Words of Peace, Clark Howell, Tne Eloquent Georgian, Delivers a Not? able Address. H? Speaks for Peace Progress, Prosperity. Thc annual address before the South Carolina State Press Association was delivered bj HOD. Clark Howell, aod it would not bave been other rh au it wa? -an address to be remembered, one that cannot be forgotton. The address was delivered in the As? sembly Hall of the Graded School, which bad been teodered by the School Board. ID addition to the members of the presa there were a large oumber of the citizens of Sumter. It was an aud? ience that could appreciate the speech and speaker. Mr. Howell began by making a few introductory remarks and then spoke as follows : **l am not unmindful, Mr. chair mau, that I speak to-night to the representa? tives ?T the press of a state which is divided against itself probably to a greater degree than any other state of the union, and from the bitterness of which division has developed a conten? tion which bas permeated every condi? tion of life, and created a fale god of discontent whose merciless decrees have levied tribute aod commanded obeisaoce from every phase of human endeavor. "The public official who has not be some involved is au exception ; the merchant who has not been fired to say or do that which does not comport with the placid and charitable rule of peace, U lonesome in his solitude ; th? farmer who, in piautiog his cotton or his coro, bas no: sown at the same time the seeds of anger may congratulate himself on the evenness of his temper, which makes him a rarity of mankind ; and, if reports which have reached Georgia are correct, the demon of Hate bas even raid his unholy hands on the pulpit, buried itself in tbe ermine of the bench, and, not contented with its malevolent inroads upon the sanctified field of brotherly love, has aimed its blows at the ark of the cooveoaot which en? shrines the heart of woman. It would be most unnatural it, tn this carousal of ill-temper aod bad blood, growing oat of political issues, the press of the state was not affected by the ruling pas? sion to blame somebody for a condition which nobody approves. The 'outs' are condemning the 'ins/ and the 'ins* are retaliating io kind ; households are divided, communities are asunder, and aver and above it all is the black cloud <>f strife and disorder, which, catching i rhe conflicting emotions of fscri<>u* and ! feuds, echoes them back in a dio of tur? moil and a peal of lamentation. "I claim the right to speak plainly to night because I speak as a native. Mia way between Allendale and the Savannah river, in old barnwell, did my eyes first greet the light of life's day, and though my lot has been cast ? the sister state, which stretches hands across the Savannah, [ have ever iee a proud of the state of my birth ?be state which, for generations, has kept my maternal ancestors, nuder whose sod their bones have bleached, in whose name their blood wa? spilled, and on whose sacred altars the life of more than one waa laid at a time when the unity of her people bespoke their loyalty to her flag Not on the ears of a stranger have the grating sounds of discord emanating from here fallen, but 1 father oo those of one who, being more than a sympathizer, bears with aching heart the breaking of the cords of peace and the dissonant murmurs of personal contention. "Fellow South Caroliniaos, look to the glorious past of your great state and ask if it josifies the conditions existing to-day ! 1 shall be strictly impersonal .nd impartial in what I say, for in a representative gathering of distin? guished journalists of the several sides -for I believe there are about six ele meats in the field now-I would not do j violence to the propriety of the occasion j by makiog offeosive alignment : but, ! appealing to all, let me carry you back to Cowpens, and to Camden, and to : Hanging Rock, where, under the in spiration of the intrepid boldness of South Carolina chivalry, Andrew Jack- | son first began bis career as an Ameri eau soldier and pat-iot. Did Pickeos and Sumter and Marion-ail nobie SODS of your noble state-and Lee and i Greene, whose most brilliant service in the revolutionary army was done in the defeose of the homes of your aocestors, against the combined forces of foreign j aggressors and native tories-did these ! heroes write their names io letters of eternal life on the pages of the history of your state, that in the turo of a cen? tury their deeds might bc forgotton aod their examples be lost to posterity ? Just across the way-over io Georgia -six counties bear the names of these six patriots and there they will ever stand as memorials to men whose hero? ism is respleodeut in the shining pages of Carolina's glory, and whose virtues should be ideal types of thc chivaly. the bravery aod tbe prtriotism of Carolina manhood. Go back with nie beyond the period whicL molded these men of , iron and see, if from its earliest days the history of South Carolina was writ? ten to countenance civil contention aud breed the evil results of fratricidal strife. It was Joseph Blake, the bro? ther of the great English admiral, who brought the dissenters to live among these people, that they might worship | as they please ; it was Cardross who brought the Scotch Presbyterians to breathe the free air of this clime, and it I was to South Carolina that the F?**iu' i Huguenots turned, when, wearied HU I disheartened from the religious iutolr ance of a bigoted monarch, they ai swered the revocation of the edi^t. i Nantes by planting their feet uti this so j to live in an atmosphere of peace, an ! warship in the unmolested comfort < ! contentment and sereni'v It was o I this shore, at Georgetown, tnat fne ni j mortal LaFayette first put his feet o j American soil, when he came to dra ! his sword for American freedom, an ! after the lapse of a century, a? if t signify to the world that South Caro , lina was first in the new roll call of pa ! triots. it was her sons who received th j first ^ot at Sumter and her sons wh I first turned from their fields and tb?i j homes to bare their bosoms to the con ! fiict of the war of the confeder*cv. i ? "If the pa9t has its lessons for th I future, let us profit by it ? A? brav as were our ancestors let us be ! Yo every shining star in the firmament o the past glory of your State there an conditions to-day which will make ; counterpart above the t orizon of peace People whose ancestors were once 1er by the peaceful Archdale and wb< went to war under the fearless Craven and again who plucked their decoration.' for valor io the brightest fields of om soldier glory, covering the period from Independence ball to Appomattox-son? of scitms whose courtly politeness and high sense of honor have been tradi? tional for a century-these people will not surrender to the despot of inter? necine strife and humble themselves and t eir past greatness by the contin? uance of an ugly and seemingle.su local agitation which, whether justly so or not, is making Sooth Carolina thc subject of the jeers and ridicule of the continent "To what agency, above all others, should we torn in invoking the restor? ation of harmony and in appealing for such dispassionate consideration of pub lie issues as will enable mee to meet as brothers and bury their differences in the arbitrament of the majority, which i* the trae essence of democracy and the corner stone of republican form of government? Naturally to the press, and it is to you, fellow joornalists - to you, fellow South Carolinians, that I come io this spirit. "To the mao who holds faction above state my words will fall upon un? willing ears, bat to the patriotic press -that to which I am invited to address my remarks, in response to the senti? ment given me by yoor chairman-I approach the subject with confidence that my words will not be misunder? stood, nor my motives misconstrued. "To the factionist I say-*A plague upon both your houses V Yoo have more to live for than the mere triumph of personal ends You hav^ a charge to keep, and you must keep it in a manner that will honor the past and glorify the present. Let the press start the strain and .??og the anthem of peace nntil the populace will take up the choros and echo the melody to the \ farthest corners of the earth. If you ; are as successful at peace as you have been in strife, the world will resound with yoor good deeds, and iostead of outsiders commenting upoo the stereo- i typed and misfit phrase that 'bell's broke loose in South Carolina/ uni? versal praise will be sung that, here in this state, first io so many things, the advance guard of the miileoium has come to keep company with the historic tradition of the first shot on Sumter. "Glorify the state and make peace with the onion ! The war has been over thirty years, and the flag of the union belongs as much to South Caro- : lina as it does to Massachusetts. In? stead of fighting among ourselves let us devote the same energy and make ! practical illustrations of the parable of ; the bundle of fagots, by getting to? gether and fighting the other fellow. "There is a world of meaning in the term, 'the other fellow,' as here used. He is a gaunt, determined, iconoclastic j enemy who cares not for the sacred traditions of the republic, and whose I chief occupation is the destruction of the ideals which prompted ocr fore? fathers to establish a government of: the people and for the people of this country, and not for any other country : This enemy walks like a stalking horse over the hallowed traditions of the past and makes merry music as he shatters the inspired sentiments around which our national glory was built. I refer to that weather-beaten relic of the past who choked the struggling republic in tts infancy, but who himself was choked out of existence as soon as the young nation was big enough to stand alone the tory.

An audience of about 20 peopte at first. gradually increasing to about 75 or lue, towards the end. heard Mr. John Mc M aban ventilate Iiis political views al tlte court house last evening. Prominent among them were Col. J no. P Thomas, Sir., Dr. Edward S. Joynes, Col Willie Jones, Murray Kirkland, J. T Rideout, Judge Mel? ton, Dr. Clayton, Dr Folk, Capt Isaac Means and others. Mr. McMahan announced that the platform on which he stood was that it was ruinous to a white and civi? lized race to be put on an equality with the negro as voters. He be? lieved this, not because of the lack of education and ownership of pro? perty on the part of the negro, but simply because of his racial differ? ence. Whatever the negro may attain in education and property ownershiD, it would be detrimental to our government and civilization to al? low the negro to participate in the government. Mr. McMahan then defined the pur? poses of the existence of the human race as he saw them, and the process of the 'survival of the fittest " He declared self preservation to be the first law of natute. and as applied to the community, patriotism was an? other good form of self preservation, and the highest form of patriotism was the love for race. Such patrio? tism was the highest duty As he conceived it, the disfranchisement of the negro was a duty of the white man-a duty due to the generations to follow. The Anglo-Saxon race, above all races, had shown itself capable of grappling with the prob? lems of government The African, through the countless centuries of ab? solute self control in Africa, had ?bown himself peculiarly incapable of forming any government at all. To give him equal privileges with the white race would be as conducive to the progress of civilization, as to ex? pect a cart horse to be yoked with ari Arabian stud to go as rapidly as tlte Arabian would go alone.- The State May 29.
