THE NATIONS DUTY no TuE NEGRO.
bishop Pettey speaks at the Race
Congress nt Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 15-Bshop c. c.
Pettey of North Carolina, a representa-
tive negro Of the south. spoke to-day at
the race congress on the Duty of the
Nation TO the Negro" In the course of
his address he said: "The negro, either
by contact or in the schools OF theory,
has learned something about applied sci-
enCo, and as his old trades have been ele-
waited and dignifed by machinery. he
would like TO be elevated with them. The
washwoman would now like TO enter the
steam laundry, since IL has captured her
business. The blacksmith would like to
enter the foundry, where they are now
molding the plowshares he once made
with his hammer; and where the negro Is
capable Of following his old trade TO a
more elevated station We believe IL the
duty of the nation to allow him to do so
While we entertain no feelings against
Foreigners, we believe IL TO be our birth
right as American citizens, and, there
fore, appeal to the sentiment of this
nation and ask that every door to foun-
dries, factories and machine shops Of
every kind be opened alike to negroes and
whites. This is the duty of the nation to
the negro. ! have always been protec-
zionist, but If every cotton mill Is TO be
run by immigrants from across the sea,
while our sons and daughters who are
black and poor, but to the manner born
true and patriotic American citizens-are
ries of this country, l would advise the
negroes to vote for whatever party may
represent low tariff or free trade for all
fabricated material.
Il have never discussed politics publicly
IN my life. But on an occasion like this
when called upon to represent the senti-
ment of my church, feel II to be pardon
able for daring to speak my sentiments
touching the vital issues OF the day II
low tariff or free trade On certain commo-
dities is TO the best interest Of the white
south, II certainly Is to the best interest
of the black south, who produce the raw
material, manufacture nothing, but are
all-round consumers. And II free silver, as
Il is now termed, Is TO the best interest OF
the laboring classes of this country, es-
pecially OF the south and west, Il must be
doubly so to the negro i have thought for
twenty years whether or not the negro Is
doing right in voting solidly for any one
national party. j would advise the race TO
be slaves to no party because Of pure SEN
timent or misguding politicians, but
would call upon every man OF the race TO
be a free man at the polls and vote his in
dividual sentiments looking well TO the
best interest not only for the common
country, but to the best local sectional in
terest as well, and for the best men to rep-
resent that interest And IL also becomes
the duty of the citizens OF the south not
only to protect the life and property Of the
colored man, but TO see that the negro OBJ
tains a prop0rtionate portion OF the pat
ronage of the offices Of the local and fed
eral governments

\ cAROLINA's POLL TAX.
The Convention Leaves It at s1-The
TIlImans in Row

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 1.-THE consti-
tutionaI convention discussed to-day the
question of poll tax. Propositions TO
make it 81 or $50 were voted down, and
it was fixed at 81.
The night session Of the convention prov
ed to be one Of the most sensational since
the convention assembled two months ago.
Uncle George Tillman and his brother,
Senator Tillman, who are not on the best
terms, got into a heated discussion on the
subject of education; the record of Glenn
son college being the bone of contention.
Some very harsh things We're said by both
and the convention listened and did not
interfere.
When the convention met tonight some
slight and immaterial amendments were
made TO the vital clause of the educa-
uonal article and then it was adopted
providing for the common school system
the three mill educational tax. the one
dollar poll tax ana the supplementary tax,
cities of over 10000 inhabitants being eX-
empted from its provisions.
The convention then took up the Ordi-
nance providing for the pOstponement of
the session Of the general assembly until
the second week of next January and
adopted it.
Then the section of the educational ar
ticle relating to the higher educational in
stitutions was taken up and the question
of inserting clauses for the maintenance
of each was discussed
1t was here that George d. Tillman
took the floor and began his speech. lie
was sarcastic from the beginning to the
end, and when he tackled the record OF
Clemson College he scored from Alpha TO
Omega. He did not wish any of the in
stitutions 10 be put down. He said that
South Carolina was but little patch of
the world about the size of three Texas
cattle counties, but il had all the aspira-
tions of an empire and was trying here
TO adopt an elaborate system of educa-
ton in forty-eight hours in order to get
the young white men ready to meet the
educational reform requirements by 1897
Then he tackled the suffrage article. spoke
about the promises that Senator Tillman
and the other reform leaders had made
to the people about disfranchising no
white man, except for crime, and doing
il honestly. He charged them with hav-
ing broken them, and dealt them some
heavy blows.
Senator Tillman in his speech tried to
be calm and dignifed, but frequently lost
his temper and some of his remarks
in regard to his brothe er's prejudices were
scarcely DarliamentarV

difficulty from the train crew until the
train passed New River There they were
approached by negro and a white man.
The negro addressed Perkins and said he
wanted a quarter. He claimed to be
brakeman, and said Perkins must either
pay or get of. Perkins replied that he
had no money. The men seized him and
threw him headlong from the train, while
il was going fifteen miles an hour Per-
kins alighted on his head and was in
stantly killed. Wilson, fearing he was GO
ing to be thrown off, jumped and was

his estimates are only for works whose
plans have already been approved by con-

been previously made and the amount
IN each case has been carefully consid-
cred IN the eEpectatton that il would not
be reduced or scaled down If any appro-
priation be made
