Among one of the unique and
enterprising and determined off,
clals in this city is Mr.. VIM. Swim
burn, constable in the office of us
tice Lewis |. O'Neil. Mr.. Swim
burn was corn in Toronto, Canada.
He came 10 this city about nine
years ago Prior to that time he
lived in Chicago, ILL.,, and was the
first man to summon the first col
ored jury in the United States in
the city of Chicago, which caused
a great sensation to the extent that
the jurors were called cattle. He
served in the war of the late rebel
lion with Major Mckinley in the
5th Ohio regiment. He has done
many charitable acts in tn city
principally for the coloreG people
among whom he does work. In
one day during last winter he
clothed over 800. This speaks
well for Mr.. Swinburn. As a con-
stable he is one # the most effic-
lent in this city and handles his
cases with great deal of dexterity.
He will leave today for Chicago,
ILL.,, where he is well known in the
interest Of Major Mckinley.

THE POLITICAL MIX UP.

The republican managers may as
sert that Mr.. Bryan will be defeat
ed and that 270 electoral votes are
sure for Major Mckinley, but,
from the standpoint of The Bee
and those who are bias as to the
real situation are of the opinion
that a great deal Of work must be
done to accomplish the defeat OF
the silver party which seems to
have taken a strong hold in the
minds of the laboring people v hose
votes will outnumber those of gold
proclivities. The whcle business is
a mixed up affair and the re, ubli-
Can managers have made the mis-
take in bringing the colored man
in active service at this late hour.
1t is not believed that the monetary
basis of this country will be
changed if either party wins. The
question that is being strongly con-
sidered among Afro-American vo-
terS is what may they expect if they
assist in electing Mr.. Bryan. Some
time ago, the editor of this paper
addressed Mr.. Bryan a letter ask.
ing his views upon the Afro-Amer-
lean question, but that gentleman
politely referred him to his public
speeches and uGterances.
Whether Mr.. Bryan has said any
thing in his many speeches and
public utterances to warrant the
colored voters to support HIM is
question for them to decide.
In this campaign the colored
voters in the states in which their
votes are fairly counted have an ex-
cellent opportunity to prove them
selves men and respectable citizens,
but, to the contrary they have
played the monkey and parrot act
to the disgust of their more fortu-
nate fellow citizens.
That the Afro American is a
coward has been fully demonstrated
in the present campaign.
No matter which way the elect
ion goes the Afro-American must
hew his own pathway and prove to
the white man that he is capable of
self government and everything
else that will tend to make him
man and a citizen.
The republican party has done
everything to establish his citizen
ship ; it has placed him in positions
of power and trust, but, to what
extent he has improved himself to
further consideration and
emoluments will be judged by his
past record in the event of Major
or Bryan's election. We
firmly believe there will be trouble
IN dec;Iing this e.ection, and the
final result will settle the destiny
of Afro-Americans.

Come to the mother when she feels
For the first time her first born's breath;
Come when the blessed seals
Which close the pestilence are broke,
And crowded cities wall its stroke;
Come in consumption ghastly form,
The earthquakes shock, the ocean
storm;
Come when the heart beats high Eand
With banquet-song, and dance and
wine,
And thou art terrible: the tear,
The groan, the knell. the...pall, the
bier,
And all we know. or dream, or fear
Of agony are thine"
"Lulu Farrar is dead " With
sorrowing hearts the news passed
from lip to lip. The beloved and
cultured Lulu Farrar was daugh-
ter of Mrs. Mahala Percival, 'of
Abbeville, S. G. She was born
here. Part Of her schooling was
obtained in the public Schools of
this city and the other at Clafin
University, Orangebnrg, s. G.
This institution is one of the best
in the State for the education of
our youth. There are about six
hundred students in atten lance.
After having finished the pre-
scribed course, she herself became
d teacher in her alma mater. In
. this capacity she was very efficient.
But the President, DR.. Dunton,
recognizing IN her, great worth,
soon appointed her to the position
of Secret Try of the University.
She was a fine mathematician and
a profound thinker.
On Monday night the 18th in
stsnt the spirit Of this excellent
young woman took its flight to the
God from whence it came. In her
drath Orangeburg, s. c., where
she died, joined hands with Able
vile and together wept. But our
weeping was not hopeless for she
died 10 the full triumph of faith.
About year ago she was married
to one of the sons of Orangeburg.
Then a bride, now, in the cold en-
brace of death, He claimed her
on the threshold of young mother
hood-just as-when, For the
first time she felt her first born's
breath. Z"
Says writer, "We live in deeds
not words" So it was with this
dear girl. Everybody loved her
because of her good deeds. And
they will never die.

University, which resulted in sep
arating Claffin College from Clsf-
