Boston and the Negro.

A Southerner writing from Boston to
the Charlotte Observer tells of the I'M
mense audiences which greeted Booker
IT. Washington at the Old South Church,
and adds.
81 have seen Boston people look openly
disgruntled and edge as far away as pos
sibfe from negroes who were seated oy
them in the street cars. The man in
charge of the box Office of one of the large
theatres here told me last week that ne
had been obliged to exchange some seats
because the purchasers were unwilling to
sit by negro. Iasked if they were South
Iern people, and he did not think they
were.
"The proprietor of well-known res
taurant told me few days ago that he
had just charged negro 81. 40 for dinner
) which would have cost any one else 81
cents.
eThe same day the following incident
was told me: A negro entered barber
shop near here and asked barber for
shave. The barber at first refused, but
! the law is on the negro's side. He told
the negro that he would have to wait, ano
after about an hours time he re-appeareo
I with razor which he had fixed for the
purpose.
ssHe had taken an old one and hao
Hammered on it with something heavy
8 until it was dented and the edge broken
i'm several places. He said to the negro
: The law compels me to give you a shave
but by George, this is what am going te
dot with The negro gave one look al
the razor and fed.
collectively, the people here seem te
be anxious for the intellectual and mora
Improvement of the negro. But when il
comes to individuals it seems to me that
there is just as much prejudice as in the
South"

A Positive Engagement.

Mrs. Cummings was busy at her desk
when Ned, an "old-time" darkey who had
been servant in her family since abefor

many apologies for the interruption ask

1.-TWO weeks from today. Why, think
so, Ned. What are you woing to do in

"I want>to 60 to fun'al, Miss Sally, a

none of Neds "set" could afford to pay

Ehrhardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, January 2.-The first day
of 1905 can be booked down with us as an
exceptional fine day, ideal weather. Rev.
P. E. Monroe preached very fine sermon
to large and attentive audience at Ehr-
hardt Lutheran church. After the SER
mon, communion was given to the con-
gregation.
The Methodist church at this place was
filled Sunday night with an attentive
audience to hear Rev. T. L. Belvin, who
has been assigned to this charge for this
year. Rev. E. NJ. McKissick left for his
charge at Gibson, N. c., last week.
The last week in last year was mostly a
loafpg week with the coons, and as is
usually the case they always at their
meetings use their razors and pistols for
other than shaving and target practice.
! One darkey buried and another cut up
and will be sometime before he can work.
The slump in cotton has caused several
of them to work for wages in place OF
running farm, as they intended to do.
1t might be good turn for us that cotton
has gone so low. Last fall when cotton
was selling for fancy prices no other bus
mess could thrive, as the hands would do
nothing else but pick cotton.
Mr.. Ben Loadholt has opened up a
stock of goods in Mr. j. c. Kinard's store.
Mr.. J. A. Chassereau has closed his store.
There is an artist set up in town. He
gets some work to do every day.
The material train had an accident last
week at Caldwells The train broke loose
and when the engine stopped at the tank
to take water the grade was enough down
to make the part broken loose run into
part attached to engine, breaking up a
fat car and injuring a box for the hands
to stay in. No one hurt.
The council will have two parties up
today for breaking the rules last week.

CAROLlNA'S COTTON CROP.
Two Hundred Thousand Bales Of the Staple Not
Yet Sold.

The new year has dawned with prosper
ity and good feeling all over South
Carolina. The cotton situation is seri-
Gus one, but fortunately the terrible
slump came after the State had gotten
fully on it's feet in financial sense, and
the bulk of the cotton now being held is
in the hands of those best able to hold it
A. representative of large cotton buying
firm was here from New York about ten
days ago, and he has persistently tried to
buy cotton, but in the ten days he has
not bought over two hundred bales. This
shows that there is no disposition to sell,
and that the holders do not have to sell.
The next question is: Is the cotton heres
It certainly is, and it is being held for
better prices, and those who hold it are
not going to sell at present prices, simply
because they do not have to.
A close observer from Orangeburg
county, the banner cotton county of this
State, and the second largest cotton pro-
ducing county in the country, according
to the census, has about 10000 bales on
hand, in the possession of the original
producers. It is estimated that Orange.
burg county raised this year $4,000 bales
of cotton, and of this amount it is stated
that 5000 bales are now being held in
Amelia township alone, and the remain
ing fifteen or twenty townships Of Or.
angeburg county hold enough to make a
total of 10000 bales in the hands of the
producers in that county.
It is this way in Anderson, and in fact
all over the State. A gentleman from
Anderson county said the other day that
the cotton mills are holding cotton for
the farmers, and that in addition the ware
houses over the State are well filed with
cotton.
1t is estimated that fully 100000 bales
of cotton are being held in South Caroli-
ma, which, at ten cents pound, are worth
about $1O000,000. It is further stated
that most of the cotton mills have bought
pretty freely and have their supplies on
hand, with allowances for filing in orders
from the home territory. Many of the
cotton mills Of the State bought cotton
when it was very much higher than it is
to-day.
