Try SOOu. GlVe freedom TO your ne
groes; and do not go to the expense of
building negro houses. Let the negroes
look to their own interests and build

be so liable to be burned down. Hire

die they will bless your memory Your
influence can do something to the bene
fit OF your State. Use it to change the
present ruinous policy, and let us have
letter Government. See to what sort
OF Legislators you have"

have made South Carolina their special field

and while we have him confined in iail others
are doing the work of their masters, prowlinp
through the country dropping as they pass
along in the Post Offices some of their docn
