THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Over Four Thousand Pass Through
Charleston During the Past Week, All
On Their Way TO the SOuth and South.
Wcst-Emlgrating Mt the Rate of q
Thousand Day.

CHARLESTON, s. c., Jan. 3.-The exodus
of negroes from North and South Carolina
has begun in real earnest Over two thou
sand passed through Greenville last night,
on their way to the Southwest. They are
all emigrants, and came from North Caro-
lima.
Within the past week over four thousand
negroes have passed through Charleston, on
their way to Florida, Alabama and South
Georgia. Many of these people are ACCOM-
panied by their families.
There is annually pilgrimage of abont
500 negro laborers who ale hired in North
Carolina 10 work OF the turpentine farms III
Florida. These generally return home in
December, spend the holidays at home, and
return South in January. This year, how
ever, the exodus amounts to wholesal emil
grafton, many of the laborers being accom-
panied by their families. The emiglants
are chiefly from North Carolina and the
eastern part of South Carolina They are
going South at the rate of one thousand o
day.
The Barnwell massacre will probably in
crease the number of emigrants. Il not
improbable that at least one.half Of the
negro population of Barnwell will emigrate
as soon as they can make arrangements for
getting away.

Domestic Service in the South.

There are are too many low-grade
cooks, dirty nurses and lazy house
girls. They have demoralized the
better class of negro servants to be
found here before the war, and at
that time one Of the features of South
ern households. Domestic service
has been dragged down to the level
of the rough plantation hands, who
pour into the cities, and who are
ready to begin cooking for family
without having ever seen stove in
their lives. They work at a place a
month and then leave it for another,
and the domestic history of most fam
lies in the South to-day is a steady
succession of incompetent negro ser.
wants. We are suffering on the SER
want question as much as the people
of New England. They from lack
of domestics, we from an excess,
which has thoroughly demoralized all
and dragged the good down to the
level Of the worst. If we could ship
annually some 10000 or even 100000
negro servants North it would be bet
ter for all hands. Perhaps our North
ern friends could make something out
of them. and we would certainly i'm
prove domestic service here with few
er, but better cooks, nurses, and
house-girls.-Ne,c Orleans imes-Dem-

Eleven Carloads of Negroes En- Route to
Southern States.

Eleven carloads of negro emierants,
numbering about 1000, stopped in Char.
lotte a little while yesterday The larger
portion of them were from Wayne, Pitt,
and Lenoir counties. They were on their
way SSoaeh 70 different locations. This
crowd of negroes will be divided among the
States of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and
Alabama. Some of them said that the in
ducement offered is farm to rent tha land
lords agreeing to furnish tenants with sup
plies for half the year. Others said that
they did not know what they would do un-
til they arrived at their destination, and
that they were under obligations to the
agents to work out their passage. after which
they will look out for themselves. Many
seemed not to know why they were going.
One fellow said that he had been on the
way more than week and was getting tired
and hungry. The Chronicle reporter looked
into one Of the cars as the agent in charge
was carrying large basket Of bread through
the car and distributing loaves among the
families The agent told the reporter that
1000 negroes left Goldsboro Wednesday
for Georgia, By way of the Atlantic Coast
Line. The emigrants from Pitt said that
nearly all the negroes have left that county,
most of those remaining being in the
towns.
The agents are still at work and the exo-
dus is likely to continue. The negroes say
that they leave because they were unable to
live on account OF their destitute condition
in the Eastern counties.
They say that they could have secured
employment on rented farms, but the farm
ers were unable to pay wages, and that they
could not secure supplies. Charlotte Clron-

er thinks of asking him to pay for refresh
ments. They one and all want to see the
affair in the paper, and it would never do
to win the disfavor OF the correspondent
AS is frequently the case, the paper he rep
resents is the only one taken in the neigh
borhood, and what it says is the law and
gospel of the surrounding country. In
cases of this kind the country correspond
ent lives in continual whirl of fame and
glory. Nothing the land can afford is too
good for his epicurean taste. They all con-
suit him for enlightenment upon all posi-
BILE subjects. The correspondent is contin-
ually reminded of his importance in
thousand different ways. How many edit
ors, poets story-writers, and, in fat, writer's
of any description, enjoy hearty personal
homage like that bestowed on tue average
country correspondent? Few indeed. 1t
is true that he frequently writes bad En-
glish, spells poorly, gets his proper names
terribly twisted, and rarely scndsin nm item
of any interest outside of the neighborhood
in which it was written. That makes little
difference in the fame enjoyed by the coun-
try correspondent, for nobody but the editor
and printer-poor martyrs-know anything
about these slight Irregularities. Sometimes
the correspondent sends in an item that is
of considerable importance i'll the estima-
ton Of larger papers. 1t makes its appear
ance among the Brushtown happenings, is
devoured by the exchange mans scissors,
and, 10 and behold, the fact of fearful
crime at Brushtown is proclaimed to the
world. The country correspondent was the
first to make the facts known, and to him
all credit is due. 1t is in this way that the
rural scnbbler frequently aids the metro
politan paper The country correspondent
has come to stay. Long may he live to en-
JOY the glory that is upon him so freely be-
stowed-ADert Sidney Gregg IL the Journalist.

The Country Correspondent.

Of all the aspirants for literary fame the
country correspondent perhaps has q better
opportunity for gaining the goal Of his am
bition than many more pretentious writers
who live more and have their being in the
literary centers of the country. The met
ropolitan paper has little to do with the rural
writer in direct way, but sometimes owes
much to him indirectly. 1t is that class of
publications known as country papers
that encourage the efforts of the country
correspondent" Papers OF this type sell
dom circulate outside OF the town and coun-
ty in which they are published.
Their subscription lists depend as much
if not more upon direct and indirect putting
than upon genuine news. Country papers
frequently have plenty Of space, and contri
buttons Of local nature are nearly always
welcome, particularly when they consist of
brief mention Of local happenings in an
adjoining neighborhood. Much of coun-
try papers strength and success depends
upon the list of correspondents it can pre-
sent The editor usually arranges with a
young lawyer, a doctor. school-teacher, or
some bright young man to send in the items
Of news occurring each week. Seldom in
deed is there any compensation beyond
copy Of the paper, good commission on
subscriptions, and perhaps small card call
ing attention to the fact that Dr.. Spikes is
the only physician in Brushtown. But if
the correspondent does not get princely
salary, he receives enough glory to create
envy within the heart of king. He Is
nearly always well-known in the nciShbor-
hood in which he is located, and the people
in the surrounding country come to look
upon DR.. Spikes as possessed with all the
knowledge worth knowing. He goes to all
the picnics and barbecues and enjoys the
distinction of having all the girls desper-
ateiy in love with him, because he mention
ed their names at some period in the remote
past. Fond mothers look upon the country
correspondent with great respect, for in their
eyes newspaper representative is grand
parsonage. The country b2aux all thorough
ly despise the correspondent, because he is
held in such high esteem by the ladies.
Complacently the object Of their contempt
turns up at every church social or public en-
tertainment, and proceeds to help himself
with true journalistic instinct. No one ev-

In his recent message to the Ken
tacky Legislature, Governor Buckner
shows that the State of Kentucky last
year spent nearly one and half mil
lions of dollars upon her public
schools, and the sum is increasing at
the rate of about ten per cent. per
snnum, or four times as fast as the
population. The amount for each
child in 1889 was s215, and this
amount was drawn for everyone of
III, 1855 colored children. The white
people taxed themselves over quar-
Ter Of million dollars for the edu-
cation of colored children, while the
eolored people paid for the education
OF the youth of the State, white and
black, only $4,000, or not the hun
dredth part OF what the Caucasians
contributed. Evidently Kentucky
does not require the fostering care of
the National Government for her
schools. We take it for granted that
the Kentucky Senators will vote
against the Blair bill.

Girls and Their Photographs.

Learn to say no when asked for
your photograph by some one not es-
pecially dear to you. There is in
that little word much that will pro-
tect you from evil tongues. Learn
to think that your face is too sacred
to decorate the apartment of Tom,
Dick, or Harry, no matter if each one
OF the three is one of the pleasantest
fellows in the world. When the sun
imprinted in black and white, just
how sweet snd how dainty You look,
it did not mean that the picture
should have incense in the shape of
tobacco smoke, OF dubious praise in
the form of a discussion of your
points rendered to it. Give away
your picture with discretion. Re
member that some day will come
along Prince Charming, who will
have a right, the right owned by the
master of the heart, to ask for the
counterfeit presentment of yourself
after he knows that he is going to
have the real girl for his own. Think
how mortified you would be if
be should discover that the giving
away of your photograph has been
almost as general as tie invitations to
your New Years party. Think how
he will feel if he sees your face look
ing over the mantel-shef in Dicks
room-Dick whom he knows to be a
brsggart, and man for whom he
has the utmost contempt! Then just
learn to say no. Don't display your
photographs to your men friends, and
you will not have this unpleasant task;
but if you should do it, and have not
the courage to say the little monosyl-
liable, be wise and refer them to
papa.-Ladies' Home Journal.

interesting Condolences.
Jan. 8, 1890.

To Editor Manning Times:-About
our present chief executive, Governor
John Peter Richardson, there are sew
eral condolences which are not only
interesting, but singular.
His father, who was also named
John Peter Richardson, was Governor
of South Carolina from 1910 to 1912;
this is the only instance, I believe, in
the history of our State, where two
Governors have borne exactly the same
name. The Governor who preceded
the first John Peter Richardson was
B. K. Henegan, who was not elected
to that Office, but was only filing out
an unexpired term; the Governor who
preceded the second John Peter Rich
ardson was John c. Sheppard, who
like Henegan was not elected to the
Office, but was also filling out an un-
expired term. The Lieutenant Gov
ernor under the first John Peter Rich
ardson was an up-countryman, Col.
". X. Clowney, of Union, whose first
name was William. The Lieutenant
Governor under the second John Pc
ter Richardson, is also an up-country-
man, DR.. W. L. Mauldin, of Green
vile, whose first name is also William
We see, then, that South Carolina
numbers among her chief executives,
two men, father and son, whose names
are exactly the same; the Governors
who preceded both of them were not
elected to that Office, but were only
filing unexpired terms; the Lieuten-
ant Governors under both came from
the up-country, and the first name of
both the Lieutenant Governors was
and is William. Probably we will
not meet with so many condolences
about the Governor of any other
Southern State. Do not these coin
cidences go to prove the truth of the
proverb, History repeats itself? ?"

RanH mortgage your farm. Nine
viii fail to pay when
the mortgage is due and will have to
carry the burden of debt all their
lives. II is better to live hard, better
10 make money less rapidly, than to
borrow money with the expectation OF
thereby increasing your chances for
money-making. This does not apply
TO every man, and unfortunately when
man wishes to borrow money he is
apt to think he is one of the excep-
Sions and can use borrowed money
advantageously and make more out OF
It than he pays for it. The result is
he generally makes less and ultimately
loses all he borrowed and all he had
himself and his last state is worse than
the first.

In the recent notable murder trial
at Chicago the astounding fact was
developed that one of the officers OF
the law was implicated in the con-
spiracy to defeat the ends of justice.
The fact excited more Indignation
than surprise. The public took the
disgracefuf revelation almost as
matter of course, and the perjured
official is probably still holding his
Office. This is an extreme case, but
the public mind is so familiar with
the idea of the completely of the Of
fcers of The law with law-breakers, or
their laxity in its administration, that
no surprise is manifested.
