It ip strange that men fail to
recognize in human life the operitiuuh
1 ptiiicipleo which are so
roudiiy admitted in the realm of
physical science.
That large oaks from little
actons grow, that as the twig is
bent s<> will the tree become, that
tne boy id fattier to the man?
tiit se are old nai ittws expressed |
iu lime worn adages. Small bo
gainings at e seen every where ami
the process of development is
uuivei <aily observed. Men do
not tuaivel that great treea have
come from tiny acorns nor that
a man has developed from a boy.
Should, however, a tree spring)
up in a single night or a man of I
mature statue and mind appear
in a moment there wonld justly
be wonder and consternation.
Why not apply these truths to
sociological conditions? i'ublic
senuuiout is annulled hv a das
tardly uHBHHsinationandstill more
horrifi d by the judical justifi
cation of a red handed, blackhear!ri
murderer. But is the
condi tjou which makds such
thi n>.Ts possible the product of ^
moment? Or is it the inevitable
and logical result of an cvolu
tiouuiy process? Can wo not
fiuJ ilie genesis of this condition
deen looted in our social life?
The law, human and divine,
has been defied and violated, and
that defiance and violation
have beeu excused. The taking
of human life, the highest crime
kuown to man and God, has been
condoned, and the guilty has
been permitted to go unwbipped
of juatico. The horror of the
doed and the injustice of the
veidtci have shocked and stunned
a State and a nation. But
why ? Have we not accustomed
ourselves to minor violations ot
the law? Are these not the foun
dation, the genesis, of greater
and more flagrant violations,
leadirig inevitably to the greatest
and most, flagrant ?
It our people would wipe out the
blood guiltiness which now stains
our State they must take a stand
v for the strict obscrvauce ond euV
fore incut of every law, large
and small, important and unim
portaat;they must demaud the
sure, swift and adequate punish
maul r\f u 1) low keAolr/???
v w? m<i in n ?yi ranuin, Ul?ll .
and low, groat and small, powerfu!
and influential?all alike.
There must be no discrimination
in the courts, no blinking nor
blinding of justice, but a stern,
unwavering adherence to the
great foundation principles which
protect our institutions from anarchy.
To be specific, not only the law
against murder must be enforced
and murderers punished, but the
statutes against assaults, against
fraudulent practices, against
stealing, against the carrying of
Hao ,w, ? ? '
vj. c-.i.j v?t-aywiltt, UJlIlg, [lie (
illegal sale of whiskey?these)
ami others must be enforced to
the letter. At the same time, we
must require of persons in public,
office the strictest adherance to
the terms of their oaths of office,
compelling them both to observe
the laws themselves and to enforce
ihetn nzainPt others.
It is only in this way that our
gociet.v can be insured against
anarchy. We must begin at the
bottom and build up a senti
mei f which will condemn l?w.

Toe enforcement of the law
against vagrants is certainly a
needed, wholesome tonic for the
scores of idle and worthless
young colored men that infest the
dives and alleys and hangouts at
the depot stations and on the
street corners of this and other
cines?'living easy, as luey call
it, with not a single purpose in
life ? j'| jifoft!%c
fashionaJe debut of some sociotygoing
white man who forms their
ideal. From this class of loafers
criminals and sueak thieves are
bred and much of the trouble
| and disgrace of the race come.
I Fut the screws to them thirty
days tight or let them go to work
for au honest living or move on
to a land of milk and honey,
where daily toil is an unknown
quantity. A pick for a banjo, a
shovel for u violin, a chain for a
bow and a Winchester for a baton
will be a useful recreation.
The above article, head inelu
ded, was clipped from the Easley
I'rogreRH, therefore we have no
means of knowing what paper it
was taken from, but we ri?e to
remark that the sentiments expressed
are along right linos and
! indicates that its editor is a gentleman,
notwithstanding his color.
Some how or other we can't
help bill lihe a good nu^io, and
to say that there are no good
ones is a base fabrication. We
admit that there are some very
I trilling ones, but we haven't a
I bit of use for them, but there are
[some good ones left and we have
a kind spot tor them.
While on a trip over into North
Carolina last summer, an old darkey
that worked on the pluuta
tion where the writer was partly
raised, came several miles to
town for no other purpose than
? . ~ I I. _ I i_ :.L IT
| in nnunw IW1I1UIS Willi US. HIS
wile also came with him. The
hearty grasp of his black hand,
made rough by toil, told more
eloqueutly than any words or
tongue that, deep down in his
heart he was also glad to see lis.
For two hours or more he sat un|der
the shade of the back porch
of a respectable white lady and
chatted with us of old times. To
deny that we enjoyed the reminiscences
would be to falsify.
And yet there was no social
equality in it. None at all.
There was no unwarranted embracing
of colored Deonle bv a
white man, no intrusion by a colored
man into the presence ot a
white man.
It our friends at the North
could (or a moment, understand
this feeling that exists between
the whites ot I he South and the
blacks, they would not bother
about the race question. If they
could understand the feelind that
compels the whiles to rise up in
their wrath against the unmentionable
crime of tho black brute
they would not raise their voice
in denunciation. Hut, thank
heaven, all the negroes of the
South are not black brutes?no
not. by any means?and those
who respect theniseivas and
others are in turn respected and
protected, and, wo might say,
loved by fhr-ir white friends.?

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Special Cor. of Tho Enterprise.
Washington, October 20.?The
disagreement between Russia and
Jqnqn !|i?1 utter breakdown
of the much heralded "open door"
in Mancnuria has alarmed the
export merchants of the United
States, and they have sounded a
r.r to of warning to I'rcridc::?
Roosevelt and tho Republican j
leaders, thai instead of aidimr I lie!
enlargement 01 our business 1111
Asia, tliey have virtually closed
the door that was at least partly
open. That Russia will ever withdraw
from Manchuria is not within
the realm of probability; she
owns the railroads and the banks
there; the Chinese authorities
are subservient to the Russian
representatives ; in a word, Manchuria
is Russianized. The boast
of the administration that the
treaty just concluded with China
gives us two open ports in that
country is, therefore, worthless,
unless Russia opens their doors,
for she has the key to both of
them. Even it these two ports
were opeu, are they of any value?
Mookden, one of the two. is on a
small river 100 miles Iroin the!
tea, accessible by a scow, and
Niu Chwang, at the moulh ol the
stream, is occupied by the Russians.
The other is a village on
the coast, but there is no harbor,
and su shoal is the ? lliug that no
man-of-war could approach within
20 miles. The merchant who
tries to get any trade through
these "open doors" will not bless
John ilay and the Republican
party.
The Sugar Trust, having bought
a controlling interest in its competitor,
the Beet Sugar Trust, the
light so long waged between the
Republican factions over Cuban
reciprocity will probably cease.
The reduction in the* duty on
sugar for which Cuban reciprocity
provides, will give the combined
trust hit enormous bonus,amounting
to millions of dollars on all
the raw sugar imported from Cuba
and, under the laws of trade, the
price of refined sugar should decline
at the same ratio. Hut the
trust is so fully protected by the
duty of about one and one quarter
cents a pound on refined
sugar that the foreign article can
hardly be imported here to compete
with the trust. Freight,
tariff duty and other charges
make the cost of importing foreign
refined sugar about equal to
the trust price. If raw and refined
sugar paid the same duty,
the trust would have to reduce
its price accordingly and the consumers
of the United States
would buy their sugar at retail
for at least one cent a pound less
than they now pay tor it. That,
is the reason the Democrats in
the last congress proposed and
passed through the house of rep
resentatives the amendment to
the Cuban Reciprocity Hill abolishing
the extra tariIT duly on re
fined sugar, which is technically
called the discriminating duty.
When the Cuban reciprocity
measure comes up at the coming
session of Congress, the
Democrats will olfer the same
amendments. How many republicans
will be found voting withi
them? The issue will be a plain |
one?the trust or the people.
