of Directors and Ofllnws ’
mid tl
The annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Columbus street railroad company was held yes
terday. A majority of the slock was represented.
The annual report of the president showed that
the road had been economically managed and
hud made some money, but for certain reasons it
was thought best not to declare a dividend from
the earnings of the past yea r.
An election of directors was held and resulted
as follows : C. B. Grimes. B. T. Hatcher, F. D.
Peabody, W. P. Hunt. F. C. Weisiger, G- W. !
Dillinguam and O. S. Jordan.
At u subsequent meeting of the board of
directors Mayor Grimes declined a re-election as
president and Mr. B. T. Hatelier was elected.
Mr. F. c. Weisiger was elected secretary and
treasurer, and Mr. James Weisiger was ap
pointed temporary superintendent.

I rested here, but I guess they were trying to
I frighten us."
1 While this brief conversation was going on,
| the intended bride, who may be described us a
very pretty* auburn-haired young lady of twenty- .
two summers, sat blushing and trembling in one
corner of the carriage. The story about the tele
gram had evidently frightened her.
“Where are you from?” the reporter asked.
“We arc* from Montgomery," replied the young '
man.
•‘Did the old folks object?”
“Well, my relatives objected, and a*» we could
not marry there, we thought we would come
here. I know they can’t keep us from mar
rying, as I am of age. My father is dead and my
mother does not want me to marry."
At this time the carriage drew up at the court
house, and the couple were ushered up <t> the

for it certificate of marriage and waited at the
courthouse until Judge Brooks returned from
dinner. After getting the certificate, the happy '
couple returned to the depot ami left on the 2:25 ,

' At the depot the groom expressed iiU heartful ,

COLORED CHILDRENS EXHIBITION.

lluuse Lust Niirlil a Comphtr Sum***.
Tlu* teaelieis and children of the colored pub
lic schools* of the city gave an entertainment in»t
night at the opera house f«*r the purpose of rais
ing fundft to pay for an organ for the use of the
-ehools. At an utrly hour every Beat 1:1 the opera
luuisi \va* tilled with the better ela.-s uf col >red
p« opl e of tin city, a ho are patron* **f the sell- »,>ls.
There weix also a few white people pn sent, ami
among them several members of the board of
trustees.
There were about four hundred children en
gaged in the entertainment, all of whom showed
e\i e’.b-nt training. Tlu* programmo was begun
t". the singing, by forty childien, of tne cantata,
"Darting, or the Crown of Reward." They ac
quitted theinselve* very creditably indeed. 1
The special feat in es of the entertainment
were the tableau "Queen of Flowers" and the
calisthenic exercise*. 1
Tile tableau was beautiful and the songs were ’
very well rendered.
All of the 1 hildren took part in the cali*thei.ic
e.\i*ivises. The costumes worn by the different
classes were tasty, and the children presented a
handsome appearance. The girls were graceful
ami the boys manly. The many intricate move
ments were faultlessly made. The teachers and
managers deserve great credit fertile pains taken
which made this feature of the entertainment so
very pleasing.
Throughout the interesting programme the
children were the recipients of tVequcut applause.
Tlu audience was • a very large one. and during
tlie entire evening peiiVet order was preserved.
There was 110 boUterousness, a ml everything
m »\ed along with system and promptness, show
ing excellent training. The audience was well
pleased, and the colored people have reason to
congratulate themselves upon the admirable
training the children are receiving and the cred-
itaole manner in which they conducted them- j
seises. Take it all in all. there has seldom been '•
a more pleasing and creditable entertainment in
the opera house, nor a more orderly audience
I where so many people were gathered together.

In Ireland all Christendom would set up a right

It has ever been so. that men can
see 'the wickedness of others and be
*t 1 me blind to the outrages which
they themselves do perpetrate. Now, the negro

have been, a free and go easy creature In some

great black army T convict*, and by hi.* pres

we may add apolitical commotion.
Oh! my countrymen, how long shall it be thus,
‘‘bull we continue to constrain from departure,
the negro, this disturber of our peace, this great
black incubus upon our state’s prosperity and in
*0 doing perpetrate a heaven-frowning injustice
upon the negro himself, thereby makingjhiin the
instrument of our mutual injury. Our state,
rather than throw obstacles iu the way of the ne
groes' departure, could well afford t- » make an ap
propriation to help defray his transportation so
far away that return would be impossible.
The emigrant tax law was passed to gratify
some of the owners of old clay and sand hills who
feared that unless they could get very cheap
labor their lands would become valueless. But
the result has been that they have been forced to
mortgage and sell the old hills to feed the un
profitable laborer, and the very means lived by
them to hold up fhe value of their lands, has
made them worthless; for the presence of the
negro, has served to keep away a thrifty white
peasantry, who would have bought lands and
kept up their market value.
It is to the interest of the white toiler, the inter
est of the owner of poor lands; the interest of
even* lover of thrift, prosperity and enterprise to
encourage the emigration of the negro. If half
the negroes in the black belt could be exchanged
f*»r a like number of hogs and sheep and cows to
eat the grass on the poor lands where the negro
and guano now hold sway, then this country
would bask in the sunshine of prosperity, and
plenty would abound. J. M. L.

Tuesday evening at Wood berry, nine miles 1
from Greenville, Mr. Bud Johnson was shot and
killed by Mr. James Cartwright. There was no
witness to the shooting. From what we learn 1
from parties who have heard Mr. Cartwright’s
statement, it seems that Cartwright has been
under a kind f f religious craze for several days.
He and Johnson wc-ie sitting on a fence talking,
and without ihe least warning or provocation,
Cartwright drew his pistol and fired, instantly
killing Johnson. The- ball took effect above the
16$ eye. Cartwright said afterward that he whs
commanded by God to kill him. amt he* had only
obeyed bis instructions.. Cartwright- waited a
preliminary trial and was placed : u jaii at Green
ville yesterday afternoon. He acts and talks
likr » crazy man, though public cpinion is
divided as to whether lie i- insane or not.
