young of the race are being carefully pre pared for such employ merits. Where are these trained artisans to find employment, if they are not permitted t"o- come into competition with white men of the same trades? It may be that fora time, they will be allowed to work on separate con tracts which will employ no white workmen, but this *.1)1 be only h r a time; for work in that way will he competition, and competition will not be tolerated by the whites either north or south. Already the plan here proposed has been tried in some of the north western states wnere lartie bodies of negroes were imported to take the place of union strikers, and the negroes were driven off by force. What then will become of the ne groes who are being trained in tech nology? They will not be content to become field hands, and if the labor unions close the doors of employ ment against them, they will become the most helpless part of their race, If not sowers of discord, agitators, and promoters of lawlessness and dis turbance. One unique feature of the situation is that those who are most generous towards the negro and the least j.-al- ous of his promotion are the old slave owners and their descendants. Many of these have worked side by side with the negroes on the farms, and they have never learned to fear that jiegro will claim social equat or that he will ever urive the ^Oian out of profi.ahle employ- .Ah a rule these are the best mt the only disinterested [ at the negro now has either Lh or in the south. We do intimate that any large [he whites are actually un- lostile towards the negro. »ao to say is that the thoi- s .Clide Harris Dead. We are pained to learn of the death of Mr. Clide Harris, which occured at th ' home o f his father, Mr. Alfred Harris at Algood, in this county, on the 16'h inst., after an illness of only a few clay of typhoid pneumonia. Mr. Harris was about twenty-ore years old and was a young man of mar y fine traits of character which endeared him to his neighbors and made him a tower of strength and comfort to his aged parents who alone know the extent of their be reavement. Clide was a most worthy young man, popular with all who know him. His bereaved parents have the sincere sympathy of their friends in their deep trouble. The funeral services|were held at his father’s home and were conducted by Rev. W. T. Thompson, and the remains were interred at the Smith grave-yard near the home of his parents in the preseuce of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends. < i II Some Reasons Why You Should Insist on Having FMBA HARNESS OH I! c c -- C' 11n - »imi broke the- records for IK cember.
