THE WOMAN HATER.
BY E. W. COOLEY.
(Copyright. 1901. by Authors’ Syndicate.)
Arthur Ber.son glanced into the deep
blue eyes looking roguishly into his
from under the rim of the broad
brimmed hat. The ripples of the Ohio
river were spalshing against the rocks
at their feet; behind them the turnpike
stretched beneath a cold, gray sky;
across the stream arose the grim hills’
of Kentucky.
“Why do you make that request?''
he “Why do you ask me to re
veal the buried tragedy of my life?"
“Oh," she answered, gayiy, "trag
edies always interest me. There is a
fascination about them I cannot resist.
And the older, the more deeply buried,
they are, the more interesting they be
come.”
“Really? Well, look yonder.” He
pointed to a large, oval mound on the
bank of the river, from the top of
which grew a large sycamore tree.
“That is an Indian mound. Deep with-
in its bosom lie the skeletons of an un
known race. For centuries, probably,
they have rested there. Floods have
covered the mound and tempests have
raged above it, but the unknown dead
sleep peacefully on. There is an abun
dance of tragic history in that mound.
Miss Gilmore. Does it not Interest you
more than the tragedy of which you
ask a revelation?"
“No,” she answered, heartlessly. “The
actors in that drama live only in le
gends. and stories largely are imagin
ary. But in your case”—she paused,
and, picking up a pebble, cast It into
the water —“well you see, Mr. Benson,
you are still In the flesh.”
"I see,” responded the man. “That
mound, like the fossils In this rock,
represents only death, while the skele
tons in my heart represent a living
misery. Is that what you mean?"
“I am always more interested in liv
ing things," she replied, smiling, “even
though they be miseries.”
"Well, then,” he said, "this Woman
of the Past professed to return the
affection I bestowed upon her. The
day set for our wedding arrived and
she deserted me almost at the altar
deserted me to marry another. It was
his gold that attracted her, but her
life with him was unhappy. This I
learned and was foolish enough to
cherish a hope that some day—.” He
paused a moment.
"So I plunged into business in des- j
perate frenzy, and my savings rapid- j
ly accumulated. One day her husband
died, and hope burned anew in my
breast. After the usual period of
mourning had expired, I went to her.
She received me with open arms. She
assured me that I alone of all the
world she loved. Again a day was
set for our wedding, and I, mad with
joy and anxious to lay not only love
but Inexhaustible wealth at her feet,
grew’ reckless and lost everything
through an unwdse investment.
“Stunned, but with full confidence
that a few short years would enable
me to regain my lost wealth, I went
to her and offered to release her from
her engagement. So implicitly did I
believe in her love that I did not dream
she would consent to anything other
than a postponement. But l was mis
taken. She received me coldly; she
released me willingly; she laughed at
my sorrow."
Benson had been gazing intently
across the river during this recital.
When he had finished, he glanced at
the woman beside him. She was dig
ging in the sand with the point of her
parasol and smiling faintly.
“And after that?” she asked.
"After that," he continued, “I lost
faith in mankind.”
“In womankind,” she corrected.
"Well, yes,” he said, “in woman
kind.”
“I have been told,” she resumed,
laughing, “that for years you have stu
diously avoided the society of women;
that you' destroyed everything in your
possession that would, in the slightest
degree, remind you of any woman;
that on one occasion you returned to
your lodging rooms to find that your
landlady had placed an inoffensive lit- I
tie plaster of paris figure of a girl up- 1
on your mantel, and you became so
angry that you dashed the image to
pieces on the floor."
She glanced at him, her eyes twin
kling. Her glance, more than her
words, nettled him.
“What of it?" he demanded; “what
if I did do all those things?”
"Oh, nothing," she replied, careless
ly. “Only I wanted to know if what
I heard were true. Is it?”
"It certainly Is," he responded.
Miss Gilmore sat a few moments si
lently drawing figures in the sand.
Then she turned an inquisitive face to
his.
“Why, then," she asked, "do you
consent to take these strolls with hip?’
He hesitated a moment before re
plying, a cloud covering his face.
"1 will be frank with you,” he said,
at last. "I have consented only be
cause you are my aunt’s guest."
The woman laughed merrily. “Then
there is no danger of your falling in
love with me,” she said.
“None in the least," he answered.
“That Is well,” she rejoined, grave
ly, “for I am already wooing another
lover most assiduously, and he Is a

at the university, has been tendered a
i
very obdurate fellow’. But I shall con
quer him; I shall devote my life to
him, and he shall make me happy.”
"Indeed.” said Benson. "Do you
think you can be true to him?"
"Oh, most assuredly," she laughed.
“I shall be devotion itself. For this
fellow's name is Literature. I have no
other love. 1 desire no other—now or
at any time.”
She lapsed into silence, watching a
lumbering ferryboat swing lazily
across the river. Then suddenly she ob
served, without turning her head:
"The truth is, Mr. Benson, I have
forced my company upon you for the
purpose of making a study of your
character, of your peculiarities, of your
emotions.”
The man winced. "I do not under
stand you." he faltered.
“Well, you have been frank with me,
so will I be frank with you,” she re
plied. "I am engaged in writing a nov
el. It is to be called 'The Woman
Hater.' You have furnished sufficient
material to make the hero decidedly
original and interesting. Do you under
stand me now?”
“I think I do.” he said, rising, “and
I am reminded of that ancient artist
who Is reported to have tortured his
slaves that he might correctly picture
agony and suffering.”
On the weather-beaten wharfboa.t
Arthur Benson sat., his feet dangling
over the side, a fishing rod in his hand.
The sky Was overcast and The rising
wind sent scores of little whitecaps
scurrying toward shore at frequent in
tervals. In midstream a sailboat rode
bravely upon the waves, a woman in a
white gown at. the tiller.
Benson had noticed the craft and had
been impressed with the unprofessional
manner in which it was handled. As
the wind increased In force and the
waves beat harder and higher beneath
his feet, he watched the boat with in
ert using apprehension.
Suddenly a mighty gust of wind
swept dowrt the river, and the sailboat,
which had been allowed to turn until
its broad sail was directly across the
path of the wind, careened an instant,
then toppled over.
Benson saw the slender, white-robed
figure pitch headlong into the water.
He sprang to his feet and gazed across
the angry waves. He saw the woman
struggle violently in the current a mo
ment, then grasp the side of the cap
sized boat and try to right it.
"Who is it?” he asked the wharf
master, standing in helpless fright be
side him.
"It’s Miss Gilmore,” the other said.
"She—”
But Benson did not wait for further
words. With a face suddenly grown
ashen he sprang from the wharfboat
to the shore and ran along the bank
for a short distance until he reached a
small skiff that was fastened to a
stake. This he cut adrift and. spring
ing in, he grasped the oars determin
edly and sent the boat with the speed
of the wind toward the center of the
river.
Perspiration sprang from every pore;
blisters raised upon his hands; his mus
cles ached with his exertion. But he
did not heed the pain. He rowed with
all the power of desperation, a strange
thrill stimulating his nerves. At in
tervals he turned his head to get his
bearings and smiled to note the form
in white still clinging to the drifting
sailboat, her frightened eyes watching
him. And finally—-he reached her side,
She clasped the hand he held to her.
Then her strength failed and she faint
ed. So he put his arm around her
waist and lifted her out of the water.
Tenderly he held her in his arms; the
moisture of her breath was upon his
cheek, and, in his heart, a new’ and
yet an old, old thrill.
Softly he laid her apparently uncon
scious form in the bottom of the boat,
the impulsively stooped and kissed her.
Finally she opened her eyes.
“You are not injured?” he asked,
anxiously.
“No,” she replied, shivering. “I am
only chilled.
He removed his coat and wrapped
it around her.
“Thank you. Arthur,” she said, a
sober tenderness in her eyes. "You
are very, very kind to one—who is a
woman."
He winced visibly, and she flushed.
"Forgive me,” she said, hastily. "I
am sorry.”
• * * * * * •
He stood with his hand upon the
knob of the door, looking at her, his
face kindled with mingled doubt and
hope. Smiling, she crossed the room
and placed her hand upon his shoul
“You stupid old dear," she said, "do
you not know I have loved you ever
since the day in last September when
you kissed me?”
"When I kissed you?" he stammered.
"Yes,” she laughed, “when you
pulled me out of the river, don't you
remember?”
The man flushed, then laughed long
and loud. Then he grew serious.
"And you will marry me, Bernice?”
he asked.
“Yes, Arthur.” she replied. "I will
marry you to-morrow.”
“So soon?” he asked In surprise.
“Why not? To-day will but add to
your fear that I will change my mind."

BISHOP AND THE NEGRO.
______ r
System of Kdocotiou Shonltl Be
Planned for HI. Environments.
Right Reverend B. J. Keiley, bish
op of Savannah, at the request of the
New York Journal, has contributed a
letter to that paper's symposium on
the "Negro Question.” The bishop
writes as follows;
Permit me to take the questions in
volved in this matter in seriatim:
First. Can the negro problem be
solved by education?
It is absolutely necessary to have a
clear and definite idea of a question
before attempting to solve it. What
is meant by the “negro problem?”
Does it refer to his social position?
if so, I have no hesitation in saving
that education cannot and should not
affect him.
Providential limitations are not af
fected by cramming one with infor
mation.
Furthermore any attempt by .legisla
tion or political action to establish so
cial equality will be of incalculable in
jury to the negro, and will be resisted
stubbornly and successfully by the
whites.
If it is a question as to whether or
not the moral and Intellectual status
of the negro can be Improved by edu
cation, I presume there could be no
doubt as to the nature of the reply;
but a difficulty arises from another
source.
A mere education in the "three Rs”
will certainly have no effect on the
moral character of the negro, nor will
a scientific or classical course affect It.
A system of education which delib
erately ignores the training of the
heart and conscience can have but in
jurious effects on the moral character
of blacks or whites.
A system of education which merely
refers to certain moral principles, or
simply states them, or demonstrates
their practicability or utility. Is as
equally Injurious. False systems of
morality may be taught, as well as
grossly absurd Ideas of religion.
In order that education may Improve
the condition of the negro it i& neces
sary that it should be suited to his en
vironment and adapted to hte needs,
present and future. -
Now, the position of the negro Is
fixed.
He may accumulate more, and may
In many ways better his condition, but
the avenues open to him are limited.
This limitation is based on his ca
pacity and condition. The betterment
of some of the conditions under which
he lives does not and win not affect
the general status of Ihq negvo.
I am not interested in the discussion
(on which, however, I have definite
views) of the question as to the capac
ity of the negro for assimilating what
is called higher education.
What need has a carpenter, a brick
layer, a stonemason, a barber or a
plasterer for Latin, Greek or higher
mathematics?
1 fully admit that my argument may
likewise be applied to the whites.
We are simply cramming the juve
nile victims of our schdol systems. ,
Is there in the South any other open
ing for the negro than thff ones I have
referred to? v
What is the present negro child to
become in after life? That known, the
problem seems easy of solution.
I have not asked the question re
garding the status of the negro in the
North.
There he is not wanted.
And the interest displayed by the
North in him is generally based on his
utility for voting purposes in a Re
publican convention. N
Second. Is education for the negro a
failure?
I must distinguish.
The present system is imperfect, In
adequate and pernicious. Naturally, it
is a failure.
The negro needs a strong moral re
straint.
He is not. as many suppose, naturally
a religious being. He is emotional,
and no better evidence of this is need
ed than the patent fact that his reli
gion commences (and nearly always
ends) at his feet.
An education which makes him
dissatisfied with his surround
ings and envious of a position which
he can never fill, will make him asham
ed of honest work and make success
only attainable by wrongdoing; and is
more than a failure: it is criminal in
the teacher and unjust to the child.
But an education which fits him for
ills life work, which teaches him self
restraint as well as self-reliance,which
implants practical Christianity in his
heart and mind, is one, and the only
one, which will benefit the negro.
The state cannot give that to him.
In dealing with the question of the
moral side of the negro character It is
curious to notice how’ completely sat
urated he is with the principles pro
mulgated in the sixteenth century.
He is a firm believer in the all-suf -
ficiency of faith and the utter unim
portance of works.
The first is pushed to credulity, and
the second illustrates a familiar phase
of his character.
Third. Can min like Booker Wash
ington solve the question?
With the eliminations made in my
reply to the first question, and assum
ing that the moral and intellectual
status of the negro are the points at
Issue. I would say that, while admit
ting Ihe honesty of purpose of Booker
Washington, I cannot see how the mor
al character of the negro will be
strengthened by his proficiency In va
rious trades.
The result —admirable as one may
admit It—of such training will un
questionably be to make the negro a
more skilled workman than he ig to
day.
And In so doing Booker Washington
Is helping the negro, and giving him
a much more suitable education than
he is getting in the schools.
But is there any consequent im
provement In his moral character?
Though not directly within the scope
of your questions, let me suggest a line
of thought:
Twenty-live years from now we will
have skilled negro laborer* handed to
gether In unions composed exclusively
of blacks.
The labor market t* open.
All may compete therein.
What will be the Inevitable result
when the negro compete* sun sasfully
with the while laborer?

the restless search for some kind of
social recognition with our friends of
the North he may do much good.
But the last analysis of the question
again brings us face to face with the
conclusion: Religious influences and
a stern code of morality, enforced by
appeals from a source commanding re
spect and acceptance, are the only
hope of the negro.
We of the South are intensely inter
ested in all that concerns him, and are
his best friends.
He is with us, and will stay with us.
Politics and politicians have tinker
ed with the question, and it is no near
er a solution.
The negro, so far as I can see or
know, is denied no right here.
There can scarcely be found one
Northern man who understands him.
I flatter myself that a life spent
among them justifies my claim that
the solution I have given above is the
best for his condition.
Whatever Improves the negro helps
the white man.
Whatever harms the negro hurts the
white. Benjamin J. Keiley,
Bishop of Savannah.

THE CARbIiNrMEfHODISTS.
Alinnal Conference to be Held tn
Columbia Thin Week.
Columbia, 8. C., Nov. 24.—The South
Carolina Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, will convene
in Washington Street Church Wednes
day morning. Bishop Charles Betts
Galloway, who resides at Jackson,
Miss., will preside. Bishop William W.
Duncan, who lives at Spartanburg,
will be present as a. visitor.
Tuesday, Nov. 26, several boards and
committees will hold their sessions,
and, therefore, about 60 or more
preachers and delegates will reach the
city Monday.
Tuesday night the Historical Society
of the conference will hold Its annual
meeting at the Washington Street
Church. Rev. H. B. Browne of
Orangeburg is president of the society,
and will occupy the chair. The annual
lecture will be delivered by Rev. L. F.
Beaty, assistant Sunday-schooi editor
of the church, and we are informed
that his subject will be the missions of
South Carolina Methodists to the
Slavs. These were established about
1829 under the leadership of Dr. Wil
liam Capers, afterwards elected bish
op.
On Wednesday the conference will be
opened, usually with the communion,
and from that day until Monday night
following, or longer, it will be engaged
in the transaction of its regular busi
ness. This inoludes the annual exami
nation of the ministers, the considera
tion of missions, education and the
various departments of church work,
election of delegates to the general
conference, etc. An event of special in
terest is the reception of the class of
young preachers into full connection.
The bishop's address on these occasions
is always an impressive feature of
conference.
Matter. Historical.
Columbia entertained the. South Car
olina conference in 1810, 1816, 1821, 1830,
1835, 1838, 1844, 1854, 1860, 1877 and 1885.
The first was a very small body and
it met in the home of Col. Thomas
Taylor. At the conference of 1854 the
conference indorsed the action of a
commission establishing two female
colleges, one in this city, the well
known Columbia Female College and
the other In Spartanburg, which was
discontinued about the year 1872. The
opening of Wofford College on Aug. 1,
1854, was reported at that session.
When the conference assembled in 1860
the smallpox was in the city, but the
body attended carefully to its business
without adjourning elsewhere as did
the secession convention, which met a
few days later. The conference em
phatically indorsed secession as a ne
cessity.
The South Carolina conference is now
quite a large assembly. There are over
240 preachers and 40 lay delegates in
its membership, and its affiliated
boards and committees, with visitors,
increase the total to about 350 persons
or more. This city has made ample
provision for the entertainment of all
that may attend.

Several Savannnli Lawyer. Hove
Gone to Darien.
The Superior Court of Mclntosh
county will convene to-day at. Darien.
Several Savannah lawyers left yester
day to attend. Among them was Col.
P. W. Meldrim, who will represent A.
Konetsko in the trial of the charge of
arson that has been brought against
him. Konetsko is a merchant of Darien,
who was indicted for burning his store.
The case has excited considerable in
terest.
Duck. Unusually Plentiful.
Ward Allen, who has recently re
turned from a trip for ducks, says
that these birds are unusually plenti
ful this season and of all varieties.
Despite the fact that there will be a
large number of hunting parties out
for them Thanksgiving Allen does not
think that the ducks will suffer to
the extent that the number of hunt
ers might lead one to suppose. “It
takes a long time to learn to hunt
ducks successfully,” he said. "Though
I have been at it for twenty-seven
years. I learn something new every
day.” _

Mr. J. A. Thomas, Jr., who recently
passed his examination for an appoint
ment in the United States army, has
received his commission as second lieu
tenant in the artillery. He has not yet
been assigned, however.
