= Ladson, sixteen-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. 0. p. Smawley, living
lear Landrum, was killed by shifting
freight train. He was walking down
the side track evidently intending to
catch the passenger train as it was
backing on the side track. The wheels
passed over his legs almost severing
them from his body.
Last week an attempted ass ault
was made near Barnwell. A negro en-
gagged in laying rails for the Atlanti
Coast Line pursued young white cir |
to her door. The negro was arrested,
given thirty-four lashes and told to
skip, which he did. Some hot heads
were in favor Of lynching, but as he
did not accomplish his purpose t he
wiser counsel prevailed.
= At the solicitation of friends an
relatives, supported by numerously
signed petitions, the sentence Of A. R.
Fowler, South Cardinals "armless for
GER has been committed by Governor
McSweeney from the penitentiary to
the Greenville county changing. He
is serving three years sentence, hav-
ing been sent to the penitentiary from
Greenville in February, 1898.
Last Saturday there were several
fatalities from lightning on the George
town Railroad. A log train was load
ing when thunder and hail storm
came up. Lightning struck near the
train and it is supposed to have run
on the telegraph wires jumping off to
the train. Two negroes who were
holding on to the chains were instantly
killed, while half dozen others we're
knocked down.
A strange incident occurred at the
Wesley Grove church, about seven
miles from Walterboro, Sunday after
noon. The colored congregation being
engaged in it's regular Sunday worship,
one Of the brethren, John Gadsden,
was called upon to ''lead in rayer. ;"
In response to the request he began to
pray, but before his supplication was
ccncluted lightning struck him and he
was lifted off the floor in an unconscious
condition and carried home by his
friends.
Last Saturday night while Con-
stable Samuel Tobias. Of Clarendon
county, was trailing William Dickson.
notorious horse thief and burglar,
he suddenly met him in the road with
another escaped convict. Before he
could use his gun, the constable was
fatally dubbed, his skull being crush
ed. The criminals had just robbed
the Manning depot of quantity Of
goods. They took the constable's
weapons and are still at large.

ant system, which kills the land and
dcmoralizcs the country.
1t behooves young men to look the
situation suuarely in the face. Those
of MS who have passed the meridian of
life cannot in the nature OF things live
to see the end, but as for myself shall
point out the way as it appears to me,
and contribute as best can to the So
luton of the race question on lines OF
humanity and justice. In the discus
sion there is no room Tor passion OF in
temperate language. The wild haran-
cues Of men who openly advise the
murder Of the l'olberts and keeping
the negro in Il state of quasi slavery,
and yet who always manage to get into
q safe place when the ball opens, de-
serve the contempt and eXecratlOn OF
oil right minded men. That is not the
way to bring peace and order in the
country and give the law an opp0rtu-
nifty to assert itself.
You will naturally ask why not cure
the evils Of cheap negro labor by ad-
vancing their wages and lift them up
from their present plane OF degrade
ton. The ready answer is found in
the fact that their methods OF work,
their habits Of life, their lack of intel
ligence and adaptation and thrift in
modern production does not justify it.
This has been tried within my knowl-
edge, with disappointment and loss as
the result.
The same argument was used on the
Pacific coast during the agitation OF
the Chinese labor question with the
same result.
You may look at the subject in every
one of it's possible phases, and come
back to the starting point, that the
negro, endowed as he is with every
civil and political right that the law
confers upon you and myself, cannot
and will not live in peace with the
white man, so long as he is i'll immedi-
ate contact with him. 1t never has
and never can be done. until the Crea-
tor of us all change the natures OF us
all. Lynchings, white Gaping, mob
law, every form OF lawlessness, con-
stantly menaces society, obstructs pro
gress, and keeps up state OF anxiety
while such contact exists.

GEN. BUTLER'S VIEWS.

Deportation.
Grce,,qr00d .InQc.r.

Mr.. Wyatt Aiken, Of Abbeville, last
night sent the Index the following let
ter received by him from Gen. NJ. c.
Butler. Gen. Butler deals with 4 mat
ter that is of great interest just at this
time, and his letter is intensely inter-
esting both on account of the boldness
of the position he takes and the caus-
tic manner in which he refers to Sena-
tor Tillman sand others" for their uU-
terances on the same subject. His let
ter is Us follows:
EDGEFIELD, S. c., Aug. 90.
Dear Wyatt: Thenewspaper accounts
of the state of affairs in Greenwood
county which take to be in the main
correct, portray a condition of affairs
truly deplorable. l am no apologist
for lawlessness at the hands of any
class of people. and offer no excuse for
it in Greenwood or any other county.
but in order to check it we must find
the causes that produce lawlessness
and apply an effective remedy, Pub
lie meetings and denunciation will not
cure the disease. You may plaster
over q sore on the human body and
conceal it for time, but if the disease
is in the blood it will break out some
! where else. A good doctor will strike
at the root of the disease, and eradi-
cate it there, while he applies palia-
tives on the surface.
So it is with the race question in this
country. Poor white men, who have
to "earn their bread by the sweat Of
their faces" cannot compete with cheap
negro labor. To attempt to do so i'm
plies their degradation and ultimate
destruction or expatriation. One race
or the other must 90 to the wall, and
without any other feelings toward the
negro race than that of absolute kind
ness and good will, l shall be found on
the side of my own race when that
issue is presented, as it is now, in my
opinion. Two races cannot live to-
gether in peace on terms Of equal civil
and political rights, and the sooner we
realize that the better it will be for
both races. The gradual and perma-
nent separation Of the races is the only
solution Of the terrible problem. The
bitterness between them is growing
more intense every day and will con-
tinue to increase in intensity as time
goes on, unless some practical remedy
is applied. Otherwise the day Of pain
full retribution is inevitable, and train
of calamities are in store for us too
distressing to contemplate. The fate
of the negro is pathetic, pitiable, as
things now are. The fate Of the labor
ing white is worse so, as he has to COM
pete with negro labor.
1t is very easy for Tillman and others
to denounce the lawlessness of the
poor white man, "the one gallus, wool
hat crowd; the poor farmer boy" Let
Mr.. Tillman and those who join him as
the guardians of the negro and present
denunciators Of the poor white man,
put themselves in his place, and walk

EDITOR THE ENTERPRISE:
Your editorial in current week edition
regarding the accident to Mr.. Baker
needs correction as to some statements
YOU make. The plain facts are these:
Our local freight train, 81, had pulled
up main side-track with cabOOse about
one car length from the sidewalk and
stood there while loading and unloading
merchandise at the platform. After
this work was done, the train was backed
down over the crossing to do their
switching and other work in the upper
yard.
Mr.. Baker came along just as the ca
boOse was slowly backing down. The
gates were lowered soon as the keeper
could do so after the train was in mo-
tion. A heavy snow was falling at the
time, which obstructed the view from
the tower.
Train-man on the rear end Of the ca
boOse shouted several times to Mr.. Baker
to keep off the track, but, he being hard
of hearing, cid not discover his danger
until the cabOOse struck his cart and
pushed it off the track and throwing him
down.
Mr.. Baker has no word of censure for
Mr.. Hanson and his handling of the
gates, all circumstances considered.
One fact should not be overlooked by
the public, when they are crossing the
tracks of the railway company, they art
equally interested in the protection Of
life where there is the least possibility
Of danger, and the fact that the company
have placed gates as a means of prOtec
tion should not relieve the public from
caution when passing over the track.
Mr.. Hanson has served this cOmpan!
some eighteen years in one position ant
another, giving usuniversal satisfaction
being reliable and faithful in the dis
charge of all duties assigned him.

WHAT MUST BE DONE WITH THE
PHILIPPINES.

THERE are many ways in which time
may be better spent than in speech-mak-
ing and resOlution-offering over the alb
stract or general question Of expansion.
As to these islands, we shall have duty
when they are really ours whichwecannot
have until then, no matter what the ex-
pansionists my have said to the contrary.
We must provide good and stable gov
ernment for them. We must send to
govern them the best administrative
officers we can find, men such as General
Wood has shown himself to be at Santi-
ago, and as General Ludlow is likely to
prove at HAVANA. We cannot send
such men as our Presidents have been
wont to appoint as governors of terri
tories, nor can we every four years re-
place with new and untried men those
who have gained experience and, what is
Of the utmost Importance, the confidence
Of the natives. We must have colon
ial service, and the colonial governor
must not only be wise and judiciOus
man, but he must not be hampered by
congress, or by politicians with pull.
He must have a wide discretion, some
thing that harmOnizes much better with
arbitrary than with democratic power,
because 1t is more esential to q power
that governs than to a servant Of self
governing people. His subOrdinates
must be trained members Of an estab-
lished service, and absolutely protected
against the wiles and whims of poll
ticans. These last must learn that they
cannot extend their spOils system to the
colonies, because, while we can stand
the eccentricities Of the heeler in Office
at home, subject races need something
better, and foreign powers are likely tC
resent what we may tolerate. In a word
spOils politics in distant lands, and on
what we my call tOuchy frontiers, simply
add to the dangers Of war which will bt
present for years to come in the part Of
the world in which we are expanding.
1t is to tasks such as this that con
gress should devote itself after the treaty
shall be ratified, instead Of to idle tall
about surrendering what has become Oul
own, for the tasks are pressing and prac
tical, but the idea Of surrender is hope
less fantasy .-Harper's Weekly.

at his home on Sunday morning, Janu-
ary s, 1899, became member OF THIS

assigned him with credit to himself and
to the order he loved so we'll, and we the
officers and members of said Council DO

The ENTERPRISE has nothing to re-
tract in regard to the article which
appeared last week, in reference to Mr..
Bakers narrow escape, and which the
above is reply. The facts as printed
last week was written after Mr.. Baker
had repeated his side Of the case three
different times, and we know that the
article in question is true in every par
ticular. Signals are always given by
the engineer as to the movements Of the
train, forward or backward, and the
tOwerman could not fail to hear them,
and il the train was backed across the
highway, without the gates being lower
ed, the negligence of the tower man is
apparent. We have no desire to enter
into any controversy with the railroad
company over this affair, but the people
of Wellington look to the gates as warn.
ing of danger, and expect the railroad
company see that the gates are lowered
when trains are about to pass or bacl
