There is point where patience
ceased 10 be q write, and The fellow
ing precious piece Of impubcnt men
dacity from the New York Tines is
enough TO provoke saint:
The appeal which We publish this
morning from q number OF wcll-known
citizens for aid in relieving the dis
stress Of destitute colo,cd emigrants
in kansas,,is calculated TO touch the
heart of of every person animated
with . spirit of discriminating bcnev-
olencc' These poor creatures, driven
from genial climate and familiar
occupations by the cruel injustice Of
those who ought to be their best
friends, find themselves in tie midst
of a Northern winter, to whose rigor
they are unaccuslomcd, without
means and with out employment, and
hence dependent on charity to save
them from starvation. They may
have gone into this exodus from the
land of bondage somewhat blindly,
but is was blind cropping for q land
Of promise in which they might enjoy
the rights and opportunities of men,
and ought TO beget sympathy rather
than ccnsurc. No doubt, with the
opc:ing OF spring they will find among
4 generous people the opportunities
which they seek, but in the meantime
.hpy ought not TO be allowed TO suffer.
They have claims upon us such rs no
other people in distress in any part
of the world can possess. The res
ponsc ought to be prompt and libcr-
al. g.
Now, this is exactly what the press
from every part Of the South said
would aprcn TO these unfortunate
bcdcviled colorcI sufferers who have
been cojolcd away from their homes
in the South by avaricous sccundrcls
and partisan villains, who have fol-
lowed up these colorcd people with
false tales, marvellous cuts and every
species Of Establishment which could
be devised to carry these people away
for certain per centagc on their
railroad fare or so much head for
The political cry wllirl WIS 10 be rals-
ed. "Ihcsc poor creatures driven
away from their congenial climate !"
Foul and infamous ralschood Who
has drivcd them away? WHO wants
to do it? Whose interest is subserv-
cd by it but the prowling scoundrcls
who are in the service of their malg-
nant masters, and in The pay of avar-
icious Northern corporations? These
facts have been attcstcd by intclli-
gent colorcd men themselves before
the exodus Investigation, and yet
here is q respectable Northern Jour
nal which deliberately fosters n foul
lie without q shadow Of pre,encc 10
sustain it. What hope is there for
the country, for peace, for any thing
worth living for, whilst such things
are possible, and j. righteous public
Judgment does not hiss them to
scorn? They houudcd us for fifty
long years as slave drivers and tyr
ants until they pushed the mad,lcned
South into terrific war, and now that
they have torn the slaves from their
former masters and prccipitpblc them
into huge political machine for Re-
publican aggrandizcmcnt, they are
unwilling yet to leave us and our
colorcd ncighbors Il shred Of hope,
OF peace, of prosncrity, Of "domeslic
tranquility"

Patriarch OF the Fork.
'ditor OrangcJurg Democrat:

Editor OrangcJury Democrat:
IN the course Of three score years
and ten, have many times read Of
families remarkable for size, weight,
number, &C., and have as often
thought if honor attached to a locali.
ty producing a large family Orange
burg County, South Carolina would
wear the laurels.
Old Mr.. William Smoak, The patri-
arch of the family Of that name, is q
native, of German extraction, born
early in February, 1884, consequent
has just entered his 9th year, and
since 1911 has been a resident OF that
section Of the county between North
and South Edisto rivers familiarly
..nown rs the Fork.
The old man and his wife, the last
of whom died u few years ago, raised
thirteen children, ten now living.
They had first six sons, then two
daughters, teen three sons, and last
two daughters. The eldest is seven
ty.fivc years Of age and the youngest
fifty.
The following is Q statement Of tie
descendants of Mr.. William Smoak
from information obtained through
living heads Of families and through
adults in families whose heads have
died: Children living 10, dead 3;
grandchildren living 10l, dead So !;
great-grandchildrcn living 3o1, dead
CO; great-grcat-grandchildrcm living
20, dead .; making the following to-
tai Of descendants, living 57j, dead
11G; or q grand total Of Col descend
ants.
The mos! remarkable feature Of this
family Cone which think would re-
quirc q search OF both hemisphcrcs to
find 4 paralleD is the fact that both
the old people lived 10 see their
youngest and thirteenth child grand
mother. Who can beat that?
Notwithstanding the old mans
sight and hearing are much impaired,
his general health is good, and he
would be quite smart for one of his
age had it not been for fall he got
. - =
some years ago, which injured one
thigh and hip, from which lie has new
er entirely recovered. lie is a great
tallier, and has q most vivid rccollec-
ton Of events which transpired in his
boyhood and early manhood.
He was much Of Nimrod in
time, and relates with the greatest
minutcness incidents Of his deer and
wolf hunts. Many I stately buck and
ravenous wolf succumbed to his dead.
ly aim with that old flint an steel mus
ket that ne would not lay down in ex-
change for an amateur sportsman's
hundred dollar double barrel. The
percussion principle was ut that time
latent in the brain of the inventor,
but the Old man did feel the need OF
improved fire arms, for when he drew
the trigger of that old musket on
game there was sure to be "meat in
the pot" He killed the last wolves
that were known to be in this part of
the country.
We entertain q fervent hope that
the old man may live to be ccnten-
arian, Gf the writer is alive) there
will be proposition for a grand pic
mic and reunion. A circle with a Iii.
ameter Of fifteen miles would inclosc
four-tifths Of the family.
The writer has known this family
sixty years as hard working, indus
trious people, and not drunkard
among them. Who can beat that?
