people, as you have now. What will

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.

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.

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.

McLean's Sarsaparille. vloct
Henry M. 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.
AU'honor to Henry Morton Stanley.
