ELBERT H. AULL. EDITOR. ELBERT H. ALL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSEAL, NEWB ERRY. S. C. THURSDAY, JANUAtY I :', IS:a THE NEGRO QUESTION. That there is a negro question, or a race question, and that there has been such a question for a long time, and will continue to be sut:h a question in this country for a long time to come, in fact as long as the two races live together under the same government, seems to belittle doubted. The proper plan of dealing with this question is now agitating the public mind to a considerable extent. There is diversity of opinion on the subject. Some persons take the position that the proper and best solution of the mat ter is to let it alone and it will solve itself. Others take the position that the best plan and only solution of the question is a separation of the races, and the only way to accomplish this, is for the negro to emigrate. Two races differing as widely as the blacksand whites do, can hardly live peaceably under the same government, at the same time in the full and free en joyment of the same rights and privileges. It is a big question and must receive attention sooner or later. Senator M. C. Butler has introduced a bill into the United States Senate appropriating $5,000,000 to assist the negro to emigrate from the Southern States, and urges their colonization, or that they be sent to Africa. Senator Butler delivered a fine speech in sup port af his measure. He thinks that p >ssibly they would illumine the dark continent, and through them it might .Je civilized and christianized. That it would not only be better for the white man, but better for the negro, if each race could have its own country, can hardly be questioned. The races are entirely dissimilar and can never assimilate. No doubt it would be better for both if they could be separate-better in the end. It is not pr.oposed, neither is it desirable, that this deportation should take place at once, but gradually. We believe that that is the only proper and efficient solution of this question. Let them g> of their own accord. It will take a long time, but it will gradually solve the problem Some who object to this plan think it will remove the best labor we ever had, and that our lands will become idle and valueless. The negro is a good laborer when kept under control. But the land will be worked and the c >untry wvill prosper, when he is gone. It is a question that we cannot let alone. It will not down at our bidding. Don't forget the election to-day on the subject of Graded Schools. so---e shoula nave a lull vote so as to have a fair and full expression of the tax payers of the town. -The Florence Times of last week nominates Col. James A. Hoyt, of Greenville, as a candidate for the next Govenor of South Carolina. It is yet rather early in the year to be bringing forward candidates for State officers. There will likely be no lack of material available from which -to select, and no harm can come of talking of these matters, thbough a lit tie early in the season. The Alliance in A bbeville County has organized an Alliance bank to be known as the Fariners' Loan and Trust bank of Abbeville, with a capital of $63,000 subscribed. W. H. Parker was elected president, A. M. Aiken cashier. The farmers of Edgefield are doing -the same at Edgefield court house, or ganizing an Alliance bank. A meeting of the Board of Trustees oi the Clemson College is called to be held in Columbia to-day,:23dl. This will Le the first meeting of the full board. Nothing of special importance is to be considered further than the organiza tion of the Board. A RACE AROVND THE WORLD. In November two young ladies, Miss Nellie Bly and Miss Bisland, left New York for a race around the world, one going east and the other west. Several persons in New berry have been watching the race of these young ladies with considerable interest. Various guesses and possibly bets, as to the time it wvould take to make this trip, and 'which young lady would reach New York first, have been made. The Augusta Chronicle of Tuesday has the following in regard to the race, which may be of interest: "The race around the wvorld between two enterprising young~ wvomen is near * ing anm initeresting poinit. it is known that Nellie B!yv is on the Pacitle ('can and is duet in SauFrancisco to-day. Shei. left New York No,vermber 14 on the Augusta Victoria for EngI(lanld, arrivilng at Southampton on November :2:. On the same (lay that 31iss Bly sailed for England, Miss lRisiand left for han Francisco, anid ha:s bron I ravel ing west ever since. She reached Paris (on Sat urday, too late for the Havre steamer, and hastened to London in time to catch the Bot hnzi:1. the slowest of the Cuinarders. If Nellie BIyl resehies Sani Fraincisco to-day sh,e will s.til bi e ti ye dlays fromi New York, and as~ Miss Bishind has already cOoered t hree days oif her At lantie trip, the chances of her ge-tting to her journmey 'l is as good as her rival's. Hadl Miss Bisland (-:ught the H{avre steaiiner, she wouldl have beaten Miss Lv. It is a pretty race, anid thle whole world is looking at the result. T1hre time of the 2.5,000o riles will probably beseventy-three days'' The State Suny Sebool (Convt n tion will be held in Columbia March 4-G. The call of the executive committeel is published in another column. The progranmme will be published in a short time. It is important that the Sun day Schools of the county have repre sentiin in thi convntin. The Columbia Register in speaking of Presidential candidates says the one to be successful is Cleveland, Campbell, and the Country, and calls it the Three C's. This name in these parts is asso ciated with a railroad that was never t.uilt. or has not been yet, though we have often been assured that work would begin in 30 days. Let tn have Cleveland and Campbell though, if you like. We believe Cleveland is stronger with the people to-day than ever be fore. He is truly a pe:ple's man be cause heseems to have none of the politician about. He always impressed us in his public and oficial acts as doing what he conceived to be right and his duty, honestly and sincerely. without regard to the consequences either to himself or his party. A man who does this will surely come out on top in the end. But let's not call the combiuation the Three "'s. A BOLD DASH FOR FIEE)OM. Two convicts Tire of the Confinement of Prison Walls-One Killed in his Nash Attempt and One Eicapes Badly Wounded. [From the Sundays News.] CoLUMmA, January 18.-Two white convicts at work t'n the Columbia Canal, Richard Gardiner, convicted of larceny of live stock in two eases at the Mareh term, 1889, for Lancaster County, and sentenced to ten year imprisonment, and William S. Jack son, convicted of riot and assault, etc., in two eases at the September ternh, 188J, for Chesterfield County, and sentenced to eight years' iiiprisonlnent. attempted to escape this mornig at about half-past S o'clock. They were working just above the check dai, near the track ef the Columbia and Greenville Railroad, about a mile above Elmwood avenue, when they suddenly threw down their tools and started up the railroad bank towards the woods on the other side. They were com pelled to pass between two of the guards, who commenced firing on them as soon as possible. Gardiner was shot down and instantly killed, about se venty-five yards fioni where he started, and Jackson was evidently''hit by one of the shots, as he fell and scrambled along for snie distance on his hands and knees, but succeeded in regaining his feet and getting away. The guards are still pursuing him. Gardiner was convicted of stealing horses in Lancaster County and selling them in New Brookland, just across the river from Columbia. He was a desperate fellow and has made several plans to escape. On last Thursday Capt. Sligh, who is in charge of the work, was informed by a convict that Gardiner and three others, two white and one colored, had made up their minds to run past the guards, where upon he called him up, told him that he knew of the plot and cautioned him not to attempt it, as the guards had been notified to keep a sharp lookout for him and would certainly kill him. He denied it bitterly, but the sequel to day proves his insincerity. Both Gard iner and Jackson were shackled, but had broken the chain before they started. The coroner's jury returned a verdict that the convict had come to his deat b from wounds inflicted by a guard in: the discharge of his duty. The one who escaped has not yet been recaptured. A Bogus Dete.tie. [Special to News and C'onrier] COLDIBIA, S. C., January 21.-Co lumbia has had numerous detective ad ventures and Columbians have been treated to numerous detactive stories, but, the hut, an strangest comes fromt Newberry and Laurens .A green goods man named John James pretending tc be chief of Wilkerson's Southern Detee tive Agency of Norfolk, Va., w'?nt te Laurens and New berry and represented to various persons that he was a grea t king of detectives. He went to H. WV. Workman,of Laurens, and obtained a large sum of money, in consideration of which he was to ferret out the incen diary who burned 3Mr. Workman's barn. Jamies Brown came to Columbia yesterday and imminediately left for parts unknown. M1r. J. H. Chappell, the well-known and efficient ex-chiefoi police of Newberry, and MIr. WV. H. Workman, of Laurens, camne down th is afternoon and reported the matter to Chief Graham, of this city. The chief was not long in deciding wvhat to do, and immediately telegraphed to Dan ville, Va., to which place James had purchased a ticket, to have James ar Irested at once. MIr. C'happell wilt ob tain the proper papers to-morrow and proceed directly to Danville for the prisoner. The chief has also taken the precaution to telegraph to a number of other places, giving a minute descrip tion of James, who is rep)resented as being a tall, handsome man, with blue eyes and a long red niustache, and with the appearance of one who owns the world with a fence around it. James owes one or two hills at the Hotel Jerome in this city. The ameteur in South Carolina, especially at Colum bia, and James will probably be sorry he ever left home before he gets through with this little escapade. Nellie E.ly Around the World. NEw YoRK, Jan. 19.-General inter est is felt among newspaper circles, and also outside, in the race around the world, just being finished by MIiss Bis land, of the Cosmopolitan M1agazine, and Nelly Bly, of the Newv York World. Belief is growing that, because of the great snow blockade on the Pacific rail roads, Mi1ss Bly cannot arrive from San Franicisco before MIiss Bisland reaches here from Queenstown, fromt which point she sailed to-day. SAN FRAxeciSo. Jan. 21.-The stea:ner Oceanic arrived this mlornling with Nellie Bly aboard. A tug took her off' the steamer outside and carried her to Oakland, where a special train was in wvaiting which took her eastward over the Southern Pacific road to Minjave, w-here achange was made to the At lantic and Pacitic road TIte World wvill say in the mhorning.
