The extraordinary exodus of negroes
from South Carolina has frighte4ed the
landowners and employers of that state.
"A disastrous scarcity of labor is. threat
ened If the exodus continues awhile
longer, at the present rate, there will
not be enough laborers left TO take care
of the crops, and the loss thus entailed
will be something Important. Re
garding the extent of the exodus, an
Edgefield correspondent of the Charles
ton News and Courier says that s~about
one-fifth of the entire negro population
of the county, or more than five thous-
and persons, have gone, and the fever is
still spreading" And he further says
that "entire settlements have been de-
populated, and that roads leading out of
South Carolina resound with the shut
fling tread of the picturesque and motley
caravan" so far there seems to be no
abatement of ii, and the same reports
are likely to come soon fiom all other
parts of the state The majority of the
fleeing negroes are supposed to have Ar.
kansas in view. as their objective point.
The future progress of the exodus and
its result will be closely watched, and
will be an interesting subject for refec-

The Boston Journal gave way to q
little mild indignation the other day In
the following paragraph; "Clara
Louise Kellogg sang about 81 900 worth
ca the inmates of the Nebraska peniten-
tiary the other day, and asked nothing
for it. A man who bad never stolen
anything or made love to another man's
horse would have to pay 90 to hear her.
About the only man who gets left nova
days, and has to pay big price for all
the fun he has, is the honest respectable
citizen" There is some truth in This
conclusion, and, though the tone is not
quite SO philosophical as people have q
right to expect in Boston newspaper
it was entirely unnecessary for the
Omaha Bee to retort as follows; I'VE
have no doubt that If the editor Of the
Boston Journal had been in NebTaka, ht
would have been placed in position
