THE Tillman reign has brought to

worker in the interest Of his race in

under ordinary conditions be entitled
TO the ballot, only about 10 600 are
able to pass the rigorous registration
examination. Mr.. Deas says the far
CiCal nature of this examination is
shown by the fact that IN recent inves-
tigation several of the supervisors Of
registration were unable to explain
the very pass geS OF the Constl-
tuition which they had submitted
10 the candidates. Mr.. Deas said the
poorest and most illiterate white is
given the vote while the eduCa ed ne
gro is generally denied il by the un-
fair and prejudiced election boards.
"The Tillmans gained control of
South Carolina politics about ten
years ago" said Mr.. DeaS, land since
that time there has been an era OF oD-
preston and injustice toward the he
gro. which was unknown before. Gena-
tor Tillman Is constantly losing ground
however. The better element in the
stale is tired Of him"

to be a vital one and The administration

10 teach them that with all of their

named who stepped forward to the front
Ofthe platform and delivered short al
dress and said in part. that he thankei
the citizens of AnaCOStid aud HillSiale

received one in this precinct and TODAY
these clubs named for him numb r
$50 men, composed OF the most infIueu-
ual and best citizens OfHillsdale. Mr..
Chase discussed the affairs in the Dis
ttict government and hoped that the
time would soon come when citizens
OF color would be recognized accord
ing 10 merit. After paying a tribute
TO Senator NJ. A. Hanna, and urging
unison among the people he concluded
his address amidst applause.
Mr., John w. Freeman was the next
speaker. He gave some good advice
10 the young men and hoped that there
were some among the many present
who would reach the eminenCe of the
late Frederick Douglass. His speech
was sensible and logical.
Attorney Thomas L. Jones was the
nextspeaker. Mr.. Jones spoke for TWEEN
ty-fYe minutes. His speech was one
of the most eloquent that has ever been
delivered by him. He said in part
that the condition of the America
negro was pitiful, anil was made more
so by the treaChery OF false leadership.
He condemned the theory advanced
by Booker 7. Washington as humiliat-
ing and dangerous to the negro race.
Loud and prolonged applause. At be
conclusion of his speech several ladies
remarked. "but that little man can

VALUE OF sUHFLowER SEED
ers and One Of the Best Egg
Producers known.

No progressive poultry farm should
be without a plentiful supply of sun
flower seed. 1t is one of the best egg
producing foods we know of, and it
is very valuable at mouIting time. 1t
loosens the~old feathers, gives fine
gloss to the new plumage, shortens
the process and aids the fowls to pass
through the ordeal with vigor and
health, so that they are shape to
shell out eggs all winter, instead of
remaining idle for long time while
getting their strength back. We find
that best results are obtained by
feeding full feed about three times
a week during the period of moulting
and about twice week thereafter.
BY full feed we mean a handful at
night for each fowl. We would not
advise giving more than this, as it is
likely to throw them into a second
moult.
1t is too expensive to buy for feed
here, as the cheapest we can get is
six cents per pound from the seed
stores, j. e., for old seed that will not
grow and which they can not send
out for seeding purposes, but it can
be raised easily and cheaply. We
plant it the same as corn, same dis
lance apart in the rows, and culti-
vate with a horse. Only one plant to
the hill, otherwise it will not do so
well, plants or stalks growing small.
and with but little seed when two or
more are together. We plant the
seed in the spring as soon as the
ground is dry enough and begins to
get warm.
We keep it cultivated until it Il
about waist high, when it will take
care of itself until harvesting time.
The plants make . shade which kills
out all weeds, and it is therefore q
good crop to grow where weeds have
gotten bad. 1t does not require .
very rich soil, as it will grow almost
anywhere, If it is not too sandy. A
fair crop is so to IS bushels per acre.
We gather them after the seeds have
become perfectly ripe and dry. These

WHEN WE ARE ASLEEP.
'seientinc Investigation Has Proved
ThatEven Then Our Muscles and
Organs Are at Work.

II the organs of the body cannot
be said to sleep neither can the vol
nntary muscles. Witness the phe-
nomena of sieep-waiking, the postii-
lions in stage-coach days who slept in
their saddles, and cavalrymen who
do IT to-day; infantry who have been
known to sleep on forced marches;
sentinels who walk their beats, car
rying their guns in fixed position
while they sleep. For all we know,
policemen may do it, too. People
who talk in their sleep are familiar
to all of us. Experiments made by
6Peir, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students of both sexes
showed that AZ per cent. of the men,
and 81 per cent. of the women talked
in their sleep. A number of things
might be proved by these statistics.
OF ttese sleep-talkers, one-half of the
women and one-third of the men are
sbleto answer questions while asleep.
More women than men could answer
questions on any subject, not alone
that of which they had been talking.
1t has also been found that most
sleep-talkers are under rs years Of
age.
Evidently, then, with the muscles
and organs of the body all working
it is the brain only that sleeps, and
by no means all of the brain. The
senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell
and taste may be very much awake
while the subject sleeps. A sleeping
person hears and answers questions,
rcarranges his bed clothing, covers
his eyes to keep out the light, draws
away his hand when the experiment.
er tickles it. A child is broken of the
habit of sucking his thumb while
asleep by putting sloes on it. He is
conscious of the bitter taste and
dreams of NORWOOD. The nerves,
then, and the brain centers CORE
spending to them, are awake. A busy
lawyer, exhausted by overwork, one
night went out to supper with some
friends, ate, talked and walked with
tnem and the next day remembered
absolutely nothing of the occurrence.
He had not been drinking; the man
was simply asleep during the whole
evening. His conscious memory
that is, consciousness itself-slept.-
