ArbOr Day,

Governor Powers has issued his proc.

as Arbor Day. In this he sensibly says
II earnestly recommend to all people
in this State that they observe the day
by the planting of trees, shrubs and
vines for the adornment of their homes,
the identifying of their fields, their
school grounds and roadways."
81 am persuaded that the influence OF
such an observance, with concert Of eff
fort, will ever be ennobing and benefi-
cent, and will bear witness Ia the years
to come that we, caring for the future,
devoted this day to identifying and In
creasing the value of our estates"

Leigh, Il highly respectable colored barber
and Peter Broadnax. q negro politician
and ex-convict. Broadnax assaulted
Leigh because the latter had declared
himself for white supremacy in the re-
cent election. The quarrel took place at
Ia negro festival, from which Leigh was
invited TO absent himself by Broadnax.
Leigh declined TO go away, saying it was
a public place at church and the whole
public was invited. He added
that he was as much entitled
to be there as any other
person. The whole crowd assembled en-.
dorsed the conduct of Broadnax, includ-
ing Sam Pngh. another barber, from
whom the Democrats of the community
had withdrawn their patronage on ac-
count of extreme mti-white supremacy
utterances on the part of Pugh during
the recent campaign. Leigh finally re-
tired from the church TO avoid a diff
|culty. The crowd pursued him in less
than five minutes. Upon their approach
himself and shot Broadnax through the
lung. The latter viii probably die.
Leigh intended to go TO his home in

did not postpone his trip on account of

await his trial before the Halifax Grim
inal court. He will be represented by

WOOD APPOINTS JUDGES.
Well Known Cubans Connected Will

The Santiago Bar Association.
Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 26.-ThC
Bandera Cuban. a weekly paper of this
city, takes an opposite view to the other
papers regarding the importation into
the island of negro colonists from
Kansas The paper says that all that
should be required is that the immigrants
be of good character and willing t.
work. and declares further that the
Cubans have no right to object fn the
immigrants on account of their color
as the negroes have made equally pa
triotic efforts with the whites to secure
the liberty of Cuba and consequently nc
objection should be made to the coming
OF good negro colonists.
General Wood to-day appointed Senol
Eduardo Tamayo. chief justice of the
Supreme Court, and Seniors Jose Berale
and NJ. Del. Mandulay, associate jus
tees. The chief justice will receive IA
salary of $1,000 per annum and each
of the associates a salary of $1,000
These are about half the salaries paid
the chief justice and associate justices
during the Spanish regime. but owing to
the fact that the officials now receive
full pay instead of as before being paid
less than half of their salaries. the posi-
tons arc really worth more than they
We're during Spanish regime.
The appointees are well-known Cubans
who have been connected with the bar
association of Santiago for years. and
have held many important positions
and their appointment apparently gives
satisfaction to all classes of inhabitants
The Cuban. Spanish and American
residents of Santiago recognizing the
great value to the province of the ser
vices of General Wood are considering
the matter of having the Generals por-
trait painted by celebrated artist to

AN EXODUS OF NEGROES.
Leaving South Carolina on Account
of the Phoenix Trouble.


Columbia, S. c.. Dec. 2O.-(speciaD. y
The negroes of Greenwood county have
begun to emigrate. 1t is thought that sew
eral hundred will leave in the next few
weeks Several carloads of them have
gone since last week. They are moving
to the lower part of Mississippi. An en-
igration agent went into the county some
time after the Phoenix race riots. a
Greenwood man says:
There is no denying the fact that the
negroes in populous sections of this coun-
ty are badly demoralized They are in
some places still panic stricken on ac-
count of the Phoenix trouble. They have
not been molested, but has the unreason-
ing fear of their real friends so common
to ignorance. The negroes of Saluda,
Ninety-SiX and Phoenix will hardly make
contracts for another year.
THE financial depression has borne
heavily on the negroes, making them more
disheartened. The merchants have en-
forced collections to the restitution Of
many families.
Under the circumstances this exodus
is expected to thin out the over-abundant
negro population of this county consider
ably. II is the colored renters who are
getting off. AS "A consequence some of
the best land in the county win be occu-
pied by white renters hereafter"
