Our Georgia friend is doubtless
getting rich on Georgia molasses.
But my how can he charge such an
extortionate price for his ~sop," while
others sell it for 80 cents per gallon,
and to tell the truth it can be bought
for less than that price, less the
freight. With undue temerity In
the face of qualified statements as
to the price of Georgia molasses, this
correspondent asserts that he obtains
as high price as Is cents per gallon
for his yrup. Now brother if you
have any more syrup to sell don't de-
ceive your customers so by causing
them to believe that your syrup is of
such high grade that it may be COM
pared to sea island cotton. OF course
we know that there is different grades
of cotton, but not quite such differ
ence in the short staple that it can't
be compared to the unadulterated
Georgia molasses. The Georgia mo-
lasses is good, and it's intrinsic value
is not over 80 cents per gallon, and
this means the pure unadulterated
kind. Georgia syrup can be recon-
mended highly because believe that
it is made principally by white labor
ers, but I do not mean to say that
colored labor is not good for the
manufacture of the good thing, but
when it is made by white labor we
are more assured that it is cooked
with greater cleanliness, and I don't
mean to say that "some" colored
folks are not cleanly with it.
Again would remind the Georgia
correspondent that was speaking
of the wholesale price of Georgia
syrup. and not the retail price. Sure
ly he must sell all of his at retail to
the 'tservile'' kind of labor, and sure
ly they must be the most servile.
Well, slavery has long since been
abolished in America, but l must
say this has It's kinship with that
awful practice.
would recommend the following
as good precept for (my friend)
extortioner:
''Let your light SO shine before
men that they seeing your good
works will glorify your Father which
&ft In Heaven"
MY reference to Georgia and the
divorce law was only joke, and 1
beg the pardon Of my Carolina
friends whom have recently made
their abode in that fair State. One
can hardly condemn State for the
divorce law, for If I am not misin-
formed all of the States in the Union
have the divorce law, save South
Carolina and condemn it's existence
in one State, would be to condemn
It in practically the entire Union. l
must say though that South Carolina
in my opinion can boast of the proud
honor of always taking the lead in
matters pertaining to the best ad-
ministration from an ethical and CIV
ie standpoint. I believe that the
quotation, First in war, first in
peace, and first in the hearts OF his
countrymen" is more. applicable to
the Palmetto" State than any State
in the Union. Was it not South Caro-
lima that led the States South Of
Mason's and Dixon's line into that
bloody conflict of the SOS? Was it
not South Carolina's famous states
man that exclaimed in the great con-
gress in the face of bitter antagon-
ism: Truth, Justice and then the
constitution. These burning words
were supported by sons of the stamp
of Marion Sumter and others of no
less note and heroism who suppress
ed and unrooted Britain's tyrannous
rule from our shores.
But we shall not close without
measuring unto fair Georgia her
share of distinguished honor. 1t was
Georgia that furnished the great
Dougles, the master champion OF
the South's cause, who antagonized
Mr.. Lincoln on the great issue "abo-
lition." Mr.. Douglass only mistake
was he thought slavery to be just
and constitutional. Indeed it was
constitutional until the addition OF
the 18th amendment. Mr.. Douglas
bore the distinguished honor of the
vice-presidency Of the confederacy.
