One Repult of Phoonix Trouble--Other Catime of Their Departure--Whte len torm Wiu 'Jake-Their PlacH onl the Farns. (Special to The State.) . Greenwood, December 20.--The negroes of this county show a do. cidcd disposition to emigrate. Sov oral hundi ed are likely to leavo with ii a few weeks. Tho exodus coin menced a week ago, whon two cars filled with negro families left for lower Mississippi. Another car leit Sundny night. The 100 negroes that have gone went from the Sa'uda ection and several farms there are ractically tenantless. M ro are oing from the samo place. One A. W. Williams is the agent Vho is tauking off so many of the calorod population. Ho has taken a contract to pl-ice several hundred negro families with the ph utors in Southern Mississippi. For several reasons he selected Greenwot d coun ty as a good field for his business. Tlero is no denying the fact that the n ,egrooin the populons lections of this county are badly dem ralized. They aro in some places sti I panic stclken on account of the Phoenix trouble. They have not lit on mo lested but have the unreason ng fear of their real friends so coi mon to ignoranco. The negroes of Saluda, Ninety-Six and Phoenix will hardly make contracts for another y<f ar. 'llo financial depression h; - borne heavily on the negroes, makih g them more dishoartened. The mi rchants havo enforced collections to the des titntion of many families. Under the ciicnmstancos this ex. odus is expected to thin out tihe over abundant negro population of this county considerably. It is tho col ored renters who are getting off. As a consequence some of the best land in the c,unty will be occnl-ied by white renters hereafter. ICETUN OF TiHE PIESIDENT. Mr. McKinl y Arrive1 Safely in Wlshlnig ton Much 'letcael With lIIs Trip, an ac all the P,arty. Washington, December 20.-The Presidential party, after an absence of several days in the Sonth, arrived at the Pennsylvania station, over the Southern Railway, at. 11.30 o'clock this morning, exactly on schedule time. WVit.h the exception of Mrs. McKinley, wvho wvas slightly indis posed af. Atlanta, every member of the p)art.y has been in the best of healt.h, and all p)ronounced the trip~ most enjoyable, and a splendid suc cess in - every way. Every where ai stop was mnade the President was re ceoived with groetings and dlemon strations of an enthusiastic chamracter ad dnring the entire week thert was not a disturbing incident. Tha run from Columbia, S. C., was un. eventful, . and on arriv'al here th<. splendid train of six Pullman cars under t he p)esonahl supervision of General Agont Browvn, was ran ul the 6th street siding, whoire al alighted. The President and Mrs McKinley woere driven to the WVhite House at once. The last morning aboard the Pios~ ident ial train wa'is spent chieoflyi Sfarewell visits paid to each other b membhers of the party. The Pros dent received all his guests in hi own car. Hie expresse(d his entir satisfaction with the trip. Ini thi sentiment every member of the Cab net aboard heartily coincided, wvhi (Gons. Wheeler and Shaifter repeate the eulogistic expressions alread ~mado in their pub)lic speeches. TI general impression prevailed tha f 'the trip had cemented to a mnarve Ions degree the good feeling b)etwel the North and South, and hi b:-onghmt into p)rominence the oxcr lent condition and capabilities of tl army. The original object of t1 -visit, to celebrate the peaco wi Spain, lost its signilicance dlirect after the President's memorable 1 terances regarding the care of t Confederate dead.

Later on, whein they too, will havo had reverses, when they will have become homo genous and are no longer obliged to satisfy the exigencies of political parties, they, too, will form, like all other nations with a past, a code of international rights and duties, and be less inflexible towards thoso who have suffered defeat. They will botter understand that a strict ob servance of condit ions agrood to, even i the thick of the fight, is a guaran too and at protect ion for aill concerned for the cosqueror as well as the van quiied.

Bt after at journey across a l.ortion tof the Uniiited Stat s, President McKinley changed his policy and decitded on claiming the Philippines b)y right of conquest. "iYes, I repeat, the PhilippineL even now, are still unconquei ed.

On December 5th, int his imessage to con gress, the president mado no allu sion to our proposal, but descrit.ed the blowing up of the Maine as a suspiciols eeit. "On Decemiber (lith the American commissioners declared they refused to discuss this question. This is what especially irritates usm. W'e have great defects-oir hot temper and crtielt ivs evvi.
