Mr.. Tracy is one Of the abest and most
honest lawyers in this city" he said "and he
was simply unfortunate in his business trans

NEGROES OWNED NEGROES.

NEGROES OWNED NEGROES.
Perhaps everybody else knows that
there used to be in the South not
a few negro owners of negro slaves,
but some detailed information OH
the subject given The Charleston
News and Courier is the first we had
ever heard Of such thing, and we
are immodest enough to believe that
not many people in the North will
fail to share our surprise.
1t seems that in Charleston itself,
just before the war broke out,
there were not only many free ne
grOes with property running well up
into the thousands, but the list of
taxpayers for 1860 shows that there
were 1872 of them from whom was
collected an impost of So each on
one or more slaves Of their own race
Of the colored Charlestonians, two
had fourteen slaves each, ano'h +
owned thirteen, three owned twelve,
and so on downward. How they
came into possession Of their slaves
that is, whether by Inheritance,
gift, or purchase-The News and
Courier says it does not know, bu5
old residents of the city say that the
black slaVe-owners acquired their
chattels exactly as did the white
people and managed them In very
much the same way, often hiring
them out to other employers, and, of
course, taking all their wages. They
had no special prejudice against
the institution" nor could they be
expected to have, since to many Of
them, or their immediate ancestors,
slavery had been familiar in Africa,
a fact that is often forgotten.
And there were negro slavehold-
ers in other parts Of the South-in
Columbus, Ga, for instance, where
one Bob Parker did a trucking bust
ness with fourteen drays and the
black drivers thereof included among
his property, besides a number Of
negro women and children. And Of
certain Dilsey Pope, in The same
city, it is related that she owned
her own husband. Him she hire d
out until he offended her in some
manner not recorded, and then she
punished him by selling him to Col.
Seaborn Jones for a price now for
gotten. These well-to-do free per-
sons of color, according to The News
and Courier, had no political privi-
leges, and, of course, such a thing
for them as "social equality" had
not even been imagined, but they
were amply protected in all their
civil rights, could engage in any bus
mess they pleased, and their DE-
scendants are still the colored aris-
tocracy of Charleston.

FOR THE LIVING ROOM
A Little Care In Decoration Brings
Good Results.

II the family sitting room must be
furnished with the discarded draw
ing-room furniture. much will be add
ed to the attractiveness of the room
If cretonae in pretty flower effects is
bought And slip cover made for
each article of furniture.
An old haircloth set of chairs and
sofas was by this means converted
into a very charming living room set:
the slips completely Disgusting the
native ugliness of the chairs.
Cretonne of the same pattern was
used for window valances and hang
ings.
In the room mentioned the wall
paper and floor coverings were plain
in tone. When these are figured it is
scarcely possible to introduce figured
furniture coverings and hangings.
The effect is too confusing. 1t will be
found possible. however, to dye old
carpets and rugs the color OF the tone
prevailing In the chintz. This is not
expensive.
An old handicapped table was
covered with this same plain tone,
bordered by the lowered cretonne.
1t was a sunny room. with a bay
window, the cushioned seat Of which
was also done in the cretonne, and
lie wEple effect was delightful.
