Further conferences on the subject

Crowds Of people continue to watch

Atlanta, Ga, August ia special to
The Constitution from Greenwood, S. c.,
says: The second day of the farmers
institute was %lenlivened by a speech
from Senator B. r. Tillman. Al the
very beginning of his talk Senator Till
mar pitched into the whitecappers who
nave been terrorizing q portion. OF this
county for the last ten days and whip
ping inoffensive negroes The senator
called them white towards and said
they were a disgrace to the county. He
thought that if the Tolberts, republi-
can party leaders in this section Of the
south, were still stirring up the negroes,
they ought to be dealt with.
eff yuu want to uproot this evil and
kill the snake, go kill the ToIberts, but
don't abuse the poor, innocent black
wretches," said the senator in an out
burst.
'"The yankees" said Senator Till
man, "are watching us closely and the
eyes of the whole world are on the race
problem at the south. They will take
advantage of everything of this kind
to abuse the south. You are just play
ing into the yankees hands. They are
wanting to cut down u representation
in congress because of our new election
laws; but, otherwise, there is little bit
ter feeling now between the two Sec
irons. This sort Of thing. if continued,
will arouse bad feeling.
why, just look at that Jewett wo-
man coming down here and taking
away the niger p~ostmaster's family
continued The enatOr "She comes from
Boston, the head and center Of all dew
ilment- The yankees are ready to take
up any such deviltry as this whitecap-
ping business and you people ought to
put a stop to it,"
Senator Tilman then talked largely
on agricultural affairs, denounced the
war in the Philippines and closed with
some choice invectives against newspa-
pers.

THE TRANSvAAL SITUATION
Reply to the British Demand Delay ed
Eagland's Emergency Force

London, August 16.-The Transvaal
situation is unchanged, according to all
obtainable official information, but the
continued delay of the Boer answer to
Great Britain's demand for a joint in
quiry as to the effect upon the Uitland-
ers of the proposed franchise reform
measures makes matters look more Sc
rious.
The war office has completed its prep
a~rations for an emergency force OF 30
600 men to be ready to leave within a
week. Fast steamers for their trans
portation are waiting orders.
