Why Not Bring Them to Fairaeld T The Waldensean Colony which set tied in North Carolina is prepariig to pick up -nd leave, and the News and Courier want. to know why they can n~t t e inanced to come to South Cart- I ling. We would like to know why they catnor be brought to Fai field County.

Chief among the causes is bad treatment. This should not have been so, and if they will come to Fairfidli County, our people will gu irantee jo them th it they shall be well treated, and eucouraged in every 1,ossible way. It is also said that t.hey were settled on bleak scrub pine hills, ajad coulJn't make a living out of the land, altbough they woiked hard. We have plenty of good land in this county that wiil give them a good comfortable living, if they will work as they have done in North Carolina, and they can get the1 land cheap. It seems that the Colony will follow Mr. John Meier of the llosiery Mills. I We advise iour farmers, w'ho have mocre I land than they can paissibly work to communicate with Mr. Mcier, at him full particulars of their lands, and state exactly what they will sell land for. Put your land down at the very 1 lowest figures, and offer himn good< terms, allowing a very low ante of I interest, and long tim2. Of course, * he wants his milli on the railroad, and it would be well to give him a site fort nothing. Prompt and intelligent action I may get these people. to settle. among us. We certainly are in a position to . make them a good offer. It seems to us that good lands can be had for from .$S to $5 per acre, a:ad on them can be grown as greater variety of crops as; anywhere else in th: worldi. If good treatment, good wee'r, good lands ati a low price, an unaexe -led climate avail anything, then these people can find no better place than Fairfield .1 County.t "WE ABE NTOT A FREE PEOPLE"'s He Declares, and it Will be Hard to Frame f a Constitution Now." To the Editor of the Greenvil!e News: * * * * * C The expense of a convention is very heavy on the people these hard titnes. It is true the Legislature seems to have t regarded that as a mere bagatelle by appropriating only $30,000 to meet it, but it will rtquire twice or thrice that sum in the end, even though the act calling the convention does attempt to limit the pay of delegates to $2 a day-t a manifestation of mean pareimony, a futile usurpation truly cotemptibleI wheni it is rememLered that the legis la:ors -themselves got $4 per day (tried hard for $5) and that the convention. 'is sovereign above the Legislature, with absolute power to regulate its = own pay and that of every department of the government. If it were not prompted by deep de sign, it is very absurd for a Legislature so economical as eur last one pro fessed to be, to have called a conven tion of 160 members-equal to the whole number of the House and Sen ate-wiben it might have consisted of only 124 members, the number of a Representatives in the House.

The worst thing about a constitu onal convention now, lwtver, is at our white people are hopelessly ivided and it seems plain we have ;aited too long-too long to assemble convention that could undoubtedly ild a fundamental law to secure 7hite snpremacy to a better advantage E the Caucasian race were animated s one man like they used to be. The vhites of nearly all the othe r conquered itates of the South were so animated vhen they held const tntional conven ions years ago to extract the dangerous angs of negro suflrage.

I did not take much notic however, for all my thoughts were fix upon the bull I was st:lking, when si denly my horse made a violent start th nearly threw me from my saddle, a: there came a mighty rush and uphea of something iji front of me. I lookc There was the hinder part of a seco bull elephant not four yards off. I cou just catch sight of his outstretched ea projecting on either side.

Obviously the best thing to would have been to let it run, but I v young in those days and foolish, and the exitement of the moment I lifted r "roer" or elephant gun and fired at t brute over my horse's head. The rect of the heavy gun nearly knocked me the horse. I recovered myself, hoc ever, and as I did so saw the bull1wu forward, for the impact of a three-oun bullet in the flanks will quicken t movements even of an elephant. By tl time I naa. reauize'1 l to101yot the shn and devoutly hoped that the bull wvot take no further notice of it. But he h a different view of the matter. Pulli himself up in a series of plunges, spun round and came for me with o1 stretched ears and uplifted trut screaming terribly. I was quite defen: less, for my gun was empty, and first thought was of escape. I dug:I heels into the sides of my horse, but would not move an inch. The poor a: mal was paralyzed with terror, and simply stood still, his fore legs ' 01 strehed, and quivering all over like On rushed the elephant, awful to se I made one more vain effort to stir t horse. Now the trunk of the great bt swung aloft above my head. A tholig flashed through my brain. Quick light I rolled from the saddle. By tl side of the horse lay a fallen tree, thick through as a man's body. -T1 tree was lifted a little off the ground1 the broken boughs, which took weight. and with a single movement, active is one in such necessities, I flui myself beneath it. As I did so I hea the trunk of the elephaint descend wi a mighty thud on the back of my po horse, and the next instant I was alrno in darkness, for the horse, whose hat was broken, fell over across the tre under which I lay ensconsed. But he d not stop there long. In ten secon< m re the bull had got his trunk rouw my dead nag's neck, and, with a migh effort, hurled him clear of the tree. wriggled backwards as far as I con towards the roots of the tree, for I kne what he was after. Presently I s.Lw ti red tip of the bulls trunk stret'iir itself towards mev. If he could imana to hook it round any part of me I w lost.

Thecn it w: my turn to scream, for next insta: half a square inch of hair was dragge from my scalp by the roots. I was b ig plucked alive, as I have seen crui Kaffir kitchen boys pluck a fowl. Ti elephant, however, disappointed wit1 the moderate results, changed his ta tis. lIe wotind his trunk around ti fallen tree and lifted it. I; stirred, hi fortunately the broken branch< soinioots which still aeld. prevented it from being turned over, though he lifted it so much that had it occurred to e him he could easily have fished me out with his trunk. Again he hoisted with all his mighty strength, and I saw that the tree was coming and roared aloud for , help. Some shots were fired close by in answer, but if they hit the bull their only effect was to stir his energies to more active life. In another few sec onds my shelter would be torn away and I should be done for. A cold per spiration burst over me as I realized a- that I was lost. Then of a sudden I re membered that I had a pistol in my belt which I often used for dispatching i wounded game. It was loaded and capped. By this time the tree was lifted so much that I could easily get my hand down to my middle and draw the pistol from its' case, I drew and cocked it. Ly See, the tree was coming, and there, d within three feet of my head, was the r great brown trunk of the elephant. I placed the muzzle of the pistol within an inch of it and fired. The result was ot instantaneous. Down sunk the tree again, giving one of my legs a consider able squeeze, and next instant I heard a t crashing sound. The elephant had t -bolted. r By this time, between fright and struggling, I was pretty well done. I can not remember how I got from under I the fallen tree, or indeed any thing, un k til I found myself sitting on the ground drinking some peach brandy from a a flask, and old Indaba-zimbi opposite to me nodding his white locks sagely, while he fired off moral reflec e tions on the narrowness of my escape, and my unwisdom in not having taken as his advice to go on foot. That reminded k me of my horse-I got up and went to of look at it. It was quite dead, the blow of of the elephant's trunk had fallen on the a saddle, breaking the framework and p rendering it useless. I reflected that in a another two seconds it would have fall a en on me. I called to Indaba-zimbi and asked which way the elephants had to gone. "There!' he said, pointing down the e gully, "and we had better go after them, Macumazahn. We have had the bad luck, now for the good." There was philosophy in this, though, ry to tell the truth, I did not feel particu he larly keen on elephants at the moment. I seemed to have had enough of thern. SIowever, it would never do to show the white feather before the boys, so I as ly sented with much outward readiness, e, and we started, I on the second horse, d and the others on foot. When we had a- traveled for the best part of an hour at down the valley all of a sudden we ,d came upon the whole herd, which num dl bered a little more than eighty. Just d in front of them the bush was so thick 'id that they seemed to hesitate about en teringr it, and the sides of the valley rs wer is- were so rocky and steep at this point .s- that they could not climb them. do They saw us at the same moment as w ve saw them,. and inwardly I was filled in with fears lest they should take it into mtheir heads to charge back up the gully. But they did not; trumpeting aloud, ithey rushed at the thick bush which went down before them like corn before wa sickle. I do not think that in all my h experiences I ever heard any thing to ce equal the sound they made as they he crashed through and .over the shrubs is and trees. Before .them was a dense t, zorest nelt irom ahundred to ahundred la and fifty feet in width. As they rushed ad on it fell, so that behind them was noth g ing but a level roadway strewed with he fallen trunks, crushed tranches, and t- here and there a tree, too strong evenl ik, for them, left standing amid the wreek. e- On they wvent, and, notwithstanding the y nature of the ground over which they fly had to travel, they kept their distance ie ahead of us. This sort of thing eim i tinued for a mile or more, and then I e saw that in front of the elephants the t valley opened into a space covered with a reeds and grass-it might have h'en five or six acres in extent-beyond which *e the valley ran on again. lie The herd reached the edge of th is (*x 11l panse, and for a moment pulled up. hes t itating-evidently they mistrusted it. s My men yelled aloud as only Katis can, te and that settled them. Iheaded by thie awounded hull, whose martial ardor. like e my own, was somewhat cooled, they y spread out and dashed into the trench ts erous swamp, for such it was. though Sc just then there was no water to be seen. , For a few yards all went well with them, ra though they clearly found it heavy h going; then sudaenly the great bull r sunk up to his belly in the stiff, peaty t soil, ~and remained fixed. The others, k mad with fear, took no heed of his Sstruggles and trunmpetings, bat plunged id on to meet the same fate. In five min is utes the whole herd of them was hope d lessly bogged, thc more they stru;g'led yto escape the deeper they sank. There Iwas one exception, indeed, a cow with a Scalf managed to win back to firm shore, wand, lifting her trunk, prepared to Scharge as we came up. But at tha t muo ment she heard the screatm of her ecalf, and rushed back to its assistance. cnly to bie bogged with the others. d~ Such a s~cne I neve'r sawv before or 1.- Since. Trhe s-.mp was spotted all o: r with the large for:ms of the eleph-ats, and the air rang with their se::a f rage and terror as they wa-;d their tvunks wildly to and fro. -'-w and 7 again a monster would make a ;;reat ef .fort to drag his mass from its p aty bed, only to stick fast again at the next stroke. It was a most pitiable Ki-ht, though one that gladdened the heart~s of my men. Even the best natives have little compassion for the sufferiupg: of lanimals. SWell, the rest was easy. The marsh that would not bear the elephants car ried our weight well enough. Before Smidnight all were dead, for we shot them by moonlight. I would gladly have spared the young ones and sonc of the cows, but to do so would only have meant leaving them to perish of hunger; -it was kinder to kill them at once. The wounded bull I slew with my own hand, and I can not say I felt much comipunc ~tion in doing so. ie knew me again, and made a desperate effort to get at me, sbutlIam glad to say the peat held him fast. The pan presented a curious sight Lwhen the sun rose next morning. Owing to the support given by the soil none of the de ad elephants had fallen; there they all stood as though they were t asleep. rI sent back for the wagons. and when they arrived on the morrow formed a it camp, about a mile away from the pan. dThen began the work of cutting out the elephants' tusks; it took over a week,! 1and for obvious reasons was a disgusting 0task. Indeed, had it not been for the h help of some wandering bushmen, who took their pay in elephant meat, I do! Cnot think we could ever have managed ,jAt last it was done.
