ably less than tho annual average for
the last ten years. And, in the second
place, the figures with which we
are dealing are those of the certified

now detained under care than was
formerly the case. We cannot after
all, be sure that tho proportion Of in-
sanity is increasing; all that we know
is that the number of persons ccrtifi-

ing.
Even with these deductions, how

The storm and Strcts of the modern
world, the strain mon the nerves. the
pressure of the struggle for life: these
are the supposed cauSes for a growth
of insanity. Yet it is in the agricul-

madness may be near allied: but the

This country is growing mad
every year. Such is the distressing
fact which seems to confront us in the
report Of the commissioners in mnacy
Ten years ago there was one madman
to every 314 of the population; to,
day the proportion is one to every 2S3.
Whereas the increase in the total
population during the ten years has

population has been ?2.7 per cent,
These are serious Fl, 0res. They suc-

not so bad as it looks. In the first

MIR. sEABRooK's RESIGNATION.

1t is matter Of deep regret to his
many friends in Ncwbcrry that tho
Rev. w. L. Scabrook has rendered his
resignation Of the pastoratc of the
Lutheran Church of the Rcdeemer.
During his stay in Ncwbcrry Mr.
Seabrook has worked hard and faith
fully for his congregation and for
the good Of the community and of the
church and state generally That lie
has been successful is evidenced by
the result Of his labors.
His work has not been confined to
the limits of his congregation. but
he has made many personal friends
outside, on whose lives his Influence
has had its effect. He is Of that
nature and disposition personally
that enables him to nal" warm
friends and to hold them
AS preacher he has = played a
high order Of ability. Col not one
step beyond the creed Of is church
he is Vet liberal in his vicwS---that
lihcrality which shows Il "gh, ana
stndy and depth of soul.
Rnt II Is rs pastor. visiting the
homes where SORROW was, that he has
been. closest to his people. Sympathc-
tic always. when his people have
walked in the shadow o. gricf, he
has been With them and the ::r;ef has
been lis also. hccau<r lie ha> not only
been the pastor Of the members Of
his congregation. INT he has been
their friend and companion.
We earnestly hope that Mr.. Sea-
brook may see his way clear to con-
tinuc with us.

When Mr.. Dixon'S play, the
"ClanSman," was being presented
throughout the south, there was a
great wall, because. it was said. to
recall the scenes portrayed in the
drama would open anew old wounds
and make harder the solution of the
race problem. This season the "Clans-
man. was booked for number Of
southern cities, but on account of re-
cent clashes between the whites and
the blacks, il was decided best by the
management of the play that all dates
in southern cities should be cancelled,
and this was done. Perhaps, just at
the present time. this was wise.
1t appears TO us that red shirt
parade at the state fair would be sub
ject to the same objections rs those
urged against the presentation of the
"Clansman.' We would not forget
the mfaltering courage and the un-
swerving devotion to duty of the men
who followed Hampton in 1876 and
redeemed South Carolina from negro
rule. 1t is our duty to keep alive the
memories of those days, and to teach
succeeding generations that their
Fathers were men who feared not to
die in defence Of South Carolina and
Of white supremacy
But would il he wise, with the riots
III Atlanta and other southern cities
30 fresh in the minds of the south
crn people, to have red shirt parade
in Columbia during fair week? If
trouble comes it will be met. and tive
result is as sure as is the course Of
civilization. But if it should ever
come, and we hope it will not, we will
have the rapist and the incendiary
to deal with. instead Of those in the
open. and the greatest sufferers win
be those whom it is the duty of men
to protect.
1t is well to let the negro under
stand this is the white man $ country.
But is it not well to do that which
might incite III the breasts of the
white people, or might have tend
ency so to do, race hatred that
might bring on trouble which could
be prevented.

THANKSGIVING.

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving
day. And upon this day, we are
expected to return thanks for the
good fortune that has attended our
way through: the years journey.
1t Is true that this country has
suffered much during the past
year; earthquakes, storms, wrecks.
floods, and disasters of various
kinds have come and left dcsola-
in their paths; and short crops are
the rewards to many planters for a
years toll. But in spite OF all these
facts, we venture the assertion and
fear no contradiction, that there is
not a man, woman or child in this
broad land of ours who has not
something for which to be thankful
Let us remember that good fortune
Is not always what we deem
1t. What may seem to us good for
tune, may in truth be the greatest
misfortune. Those experiences
that have made us sad, that have
cost Us much, may be the very
things for which we should return
thanks; they may be the most
fortunate events in our lives. He
is happy main who can see in all
life's events, conditions and
changes, the directing hand of
kind Providence.
