White Supremacy In Alabama.

White Supremacy in Alabama.
Birmingham, Dec. 10.--The spe-
cial committee of the lower House,
appointed to visit certain convict
camps in this State, is said to have
found ~ white and black convicts
sleeping In an apartment about
6Ox7O feet in size. They found
that the hospital is about 1878 feet
in size and that whites and blacks
are required to occupy it together
when sick.
They also think that white and
blacks are fed out of the buckets in
the same apartments in which they
sleep. The punishment Of this
camp is said to be too severe, the
committee having occasion to ex-
anime one negro whose head was
badly bruised and cut from the
blows ofa large stick. Another con-
vioe had bean cut with knise in
i've places.

Robeson County's Growth.

Lumberton Robesonian.
The census returns for 1900 show
that Robeson still holds the fourth
place in population among the cOun-
ties Of the Sla'e Her population Is
4O,37l. Only Meckl-nburg with
55,26s, Wake with 54,623 and Bun
combe with A, ,2SS lead her, Char
lotte, Raleigh aud Asneville help to
swell the population of these lead
ing three. Robeson has no large
town, therefore she has the largest
moral population in the State In
the past ten years the population of
Robson has increased $3.50; Meek
lenburg 8,268, Wake 5,4lS and Bum
combe 6,O22. Therefore, Robson
has grown faster than two of these
three, while the other has beat her
only 1872. They may well look to
their laurels at the end of the next
decade. The fertility of our land,
purity and abundance of our water
the healthfulness Of the surround
ings offered for home makers and
large quantities Of uncleared forest,
! for new farms will draw to US more
people probably in the next ter
years than have come In the pas
ten.

Prevented The People WIN Endorse
This Measure,
Washington, Dec. 8.-The House yes
terday passed the Grout Oleomargarine
Yill by vote of l98 to 92.
Th- bill "a passed makes all articles
knOwn as OleOmargarine, butterine, i'm
ltatiOn of butter or INIT alton cheese
transported INTO any State or Terrific
~ for consumption or sale subject to
the pole power of such State or Ter
ritOry, but prevents any State or Ter
ritory from fOrbiiding the transpOrta.
tion or sale Of such product when pro-
duced and sold free from coloration in
imitation. The bill increases the tax
on OleOmargsrine cOlored in imitation
Of butter from two to ten cents per
pound, and decreases the tax Un oleo-
margarine uncOlOred from two cents TO
Aquarter cent per pound.
A long and interesting debate prece-
ded the vote In course of which those
who favored the Grout Bill claim, the
additional tax on colored oleomarga-
rine was the only effective remedy for
preventing fraud upon the public,
while those VINO opposed IL contended
that fraud would be prevented by the
substitute, and that the real purpose
Of the Grout Bill was to destroy the
oleomargarine industry.
Confederation of the bill began imme-
diately after reading of the journal
Mr. Henry, (COn y opened the debate
In its support. He explained the fea-
tur,s of the bill. The increase of the
tax on colored imita ion butter, he
said. the majority of the Committee on
Agriculture believed was absolutely
necessary to protect The dairy interests
of the country.
The cause of the enormous amount of
fraud and the illegal selling of oleOmar-
garine, he said, was due to the great
profits derived from the sale of the lrn-
itation because of ITS abso ute counter
felt Of butter. Thirty-two states al
ready had absolutely forbidden the
manufacture and sale of oleOmargarine
COlOred imitation of butter, he aid.
Mr. Henry cited figures to show that
include X the payment of the present
internal revenue tax of two cents the
cost Of manufacturing was no. more
than ten cents per pound Mr. Henry
said the increase OF the tax would pre-
We, the large prof while the reduc-
tion of the tax on Ole0margarine In its
natural color would enable those who
desired to consume it to procure 1t at
lower cost than heretofore.
Mr.. GrOut, fVt y aut nor of the bill,
VIII then took charge of the measure
declared that the purpose of the bi !, in
which every man, woman a. d child was
interested, was to suppress fraud in the
sale Of a food produce by pc. venting

tion of butter. over 104, ,0OO, 600 pounds
of "l"Omargarine had been manufac.
tured and solo last year. That va:
about One-ninth of the butter consumed

mr. Grout produced figures to show
that oleomargarine costs less than nine
cents per pound and was worked off or

recognized Mr.. Dalzell to move to close
debate upon the appeal
Debate was closed, SO to 80, and the
Chair was sustained, 81 to SO.
Mr.. Vandiver then made the point of
order that the provision to pay $545 a
ton for armor of the Maine, Ohio and
Missouri, was a change of existing law
and, therefore, out of order.
The act of March 9rd, 1899, he said,
limited the cost of armor plate to $500
ton. The act of the previous year limited
the cost to $l00 ton.
The point of order was finally sustained
by the Chair. The Democrats greeted
the decision with applause.
Mr. Bingham (Pa.), speaking TO pro
forma amendment denied on the authority
of Mr. Cramp of the Cramp Ship Build
ing Company that there had ever been
proposition for combination between
his firm and the Carnegie Company on the
subject of armor plate.
The provision for the repeal of the re-
striction of $500 a ton in the current law
went out on a point of order.
Without further amendment the bill
was reported to the House. Mr.. Under
wood Dem, Ala.) demanded separate
vote on each amendment and on the fret
made the point of no quorum. The Speak
er was unable to count quorum, where
upon Mr.. Underwood moved an adjourn
ment The motion was lost, but the
quorum failed on the next vote, and at
6:25 o'clock without finally dispCsing OF
the bill the House adjourned.
