4 colored individual who glories in
the name Of 7. Thomas Fortune, resi-
dent Of the city Of New York, has re-
Gently been indulging in some very
rabid rote in reference to President Nc
Kinley and his Southern tour. he is
quoted as saying at Negro mass meet
ing in Washington:
II am glad the blessing Of the Crea-
tor was asked for Bill Mckinley, for if
anybody needs it he does. He is now
down South glorifying rebellion, mo-
bocraey and the murder of women and
children. I wish that every Negro stood
where I stazd, for if they did for the
thirty Neogro men who were murdered
in Wilmington, thirty white assassins
would now fill graves. I am the grand
son CT Southern white villain, and he
would lynch me for looking at a white
woman. The biggest organization in
this country is the so-called Southern
Che7alier Of the South. l despised
Hayes, but he was a Solomon to this
modern thing that comes from Ohio.
I believe that the man who is false to
his friend is false to his God. want
the man I fought for to fight for me
and if he don't I feel like stabbing him.
{Cries from the audience, "Stab him.
Stab himpD II I had power I would
concentrate the supreme court in one
large neck and then use the proverbial
African razor. Grover Cleveland had
more backbone in his big toe than Nc.
Kinley has in his back. l want mixed
schools and I want mixed marriages; |
want mixed churches and I want equal
rights in ever thing"
Such character as Fortune should be
suppressed, and if he will come South
and indulge in such talk as is quoted
above We guarantee he will be suppress
ed. Anarchism requires strong hand
to SUPPRESS it, and the man who
boldly advocates assassination, the ap-
plying Of the torch, who talks Of the
president and the supreme court in
such fashion, should be suppressed and
at once. Such man is an enemy to his
own race.

TIE SECOND SOUTH CAROLINA.
Savannah Had Become Attached to
Them and They to Savannah.

The Second South Carolina boys Tues
day morning made the biggest demons
tration Ct any Of the regiments which
have left Savannah for Cuba. The
boys seemed to have made preparations
for the grand march from the camp
through the streets down to the Gordon
wharf, where they boarded the transport
Roumania. They carried Transparent
cies and many were provided with small
United State flags with which they
ornamented the barrels of their rifles
Others carried the stars and stripes in
their hands which they continuously
kept waving at the large crowd which
had turned out to see them off and to
wish them a safe voyage. It was $50
o'clock when the regiment passed
through Bull street at route step and
the sidewalks were thickly lined with
people, who vociferously cheered the
departing soldiers. The ladies waved
their handkerchiefs and the Carolinian1
in appreciation Of the compliment,
noisily saluted them with their joyous
company cry.
The boys were all in good humor and
happy spirits. They regretted leaving
Savannah, where they we're the reeipi-
ents Of so many marked attentions, but
they were anxious to get to Cuba, which
was Sheir objective point when they en-
listed.
About halfway Of the regiment one Of
the soldiers carried a large sized trans
parency on which was printed, "We
Shall never forget the good people Of
Savannah" Une Of the privates was
followed by his mascot, q small sized
black and tan terrier, which vas eov-
cred with brown blanket. On the
blanket was inscribed, "To hell with
Jacksonville, three cheers for Savan-
nah" The innocent canine, walking
along. attracted considerable attention
and the sign he bore provoked both
laughter and cheers from the crowd.
Other boys carried along with them in
their arms for mascots game roosters.
and there were countless cats and dogs
taken along.

port of its statement the last speech OF
the ex-presidept Of the Confederaey at
Mississippi City, in 1888, is quoted, as
follows:
"Men in whose hands the destinies Of
our southland lie, for love Of her I
break ny silence to speak to you few
words of respectful admonition. The
past is dead-let it bury its dead, its
hopes, and it's aspirations; before you

PAULLING's MURDERERs.
The Other Two of the Assassins Cap
tured at Manning.

The Manning correspondent of The
State under date of December 26, says:
'Messrs. GarricS and Adams, two
young men from Fort Motto, Orange
burg county, arrived here last night in
search of parties implicated in the muir
der of Paulling at Fort Motto about 10
days ago. II seems that Paulling was
shot while in an intoxicated condition
out in the edge of that town. his pock-
cts rifed and he left in dying condi
ton. There were four negroes in the
party at the time Of the shooting. Two
Of them were captured and placed in
the Orangeburg Jail, while the other
two, John Taylor and Major Green, es-
capped. Messrs. Adams and Garrick
upon arriving here secured the assist
ance Of Policemen Higgins and Clark
this morning and in short while ar
rested both Taylor and Green. A
search warrant was secured and Green's
house searched. A small watch was
found which was identified by the Fort
Motto deputies as Paulllngs watch.
Green says the watch was pawned to
him. Taylor admits that he was with
the party when Paulling was killed, but
that negro by the name Of Werby, he
thinks, fired the pistol. Werby is now
in Orangeburg jail Green has wife
here, but travelled about considerably.
John Taylor says he lived good deal
in Fairfield county and came down here
to spend Christmas The prisoners
will be taken back across the river to
Orangeburg county, where, it is said,
that the law will be allowed to take its
course and that they will not be moles,
ted unless the law fails to mete out

An Exciting Time For Which There
Was Really No Occasion.
AS passenger train on the Hannibal
was pulling out tall countryman, IN
cum bered with four bundles, scythe
snath, an Ak handle, bag Of bananas
and small boy, came out Of the depot
and began to take his bearings. Up and
down the tracks his gaze wandered, up
and down the long lines Of coaches
drawn up under the sheds, and at last,
ss the rear coach was passing him, he
caught sight of the moving train.
"Come on, Freddie! Thar she goes!"
he yelled and began to transfer some Of
his belongings from his right hand to
his left as he ran. Freddie made an
amazing record for one whose legs were
so short, and they were soon beside the
steps on the rear end of the last coach.
There was man standing on the plat
form.
ebay, stop 'er, stop 'er!'' cried Fred
dies pa. "Put on that ar wind brake,
misserl Pull that ar rope up over your
heaQ ana MAKE er sGOp!
But the man only reached down and
caught Freddie, who was leaping and
swinging and dragging by turns in his
vain efforts to make his short legs
stretch far enough to get his feet On the
lower step. Pa held on to him with one
hand and the man on the platform
finally succeeded in drawing him up.
Pa slung the banana bag after him. 1t
slid on across the platform and went
overheard on the other side. Pa made a
leap for the steps, dropped bundle and
stopped to pick it up. The recovery OF
the bundle took but a second, but the
train was getting we'll under way and
was tails length ahead when he be-
gan the chase again. One wild squirt,
with his coattails standing out behind
him, reckless leap, and pa, too, was
aboard, but bundle containing aa un-
dershirt had been lost in the tussle.
An,employee Of the depot picked the
bundle up, and section man who hap
pened by appropriated the bananas to
his own refreshment. The crowd that
had breathlessly awaited the result OF
the race melted away, and the depot at
tendants, who had been preparing to
pick pa up with shovels, went about
their duties.
Half an hour later a very angry man
came prancing down the depot platform.
he was holding a small boy by one
hand, and the ends OF an Ak handle and
scythe snath protruded from under his
arm.
It was pa. He approached a depot
official and said:

History Of Slavery.

Johns Hopkins university has issued
a circular containing an abstract Of an
article byJ. G. Ballagh. which was re-
Gently read before the Historical asso-
citation Of the university. Nr. Ballagh
gives very extensive and comprehen-
sive view Of slavery, tracing its history
from the earliest records. ais review
of the history Of slavery in this coun-
try is especially interesting. Massa-
ehusetts was the first If tee colonies to
give statutory recognition in slavery.
This recognition was ii, ne following
order: Massachusetts, :. 1641, Con-
necticut in 1850, Fir5Io;a in 1861,
Maryland in 1863, New York and New
Jersey in 1864, South Carolina in 1882,
Pennsylvania in 17O0, North Caro-
lima in 1715 and Gegrgia in 1855.
The definition Of full status by
the addition of incidents demanded by
social, economic and political reasons
was gradual, continuing through the
eighteenth century in the north and
until the second half of the nineteenth
century in the south. All the colonies
by duties tried to. restrict the undue
importation of slaves" 1t will be seen
that slavery was Hrecognized' by two
New England colonies before a south
ern colony took such action. The origi-
nal charter Of Georgia prohibited slav-
cry and the sale of rum, which was
then the most common intoxicant.
Mr. Ballsgh takes philosophic view Of
slavery when he says that it must be
considered as stage, the lowest per-
haps, in the development Of dependent
labor. ''In its use" he says, "as an
organized form Of dependent labor
slavery represents stage in progress
i've, social and industrial development
and is closely related with other forms
Of labor, such as English villanage, Eu-
ropean 7sssalage, American and French
colonial servitude and modern depend
ent free labor. The status Of slavery
in North America was as much native
development as it was in Africa, the
Spanish colonies and elsewhere. Both
in the case Of Indians and negroes it
passed first through the stage Of servi-
tude, limited in time in most Of the
English colonies if not in all. This
was certainly true Of Virginia, Mary
land, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania,
Georgia, North Carolina and South Car
olina. Slavery differed from servitude
chiefly in the perpetuity Of the loss OF
personal and civil liberty" Mr.. Bal
lagh brings out the interesting fact that
the first negroes brought to this country
were not slaves, but had the same stat
Us as white servants. The slave trade
in America was initiated in New Eng
land and became very large and profit
able industry to the thrifty Yankees
who engaged, in it. Mr. Ballagh has

under which the president would find

diers for duty in these Islands so long
as such duty was necessary: but with
the proyiso that when the necessity
ceases to exist, the army shall return to
its normal size and shall not be a con-
slant drain upon the pockets Of the tax
holders as would be the permanently in
creased regular army which the Repub-

one and certainly meets all the legiti-

Mr.. Bryan furnished means by which
the Democrats in congress could op-
pose the increase of the regular army
