Is 1t Discrimination ?

"The facts are these. The american Agricul-
turist. an old and popular journal, has made
the offer OF 500 to be given to the subscriber
TO that paper who makes the largest yield OF
corn per acre this year. Our department SIM
ply proposes to give an additional $500 If the
man who wins the reward should be citizen
Of this State."-Ldurens advertiser.
AS we understand. our neighbor is mis-
taken.
Our understanding is, that nobody can CON-
pete for the AgriculturiSEs $500, who is not a
subscriber to that paper. The Agricultural
Department supplements that offer by giving
$500 to any subscriber Of that paper who may
win the Agrtcultu,ists prize. This we think
is decidedly wrong. Plainly wrong. If we
a In error as to facts, please enlighten us.
Understand US. We think 1t proper and
right for the Agricultural Department to en-
courage the cultivation of corn or other farm
product. provided each and every citizen has
a fair chance. But suppose citizen, who is
not a subscriber 10 the Agrtcunurist, should
raise bigger crop than that raised by airy
subscriber to that paper? Would he get any
prize? Not bit OF 1t. That prize goes TO the
subscriber to the Ag,iculturist, and we submit
that the officers of the State of South Carolina
have no right to discriminate bssEeen our cit
liens. The fact of mans subscribing to any
particular newspaper should not entitlc him
to special advantages from the government.
Our public officers may be fully justified in
appropriatipg our money to encourage sub
scriptions to particular or fivoritc ncwspa.
Ger. but we do not see it in that light, and We
would like to know by what method of rea-
sonipg spch o course can be commended. If
we are ia error, please correct us.

THE BEST THAT WE HAVE SEEN.
A Negroes Solution of the Negro
Problem.

A Negroes Solution of the Negro
Problem.
Bishop Arnett, who presided at the meet
ing OF the colered conference which was held
in Abbevillc last December, is reported to
have said:
"Rcmember that you and have part In
solving the great race problem OF this coun-
try. The African Methodist church Is one OF
the great factors in the solution of this ques-
ton. I believe that you must furnish not
only the men, but you must furnish the role
by which this race problem shall be solved to
the satisfaction of the people and TO the glo-
ry of God. In order TO do that we must cul-
tivate in every man n personal pride, In ev-
cry home q family pride, and in every lndi-
vidual race pride. The true solution Of this
problem is education for your head, religion
integrity for your conduct. Time must also
be considered as a necessary element In the
solution. These four ingredients, taken ev.
cry morning, noon and night for a reasonable
One of the duties Of the true minister OF the
church is to teach the people that labor Is
honorable. and that God has said that by the
sweat of your brow shall you make your
emigration TO the towns and cities we would
subseFve the best interest. OF our people and
of the state. Ever since the proclamation oil

Danger Ahead to Common Schools.

/ The Star mentioned that bill had
been introduced into the Alabama
Legislature to apply the taxes of the
whites to teaching white children and
the taxes of the negroes to teaching
negro children. 1t seems that there is
Il similar bill before the North Carroll
IA Legislature. This bill will hardly
pass. There is no doubt of the fact
that such law would be very popular
in North Carolina if it can be consti-
tutionally adopted. Amy man can
sweep the State upon that issue by an
rwhelming majority if whites were
to do the voting. 1t is to be regretted
that such a law cannot be enacted, as
the time is perhaps not very remote
when they will wipe out the common
school system entirely. If the North
ern enemies of the Southern whites
continue their war the result will be
the destruction Of all common schools.
The WhHcs Of the South will not agree
to be heavily taxed for negroes any
longer who are aiming and conspir-
ing to get political control, and ali
know that this can only mean q totat
destruction of Crc1y interest hat IS
dear to the Whitc men an the Mouth,
The whites indeed have done grandly
thus far. In North Carolina in twenty
wears more than four million dollars
have been expended IN educating the
nc0rocs, and of this sum 95 per cent
has come from the white taxpayers.

Extracts from the Christian NGighb0r.
Samoan Affairs.

The rlmOr That the German manor
war olga had destroyed the U. S. Ship
Nipsic has created great excitement
throughout the country. To this time
of writing March 12) we have not
heard Of any confirmation of the ru-
NOR. The latest intelligence from
Washington is that there is an utter
absence of any official information that
would confirm the rumor, and that
those who are best qualified and in the
most favored position to judge, have
reasons to discredit the exciting ru-
NOR. If it all turns out false good peo-
pie will pray that nothing may take
place which would justify such report,
and if true then prayer should be Of
fered that wisdom may speedily take
the place of war.
The following from the Daily Regis
ter of the 18th may throw some light
on affairs in Samoa:
WASHINGTON, March 11.-At the
State and Navy Departments this
morning the same reply, now becom-
ing somewhat monotonous,." ."We have
no information, is made in answer to
requests for some news regarding the
alleged destruction of the Nipsic at Sa
mea. Mr.. Walker Blaine says that
the Department of State utterly dis
credits the story and is free from ap-
preheNsion upon the subject. ,
It now appears that the United
States naval officer who was stationed
at Auckland, the nearest cable point
to Samoa, rejoined the Nipsic some
time ago. Nevertheless the Navy De-
partment holds that it would have
been speedily informed of the reported
engagement through the United States
Consul at Auckland, had any such
thing happened. To forward news to
Berlin, the Olga must have run over
to Auckland, and at least her arrival
there would have been reported, if
indeed the secret of her mission to the
cable station did not leak out through
some of the sailors.
Captain Mullan Of the Nipsic was
ordered "to protest and use his good
offices.u These were, in substance like
he instructions given Admiral KIM
berly, which at the time they We're is
sued were regarded in some quarters as
being too narrow and inadequate to
carry out the popular wish. 1t may be
recalled, however, that Secretary
Whitney saw at the time, in com
munication ultimately laid before the
House naval committee, that it was as
far as he could 60 in the absence of any
definite declared policy on the part of
this government in regard to the Sa-
moan question.
San FRANCIsco, March lit is
stated that the first Breslau cablegram,
which originated the present Nipsic
agitation, was sent from this city.
The story goes that one of the pas
sepgers who came up on the Mariposa
brought news of an Important charac-
ter, commercially, relative to the Sa-
moan troubles, to local German mer-
camille house. This house, for the
purpose of influencing trade in a GER
tain channel, cabled the story to its
Breslau correspondent with instruc-
tions to give it wide circulation. The
present agitation was the result. This
statement of the case received credence
among downtown merchants to-day,
when many widely conflicting reports
were in circulation.

Wood Ashes in the HOEpen.

1t is believed by many that a liberal supply
of wood ashes in the hogpen serves TO promote
the health of the occupants, and Is sure pre-.
ventive for many forms Of disease. The fol.
lowing from an exchange shows that ashes
are highly valued by some swine growers. A
certain farmer and his neighbor 10 whom the
secret had been communicated, had been very
successful in keeping their hord of swine
healthy and thrifty, while those or their
neighbors were dying. The secret of their
success was due to the free use OF ashes on the
feeding places. When corn feeding com.
menced these farmers would haul load OF
ashes and scatter over the feeding place, re.
peating from time TO time during the fnttcn-
Ing period. Coal ashes was found TO answer
as we'll as wood ashes when the cobs accumu-
lating about the feed lot were piled together
frequently and burned, allowing the ashes to
mix with the coal ashes. BY practicing this,
these two men saved their hogs each year,
putting them on the market healthy and fat
tened. During two years, when cholera ragged
in the neighborhood some men lost all their
hogs, while those Of the farmers above named
were exempt. Yet these losers would not
adopt the simple preventive that gave immu-
nifty to two farms In their midst from diSea Sc,
the remedy is SO simple that they scofed at
its supposed efficacy. Too much testimony
has accumulated in the favor Of ashes con-
tributing to the health Of swine, when they
have constant access to them, for farmers TO
ignore their value. This preventive is In the
reach Of all men, and there is no reasonable
excuse for not making free use OF it:-Amert-
can Cultipdtor.
