Patriotism and Religion.

My daughter who teaches in mis-
sion Sunday school, tells me Of a
Dewey experience che had with a
youngster making his first appearance.
She had put him through half hour
or more of instruction in the rudimen-
tary principles, for he was entirely
lacking in information on that point,
and to test him was reviewing her
work with him.
"Now," she said, "tell me again
who made the world and all that is in
it 2"
"God did," replied the boy, with
commendable promptitudc.
Good can do everything, can't Hep"
she asked again.
The boy hesitatcd a moment.
II dom believe He CT Id lick Dew
ey,' he answered at LIST, and his
teacher sat silent between her religion
and her patriotism. 1t wasn't her
time to say anything, if she didn t
want to lose that boy forever, and she
had wit enough to let it go at that.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Admiral
Sampson has been directed to send
his prisoners to the United States.
Possibly the Harvard will bring some
of them. The St. Louis is filled with
wounded soldiers aud cannot be used

they will be confined on Seavy island,

Senate and Imnerfalsm

Advices from Washington hold out
the hope that whatever shall be agreed
upon by the peace commissioners re-
garding the Philippines, it is yet a far
cry to the contamination of the admin
istratiOn's policy of Imperialism.
Daily it becomes more apparent, we
are told, that the president will find
it 40 easy task to bring the senate to
the ratification of a treaty annexing
the group. The administration has
made imperialism a party question, ap-
pealing always to republicans-never
to democrats. Without democratic
support it would be impossible to Sc
cure annexation, and what with the
administration partisan course in the
matter and the antagonism to annex-
alton in the rank and file of the demo-
cratic party, the chances of securing
support are, it is said, growing smaller
by degrees and beautifully less.
But, in addition to this, some of the
strongest and most influential fepub-
lican members of the senate are vio-
lently a~ntagonistic to Imperialism.
HOar and Hale, and according to the
Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, these two, and Senator
German, are reported to have made a
tripartite agreement to defeat any
treaty for the acquisition of the Phil
ippines.
The Suns correspondent says, fur
ther that whether the report of a for
NAL agreement be true or not, the three
are SO bitterly opposed to Philippine
annexation, they would naturally CO.
operate in an effort to defeat the pro-
ject, and he makes no mistake in add
ing that such a team would be apt to
put a big stumbling block in the path
of the presidents progress towards
Observation-Disclosures Dispatch.

in from South Carolina armed with

In from south 0aEOilnd armed viii
shot guns" And this in conclusion:
Governor Russell, Of North Caro-
lima, has issued q good enough procla-
nation, in which he declares that this
state of lawlessness exists, and COM
mands the insurgents to dispense; but
it is quite improbable that throwing
grass Will do any good. II is very like
ly that by thu destroying a republic
can form Of government the state will
be redeemed from the rule Of the peo-
pie, for a while. All this teaches the
ole lesson that education, education
Of the common people, is the only way
to show them how to their
rights; and il ought TO teach also that
violent irsurrection should be met n
quelled by force. II used to be said hat
the negro had no rights which a white
man was bound to respect. The real
fact is that armed marauders ave no
rights which anybody, white or black,
is bound TO respect. Their only right
is suppression"
This shows how little the average
northern editor knows about h true
conditions of things in the south. The
uprising in North Carolina is not d
mere political contest for the spoils Of
office. 1t is a desperate struggle for
white supremacy. On the one side are
the respectable white men of the state,
regardless of previous party utilization,
and On the other Russell and Butler
and other political adventures with
their black cohorts. 1t is, in short, a
contest between the wealth and intelli-
gence of the Old North State and the
ignorance and the corruption of the
Observation-Disclosures combination. If
these men are "insurrectionists,' as
The Independent is pleased to call
them, SC also were our forefathers
when they took up arms in 1916 for
good government.
The idea that Governor Russell rep
resents the law and order element of
the state of North Carolina is too alb
surd for serious consideration. Russell
represents nat element hat has
brought on this conflict, and for that
element to remain in owe is to throw
the whole state into a condition of law
lessness. There can be no peace in the
state of North Carolina, or in any 9TH
er state of the union, so long as it's
government is in the hands of the Rus
sells and the Buffers and the negroes.
If The Independent would take a calm
view of the situation and see it as it is,
it Would open its eyes to the fact that
this uprising. which it calls an insur-
rectiOn, is absolutely necessary to the
peace and good order of North Caro-
lima.
Our readers know that The Times
has always stood for the majesty and
dignity of the law and has protested
against all acts of lawlessness, but The
Times has conscientiously lone all tina
it could to help the white mems move
ment in North Carolina for the reason
that the success of that movement is
necessary to establish law and order
in that grand old commonwealth. The
white men will succeed and the negro
party will be put down. and there will

A National Danger
(The Philadelphia Press.D

The report of the Dawes Indian Com
mission presents a problem to which
congress at its next session should give
early attention. This relates 10 the
education Of 80. 900 white children now
growing up in ignorance IN the Indian
territory.
There are about 300,0 900 white resi-
dents in the territory who have settled
there by consent of the Indians. They
have. in most cases. purchased lands
of Indians and built houses and made
valuable improvements. There are
numerous towns and villages settled
by these white residents. who own all
he property. But as the Indians hold
title to their lands only as tribes, the
white residents have no legal title, as
none could be given, and the Indians
want them elected. That will not be
done. They are to be allowed to buy
a second time the land they occupy.
and the second purchase will be a legal
one under this proposition.
But when they nave paid a second
time for their property, and the re-
naming land has been divided In sew
crafty among the Indians, there will be
no public land for school
Whatever there may be can only be
used for the Indians. In the organi-
cation Of other territories and states a
large amount of public and has been
devoted TO the establishment and ain
tenance of public schools. The United
States government owns no land in the
Indian Territory. Hence, the 80, 900
white children In that territory viii
continue to grow up in ignorance. as
far as the government is concerned.
h people, as a rule. are too poor to
establish public schools.
This situation should not continue.
Congress should see that means arc
provided to help educate those chill
dren. 1t is appalling to think of his
great number OF children growing up
in ignorance in that territory. Ii
should not be allowed to continue.
The Indians are much better of in that
respect thar are the white people.
1t is gratifying to learn from the
report OF the commission that the
tribal relations Of the Indians In that
territory are about to be broken up
and the lands divided among the In
dians in ~severalty. That is the only
way TO solve the Indian problem. IL

Dawes commission has, with the aid OF
congress, carried out the purpose OF

Greensboro Record.)
There have been good speeches and
good speeches delivered in Greensboro
this campaign and it is even hard now
to say which was the best, taken all
around but that delivered by Major
Stedman on Saturday night in the
court house was a hummer and no
mistake.
Major Stedman is different from al
most all those who have spoken. He
has a distinct individuality, Il magnifi-
cent voice, though Saturday night he
had a very bad cold, and his way of
putting the issues of the fight was new
and most interesting.
He first took up the state OF affairs
Immediately after the war when he
came home from Appomatox and found
everything in ruins After turning
things over in his mind and trying to
see what was best, in his opinion, for
the country he cast his lot with the
democratic party and from that day TO
this has never scratched a ticket.
Then in order TO more forcibly con-
trast the two great parties he went hur-
riedly over the days of reconstruction,
~recounting the deeds OF the legislature
of '6S. Not a scrap of paper did he
have, but these things were so indel-
libby Impressed upon his memory that
he ratified off the figures without a
break, while his way of doing it was
entirely new, making it interesting
to even those who have heard the
ground covered often this campaign.
His arrangement of the republican
party and the history of the formation
of the populist party and final out
come of the fusion deal was handled
in a most charming manne And
through it all there was not n word
Of abuse for any one, rather was it
pity and sympathy for those who have
been deceived and led away by the
demagogue and the pie hunter.
He was cheered and cheered through
out his speech of just an hour. Near
ing the close of his argument the
speaker rose to heights of %eloQuence,
holding his hearers %spellbound for
minutes at a time, and then would
come the most deafening cheers and at
his close almost the entire crowd press
ed around him and shook his hands.
But this was not all-there was a
perfect demonstration after he had
quit speaking, the vast crowd rising in
their seats and yelling themselves
hoarse, keeping it up during the hand
shaking.
Major Stedman is an orator Of the
old school and his few equals in the
country.

A BLOODY RACE RIOT
OCCURS IN EDGEFIELD COUNTY,
SOUTH CAROLINA


Nan at the PolIs-Two Whites Killed
Others woundeJ-A Number of Ne
groes shot
Charleston, S. c., November S.-A
special to the News end Courier from
Greenwood, S. c., says:
In today's election the people Of this
of the days of 1850" Although un-
usually quiet at this precinct, intense
excitement has prevailed all day be-
cause of the shooting of Mr.. Boaz Eth
ridge, one of the managers of the cleo
ton at Phoenix early this morning
and a subsequent riot between the
whites and blacks at that place, IN
which one of the Tolberts and several
negroes were MORALLY wounded. Phoe-
nix is ten miles from here and near
the Edgefeld line. 1t is the home OF
the Tolberts, the cradle of republican
ism in Abbeyville county. The be-
aus of this fact, it is said, the ne
groes, acting under instructions went
to this box in larger numbers than any
other, in order to give r. r. Tolbert,
1t is also stated that the negroes were
armed with Winchesters. Large crowds
of armed white men are gathering and
much bloodshed, with the loss of life,
is looked for before or after nightfall.
The negroes are also gathering and
are very defiant.
From parties returning from Phoe-
nix late this evening, it is learned that
the negroes had a separate box in
charge of r. P. Tolbert, into which
such as could not vote in the regular
boxes would deposit certificates that
they were net allowed to vote for r..
r. TOlbert for congress, which certi-
ficates he expected to use in his con-
test for Lattimer's seat.
Mr.. Ethridge attempted to lake
charge of it, and was shot dead by one
or more of the negroes, who were
crowding around it. Immediately the
few white men who could procure arms
or had them, opened fire on the crowd,
and continued to shoot them as they
ran. 1t is not known definitely how
many negroes were hit, nor how Sc
riously r. p. Tolbert was wounded, but
he anage to reach his home, a mile
off. He was still living at shutdown,
and is not likely to be further modest
ed, as he has never been prominent as
a leader. The white people, several
hundred strong, are we'll armed, cool
and determined, and if the leaders in
today's trouble are caught tonight no
power on earth can save them from a
lynching.
Mr.. Ethridge was a quiet n we'll
TODD citizen. He leaves a wife and
several children.
The latest authenic information is
that John r. Tolbert has been danger
ously wounded and his little nephew,
son of E. l.. Tolbert, who was in the
buggy with him, was instantly killed
while on their way home this evening
late.
While a party of white men from
Ga wood were returning from PhOe-
nix tonight they were fired on from
ambush and M. J. Younger, Cresswel
Fleming and a Mr.. Miller were badly
wounded and are now at A. G.. Stock
mans, five miles from here. Drs.
Cobb and Neill were with them and are
attending their wounds. 1t is said
that when Jno. R. Tolbert was shot
he had with him a body of armed ne
groes, who opened fire on THE white
men, w%ounding one. 1t is not known
here whether any of the negroes were
hit or not.
