THE COLOR LINE IN YORK.

On account of the peculiar circumstances
in which the people of the Southern States,
and especially South Carolina, are placed
and the avidity with which demagogical
politicians, for the basest motives, seize upon
difficulties occurring between whites and
blacks as showing the oppression of the latter,
the recent homicide on Allison creek is to be
regretted, if for no other reason. The two
races in York county are moving together
harmoniously and amicably. This occurrence
is only one of those sudden and unexpected
tragedies likely to arise in any community,
North or South, and had both parties been Of
the same color, it would have attracted but
little attention outside tho county in which
it happened. To prevent any misapprehen'
sion as to the situation in this county, we print
from the record plain, unvaruished account
of the affair, and would add that neither poll.
tics nor question of race can be, in the reno.
test degree, connected with it. Mr.. Wood is
a quiet, sober citizen and industrious farmer,
and it is perhaps not going too far to say that
had his antagonist been white man the re-
suit would have been the same ; or had he
known the true condition of the man he was
dealing with, the affair would Hot have had
its tragic ending.

An Erratie Lawyer. aa.la 7r3a
- Many persons in York county will re-
member Col. E. F. Stokes, of Greenville,
who, some years ago, was candidate for Con-
gress in this district. His actions then were
eccentric, since which time be has become
more erratic. A Greenville correspondent Of
the Ne,rs and Courier thus relates his latest
performances: ~.. ~ @S
COL E. F. Stokes, the erratic lawyer who
has figured in SO many ways before the pub
lie, is now playing in new role. Precisely
every day at II be offers up prayers before
the old Courthouse. All whom he regards as
wrong-doers are the objects of special suppli-
cation. Tilden and himself, he alleges, are
the two most wronged men in the Democratic
party. Their grievances form part Of each
days discourse after prayers are over. Late.
ly he has been praying for the city council,
and giving them advice as to the proper mode
of managing their finances. 1t seems that
about $1,000 is missing from the treasury.
Yesterday Stokes took this as his text, and in
the course Of his remarks asked some ques.
tions which the public would like to have an
swered: l. Who got the money 2. Where's
the finance committee? 8. Why were the
facts kept from the public 80 long? = ..-'
Stokes regard himself as called to the work
of reform, and speaks in plain language Of
all the mishaps in the community. Some
time since the city authorities put him in the
guardhouse on the ground that his plain talk,
&c., was nuisance. As soon as Stokes was
liberated he ascended the Courthouse steps
and blazed away worse than before. Since
then the council have wisely let him alone

BLACKS STATION, s. c., July 8, 1878.
We have had refreshing showers for sever.
al days past-not having suffered from
drought-and garden and field crops are look.
ing very we'll in this section.
There is now some improvement going on
in our town, in the way of building. Messrs
Biggerstaf & DePriest are enlarging and re.
modelling their store room, and Mrs. Mary
McMekin is building new residence on the
same street. Others will soon follow.
A joint quarterly conference of the York
and Blacks Station circuits was held at this
place on Saturday last. in the M. E. Church,
Dr. E. J. Meynardie, Presiding Elder of this
district, preached the morning sermon, after
which recess was taken until O'Clock, p,
m, when the conference reassembled with DR.,
Meynardie in the chair. The proceedings in
the transaction of the business of the church
were full of interest. At II o'clock on Sun.
day, DR.. Meynardie preached to large con-
gregation, after which the Sacrament of the
Lords Supper was administered.
In the afternoon, Dr.. Meynsrdie addressed
Sunday school mass meeting. A procession
of the different schools formed at the Baptist
church, and moved in line to the Methodist
church, where the address was delivered
first to the little ones, and then to the older
ones. The speaker showed the necessity Of
and the good resulting from the older as well
as the younger persons attending Sunday
schools. 1t was observed that Abraham
Hardin, Esq, gentleman in his ninetieth
year, stood in review as the long line passed
him, speaking words of encouragement to the
scholars. Another notable incident was thai
of two little boys-Sammy Deal and Eddy
Guntharpe, aged each about b years-whc

THE PEOPLE AND THE PAPERS.

Inc position OF MT. OIepneuS, VI OeolSid,
on the Potter resolution and reopening Of
the question of Mr.. Hayes title, is we'll
known. He opposed the measure from its
inception, and after the resolution was adopt
ed went so far as to write letter to one of
his constituents stigmatizing the action of the
House as step towards Mexicanizing the
Government. A few "leading' politicians
so termed on account of the noise they are
capable of making-and nearly all the news,
papers in Georgia, were loud in their de-
nunciations of Mr.. Stephens, and from the
day he cast his vote against the resolution
we're persistent in their efforts to turn the tide
of popular favor against him and defeat his
nomination by the Congressional Convention.
But notwithstanding the clamor raised against
Mr.. Stephens, he is likely to prove the choice
of the people of his District, not only for
nomination, but also by an overwhelming
election. The County Convention Of Rich
mond, held in Augusta last Saturday, passed
resolutions endorsing Mr.. Stephens course in
Congress, and appointed delegates to the Con-
gressional Convention who will support him
for renomination Three other counties of the
district-all that have yet spoken-have like
wise passed resolutions endorsing and sup
porting Mr.. Stephens for reelection.
TINS action of the people proves concu.
svely two things. First, that they look up
! A. bo fao
appointed under it as entirely unnecessary at
the late day of adoption-long after the
quiet Inauguration of Mr.. Hayes and the de-
velopment of his policy of Cancellation of the
country and fair treatment of the Southern
States. And secondly, that newspapers, how
ever much ability they may display, and
whatever may be their supposed influence
over community, cannot in the present day,
mould public opinion and lead the people
simply according to editorial behest and die
tation. An editor may entertain his own
opinions on any question, and if he is of ego
tistical and arrogant procliVity, may thrust
them by the column upon his readers; but
after all they are but the opinions of an indi,
vdual, and are only received as such by the
people.
REDMOND, THE OUTLAW.
Mr.. Mckinley, of the Ne0s and Courier
staff, was detailed, several days ago, "to find
Redmond which, after persistent effort he
succeeded in doing, and he has written several
columns as the result of his interviews, in the
heart of the Blue Ridge, with the noted block
ader and so~caled "out-law." Mr.. Mckinley
is known to be truthful and accurate CORES
pondent, and in the details of his interviews
with Redmond, heightened only sufficiently tc
spice the narrative, the inevitable conclusion
must be that Redmond is more siuned against
than SHINING, and that so far as relates to the
stories of the violations Of the revenue laws
and the capture" of illicit distillers, as here
torfore reported by the revenue officials, only
one side of the story has been told

HOUSE PAINTING.

As will be seen by his advertisement in an
other column, Nelson Davies has resumed his
profession of house painter, and solicits the
patronage of those who would bsautify as
we'll as render more durable their buildings.
Of Nelson's skill as painter, it is useless to
speak in this community, where there are
many specimens of his work; but to those
unacquainted with the facts, we would say
that he executes the ornamental branches Of
house painting g-such as graiuing, marbling,
paper.hapgng. &c.-in a style that cannot
be excelled by any painter, whether in town
or city. "
