This was the first of series of

debates between Senators Burton
and Tillman.
Senator TlIlman Talks.
A special dispatch to the Phila-
delphia Record from Chicago says
Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, who is to hold a series of de-
bates in the Northwest with Senator
Burton, of Kansas, on the race
question, passed through town this
afternoon.
81 notice that Illinois and Indiana
and other Northern States have re-
GENTLY adopted the Southern way of
settling the race question:" he said.
"That seems to be the only practical
way, until the amendment to the
Constitution, granting the negroes
suffrage, has been repealed. We
have shot them and hanged them
and burned them in South Carolina
until they almost know their proper
place, now, although the desire to
vote, whether or not they know what
they are voting for, frequently
causes trouble.
The further North you go the
more people,you will find who know
just how to settle the race problem.
It's 80 easy to determine the merits
of case while the parties to the
dispute are thousand or 30 miles
away. But as the negro population
increases in the North, or an occa-
sional characteristic trait breaks out
among those that live there, the peo-
pie are confronted with the question
that has vexed the inhabitants of the
South for many years, and, although
the black race was never subjected
race in the North, the Northern peo.
pie go out and settle the matter in
the good old way that the
Southerners have been settling it,
and the only way that has proved
efficacious heretofore.
eyes, the Danville and the Belle
vile lynchings in Illinois and the
trouble in Evansville, Ind, and simi-
lar affairs in other Northern States
all go to show that the people of the
North are studying the race question.
Let the good work go on and the
beauties of the fifteenth amendment
will continue to be manifest to the
world"

How Sam Jones Sizes Up Bryan and Waltersor

Watterson, the great implacable foes
Of Grover Cleveland
81 think Mr.. Bryan is perfectly
sincere. | believe he is privately
clean. believe he is an honest and
upright man. But man may be an
honest fool man may be a harm
less idiot; a man may be pure non
entity. Mr.. Bryan is neither OF
these, but every fellow is some sort
Of fool, and that he is a fool about
some things the wisest men of this
country are agreed.
"Col. Henri Watterson is harm
less. He is what would call a
toothless dog. He may gum them
but no longer can he bite. If he had
had teeth Cleveland would have been
chewed up into doll rags; but the
fact that Cleveland is well and round
and fat and popular still, is the best
proof that Col. Watterson is tooth.

THE SUPREME COURT.
An important Opinion Rendered In Reference
to Railroad Tickets.

Columbia, July 3O.-The Supreme
Court to. day handed down opinions
in two cases which have excited con-
siderable public interest, being the
cases involving the right of rail
road company to charge an "excess
fare" of passenger not having a
ticket, provided the company gives
the passenger what is called "re-
bate check" a paper by which the
company agrees to pay 25 cents ex-
cess if the "rebate check" be pre-
sented within 20 days to one of it's
agents in South Carolina.
Two cases were heard together
Fulmer against the Southern Rail
way, tried before special Judge Izlar,
at Newberry, and Duncan against
the same company, tried before
Judge Renet at Barnwell. In each
case The railroad company won and
the plaintiff appealed to the Supreme
Court. After argument in that
court it was ordered that the case be
reargued before the court en- banc,
composed of the Supreme Court
Justices and seven of the eight
Circuit Judges. The court cen banc"
was duly assembled, Judge Watts
being retired in the drawing of lots.
The leading opinion in each case
was delivered by Associate Justice
Gary and it is concurred in by
Judges Aldricb, Klugh, Dantzler,
Purdy and Gary, the last named
filing separate opinion. The con-
clusion reached is that under the ex-
listing law a railroad company is
limited to the rate of passenger fare,
three cents per mile, fixed in the
statute, and that it cannot exceed
that rate.
1t is further held that the 25 cents
excess fare is "charge," notwith-
standing the agreement of the rail-
road in its "rebate check" to refund
that sum to the holder Of the check.
Judge Ernest Gary holds that the
railroad company may exclude from
it's passenger car any person not
provided with ticket, but having
permitted such person to become a
passenger without ticket the excess
fare is unlawful.
The dissenting opinion is written
by Associate Justice Jones and con-
Cured in by Associate Justice
Woods, Judge Townsend and Judge
Gage. 1t holds that as the passenger
paying the rs cents excess, because
he has not procured ticket, may get
back that sum by presenting his Gre
bate check" to the company's agent,
there is no extra charge, but simply

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chian tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls CatarrL

With Pistols In their Pockets.

We find ourselves compelled to
dissent for once from an opinion ex-
pressed by the Kershaw Era-one of
the county papers which has opinions
all of it's own, and expresses them
fearlessly. The Era commends Judge
Gage for requiring witnesses to put
on their coats before coming into
court to testify. "There is too
prevalent an idea," says The Era,
"that the courts are somewhat of a
makeshift POSSIBLY not without some
reason) and the sooner this idea is
gotten rid of the better it will be for
the ause of justice" While we
might commend the action f-Judge
Gage on the same grounds as The
Era, yet there is another view. We
would, for the cause of justice, re-
verse his ruling and require that
every witness and juror should ap
pear in his shirt.sleeves and that
their nip pockets and the contents
thereof should be exposed to view
We would extend the ruling to the
gentlemen of the bar and are conf.
dent that if required to remove thei,
coats in the presence of the Judge
several lawyers would be found will
pistols in their pockets. Certainly
according to reports, such would
have been the result during the re
cent session of the criminal cour
held In Columbia.--The State.
