An Up"Conntry Industry.

Mr.. G. ". Wieckipg, who will be
remembered by old-time Charlestonians,
was in the city yesterday. Mr.. Wiecking
moved to Walhalla about ten years ago,
and has since been engaged 10 grape cul-
ture on tho slopes of the Blue Ridge.
He is now President and treasurer Of the
Oconee Grape Growers and Fruit Distil.
cry Association, of which DR.. D. E. Oar
by is the vice president and MIR. e..
Wanner the secretary.
To a Reporter for the Nescs and Courier
Mr.. Wiecking said yesterday that bis as.
sociation was in a splendid condition.
"We grow our own grapes and make as
fine wines and brandy as is made in the
United States. Our wines are as fine, if
not finer than those made in France and
Germany, and ten years hence our bran,
dies will rival those Of. Brandenburg,
Freres and Heunessy. All that we want
is time to age our wines and brandies.
Then too ne expect to bring immigrants
into the State. There is no finer country
than Oconee and Greenville and Pickens
for vine culture. There are vineyards in
that section that rival those Of France and
the Rhine. In my Judgment the vine
culture of upper Carolina in FIVE years
will be one of the chief industries of the
State."-News and Courier, 21st.

The Washington correspondent of the
81. Louis Globe. Democrat says: "There is
abundant confirmation of the information
previously sent regarding Mr.. Blaine's
candidancy for 1892. Some Of the Sec.
retary's friends go 80 far as to express the
belief that the President knows and
acquiesces in the drift Of things. These
friends say that while neither the Presi.
dent nor the Secretary will openly plan
for Mr.. Blaine's nomination, yet they
will both view with satisfaction the
development OF sentiment in that direc-
ton. 1t is claimed by Mr.. Blaine'a
friends that nobody can point to an act Of
the President's since the 9Th of March
and say that behind it is apparent the
second term motive. They contend that
President Harrison entered upon hif
duties with the single term idea firmly
fixed in his mind, and that being still in
such frame Of mind, he is able to look
with eqanimity on the movement of the
Blaine people for 1892"

THE RACES MUST SEPARATE.
DR.. Blyden, the Eminent Negro Scholar,
Believes That They Desire to go Back to
the Land OF Their Fathers.

To the Editor of the Ne,cs and Courier ::
have observed with great interest and
satisfaction, and, I must add, gratitude,
your kindly and sympathetic references
to my presence aud cfInrts in the South
in behalf of Africa's material and spirit
ua! regeneration through her exiled
sons in this country.
This morning when on my way from
Aiken, where I spent last week attending
the Conference of the African M. E
Church, copy of today's Neics and Cou
rier, containing your very able article on
the Race Problem, was placed in my
hands. Taking your discussion in con.
nection with the events now transpiring
in Congress, consider it as most signifi.
cant and timely.
After reading, when it FIRST appeared,
the article on the Race Problem by Prof.
Scomp in the current number of the
Forum, ! took the liberty Of writing him
a note on the subject, to which he sent
me the enclosed reply, which | think it
would interest you to read and if you
care to give any portion of it to the pub
lie, have the authority of the Professor
to allow such publication to be made.
The Professor, as you will see, is some.
what mistaken in his view of the attitude
of the negro to the African emigration
question. There is no subject dearer to
the hearts of hundreds of thousands than
the return to the land of their fathers. I
have been very forcib:y impressed by the
very widespread interest in the subject
the general desire to emigrate-which I
have observed in the State of South Car
olina.
IfCongress should make the provision
for their departure now recommended,
there would be no difficulty in finding
those ready to avail themselves of it; the
difficulty would be in avoiding adventur-
ers, who would hasten to place them.
selves under Government patronage aud
become prominent recipients of its bene-
fits, but who, on arriving in Africa,
would be sure, as Prof. Scomp suggests,
to "send back doleful accounts from that
