CAPERS AND DBAS. The Leading Colored Newspaper Thinks That the Duke of Darlington Got the Better of His Brother in White. [New Yoik Age.] Capt. John G. Capers, the na tional Republican committeeman for South Carolina, is having all the trouble which a man in his position could desire. The Hon Edmund H. Deas, the "Duke of Darlington," has no faith whatever in the sort of death-flop into the Republican party which Capt. Capers made in his re. cent address at Orangeburg, and still regards him as an alien and di turber in the Republican household of South Carolina. Capt. Capers has just been facing a searching examination into his of - fensivo partisanship, and other of. fenrive conduct., by a representative of the civil service commission, on charges preferred by Mr. Deas. The two men have also been paying each other some very hot compliments through the columns of the Charles. ton News and Courier, and we are bound to say that Mr. Deas has the better of the war of words. The lie has not as yet passed between the two men, but that which resem bles it has. The Washington correspondent of the Charleston News and Courier says that John 0. Capers, national c mmii teeman and district attorney, and Micah Jenkius, collector of in to+rntl revettne, both Democrats of Sotut h Carolinat, called on the presi lOut rec e'ntly about the charges pre. ferreud against, them by State Chair. milan I )t"ats, and which an agent of the civil service commission has in vtst igattul. The correspondent says furthier: "Dl)ets aid his friends have furtishid the president with all the details of the investigation. The prosidotet has every confidenco in MAossrs. Capers and oenkins, and he is not. opt to b seriously disturbed by anything Deas may say or do." As we unders(anid the attitude of the President, who was oncWe a civil service conmissioner himself, he has ''every confidece' in no violator of the law, and whether he will he dis turbed by what Doas "mtay say or do" will depend upon the report of the civil service commission, based upon the findings of its own agent, when the matter shall be submitted to him for review and disposition. If Capers and Jenkins have violated the civil service law, as Mr. Deas charged that. they had, and1 if the civil ser vice commliission sustains Mr. Dens's content ion, will not this disturb the President's comnposulre? We shall soe. We understand, iln part, why the President should be interested and have confhid~ence iln M icah Jenkins, although he bie an unlrop)ent.ant Doem. ocrat, for lie wits a itough Rider and thte P roeiden. apjpointed1 himi internal reveniuc collector for South Carolhna as a personal tatier; b)ut wvhy shioul d the PresidIent he interestedh and haive lont idlence ini Joh 011(. Capers, a D)emnocrat, its disturber in the R{epub lican party of Sout hi Carolina, and a persistent violator of the rnles of tihe depa)irt mont of just ice and1( the civil se no law Y We believe t hat the Washaigtoni correspondlent of the News and1( Courier has drawn too far upon01 his imaiuginat ion in this matter. And the Repuiblicans of South Carolina shouldh be allowed to have a nattiounal ooimft.teemon of t.heir own selection wvhom they can respect and in whom thley' can have confidence. Dloes lie Realize ils Fate? |Atlanta Journal, 20th.] excitemjent was caunsedl on the morn ing train on thbe WVest Point route. WVhile Conductor ~John Harris was titking ump tickets a passenger arose a[nd comtiplainedl that. a trainman staninIg at. the steps of thme car in Atlanta had talked to him very roughly. The condhuctor replied that it was the duty of tihe trainman to ask overy passenger politely before getting on the train .his dlestinatioD. With great gusto the passenger repliedl: "Perhaps you don't know you are talking to Senator Tiliman of South Carolina." It was afterwards learned from the flagman that in reply to the question, "Where are you going? the senator replied: "I do not know where I am going. I might b"' going to hell." The senator wab then requested to show his tieket before getting on the car. He left the train at LaGrange. THE SOUTH BEFORB THE WAR.. A Large Proportion of Its People Not Idle, But Engaged in Many Pursuits. I Norfolk (Va.) Landmark.] "Life in the Old Smith" is it t'ue paper contributed by the Rev. J. M. Hawley to the September October number of Things and Thoughts, a bi monthly magazine of merit published at Winchester, Va. Mr. Hawleys contribution deserves speo'al attention because it refutes the oft heard charge that the ante bellum South was a nation whose citizens, as a whole, posed in grace ful idleness and let the slave do all work. People of the present day, even in the South, (perhaps,) have .sme to think that in the years be. fore the great struggle between the sections the white men of the North did more work, man for man, than the white men of the South. The overdoing of the theory that the south was settled by the Cavaliers and the North by the Puritans has, by simple association of terms, had a great deal to do with the deponing of this impression. We consider the following extracts from the Rev. Mr. Hawley's article to be a valuable contribution to American history: "There were in the South (by the census of 1850) in round numbers, 147,500 persons owning from one to five slaves. If these persons repre sented a family of live persons each on an average-and many Southern families were large.-we have no less than 872,500 persons dependent upon five slaves or less to the family for support, when only two in the five wore capable of profitable work, their own support. to come, at the same time, out of the profits of their own labor. Was a population of 1,745,000 souls over clothed and fed by the labor of only one fifth of their number? "How much Southern men may have been accused of idleness and in dolence, very many of them -slave holders and non slavelold,rs alike were compelled to rely upon their own energy and industry for a liveli hood. To rely upon the labor of the few slaves they owned signified in creasing poverty and embarrassment. "And how were the thousands of families that owned no slaves and yet conprised two thirds of the white population of the South to he sup ported ? Hero again the United States census for 1850 gives us many interesting and significant facts. T1hie [number of white persons engaged in laborious occupations in the South in the year wvas larger in proportion to piopuilat ion than in the North. The11 census gives us the niumber of white persons over 15 years of age engaged in any oc-upation in each State of the Union. The figures are dlecided1 ly to tihe credit of *.he South. "Liet us compare a few Northern with a fewv Sol.t herni States. In Massachusetts the per contage of per. sonis over 15 years of age engaged in work was '45 39; in lihode Island, 410.71; in New Hampshire, 45.05; in Connecticut, 40.46; ill New York, '7.61; ill New .Jersey, 47.2w. Now let us glance at an equal amber of States in the Sonth. In Maryland the per cent age of white persons over 1 5 years of age engaged in work was 51.80; in Virginia, 40 54; in Georgia, 47. 18; in Florida, 53 04; in Mississip pi, 51.28; in Texas, 5408. Thue aver age for all the States in the North was 4792; for those in the South 419.14. But.one SouthernSt ate-Mis souri-fell to an average so low as Massachusgetts. But t wo in the North -Plennsyl vania and Iowa-rose to an average so high as Maryland or Mississi ppi, not one of t hem equaling Florida, Arkanars, or Texas. "The'se facts are dlecisive of the quest ion of industrial conditions in thle South. Wh'atev. r may have been the inifluenent of t he Africon shiadvw of the people south of t-he. Macon and D)ixon line, it did not pr.'dnee men who dispised labor anid lived in idle ness andl luxury. Glo 1o any State of the South and the fact. remains that the average of the white popu. lation living upon the interest of in. vested money and having no occ.upa tioni was considerably smaller than the North."' Conditions in Washington. A Missouri man who went to Wash ington, D. (I , to sell horses, reporte the following condition there: "The people travel on electric cars and do not need roadsters; they ride bicycles and automobiles and do' not need fast trotters; they gamble by wire and do not Deed race horses, and the Gov ernment is run largely by jackass, and here you are.

While the parents were attending church and while playing on the back porch at his home, John F. Green, the one year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Green of West End, Atlanta, was drowned in a bar rel half filled with water Sunday. There were no eye witnesses to the accident, and the exact manner in which it occurred is not known. Mrs. Green, the mother, was attend ing eh1,eoh services at the time. She cariied her infant to church with her, leaving the little boy at home in care of the cook. The lit tle follow began playing about the house and while the attention of the cook was attracted in another direc tion he went out on the back porch. a few minutes later a lady who re sides next door camne over to the Green: home to see Mrs. Green. Not finding her in the house she walked through to the back porch, and there a gruesome sight was revealed. Lying in the half filled barrel was the dead body of the child. The body was quickly taken from the water, but life was extinct, and ef forts at resuscitation were futile.
