MORE "CoLoR LINZ"

The Advertiser persists in it's en-
deavor to incite feeling between the
white and native citizens of this
Territory, and TO draw the unsought
and unwarranted "color line" here.
Were it not for the fact that the
morning paper is the official organ
of the local administration and Of
the dominant political party, its
utterances in this regard might be
accepted as mere funnyisms. But
by virtue of.its implied and genuine
pose as the sponsor OF Dole, Carter
e. Co., it's effort to create race hatred
and an un-American social division
calls for more than ordinary consid-
GRAFTON. The end of it's hope is, Of
course, to secure from Congress a
modification of the Organic Act
whereby the native Hawaiian may
be disfranchised, and the influence,
power and control be once more
transferred to the clutches OF itself
and its missionary clientel.

Out of great calamities are born
brave and noble spirite, is an axiom
the truthfulnes of which has been
observed on many occasions, and this
one has been no exception to the
general rule. With spirit of COM
mendable enterprise and undismayed
pluck, the men who witnessed the
destruction of vast amount of their
property, have gone manfully to work
to repair the damage TO their ills
wrought by the food. The debris is
being removed and the good material

The Inconvenience of the Fork peo-
pie in reaching the court Oh: Q in he
discharge of the duties of citizenship
was never more demonstrated than
by the recent food and it,emphasized
the necessity Of building free
bridge across the Ssluds river, and
the sooner it is done the better it
will be for all parties concerned.
Some of those who had business
at court, not knowing that they could
cross at Dre hers ferry, went around
and crossed the Sa!uda at the new
bridge spanning the river flom the
Saluda side to Newberry.
But then, We are glad to know,
our County Commissioners are still
considering the prej ct of build
ing the bridge aid connecting the
two sections of the county. OF course
there are obstacles in the way at
present to prevent the consumnation
OF this much desired end but as soon
as all arrangements can be made and
all the o5sts c es overccmed, the bridge
will certainly be built. j. A. Muller,
the clerk of the Board, has some very
Gue drawings and plans of bridges
on file in his ofice and doubtless a
a selection of bridge will be made
from one of them. The County Com
missiouers are giving this subject
their most careful and thoughtful
attention and whatever action may be
taken in the matter, We are satisfied
that it will be for the best interest of
the county as they see it. In the
meantime we Can only wait with pa
tience, and hope for the best.

We are sorry to notice that there
is an avowed purpose by some OF the
Republicans up North to make the
negro question an issue in the next
Presidential election. 1t is unwise,
to put it in mildly, to force this issue
upon the people, because no possible
good can come out of the agitation
and only harm to the negro will re-

Ii the two.for-s-penny politicians
would only let the question seVerely
alone, it would soon settle itself,
to the entire satisfaction of sll parties.
concerned. Iodeed the South has long
since settled the question in so far as
clothing the negro with the elective
franchise is concerned, and under the
dehvsrances of the Supreme court in
several test cases, the question will
remain settled for long, long, time
to come.
It is admitted By many of the
leading members of the Republican
party, and the Northern people 10
general, hat it WAS almost fatal
mistake to have conferred upon
the negro the right Of the elective
franchise and it is best for the integ-
rity of the government that the ex-
ercise of this right should be restrict
ed to those who are able to use it in
telligently. This is the proper way
to deal with the matter, and the
South, having found out the mistake
by ten long years Of dear experience
of ne gro rule, has solved the negro
problem, the settlement of which is
upheld and sustained by the Q. S.
Supreme Court. Those who know
the negro best, his habite, his Wants

The experiments which are being
made in several sections of the county
in the culture of >bacco. have IN
every Instance met the expectation OF
those who have the enterprise IN
hand. Reports received at this Office
are, without exception, that TIE
growing tobscco is looking *
tremely well and it the plants con

planted. to tobacco.
A correspondent in late issue OF
the Columbia State, says that com
mission men are now making arrange
ments to handle the tobacco crop
of the county, which promises the
tobacco grower q home market this
season.
To sum up tbe whole situation
these pioneers in the cultivation of
tobacco have demo nstrated by actual
test and personal experience that
tobacco can be made one of the pay
ing crops of the county and as it lis
marketed at a time when money will
come in mighty handy to the farmers
in paying the expenses of gathering
other products of the farm, it is safe
to say that next year 1t will b. exten-
