THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.

The negroes who have been leav-
ing the South and flocking to the
North in the last few months, are be-
ginning to learn, and some of them
have already learned, that, "An is
not gold that ~glitters." In East st.
Louis, ILL.,, last week, negroes from
the South who had gone there to
take jobs in manufacturing and mu-
milton plants were ruthlessly attack
eddy whites and severely beaten for
no sfher reason than that they were
worrying in competition with white
labor The mayor has asked South
ern cities to discourage negro MI
grafton thither, and the negroes are
looking wistfully towards the South.
The acts of violence in the South,
while not to be justified, have gener-
ally had the excuse that the negroes
who have suffered have been guilty
of revolving crimes against the law
and humanity. The people of the
South have never lynched nor dealt
harshly with the negroes for doing
honest work. It is true that in GER
tain lines in this section the negro
cannot come into competition with
the whites, and they are segregated
in the matter of. work, as they should
be in the cars, in public places, and
in residence sections of the cities.
But the negro Can always find a
place upon the farms of the South,
and there his work is not only re-
m%unerative and healthful to the
race, but it is there that the white
man wants to see him. There is no
fear, that the industrious negro on
the farm will meet with violence on
the part of the white farmers, be-
cause there is no fear that competi-
ton will hurt either of the races.
The negroes are learning a lesson
we think. They will return to the
Southern farms where they belong,
and where their indulgent white
will be glad to see them.
They will be accorded that freedom
from harm which industry guaran-
tees and they may live contented so
long as they obey the laws and at
tend strictly to their own affairs.
They are learning their lesson.
And let us hope that we, too, are
learning ours. Here and there we
have had complaints that negroes are
mistreated and not given their des-
erts by their employers. For the
most part, we believe that there is
no foundation for these charges, but
the white rae would be more than
human if it was always right in deal
ing with the negroes. The lesson we
should learn is that the negro is the
best and most satisfactory labor we
can obtain for certain kinds of work,
there is work here which only he can
do. The climatic conditions r
such that the white race cannot do
certain work on which the negro
thrives. For that reason we need
the negro here, and if we want to
keep him here, we must be sure to
deal not only honestly, but leniently
and indulgently with him so long as
he fills the place which his race en-
titles him to fill. We need the ne
gro race in the South yet awhile,
i,,st &C the negro race will not exist

GIVE THE BOYS A CHANCE.

In a few weeks we will begin to
think about the next term of our
city schools. We should be thinking
about it now.
In another month the new Super
intendent will be here to take up his
work. He has made a success of the
schools in every city and town in
which he has worked. He will make
a success in Abbeville if we will help
him to succeed.
You remember that DR.. Lodge in
his fine address called attention to
the fact that we had only one boy
for four or five girls in the gradual
ing class the past year. But do you
know that Mr.. Riser doubled the
number of boys in the Manning High
School in the five years he taught
there?
We are wanting our boys in the
High School in Abbeville. We find
too many excuses for taking the boys
out of school and putting them to
work. The boys themselves find too
many excuses for getting into bust
ness. They see the great world NOV
ing, and they are anxious to get into
the midst of it. But there is nothing
which counts like preparation. The
badly equipped Russian soldier in
the great world war has cut but a
poor figure as against the magnii-
Gently equipped men on the Western
front. And there is nothing which
will take the place of an educational
equipment. The boys will find that
out more and more as the years 60
by. They need to know it now.
In the High School there will be
q mar to teach mathematics. Miss
Magill and two other ladies who
have had years of experience in the
High school work and who are
equipped for the work, as we'll as the
new Superintendent, who will do
some teaching, will be in the schools
next year. Better advantages than
ever before are offered the boys of
Abbeville. With a completed High
School education in Abbeville the
boy will be equipped for any line of
business except the professions. He
will have laid a foundation for
these. Without finishing the High
School work here the boys of Able
vile will enter the lists. u%nequipped
for the combat.
We hope that the parents and
guardians of children in the city will
make an effort to put the boys in
the High School next year so that
they may have the chance they de-
serve. Abbeville is nov receiving
state aid for the High School and any
body in the county has the right to
attend the school without the pay
ment of tuition. Under the law the
school as much belongs to the boy
outside of Abbeville as the boy in
the city. Parents residing within
a radius of eight and ten miles of
Abbeville, who cannot give the boys
the education they need at home,
should arrange to send them to this
vcboo1 With the motor carS which
are on almost every farm, there is
no reason why they should not come
from miles around.
A great opportunity is here to
help the boys. There is a greater
opportunity for every boy to help
himself-to equip himself for the
responsibilities which all too soon
mnst he his.

ings for rural schools. but gives
especial attention to the Alberta
school.

school auditorium is used for Sunday
school and religious services, all de-

There is state travelling library. A
sewing room is set aside one day a
week for the women of the neighoor-
hood, and there is an instructor in at
