CoLORED MEN APPOINTED.

For example, I made one such ap-
pointment in Mississippi and another
in Alabama shortly before my visit to
Charleston I had at that time ap-
pointed two colored men as judical
magistrates in the District of Colum-
bla. I have recently announced anoth-
er such appointment in New Orleans
and have just made one from Pennsyl-
yania. The great majority of my ap-
pointlnents in every State have been
of white men. North and South alike
it has been my sedulous endeavor to
appoint only men of high character
and good capacity, whether white or
black. But it has been my consistent
policy in every State where their
numbers warranted it to recognize
colored men Of good repute and stand
ing in making appointments to Office.
These appointments of colored men
have in no State made more than a
small proportion of the total number
of appointments. am unable to see
how can legitimately be asked to
make an exception for South Carolina.
In South Carolina to the four most
important positions in the State l

ed in Office fourth, all of them white

formed, the sons of Confederate sol
diers. ] have been informed; by the

do not intend to appoint any unfit

ly can shall always endeavor to pay
regard to the wishes and feelings of
the people of each locality, but I can
not consent to take the position that
the door of hope {the door of opportu-
nity) is to be shut upon any man, no
matter how worthy, purely upon the
grounds of race or color. Such an at
titude would, according to my convic
tions, be fundamentally wrong. If,
as you hold, the great bulk of the col
ored people are not yet fit in point of
character and influence to hold such
positions, it seems to me that it is
worth while putting premium upon
the effort among them to achieve the
character and standing which will fit
them.

Last year was an unfavorable one for
cotton production in nearly all sec
tions. In the South Atlantic States
excessive rains prevailed much of the
season and in Texas and the South
western States a disastrous drought
cut the crop short. In spite of these
adverse conditions the yield proved to
be 10,6Sl, 900 bales.
This year as a rule the season has
been favorable; stands we're perfect,
cultivation good, the crop matured
early, the Fall has been phenomenally
mild-no killing frost-the plant has
had ample time to ripen and the pick
ing season thus far all that could be
desired. It is therefore not improbable
that the crop this year will exceed that
of last year by some 800, 600 bales.
Very truly yours,

The PRESIDENT COLOR BLIND.
His Reply 10 Protests From Two
Charlestonians.
Ia the Matter Of the Appointment of DR..
Crum as Collector of the Port of
Charleston.
cial TO The News and Courier: !:


Washington, November 27.-Dr.
Crum and some of his colored friends
are making strenuous efforts to con-
vince President Roosevelt that the
charges of political treachery made
against Crum, in connection with
the Minneapolis Convention, are un-
founded, and appeal to the President
not to turn down Crum upon such
false accusations. They add that if ne
is to be turned down it can only be
because OF his color. In the meantime
the President has made no official an
nouncement, although he has said to
members of his administration and
Others with whom he has discussed the
subject that he cannot see how he can
appoint Crum collector of Charleston
in the face of the record that he was
once nominated for postmaster at
Charleston by Republican President
and failed of confirmation by a Re
puhlical Senate.
The question is still open, with
chances strongly against Crum's ap-
pointmet not being made.
THE PRESIDENTS PERSONAL
OPEN LEIIER.
The President has sent the following
communication to prominent citizen
Of Charleston, S. c.:

Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your let.
ter of November 20, and one from MIR.
-, under date OF November II, IN
reference to tie appointment of DR..
Crum as collector CT the port OF
Charleston.
In your letter you make certain spec
ifc charges against Dr.. Crum, tend
ing to show his unftness in several
respects for the Office sought. These
charges are entitled to the utmost
consideration from me and / shall
90 over them carefully before taking
any action. After making these
charges you add, as further reason
for opposition to him, that he is a color
ed man, and, after reciting the mis-.
deeds that followed carpe5-bag rule and
negro domination in South Carolina,
you say that we have sworn never
again to submit to the rule of the Afri-
can, and such an appointment as that
of DR.. Crum to any such Office forces
rs to protest unanimously against this
insult to the white blood;" and you
add that you understood me to say that
/ would never force negro on such a
community as yours.
THE POLITICAL BAR SINISTER.
Mr.. puts the objection of color
first, saying 9" First, he is colored
man, and that of itself ought to bar
him from the -cfice. - In view of these
last statements I think I ought to
make clear to you why I am concerned
and panied by your making them and
what my attitude is as regards all such
appointments. How any one could have
gained the idea that had said /

right colored men to Office, when OBJ

court of their color, [ confess / am

mission OF the secretary OF war, this
necessitating delay. The plans must in
addition be submitted to the engineer In

approval.
IL was to relieve the people OF the state
OF this annoyance that the hearing was
held, as the harbor commissioners had
asked the secretary OF war to establish
harbor lines by adopting the pnes al
ready esta blished by the state.
The secretary OF war is not willing to so
to the expense OF establishing a harbor
line where there is no government appro-
priation for Providence harbor the harbor
lines can be established.
Major George w. Goethals, the engineer
in charge OF this division. was present
and presented a plan OF the Seekonk and
Providence rivers with the harbor lines
marked on II from the Pawtucket stone
bridge to Fields Point and from Craw-
ford street bridge TO the same point.
These lines were Identical with those
laid out by the state. the exceptions OF
two slight deviations as recommended by
the harbor commissioners.
No objection was made by any one
present to the plsn aS presented. and
