At no time siBcelhe political organization of the^Stafe* has~any mau possessed .mee, .if ak much, power over the people, as you have now. What will iki with it"? tYour refutation, will enof on the'use yon make of your opportunity. There are questions of gravest mo m?^b^re ;i yoa, *wiH yon grapple with them. ~ Firsfc *y* \ magnitude is the race question.' What do you propose?

' ^ - Millions have been expended in the ' South, oat of the hart} earnings of a poor people to educate the negro. He has had the ballot. For the first ten years, withoutint?r?erence and et no honest mind can find that the solution is even yet in sight. Have the . condiiions improved:? Are the. young negroes, who nave grown tip since 1865 showing any better quali ties of citizenship, than those older ones .who survive the war ? Have compensatory- results jasti?ecT. the expenditure? If they have-not, shall the same measures be relied on in the fetore, which have failed in the pasfcMf not, what new ones do you propose to inaugurate ? U is respects folly suggested to yon that the present system of education by the State is wrong. That no school which is maintained either in. whole or in part fcy-tfe public treasury should- booth--) ?r than an industrial academy, Wheie every^ pupil must learn some trade or cafiing, by means of whieh to earn a livelihood, by honest labor. Be t?re the war there was an appren ticeship system in'the Statey it no longer exists to any appreciable ex tent. What has taken its place? "Noth ing.But few young meti are learn ing tracSes, and fewer young women are being taught the arts ....of the milliner, mantua maker?cock, washer, nurse-or house help. The education which lias been received bas'tended to unfit the- poorer classes for the labors of the ?eki or; menni? offices: Yet no place efaa interme diate character has been found for the partly- located .youth of either sex." HenWdcinoralization; the'in evitable result of idleness. The World over the* price of. un skilled labor is ti?e mere cost oi maintaining life. Skilled labor is- in ^'"demand everywhere. What consti tutes, the. diff?rence? Education ot the right, so^ not that which is de rived solely fivm ifcofcs,?but thai ; which i?? obtained by a proper system of industrial training. The demand Jot skillful house servants of both sexes is unlimited and its rcwatds * are.oiu^'fw?pord?ned to the wealth of the community in which it is em ployed. Color is not a disqualifica tion anywhere to such 'service, but skill and . efficiency are demanded. In ?fl the ciricV ofthe growing West", the demand for skilled household la bor is_ great and increasing. In the <ity of San^pLwz?sco?t he wages of a good* coojk^. house ? inaiti or. nurse axenot less gan $30.00 ; per month snd oftejimpre, .while a skillful needle woman "obYains^ $3,00 per day and her less adroit assistant gets $2,00 per day of ten hours and both" are led. A man who is a competent" hostler gets $50,00 per month and a wnitmgman^or ga'rdener will obtain $3 ,< ) to $40,00. The wages of .ac complished .farm Bands' vary from $30,O0.tb $ou\00 per month and $1,25 per day is as low as any can be lined at, all of these are found, that is, sup sported. |t mast be borne in rojnd that this is all skilled labor. There's but lit tle-demand' lor ; that which is ua t aught. The agricultural help must understand ,hi.s duties and perform them with intelligence or he wili not be wanted- ; if employed on a fruit farm he must know how to prune and trica trees : How to gather and cure fruit ! How to pack and ship it and if employed m a grain farm, he must know the usepfagncultural machin ery and be able to keep his tools in order, generally siso he uiust under staud the elements of chemistry and the use of steam. All these and inany other openings arc before, the cotoreo^^isbyie of th? South, if they were trained to the performance of such duties. The Government o? the United States will need a large num ber of able men to equip and man the new navy when completed. The sons of the men who now. conduct the fisheries at the South, would make both sailors and mariners. In the great iron (ou flries of the country, ?n tlie gigantic work shops of the West?able bodied andskilled artisans can always find employment. The predjodice whicji exists against color, is in no way equal to thnt which despises ignorance squalor and filth, . In the growing city ot Port: jand, Oregon th? waiters at the finest hotel, are all black, but they are competent in their business and none other could find employment. Industrial school^ if properly con ducted would-t?ke the place "of the apprenticeship system. In time thif would become self supporting. The skilled workmen and workwomen of the colored race would find em ployment all over the Union and this would eventually go far towards set ting the race question. Will yon see to it, that thefanners are not charged too much freight on the Railroads poo the vast amount of Fertijizetr which they consume and which constitute the best busi ness whieh the Kail roads have in the spring andiate winter, after the bulk of the cotton erop has been moved and before the naval stqrcs are ready far shipment. Nothing should be charged less freight than Fertilizers?not only from the magnitude ot the business, but al so because?they make other freights for the Railroads to transport. Are they carried now at as low rates as salt or slacked lime ? Will your Railroad Commission look t? this?'Will you separate the sessions of the civil from these of the criminal courts so that the farmer may not have to danc? attendance on courts, which are unable1 to reach his cause, oy reason] of the uncertainty which attends the criminal sessions ? If you should look to these matters and to others which are equally important, you will have the thanks of a grate ful people. M. IT COULD NOT BE HELPED. The Result of the Late State Campaign. some reflections and interroga tories by mr. e. w? dabbs, of mayesville. To the Editor of the News and Courier.: In my letter of October 30, published in the News and Courier of Novpmt>er 3,- the types made me say the census of 1890," when I wrote the census of 1900, ia referring to the projK)rtion of colored and white people who can neither read nor write. I would have made this correction at once, but wanted to reply to some of the politely sarcastic criticisms with which you refuted (?) my arguments to the entire satisfaction of yourself and 95 per cent (?) of the white peo ple of the State. I will do so by asking a few ques tions which, 1 have no doubt, you can answer satisfactorily to yourself and the aforesaid 95 per cent of the white people: Js it not against the interest of the white people for Republicans to be elect ed to Congress? Does not the negro usnally vote lor a Republican for Congress ? Does he 'hazard the friendliness of his employer' by so voting? If he does, is not there a hazardous state of afiairs m the 7th district? Why was it dangerous to vote against Tillman. where the employer voteti for Ha skell ? 'In regard to those of the race who have become educate*! and independent, they should remember . that they have made such progress under the pro tecting care of the Democratic party, and under that beneficent, white rule wdiich they are now asked 'to subvert ami set aside.' Di.i not the.-wnoie campaign hinge upon the above proposition ? Was it not the sworn purpose of Cap?. Till man and Ids party *to subvert and set a^de* all 'that beneficent white rule' which the Democratic party gave the State for the last fourteen years ? Did that 95 per cent of the white vote materialize at the polls ? or did it not turn out to be only about -45 per cent of4, said white vote which 'erectedCa j>t. Tillman - Governor ? These and many more questions, Mr. Editor, upon which most of your rea ders :k \ give 'yon'credit for know ing' more about than I do, it will be interesting to have answered. In conclusion, let me say if the vote did not turn out as I thought it would it was not because my argu ment was at .faclv but because the party lash, ?which not only kept the negroes from voting for Haskell, but made thousands of white men swallow Tillman, bitter pill though it was. And I venture to assert that never again will a party, claiming to be the majority of the Democratic party, force upon the minority as objection able candidate* as was done this year. There will have to bo something besides the party lash to whip Demo crats into line ; there vili have to be a clean record, fair dealing, and -honest intentions to maintain , the unity of the party. And if the fac tion now in power wishes to continue in, not only will it have to giv? a .clean and honest administration of the State Government, but it will have to raise the price of cotton to twenty-five cents per pound, and lower the price of fertilizers to ten dollars per ton and make the negroes pick out the cotton crop as fast as it opens at"forty cents jicr hundred, (for it is well known that the Tillmanites do not like to pick cotton and hate to pay to have it done,) or 95 per cent of them will follow anybody who can promise these things, and abuse the party in power ; the other 5 per cent of them will be in the offices. E. W. Dabbs. Mayesville, & C, November 13. Another Railroad Project. the atlantic coast line to build a branch to augusta?preparing to survey the route. A prominent railroad man was in the city last night and he gave som?? information showing that another powerful railroad line is to cut across South Carolina in her richest part. The gentleman said that for some time the Atlantic Coast had been contem plating building a branch line running from Sumter direct across the richest portion of the State to Augusta, Ga. Now it seems that the proposed line is to be built and a direct line to Augusta by one of the fastest roads in the South is to be established. The gentleman stated that the road would go from Su in ter, across the Santee direct to Aikcn, thus affording a quick connection with the North o? our principal winter resort, which now lias to be reached in a round about way. From Aikcn it will go direct to Augusta, and give that city a shorter connection with the North than it now has. He said he had met a corps of engineers on his way to Columbia who were going to the Santee, there to begin their survey ol the route. They said they would be gin surveying this week and work towards Aiken by the shortest route practicable without regard to the heavy grading. This certainly looks like the authorities mean business, and if the project is carried out, the scream of the locomotive will, in the near future, be heard in a portion ol South Carolina hitherto almost with out railroad connections. --.?

Stanley. Now that Heory Stanley, isso promi nently before the eyes of the World, it may not be amis, to give to our readers, a slight sketch of his life. Henry Morton Stanley was born in the year 1840, io Denbigh, Wales, his real name being John. Rowland. His parents,, from stress of poverty, beicg unable to provide for their child, the parish authorities placed him io the alms-house, where he was reared,.aod received such education as that institu tion afforded, which must have bee o tolerably fair, as from there he stepped into the position of school teacher at Moid io Flintshire. At the end of a year he resigned this .place to seek his fortune; and embarked for'New Orleans as cabin boy on a ship. In this city he had the good fortune to be employed by a gentleman of the name of Stanley who was so attracted by the qualities of this young man, that he adopted him as his sod, bestowing upon him, bis own name. About this time Stan ley travelled in the Sooth west, and was thrown iu contact with the Indians. His experience with this race was not an- inapt preparation for bis future dealings with savages of a lower type. His adopted father died while he was still quite young, leaving no will, so that Stanley was again thrown upon his own resources. He fought in the late war both with the army and navy, writing during this time, able and stirring letters to the New York Herald. After the war was over he sailed for Orete, to lend bis aid to the inhabi tants of that island, io throwing off the Turkish yoke, still writing articles for the Herald. He returned to the United States in 1867, to receive the warmest of welcomes. Soon after this, England sent an expedition against the King of Abyssinia which Stanley, the great war correspondent, joined as cor respondent for the Herald. We next hear of him in Spain, giving graphic ports of the civil war in progress in that coon try. From there, he was summoned by Bennet to Paris. He obeyed the summons promptly, and when in presence of his chief, Bennet, who knew his man said laconically **I want you to go and find Liviug stone " This great explorer had not been heard from for ?'.vo years. Stanley with a full appreciation of that all this meant, privation, exposure, peril, hardship of a stupendous character, did not wince, nay did not pause for a moment, but with ready promptitude accepted a task that might well have appalled the stoutest heart, and wi h amazing rapidity made his preparations and was off on this fearful quest After nine months of incredible hardship aod toil Stanley found Livingstone in the heart of Africa on the shores of Lake Taganyika. There we pause for a moment?Livingstone found?If ever an undertaking seemed hopeless, surely did tbis, and only to a man whose marked characteristic was to overcome the seemingly impossible, could such a triumph have been given Stanley in his turn becomes the ex plorer, then the hero. Let bis book tell the story. "His struggles with relentless and savage nature, and still more savage peoples ; of conflicts with obstinate carriers ; of discontent among officers and men of the expedi tion ; of forced marches amid tor rents of rain, and through swamps full of miasma, of fightings with the in evitable fever and other diseases ; of sleepless nights and wearisome days ; of heroic battles and triomphe, over unseen and unexpected dangers and difficulties Yet his unconquerable will, energy aod courage., brought order out'of confusion, victory from the jaws of defeat/* and he stands before the world to-day, one of the worlds heroes.
