The Negro Exodus.

Labor is both high and scarce in South
Carolina and with so many negroes leaving
the State 1t bids fair to become higher and
scatcer. We sec accounts of hundreds leav-
ing the middle counties for Kansrs and the
exodus is increasing constantly. large
numbers are also going to Georgia to work on
Railroads because tho wages are nominally
higher. In fact they are not, for the food
ana clothing they purchase at high prices
more than absorbs the increased prices The
negro is good laborer and we'll adapted to
farming work and with our present scant
white population We cannot eparc them with
out material injury to our prosperity. We

and not well adapted to portions of our State
Immigrants generally 20 Westward not only
because that country is largely settled up by
white immigrants but also because in
many States home is offered to oil white
settlers free Of cost. During eleven months
of the past year over four hundred thousand
immigrants came to this country bringing
with them nine millions Of dollars. OF this
number one hundred and fifty thousand re.

Illinois and thirty six thousand, in Pennsyl-

the introduction Of white labor, even if it
were equally available with colorci labor.

EXPOSE OF spIR1rUA11srIc FRAUDS.

This evening, at the Metropolitan Theater,
Professor Santanelli will give his promised
exposure of frauds practicad in the name of
Spiritualism. He will do the chief tricks on
which Anna Eva Fay bases her claims to be
a medium through whom the ghosts of our
departed kindred communicate with mortals.
These tricks ne will explain and make clear.
He will also explain the Katie King" mys-
terry, the feats OF the Davenport brothers,
the slate writing of the noted Slsde, and the
rappings produced by the original Fox sis
tiers, and make plain the Undertaking. tricks
of such as Mrs. Sawyer, who gulled num-
Der of good citizens in Sacramento last fall.
As remerked the oGher day, the young per
former, judged by private exhibition, given
off hand ard without accessories or stage
aids, viii be able to give a very enjoyable
and entertaining evening in modern magic at
the theater. He ism many respects remark
able young man, and unless there is serious
error of Judgment regarding him, he
will satisfy his auditors in public,
as he did those who saw his per-
Torrance in private. The trouble with all
these things is, that so many people, when
they see how easily and simply trick, APP
parently inexplicable, can be done, and how
it is sh0rn OF its superstitious mystery, are
apt to think that, after all, the person who
has brought the supernatural down to the
realm of the probable and reasonable has not
done so very wonderful thing. Yet an i'm
poster, like Anna Eva Fay, doing the came
tricks, and less skillfully than Ssntanelli will
draw crowded house at dollar head, be.
cause shelays claim to having the aid of decent
dead people, who, in life would never have
consented to lend their good names to aid
such imposture upon their fellow citizens.
Santanelli has NOT, like the Fay" combina-
ton. acted upon the probability that the peo-
pie would not tolerate second show, and
therefore put the prices up, SO as to rake in
goodly pile" but has fixed the admission at
the very reasonable and sensible figures, 80
and % cents. There is every reason to an
ticipase a crowded house and satisfactory
and curious entertainment.

He was an indulgent father and good coun-

he gave utterance and other expression of his
