Thc Fate of the Negro.

In contemplating the present an d
past conditions of the negro and his
future fate, nothing is more striking
than the fact that the race seems to
have always been the mere plaything
of circumstances. He has never
shown the capacity to carve out his
own positic among peoples as other
races have done, but has always been
dependent upon the superior intelli-
gence, courage and determination of
the other races to assign him q place
in the social and political scale of the
world. If, at times, individuals of
the race have ventured upon ambi-
tious views, their efforts have only
succeeded in giving them Temporal
ry elevation, where they became OBJ
jects of attention only as the monkey
when he climbs pole.
There has never been an instance
of negro's permanently occupying
a position in the scale of humanity
above the usual grade of his race and
enabling his posterity to occupy it
after him. It is not necessary to ac-
count for his incompetency in this
and other like respects as do the radi-
cal doctrines of Helper and "Ariel,"
by denying that he is at all part of
the human race, but only beast of
superior instinct. Yet no one who
knows him can doubt his absolute
and essential inequality to the white
race. Nor to the white race only is
he inferior. Whenever he has been
brought in contact with any other
race, his inferi ority has been mani
tested.
We claim that the white race is
vastly superior in every respect to
the Indian, and the history of Ame-
RIGA teaches no fact more clearly. His
disappearance before the advance of
the white race and its civilization,
affords us the nnanswerable logic of
events to prove it, and there can, in
deed, be no doubt of the fact even
by the Indians themselves. And yet
the Indian has always made slave
of the negro whenever the two races
came i'll contact. 1t is alleged that
some of the Indians of Florida to
this day hold negro slaves.
This inferiority has been thus clear
ly manifest in the less exacting rela-
tions of society, and it has been still
more striking in political relations,
which afford, after all, the true test
OF the power OF race. No nation
has ever been conquered by the ne
gro, and no nation of negroes has
ever been recognized as one of the
powers Of the earth. All these things
prove the incapacity Of the negro as
ruler. He has never been capable
of sclf-government, and the attempt
TO make him o ruler over another
race in the South can never succeed,
as matter Of course. No one knows
this better than those who have been
most active in advocating the expert
ment, but none will suffer by it more
severely than the negro himself. 1t
is one of the meanest of tho many
crimes OF the radicals that they have
thus used the negro to his own injury,
only to promote their own selfish
purposes of party aggrandizement.
The radical advocacy of negro suf-
frage in the South, along with its
train of other enormities, is has ed
solely upon the assumed impossible
ty Of controlling the Southern States
in the interests of their party by any
other process. It was forced upon

General Sickles, in speech recent
ly delivered at Saratoga, said: "The
only state of peace worth securing
was that under which the humblest
Union soldier could build his cabin
in South Carolina, and float the star
ry flag from its roof tree, and wear
himself the old blue coat, when he
went out 10 his tolls. and yet no one
would dare to harm hair of his Iowa,
head" Any respectable Union SOL
dier can at present build his cabin in
South Carolina, and float as many
"starry flags" as he pleases, without
having hair of his ''loyal head"
harmed. But we have no room for
"scalawags" and ''carpet-baggers."

THE LIVERPOOL CoTTON BROKERS
ON THE QUI V1vE.-The press agent
in England has thought proper to
inform us Americans, in brief tele-
gram, that the yield of the cotton
crop in Egypt this season is reported
to be enormous" No facts of de-
tails are given, and the statement is
made simply on the reports said to
be contained in q letter or letters.
This is very vague and looks very
much as if the telegram had been in
spired by the Liverpool cotton brok-
ers and manufacturers of England,
to knock down the price of American
cotton. Admitting even that there
is an unusually large yield in Egypt
this year, it ought to make no differ
ence in the market value Of our pro-
duct. The Egyptian cotton is o poor
short staple and dirty article, and
cannot rival our beautiful and clean
long staple cotton. We have only
about half O crop, compared with
what was raised in the most produc-
tive years before the war, though it
may have as large money value, and
there will be the fullest demand for
it at high rates. We advise our plan
ters and cotton merchants not to be
misled by such statements as the one
referred to.

forgery, and requests it's Democra-

The Bank OF the State.

In 1910, special joint committte
was appointed by the Legislature, to
make thorough examination of the
condition of this bank. This COM
mittee was composed of F. D. Quash,
Chairman, and others on the part of
the Senate, and B. T. Hunt, Chair
man, and others on the part of the
House.
Their investigation was most
thorough and searching, and set
forth the legal as we'll as the financial
status of the bank. On points of
law, the name of B. f. Hunt is a host
in itself.
This report, accepted by the Le-
gislature, become, as it were, the law
of the contract between the State,
the bank and it credits.
We quote from this report an en-
tire paragraph. without further COM
ment:
.'These funds are, by law, vested
in the President and Directors
And the extraordinary security for
the management of the bank, is con-
tanned in these words: 'The faith of
the State is hereby pledge, for the
support of the said bank, and to
supply any deficiency in the funds
specially pledged, and to make good
all losses arising from such de-
fioiency.' Thus, this institution has,
in reality. the whole resources of the
State, as its stay and support. It
cannot fail, in any event, although
the State may suffer. The 10th
clause of the first section, creates the
corporation, SO that all the capital is
vested in q person known to the law,
capable of suing and being sued, and
the capital is thus put beyond the
control of the State, as far as Gre
ditors are concerned; fact worthy of
being noted. The Act of 1918, di-
rected all the moneys to be received
from the United States, to be trans
ferred on account of capital; and
also, the balances in the treasury"

Eaoca1 Ite1aog,

1, TH1EEATRIcAL.--Mr. John Temple
ton, Of the Charleston and Savannah
Theatres, after an absence of some
months, again presented himself be-
fore Columbia audience last even
ing' at Gregg's Hall, supported by o
corps whose performance on that oc-
casion not only reflected great sredit
on his management, but gave rich
promise of m early return of the
halcyon days of the stage, when Ia
dies and gentlemen could attend dra
matte representations without fear of
having their tastes or their sensibili-
ties offended. The play was Maggie
Mitchell's favorite, "The Little Bare
foot" and the principal characters
those of Amrie, Johannes and Rosel,
were admirably sustained by Miss
Alice Vane, Mr.. Templeton and Miss
Isabel Vane. The former, in the
progress of her part, rendered with
great skill the famous solo from
ell Baccio"-and at the earnest
solicitations of some of her admirers
from abroad, who were present, sang
"Constaptinople, amusical trochure.
so to speak, in which, we think, she
is unsurpassable. The lateness of the
hour prevents us from entering into
any criticism Of the performances of
the other participants in the enter
tainment; and we content ourselves
with saying that we were not disap-
pointed in finding that Mr.. Temple
ton more than fulfilled all that he
promised, when he said that he would
offer our citizens "select entertain
ment."
This evening a new and attractive
programme is presented, one feature
of which involves representation of
the doings of the great mis-represen
tatives who have lately vacated Jan
ney's new State House. We cannot
doubt that it will be greeted by a.
large and appreciative audience.
