THE. (OLORED TENAN SYSTEM
Elsewhere we publish an article
from the Columbia Register on the
above subject. We do not see as
our cotemporary that the system is
-~ replete with danger to the State and
that South Carolina is to become a
hopelees wreck with this colored
?ttant sy tem upon her soil. It is a
fact that' the colored man is here
among as-and. that he is here to stay.
It is no use to argue that questio'n.
The thing for the white man and the
landowners is to -make the best possi
ble of the condition.of things as they
are. Taken as a whole the negro is
about the best labor we can procure.
He makes but little and except in
very rare instances not more than a
bare and scanty subsistence. This
fact alone is sufficient to make him
restless and to create a . desire to
move about in the hope to better his
condition. The land owners can t
aifrd to give more. The trouble is
neither landlord nor tenant is making
anything. We take it that the fault
rests more with the landlord than the
poor negro tenant. If the landowner
would see to it when making the
yearly contract that the tenant be re
quired by its terms to be more under
his control and direction and then
-make it his -business to see that the
tenant properly work his crop, both
parties at interest would be benefitted
and there would e less desire on the
part of the colored tenants to be
ehanging their homes; because tWy
would be making something for them
selves.
We agree with our contemporary
that better homes should be procured
for the negro tenant. Some of our
best amersi are looking to this mat
ter now, and are building such houses
foir their tenants 'that some of the
comforts or lire may be enjoyed by
colored tenants that they make some
thing for him and for themselves and
furnishes them ordinary comforts in
the way of houses they are not in
cdined to be changing their homes
every year. When properly worked
and cared for the colored tenant ias a
rule will be found obedient and wil'
ling to do his part.

WHAT WE SEE-WHAT WE DON'T
SEE; WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE
WHAT WE DON'T LIKE TO SEE.
BY THESS-SCORE.
If a benefit is to be bestowed, or,a
bequest made, and the iecipient is
- not ourself, we feel as great cause
f for rejoicing at the good fortune of
- the other man, or woman, as if it
I were ourself-that is, almost. The
1 announcement made elsewhere, of
- the extreme good. fortune of our
friend. Miss Maggie McNinch, there
fore fills our heart- with joy. We
have known her now for about ten
years, and in all that time have seen
- nothing but gentleness in her charac
ter. Her life has been -one of trial,
f but bravely has she fought her way
through, and by her talents and abil
ity, and her amiabiity, she has won
a for herself a name in the literary
world. Her good fortune is merited,
- ind we feel aesured that she will
make good use of the wealth so un
expectedly thrown at her feet. This
is- one of the things that we really
ike to see.
t It is/a virtne to keep clear of per
sonalities in our daily or general
conversation. There are many things
that we can talk about rather than
e of personal!, or about what our
neighbor is doing, or going to do.
Better speak of the common and
worn oat theme-the weather--than
k about our neighbor. Sometimes of
i course it is necessaary to be person.
a al, but circumspection should be ob
a served ; how, when and where should
e be the rule. Whenever possible, say
something good of your neighbor,
L- even if he is your enemy, and by so
" doing you will in all probability
wmake him your friend. Speak good
always, and you will be surprised
. how good you will yourself feel, and
d how much yon will be thonght of by
: others. We could point out families
proverbial for their always speaking
, ill of others, constantly dissecting
! the character of persons, many of
whom are better than themselves.
We knew a lady once who always
closed her ears when her friends.
t oommenced their every day gossip,
and she was one of the steetest Ia.
dies we ever knew ; never did we
hear her say one word against friend
or foe. No doubt there are many
. such, and we wish from the bottom
of our heart that we knew them. We

~jWe never witness a marriage car
mony and seldom read of one but
we are impressed with its deep so.
lemnity and its probable effect on
the man and woman. - How few mar
ried couples think of the step taken,
and less thought perhaps is given to
it by the man than the woman. It
is a life time tie which binds two
hearts, and nothing but death should
sever it. The party think of it in its
worldly aspect ; they are in love
beauty on one side and manliness on
the .other, but the divine essence en
ters not into their hearts ; what God
joins together let not man put asun
der does not impress them. Some
times we see a tender, loving, beau
tiful woman, reared in the lap of lux
ury and indulgence, tie herself to .a
man rough in exterior, coarse in
manner and altogether different from
the woman. We pity her. Some
times the marriage runs smoothly
and ends happily. Our sympathy is
for the woman. She is known for
what she is, and is tender, solicitous
and truthful ; but the man is masked
-his bad.habits are hidden. Soine
Limes he is guilt) of taking a drink.
occasionaly,: This habit grows,
til it finally ends in drunkenness.
We pity the tender wife, and_there is
no hope for her unless -death steps
in, or by process of law she is re
leased. Therefore we say we are al
ways impressed by a marriage cere
mony.
THE COLORED TENANT SYSTEM.
The colo*ed tenant syste.m is full
of danger to the State as it now ex
ists. It is u-eless to suppose that
this system can be got rid of, and we
are not prepared to say how far it
would be best for a common soc-ety
to dep, ess the colored classes by de
priving them when they wish it o.
being in charge of their own little
farming interests. Yet, very plaiil
in the interest of all classes, this
tenant 'gstem must be vastly im
.proved or it will uiterly destroy the
landed property of the.Sate;siws
to leave lands thus used a woefully
unproductive waste at no distant
day..
The first -thing to be done is,- 1at
the relation of landlord and'tenant
should be made of a more eirduing
nature. It should not be an annual
one, but should-run for five years or
more. Better habitations should be
furnished by the landlord, encourage
ment given the tenant to raise-im.
proved stock, so as to furnish .lis
own meat supply and dairy produets;
So, also, a supply of healthful fruits
and -vegetables should. be secured-for
the tenant and by his own efforts.
In short, he should .be encourage(d

Along with all this the tenant.shoul'd

A BIT OF ADVICE.
Business being at a stand-still, I am very
much afraid that some of our young men
will get- the 'lide." Young man ! get
thee to a tannery, to a tinshop, to a
chicken ranch. You can soon become
your own boss, independent, and com.
mander of your own little kingdom, if
you'. are prudent and economical, but
never wear out your young years be
hind either counter or desk-and spend
.your salary for having you'air parted
in. the middle in the hope of catch
ing the heiress who prefers her father's
coachman. Boys! you can always be
come clerks and pot-house politicians ;
everybody can sell dry goods and cloth
iug, aid act as Clerk iu the Mint, Cus
tom Hduse' or Post-offlce, but every
one can't carn a living like a good me
chanie if he is thrown out of office.
IDLENESS
gets the better of some people once in
awhile, and that is wh-'t always makes
trouble. When will any good ever c.,ime
of minding other peop:e's bu-inessy In
a Cincinnati publication of last week, I
made some. reflcetions about a certain
"somebody" of this town, and I can
assure you.one and all, that, a few copies
of said-publication were worn complete
ly out from being carried around to show
the "horrible" things which "Excel:ior"
had been saying. Did you ever notice,
gentle readers, how tender is the spot
upon which. the truth alights. - All the
apology.I shall ofter is that I hope those
who find4he shoe a good lit will put it on
and wear it. "I should not have men
tioned it," suchis the general talk. Per
haps I may, in future, avoid such pointed
remarks, as it should -be the ain of a
conscientious correspoiident to promote
interest and good feeling, and to that
end I shall bend may last effort. I have
no III feelings to give vent to, and am
always pleased when an opportunity
offers itself whereby I am enabled to
speak favorably of our people here, and
their doing4. "Excelsior" Is perfectly
willing to shoilder his own effusions,
since what he says is true, only too s rue.

A4 STaRET CAR CONVEEsATIox..
Byy my last year's y!sit to New York,
while riding on a horse-ear I was an. tun
~iriling listener to the 'conversation of a
certain young bachelor and a m:rIed
