(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.

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.

"swo, i have fulfilled here a very

absolutely new. It is no lofiger a

They do not. ytt know the mi!for

which the most fortunatto nations
can not escap)e. 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

i the thick of the fight, is a guaran
