Negro Newspapers on the Death
OF Hampton.

The Peoples Recorder, II negro
ucS,paper published III Columbia,
says
"In behalf OF 'hc coIoref titi-
uens of South Carolina who hon
ored and respected Gen. Wade
Hampton for the real friendship
he entertained and manifested to-
ward the race, we with them and
for them enter into the selemni
ty of tho sad occasion TO pay our
respects to the houored dead. =
Gen. Hampton was one Off not
the best friend the pcyro had
among the old school @ southeI n
representatives. He was cblv-
airous American and loved his
people regardless of race as he set
forth in his dying words-'All
my people, black and white-God
bless them all.
"Hundreds of colored citizens
who loved and honorcd the grand
old man, attended the last sad rite,
thus showing their love for a man
who was at heart truly our friend
Peace /! Peace ~
The Southern Sun, another me-
gro paper, says:
"All my people, black and
white-Gcd bless them ALL
"The above language is the
dying words of General Hampton,
who was the idol of his people in
this State; respected and honored
by black and white, rich in hon
ors and great in achievements, in
the Saith year of his age, with ap-
parent good will to all mankind,
is gone to the beyond where
awaits HIM the reward of his la
bors.
"No man in South Carolina
was ever opportuned to utilize the
combined esteem, confidence and
respect of all the people rs Gen.
Hampton, and it Is believed that
his deep seated purpose while gov
ernor of this State was to so con-
duct his policy, but alas ! That
object was not accomplished and
the politica! condition of the me-
gro today must in II large measure
be rihed to his failure.
"Tho fact is infrequently refel~
red TO that the negroes assisted the
white people i'll electtng General
Hampton governor of tins State
and it is to their credit to note,
that it was only the white people
who dishonored him in 100. Evi-
IDENTIFY the General recognized this
and in his dying moments remem-
bered them.

The Necessity Of Expansion.
Speeches Made hy President In e
gals, of the Big -Four Railroad
and Mr.. Lowry of Atlanta.

Chicago, April 10. The neces-
sity of expansion was the domin-
ant theme at the banquet of the
Bankers Club, which was held at
the Auditorium Hotel. The chief
speakers of the evening were
President Me. Ingalls,, of the
Big -Four Railroad Company;
Robert Lowry, of Atlanta, Ga.
and Frank O-Lowden, of Chicago
The principal address of the even-
was delivered by Mr.. Ingalls,,
and his views found eurnest sup
port among his hearers. Mr..
Ingalls, said:
elf we would make this nation
, as rich and powerful as it ought
to be, If we would bring money
and prosperity to ourselves and
to the future, we must adopt
some of the plans that were out
lined by Blaine in his day, which
were emphasized by Mckinley in
his last message; we must adopt
a system of reciprocity by which
we can increase trade. A tariff
wall against the labor of Europe
and It's competition may be neces-
sary. 1t certainly is considered
so by large number of our peo
pie, but the same wall that pro-
tects us upon that side is our ruin
upon the other, and we must
cultivate the West Indies: the
South American States and the
islands of the Pacific by recipro-
cal arrangements and relations
which promote our commerce.
We must admit their products
free, in consideration of their
purchasing frem us, and if this is
done, we have not ships enough
upon the ocean to carry the com
merce between those countries
and our own and there is not
money enough in the banks to
furnish the credit and exchange.
"'We should then bind these
countries to us by ties stronger
than am legislation, They would
be our friends, our partners in
business. And | confess ] can
see nothing but trouble in any
other partnership. With the ex-
perlence we have bad in the
Southern States with negro suf-
frage, are you willing to under
take the admission OF Cuba and
Porto Rico as States, containing
as they do, a large majority of
co'ered people? Neither do |
care to maintain kindergarten in
the Philippines for the education
Of s, O00,O0 of Orlentals. Rather
| say, keep the hands of foreign
nations off, hold the commerce of
these countries, furnish the trans
portation, furnish the ships, furp-
ish the money and banking facili-
ties for their trade. So thew will
have commercial annexation withs
out the danger of political annex,
atien.'
Mr.. Lowery spoke in favor of
expansion in general and paid par
ticular sattention to matters in the
South, drawing a brilliant picture
OF the capabilities of the South.

JR. ORDERS PLANS
STATE COUNCILS CONVENTION
THIS WEEK.
TO BE WELCOMED BY MAYOR
PARADE ONE OF THE FEATURES
OF THE GATHERING.

Delegates Have Begun Arriving.
Most of Them VIII Be Here To-
morrow Night - Public Meeting
VIII be Held in knights of Pyth-
las HalI-Business Sessions in the
Orders own Hall.
Arrangements have been completed
for the entertainment of the State
Council of the Junior Order of United
American Mechanics. which will meet
in Savannah Tuesday and Wednesday
announced several days ago in the
Morning News. After the reception
in the knights of Pythias Hall Tues
day morning, the address of welcome
by the Mayor and the response by
Hon. r. B. Blackburn, the order will
go into secret session in its own hall
The parade in the afternoon, in
which will be about twenty-five car
riages, will be marshalled by e. P.
Hartley and E. w. Yarley. The line
of march will be through all of the
principal streets of the city, thus Civ
ing the VlSllOrS a cndnCe TO see the
sights which the city affords.
Wednesday, the second day of the
convention, will be devoted to legisla-
ton. Cars have been chartered to take
the delegates to the supper at Isle OF
Hope on Wednesday night. These will
leave the corner of Barnard and York
street promptly at $50 o'clock. There
will be numerous speeches made at the
supper and the Committee on Ar
engagements have promised to make
this occasion a very interesting and
entertaining one.
Some of the representatives will
reach the city to-day, among these
Mr.. e. r. Dillingham; the state secre-
tary. The headquarters of the dele
gates to the convention will be the
Screven House. All secret sessions
will be held in the J. o. U. A. NJ. Hall,
but the X. of P. Hall has been engaged
for use at public meetings and recep-
tons, the hall of the order not being
commodious enough for a large gath
ering.
The committee having the entertain
ment in charge have not yet made
public the name of the gentleman who
will deliver the address of welcome. 1t
is understood that a representative of
the Mayor will welcome the delegates,
but who this will be has not yet been
determined. Nearly one hundred dele
gates will be in Savannah on Tuesday
and Wednesday. The Committee on
Arrangements has been working sed-
ulously for the past week, and now
have nearly everything in readiness
for their reception and entertainment.

Court, bearing this sword as the SYM
Dol of his Office, met the judge at the
door of the Court House and escorted
him to the bench, still retaining the
sword until after court had been OPEN
ed. This custom obtained not only in
this court but in the others as well.
Col. Waring Russell was the last
sheriff of the Superior Court to bear a
sword. For some reason which he him
self does not know or is unable to re-
member, the custom became OBJ
solete when he retired from office, Jan
uary, 1859. and it was never revived.
The sword in the ordinarys Office is
not the one that was carried by Col.
Russell, however. That, as is shown by
the picture is a short. heavy, two
edged weapon, the short Roman sword,
the gladii of the cohorts, while that
borne by Col. Russell was modelled like
the modern type of weapon.
The sword in the ordinary's office
bears merely the letters ~. s." on the
blade near the hiIt. and the date 1885.
The superstition is that it was fur
nished by the United States govern
ment but this. as well as everything
else about the old weapon, except it's
original use, is nothing more than a
supposition.
The sword has been in the court
Judge McAlpin says, ever since the
court was founded. and that is prac-
tically all that is known of it, but it is
an interesting relic for all that so lit
tie is known of it's history in future,
instead of knocking about the Office, it
Will be hung on the court house wall
IN the Office of the Judge.

EXCURSION SEASON
ENDS THIS MONTH.
Railroads Have Had Heavy Travel
During the Summer

Railroads Have Had Heavy Travel
During the summer.
With the close of September the
summer excursions of the roads opera
ted into Savannah will be brought to
a close. Though the exact figures of
this business this season are not vet
ohtainable the passenger departments
of the roads are unanimous in agree
ing that the travel this summer has
been exceptionally heavy, much heav-
Ter than that of last year and in fact
the best the roads have had for many
years.
Mr.. w. H. Leahy, division passen-
ger agent of the Atlantic Coast Line,
says that this particular kind of trav-
ell has been, this season, the heaviest
he has ever known. AS an instance of
Its proportions he cited the case of an
excursion that was operated by the
Atlantic Coast Line from Tampa to
ST. Augustine Aug. 49, The train was
operated in two sections and both be-
came so crowded with passengers even
before Orlando was reached that it be-
came necessary to telegraph to the
stations ahead ordering that no more
tickets be sold as further passengers
could not be accommodated. The
trains reached st. Augustine carrying

done throughout the South. The COM
pany will, he said, in the next eight
months, expend more than half a mill
hon dollars in extensions of it's system.
and the rebuilding of existing lines.
Ihat work is now going on In many
OF the leading cities of the South, prin-
cipally al Memphis, New Orleans, Biz
mlngham and Atlanta, where the Of
fees have been refitted, remodelled and
improved by the introduction of the
latest methods
In addition to the work being done
in these cities, there will be numerous
new offices established throughout the
South. More wires will be added to
existing lines. and the entire system
improved by introduction of the very
latest improvements in every depart
ment.
The new, offices in Savannah will be
decided improvement over the old
offices. They will have entrances on
both Bay and Drayton streets. They
will be fitted throughout with new fur
niture and fixtures. The messenger
department will be separated from the
ONCE proper, the boys being in the
rear, where they can pass out with
out going through the offices.
One of the most important changes
will be the substitution of dynamo bat
teries In place of the gravity, or crows
foot battery. The enlargement of the
office and the additional Improvements
will make it necessary to have more
employees in the new office than were
in the old When this information was
given TO the reporter, a gentleman
standing near remarked that as sure
as that statement was made in the pa
per, there would be numerous appli-
cants for the positions made irnmedi-
ately.
II doubt that very capitalIy," said
Mr.. Adams. Good operators are not
out OF employment, as a rule. There
is a great demand for them, and one
does not remain out of work for any
length of time. In New Orleans oper-
ators get large salaries. We cannot
afford to employ any but the best, and
those are at premium"
The visiting gentlemen, in company
with Mr. Patrick Fl. Hughes, the agent
at Savannah, went over the offices,
and inspected the work which was be-
ing done, and Mr. Adams made some
suggestions and gave some directions
relative to the work. Both he and
Mr.. Rust complimented Mr.. Hughes on
the satisfactory manner in which he
had conducted the work
When the work is completed, a new
sidewalk viii be laid on both Bay and
Drayton streets, in front of the Offices
This sidewalk will be made of patent
cement The temporary Offices of the
company are in the rear of the build
ing In which the new Offices are being
built.
Mr.. Hughes said yesterday that he
thought that the offices here will be
occupied by Oct. IS. Mr.. j. r. Eason,
the contractor for the work, has prom
ised 10 have them ready for occupancy
by that time. superintendent Adams

music with his wonderful technique

style. The name Gabrilowitsch was
soon on the tongue of every music
lover. This season, however, he re-
turns to America, a thoroughly we'll

in Europe. where he appeared during
the last eighteen months.
Josef Holman returned direct to
New York from here after his recital
last March, and sailed for Europe a

to America this season, but has signed

again in 1904.
The Music Club will feel the loss this
season of Miss II. Marion Smart, Miss
ISABEL Smart and Miss Ethel Taylor
very much, all OF whom were among
the best pianists in the club. Mrs.
Clarence Lilienthal, however, will still
be here, and 1t is expected that Mrs.
Laura Mehrtens will be heard before
the club this season. There are num-
bers of other young pianists whose
work this year will be surprise to
generally.
Nine. Lillian Blauvelt, who is prob
ably the best known concert singer in
America, will include a number of
Southern cities in her tour this season.
