Remove plant from the influence Of
the sun and it will fade, bring it out in
to the sunlight and it will partake ofthe
of the sums coloring. The Professor in
a humorous vein accused the ladies of
understanding the influence Of heat up-
on the hair since they always used
heated irons in order to curl their hair.
From this he concluded that as hair
artificial. curled is tile result of heat.
so hair naturally curled is the result of
heat and therefore common to those
who are natives in warm climates.
Father Grueiner then entered into

show that all men are physically alike,

The Colored people should profit by
lectures of this kind, since they furnish
not only shield of defence against the
ignorant shafts of prejudice, but also
arms for aggressive warfare. I am
pleased to observe general awakening
all along the line among tile Colored
people and their respective pastors.
This is as, it should be. .Letsthe good

will do all that lies within their power

not coincide very exactly with the as,

Uttered At POsTorPJcE As SECOND CLASS IA1TEI
SATURDAY, MARCH s, 1890.

The Barnwell People, published in
the county made infamous by the late
massacres, does not approve of Northern
benevnlence seeking to educate the
Afro American. 1t says: "The cod
ding and nursing that is being deluged
upon him is bringing him to ruin be-
yond redemption. Neither he nor his
leaders have yet learned that a little
learning is dangerous thing. Although
in the very infancy of his freedom, bis
false friends are seeking to put him
above the intelligence of the white mas.
ter race that has been free from it's very
cradle, that has led the worlds restless
march toward all it's best achievements.
And the Negro listens and accepts such
gush as gospel. He is coming to believe
the mistake that he was the injured
martyr of slavery, instead of the truth
that he was its best beneficiary. He is
turning his back upon the truest friend
he ever had, the owner schoolmaster,
who has trained and educated him for
the future that must be met and gone
through"
It is wonderful how hard the preiu-
diced whites attempt to make the Afro
American satisfied with his lot and en-
deavor to get him to believe his condi-
ton will not be bettered by the enjoy
ment of all the rights and privileges any
others enjoy 1t was ever thus, however.
Once upon time "befo de wah" COL
ored man tired of being held in bondage
and ran away, When he reached free
soil, some white men began to chafe
him, said one II believe you are run
away?" Eyes sir, I am" said the man.
''Had mean master, 1 SUPPOSED" mo,
he was as good as could be-" "Worked
you too hard?' ''No, let me 10 as
pleased" Didn't give you enough to
eat?" 81 lived on the fat of the land"
"Wel], I cannot see what in thunder
you wanted to run away for!' "Gentle-
man, my former situation is open to
any of you that wants it!' That settled
it. If it were possible for white men to
put themselves il. our place and to feel
what we have felt they then would see
things in another light. 1t is human to
want the things we have not more than
those We have, and that's what's the
matter with us, we are human. What's
good enough for our white brothers is
good enough for US, we desire nothing
more, we will be satisfied with nothing
less. Our eyes may be large, but we

A few days since United States Deputy
Marshal Corbett, of Macon, and five
deputy marshals appeared at Sharon,
Ga, and arrested during the day seven
teen prominent citizens of the town and
county, charged with conspiracy and in
tlmidaton against E. L. Duckw orth, the
newly appointed postmaster at Share H..
The marshals were armed with Win
chester rifles when they began making
the arrests, but they met with no resist
ance, all later in the da Marshal Cor
bert Instructed his deputies to lay aside
their rifles, having been assured by
those under arrest and other citizens
that the arres: ed parties would accom-
pany them vountar. ly wherever ordered.
A few Winchester rifles, judiciously used
in arresting and maintaining the autor-
ity of the United States government are
needed badly in several Southern local
tiles, and it will save much trouble in
future to subdue few DULLES and bus
terers now. Intimidating and conspir-
ing against an United States officer is
actual rebellion and treason, as the
government cannot enforce its laws ex-
cept through the agency If officers. The
more decidedly and promptly the chal-
enge of the outlaws who are defying the
government is met, the better it will for
all concerned.

We beg leave to call the attention of
Mr.. ingalls, to the following occurrence
which is reported in Little Rock, Ark,
journal: &c.,.
mot long ago, Mrs. Matte Rhodes, a
widow, accompanied by her three chill
dren arrived from Newport, and took
up her abode in Argenta. Elizabeth,
the Oldest daughter, girl of about Is
years, was blessed with considerabl per-
sonal beauty, and more than average
intelligence. She was blonde of that
peculiar type that instantly arrests the
attention of gentlemen of dark COM lex-
ion. 1t soon became apparent to the
people in the neighborhood of the re-
sort in which Mrs. Rhodes was living,
that Elizabeth's most persistent sutton
was big black Negro bv the name of
Frank Isom. The girl detested the fel-
low, but the mother, for some unac-
countable reason favored the suit, and
did all within her power t6 induce her
to marry lsom. After exhausting her
stock of gentler methods, the mother
emphatlcally told her daughter that she
must marry the Negro. fearful protests
from the girl were of no avail. The
license was procured by man who ap-
| peared at the county clerks office and
represented that he was the girls father.
Rev. P. G. Boyd, a Colored preacher of
| Little Rock performed the ceremonv'.

The Democratic Policy.

The Republican majority in Congress has
disgraced itself. Ii has been doing so, in
point Of fact, for some time past, but it
has now done so even in the eyes of self
respecting Republicans, who have been
disposed heretofore to make apologies for
its shortcomings and its .overreachings.
The Democrats should adhere to the policy
they have now adopted of obstructing the
passage of all bills calculated to do harm
to thepeople as whole. We have won
dered that they did not adopt it earlier,
since il is clearly legitimate, and has indeed
been incumbent upon them under the cir
cumstances in which they have been
placed. Let them fight every Radi-
cal measure TO the last ditch. We
trust that the session will not be
prolonged much further, but while 1t
lasts we earnestly hope our party friends
will maintain their fight against every
thing undemocratic, which is equivalent
in this country to saying everything IN
patriotic and will meier give DER in any
single case.

Republican, Not Plantation, Manners
The outrageous Republican behavior in
the House Of Representatives Wednesday
was natural outcome of the general Re
publican policy of force. the unprecedent-
ed rules adopted by the Radical majority
in the lower legislative chamber, and the
dogmatic and inconsistent course as
Speaker of the dude-sashed dicta-
tor" REED. The politically indecent
bearing of the Radical boss is reflected
in the indecent language Of his bench
men on the floor of the most conspicuous
legislative body in existence, and the
result is disgrace for Congress as whole
in the eyes of the world and mortified
ton for all the people of this coun-
try. The Republican majority has COW
cred itself with shame and there is
nothing left for it to do but to permit of a
winding up of the public business at as
early date as possible and an adjourn
ment forthwith of the body it has dis
honored. Its present inglorious position
is fit sequel to the high-handed pro-
ceedings it has upheld and enforced
against Democracy and whatever is right
and Just and of good report in Federal
lepislatiOn
