A Georgian has discover! a blue!
rose. Here in South Carolina i
black Kose is nothing new. \Y<
have black Lilies and an occasiona
black Snowdrop.?The State.
The black rose referred to Ly our
contemporary is probably the "negrose,"
though we do not quite set
why the "rose" should be capital
I6CU.
Some of the champions and de
feuders of the Ogden movement
have stressed the fact that tht
Southern Conference for Education
is composed largely of representative
Southern men. One distinguished
Southern educator whc
is included in the membership, il
we mistake not,, is Booker T Washington;
yet we saw no mention ol
his name in the list attending the
. recent "conference'' in Columbia.
With all the complaints that
have been made about the public
roads we believe, from what we have
seen of them, that they are now in
better condition generally than ever
before within our recollection. Theie
has been a great deal of rain lately
and mud-holes and wash-outs are
the natural consequence, but everywhere
^ve have been evidence of im^^/-provement
is apparent; and with the
limited amount cf money at their
disposal Supervisor Graham and the
commissioners are deserving of com.J
mendation for the good woi k that
has been done. It should be borne
in mind that Williamsburg is a very

roads at the same time is an imj>ossibility.
The reeent pilgrimage of tlie 0gden
party to this State lias caused
consideiahle discussion among
our exchanges as to the aim and
purpose of the organization. Just
what this aggregation of erudite
philanthropists has in view has
never been clearly explained to the
unitiated. Hoping to be enlightened
we read .carefully Mr Ogden's
address before the so-called "Conference
for Education," but that
astute gentleman appeared to be occupied
in telling what the Ogdeutes
were not going to do rather than
what they intend doing. Couched
in choicest rhetoric and replete with
high-sounding phraseology, iiis ad''1

One Cold ana MM\
The season's first cold
may be slight?may yield
f.o early treatment, but the
r txt cold will hang on
longer; it will be more
troublesome, too. U n necessary
to take chances
on that second one. Scott's
Emulsion is a nreventive
as well as a cure. Take
SCOTT'S EPLSlOJi
when colds abound and
you'll have no cold. Take it
when thj cold is contracted
and it checks inflammation,
heals the membranes
of the throat and lungs
and drives^he cold out.

The Eutawville Case.
The five white men charged with
murdering a negro. Keitt Bookard,
taking him <<ut of the guard house
at Eutawville, where he had been ;' |
confined on a trivial charge, and
I throwing him into the river, were jj
tried in Orangeburg last week and
I admitted by tin* jury after fifteen !/
' minutes consideration of the case. "
; The crime was a cruel, cowardly
,1 one ami strong evidence was ad- j
" dneed against the defendants, one
ij
- <?f whom had turned State s-evidenee. n
., The verdict of the Orangeburg jury Q
i* not surprising. Several years
ago, if we remember aright, in this
i1 same county suit was brought for ^
d a m a g e s o n a e c o u n t of
11 the ly lu lling of a negro who
j was found hanging to a telegraph
f
. pole with his hands tied behind Ins.
I back and his hodv riddled with hul*
\ lets. Two or three times the oase.i
t was brought lo trial and each time
* the jury found a verdict for the de-jl
1 fendant, on the ground that the 11%;
gru had committed suicide! V
If there ever be circumstances ^
. when mob violence niav be condoned
they did not obtain in the Eutawville
case, and as long as the perpetrators
of such deeds escape un.
whint of iustiee. iust so lone will

and sooner or later a due of reckoning

A Bicycle Conundrum.
From Puck.
"Why's ?i bike like a woman?" The
merry idiot cried."
"Because it is so hard to learn,"
The jilted niau replied. T
J "Because sometimes it's very fast," 1
The cynic murmured low; i I
| "Because" the critic rash declared, |
"It's always on the go." ,
"Because it runs right throngh m
the dust" H
A husband sadly vowed;
! "Oh, because it's facinating!"
The bloomer girl allowed.
Then loud laughed the merry idiot, T"
"My reason crowns the cup! I
Because it very often needs L
A right good blowing up" *
