The South, the Negro and Labor.
Hampton-C Columbian Magazine.

Hampton Columbian Magazine.
Governors and other leaders from
several Southern States recently con-
ferred in Baltimore on labor and in.
dustrial conditions in that section.
The reawakened South, industrially
and agricultIrally expanding at a
rate unknown since the Civil War,
needs labor. There is insistent de-
mand that European immigrants be
steered to the South to supply this
demand.
The negro is almost ignored in this
demand for immigration. He is set
down as hopeless, trifiing, futile, i'm
possible. But is it safe to rush to
that conclusion.
Though the white population of the
South is increasing more rapidly than
the black, and though every decen-
NAL census makes it more clear that
there is no possible danger of the
black, as once was feared. coming to
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES all this, the
fact remains that there are some
eleven millions of colored people in
the country. and that they cannot
he got rid of. There stands the hard
fact.
1t may be that the negro is not 20
desirable a worker in factory or field
as the immigrant; but if the imm-
grant takes his place, tne negro will
be left on the hands of society, de-
manding the means of livelihood,
menace to the community in greater
and greater degree just in proportion
as the hopelessness of his condition
is made more apparent.
If the Souths eleven million 1e-
groes could be traded off for eleven
millions of white. that would be a So
luton. But they cannot be. The ne
groes are there, and will stay there.
They must be provided for; made as
useful as possible; made to support
themselves.
To make the most, the best of its
negro workers is the first big duty of
the South. 1t is the most difficult
problem before the nation.
1t cannot be solved by the effort to
drive the negro out; he will not be
driven QUE He must be looked after.

An Aged Negro.

An old darkey walked into The
News office on Saturday morning
aad stated that he had been sent in
to have the fact recorded that he was
115 years old published in the paper.
He gave his name as Alfred Epps
and said he was born on the Epps
place about three miles out of town
and had lived there all his life He
was slave owned by DIR. James
EppS for Ga years until freedom
came. He can see perfectly without
glasses. talks intelligently and gets
around as easily as some much
younger men. When the editor ask
ed him how much longer he was go
ing to live he said "he put his trust
up yaAder." He is married and his
wife, Belinda Epps. is now 81 or IS
years old. Alfred says he was a
child with old man Whitmire. after
whom this town was named. and
they were brought up together. His
brother, Wade Epps, who lives in
Spartanburg. is two years older than
Alfred. He does not come of a long
lived family as his father was only
63 when he died.-Whitmire News.

Harper Weekly Explains Disappear
ahcc OF Governors Name from Ton
q. Editorial Column.

New York. Jan. 16.-The current
number Of Harper's Weekly contains
the following editorial announce
ment.
ITO Our Readers: We make the
following reply to many inquiries
tfom readers Of Harper's Weekly:
The name Of Woodrow Wilson as
our candidate for presideat. was taken
down from the head of these columns
IN response TO a statement made to
US directly by Gov. Wilson. to the eff
fect that our support was affecting
MS candidacy injuriously.
'The only course left open to us
iii simple fairness to Mr.. Wilson no
less than in consideration of our own
self-respect, was to cease to advocate
his nomination.
We make this explanation with
great reluctance and the deepest re-
gret. But We can not escape the
conclusion that the very considerable
number OF our readers, who have
co-operated earnestly and loyalty in
advancing movement which was in
augurated solely in the hope Of rem
dering high public service. are
clearly entitled TO this information"

TREE TAG DAY FOR SUMTER.
Money to be Raised on Friday, jan
uary 26th, to Save tic City Trees.

One week from today every man
and woman in the city will be ap-
preached on the streets and tagged
and it will be up to them to donate
some good real coin of the Uncle
Sam variety for the saving of Sum-
ter's trees. 1t will do no good to re-
fuse because on the very next cor
ner you will be tagged again and So
it will go all day There will be only
one way to avoid being CONSTANTLY
tagged and that will be to, buy your
tag and wear it all day long. The
women of the Civic League will in
augurate this day and are working
out all the details.
Sumter has many beautiful trees.
1t is the first thing that is noticed
and remarked upon by visitor: Un-
fortunately many of the best trees
have died for lack of proper care and
maly more will soon have to be cut
down unless they are ATTENDED to at
once. The life blood of many of
these trees is being sapped by the
mistletoe. Others should be prop
eriy trimmed and in mnay cases the
rotten parts must be cleaned away
and filled with cement. 1t takes an
expert 10 do this work. Otherwise
the trees are worse off than before.
The New York State Supreme Court
has decided that a tree is worth
$500. This was decided in the case
OF contractor who cut down a tree
and damages to that amount were
awarded and the Judgment was sus-
talned. The value of a well located
lot is increased by just about that
sum for every large shade tree there
on. 1t should be made crime to
destroy shade tree unnecessarily.
The money collected on Tree Tag
Day will be used by the Civic League
to secure experts to- properly trim
and care for the city trees and every
citizen should be glad 20 contribute
toward this work and to aid these
ladies. They have the hearty CO.
operation of the city authorities and
the Chamber of Commerce.

FLORENCE CHIEF SUSPENDED,
John j. kOOpnan, Head of Police.
Charged with UnbccOming Con-
duct.

florence, Jan. 16.-Chief of Police
John j. KOopman was suspended
f'om the police force of this city YES
terday by Mayor Gilbert, pending ac-
ton of the city council at its regular
meeting on Thursday night next.
Mayor Gilbert, when seen today
relative to the matter by this cor
1eSpondent stated that, from infor-
nation received, he had. by and with
tEe consent of a majority of the po-
lice committee from council. sus-
pended Chief KoOpman from the
force until the regular meeting Of
council, for conduct unbecoming an
officer, and that he hid likewise ap-
pointed Policeman John Farmer as
acting chief until that time Just
what the nature Of the charges were,
the mayor stated that they would be
forthcoming at council meeting. and
preferred not giving them out for
publication until they had been made
to the full council in session.
Some time ago charges were pre-
ferred against the chief to city coun-
ell, and they were referred to the DO
lice committee, with instructions to
report back to council That commit
tee reported that they found 40
fault serious enough to demand the
discharge of the chief, and so he was
eXonerated. On yesterday the COM
plants were again made, and the
mayor and majority Of the police
committee again took the matter up,
and the chief was retired.

Governor Blease's annual message

before the House and Senate. might
at glance give the impression that
ne has saved the state thousands OF
dollars by curtailing expenses In
some branches OF the government
and at the same time given the peo-
pie just as good government as they
could have had with any governor or
any amount Of money. His whole
message deals with cutting down the

because they would lessen the taxes
a little. But the wholesale cutting
recommended by him is not a sane
way tf dealing with the problems of
the State. A man burdened with the
present high cost of living might cut
expenses by wearing cheap cotton
clothing. wooden shoes. and going
bare headed. and eating plain cora
bread and water; but would 1t be
the proper thing to do? He would
soon lose his physical and mental vi
taiity. his social standing among his
friends. the respect of his fellow
man. his own self respect. and every
thing that would make him real
man. So with the government
