Want a New Light.

There is a movement on foot among
the shipping men of this port to make
an effort to have a light of the first
class placed at the northwest point of
Molokai. named Lac ka lilo. The
petition is to be signed by all the local
captains and. as a matter of fact, by
all who are interested in the shipping
of these islands The San Francisco
agents of vessels coming to these ISL
ands will also be requested to join in
the petition, which is to be forwarded
to the authorities at Washington.
There is at present not a single light
which is of the slightest use to vessels
approaching from the north. The
Diamond Head light can not be seen
before a vessel is close off Koko Head
and the light at the southwest point of
Molokai is of absolutely no use to
channel between Molokai and this ISL
and is thus absolutely without any
light, and as the shipping is constant
iy increasing it is deemed a thing OF
the utmost Importance, especially as
many captains who are strangers in
these waters are constantly coming
here, that a good light be placed at
some point of chis channel to mark this
place in the night. There has been
some talk of having a light erected on
the eastern side of this island but
light on the Lac ka lilo is deemed
to be of more service to all concerned.

farms. The present renting system
ought to be revised so as to provide
for five and ten year leases Of these
old red hills, to Industrious, intelligent
Negroes, who would be encouraged to
improve the lands and make them
more productive. The system should
provide for the eviction Of a tenant

alike so long as both did their duty.
Speaking Of politics, Miller told his
hearers that this was a matter that
they should let severely alone. Il have

in this field. The less you have to do
with politics the better it will be for

Is a good speaker and a number Of
whites who heard what he had to say
thought very highly Of his speech.

have been pressed for trial. It is also
known that quite number Of other
prominent men have been mixed up
with this penitentiary scandal in a
manner no less compromising than was
the relations of Colonel Neal, and the
punishment of Colonel Neal, without
the punishment of the others, would
not have accomplished much in the
vindication of justice. AS has already
been remarked. therefore, we think
that in the conviction Of Colonel Neal
the jury did its duty, and in pardoning
him the governor made very proper
exercise of his power to extend mercy.
1t is to be hoped, however, that the
case will not be taken as a precedent,
and that in the event Of another scan
dal of this kind, all who may be par
ties to it will be punished to the full
extent of the law.

COUNTRY TRUCK PRODUCTS.

In conversation with a local dealer
a few days ago, the reporter picked up
some information about country truck
products that ought to be Of more or
less interest.
The dealer had on hands cabbage,
onions, sweet and Irish potatoes, ap-
Piles, peaches and beans, and the re-
porters curiosity as to where these
articles came from prompted some
inquiries.
Where did you get these cabbages?"
"The rusty looking ones came from
Lenoir, N. c., and that big pile over
there in the hampers came from Mr.
Hugh Gordon's, out here about six
miles in the country. They are much
better than the North Carolina pro-
duct; in fact they are as fine as you
ever saw anywhere. I would not sell
anything else If could get that kind
whenever wanted them; but they are
not to be had except occasionally, and
for that reason I have to depend on
North Carolina as the more reliable
source"
"And where did you get your on
ions?"
"They came from this county also
up at Wright's Cross Roads, near the
river. There are plenty Of them this
year. 1t has been an especially good
year for onions but the price is pretty
steep. am paying rs cents a bushel.'
How about sweet potatoes?"
"They are going to be plentiful this
year. When they first came in they
retailed at 81; but now I am selling
them at 80 cents. I expect, however
before the digging season is over, to
sell them at Is cents. They are worth
more than that, Of course: but the peo-
pie will glut the market with them
and sell them at that price rather than
take them back home. This will be the
case unless the producers put them up
and keep them through the winter. If
they do this, of course, the price need
not get so low"
Irish potatoes are also plentiful In
this locality this year. The crop was
a failure North; but 1t has been good
season for them here. I expect to be
offered plenty Of home-raised Irish po-
tatoes later on; but at this time I am
getting most of my supply from North
Carolina, where they are much cheap
er than they are farther north"

BY TOM MILLER.

DR.. Thomas E. Miller, president OF
the Colored Normal Industrial, Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college, at Or
angeburg, made a speech in the court
house at Yorkville, on Thursday, to an
audience Of Negroes, in behalf Of the
South Carolina Interstate and West
Indian exposition.
The exposition was the occasion of
DR.. Miller's visit, the subject OF his
speech, but he said great deal to his
audience that ought to prove Of inter-
est and value to the colored race gen.
orally.
Among other things the speaker said,
II am q Negro, and I am proud OF the
fact. There is nothing to be ashamed
of in that designation Of our race.
When I hear members Of my race de-
scribing themselves as colored gentle
men. or colored persons, it makes me
tired. There is and ought to be dis
tinction between the words Negro
and 'nigger.' A Negro should be con-
sidered a respectable citizen, while the
word niger should be applied to low
down Negro.
He said that all this talk about the
future of the Negro race was idle and
meaningless It Is not a question to
be considered. Negroes need not wor-
ry about the future; but they should
give more thought to the present. The
present relations Of the whites and the
blacks, thirty years after emancipa-
ton, was source Of wonder and graft
fication to him. The like had never
been known before in the history of the
world The Negro race had much
cause for congratulation over it's con-
dition under the circumstances, and If
it would continue to improve its con-
dition, 1t must look up to the white
race for guidance and protection. The
surest means by which the Negro can
improve his condition is by increasing
his respectability. Convicts are re-
ceived back from the chaingang and
penitentiary with open arms as he
roes. They should be considered as
outcast niggers. A Negro girl who
goes from the country to the town to
lead disreputable life, comes back to
preaching in the country and Is receiv-
ed as the belle of the meeting. NO re-
spectacle Negro should notice her. A
Negro who will notice her cannot be
respectable. For the fact that "all
white man, the better class Of Negroes
are responsible. If the better class of
Negroes would hold themselves above
the "niggers," the whites would soon
recognize the distinction.
The speaker told his hearers that but
few of them had business in the towns;

THE steel strikers have been check
mated at the McCutcheon mill, near
Pittsburg, by woman. 1t was known,
of course, that the mill men would get
non-union men to take the places OF
the strikers, and to prevent this the
strikers followed their usual custom IN
surrounding the mill with a picket
line, composed Of their friends. This
picket duty consisted in first attempt
ing to persuade the newcomers against
interference, and upon failure of per-
suasion they resort to taunts, and
then to force. At this place, however,
Mrs. Fred Baugh, wife of the superin-
tendent has placed herself in charge
Of the strike breakers and marches
them to and from the mills morning
and evening without interference. The
striker pickets claim that their hands
are tied because Mrs. Baugh has al
WAYS been kind to them. visiting the
sick Of their families and doing every
thing in her power to contribute to
their comfort, pleasure and enjoyment.
The incident, If true. and there Is no
reason to doubt it. not only shows the
value of kindness; but that these strik-
ers are not altogether bad.

WHEN Governor McSweeney refused
to accept the designations Of the SEN
ators that were sent to him, ne most
likely did not anticipate that there
would be campaign meetings at Lib
erty Hill, Westminster. Union, Chester
Spartanburg, Greenville, Walhalla, An
derson and Tirzah, and that other
points would be clamoring for other
meetings.-August Kohn.
Surely Mr.. Kohn does not call this a
campaign. UP to this time there is no
body excited except few of the pol
iticians. Had Governor McSweeney
not returned those designations, the
people would by this time be totally
unfit for ordinary business, and in their
excitement would probably be pulling
hair. AS matters stand, most people
who know how to think are thinking
and to the best possible advantage.
