WANTS GEOLOGICAL BUREAU.
GOV. McSweeney Makes RecOmmen-
dRtion TO LegIsInture.

dRtion to Legislature.
Columbia, S, c.. Jan, 3l.-Gov MoSwee-
ney sent a message to the Legislature to-
day, earnestly urging the establishment
of a bureau of geological survey. He
says:
while South Carolinians may Justly be
proud of the activity manifested in cotton
manufacture, yet when our eyes are turn
ed 10 other spheres of Industrial activ-
ity we find the contrast between them and
cotton manufacture quite marked IN no
other lines may the state be said TO be
doing what she might easily do. The
great need of the state to-day along in
dustrial lines is a proper realization and
appreciation of the wealth of undevelop-
ed resources which she has within her
borders"
The general government annually spends
hundreds of thousands of dollars In sci
entihc and economic Investigations. This
money goes almost exclusively to those
parts of the country where the people
evince sufficient interest in the develop
ment of their resources to spend some
money in their own behalf. None of il
has been coming to South Carolina. The
department of agriculture. which did some
work along this line, was abolished by
the first Tillman Legislature.

RACE QUESTION DISCUSSED.
Indian Appropriation Bill Was Made
the Excuse for IT,

IndIan Appropriation Bill Was Made
the Excuse for 1t.
Washington, Jan 81. Under the latitude
allowed in general debate upon appropri-
alton bills the Indian appropriation bill in
the House to-day was made the occasion
for the discussion of a wide range of pub
lie questions.
our policy in the Philippines, the gov
eminent of Porto Rico, the leasing of our
ARID lands. and election methods in the
South were in turn brought into the are
ma. The most interesting debate occurred
over the latter subject Mr.. Linney of
North Carolina, a former Democrat who
joined the Republican party in 1894 and
who is one of the breezy takers of the
House, used as a text for the introduction
of the subject the amendment to the con-
sltutlon of his state, which he claimed
was designed to disfranchise the negro.
quite number of members were drawn
into the discussion, and Mr.. Linneys
statements provoked an eloquent reply
from Mr. Williams of Mississippi who
justified to the fullest extent the action
of certain Southern states, on the ground
that the participation of the ignor-
ant and ilHterate was necessary to pre-
vent the spbmergence of civilization.
White of North Carolina, the only col
ored representative in the House, said:
Il have investigated the lynchings in the
South and l find that less than Is per
cent. OF them are due to the crime of
rape. And l desire to announce here
that if it were not for the assaults of
white men upon black women there would
be less of the other class"
The public galleries contained many ne
groes, who appauded this utterance Wig
