To convince our people shat We
must come together, they need not
go no further than to read the &C
counts of some of our contested cleo
ton cases. It is surprising to see the
backing the enemy have. a few
years ago, no white man with par
ticle of decency, would attempt to
disrupt our State government nor aid
in unseating our representatives in
Congress, but to-day there are white
men, that is, they have white skins,
who for the sake Of gratifying petty
spite, would actually aid in unseating
our representatives and put in their
places negroes As for the class Of
men referred to, we are forever
against them, never do We want any
political afiliation with such, but there
are thousands Of men in the State
who do not belong to our faction
that are also opposed to the negro
alliance and it is to these we must
hold out the olive branch. We are
now passing through a critical period
and white men must band them
selves solidly together or the few de-
signing, unscrupulous demons, to-
gether with an ignorant mass viii
again get control of this government
and viii make the days prior to 1875
paradise in comparison.

About all of the counties through
out the State have responded to the
sForty" call and the people are
watching the outcome OF the confer
ence which meets in Columbia TO-
day. It is to be hoped that the con-
ference will result in solving the
knotty problem now confronting us
and that strife and discussion will be
a thing of the past. There is no
man who has the welfare of the State
at heart, but what knows that a peo-
pie conditioned as we are cannot af-
ford to continue qusrreling with
each other, and if the conference to-
day will put forth plan by which
the white people can get together
they Will have done a work far-reach-
ing in its effects. Any fair-minded
man, be he Reformer or Conserve
tive will willingly put his shoulder to
the wheel to bring about q more
kindly feeling, If the same can be
done without sacrifice Of principle,
and when fair and Just proposition
is made, those kicking against it be-
cause their political advancement
might be retarded by it, viii and
should be looked upon SIS 6rebrands
feeding upon the passions and preju-
dices of men for their individual ad-
vancement.

THE NEGRO TO BE LAID ASIDE
Strong Features OF the McKlnly Program
as to Southern Republican Party.

Strong Features OF the McKlnly Program
as to Southern Republican Party.
THoMAsvnLE, Ca, March 25.-Gov-
ernor Mckinley has recovered suf6-
ciently from his attack of grip to con-
tinue his journey. He will leave here
today at 1:S0 o'clock for St. Augustine.
The Advertiser Of this city is out in
an interview with one of the Mckinley
henctnen, caught on the sly in which
g Is claimed that the Mckinley pro-
gramme was revealed in toto to the
Advertiser man. This programme
provides as follows:
The negro is to be laid aside and q
white republican party built up in the
south. Editor Medill will not sell the
Chicago Tribune to Mr.. kohlsaat or
anybody else, but will run it in the in
terest Of Governor Mckinley. Mr..
Kohlsaat will publish a big republican
paper in the south, probably at New
Orleans. The tariff question will be
the main issue Force bills and elec-
ton laws will be eschewed entirely.
The Advertiser gloats greatly over this
news and claims unreservedly that it is
all authentic.

EXODUS OF NEGROES
Senator Morgan Expresses His
Views on the Subject.
TALKS SFROM A SOUTHERN STANDPOINT
He Believes the Blacks Are Anxious to
TO Emisrate and That the Whites
Want Them to Gothic SEN
ator's Opinion.

WASHINGTON, March 25. = Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, thinks the pres
ent exodus of negroes from the south
to Africa will increase rapidly in pro-
portions, and he believes that the
time will soon come when the govern
ment Of the United States will take the
matter up officially and aid in their de-
portation. In discussing the question,
he said:
Africa is the natural home Of the negro, and
majority OF them desire to return to that
country. They cannot well be blamed for en-
tertaining thac wish. for there is nothing in
this or any other white mans country for the
African race Sufficient time has elapsed since
the slaves were enancipated to demonstrate
the white mans superiority in all the walks Of
life and my observation is that most Of the
negroes are convinced already II they remain
here they will always occupy inferior
positions and continue as Of old to be little
more than servants.
It has been. I know, asserted that the ne
groes Of this country do not want to emigrate,
but the contrary is true. 1t is probably a fact
that some OF those who live in cities prefer to
remain in this country. and this. think. IS
especially true Of mulattoeS; but the large
majority Of the country blacks want to get
away. and the only thing which holds them
here Is their ignorance Of the means Of de-
pa,rture and their inability to pay thier pas
sage. I believe that If the means for their
transportation could be furnished gratis, a
million and q half Of negroes could be trans
ported to Africa il the next twelve months.
Senator Morgan also asserted that a
large majority Of the white population
il. the south would prefer to have the
negroes go. He said:
It is certain that many OF the planters, the
owners Of large plnntationS prefer to ilave
them remain for the reason that they favor
their labor in comparison with a certain class
Of whites. but this element is in the minority,
and the poorer whites and the professional
classes in the south prefer 10 have the negroes
sent away. Tae poor man does not want their
competition, and all classes object to negro
equality in political affairs. as all feel that
they stand directly in the way Of securing q
more desirable class Of residents, by prevent
irlg immigration. Furthermore, 1t ts not true,
al It seems to be supposed that only negroes
cnn do the labor in the southern states an as
sertion which Is subStantiated by the fact that
the cotton crop OF this country has increased
from a little ever three million bales before
slle war to nine million bales.
The senator expressed the opinion
that congress would take the problem
of exporting the negroes in hand at no
distant day. and said he expected that
within the next three or four years the
government would be found providing
means for their transportation.

Often have we urged the building
of some kind of manufacturing in
dustry and as yet 10 response has
come. Do our people not see that
We are fast losing golden oppor-
tunity? Are We to let our neighbor-
ing towns 60 on and grow up while
we are standing still? Take the mat
ter OF a canning factory; very little
capital is required to put such an
institution in operation, and all that
is necessary, is for those that have
money to get a little enterprise on
themselves. Some of our neighbor-
ing towns have built canning fac
tories and in every instance large
dividends have resulted. We can do
the same, then why don't we?

"And you took sn active part in hang
ing several helpless negroes not long ago
one of them was an old man." He made
this remark with an increased venom in his
tone. IAN this has been reported to US"
1--WE are informed Of all this one-sided
business" They were hung for no cause,
and had never had trial, and We are here
to look into it all and straighten it all up"
There were several, perheps FIVE, negro
men hung here several weeks ago. They
were found with guns in their hands and
when the attempt by the sheriff to arrest
them was made, he and his posse were fired
upon from ambush. This Is my reccollec-
ton Of this affair. When they were arrested,
they were tried and hung. This whole
country knows this" "What had you to do
with it, for they tell US your were there:"
Nothing, only that as minister of the
Gospel, visited them as soon as they were
arrested in prison. This ] did every day
and after their trial. There is nothing that

back steps as he had entered; at least we
concluded he bad entered the house from
that direction.
And now that this rufian, for so We took
him to be, was gone. his last words rung
in our ears, "Ill see you again" He mean:
