Views of the Negro Problem
North and South.

At the north we come close to
having ideal theories in regard to
the Negro. We preach the princi-
pies of equal political, civil, eco
nomic and educational opportuni-
ties. At the South, however, the
ory is modified by necessary prac-
tical considerations, with the result
that the actual treatment of the
Negro is better there than at the
north. In making this statement,
we have in mind, of course, simhly
those northern localities in which
the race problem is actual. a few
hundred Negroes in city of 200
inhabitants do not constitute a
problem, as a rule, and the white
citizens deserve no credit for letting
their black fellows alone. But snp-
pose that a prcpondering majority
of Negroes should immigratc into
Michigan or Ohio or New York; is
it to be inferred that these north
ern states would continue to.con-
denim Negro disfrrnchisement?
Would they welcome Negro COVER
nors and mayors, Negro legislatures
and city councils?

years ago and it left me with q case Of
kidney complaint. The result was q
lame, weak and aching back, and +:
have endured agony with it. Doan's
Kidney Pills have been a blessing in
my home. They Brought the first re-
def that / experienced In twenty
years. My wife also suffered severely
from backache, and there were other
evidences of kidney disorders, the
secretions being irregular and contain
ing a sediment. Since taking Doan's
Kidney Pills the kidney action has
been normal and the backache has
disappeared. She feels like another

Itinerary of the South Caro-
lima Press Association.

The route to be travelled by the
party OF the press association en-.
braces the most beautiful, widest
and picturesque in the United
States, and it has been said that no
American need leave his own coun-
try in search of beautiful scenery,
because no place in the known
world contains scenery grander and
more imposing than the Titan of
chasms, the grand canyons of Amer
lea. The great rivers in their mad
dening rush of rapids and falls, the
placid lakes of mirrored surface, the
gigantic trees and lofty mountains
presents scenes to satisfy the most
vivid imagination. All of them
will be visited by the press excur-
sionists on their trip. We publish
in another column of The TIMES a
time table showing where and at
what time the party will be at the
different places on their journey.

Why Prohibition is not Unan,
= imOuS.

The Gaffney Ledger says: ''Thc
dispensaryites and anti-dispensary-
ties argues that prohibition does
not prohibit. The -prohibitionists
proclaim that it does. If the liquor
clement can get all the liquor it
wants under prohibition and the
prohibitionists are pleased with the
workings Of the law. why not make
getting what they @ittfs? Both sides
hibition we sec no reason to COM
plain, while if we continue dispcn-
sarics and barrooms' the prohibi-
tionists will always be complain
ing"
We answer that the utter lack of
revenue from the sale of whiskey is
the only reason why all can't agree
and make prohibition unanimous.

Rev. ID. +. Camak is holding his
protracted meeting for the summer
at New Hope.
The third quarterly conference for
the Joncsvilc charge was held at
New Hope church last Wednesday.
Presiding Elder j. w. kilgo was
present and preached one of his
very helpful sermons. The attend
ancc of official brethren was good
and the financial report was better
than usual at the third quarter.
Mr.. f. l.. Eison was in our town
yesterday.
AS the election is drawing nigh
for the vote on the dispcnsary in
this county wish to put myself on
record as being opposed to the dis
ponsary and hope that it may be
voted out, not on political feelings
but on the score of temperance, law
and order. TO use Il political
phrase it seems that Senator Till
man is on the fence and that quite
number of people are on astraddlc
of the fence. Tillman wants to
know the people are going to vote
on the dispcnsary and the people
want to know how Tillman stands
on the dispensary. I think the
best way for men to vote on qucs-
tions like this is on their own good
judgment looking to the best inter
est for law, order, temperance and
good morals and leave politics out.
never leave it to what we call big
men how shall vote, for they are
just as apt to make mistakes as
anyone else. The best guide is to
take it to the Lord in prayer and
get inspiration from a pure source
and you will be sure to be right.

q PIea for Factory People.


Editor Textile Excelsior.
You may think we factory people
Are an unimportant lot,
And the reason why God made US
Was he kinder just forgot:
And after he'd created US
He thought he'd let us stay,
And scramble round on earth awhile
To pass the time away.
Well, know we're unimportant
In one sense of the word,
For to the trump of earthly fame
Our names are seldom heard.
But many of us have heart
That's noble, true and kind,
With sunny disposition
And gentle, loving mind.
Well divide with those in need
If we only have dime,
We know the Lord will give it back
To US some other time.
Our treasures are in heaven,
Not here in gold or rank.
We'd rather trust it to the Lord
Than put it in bank.
And thus it is while at our work
we card, we spin, or weave,
We are happy and contentcd,
And have but little time to gricvc,
While the rattle of the spindle,
The slubber or the loom
Puts sorrow, care or pain to flight,
Or dispels cloud of gloom.
We all forget our troubles
And our trials here below,
AS we listen to our shuttles
While they rattle to and fro.
Yes, VIC watch the busy shuttle
AS back and forth it speeds,
And with pleasure watch tho cut marks
A. coming through the reeds.
Oh If was a millionaire
Or financially so stout,
could own the whole of Huntsville
And the country round about.
| couldn't then BE- satisfied
Unless had to 60
And set my looms n running
When heard the whistle blow.
Say, you don't like factory people?
Well that's sinful declare,
III by chance you get to heaven
Ihere'l! be factory people there,
When there you meet with us you know
Please don't elevate your nose,
Well not have black oil on our hands
Nor cotton on our clothes.

Queer Matrimonial Advertisement That
Appeared In 1887.

Here is a curious matrimonial adj
vertisement, published in an Ameri-
can newspaper in 1881 Whether
the gentleman of "easy temper"
whose only mode of restraint was
"stinting" - which every woman
knows is Of all schemes the most dia-
bolical-found lady possessed of
all the enumerated PROJECTIONS who
was willing to hide them cannot at
this late date be ascertained:
"a middle aged gentleman barely
turned sixty and as yet unmarried is
DESTROYS Of altering his condition.
He has good estate, sound consti-
tuition and easy temper, and having
worn out the follies of youth will be
determined by reason in the choice
of the lady he intends to make hap
Ply. She must be upward of fifteen
and under twenty-five. Her size
must be moderate, her shape nat
ural, her person clean and her coun-
tenance pleasing. She must be live
ly in her humor, but not smart in
her conversation; sensible, but ut
terly unaffected with wit; her tenn
per without extremes, neither too
hasty and never sullen. Then she
must invariably observe all forms
of breeding in public places and
mixed company, but may lay them
all aside among her acquaintance.
She must have no affectation but that
of hiding her perfection, which her
own sex will forgive and the other
more quickly discover. She shall
be restrained in nothing, the gentle
man having observed that restraint
only makes good women bad and
bad women worse. In some things
perhaps she may be stinted, which
is the only method he will take to
signify his dislike to any part Of her
conduct. Any lady whose friends

THE HORSE WARNED HIM.
Audubon's Description of a Kentucky
Earthquake In 1912.

This vivid description of an
earthquake was written by Audu-
bon, the naturalist. 1t occurred in
the year 1912: "Traveling through
the barrens of Kentucky in the
month of November, | was jogging
on one afternoon when | remarked
sudden and strange darkness ris-
ing from the western horizon. [
had proceeded about a mile when [
heard what ] imagined to be the
distant rumbling of a violent tor"
nado, on which | spurred my steed,
with wish to gallop as fast as pos
sible to place Of shelter. But it
would not do. The animal knew
better than | what was forthcoming,
and instead of going faster so near
ly stopped that l remarked he placed
one foot after another on the ground
with such precaution as if walking
on a smooth sheet Of ice. | thought
he had suddenly foundered and,
speaking to him, was on the point of
dismounting and leading him, when
he all of sudden fell, groaning
piteously, hung his head, spread out
his four legs as if to Save himself
from falling, and stood stock still,
continuing to groan.
81 thought my horse was about to
die and would have sprung from his
back had a minute more elapsed. But
at that instant all the shrubs and
trees began to move from their very
roots, the ground rose and fell in
successive burrows, like the rufled
water of a lake, and 1 became be-
wildered in my ideas, as l too plain
ly discovered that all this awful COM
motion in nature was the result of
an earthquake. The fearful convul-
sion, however, lasted only few
minutes, and the heavens again
frightened as quickly as they had
become obscured. My horse brought
his feet to their natural position,
raised his head and galloped off as if
loose and frolicking without rider.
"Shock succeeded shock almost
every day or night for several weeks,
diminishing, however, SO gradually
as to dwindlS away into mere vibra-
lions Of the earth. Strange to say,
l for one became so accustomed to
the feeling as rather to enjoy the
fears manifested by Others. The
earthquake produced more serious
consequences in other places"
