The South American Scheme.

1t is said that a scheme is on foot to
send thousands of colored people from
the Southern States to South America.
Whether there is really any truth in
it, or whether it will amount to any,
thing is more than we can say at this
writing. It is said that colored men
representing $2,OOO.OOO are working
the scheme. The headquarters is in
Missouri, and they propose to pay the
expenses of colored people to different
States of South America yet to be set
tied upon. 1t is said agents are now
looking after the climate, terms, ETC..
and that laborers will be taken from
South Carolina and States further
south. If there is anything of it more
will be learned of it soon

The 1frico american Presbyterian

Bro. Sanders says his facts were based
upon reliable information. From this
and what he said in the previous issue
of his paper, we suppose he must re-

we will not complain. 1t only gave

The emigration question is press

and is becoming sore and aggravating.
Is it best for the colored people to

how should our leading men advise

and it must be answered. Let us
take position and better our condition
here, or go elsewhere and do so.

Money at the Primary.

Since the late Republican primary
election in this county we have re-
ceived information of the use of
money in various parts Of the county
on the National Delegate contest.
As an instance of what has come to our
knowledge, q friend of Mr.. w. G.
Thompson wrote to certain leading
Republican of q township, asking
him to support Mr.. Thompson. and if
be did 80 to a certain extent, it would
be worth to him fifty dollars, over
and above all expenses, or words to
that effect. We have also received
word Of other improper means used
in the National Delegate election and
publish this now to request our
friends to at once send us any and all
knowledge they may have of the use
Of money in their districts. 1t is a
matter that concerns the honor, in
tegrity and interests Of the Republi-
can party in this county. and we hope
no Republican will feel backward in
bringing us or sending us anything
he may know in this matter. Such
information will be confidential and
only proper use will be made of it
send It in.

First Flowers Of May.

The flowers Of May are here-and
what is more refreshing and lovely?
The first of all to come in fields and
woods Is the white Towering of the
small tree known as the Service
berry," by some called "June berry,
just how this term service" came,
and what it means, we have never
fully learned. But seen among the
bleak oaks and other vet leaaess forest
trees, it's flowers are every spring
most welcome. Prettier still, and far
more charming, is the peach tree bios.
SONS, which are the next to put in an
appearance. In passing through the
country, just at this time, nothing
could be more lovely aud beautiful
than the sight of the pink colored
peach blossoms. AS seen alone along
the fence rows or in the corners of the
fields. surrounded on all sides by
naked and dreary objects, the new and
tender flowers of the little peach tree
are indeed an inspiring sight. The
howers of spring are always welcome
hut these first ones of May fill the
mind with the most pleasant emo
tions.
