C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1892. _New Serles tcl. Xii. Ifo. 17. Letter From Geo. W. Murray. Mr. Editor: I notice that in referring to my speech of the preceding Saturday, in an edi torial of the 9th instant, yon placed some severe and UBderservir.g strictures upon me, but, I feel, not with harmful designs. My audience was not only composed of Re publicans and colored men, but i recognized in their midst, during mj entire speech, as respectful and attentive hearers, some of the most intelligent Democrats and honorable white men in the county, which in Those re spects rank with any in the South, and I now put each and every one bf thfm upon his honor to deny the assertion, when I say that no incendiary language was used by me. I on were in the habit of writing such diatribes and prejudicial editorials, both I and the public would know how to judge you, but when you roe.ke auch a departure from jour astin] cairn, dispassionatr and judicious course, I would be doing the public great in justice nnd myself much harm to let it pass unnoticed and the impression remain upon the minds of those who know me so differ ently. But I feel very grateful to yon for leaving room for doubt, by refusing to father the per nicious charge. I suppose the charge was made by some one, who caught only a part o my remarks wheo I was quoting the reasons given bj some Northern capitalists why they will not invest io the South, which is, that Southern ers go around genning at night for darkies and the day of retribution is near at band when they will rise with a rifle in one hand and a torch in the other and lay our land in ashes and blood, and that investments ate not secure in euch a land. I have never bid to say whatever I had to saj in public, but always welcome and re joice to see my white fellow-citizens at every gathering where I am to speak. Living together, related and constituted as the white and colored population of the Sooth is, on account of traditional and acquired prejudices, each has much to bear in dealings and connections with the other and none but fools and fit subjects for the gallows on either side, would fan toto life dangerous prejudices and passions, or invite the eruption instead of destroying its magnitude, of the seething and angry volcano that without mutual mod eration and deliberation is bound to burst through the thin vista of time with wbich.it is covered, Notwithstanding the hue of my skin, I am a South Carolinian to the manner born, and will yield to none of her other sons regard less of color or condition, in love, de votion, and ardent wishes to see her outstrip every other State of this Union in everything that is honorable, pro gressive, grand and eoobliog in the race of life. I trust that never shall be regarded the blinded and idiotic Sampson who would at tempt to tear away ber pillars to be destroyed in the fall and ruin of ber proud and magni ficent structure. It is true that I desire to represent that por tion of the state in Congress to which I have been elected, included within the confines ot the 7th District and bargained off to my race without its conFen:, in all of its present and prospective glory and not iu its ruins. I am faithfully yours, GKO. W. MURRAY. A. C. L. Notes. Capt. Jno. F. Divine, General Superinten dent, Capt. B. R. Dunn, Engineer of Road way. Mr. M. -W. Divine, Assistant Engineer of.

Wedgefield Items Mr. Editor: Having not seen any dots from our "little city" in some time the writ er will endeavor to contribute a few items, which we trust, will be read with interest by some of your many subscribers. Quite a number nf our citizens attended the grand Democratic rally in your City on the night of the 14th instant, and enjoyed tbe occasion greatly spite in of the extreme in clemency of the weather. Such grand, true and loyal gentlemen, invited to speak on the occasion, are held io the highest etjtee and admiration by the people of our country, and will never fail to receive a hearty welcfme at the hands of the "Game Cocks." The high school at this place is io a very flourishing condition. Miss Lucy Singleton, an accomplished daughter of our townsroau, Mr. Richard Sin gleton, bas been elected to the Primary De partment, and will aid the principa!, Mirv M. J. Green, during the entire session. We note wtth pleasure every increased interest- in educational work. For of all tbe subj**U now claiming and demanding the attention1 of our people that of education is far the most important-and since it is upon education that every successful business, agricultural and professional, is based, and upon which every prosperous and permanent government must bc established, we hope the cause will receiv every attention at the hands of all in every section. A most enjoyable evening was spent at tbs residence of Mr. Jno. C. Singleton on Fri- | d*y tofft. The programme consisted of whist playing and dancing, which was participated io by all present. Mr. W. D. Graham, our highly esteemed friend, U still confined to bis room from ihe sprain he unfortunately received not long since. Dr. C-rocker has also been quite indis posed, but is eut again.
