BIease Talks to Red Men.-Cole L.
Blease, former governor Of South
Carolina, addressed several hundred
delegates attending the sixth district
convention and others here last night
on the subject of "Redmanship." He
stuck rather too close to his subject
to suit many in the audience who went
with the expectation Of hearing some
Of his alleged characteristic straight
from the shoulder talk. On the Other
hand the address applied strongly tc
the Red Men, 1t being a clear exposi-
tion Of the principles Of the order. The
speaker only once referred to his poll
tical career and that was when he de-
clared that the happicst times in his
life were when he, as chief executive
of South Carolina, signed papers CIV
ing liberty to more than 1,700 men.
He also asserted that not one Of these
paroled men had been sent back to
prison though nine months time has
elapsed since he went out Of Office. In
discussing Redmanship he declared
that the badges Of the order were
worn only by members Of the Caucau-
sian race, something that could not be
said about many Of the other fraternal
organizations. Mr. Blease spoke less
than half an hour, but was given an
attentive hearing and was enthusi-
astically received. Other speakers last
evening were Great Sachem Henderson
Of North Carolina, and Great Sachem

tion as effectual by staying away from
the polls and not voting as by going
to the polls and voting against a con-
vention. Nay, even more effectual for
by voting on the subject he swells the
number Of those registered and in
creases the chance Of the convention
being called under that clause Of the
act requiring that majority Of the
registered shall vote on the question.
Now, tits safe to assume that all the
negroes that go to the polls will vote
for a convention. Many Of them per-
haps will not vote at all and II none
Of the white people vote there Is a
probability that less than a majority
Of the registered voters will vote on the
question. II this be the case the con-
vention will be defeated.
II then the conservative white citi-
zens Of South Carolina are content
with the present constitution Of the
state, and do not desire to inaugurate
a negro anarchy, we advise them one
and all to stay away from the polls on
Tuesday and Wednesday.

Equality Before the LAVA dis
patch from Little Rock, Arkansas,
tells of three white men sentenced to
life Imprisonment for the robbery and
murder of a negro, a new thing, it is
said, in the history of the state. We
are glad to see it. The Progressive
Farmer believes in giving white neigh
brotherhood a chance to limit future
land sales to white people because
we believe this is simple justice for
the white man. and his wife and child
rem. White men with their families
do not butt into negro communities,
and negros should be prevented from
similar coming into white communi-
ties where they are not wanted. But
we believe in being just TO the negro
and protecting him in the justice eX-
ercise Of all his rights. In some con-
nection, too, we notice with some
pleasure this statement in the Nor
folk Journal and Guide:
1.-The courts of Tennessee have de-
cded that a white mans negro COM
mon law wife is entitled to his estate,
man and her children $4,000 left by
their white common law husband and
father"
This may not be just the right
plan for dealing with a shameful sit
uatiOn, but some remedy for it must
be found BY all means, If we can't
have any more severe punishment for
immoral white men, traitors to their
race and blood, let them be made to
suffer in pocket. We should like to
see the last one Of the guilty ones in
future fined, imprisoned and diSfran-
chised Farmer.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS
General Results Not Satisfactory tc
Democrats.
(To be Continued.)

General Results Not Satisfactory to
Democrats.
The off-year elections Of last Tues
day were Of national interest mainly
because Of such pointers as they may
throw out as to public endorsement OF
the Wilson administration, although
as we see it, there was not a great deal
in the situation to furnish convincing
evidence along that line.
Three Republican congressman were
elected in New York to fill unexpired
terms, and one Of them was from a dis
trict heretofore strongly Democratic.
The Republicans emphasize the cir
cumstances that the issues in all three
districts were only such as arise out
of the Democratic administration Of
affairs.
The Charlotte Observer of Thursday
gives the following conservative and
comprehensive editorial summary Of
the situation as it appeared to that
paper:
The Democrat who would find con-
ISOLATION in the defeat of the New York
constitution drafted by a convention
presided over by Elihu Root and which
was strongly advocated by him, goes
far afield for political encouragement.
Likewise, the Republican who thinks
the election of a Republican governor
Of Massachusetts is cause for throw
ing up his hat, is hard pressed to see
something good in the signs Of the
times Neither event bore political
significance of any kind. Massachu-
setts has countenanced a Democratic
governor merely for ornamental pur-
poses and never as an exhibit of
strength or integrity. 1t is a fact,
| though, that the Democrat can draw
but small comfort out Of the result in
New Jersey, where, out Of compliment
to President Wilson, if for no other
purpose, they should have kept down
the Republican strength in the legis-
lature. On the other hand, the Repub-
licans may think their part should
have done better. 1t is an off year,
however. and the Democrats may be
reasonably expected to bring about a
reversal in conditions in the election
when scalps are worth going for The
Democratic advantages in Maryland
are negligible, and in Philadelphia the
Republicans have returned but a lit
tie bit more completely into their own.
While tremendous majorties were
piled up against the women, the vote
cast for their cause may be regarded
as Of the pavingthe-way character.
We may be pretty sure that Colonel
Bryan will have an explanation for the
vote on the statewide prohibition
movement in Ohio and he can with
truth claim substantial gains for the
movement in that state, the majority Of
| year ago against the amendment
having been cut about half. We do
not see in the results of Tuesdays
elections where any of them will have
rooster.

Thursday Morning, Nov. IA, 1857
The Election of Next Tuesday.

The Election OF Next IueSoay.
We have heretofore refrained from
any expression Of opinion upon the
question of reconstruction under the
congressional plan. First, because OF
our unwillingness to assume a respon-
sibility not required Of us, and, Sec
ondly, because this paper has always
declined to take sides with any politi-
cal party upon political questions. In
the present aspect Of the reconstruc-
tion question we feel that our first
objection to advising is not a heavy one
and the second is no longer Of force
for there can be no party among the
intelligent voters Of South Carolina on
this subject.
Believing then that the plan Of re-
construction now before the people to
be decided on the 10Th and Goth Of this
month is one Of wrong and injustice
to our people, ruinous alike to their
prosperity and peace and destined II
successful, to convert our land into
desert waste, we do not hesitate to say
that this monstrous wrong should not
be consummated with their sanction.
Have we the people of this state any
means left us by which to oppose this
measure? We have; and the strongest
weapon Of self-defense we can use is
inaction. The following clause from
the military reconstruction act shows
1,-1I
majority of all the registered voters
must have voted either for or against
a convention. We give the paragraph
from the act:
IF majority of the votes given on
the question (for or against a con-
vention) be favorable then such con-
vention shall be held as hereinafter
provided; but if a majority be opposed
no such convention shall be held under
this act; provided that such convention
shall not be held unless a majority of
all such registered voters shall have
voted on the question of holding such
convention"
Gen. Canby's order for the election
also states:
THAT an election be held in the state
of South Carolina, commencing on
Tuesday, the 18th Of November, 1867
and ending Wednesday. the Goth of
November, 1867. at which all register
ed voters of said state may vote for
convention or against convention and
for delegates to constitute the conven-
ton in case a majority Of the votes
given on that question shall be for a
convention and in case a majority OF
the registered voters. shall have voted
on the question of holding such con-
vention."
So to hold a convention it is requis-
ite, first, that a majority Of all persons
registered shall vote on the subject of
a convention and, second, that a ma
jority of the votes polled be "for a
convention"
If either Of these propositions fail
a convention cannot be held. 1t is ap-
parent then that any registered voter
opposed to a convention being held in
South Carolina can make his opposi-

tie with Terkoz, set out toward the
west and the seacoast
He travelled very slowly, sleeping in
the jungle at night and reaching his
cabin late the following morning.
For several days he moved about
but little, only enough to gather what
fruit and nuts he required to satisfy
the demands Of hunger.
In ten days he was quite sound
again except for terrible, half healed
scar which, starting above his left eye,
ran across the top of his head, ending
at the right ear. 1t was the mark left
by Terkoz when he had torn the scalp
away.
During his convalescence Tarzan
tried to fashion a mantle from the
skin of Sabor, the tigar, which had
lain all this time in the cabin. But he
found the hide dried as stiff as a
board, he was forced to abandon his
cherished plan.
Then he determined to fitch what
few garments he could from one Of the
black men Of Mbonga's viggage, for he
had decided to mark his elevation
from the lower orders in every possi-
BILE manner, and nothing seemed to
him a more distinguishing badge OF
manhood than ornaments and clothing.
To this end, therefore, he collected
the various arm and leg ornaments he
had taken from the black warriors who
had succumbed to his swift and silent
moose and donned them all.
About his neck hung the golden
chain from which depended the dia-
mond incrusted locket Of his mother,
the Lady Alice. At his back was
culver Of arrows slung from a leather
shoulder belt, another piece Of loot
from some vanquished black.
About his wrist was belt Of tiny
strips Of rawhide fashioned by himself
as a support for the homemade scab-
bard in which hung his fathers hunt
ing knife. The long bow which had
been Kulonga's hung over his left
shoulder.
The young Lord Greystoke was in
deed strange and warlike figure, his
mass Of black hair falling to his shoul-
ders behind and cut with his hunting
knife to a rude bang upon his fore
head, that it might not fall before his
eyes.
Hair was commencing to grow upon
his face. All the apes had hair upon
theirs, but the black men were entirely
hairless, with very few exceptions.
True he had seen pictures in his
books Of men with great masses OF
hair upon lip and cheek and chin; but,
nevertheless, Tarzan was afraid. AL
most daily he whetted his keen knife
and scraped and whitfield at his young
beard to eradicate this degrading en-
blem Of apehood.
And so he learned to shave, rudely
and painfully, it is true, but neverthe-
less effectively.

The effect that the Panama Pacific

marked effect on the financial market.
Hence greater fields brought about by
more careful study and concentration

suit of the work in the agricultural de-
partment Of the exposition.

better farming, now that their crops
are harvested, are thronging to the
exposition, where they find the whole
world Of agriculture spread before

NO STATE ACTI0
ON WOMAN'S DEATH
Wilmington Woman Alleged to Have
Been Victim or Illegal Operation
Question of Jurisdiction

District Attorney Clarence 7. Niles Of
Pittstield, Mass, said yesterday that
the death of Mrs. Jessie Convey of Will
mington at the North Adams hospital
had been brought to his attention, but
that he probably would take no ac-
ton, as there was no evidence to show
whether the illegal operation which is
suspected in the ease was performed
in Vermont or in Massachusetts. Mrs.
Convey had been in North Adams about
a week previous to her death, and, it
is said, was treated by a North Ad-
ans physician. Her condition as re
suit of the alleged operation, it is said,
grew so precarious that she was re-
moved to the hospital where her death
occurred a North Adams physician,
supposed to have treated her, when
questioned by the police, said that sc
far as he was concerned there was no
illegal operation.
