1t is said that iu six or eight weeks, Col.
Childs will have his new Saluda Factory in
operation.
Negro Emigration.
We see that the freedmen are removing
from Georgia, going still westward. From
several portions of South Carolina many
have left and are still leaving for Florida
and the farther west Higher wages is the

Break-Bone Fever.
A couple of cases of this fever are said
to have been developed in Columbia, the
parties having both been to Charleston,
where the fever prevails extensively. This
is the fever known as the Dengue. It has
never been here before and will probably
not stay many days now. In Charleston, it
was very mild disease, rarely proving fa-

Negro Schools.
The corps of Northern women-teachers
that operated with so much numerical sue
cess last session, (up to july have returned
and expect to commence operations in a

zed but teachers and rooms aIe ready
The novelty has worn of the thing; and we
fear their numbers of pupils will be less
than last session. But we shall see.
Negroes don't take to books kindly,-It

White and Black.
A week ago white woman was seen
promenading the streets escorted by ne
gro.
The public said very little about it. In
fact we presume the public cared not but
ton about it,
But colored Man writes letter to the
Carozinian about this matter. The G. M.
deems the consorting of whites and blacks
in this style to be an improperly, and an
improperly that deserves public rebuke
He rebukes it accordingly
He says the white woman wore tiltiDg
hoop and a big waterfall and by these
presents be knew she "wasn't one of our
people," The G. NJ. appears to have been
watching things.
He says he "felt disgust for her, but a
good deal more for the" man of his own
color
School marms, says our G. NJ, are vel

dreu, but let them keep their places.
The G. NJ is evidently alarmed for the
integrity of his blood and his race.
Well may he be.
We don't know who was the white wo-
man that walked with the negro, and don't
think it at all important to know. 1t may
be important to some negroes, but not to
the community; and least of oil to the me-
crosses, unless they decide to stop it.
We can we'll understand the indignation
of respectable negro, when his caste is in
vaded by "poor white folks" though they
be women, and though they wear big water
falls and calf.exhibiting tiltareens.
The G NJ is evidently impressed with
the conviction that there are places wherein
these things may be exhibited with more
propriety than upon the public streets. We
venture to commend bis taste.
The Rural southerner.
R NJ. Stokes & Co., have issued their
Volume l, Number l, of their new weekly
candidate for popular favor. The number
is merely a specimen of the style and Varie-
ty in which they propose to issue the South
erner, when they get under way with
all their appliances ready. Ariculture. is
the leading feature in it; and in this de-
partment are several excellent articles, and
many promises of more. The Young Mems
Department is filled with valuable matter
suitable to the class it addresses. The La.
dies OLio follows, full of feminine things,
about household doings, cooking and poetry.
Horticulture comes next, with sound lead
er upon Southern Horticulture and other
items in the same line Educational heads
one brace of columns; and Mechanics an.
other. Then follows pleasant melange
called Miscellany; and lastly, the paper
closes with a page under the caption of
The Story Teller.
Thus there are eight separate and useful
departments, all interesting and all useful
for families. The paper contains eight
pages of four columns each, making thirty
two columns of farm and family reading
each week, for three dollars.
The regular issue of the paper does not
begin with this number; but will start in a
week or two.
We bid it Godspeed, and feel that it will
deserve success ifmanaged on the plan pro.
