FOOLING THE NEGROES.
Hundreds are Induced to Go Yves,
and Fail to Get Work.

A dispatch from Pueblo Colorado,
says: Some employment agent at or
in the vicinity of Birmingham, Ala,
appears to be doing thriving business
in the way of sending colored men and
their families to this city on the prom
ise that he has secured good places for
them in the BesSemer steel works or
the mines of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Development Company.
A crowd of forty arrived this morn
ing, composed of about twenty men
and the remainder women and chill
dren. When asked what they came
for they made the same statement that
was made by the other companies num-
bering over two hundred that have az
rived here during the past four months;
that was that places had been secured
for them as stated above. They did
not receive the places, however, and
the managers of the company declare
they never promised them places and
have little or nothing for them to do.
Most of those who came first have
either returned to Alabama or to Weir
City, Kas.; many of the men going
/ without their families because they
| had not sufficient funds for all to re
| turn. Their families are going back
as fast as they can. and are very anx,
| lous to go. Not more than twenty OF
! the men out of over u hundred sue
ceeded in getting any kind of employ
ment and they will probably remair
! here.
Had these people places actually en-
! gagged, SO that they could earn living
from the time of their arrival or suf1i
: cient means to subsist on for IL few
| months, they might do well enough
here. If they were accustomed to agri
cultural pursuits, limited number o
steel workers and miners might gc
places after a time, but at present sucl
laborers are leaving the city by hund
reds because the steel works and mines
are practically closed and when they d,
start will run light for several months
unless Congress enacts some legisla
ton favorable to silver.

the Craddocl> Letter.
Special to the Augusta Chronicle
EDGETIELD, S. c., August 9.--Yes-
terday afternoon, Captain j. H. Till
man and w. j. Shelton, representa-
tives of the Columbia Register, engag-
ed in fisticutf which grew out of the
Farley-Tillman-Irby matter with
which the public is acquainted. Shell
ton was sitting on the court house
steps. Tillman called him and they
had talk and walked off together to
Grey's stables. There an alteration
took place in which Tillman got the
best. There is expected blood. Both of
the gentlemen are on the streets this
afternoon without visible signs of
danger.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
COLUMBIA, S. c., August "a dis
pa4ch to The State from Edgefield
throws additional light on the famous
" Craddock letter which United
States Senator Irby swears Captain j.
II. Tillman wrote, and which Tillman
in scorching language accuses Irby OF
being the author of. This article
was the cause of Adjutant General
Farley's hot attack on Irby, which has
not been answered. Yesterday after,
uoon, says inc dlSpatch, captain j.
d. Tillman and w. j. Shelton, of The
Register, met on the street and had
some words about the voluminous Till
man-Farley-Irby correspondence. The
lie was passed. Tillman knocked Shell
ton down and straddled him. They
are well matched in size. Shelton had an
iron stick in his hand. 1t is said that
Shelton while down acknowledged that
lrby dictated to Tighe, his secretary
the Washington dispatch, which sc
abundantly convicts himself (Irby) and
that Tighe translated his stenographiC
reports to Shelton, and that Irby ant
Tighe themselves filed the dispatch al
the telegraph Office"

Realistic Art In Theory and Practice for
the Young Mind.
Harry Is ten-year-old boy who indi-
Gates disposition to become an artist,
In this he Is assiduously encouraged by
his father The lad has a box OF
paints, brushes, pencils and plenty Of
rough paper. Harry's father is de-
voted to the theory Of realism in art
and literature, and occasionally lee
lures the little boy on the duty Of try
ing to represent things just as he sees
them.
IF you are always accurate, faithful,
true to tho fact If You try to give ii
miniature a representation Of what
your eyes really behold, you will be
always in the right way. Do you un-
derstaDd what / mean, Harry?" said
the father, recently.

Not long afterward Harry invited HIS
father to come and see his picture OF q
mountain. It consisted of consider.
