Special to The S'ate.

Chester, Oct. G2.-Yesterday
was wedding day sure enough
with Chester people. At 3 pm.
Rev. John w. Neeley, pastor OF
East Chester circuit of the Meth
odist church, was married to Miss
Leila Anderson of Richburg.
They left in the evening for a
trip to Washington.
AT 8 p. M, III the Presbyterian
churca, IL. j. Z. Davidson, d
popular officer of the Carolina
q Northwestern railway, and
Miss Frances Stringtellow, one OF
the tairest flowers Of the Land of
Flowers, were united in marriage
by Rev. MIR. Wetmore of Lin
colnton, n. O., in the presence of
large audience, under the i'm
presslve ritual of the Episcopal
church. Mr.. and Mrs. Davidson
left at midnight for st. Angus tine
The third marriage was that OF
Mr.. w. IL. Lowrance, a popular
business man of Chester, and Miss
Minnie Holmes of Charlotte, NC.
The many trends of the three
couples extend sincere congratu-
laUions.
Mrs. Fannie Ehrlich, an aged
lady OF this place, died suddenly
Saturday of heart disease. The
body was taken to Charleston, her
naive city, for burial.
Col. 7. J. Cunningham, ap-
pointed to gather from gins the
number Of bales of cotton and
make report to the govern
ment, is at work. He feels sure
that from the figures so tar fur
nished him the crop will be con
siderably less than that Of last
year. The increased price over
that of last year will materially
help to compensate for the short
age In the yield.
Law-abiding citizens deprecate
and condemn the result of the
trial at Lexington last week, and
believe that such verdicts tend
strongly to augment the tendency
to homicides, now so alarmingly
prevalent in this state.

disagreement between Russia and
Japan and the utter breakdo wr
OF the much heralded "open door"
in MapCnuria has alarmed the
export merchants of the United
States, and they have sounded
note Of warning to President
Roosevelt and the Republican
leaders, that instead of aiding the
enlargement OIL our business IN
Asia, they have virtually closed
the door that was at least partly
open. That Russia will ever with
draw from Manchuria is not with
in the realm of probability; she
owns the railroads and the banks
there; the Chinese authorities
are subservient to the Russian
representatives in word, Man
churia is Russianized. The boast
of the administration that the
treaty just concluded with China
gives Us two open ports ia that
country is, therefore, worthless,
unless Russia opens their doors,
for she has the key to both Of
them. Even if these two ports
were open, are they of any value?
Mookden, one of the two. is on

slams. The other is village on
the coast, but there is no harbor,
and 50 shOal is The fling that no
man-of-war could approach with
in 90 miles. The merchant who
tries to get any trade through
these "open doors" will not bless
John Hay and the Republican
party.
The Sugar Trust, having bought
a controlling interest in its com
petitOr, the Beet Sugar Trust, the
fight so long Naged between the
Republican factions over Cuban
reciprocity will probably cease.
The reduction in the' duty on
sugar for which Cuban reciprocity
provides, will give the combined
trust an enormous bonus, amount
ing to millions of dollars on all
the raw sugar imported from Cuba
and, under the laws of trade, the
price of refined sugar should de-
cline at the same ratio. But the
trust is so fully protected by the
duty of about one and one quar-
ter cents pound on refined
sugar that the foreign article can
hardly be imported here to com
pete with the trust. Freight.
tariff duty and other charges
make the cost of importing for
eign refined sugar about equal to
the trust price. If raw and re-
fined sugar paid the same duty,
the trust would have to reduce
lis price accordingly and the con-
sumers of the United States
would buy their sugar at retail
for at least one cent pound less
than they now pay for it. That
is the reason the Democrats in
the last congress proposed and
passed through the house of rep.
resentatives the amendment to
the Cuban Reciprocity Bill abol-
ishing the extra tariff duty on re-
fined sugar, which is technically
called the discriminating duty.
When the Cuban reciprocity
measure comes up at the com
ing session of Congress, the
Democrats will offer the same
amendments. How many repub-
licans will be found voting with
them? The issue will be plain
one-the trust or the people.

WHAT A NEGRO PAPER SAYS.


needed, wholesome tonic for the
scores of idle and worthless
young colored men that lnfest the
dives and alleys and hangouts at
the depot stations and on the
street corners of this and other
ciUles-"Ilving easy" as Cney call
it, with not a single purpose In
!;fc but to exist add initiate the
fashionale debut Of some society
going white man who forms their
ideal. From this class of loafers
criminals and sneak thieves are
bred and much of the trouble
and disgrace of the race come.
Put the screws to them thirty
days tight or let them go to work
for an honest living or move on
to a land Of milk and honey,
where daily toll is an unknown
quantity. A pick for banjo,
shovel for a violin, a chain for
bow and Winchester for baton
will be a useful recreation.
The above article, head inclu-
ded, was clipped from the Easley
Progress, therefore we have no
means Of knowing what paper it
was taken from, but we rise to
remark that the sentiments ex-
pressed are along right lines and
indicates that its editor is a gen
tleman, notwithstanding his color.
Some how or other we cant
help but like good negro, and
to say that there are no good
ones is a base fabrication. We
admit that there are some very
trifling ones, but we haven't a
bit of use for them, but there are
some good ones left and we have
kind spot for them.
While on a trip over into North
Carolina last summer, an old dar-
key that worked on the planta
ton where the writer was part
ly raised, came several miles to
town for no other purpose than
to shake hands with us. His
wife also came with him. The
hearty grasp of his black hand,
made rough by toll, told more
eloquently than any words or
tongue that deep down in his
heart he was also glad to see US.
For two hours or more he sat un-
der the shade of the back porch
of respectable white lady and
Chatted with us OF old times. To
deny that we enjoyed the remin-
iscences would be TO falsify.
And yet there was no social
equality in it. None at all.
There was no unwarranted en-
bracing of colored people by a
white man, no intrusion by a COL
ored man into the presence of a
white man.
If our friends at the North
could for a moment understand
this feeling that exists between
the whites of the South and the
blacks, they would not bother
about the race question. If they
could understand the feelind that
cOmpels the whites to rise up in
their wrath against the unmen-
tionable crime of the black brute
they would not raise their voice
in denunciation. But, thank
heaven, all the negroes of the

That large oaks from little

Why not apply these truths to

omitted to mention some Of the busi-
ness men who have put their money
into business enterprises in that town.
There is o. S. Guam, the village
blacksmith, one of the best fellows on
earth, has a first-class shop, is doing
we'll, and appears to be giving general
satisfaction.
The West Hotel, presided over by
Boniface H. NJ. Hanson, is another in
stitution that is doing good service fo1
the people of Binford and vicinity.
Mr.. Hanson runs a good house and is
doing his level best to give the people
good service.
Probably one Of the most important
institutions in the city is the meat
market, owned and operated by Hans
Peterson, who keeps on hand a supply
of everything in his line and by giving
nice juicy cuts Of meats keeps the peo.
pie of Binford not only in good health
but in good spirits.

that the Courier is in favor Of
