EDITORIA L
Editor Green Is a Ultle Gun-Shy.
Now there is Editor Green at it
again! We have stated before that
he is, in our opinion, a mighty sen
sible man except when he wants to
score a poiuL Then he will do most
any way to get ahead. Can put up
a straw man and knock the socks oil
him in a second. Another thing
about him is, he's gun shy. An old
dog that lias once been shot will
scoot out every time he hears a noise,
whether the gun was aimed at him
or not. lie's been in so many argu
ments with Editor Way of Waxhaw,
and got the furr singed so much,
that he thinks somebody is after him
every time his paper is mentioned.
We lately copied some extracts from
his paper about the scarcity of labor,
which position we endorsed in the
main. But as Editor Green had ex
pressed opinions different from what
one so often hears, we thought he
had been thinking some on the sub
ject, and really intended to be com
plimentary to him in saying Uiat the
question would bear more than the
surface view which had been given
it by those who had been talking
most about it before Brother Green
started.
But just like a free nigger who
goes to camp meeting for the pur
pose of breaking up the crowd, Edi
tor Green backed and blowed and
yelled, "Iiook out, men, don't you
put y'r hands on me, I'xe a mean
nigger!" All when we only intended
to agree with him in the main and
pass on his remarks a worthy of
careful thought. If Editor Green
will calm down a minute and give
us time to say a few words before
shooting up the crowd, we will ex
plain more fully our meaning, which
we were not fortunate enough to do
before to the satisfaction of Our
Home, of which we are really fond,
when it is not too much bent on
shooting up the crowd whether or no:
1. We do not think tho South
needs any more labor for growing
cotton, having repeatedly stated that
it could much more than supply the
demand now.
2. We do not believe in cheap
labor at all. Any country is better
off when one job is hunting two men
than when two men are hunting one
job. In our opinion the South does
not need ignorant immigrants who
could never be more than a class of
either ignorant or unruly laborers
such as some sections of the country
are cursed with. We don't need that
sort. It is the class that would come
in competition with our own lbor
ing people. It is the class that the
capitalists seek to hammer the Ameri
can workman with down to starva
tion prices. Better lot some railroads
be unbuilt and some mines' go un
opened than to have that class.
3. The South is today the citadel
of native born Americans. But these
natives have an ancestry. They came
from English, German, French, Dutch
and Scotch immigrants. We believe
that if immigrants of this class were
to come here they could become
happy and useful citizens without
hurting our own people. On the con
trary it would be a help. Railroads,
manufacturing plants and dozens of
other enterprises are willing to pay
good wages for more help than they
ran secure. Intelligent labor could
be used in this way and help to cre
ate more markets for the additional
things that the independent farmers
could make.
4. The South buys its bacon in
tho West largely, likewise its hay
and ils corn; the high price olAVesl
ern horses and mules is a fearful
drain on the farmers; we buy our
seeds elsewhere, much of our vege
tables and fruit, our clothes and
shoes, our fertilizers and our vehi
cles and implements. The more of
'all these things that could be made
: here the richer the country would be.
A class of immigrants, as we said,
that could go into these undeveloped
fields would be of great bem tit to
the country.
5. We do not believe in a leisure
class. We do not believe in a land
holding class separate from a land
working class. The fact of the busi
ness is that much of our fault finding
with the negro is due to the fact that
he will no longer work our land for
us and take whatever we fit to
give him. There are still men in the
South who want the kind of labor
that the negro furnished when he
worked hard and asked little in re
turn. We were trying to point out
to Editor Green the fact that this
i class were the ones who now desire
a cheap farm laborer who can live on
nothing and work hard all the time.
We don't believe in that kind. The
under dog has some rights. For that
reason we have always been opposed
to so-ealltd landlord and tenant laws
that put all the advantage into the
hands of the landlord. But Editor
Grcn backed up in a corner and
drew his "weepin" before he took
time to think of what we were saying.
6. We don't believe in the gov
ernment protecting a manufacturer
by making the people pay hira a sub
sidy; we don't believe in encouraging
ship building by taxing the people
at large to pay the expenses of an
unprofitable business. Neither do
we believe in a few people grabbing
a lot of land in a big country like
this and saying that we will not
work it ourselves nor let others work
it. We don't believe in keeping out
good citizens because we are afraii
that they might reduce the price of
cotton. That principle is in sub
stance the same as a ship subsidy.
If cotton can not be grown profitably
in a fair field and no favors, then the
country as a whole is not benetited
by its growth. It is a dead weight.
We believe that with the spread of
intelligence and the information that
cotton growers are every day learn
ing as to the needs of the world and
as to the distribution and consump
tion of cotton, they will be ablo to
regulate the supply without the mis
erly program of holding all the land,
as Editor Green suggests, and pre
venting its use to those who might
make it profitable either with cotton
or something elso. In short, we be
lieve in Editor Green's old platform
of special privileges to none and
equal and exact justice to all. If he
is still on this platform, we hope we
will not scrougc him; if he has aban
doned it, we hope he will have no
objection to our occupancy.
All this we had in mind, only try
ing to condense it into few words.
And if Editor Green will put up his
gun and be quiet, we will be much
obliged.

It is said that there is an oak tree
in Goose Creek township that is of
mammoth size. An idea of its
gigautie proportions is given by a

they got seveu and a quarter cords
of wood and still left the tree iu
good shape for growiug. It is also
stated that Mr. Milton Br.iswell

Before the lire could I extinguish

she was so astonished at his widoui
and the grand scale upon ahiih he
was running things, that she ex
claimed the one half had never bt-eu

way with one coming to r.gyt.
We arc astonished at what r..
We have lieen hearing of the won
ders dowu here all our lives, lint
we have merely half comprehended.
Only the sight of them can give
anything like a correct idea of what
they are. It is not alone their in
trinsic grandeur and beauty w hich
make them so interesting, but rath
er the puritose of their creation.
Nearly all of the priueipal sights
were the products of their religion.
They show the early struggle of the
hiiiuan mind to fathom the future
and to worship some higher power
that rules overall. Perhaps they
did the lavst they could with the
lights Ik-lore them; but these mid
remains, graml and iieaiitiiui in
ruin, prove that both their religion
mid their gods were false, lucre
is food for thought in Egypt.
It is a singular fact that ancient
Egypt's architects, sculptors aud
painters devoted t heir taleiitsalmost
entirely to the construction and dec
oral ion of gods, temples or tombs,
or to objects connected witli tue
one or the other. Evidently much
attention was given to the worship
of their strange gods ami to the life
lu-yond the grave. One does no'
have lo be able to rend hieroglyph
ics iu oiilcr to know how they lived
here aud how they expected to live
hereafter. Over in the mountains
on the l.nivaiiMcsert, uown at
Thebes, are some sights worth all
the cost of a trip to Egypt. Cut in
the solid rock for many yards are
the royal tombs. Each tomb con
sists of a slanting shaft, composed
of a series of inclined planes con
nected by rock steps, having ou
each side chainls'rs for the mum
mies of the King's relatives and
sometimes chambers lor his ser
vants, with the King's chamber at
the end of the shall, On the walls

Finds Col- Tries an Occupant of the
Tombs of the Kings.
Although a serious matter, it is
impossible to repress a smile at
some of their crude representations.
One was a certain god iu a bout,
on the river of life, judging the dead
as they applied for ferriage to a
Itetter shore. It the applicant liml
lived properly, a seat was given;
it not, he was translormed into a
hog and led away by a baboon.
Near the entrance totlie tomu were
large cobra serpents painted so life
like that they would frighten away
a ghost. The figures were so ar
ranged as to express ideas, and a
complete history of the King's life
is written iu his toml). It Is worthy
of note that the dog and the camel
are not in these representations.
Their conception of the gods w hich
they worshiped was unique. The
earliest Egyptians worshiped aui-
mals; at a later period they gave
human forms to their gods, and
still later they united the two, and
always represented their god with
a bird's or a beast's head on a
human form never a human head
on the bird or lieast. The sphinx
(with a man's head on the body of
a lion) represented the Kiug and
not a god. They also worshiped
the sun. tjuite a nninlier of these
tombs have lieen discovered and
opened, and the Egyptian govern
ment is still excavating. Future
discoveries may throw much light
on the past. There is an electric
plant near there already opened,
and visitors examine the interiors
by electric light. A novel surprise
met me iu one of them. In the
very bottom of the tomb of Seti I.
(father of the Pharaoh of the Op
pressiou ), I met Col. F. H. Fries of
Winston Salem. I would not have
Is-en much more surprised if Sati
himself had confronted me. With
Col. Fries were Mrs. Fries, Miss
Eleanor Fries, Miss Mary Louise
lUhiiMin and Mr. A. II. llahnson.
They are making the Nile voyage
by a lieautiful dahaluyeli, manned
by sixteen men, and are taking life
leisurely and luxuriantly. We ac
eented a kind invitation to take
tea with them on their boat, and
spent a most pleasant evening com
paring experieneeaon this side and
talking of friends and loved ones
down in far away Dixie.
Wrestled much With the Question
of Immortality.
flio tomb of Kameses II. (Pha
raidi of Oppression) is not oen to
visitors now, but the work ot clean
ing it out is going on. His mummy
has been removed to the Musenm
at Cairo. From the carvings and
paintings iu these royal totnlw we
can iret the religious beliefs of the
Kings, which were shared in by the
people of their tituea. They had
wrestled much with the problem of
a future life. The patriarch asked.
"If a ui iu die shall he live againf" j
Tbia tpieMiou the early Egyptians'
titled iu the ttttiriiiativr without
the doiilits of Hamlet. The walls
of their toiulis how that they I-:
tiered in the immortality of the
ul. They not only believed in a
higher Is-lng, but Is-lievcd that he
would rewind the good and punish '
the sn ked. They believed iu the;
rvsuriei-'.iou of the Issly. That is
U why they embalmed it. Theyj
had an idea that the soul bovcrvd
around the tomb and mould visit!
the Imdy. Henre they put food
and water i:i the tmul). At some
fiitme time thev believed the soul
would reunite with the hodv and
live iu a better world. For that
reason they took great pains to pre
serve the body. The pictured mum
mies of their gods show that they
knew their god were mortal. They
had uo conception of a god of spirit
that was immortal. As I extracted
these beliefs of the ancients from
the pictures iu these tombs, I could
not overlook the complications that
miiiht result if lviimeses II. (the
Pharaoh of the Oppression ) should
undertake to reunite with his mum
my and revisit the scenes of his
lifetime. Surprises would confront
him everywhere. His Isxly he
would tinil in the Museum at Cairo.
He could not get it without the
consent of the Khedive. After
getting himself together, he would
tiud that all of his gods were dead
or had hecu imprisoned by the
Egyptian government and put on
exhibition as ancient curiosities.
When he visited his own tomb he
would have to pay '.'..Vl admission
fee. There he would tind things
pretty much as he left them, except
bis uiumiiiy gone. When he came
out he would have to give an Arab
'backsheesh, in obedience to a
custom that had grown up since he
worked people so hard and paid
them nothing. Crossing over to
Luxor, he would see himself pho
tographed on post cards and being
sent all over the world by travelleis
as the fellow who oppressed the
Hebrews in Egypt. He would lind
a new race of people in his king
dom and no one worshiping idols
He would find that his gods had
disappeared from their places.
Hoaever, he could buy pleuty of
t hem on the streets or in the stores
at a reasonable price. IJut he would
lind that all of those grand temples
which he had erected to them all
over Egypt were in utter ruins, and
the once populous cities in w hich
they stood had been wiped off the
face of the earth. He would hud

hank I. (called Shishak in the
Bible) over Kehoboain, the son f
Solomon. (This Slieshauk plun
dered the houses of the Lord and
of the King and carried away their
treasures'). He would still see on
the left of the King the form of the
deity of Amnion, who is grasping
the sword of victory iu his right
hand and in w hose left hand are
cords which bind live rows of con
quered cities of the Holy Lund.
He would see that those who are led
away as captives have the curved
noses, prominent cheek bones, and
the pointed lieards of the Jews of
Palestine. The hieroglyphics on

The Changes that Old Ramcses
Might Find Were He to Come Hack.
He would lind a part of the walls
of the Kauicsscum, which he dedi
cated to the god Amnion, slill
standing, and the carved represen
tations showing his victory over
the Hittites at Kadcsli. On the
interior pylon he would see himself
returning thanks to his gods Tor
the victory, but he would lind no
trace of his gods, and only a ves
tige of the temple upon which he
lavished the spoils of conquered
nations and upon which he prob
ably required the children of Israel
to work. A visit to Memphis
(Hible name Xoph ) would still
more surprise him. Not only the
temple where he worshiped Am
nion, Isis and other gods, and lie
fore which he erected a gigantic
marble statue of himself, entirely
gone, his idols gone, and his broken
statue lying iu the dirt, but he
would find the bat and the owl the
only inhabitants of the once famous
capital of Kgypt. A new light
would break upon his mind w hen
shown the words, "For Noph shafl
be waste and desolate without an
inhabitant.'' ( Jer. K'cliH. "I will
also destroy the idols, and I will
canst' their images to cease out of
Xoph." ( Kek. :i0:i:ii.
Proceeding on down the Nile to
lleliopolis (the On of the liiblei,
he would not recognize the citj
where Joseph married Asenalli, a
daughter of the priest of ( Iu. The
oldest obelisk iu l'.gypt would be
the only familiar object, and by it
alone could he locate where the
great temple of the Sun stood: a
temple w hich he embellished and
in which he often worshiped the
Sun god. At . mil, Pithotn, Aby
dos and every other city in which
he worshiped his gods, a similar
surprise would await him. On the
Island of Plulac, over 111 .iibia or
Ethiopia, he would find some beau
t if til remains of the temple in which
Isis, Osiris and other deities were
worshiped, but he would also learn
that his successors on the Kgyptian
throne did not believe iu some of
his gods and had scratched them
otT the walls, at the same time carv
