The times demand that we do something.anything.to help the negro and make a bettercitizen of hliu..Sumter Advance.With permission of our respected contemporary,we would suggest that wo let the negroalone. He Is doing very well,and the

probability is, that lie will take care of himself.He has been doing so In a manner satisfactoryto himself. Our own opinion is, that

It is much more important for us to "do something.anything.to help" ourselves. We are

paying out of the StateTreasury about a qnarterof a million dollars to educate their chil-

good deal more than we are under any obligationto pay.We owe our first duty to ourselves. If we

learn to prosper and to make our own race

comfortable, we have done enough.The negro doesn't want our Interference in

his affairs, and It would be a poor negro indeed that desired more of us than to be letalone.Time alone will solve the race problem, anc

It behooves us to be solving our own individualproblems.

If we as Individuals, lay by a sufficiency ofthis world's goods, we need have no fears ofthe country or the race question. Any countryis good for the man who has plenty ofmoney. Therefore get money.

It is Proposed to Not up a I'm- to Mnrringc.Abbcvilh'N l)(>lt>^nlrs anontll«» Kiglll Side or tll<> lies! ion.Columbia Jteyixtcr.

Mr. Kieken's substitute for the marriage licensebills, previously on the calendar. whstaken up, and Mr. lirnwlcy moved to strikeout t he enacting words of the bill.Mr. Klcken brlelly explained the purport of

the substitute, claiming tliat the objectionablefeatures of I he other bills had been removed.whilst the provisons guarding the sanctityof the marriage relations had been maintained.In thirty or more States a marriage licenselaw was in operation, and there was a

strong public sentiment all over the State callingfor the passage of such a law. Since hehad been identified with the question he hadreceived numerous letters a.id petitions endorsingIt from clergymen and others.Mr. McCrady regretted to oppose the bill of

his friend from Charleston, but felt compel ledto do so. Why disturb the marriage relationat all? The state was proud of its record onihcsublcclo! divorce, but pass such a bill asthis anil it would open tin; door perhaps tothe passage of a divorce law. General Mcdradyasked what would tie done with the coloredpeople if the law was passed ? It wouldbe a serious question indeed.Mr. Stepp favored the hill, and gave instancesshowing the absolute necessity of

some record of marriage. In one case a'ladyentitled to a pension could not receive it hecause.through the lapse of lime and the deathor removal of witnesses, her marriage couldnot lie proven. He regarded the bill as a stepin the right direction, one that would elevatethe negro to a higher moral plane. Mr. Steppspoke strongly, though briefly, uud made a

decidedly good impression.Mr. lionet opposed the bill, eulogizing the

State for its grand record on the divorce question.She was not only the only State in theAmerican Union,but }heonly commonwealthof the world with such a record. Mr. Benetshowed that the simplicity ot marriage inSouth Carolina was the best safeguard of women.Surround it with all of these requirementsand it would be as difficult, to prove a

marriage here as it would be in France. Hecompared our mnrrlage law with lh»t of Scotland,and contrasted It with that of England,where tlio law protected the man and not thewoman.Mr. Guess moved the indefinite postponementof the whole matter, but withdrew it to

give Mr. Ficken the floor.Mr. Ficken agreed with Ills friend from Abbevillethat this was no light matter, but

thought that gentleman's remarks were notpertlneut to the issue. The House was notconsidering the question of divorce, althoughit might be gcrmaln to the subject. Tills billsought to make the marriage tie a strongerone, and so far from attacking the sanctity ofthe marriage relation it would add to thatsanctity. It would place upon record, to remainthere for all time to come, the solemnfact that the marriage relation had been enteredinto between certain parties.General McKissick brought down the house

by a humorous reterence to his friend fromAbbeville, saying that if he had been bornl.iKX) years ago, he would have been able toconvince JuUas that he had done no wrong inbetraying his Saviour. General McKlssickfurther said that he had been for years Clerkof Courtin hlscounty.and had been frequent1* » Iswl frx JnfnvmnHnM ifhi/.h ho hllfl IIO

1J»vi ...i.w.v,.. --- .

ineuns of giving in regard to marriages. TheGeneral brought out another general laugh byhis humorous allusions to "'puppy love," andthe means of preventing too early and toohasty marriages.Mr. Udens spoke briefly in favor of the bill,

claiming that in the border counties of theState, where the advantages and disadvantagesof a license law were fully understood,the sentiment of the people was strongly infavor of It, and parents and guardians wereurgent for its passage.Mr. Ficken attain alluded to the irood points

of the bill, and spoke earnestly and forciblyin advocacy of Its passage.Mr. Graydon opposed the bill, making a

stront! legal argument j'gainst It.and urgingthe House to let well enough alone.Mr. McCaw briefly opposed the hill, and at

the close of his remarks a vote was taken onthe question to indefinitely postpone the bill.Ayes 12; nays 5'J. So the Ilouse refused to indefinitelypostpone.Mr. O'JJricn wanted time to study the bill,

and hoped the debate would bo adjourned,but if it could not be, he would say that hehoped that the House would be careful not tounsettle the wisdom of ages. Some of thewisest heads iu the House opposed the bill,and he hoped that the members would agreeto his motion to adjourn debate until to-mor|row.Mr. Ftcken thought that the time of the sesisionwas too short and other business too

pressing to atlmltol further delay and wantedthe matter disposed of at once. The volebeing taken, the House rciused toadjouru thedebate.General Mct'rndy again called attention to

the detective features of the bill, and Mr.Urawley said that he had offered the motionto strikeout the enaeti tig words of the bill,not from any particuliu* hostility to it, butfrom a desire to hear argument upon the meritsof the question. At the last session tlioother hills on the subject had been unfavorablyreported upou, but this btl; seemed to befree from sonic of the objectionable featuresofthe other one, and when it. came before theHouse supported us it was by his lenrned anddistinguished friend and colleague, Mr. Fleken. and by the gentleman from Greenville(Mr. stepp) and by others Irom the Easternsection of the State, he was prepared to believethat there really was some popular demaud tor some such measure, hut at the sametime, unless some stronger reasons existed forIts passage than those that had been heard, hewas opposed to unsettling In this way the lawand the custom of ages. There might be. in-cteetl lie ttiougnt inni mere was, si,runsground for a law^jrovidlng for a registrationof marriages and births, but lie could not. seethe necessity for a licence law.Mr. Seegers favored the bill. Stress had

been laid upon the fact thatwc had no divorcelaw, yet as a matter of fact it was a noditllcult matter to procure divorces; peoplehad only to step over the line and get a divorcoin Georgia. He believed that thereshould be a propel record kept of every marriagein the State.Mr. King called attention to the fact thatnlthouulithe bill on Its face called for a license

lee of only lifty cunts, in reality the expenseto those living ai :> distance Iron) the countyseats would be much greater.The yeas and nays were demanded and the

motion to strike out the enacting words waslost by the following vote: yeas 40, nays 59.

that she was sick, hill, no one thought thatshe was in any danger, until a few days ago,when all hearts were shocked at the sad intelligencethat she could not live. "Andthus It was that the beautiful and dearly belovedbride, with a heart as pure as the orangeblossoms that clasped her brow, was strickendown, and borne from the aisles of the templeto the garden of the slumherers."llow mysterious often limes are the dispensationsof lhat Providencc which is over us

all. Only a few months ago this lovely youngwoman became the happy bride of our fellow-townsman,Mr. Thomas A. White.Never, perhaps, did any one enter upon a

life-journey witli brighter prospects than didshe. Possessing naturally a cheerful andhopeful disposition, together with those elementsof character which constitute thebeauty and glory of true womanhood, sho hadentered the race to shed the fragrance of a

beautiful life upon Home and society. J'esidespossessing the wealth of the highestconlidence aim best affections which were

THE FCXERATj service.When the church b -11 rang at half-past ten

o'clock nil the business houses of the townwere closed, and a great multitude of sympathizingfriends occupied seats in the Methodistchurch to pay a tribute of aUectlon toher who had so lately gone out from amongstus.At 11 o'clock, the beautiful casket, upon

which was placed choice flowers most tastelullyarranged, was borne iuto the Methodistchurch by Messrs. W. D. Wilson, It. L. Mabry,L)r. Game, George 1'enny, J. A. Harris and J.L. l'errln, who acted as pall-beaters.The choir sang in a vety sweet and pathclic

manner: "C'onie unto me all ye that-laborand are heavy laden and I wiligive you rest."Mr. Beaty, the officiating minister, announcedthe hymn: "When blooming youth issnatched away."Then followed the Scripture lessons from

Psaiui xc, "Lord thou hast been our dwellingplace in all generations," Ac., and I Cor. xv,"Now is Christ risen from the dead, and becomethe first fruits of them that slept," &c.Alter leading the congregation in prayer,

Mr. Meaty, gave a short sketch of the life ofthe deceased. He then called the congregationto consider for a short while "The ministryof altilction," in which were pointed outsome of the profitable lessons taught us atthe bed-side of the dying.Amougother things, he said: One lesson

learned is our weakness and helplessness.Who that has ministered to the suflerlngthrough hours of anxious watching, as thetime-piece marked the passing moments, buthas yearned lor a remedy that would give relief?Who that has watched the tide of life asIt gently ebbed away, that has not longed forpower to arrest its departure? Remedy afterremedy is tried, until the whole Block ofremedies Is exhausted. Oh I what a sense ofhelplessness sweeps down upon the soul asthe skilful physician and faithful nurse tellus no more can be done.that death mustensue. We then stand face to face with thatstrange and mysterious power we call death,and helplessly await results. We cling withall the tenacity of our fondest love to thosewhose last good bye must soon be heard.weimprint the farewell kiss upon their browand turn aside iu all the desolation of helplessness,to pray for the srracc of submission.We would snatch them from the grasp of thedestroyer ami carry them beyond the reach of 1

his power, but our strength Is insufficient.Who shall say that this Is not a protitablelesson? That man, revelling In the pride ofhis Intellectual and physical strength, shouldnot be brought, occasionally, to an humblerecognition of the limits to .ill his greatness?Another lesson : The hlgln-j-r. typo of uu-

selfish love is developed nt i lie bedside of thedying. Whether our love his been intensified,or whether It Is that a pre-existing lovehas been brought under stronger light, I shallnot attempt to say. It may be that we are soconstituted, that we do uot set the proper val-ue upon any blessing which wo can call ourown.that only when It eludes our grasp dowe properly estimate Its value. ,

Explain It as we may yet the fact remainsthe same: We do love the departing with a

peculiar affection that is given only to them.Whatever ot selfishness there may be in us inother moments, a better and more generousself rules now, and we behold the most sul>-lime exhibition of unselfish love.The plea is often made, that affection Is

more needed during the time when active lifeis combatting the evils and trials of this everydaypilgrimage.that the place to scatterflowers Is upon the pathway of life, rather

'I'hlo kLiUIIUI|)UUnil true, hut taking u view from the stand-point which Is occupied to-day, wo are war-ranted in saying, that If ever an hour comesin the life of any. when sympathy and lovearc needed more than at other times, it Iswhen the last lingering look is being had up-on the familiar scenes of childhood andhome, and the trembling spirit turns away 10face the strange and untried spirit-lnnd intowhich it must go alone. It yearns, we believe,for thill sympathy and love in which Ithas so often before southland found shelter. ,

And it is not denied tills support; for then we '

lavish upon it, as never before, the wealth ofour highest and best ali'ectlons.Again, we liave a striking object-lesson of

the weakness of our hold upon this temporallife und the things which belong to It. "Herehave we no continuing city, but wc seek oneto come." "The days of our years are t hree-score years and ten; and if by reason ofstrength they be fourscore years, yet is therestrength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cutoil", and we fly away." How true are thewords: (

"Life Is a span, a fleeting hour,Mow soon the vapor flies! **

Man is a transient tender (lower,That e'en in blooming dies." (

"With this lesson before us to-day,should notthe prayer of our hearts be: "So teach us tonumber our days, that we may apply ourhearts unto wisdom ?" Let us therefore, notlay up treasure upon earth "where moth andrust corrupt and where thieves break throughand steal, but in heaven, where neither mothnor rust (loin corrupt, nnu wncre iqicvcs uu

not break through nor steal." i

And in our sorrowing, let us tliank God,that we sorrow not as those without hope;but anticipate a blissful und happy reunionon the golden shore. ;At the conclusion of the religious services

the deceased was buried in the family plat at ,

Upper J.ong Cane cemetery, where so many ;of tier friends and relatives sleep their last isleep. Peace to her ushes, and love for her ,memory. IMrs. White was a great, favorite with the j

young people of the village, and her happy,open hearted, generous nature made friendsfor her wherever she was known, while thenobleness of her character and her lovabledisposition made the centre of the most dp* ,voted affection of u happy household.
