Coz ORED MEN TO RErALIATE
They hire ten TO Burn the Town

CHARLESTON, January dispatch
es received here tonight Indicate
that there are probabilities of
trouble in Barnwell. Telegrams
have been received in Blackville and
other neighboring towns asking for
aid, and special train left Blackville
with reinforcements tonight. 1t is
said the Negroes intend TO burn the
town. The whole country seems to
be up in arms, and conflict between
the blacks and whites appears
imminent.
The intelligent Negro is not
bothered about social equality
and rarely ever poses in the court
as prosecutor against a violation
of the law, except in cases where
he is hungry, sleepy, or has paid
out OF his hard earning a first-class
fare for travel. He is conscious
OF the prejudice arrayed against
him and has but little inclination
to brook it, except when necessary
and comfort demands it.

that BY home study and lessons by

You Kissed Ne


by josephine s. Hunt
You kissed mel My head bad dropped
lo~ vn your breast,
With - feeling of shelter and infinite
rest,
While holy emotion my tongue dared
not speak
Flushed up like flame from my heart
TO my cheek.
Your arms held me fast oh your arms
were so bold!
Heart beat against heart in that passion
ate hold.
Your glances seemed drawing my soul
through niue eyes
AS the sun draws the mist from the sea
to the SIX es.
And your lips cling 10 mine till / pray.
ed la my bliss
They might never unclasp from that
passionate kiss.
You kissed mel Ny heart, and my
breath and my will
In delirious Joy for the moment stood
still.
Ellie had for me then no temptations.
no charms.
No vista Of pleasure outside of your
arms.
And were this instant an Angel poe
The glory and peace that are given the
blest,
/ would ding my white rob unlepiu
lngly down.
And tear fiom my forehead its beauti-
tel crown,
To nestle once more In that heaven OF
rest,
With your lips upon mine aud my head
on your breast.
You kissed mel Ny soul, In bliss so
divine,
Rceled and >wooned like foolish man
drunken with wine.
And l thought 'twere delicious to die
then IL death
would come when my mouth was vet
moist with your breath.
And these are fhe questions I ask dav
and night:
Must my life taste but one such exquis
lite delight?
Would you care If your breast were my
shelter as then?
AND IL you were here would you kiss
me again.
