PRocREss IN AFRICA.

4 Country That Is slow to Adopt the
Customs OF Civilization.
As a continent ii is the home Of a
vigorous race of mankind, which.
while resisting assimilation with Eu-
ropean civilization, dehcs permanent
conquest. According TO the Nineteenth
Century, it views with equanimitv, or
Mt least is powericss 10 re cnt, the oc-
cupation Of its coasts IA the more
healthy contiguous regions; but the
heart of the continent remains. and
rarst ever remain, the home of the
African. Allied races, and people who
have for centuries undergone the
scarcely perceptible process of accli-
mati2ation, may. ii is true, effect q
lodgment in the heart of Africa; but If
they remain there, they themselves
eventually undergo absorption into the
primitive elements of the population
or suffer total extinction.
Nature has. in short. marked or
tropical Africa as the abiding home of
the black races. European travellers.
traders, missionaries, conquerors may
at their will and at their peril penc-
trate into this dark sanctuary, but
their sojourn is for day. and on the
morrow the faint traces OF their pas
sage are obliterated by the eXuberant
growths of barbarism. Grudgingiy as
it is sometimes conceded. ii is never
theless a fact that the bulk of the con-
tinent of Africa is still untouched by
western civilization. /, for one, can
not believe that Africa win ever be
Europeanized or brought within the
pale of western progress. For, in or
der that Africa may progress, it is abb
solutely essential that it be developed
along natural lines; but, as yet, the
inherent powers of native genius have
neither been discovered, nor, in the
of any cohesion among native
tribes. and il view of European rapaci-
ty. are they, even if discovered, ever
likely to be encouraged or fostered
No; Africa IS continent fated to be
and exploited by the heirs
of civilization, 10 whom it may pay
tribute. but homage never.

The company which was extending
a trolley road into the historic por-

summer, was forced to abandon its
work of Dissertation because of finan
cial embarrassment. The lack of
money was doubtless largely due to
the vigorous protests that had come
from all portions of the country
against the building of the road, and
to the possibility Of either State or
national interference. But the compa-
ny found itself recuperated enough fl
nancially this spring to resume opera
tons, and il was about to continue its

nally, however, il has been thwarted
in its purpose by the government com

A Bad Accident Averted by the Skill

full Handling Of Train.
Townsville, Ga, May 12.-The bridge
over the Ochlocknee river, six miles from
this place, on the Albany road, was
burned this afternoon, and a terrible &C
cident was averted only by the skillful
handling of freight train. The freight
train, which left here after 3 o'clock,
came upon the burning bridge while run
ming about twenty miles an hour. The
bridge is Just around a curve, and
the fire was not seen by the
engineer until within a few hundred
yards of it. BY the quickest work posi-
BILE, the train was stopped within car
length of the fire. A distance of two car
lengths of the bridge was burned The
construction train was sent out from here
at once, and the burned portion was re-
paired so that trains could pass at a late
hour tonight. II is not known here how
the fire started, but the general opinion
is that it was the work of incendia-
ries. No train had passed over the
bridge since S o'clock yesterday morning,
and if the fire had started from a spark
dropped by the engine of this train, the
whole bridge would have been consumed
long before 3 O'Clock, at which time it was
discovered

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
The Candidates for the Governorship
and Senatorshin.

Columbia, S. c., May 12,-The lul pre-
ceding the storm to begin with the open
ing of the campaign prevails in South
Carolina politics.
Since the dispensary decision the race
for governor has scarcely been mentioned.
The candidates themselves nave held
their tongues, and the silence IS growing
oppressive.
John Gary Evans, though, is still a pos
tive factor lie is a bright fellow
keen. stiletto-like stump speaker, and
with all the airs of an aristOcrat. pos
sesses the Callahan aptitude for I'M
pressing the masses. Onthe other hand,
his opponents, without exception, are
quiet gentlemen, who make 40 pretense
10 oratory.
Senator w. D. Evans, the president Of
the state alliance and distant cousin Of
John Gary Evans, comes from Marlboro
county, in the Pee Dee section Con-
troller General w. H. Ellerbe, who is
almost as young as the Aiken man, IS from
the adjoining county of Marion. Both Of
these candidates are farmers, both
Ocalaites and both popular. Each, how
ever, while gifted with brains enough for
all ordinary purposes, is totally without
declamatorv abilities. They are compar
atively helpless on the stump and their
strength consists largely of the support OF
TeT0FUeIS, " no 90 AlDt 1LGLASu hALAaAg ANBA-
ings for their ambitious young lawyer
competitor
DR.. Sampson Pope, of Newberry, a
brother Of the associate Justice, and now
clerk of the Senate, speaks well enough,
but has never been 'in'' the race. His
county is doubtful ground, and the Till
NANTES have at most narrow majority.
Last year in a special election an anti
Tillmanite was elected over retormer
TO I'LL a vacancy in the state Senate. Be-
sides, DR. Pope has his share of enemies,
and not long ago in the club of which he
is a member was badly wOrsted. DR..
Pope is a pronounced protectionist, claims
TO be an Ocalaite, but pledges himself to
do his fighting within the democratic or
ganization. This is more than the other
Tillmanite candidates have so far ven
tured to do. He stands no chance what
ever to succeed Gov. Tlllman.
THE FIGHT FOR THE SENATE.
Senator Butler is saying nothing and
probably doing a great deal through mis-
political agents and friends, but outsiders
know little of his plans. He spent several
days in this city last week, and the i'm
preston is that a careful and
systematic campaign has been ar
ranged by politicians of the shrewd-
est sect that the state contains.
Their idea appears to be, for the present
anyhow, TO Work on the dead quleE''
with no resort to brass bands, sky-rock-
cts and interviews. The senator has re-
Gently addressed veterans in all parts of
the state and is said to have been uni
formly well received. There is no reason
though TO believe that he has yet made
any extensive inroads on Gov. Tillman's
territory.
Accounts differ as to the reorganiEa-
tion last week of the democratic club in
Merriwether township Edgefeld county,
where both Butler and Tillman reside.
Friends of each candidate claim vic
tory, and it is likely that the contest
throughout Edgefeld county will be
equally as close. ]. W. G.

CADETS AT ANNAPOLIS.
Representative Maddox Renews His
Fight Over the Appointments.

F4RnL OVeT the appointments
Washington, May Representative
Maddox took the floor to-day against the
privilege which has been exercised by the
Secretary of the Navy by appointing
cadets TO Annapolis, and crediting them
to districts in which they do not live.
There are over thirty cadets now at the
naval school put down from states and
districts in which they have never lived.
There are two thus accredited to Georgia,
one to the Seventh and one to the Ninth
district. The appointments were made
when congressman failed to name ap-
pointees themselves. Judge Maddox Of
fered an amendment to the naval bill,
declaring vacant the thirty places not
held by young men so appointed. He
backed his amendment by a vigorous
speech, but it did no good.
Amos Cummings offered a substitute,
which would not involve removing the
cadets, some of whom have almost COM
pleted their entire course.
Judge Maddox began to speak again,
but was hung up on the point of no
quorum, and the matter went over. He
will offer his amendment again Monday
