SAYS Son Was kidnapped.

Cumberland, Md, Aug. H.
William Hiles, a well-known farm
er, reported to the police at Han
cock last night that Chester, his
15-year-old son, had been kidnapped.
He charges a man whose home was
formerly at McKeesport, with the
crime, and alleges that the man is
using the boy to assist in carrying

Tillman Speaks at Chester.

Chester, s. c., August 1O.-Sena-

meeting here today. Senator Till
man argued and pleaded that Nc
Laurin be not denied the right of
entering the primary. He does not
believe Senator McLaurin will ever
make the race, and he does not, he
said, want McLaurin to have the
excuse that he could not run.

st. Poui, Mimi, Dispatch.
Thomas Malay, an old-time actor,
who had for many years played in
"Uncle Toms Cabin" was today
committed to an insane asylum.
Malay had had SO much of Uncle
Tom that it affected his brain, and
he now imagines that Simon Lee
gree is constantly pursuing him
with bloodhounds. It is not on
record that he ever played the part
of Eliza in the piece, but he seems
to have gotten the characters mixed.

END OF PROMIsCUOUs TITLES.

1t is said, in fact, that today the

prodigiously large that there is room
for serious doubt as to whether or
not any private at all served in the

this momentous question, and if
it accomplishes nothing more it may
rest in the consciousness of duty
we'll and faithfully performed.
The investigation, however, might
be made to cover a much greater
scope. For instance, the society
might look into the question of who
Is and who is not entitled to the
appelation "Democrat," and thus
conclusively determine, without
resort to further electrifying, hot
air contests such as South Carolins

the genuine article or whether his
warlike opponent represents the
only original, 1S-karat, simon-pure
brand of Democracy. To be sure
the society might encounter serious
difficulty in determining what con

THE ELIMINATION OF THE NEGRO
AsAN ISSUE.

Referring to the recent three.days |
anti McLaurin political meetings In
South Carolina, the Charlotte OBJ
server says that one Of the things
made manifest by those meetings Is,
that the Acknowledgement Of the
negro, while 1t has driven him from
the polls, has not taken him out Of
politics. Speaking more correctly,
he IL dragged In again and Ii about
IA much of an issue as ever.
At the time the constitutional
amendment DISTINGUISHING the negro
was pending, II was boldly asserted
by those whose chance to get into
power and secure offices depended
upon the adoption Of the amend
ment, that the Acknowledgement of
the negro would eliminate him
from politics, and forever still the
cry 30 frequently heard and so base
ly used-"nigger domination" So
much stress was laid upon this as
sertion, it was iterated and reiterat-
ed with such loud emphasis, and
such brazen, cold-blooded attempts
were made to force it down the
threats of the voters of the state,
that they came to look upon 1t with
the eye of suspicion. To the dis
corning it was plainly evident that
certain democratic, political high
waymen, seeking to promote their
own selfish ends, In proclaiming
that the negro was about to disap-
pear from the political horizon and
that future campaigns would be
fought out on other grounds thar
the 'nigger question:" were really
attempting to wheedle and cajolt
the electorate of North Carolina with
out seriously intending that there
should ever be an end of the abOmi
nable effort to make the negro al
issue. Such, in truth, has proved
to be the case, and the Charlotte Oh
server is absolutely safe in sayin,
che (the negro) Is about AS much o
an issue a. ever"
The fact of the matter is tina
without the negro to fall back upol
the democracy in several Southern
states would be in a pretty bad way
1t cannot afford to let the fear O
"nigger domination" be altOgethe
eliminated, for that fear(?) is on
of its strongest cords. AlthOug
there is not now and never has bee
in North Carolina any REASONABLE
fear of negro domination, yet tina
particular note has been and vii
continue to be struck with ever
possible variation in order to furnis
ammunition for a gang of spoilsme
who look upon the control ola grea
state and its resources much as tn
pro-consuls who went forth fror
ancient Rome looked upon tn
provinces they were sent to COVER
rs legitimate prey.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an article from Chester, Is. C.)
stating that Tillman, in his speech
at that place, ''argued and pleaded''
that McLaurin be permitted to en-
ter the primary. If Tillman is
sincere in this why did he work so
hard to have McLaurin ruled out?

were en- broidered. In the cen

Before each plate sat cutglass

Each was nearly filled with water
