man, but this proceeds rather from the
service habit than from any sense o.
moral obligation. OF course. there are.
honorable exceptions TO the rule we nave
staed.
The lack of the moral sense il found III
other phases of his life not proper TO pc
discussed in a newspaper article, ms
to our mind, is the most discourastit7
phase of the negro question, and II IS q
lamentable fact, as DR.. Peli points gu.
in another part OF his book, that those
to whom the negro looks for guidance ana
instruction, the preachers of his own race,
are in too many instances themselves
lacking in moral principle. and are there
fore incapable OF teaching good morals to
others.
In discussing the question Of negro edu-
cation. DR.. Pell very properly scouts the
idea that we should withhold our support
10 the negro schools because book learn
ing has not improved the negro's NOR
ais.
This failure says me- SIS too near
the surface for the argument TO convince
even those who make use Of it. !. 1t is
like saying that the left wing IS not COM
ing up: therefore, the right wing should
retire If the left wing is not gong 10
come up, the right wing may be COM
PEELED to retire: but the immediate busl-
ness is to bring up the left. II, the various
moral agencies which are at work among
the negroes continue to lag behind in their
work of improving the moral condition OF
the race, the State may be compelled TO
fall hack; but The immediate business Is
to bring up the moral wing.
Here is an interesting and a most inn
pcrtant question. For our part, we have
of the State to aid the black man in elu-
eating mis- children, and we do not counte.
nance the suggestion tina the school money
be apportoned so as to give to the negro
schools only that part Of the school money
that is paid in by the negro taxpayers.
But who is gong to teach the negro good
morals? in order TO perfect character
the educa ton of the heart and the edu-
cation of the mind must proceed together.
we believe that the State will attend TO
the cultivation of the black mans mind,
but who will attend to the cultivation of
his heart? Manifestiy that is a work out
side OF the government.

The New York Sun prints the following
from a correspondent al Columbia, S. c.:
BY October 18th there will practically not
be a bale of cotton left in the fields in
South Carolina 1t will be practically
over one-half a crop, However, allowing
for the extra cost of harvesting and mar
ket:ng, this years yield is worth TO the
farmers a full crop at about seven cents.
If it were not for the fact thai the corn,
potato and pea crops have been so serious
~ damaged the farmers would be Jubl-
liant As it is, they have more cash in
hand than for many years, and are paying
old debts. They say they see daylight ahead;
that even with 4 12,000, Go0-bale crop next
year cotton cannot sell below eight cents.
With the organization of cotton growers
and the warehouse system they hope 10
keep the price at about that figure.
All reports from the South go to show
that the people of this section of the
country are enjoying such prosperity as
they have not known for many years. No
better evidence of the South's growth
could be wanted than the increased earn
inss of the railroads from week 10 week.

Rev. Sidi H. Browne, editor Of the Christian
Neighbor, died last Friday night, aged 81 years
He was the oldest minister In the South Caro-
lima Conference. He was the founder of the
Christian Neighbor, and was Its editor from
1855 10 the day of his death. He was Presi.
dent of the South Carolina Peace Society.
His life work was for the Christian purity OF
the home. and his strongest efforts were made
/ sgainst the war-policy ofnstions. He believed
Sin peace and goodwill to all mankind. AS a
business man few men were his superior. He
had excellent judgment in business affairs
and accumulated handsome estate. He was
especially distinguished for high integreity
and strict honesty In business affairs. He
was good judge Of men. and was always
ready TO do kindness to all with whom he
came in contact. Having labored faithfully
for the Master during life he enters upon his
reward. Few men have done more good or
less harm than Sidi H. Browne.
Having had much business with him, the
editor OF the Press and Banner can bear testi-
mony to his worth as man and to his fideli.
ty in those matters which pertain to the spir.
itual. May he rest in peace.

The Cotton Mills,

We see by the newspapers that great mum.
ber Of the cotton mills will run on short time
for awhile. This course is made necessary
because OF the high price of cotton and the
low price OF cloth. The price of cotton is SC
high and the price Of cloth is 80 low, that. to
buy cotton now TO run the mills, would be a,
serious loss.
Owing to the hardship that is inflicted upon
the operatives by days Of idleness the man
agement OF the different mills regret the
necessity for this action. But the mills can
not bankrupt themselves to run their ma
chinery. Loss will be inflicted alike upon
stockholders and operatives by stopping. bu,
ruin would follow a long continuous run
under present conditions. In few days, OF
a month, 1t is possible that matters may ad.
just themselves, SO that continuous work may
follow in all the mills
