TRUE AS GOSPEL.
Governor Johnston, of Alabama,
rece ,t}v said

Governor Johnston, of Alabama.
recently said:
"When the Federal government
ceases to select the south as the
peculiar and exclusive field for the
appointment of negro officials and
refrain from interneddling in our
domestic affairs, ard the people of
the north shall come to the concIu-
sion that we are entirely capable of
Iegislating fer ourselves, and desire
only their sympathy and assistance
10 making better citizens Of negroes,
we shall have little difficulty IN solv
irg the race problem :"
Governor Jobns,on never uttered
truer words.
If negroes are fit to hold ofice in
the soreh'they are fit to hold office
in the north. There is more reason
for their appointment il The north
than in The south, because the white
people Of the south, regardless Of
politics, are almost unanimous in
their opposition to the bestowal of
official stations upon negroes, while
large proportion Of the white
people of the north pretend to believe
that negro is as good as q white
man and are continually protesting
theie love Of him and their profound
interest in bis welfare
The Federal appointing power
should give these prctessed best
fsiends OF the negro chance to
prove ;be sincerity of their regard
for him. Put few negroes in
postomces and other Federal Offices
in the north and we shall see toe
mask OF hypocrisy fall. By all means
give the negro official recognition !;
let him have share Of Federal
patronage, but give it to him only in
the sonth-tbis is the philosophy Of
the champion Of negro equality.
1t is probable that the adminissra
ton now realizes that it made a
serious b'under in appointing negroes
to Office in the south Why does it
no. make the experiment now in the

ueero soldiers Of. the Third North
Carolina regiment stationed here
intended to break out Of camp aud
destroy the city. aud much uueasine ess
has been felt both BY citizens and

The excitement among the negro

He went to Simmons bar aud called
for drink, % being told that the

a POINT IN CRIMINAL LAW.

Is case of murder to be tried in
the county where the affray occurred
or where the death occurs !? This is
question now before the people.
A man named Butler shot Henry
Ligon in Laurens County. Ligon,
after being wounded, went to Green
wood County, where he died from
tie effects of his wounds. A reward
of 800 was offered for the arrest Of
Butler. Sheriff McCravy, of Lau.
rens, arrested the man and will get
his reward. Now the question is
where will Butler be tried ? The
grand jury of Greenwood County,
upon the evidence presented, has
found true bill against Butler. The
coroner of Greenwood held the in
quest, and now the inquiry is
whether Sheriff McCravy should turn
,be prisoner over to the authorities
of Greenwood County or whether
Laurens County should try the case.

What Does ssProtocol'' Mean !?

In discussing the terms of the treaty
OF peace to be established between the
United States and Spain, we see the
word protocol" used quite frequent
ly, and, from the connection in which
it is used by some of our brethren OF
the press, we very much Doubt if they
have investigated the meaning of the
word.
If they will consult Webster's una
bridged dictionary, anong lot OF
other definitions they will find this:
"Protocol-The original copy of any
writing, as OF a treaty, dispatch or
instrument" PRoToi is a prefix from
the Greek, meaning first, and it is
used to express priority, as prototype.
In chemical language it denotes that
one element or substance unites with
another substance.
In diplomatic parlance this latter
idea is included. So the protocol of
peace between the United States and
Spain is the original draft OF an agree
ment, which is subject to further elabo-
ration, but the elements of which are
to unite and conform with the first
rough sketch outlined by President
Mckinley, and signed by Ambassador
Cambon on the part of Spain and by
Secretary Day on the part OF the Unit
ed States.
