paper once in a while, the party has no
preference in the selection OF candidates,
except that it win have none of which
the Republican papers speak wen. No
special principle is involved in this, but,
TO the contrary, it is just matter OF

much distrust in the Democratic party
today that its members are not quite

NOTE AND COMMENT.

From such information as is obtain
able, it is hardly probable that. the first
bale of this years crop Of York county
cotton will be put on the market be-
fore the 18th of September; but it will
no doubt be offered within few. days
Of that date.
The time worn custom Of bleeding
candidates" at picnic gatherings
seems to show no signs Of abatement.
There are people who evidently think
that the candidate is lawful prey for
every subscription paper, and If 1t ever
occurs to these people that ''candi-
dates" are frequently men .of.small
means, unequal to such unreasonable
demands, the fact does not deter them
from infiicting their unjust imposi-
tions. The. practice Of bleeding can
didates" should come to an end. 1t Is
all right that these gentlemen should
be required to pay their way on a bus
mess basis: but that they should be
subjected to a species Of blackmail Is
all wrong.
The publication today Of. the roll Of
Confederate soldiers who went to the
war from Bethel township completes
the list Of York county veterans with
the exception Of one township--Cataw-
ba. Although these rolls are far
complete, none of them being perfect,
we do not think there Is any doubt Of
the fact that they are fuller thar have
been prepared by any other county IN
the state. In fact so far as we have
information, but few Of the other coun-
ties have paid any attention to the
matter at all. AS to the real value Of
the work present or prospective. there
is little to be said except that 1t forms
the most complete record now in exist
ence as. to who served in the war.
But at any rate there is some satis-
faction In the fact that the York veter-
ans having started out to prepare these
rolls. will have soon carried the work
to a creditable completion.

THE Mexican boil weevil has appear
ed in the cotton at the United States
agricultural department experiment
station at New Orleans. The discovery
was made week ago, and the officials
were very much surprised as they had
no reason to believe that the weevil
had vet gotten within several hun
dred miles Of New Orleans. An in
vestigation is now being made for the
purpose Of determining whether or not
the weevil is to be found in the cot
ton plantations adjoining the expert
ment station. If there are no weevils
in the plantations adjoining, all of the
vegetation on the experiment station
lands will probably be destroyed.

EARLE AND TILLMAN.
What They. Did When the Railroads
Sent Them Free Passes.


Sent Them Free Passes.
1t seems to be the custom when
man lands in the United States senate
or house of representatives for various
and sundry railroads, telegraph and
express companies to present him, with
passes and franks. Why do they do
this? Because they love, honor and
admire the recipients Of these favors?
Not by a jugfull. They are not in bus
mess for their health. When they give
one man something for which they
charge others coin Of the republic 1t Is
safe to bet your last cent that they
expect returns. When they gave Till
man passes and franks they expected
returns in the shape of favorable leg
islation. He has sense enough TO
know this, and, knowing 1t, If he took
the passes and franks with no inten-
tion Of favoring the givers, he was
guilty Of receiving goods under false
pretences. But the Southern railway,
at least has no cause to complain that
it has not received adequate returns for
the celebrated Free Pass No. l." and
the others which followed 1t into Till
mans possession, for Tillman has been
a consistent advocate Of payment OF
big government subsidy to this rail-
road, and on one occasion forced pay
ment Of the subsidy when, but for
him, the senate would have cut it off
from the Southern. Tillman cannot
complain if he be measured by the
same yard stick he applied to others,
and all remember how he said those In
IL 20 IT, hi ofofa
been "bribed, bamboozled and debauch-
ed' by gifts Of free passes. Their dis
Chalmers he brushed aside, why should
not his be?
One of the highest types Of ante-1SsO
craftsmanship in South Carolina was
Joseph H. Earle. He was Of those
whom Tillman abused to get into office.
But in 1896 the people Of South Caro-
lima sent him to the United States SEN
ate. Temptation came to him, as II
did to Tillman. in the shape of offers
of passes and franks, but, unlike Till
man. he did not accept them. He re-
turned them to the givers, with short
and simple letters, to the effect that ac-
ceptance of such favors would in no
way affect his vote upon questions in
which interests of the givers were on
stake, but that the people Of South
Carolina, through their general assem-
bly,, had expressed their will that their
public servants should not accept
passes, and while that law was not
operative outside the state limits, still
he respected the will Of those whose
servant he was too much to disobey
even the spirit of law passed in ac-
cordance with their will. That was ALL
and he said nothing Of it. Had Till
man done such a thing the letters
would have been given to the public
and political capital made Of them.
Our information as to Earle's course
comes years after his death from Il
South Carolinian who happened to see
his letters.-From the Columbia Roc
ord.

Roosevelt Mr.. Roosevelt is certainly
responsible for the present situation
and it is not at all creditable to him.
He has passed all along as a civil SER
vice champion, advocating promotion
by merit alone, and this one incident
is easily sufficient to prove the hollow
sham that lay in all his professions
along that line. There Is justice. in
the complaint of the regular army Off

complaint will no doubt be sustained
by the people of the country.

There was an unusually large at
tendance on the funeral Of Mr.. E. B.
Beard last Tuesday afternoon. 'Busi-

generally turned ..out to pay tribute to
the deceased and show respect for his
bereaved family. The religious SER
vices were conducted in Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal church by Rev. DR.. ].
L. Stokes. who also took occasion to
make some very appropriate remarks
touching the life and character. Of the
deceased. Practically the entire con-
gregation accompanied the remains
from the church. to the cemetery, and
the whole attitude and bearing. Of all
present was such as to indicate the
profound impression that had. been
made by the uhtimely taking Of one
who stood In such high estimation Of
the entire community.

people for. their unwillingness to
deny themselves In behalf OF their
children, and also condemned short
sighted policy which sought to make
children work for a present so. cents,
which labor, II properly directed through
the channels Of education, would yield
incomparably greater returns in the
future in the shape Of greater happi-
ness and more material wealth. -
President Lee Davis Lodge Of Lime
stone college, was the first speaker. Of
Thursday, and his address was or an
unusually high order. He treated. edu-
cation from the standpoint of profit
mercenary and otherwise. He showed
how the educated man Is better fitted
10 get along in the world than was the
man who is uneducated; but he made
it clear that mercenary considerations
are Of secondary Importance. The OBJ
ject Of education, he declared, Is not to
make money; but to make men-men
of the highest order. He Is confident
that the natural ability of the southern
people is not inferior to that OF any
other people in the world, and he Is
also confident that the development In
the south Of literary, scientific and
mechanical giants Is only a matter or
time. His entire address was prepar-
ed with the most thoughtful care, and
his delivery was highly pleasing to his
hearers.
Hon. M. F. Ansel of Greenville, fol-
lowed the president Of Limestone In
NICE smooth, carefully prepared adj
dress on the general subject OF edu-
cation and in conclusion, at the request
of the audience repeated his famous
Brother Crofford" story.
Hon. D. E. Finley followed Mr.. An
sci in a short, well-considered speech
that was also along somewhat general
lines. He referred to- the fact that
South Carolina is frequently: held out
as an example of illiteracy! He 'ex-
planned that the states" low rating
came from the fact that the large
number of former slaves pulled down
the average; but showed that there
had been wonderful Improvement dur
ing the past ten years; and argued
that the progress Of the past ten years
was a promise Of still more satisfac-
tory progress In the future. He deyo-
ted himself for a few moments to the
question Of Negro education. He was
of opinion that Negro education In the
south had been misdirected. This is
evidenced In the fact that even q linn
tied common school training seems to
unfit him for the labor that he is best
qualified to perform. 49,
Superintendent Of Educational Car
roll presided over the exercises during
both days of the rally and the other
members of the committee did their

and entertainment Of the big crowd.

THE PROBLEM OF THE RACES.

John Temple Graves Argues That 1t
Can Be Done Only by Separation.
Unique among all summer gather
ings is the "nob conference" now in
progress at Chautauqua, N. Y. The
increase of the mob spirit so noticeable
throughout the country, gives great
Importance to this conference. The
leading speech of last Tuesday was
made by John Temple Graves Of At
lanta, Ga
MIR. Graves spoke on "The Mob Spir-
It of the South" He defended lynch
law as a remedy for the crime Of rape,
holding that though lynching Is a
crime it is justified by the crime which
provokes it and will never be discon-
tinued until that crime Is eliminated.
The remedy for lynching must be the
elimination of the crime of rape, ana
this, he maintains, could be done only
by the separation of the two races III
the United States.
"The problem of the hour Is not how
to prevent lynching in the south but
the larger question: How shall we
destroy the crime which always mas
and always will provoke lynching!
The answer which the mob returns to
this vital question is already known.
The mob answers 1t with the rope, the
bullet and sometimes God save us,
with the torch. And the mob Is prac-
tical; it's theory is effective to a large
degree; the mob is today the sternest'
the strongest and the most effective
restraint that the age holds for the
control Of rape"
"The lyncher does not eXterminate
the rapist," Mr.. Graves contended, but
he holds him nightly in check.
AS a sheer, cold, patent fact, he said,
the mob stands today as the most po-
tential bulwark between the women or
the south and such carnival Of crime
as would infuriate the world and pre-
cipitate the annihilation Of the Negro
race. The masses Of the Negro, he
held, are not afraid of death coming IN
a regular way. They love display and
the Spectacular element Of trial and
execution appeals to their imagina-
tions.
Expediting the processes Of the law
would not be adequate to eliminate
lynching. The repeal Of the amend
ments and the establishment Of the
Negro's inferiority in law and society,
said Mr.. Graves, though desirable. are
not sufficient, "for the Negro" he add
ed, "is thing Of the senses and with
this race and with all similar races
the desire of the senses must be re-
strained by the terror Of the senses,
If possible, under the law" No infiu-
ence Of SUPPRESSION so mighty and eff
fective could be brought to bear as
law making amputation the penalty FOR
the crime Of rape. But this. like cur
few edicts, separate laws for white
and black or the treatment of the
crime Of rape as separate and outside
Of all other codes are but expedients,
he maintained: there Is no real rem
edy but one No statute will perma-
nently solve this problem. Religion
does not solve it. Education compli-
Gates it. Politics complicates it. "rhe
truth which lies beyond and above all
those temporizing expedients," he con-
cluded, "is that separation is the logi-
cal, the inevitable, the only solution OF
this great problem of the races"

BOOKER Washington's doctrine that
the Negro should eschew politics and
confine himself to efforts to acquire
property by habits Of industry and
economy is meeting with much oppo-
sition from the race in the north. That
is said to have been the real cause Of
the riot at the Washington lecture In
Boston recently. The northern Negro
has the idea that he should be placed
in a condition Of wealth, and authori-
ty at once, and he is not willing to
brook anything that Is contrary to this
notion. But the spirit evidenced on the
subject is not necessarily racial. 1t
would be better described as anarch-
iStic.
