MUST DO OUR DUTY
BY THE BLACK MAN, SAYS HON.
ALT. HERRINGTON.
NEGRO A TRUST GIVEN TO US.
EDUCATE AND TEACH HIM THE
CIVIC VIRTUES HE LACKS.

Unless whites Awake from Leth-
arsy Into which They Have Fallen
Both White and Black Races win
Disappear Both Races, Under
Guidance from on High, Must
Learn to Live side by Side
in One COuntry-Lecture Filled
with Character Sketches and
WOrd-Pnintings.
1t was not a large audience which
greeted Hon. All. Harrington last
night at Lawton Memorial in his lee
ture, 1.-THE Negro and the South" The
lecture was an Intervening of char
acter sketches of the old ante bel
lum negro, the post bellum negro, and
the old planter. What is commonly
referred to as the race problem was
tacitly admitted and the whites were
exhorted to arouse from a moral
lethargy into which they have fallen
and to discharge their duty toward the
blackman.
Preceding the really serious part Of
tire lecture came a series of paintings
in brilliant rhetoric of the ante bel
lum days and the stirring times of
the war. The courage Of the Confed-
crate soldiers was lauded, as well
as the loyalty and sacrifices of the
women of the South. Then came a
short description OF the war, and the
condition of the country at it's close,
"a desoIate waste, an impoverished
people, and 1000, 900 slaves turned from
bondage to freedom and given Amer
lean citizenship. 1t is a picture which
even the old masters who adorned the
ancient Cathedrals of the Old World
with paintings of the Inferno, would
have found no colors adequate to
paint"
A number of humorous sketches fol-
lowed in rapid succession. The con-
duct of the, old negroes, when inform
ed that they were free was wildly
but humorously pictured. The char
acters of those who came down into
the Sunny South seeking the spells Of
war and the revenues of Offices, were
sketched with a terseness that made
them stand cut in dark contrast TO the
old planters.
Then came short pictures of the Old
South, with the large Southern homes
fronting long tree-bordered lanes; OF
the old planter sitting in dreamy ease on
the broad verandah and watching for
"the coming Of some visitor who was
good enough to drink a glass Of liquor
with him." The scenes of the negroes
at work were vividly painted and, in
order 70 bring out more clearly their
peculiar ways the speaker began sing
ing some OF the songs OF the cotton
field and telling a great variety OF
dialect stories.
a rapid sketch Of the South IN all
is natural beauty was the signal for

TILLMAN-DUGAs ENGAGEMENT AN
NOUNCED.
BY r. NJ. Larner.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE announce
ment of the engagement of Miss Lucy
Francis Pickens Dugas, to Mr.. Ben
1amin Ryan Tillman, Jr., is being dis
cussed with much interest in the South
Carolina colony. here in Washington.
Miss Dugas IS a young woman of
rare accomplishments and charming
qualities of manner. She is deservedly
popular as the granddaughter Of Gov.
Pickens and niece of Gen. NJ. c.
Butler, and has host of admirers and
friends. Her father was a native of
Augusta, Ga, and a physician of high
standing. He died only a few months
ago.
Mr.. Tillman is the eldest son of Sen
ator 3. r. Tillman, a young man of
ability, with a bright future before
him. He was graduated at Clemson
College, has studied law, and is at
present clerk to the Committee on Rev.
dictionary Claims in the Senate.
The match is sort of a Romeo and
Juliet affair. for the family of Miss
Dugas' mother and that of Mr.. Till
mans father were as widely separa ted
at one time as the Montagues and
Capulets, though without the latters'
anfmosity. The ancestral tree of the
prospective bride is big enough to shell
ter much of the bluest aristocracy of
the South. while that of the groom is
of more recent growth. Much is ex-
pected from the alliance in the way of
smoothing out certain social barriers,
which are more or less conspicuous in
Dixieland.
The wedding, which is set for Dec.
20, will be quietly celebrated. out OF
respect for the mourning of the bride.
It will acquire great eclat, neVerthe-
less, from the magnificent surround
ings of "Edgewood," near Edgefield, S.
c., where the event will take place.
This famous estate was the home OF
Gov Pickens, one of South Cardinals
great war Governors and United States
minister to the Court of Russia in 1858
1t was during his diplomatic career in
St. Petersburg that the mother of the
prospective bride was born. and the
Pickens family had the distinction OF
an intimate friendship with the family
of the Gar. Rumor has it that Mrs.
Dugas' baptismal name was Russian,
and the gift of the god-mother who was
closely allied to the royal household.
Mrs. Pickens had a wide circle Of
friends in Washington. which she Wis
tied every spring in the interest or
Mount Vernon. She was regent Tor
South Carolina in the Mt. Vernon AS
ISOLATION up to the date of her death.
Back in the fifties no one would have
imagined the blood of the Pickens and
the Tillmans uniting. To-day the
match is regarded as eminently hitting
and the best society of South Carolina
and Georgia finds it a pity that the
mourning of the bride will prevent
large and fashionably attended wedding
at "Edgewood" on Dec. 20.

CURIOSITY



What shall we do To be saved? was
the title of one of Robt. Ingersolls
lectures. People of faith and people
of no faith hocked to hear 1t. Thous-
ands are asking What shall / do to
get rid of dandruff?" The answer is,
xiii the germ that causes dandruff,
falling hair and finally badness; and
the only thing that will do it is New
bros Herpicide. That is the very
latest discovery of the laboratory, and
It is the only preparation that claims
to, or that will kill the pestiferous
dandruff germ. 1t also is a delightful
hair dressing, free from oil or grease
or sticky substances. Try 1t and be
convinced of it's actual merit. Sold BY

some time ago to examine the book. Its
report, submitted yesterday, was un-
favorable, as the book was found to
deal more particularly with the Civil
War than the Revolutionary period,
and was therefore not suitable for D.
A. r. study. The chapter will take
up, instead, a course of historical ques-.

 Engineer George c. Clark has al ready begun the work of a new survey of the city of Bisbee, which was or. dered by the city council in connection with the application for the townshe patent The work was commenced on Monday, and will be hurried as fast as possible to completion. MT. Clark has received the blue prints of the old Bostwiek survey from the Tucson land office, but finds that he win require the field notes of the survey, and yes terday telegraphed to the land office for them. The work in hand consists of checking up the old survey, which ln many instances was incorrect, and Eliminating all the ground which has been patented as mineral ground. This morning it is the intention of Mir. Clark to increase the force now en- gagged in the new city survey. The city council asked that the survey be completed by July 18th, but MT. Clark says the work will probably require longer than that. After this survey is completed, the government will be asked to substitute the new survey for the one filed by Probate Judge Bostwick when he filed the original application for patent for the town site of Bisbee.
