NEGRO LABOR.

The Augusta Chronicle some time
ago published an interview with Prof.
White Of the University of Georgia,
IN which the Prof. takes the position
that the negro is failure as q labor
er. and that the great need Of the
South is q peasantry Of tie white
population. The same paper is pub
fishing opinions from practical farm
ers in South Carolina and Georgia on
the same subject. We publish on
our first page this week an article
from Mr.. Mcdaniel on the subject,
and we will publish in our next a
letter from Mr.. B. r. Tillman on the
same subject.
Mr.. Mcdaniel and Mr.. Tillman
both take the position that the negro
as laborer is not a failure, but on
the contrary, is peculiarly adapted to
our Southern country and the best
labor shat we can get.
We agree with these gentlemen
that negro labor, properly managed.
is the best labor that we can get in
our Southern country, and it is tie
cheapest. Tie negro, as rule, is
satisfied and contented and will live
on much less than the white man.
But the negro is here and he is here
to stay, at least for some time to
come, and whether he is the best labor
or not, we will have to make the best
out Of our surroundings. This is a
big question, and probably would be
better let alone just now.
r. IS wrong, as Mr.. Mcdaniel says,
to blame the negro for his failure on
the farm where the landowner rents
to him and leaves him to shift for
himself. He has nothing to start
with and has less than nothing when
he winds up at the end Of the year.
It should be remembered that it is
only little while since the negroes
were slaves, and that they have no
experience in management or any
thing else, except to labor as direct
ed, and if properly directed and
managed, we believe the negro is the
best labor for this country.
Mr.: Tillman says: "Whenever we
learn our people to farm instead Of
plant, there will be no further trouble
about labor. The need of the South
is not labor but better directed labor.
The negro is here and he is here to
say" There is much truth in this
Better directed labor and for the peo-
pie to learn to farm and not plant, as
Mr.. Tillnan says.
We need immigration, but as Mr..
Tillman says, if it comes it will come
to work for itself and not for US. In
fact that is the only kind Of immigra-
tion that we want or need. The pau
per immigrants who have come into
this State, as a rule, do not make
near as good labor as the negro.
We commend these articles to our
readers. Let the farmers industri-
ously and intelligently direct the
negro laborer and learn to farm and !
not plant simply, and tile condition
of the white man and negro will both |
be improved, and there will be less
cause for complaint.

The Discreet Reign Of the On1y Empires

At the age Of fourteen the strong
willed Princess Woo became one Of the
wives Of the great Emperor Tai. And
she proved 50 gracious and acceptable
. stepmother 70 young Prince Kaoa
that, as the records tell u. be grew
very fond Of the girl Queen. and. with
in year from the death Of his great
father, when he himself had succeeded
to the Yellow Throne, as Emperor Su-
prcme. he recalled the Queen Woo
from her retirement IN the HISTORIAN
mission-housc ut Tupg Chow and made
her one Of his royal wives. And when
in the year 683, Kaou-tsung died. she
boldly assumed the direction Of the
Government, and. ascending the throne,
declared herself Woo How Tsih-tien--
Woo. the Empress Supreme and Sow.

History records that this Zenobia Of
China proved equal to the great task.
She " governed the Empire with discrc-
ton" extended its borders, and Was
acknowledged Is Empress from tho
shores Of the Pacific to the borders Of
Persia. Of India and Of the Caspian
sea.
Her reign was one OF the longest and
raost successful in that period known
in history as the Golden Age Of China.
Because Of the native prejudice against
woman. Chinese historians have en-
dcavored 20 blackcn her character cnd
undervalue her services. But later
scholars now see that she was power
full and successful Queen. who did
grVat good TO her native land and
Strove to maintain It's power and glosy.
She never forgot her good friends
and protectors the HISTORIAN priests.
During her long reign Of almost fifty
years. Christianity strengthened in tho
kingdom and obtained footing that
only the great Mohammcdan conqucsts
Of five centuries later entirely de-
stroyed; and the Empress Woo. 20 the
