SENATOR TILLMAN SPEAKS
Does not Believe the Cotton Mill Men Are Advocates of Commercial
 Dennocrecv

Union. S C., Aug. s.--seuator F. R. Tillman was the last speaker at the big meeting here today. He discussed the Commercial Democracy advocated by Senator McLaIrin. and said in part:
 The report is going the rounds that the mills are behind this new doctrine. I do not believe any such report. I deny that the mills and their owners want to turn the State over to the Republicans. I give them credit for more patriotism and for more sense. These mill people know better than to run into stone wall. These people are not for sale. want to give d warning to those who have been misled There are some of these weak creatures around. but I feel that all are not so foolish. In 1890 we had 100000 spin dies and now there are about ,000 spindles. The boom began when Cleve- land was in the White House. Cleveland did nothing to help mills nor did Mckin- ley help them. They were built simply because they were found profitable here; because of the nearnesS to the field and the climate. Our goods entered China on q competitive basis pure and simple. The cry that if we do not join the Republican Party we will go backwards is a humbug and a ie It is common sense that If we have the goods and the prices we Will sell the goods. "

LAYS IT TO THE CHURCH.
Responsible tor he Burdens" ot the Negro Race.

Philadelphia, Aug. 9.-The closing session of the National Afro-American Council was held today and consider able excitement was occasioEed by the resignation of ex-Congressman George H. White of North Carolina, as Vice President of the ouncil. He declared that he did not want the position be- cause of the methods pursued in the election and arraigned Bishop Walters for accepting the presidency after his avowed intention not to be a candi- date. Chaplain Steward, of the regu- lar army, spoke of the part which the colored soldier has played in the his tory of the nation, which caused F. l.. Barnett to reply with a vigorous denunciation of the Governments methods of promotions. He made men, tion of a young colored man of the Sth Volunteers who. after being mustered out, was refused an examination fer the regular service.
 A resolution was adopted to memori- alize Congress to establish a. Freed mans Inquiry Committee to make an investigation of the condition of the negro in the South, and to bring about a greater degree of harmony between the two races. The Council closed with an address by Bishop T. T. Tan ner, in which he laid rhe blame for race prejudice on the hypocrisy of the church.
 "The church." he said "can strain her eyes to see anything but the equal ity of the negro. I lay at the door of the Christian church every burden we have to bear. If 1t were Gn any way moved by Christian spirit all our bat ties and burdens would cease"

NEW RAILWAY LINES.
Anniston is Now Interested in Two
 Projects.

Anniston, Aug. 9.-(Special)-A ef- fort is now being made by the citizens of Arnlston, Gadsden and Attalla to have an extension built on the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad that will run into the rich iron ore and coal region Of Rlount County. These lands are about twenty-five miles from Anniston direct, but at present the nearest railroad route from here to the region is one hundred and eighty miles The distance from Attalla and Gadsden by the lines now used is also too great to get the coal cheaply. It is thought by the citizens of the places mentioned that if the project to get the Louisville and Nashville people to build this extension is successful, 1t will mean cheaper fuel for all three cities.
 A committee from Gadsdcn and At talIa came here yesterday to confer with the Annist0n Industrial Assoeia- tion relative to the proposed extension. The committee net several citizens of Anniston in the City Court room and the situation was discussed. IL was decided that committee be appointed from the Anniston Association tn work in ccnJunCticn with the Gadsden and AttalIa committees and collect all data

possible. } Later the committees will WaitsOn Milton H. Smith and lay be- fore him the matter.
 If this extension is built, it will mean a great deal for Anniston, as fuel can then be obtained at about half what is now paid. The members of the com- mittee feel confident that when all data is collected and the matter is presented to the President of the Louisville and Nashville Road that it will be received with favor.
 Anniston stands a good chance to get another railroad. President J. w. Watts of the Montgomery Northern Railway is now in the city to confer with MT. John B. Rees, Secretary of the old Anniston and Montgomery Railroad, which had for its object the building of a road from Anniston to Montgomery. For some reason, the thing fell through, and it is understood that Mir Watts may purchase the char ter of the old company for his road. If this is done 1t is very probable that a direct line from this city to Mont gomery will be built. 1t is proposed to operate the line by electricity.
 So far. the gentlemen have given out no definite information in regard to the matter, but it is certain that such a line is being seriously contemplated. If built. it will put Anniston in direct connection with Montgomery.

COLUMBIA IN BAD SHAPE
Swift United States Cruiser Was in Danger of Sinking at Her
 Moorings.

Ne" foIk; Aug "A o9ara or lrspec- went to the Navy Yard today to examine the collier Brutus and the cruiser Co., lumbia.
 An officer of the Navy Yard said today that if the Columbia had stayed at League Island much longer he believed she would have sunk at her moorings. Q continued:
 'T am surprised that the Columbia reached here without more difficulty than she encountered. There is not a pump on the vessel that will work, for the corro- sion and rust that covers everything. It is only by the use of hand-pumpS that We can keep her from settling in the water. Until the pumps have been taken apart and cleaned they are useless and we will have to keep her free of water by the use of hand-pUmps."
