In the early history ot South Car- olina Abbeville County took the lead in establishing good schools and colleges for the education of the white youths of the County, and the good result of that work of our forefathers is plainly to be seen in the morals and habits of our people today. In like manner the colored people are now seeking, in the early years of their emanci- pation, to establish schools and col- leges for the education and training of their youths whereby they are better fitted for citizenship and better prepared for greater useful- ness to the country which has done so much for them, and which still manifests great interest in their destiny. Some eight years ago Rev. E. W. Williams of the Presbyterian Church came from the North and began to teach and preach to his race in the town of Abbeville. Having received a good education, and being in great sympathy with the brethren of his own race, he was eminently qualified for the work which he assumed, and from the first, he has wielded a wonder. ful influence with the colored peo- ple hereabout. He soon organized @ separate congregation, among whom were many of the best and most substantial colored people. His influence in shaping their con- duct and behavior, as citizens, has been most salutary, and under his inspiration the parents of his con~ gregation have done much to edu- cate and train their children. After his congregation had been orga- nized, and when he bad opened his school, the next need was a suitable building in which to teach and preach. He and his people raised a bandsome sum of money, but not enough for their purposes. He went North and received most generous aid. With that money a substan- tial and comfortable house was built —a portion being used as a school room, and the remainder being set apart for divine worship. Success so far crowned his efforts as a teacher that a larger and more extensive ouilding was needed. Further effort was made. His own people at home did their part to the full extent of their ability. North ern friends and sympathizers did the rest. A splendid three story brick structure, with mansard roof now stands on the church lot—a monument to the zeal of bis race aud the liberality of his Northern sympathizers. A greater part of the structure has been recently plastered, and made habitable. Su- perintendent Williams and a corps of efficient teachers live in the building, and some fifteen or twen- ty boarding scholars bave quarters 1n the college. He bas lately received yaluable aid from Washington in the way of desks and seats—a generous friend in that city having given the seats and paid for their transportation to Abbeville. The institution is practically out of debt, and the work in the college and on the farm, which is connect- ed with the school, progresses in a satisfactory manner, and the friends ot the colored people who may have contributed to the establishment of this institution would experience a sense ot gratification if they knew how faithfully and how practically their money has been spent, and they would give to their wards and beneficiaries a still more hearty Godspeed if they could realize their great improvement in all that con~ stitates true citizenship. The founders and builders of such institutions as Ferguson Academy make their impress upon all the people who receive the blessings which such colleges confer. MRS. HARRISON’S DAILY LIFE. The brother of President Harri- son’s private secretary, Mr. A. J. Halford, has written for the March number of the Philadelphia®* La. dies’ Home Journal,” an article on ‘‘Mrs. Harrison’s Daily Lite in the White House,” prepared with the consent and assistance of Mrs. Har- rison. A new portrait of the lady of the White House, especially tak- en for this article, and a view of the up-stairs family rooms of the Execu- tive Mansion, are among the illus- trations which will accompany Mr. Halford’s first magazine effort. —————-- ___ HAWAII’S MISSIONARY CA-~ LAMITY. ‘The downfall ot the infamous missionaries in Hawaii and the re- call of the Missionary H. A. P. Car- ter from Washington, as it 18 pre- dicted in the following le ter from R. W. Wilcox to C. C. Moreno: HONOLULU, Jan. 17, 1890. Dear Mr Moreno: I am very busy in electioneering. I have been all over the islands trying to open the eyes of the peo- ple and show them that their worse enemies are the infamous missiona- ries. The missionaries are now very weak in politics, and they are com- ing weaker every day. The people look upon them as cruel and vulgar muderers, having murdered many natives on the day 30ib of June, 1889, I have been received everywhere with marked attention, both as a hero and as a patriot. The National party is the strong- est and the most popular that ever existed in Hawaii, although the vile Missionary party has plenty of money for bribing the people, but it is all hope and work in vain. Onr aim is to defeat the present Missionary Cabinet, and have a Cabinet composed of honest men who will do the good of all and not only for the missionary thieves. The Missionary impostor H. A. P. Carter, is looked upon by the peo- ple here as @ low traitor, aud his dismisal is drawing nearer every day. I may become a member of the Oabinet on account of being the most popular man among the Haw- aiians, and also on acceunt of hav- ing risked my life for overthrowing the tyrannical administration of Missionaries who plundered and demoralized my race and made my king their own slave, moreover you know that I am entitled to it above all others, as the only one who re- ceived a European education in the best schools of Italy, which are su- perior to all others in Europe. The trouble in Hawaii will be easily settled, and Hawaii will be- come a properous country with a good government, as everything depends upon the choice and char- acter of the men called to compose it. Iam determined to conduct the Hawaiian affairs very strictly, and make Hawaii the home of good pa- triots as well as the land to suit Europeans to live in and get rid of the missionary plague as soon as possible. The Honolulu rifles is broken and the Missionaries cannot get other mercenaries to fight for them in spite of all their money, which were stol- en from the Hawaiians. I am working hard with body, heart avd soul for the cause and welfare of my country and country- men. The money which the Gov- ernment and King owe you, and for the non-payment of which they have disgraced themselves, it will be appropriated by the next parlia- ment and be paid to you, and with the interests. I will see that it will be done for justice to you and for the honor of my country ; the delay has been long enough. With aloha mui, RoBERT W. WiLcox. It is a consolation to see a native Hawaiian like Wilcox, to have a good share of backbone, which is so much at a discount in Hawaii, trom the King down. The power of the Missionaries bas its founda- tion in the Hawaiians want of cour- age and firmoess, commonly called back bone.—-[Ed.
