SLAVERY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
ConViets Are Held in Prison Pens at
the Mercy Of Their Masters.

Slavery, in many respects worse
than that which existed before the
war of the rebellion, prevails in the
northern part of South Carolina.
Under contracts for labor and con.
Wet labor laws, negroes are held at
the mercy of white masters in prison
pens, and practically sold as in olden
days. This condition bids fair to de-
velop a national scandal.
Criminals of the state under the
law may be "farmed out" and are
kept in stockades, watched by guards
and worked at the will of the men
in whose charge they have been
placed. The employer and The
guards are deputized as marshals, and
under the law they are authorized to
punish the convicts, or even shoot
them.
The case which brought to light
these conditions was against j. S.
Newell for killing viii Hull, a negro.
Newell had shot HUI, it was declared.
while the latter was attempting to es-
cape from Newell's stockade. Inves-
tigation developed the fact that while
Newell leased leased state convicts,
no record of the conviction Of Hull
could be found.
The stockade is usually a long struc-
ture of rough hewn pine logs. 1t is
inadequately boarded in, and is cover
ed with shingles, which keep out
neither wind nor rain. Through the
length of the place luns an alleyway,
up and down which promenades Il
heavily armed guard.
The furnishings of the stockade are
of the most primitive kind. There is
no fireplace or other method of keep
ing the inmates warm. The unfor-
tunate negroes huddle together on
the floor, each covered by a thin
blanket. They never think of re
moving their clothing. The accom-
modations of the stockade are not to
be compared for comfort with the
quarter which, during slavery days
every master provided for his human
chattels, as a matter of course.
Convict stockades dot hundreds OF
farms in Anderson and other counties
Just how many of them number
among their inmates negroes who arc
held in bondage, without due process
of law or upon contracts, no one may
venture to say The state authori
ties and the people Of South Carolina
at large, however, are aroused, and in
quiry into the matter is being pushed

THE PROPHETS OF EVIL"

Hope maketh not ashamed" The
prophets of evil were not the builders Of
the republic nor in its crisis have they
saved it, The faith of the fathers was
mighty force in its creation, and the
faith of their descendants has wrought
its progress and furnished it's defenders
They are obstructionists who despair and
who would destroy confidence in the
for civilization the mighty problems rest
ing upon them The American people
entrenched in freedom at home, take
their love for ii with them wherever they
go, and they reject as mistaken and un-
worthy the doctrine that we lose our own
liberties by securing the enduring founda-
tons of liberty to others Our institu-
tons will not deteriorate by extension
and our sense of justice will not abate
under tropic suns in distant seas.
AS heretofore, so hereafter will the ma
ton demonstrate its fitness to administer
and new estate which events devolve
upon it, and in the fear of God will take
occasion by the hand and make the
bounds of freedom wider yet" If there
are those among us who would make
our way more difficult, we must not be
disheartened, but the more earnestly
dedicate ourselves to the task upon which
we have rightly entered. The path of
progress is seldom smooth.
Now things are often found hard to do
Our fathers found them so. We find
them so. They are inconvenient. They
made better for the effort and sacrifice
