BrownfeId TO Hang.

John Brownfield, the negro barber
of Georgetown, who killed the
deputy sheriff of that county some
three years ago, will be arraigned
and resentenced at the next term of
the Court of General Sessions. The
Supreme Court of the United States
has affirmed the decision of both the
Circuit Court and the State Supreme
Court, Brownfield having been SEN
fenced to death at the term CT the
former court when he was first tried.
His attorneys at that time appealed
to the State Supreme Court which
affirmed the decision of the lower
court. The case was then carried to
the highest tribunal which now re-
fuses to alter the sentence or to
grant a new trial. Brownfield's case
is one which has attracted national
attention, and the fact that there
we're no negroes on the jury which
sat on his case was an argument freely
used by the lovers of the black race,
and was the ground on which appeal
was taken.

"MaryIand, Ny Maryland" /"

Mr.. James r. Randall, the author
of "Maryland, My Maryland" has
been in Columbia recently and was
interviewed by reporter for The
State, to whom he gave an interest
ing account of the origin of the fa-
nous song. Mr.. Randall is one of
the most genial and entertaining
gentleman of our acquaintance, and
he is modesty itself when his literary
work is the theme of conversation.
In personal intimacy of more than
thirty years we have never known
him to make any allusion to "Mary-
land, My Maryland" although we
were familiar with the general facts
connected with its production, and
we are sure that our readers will be
glad to learn the account of it's
origin, which is akin to "Dixie' in
its power to arouse an audience when
Confederate memories are being re-
called. Mr.. Randall is reported as
! follows:
"In the year 1861 l was, though q
very young man, professor at Poy-
dras College, Parish of Pointe
Coupee, La. This college had been
built and endowed by a rich Creole
planter. 1t was situated on lake
about seven miles from the Missis-
sippi river, in region largely de-
voted to sugar cane production, the
inhabitants being chiefly of French
descent and habitually speaking that
language. To get our mail at that
time we had to SO to the post Office
at village on the river bank. One
day in April / rode over there and
received copy of the New Orleans
Delta which contained graphic ac-
count of the passage of the Massa-
chusetts regiment through Baltimore,
my native city, and the sanguinary
encounter with a crowd of infuriated
men who proposed to resist all in
vasion of Virginia soil. This nara
tive infamed my soul and, as l at
that time had the gift of poetry, the
thoughts surgiDg in my brain took
the shape of verse. That night l
could not sleep and 1 seemed to be
tormented into song. / rose from
my bed, lit a candle and began to
write at my desk. The metre of one
of James Clarence Mangan's poems
instinctively presented itself as a
proper vehicle of what / wished to
express and / with some rapidity
wrought out, maryland, My Mary
land The next morning | re-
touched the poem, polished it here
and there, and thel read it to my
pupils, who received it with enthusi-
asm. copied and sent it to The
Delta for publication. My expecta.
ton was that it would contribute
somewhat to the lyrical history of
the day, but hardly anticipated
what really happened. Since that
time l have written poems that are
more artistic than maryland, My
Maryland but this one poem seems
to cling to me in way to eclipse all
other productions of mine, and for
many years / have abandoned all at
tempts at poetic cultivation, partly
because of necessity and partly be-
cause became interested in practi-
cal prose writing. Sometimes when
| look back on my romantic youth,
it is hard to believe that / am the
same individual, so radical has been
the transformation. But, you only
asked for the, genesis of My Mary
land,' and must not be tempted 20
intrude upon your time or space by
psychologist or other reminiscential
musing."

Terrible Automobile Race.

A great automobile race which
was to have been from Paris, France,
to Madrid, Spain, was commenced
last Sunday, but had to be discon-
tinued because of the numerous acci-
dents. Of course, the racers did not
want to discontinue. Both the
French and Spanish governments
found it necessary to issue prohibi-
tive-orders. There was large num-
Der of starters, including a half
dozen or more American millionaires.
The first stretch of the race was
from Versailles to Bordeaux, a dis
tance of 343 miles. Fully one hun
dred thousand people assembled at
Versailles to see the start. The con-
testants were allowed to start one at
a time. After eight hours and
twenty-seven minutes it was reported
that Luis Renault had arrived at
Bordeaux. Then came the news of
the arrival of others. Later on there
were reports of various disasters.
The machine of one M. Horton was
overturned at a railroad crossing, and
Horton was killed. The Chauffeur
fell under the machine and was
burned to death as the result of the
explosion that followed. A Mr..
Stead was caught under his machine,
which overturned in ditch, and his
chaffeur. was thrown thirty or forty
feet and badly bruised. At one
place two soldiers and child were
killed and at another place a woman
who attempted to cross the road was
mangled beyond recognition. 1t is
stated that Luis Renault made por-
tions of his trip at the rate of $50
miles an hour.

our Fre,ie school system: |

There are some who do not be-
lieye our free school system is sue
cess. s
Ono point is perfectly clear. G ar
educational system seems to be edu-
eating men and women away from
the dignity of labor. We are pro-
ducing an army of clerks, type
writer's, lawyers, doctors, aspiring
politicians, etc., but nobody to plow
and harrow. Nobody is willing to
do the manual labor, and yet we
know that after all an immense
amount of manual work must be
done.
Now, if we add to this army an
other army of skilled artisans In
bric-a-brac making, if we now intro
duce everywhere an elaborate system
of making paper flowers, tatting,
crocheting and ornaments in wood
and iron, who is going to make the
gardens and till the fields and WELD
the hammer and plane ?
In this, our progressive age, the
country seems to be going theory
A,sAe'N' ~ ". CIV fSSibSo w OouO0tS, Ou-
ucate and train. Yet we know that
all the worlds leaders and thinkers
have come upon the plane of actions
by their own inherent force.
Edison is not the product of an in
stitute of technology, nor was Frank
lin. Nor were Shakespeare, Dickens
and Poe the product of an elaborate
educational system. The State can
not do everything for the individual
nor will college endowment funds.
The fellow who has the real material
in him will come to the. top and the
fellow who does not have it will not
stay there if you educate him there
by an elaborate system. You will
only succeed in making him nuis-
ance. You will run the risk of put
ting him in the penitentiary for for
gerysor burglary. You may make
him an anarchist ora socialist. You
cannot make him philosopher and
you may not make him even an in
dustrious man and good citizen.

An Exodus Of Negroes,

Boston, June 1.-Plans have been
completed by secret organization,
with headquarters here, for great
negro exodus from the South.
The plan of the society, which
numbers 500 members, is to depopu-
late the entire South and Southwest
OF negroes, who will be brought
North ~to Boston and thence dis
tributed throughout the West in
agricultural and mining communities.
The first great body of immigrants,
5000, will land in Boston about the
first of July, the society 3 leaders say.
The Southern headquarters of the
society are in Georgia, but the pre-
else location is kept secret in fear of
mob violence or interference from
the whites. Secret agents of the
society are now gathering negroes
from all parts of the South.
