FARMERS SHOT FROM AMBUSH.
Mr.. Robert Cheatham Seriously wound
ed-WOuld-be ASSaSSinS Supposed to
be Negroes of Phoenix Section.
|The State. I

Greenwood, March l0.-Robert G..
Cheatham, Robert Quattlebaum and
Clebe Penn, three we'll known white
farmers of the Phoenix section, we're
seriously shot from ambush at 2
O'Clock this morning at some place
below Callison, a postotlico about ten
miles below here.
Mr.. Cheatham received a charge
of buckshot in the upper part of his
body, his hands, arms and chest re
ceiving the load. Although at close
range his physician thinks that the
wounds are not necessarily fatal.
He will recover unless some compile
cations set in.
Mr.. Qnattlehaum had his left arm
broken and also received some flesh
wounds i'll the upper part of the
body.
Mr.. Penn's wound was made bv a
charge OF bird SkOt which conferred
in the calf of the left leg.
Although the shooting occurred at
Z o'clock this mcrning no news Of it
was received here uutiI uftor midday,
then the report was very meagre rs
to details and is yet as for that. No
one from that section seems to know
anything about it. Dr. b. w. Cobb
Of this place was summoned, but he
has not yet returned. The facts as
to the wounds were ohtnlucd from
DIR. }. l.. Ward Of Phoenix, who was
the first physician to reach the
wounded mon.
1T is reported that the shooting
was done by negroes and that seven
or eight volleys were exchanged.
Those who really know are extremely
retlcient.

RAINS AND FLOODS DO HARM.

Prices Maintained.

New York, March 20.-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say: Excess
i've moisture in the form Of heavy
rains and floods, or Of merely bad
roads, is an apparent drawback to
distribute trade. Over against this,
however,, is to be placed an improve
ment IN jobbing trade at some lead
ing western centers, shade better
than heretofore reported collections,
a precipltable easing of the car short
age trouble and Increased strength
in the iron and steel trades. There
is even some though, perhaps more
apparent than real, Improvement in
tn" labor situation, some strikes hav
ing baen avoided or settled, but la
bor disturbances is n possible unset.
Ting feature, particularly in the
building trades The eastern Easter
season il one Of the latest on record,
bnt spring weather conditions are
operative, az may be Judged from
the fact that lower lake navigation
is already pretty we'll opened. The
next two weeks will soc applied the
test Of demand IN retail lines. Gross
railway earnings for the first half Of
March show an aggregate gain over
last year of fully II per cent.
In prices, features are the further
slight changing Of cotton. Cotton
goods have displayed exceptional
strength, though a waiting tendency
as regards new business is noted at
first hands. No effect Of the higher
level Of prices in the shape of checked
demand is announced by jobbers,
however, who almost universally re-
port the dry goods business this
spring as the largest on record.

GOV. HEYWARD ON CRUM.
His Appointment All Indignity to Char
lesion and the State, But Was
To Be Expected.

To the Editor of The Sunday
News: Your telegram, asking my
opinion on the reappointment of DR..
Crum as collector of the port of
Charleston, has just been received.
AS al appointment made by the
Chief Magistrate of our nation, 1
consider this an indignity, not only
upon the City of Charleston, but
upon the entire State, and one which
| should receive the condemnation of
every right thinking citizen of South
Carolina and Of the South.
DIR. Crum is in no sense repre-
. sentative of the community in which
he lives nor Of this State. AS sup
posed representative Of the business
interests Of Charleston he cuts ridi
culous figure in the office to which
President Roosevelt has labored 30
hard to appoint him. This is added
to by the fact that Republican
Senate, Il body Of President Roose-
velt's own party, has twice refused to
confirm his appointment.
( As to any supposed influence DIR.
Crum may possess, it belongs to that
very dear to President Roosevelt-a
political opportunity, which is now
the Presidents only door of hope to
succeed himself.
y ,@$95} This appointment should be con-
Esidered rs an indignity to South
Carolina. BY it President Roosevelt
has clearly shown th at this action on
his part is politicss y othing but poll
tics, and in making it he has de-
scended to n level of petty politics,
which is degrading to the Chief
Magistrate of a great nation.
In this connection it ia disap-
pointing to reflect that nothing else
could be legitimately expected, since
the President has demonstrated
more than once his very peculiar
views upon this question. With
tBooker II. Washington in the dual
role of Social Equal and Political
Prophet, indignity to sovereign
State should not be greatly wondered
at, but should rather be expected.

THE NEGRO'S FUTURE.
j. II. LightfoOt Says Not Illiterate Black
Men, But Those With Little Learn
ing Cause Mischief.
(New York 1>imes.j


Discussing the race problem in the
South, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel last
night, j. H. Lightfoot, of Nashville,
remarked:
"Ihere is no race question in the
South of the character believed to
exist by people in the North and
East. If the world should last lO,-
OOO,OOO years the position of the ne.
gro in the Southern States would
relatively be the same as it is today.
The colored people have always been
the servants Of the whites, and al
ways will be, and no power on earth
will ever be able to induce the
whites TO regard the blacks az their
equal Residents on your 5th ave
nue. don't take their domestics INTO
their drawing rooms and treat them
as members of their families.
GAS matter Of fact, negroes in
the South are treated with moro con-
sideration than white servants in the
North, 30 long as they know their
place and don't overstep it. There
is very little trouble with the very
large majority of the Southern ne
groes, especially with those who
work on the plantations. They ar
cared for when sick and are we'll
housed and fed. have two planta-
tions in Alabama and never have any
trouble with the help. The iIliterate
negroes never canse mischief. 1t is
the fellows with little learning,
proving that Il little education is
dangerous thing.
"Prasident Roosevelt is making
very serious mistake in forcing ne.
groes into official positions regardless
of the protests of the whites. His
acts only encourage negroes who are
not lacking in insolence. These lat
ter go too far, and it is this class
that frequently get their heads
cracked
"The war has been forgotten in
the South, except in isolated cases.
We have the country and the North
has the money, which we welcome
and use in efforts to build up the
country The Southern whites are
not bothering about the negroes SO
long as the latter keep their proper
places, and that they will be COM
pelled to do. If there is any real
opposition to the nomination of
President Roosevelt next year,
doubt worry much that he can get
single delegate from: Southern
State.

CUBAN TREATY RATIFIED.
Must Be Approved BY Congress Before 1t
Becomes Law.-The SOuth'S
Interest.

After formally approving the Bacon
amendment, providing that the treaty
shall not become effective until ap-
/ proved by the Congress, and after
adopting also another amendment
introduced by Senator Bacon, which
materially affects one of the >outh's
greatest industries, the Senate Thurs
day afternoon ratified tho Cuban re
ciprocily treaty.
AS TO final ratification, there never
has been Il doubt since the commit
tee of foreign affairs, upon the in
sistence Of the Democrats, accepted
the first mentioned amendment.
There was some doubt for a short
while to- day, however, whether there
would be quorum Of the Senate
present, 80 many Republicans having
left the city, but there were many
more than enough Senators present
on the final round up, the treaty be-
ing ratified by tne vote of so to 1G.
OF chief importance to the South
was the acceptance to the com.
mittee, and the adoption by the
Senate, Of an amendment which
Senator Bacon had been quietly
pressing. This give to the coarser
grades of cotton fabrics, which are
made principally in the Southern
States, tn" same percentage Of ad-
vantage, winch is given the the finer
grades of New England manufacture.
In the original treaty there was a
. per cent discrimination against
the coarses grades, as compared with
the finer grades. The finer grades
imported into Cuba were to be &C.
corded 30 per cent reau .tion Of the
duties in the general Tariff Act of
Cuba, while the coarser grades were
to be given but 2o per cent reduc.
ton. Senator Bacon and other
Southern Senators construed this an
uncalled for advantage given the finer
graded of New England mills, but
some of the New England Senators
seemed to think this was all right.
Senator Bacon insisted, however, and
as his contention was backed by
other Sonthcrners, who stood with
him, the committees finally accepted
his amendment, and ii was incorpor.
ated into the trondy. This puts all
grades of cotton fabrics on plane
OF equality.
After ratifying the treaty the
senate adjourned sine die at Is
minutes past o'clock. Practically
tho entire day was spent behind
closed doors in executive session.
Most Of the timo it WAS devoted to
consideration Of tho Cuban treaty.

favor of it, and then promptly at the
agreed hour 3 o'clock, voting began.
Roll call was had on number of
amendments and the treaty itself
was made the object Of an aye and
nay vote. The motion to ratify was
adopted by ballot Of 80 to IS,
| somewhat more than q three fourths
vote, whereas only two thirds vote
was necessary to secure q ratification.
