TiIlman Talks OF Roosevelt.

Chicago, November 17.-Scnator B. r..
Tillman, of South Carolina, speaking to
tho students at Lacrosse to- day on ",rhe
Negro Problem from the Southern Point
of View," said:
Residents in the Northern States do
not roalizc the Importance of this race
question. They sec but little of tho
negroes, who are not humorous up hero
to be of any account, and people up here
arc given to the rising on the negro
question. say they are not familiar
with the conditions or thoy would feel
like the mon in tho South.
"The negro has in his heart q secret
longing, but nearly hopeless desire, that
tho two races. That is just what wo
people down South arc fighting against.
you have, perhaps, heard it said that
education will solvo tho negro problem.
1t will not as long rs there are SO many
dissolute and worthless negroes in tho
South. Educate tho negro and you leavo
in him tho thought and belief that he is
IL little better than the ordinary negro,
and he does not want to labor any more.
You don't find educated negroes work
ing in the folds. Thon he gets the idea
of race equality with tho white man.
What do / think of President Roosc-
volt inviting Booker IT. Washington to
dine with himp Just this: l can sec no
fair reason for it. 1t was not demanded
on any hand. He lowered himself in tho
minds of tho Southern people by doing
it. Perhaps President Roosevelt saw
something in the nature of the spoctacu.
lar in his act. Perhaps he thought it
daring and original. Personally, L be-
lieve that if President Roosevelt could
undo his act he would do So"

SOME RAILROAD GOSSIP.
What Is Said About the Blue Ridge Leasing
S0utherns Limo TO Bolton.

The mention in Tho Daily Mail several
days ago of tho rumor that the Blue
Ridge Railroad was negotiating for the
lease of tho Southern's limo from Ander-
son to Bolton caused considerable COM
ment in local business circles.
The railroad people will not discuss
tho matter, bur thoro Is no doubt that a
deal of that kind IL on foot, and that it's
contamination depends largely upon tho
Wow that Anderson people take of it. If
Anderson people look with favor upon
the deal, so tho story goes, tho deal will
DO closed at an carly day, but if serious
objections arc fourthcoming it will doubt
officials arc particularly anxious to keep
on tho good side, so to speak, of Ander
fson, as most of tho patronage of tho road
comes from this point.
Naturally tho first question that arises
Is, how will tho proposed change affect
AndcrsoD's freight rates and train scr-
vice? Tho Daily Mail has learned from
that he has had assurances that tho
change will not effect freight rates, and
that it will result in better passenger
service. In fact it is the intention of
tho Bluo Ridge people to put ON n
through coach from Anderson to { 'larles-
ton at an early day in connection with
the Southern, and ultimately to put on
ehiouSh .lolllo 'loii Nhilttliit W SutIlcS
ton.
In this connection it is stated that the
Bluo Ridge road has given tho contract
for and will soon own q good deal of
rolling stock. Several engines and tho
necessary number of passenger coaches
are. to bo purchased, and also, it is
understood, n number of freight cars.
The new rolling stock will have tho lot
tering Of the Bluc Ridge railroad.
So far as tho lease of tho Southern limo
from Bolton by tho Blue Riugo is con
ccrncd, the business men of the city, or
most Of them, seem to be in favor Of it.
They take tho position, and there seems
to bo common scnsoin it, that tho Blue
Ridge would of necessity be friendly to
Anderson's interest, while with the
Southern this might not always DO tho
case. Anyway they argue it would bring
matters nearer home, and the people here
would know to whom to deal with when
they wanted to ask favors or mako de-
mands.
There is rumor, and many business
men in the city believe there is truth in
it, that tho people now owning tho Blue
Ridge really intend to extend tho road
over the mountains to Knoxville. A
great many reasons are urged why this
should and will be done, but after all the
wish may be father to tho thought, as
tho railroad officials themselves have
never sought the newspapers and con-
iirmed tho rumor.-Andcrson Daily Mail,
November 10.

A Romance in Real Lie.
Ncws and Courier, November III

News and Courier, November III
1t will no doubt be remembered that
several weeks ago the Sunday News
printed exclusively an account of the re-
uniting of Mr.. and Mrs. j. p. Pague, after
a separation of twenty-five years. The
following to tho Atlanta Constitution
from IIumbolt, Tenn, contains some
new developments in the remarkable
story:
"For twenty-five years j. b. Paguo
has lived on farm near here. IIe gave
his name as Bunk Banks. IIe married
in the neighborhood a year or two after
he came here and two children were
born to them. In 1889 his wifc died.
Several days ago he announced that his
name was j. b. Paguc, and that at the
time of his location in West Tennessee
he was a fugitive from justice, having
killed three negroes In Georgia and
that his fir wife was living in Augusta,
Ga, and lat hc was making prepara-
tions to return to his old home. Tho
story of this man is substantially as fol
lows
Gle lived in Augusta, Ga, in 1873.
In the municipal campaign of 1878, when
every man went with his hand on his
pistol, Pague was one of tho principal
workers for tho Democratic ticket, ard
~ wv PoiiihS paw uU NllCil Ilt WUS
stationed he challenged negro voter.
a difficulty followed in which number
of shots were exchanged between him
self and the negroes, resulting in two of
tho latter being killed outright, Paguo
escaping unhurt. IIo fled to South
Carolina and, while sleeping in hay
loft Of barn, he was surrounded by a
posse Of negroes who had followed him
in order to capture him. Pague opened
fire with rifle, killing ono negro and
making his escape.
Fearing to return to bid his wife and
child adicu, and realizing that South
Carolina was totally under negro domi-
nation, he camo to Tennessee.
"Soon after his settlement here he
heard through what he believed n rolia-
bic source that his wife and child were
dead, and he determined to settle porma-
ncntly here. Later he was married
again, as stated. His wifo and child,
however, were not dead and q short
time since ho learned tho truth and
determined t" "eturn to them. IIo wrote
to his wife was living in Spartan
burg, S. c., and sho bcsought him to
return to hor.
"With his children by his second wife
he left for Augusta, Ga, where they will
meet to spend their remaining days
together"

Who Killed the Alliance I

Yes, politics had great deal to do
with tho decadence of the Alliance, but
it was not the kind of politics that in
tluoncod Alliancemon to vote for their
brethren for Office, but it was politics Of
foreign birth that came into South Caro-
lima urging Alliancomen to renounco
both old parties; in word, to renounce
party foalty and vote for "Botsy and the
baby" When Bowden, who was room
matc of John l.. MoLaurin at the time,
in the city of Columbia, got control of
the Cotton Plant it had several thousand
Subscribers and the order in South Caro-
lima was in a prosperous condition. Ho
began at once to advocate his Third
party or Peoples party principles, and
many of us to this day have our own
ideas as to who wrote great many of
his editorials. But it matters not who
wrote them, the Cotton Plant under tho
control of j. w. BoWden killed the order
in South Carolina. While thousands of
us were true and loyal Alliancemen, we
wore South Carolinians and Democrats
before we were Alliancemen, and did not
intend TO be persuaded or oajoled into
any course that would endanger whito
supremacy in South Carolina.-"Pike,"

fore being released. He then settled at

75 years of ago and blind. They arc in
bad circumstances, but the citizens are

Object Of tho Ex.Queen's Trip.

San Francisco, November 17.-Former
Queen Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, who
arrived here yesterday, beside seeking
recovery Of health has come to consult
with the federal authorities relative to
tho crown lands in Hawaii. Those were
sequestered by the revolutionary govern
mont at the time the monarchy was
ovorthrown and DO attempt has since
been made to reimburse her for the loss
of the crown revenues, amounting to
some 100000 year. The Territorial
Legislature passed bill appropriating
$250,000 for the crown lands, but Presi-
dent Dole vetoed the bill on the ground
that there was not sufficient money in
the treasury to pay it. Subsequently,
the Legislature offered to grant her q
pension of $25, 900 year, but she refused
to accept the money for the reason that
it would place her on the list of charita-
bles, step that was exceedingly repug-
nant to her.
Before tho annexation of the islands
she was advised by competent attorneys
to, submit her claims to England for
arbitration.
The crown lands are ovor a million
acres in extent, and are worth about
