EARLY Slavery in South
Carolina.

Accordingly, in South Carolina,
the negroes were worked TO death,
and the relations between the slave
and his master were very different
from what they we're 10 Virginia and
Maryland. The negroes in South
Carolina vera simply heather sava>
ges: Wedlock was simply unknown
among them; they were kept in brute.
like ignorance, and were often treaked
with barbarous cruelty. Consequently,
instead of becoming softsned In dis
position and partially civilized, like
their brethren in Maryland and Viz
Rinis, these negroes were as ugly and
ferocioas az any tribe of saVsges in
Africa, Like the deg that is used
to being kicked, they were always
ready to snarl and bite. They were
q dangerous class OF society, prone to
commit crimes of violence, and to
run away or rise in rebellion when
occasion offered. IL the course OF
the eighteenth century there were
several alarming iIsur:ections, which
were suppressed with atrocious bar
bsrity. The planters lived in perpet-
ual terror. A sort of standing army,
in the shape of well drilled militia,
5000 strong, WAS kept continually on
duty, and part OF the business OF this
militia was to visit all the plantations
and search the negro quarters for con.
cealed weapons. They were also au-
thorized to fog any stray negro they
might chance to meet, without stop
ping to ask questions. For the muir
der OF master or oyerseer negroes
we're sometimes burned at the stake,
or exposed in an iron cage and left tc
I starve.-John Fiske in Harper's Mag

Nonsense. Ws'Ie no fools. skpow

Were you interviewed at your homs

Some fellow came there and after

things that | did say. The fellow re-

What has Foraker to do with the wool

how they vote next winter. Next fall
