Eolored Odd Fellows.

The Grand Lodge Of Colored Odt
Fellows convening in Manning made II
somewhat of a gala week with the
colored people, and which attracted a
large and we'll behaved crowd from al
over the County. Thursday was the
big day, and the parade with two
brass bands was quite imposing. The
officers from the various bodies through
out the State wore beautiful regalias:
and the entire paraphernia was very
good indeed.
After the parade L. NJ. Rice Esq. OF
Greeville delivered the annual address
in the Court room. On account OF the
immense crowd we could not get in the
Court room, and therefore had to des-
pense with the hearing the delivery OF
what is said to have been a we'll pre-
pared address and eloquently delivered.
Before the grand officers were con-
Quoted upstairs to the Court room,
Providence ebrass band, a group OF
musicians who were not instructed by
Sousa rendered great strains on the
plaza, for the entertainment of the
country sisters who responded their
appreciation by dancing and keeping
time to the toots of the brass horns.
Music hath its charms is truism we'll
demonstrated when music can be
strained through such horns and cause
people to stand around al day with
empty stomachs waiting until the
band begins to play so that their feet
and hands may dance with JOY.
The following officers were elected
and installed on Thursday night at
Trinity A. NJ. E. church:
D. G. MI. W. Williams, Columbia.
D. D. G. MI. Carson, Union.
D. G. S.-W. H. Rutherford, Colum-
bia
D. G. Thames Lowndes, Columbia.
D. G. oh. J. Grant, Beaufort.
D. G. I. Ds.-Rev. Rev. J. G. Will
liams, Sumter: r. a. White, Manning:
I. J. McCotrie, Georgetown.
D. G. M. a. W. Rose. Charleston.
D. G. C.-Rev. J. S. Marrant, Cnar-
lesion.
The whole affair was conducted well
and the visitors seemed to have enjoyed
their stay here. The committee in
charge of the entertainment can be con-
graduated on conducting such a large
entertainment without having any
thing to occur to detract from the pro-
ceedings or cast reflection upon the
colored race.

Farmers Institute.

President Thos. E. Miller of the
State Colored Normal and Industrial
College at Orangeburg was here on
last Friday and delivered an address to
the colored farmers institute. The at.
tendance was not as large as it should
have been, but that may be account
ed for, by the fact that there had been
a week of speech making, and at the
hour Miller had set for his speech, the
Odd Fellows celebrating committee
had previously arranged for a barbecue
in another part of town. No man
whether he be white or black cares tc
feast on wind pudding when by going
of piece he can enjoy himself with
barbecued beef and mutton, and he will
take his chances on the results. AS we
have already said the attendance was
small, many of his most appreciative
auditors were white men.
The speech was most practical ag'
ricultural talk. He told how to prepare
lands, and his advice was not from
book theory, but from actual exper-
ience. He urged them to devote more
attention to home made manures, and
dispense with commercial fertilizers.
That they were yearly making:5be fer.
tilizer people richer and themselves
and their'lands poorer; that they should
not plant all cotton, but devo5e atten'
ton to the raising of grain and hogs
He said that clean water and shade IS
the best preventive against cholera.
Miller's speech made strong i'm
preston, it was teeming with good
sound, practical thought, but when he
cot on the necessity for an exhibit from
his people for the Charleston eXposi.
ton, his pleading with them to come
forward with their handiwork was
grandly eloquent. He told his race
that they need not look to politics fol
hope, for there was none, their only
hope was in their mussle and on the
farm. He said, ''Stick to the farm, the
towns are already crowded and cannot
support all OF you; stick to the farm
and be independent citizens. Stick tt
the farm and if you will do your proper
part YOU and the white man will live il
harmony, for he needs you anc you neet
him. There is nothing in the town:
and saw mills for you but q debasec
manhood, but on the farm is an inspi
ration to ennoble YOU"
After he finished his splendid addres:
he Immediately left for St. Paul, where
he was booked for another institute
and where he expected large crowe
to greet him.

NOT AN HEREDITARY HABIT.

1t is now commended by men of science
that the old idea hat drunkenness is
hereditary is exploded, is baseless. We
knew a nan who was for a long time
a desperate drinker. who had eight
sons. all of whom were men of strict
sobriety but one, who in old age fell
a victim to the bad habit. No man
ever inherited a love of liquor. Indulg-
ing in drinking fixes the habit without
hereditary faint or excuse. A COM
mittee selected by the London -
cal Society was appointed to investi-
gate the theory of heredity in
drunkenness. They have reached a
conclusion. The committee is COM
posed of five physicians, two surgeons,
a professor of bacteriology, an army
surgeon and five general practitioners.
After eighteen months of investigation
of all phases of drunkenness under all
sorts of conditions and environments
the committee has made a report which
completely upsets man. of the favor
lite notions of temperance reformers.
The committee declares that there is
no evidence in the history of the race
that acquired characters of any kind
are hereditable." They appeal to phys
iology, biology and botany. SO it is
impossible that a craving for drink
should be transmitted from a drunken
| father to his children. If there were a
law faithfully enforced putting every
man in Jail for n year who was dis
| covered to be intoxicated n to be re-
| peated upon every offense. it would
end the debaucheries of most men who
| say they cant help it, for it was
born in them. They got in their
| present bad fix by deliberate, constant
indulgence. Half of the drunkards
| quit for a time. Stop drinking and the
| craving will die out.

Wilmington. Delaware, a negro named

beans eaten by the boarders OF a ne
gro man named Amos Ellegood, was
sentenced to receive sixty lashes and
pay a fine of $1,000 and to stand one

his poisoned victims. he should pay a
much heavier penalty. You see that
crime is not sectional. In -four outrages

southern humanity is that rape and
murder of white women deserve
death. swift and unerring. Let no ten
der-hearted governors ever dare to save
the neck of a brute guilty of such a
hellish crime. We learn from a northern
paper of two other lynchings: Milton
Calvert, a negro. was lynched at Crit
fifth. Miss, on Tuesday, for IN at
tempted assault on a young white girl.
He was caught after a short race and
hanged to a oak tree. He confessed the
crime. Another negro was shot to
death at Pheba, near by, for refusing
to leave the country. He had been liv-
ing with a white woman. and was re-
peatedly ordered to leave. Failing to
go. he was shot dead by a mob of
whites.
