PREACHER SCORES InLMAN.
A Senatorial Attack From An Atlanta Pull
pit Upon South Cardinals Senior
Senator.
At the tabernacle in Atlanta on
Sunday night to an audience of three
thousand people, DR.. L. G. Brough-
ton took occasion to reply to the lee
ture of Senator Tillman, delivered
in that city last week. Tillman's
lecture was on the race question.
DR.. Broughton's theme was the
Sensitive Fool" He handled the
South Carolina senator without
gloves and used some very forcible
words in speaking of the senator's
views On the negro in the South.
DR.. Broughton said:
"Much os this talk of the race
problem is also the result of morbid
sensitiveuess. I heard Senator Till
man Friday night give his LECTURE
on The Negro Itried to be fair
in my estimate of it. For reckless
frankness it was a model; for SEN
sible argument it was a mess. I like
frankness; I like to see a man who
believes something and then is not
afraid to say it. In this respect and
in this respect alone, is Senator TIL
man entitled to place among those
who are trying to shape the destinies
of the nation His whole talk, from
start to finish, was that Of the cheap
politician, playing upon the most
subtle prejudices of iguoraut peo-
pie. Never once in his solution of
this great question did he get out
of the realm of the raukest pag-
anisn1. The Christian religion was
never hinted at as having anything
to do with overcoming bad con-
ditions or uplifting the race. One
Of the most prominent Christian
educators in the South said to me
Just as he finished his harangue,
His position is nothing short of the
vilest paganism.' Senator Tillman
is papan arguing from the stand
point Of pagan philosophy.
"That there are wrongs with re-
gard to the negro that must be right
ed nobody doubts. 1t was a blum
der to put the ballot in their hands
when they were freed. The North
sees this. Senator Tillman's effort
to fire Southern hearts with hate
for the North because they forced
! this iniquity on us is unjust. I have
travelled North as much as he has.
have circulated with better class
of people where I have gone, and |
tell you the best people of the North
are perfectly willing that we should
take the negro out Of politics. He
ought to be taken out and We are
going to do it, not for our good only,
but for his good as we'll. I said IN
Boston to an audience as large as
! Senator Tillman had Friday night,
The negro must be eliminated from
politics and white folks society,"
The remark was cheered, though

GOOD ROADS BILL.
IT CALLS FOR ANEXPENDITURE OF
TWENTY-FOUR MILLIONS.
An Outline of the Provisions Of the
Important Measure Just Intro
duced In the Senate.

four million dollars tor good roads,
to be expended at the rate of S.
100000 a year during the next
three years! That is the amount

roads bill which Senator Latimer
of South Carolina has just intro

ate scheme for federal aid of the

ing to the terms of the bill, shall be

struction OF permanent public roads

forth in detail in the bill. This
bureau is to consist of three COM
missioners to be known as commis-
sioners of highways; two of them
shall be appointed by the president,
one from each. OF the two leading
parties; these to be men who have
had practical knowledge of road
engineering and construction. The
third member is to be an officer Of
the engineer corps of the army of
rank not below captain. Each is
to receive compensation at the rate
of S., 600 per year for their services.
These commissioners shall be under
the general supervision of the Sec
retary of agriculture.
After the expiration of six months
from the time of the passage of this
act, any State. through the proper
officers having Jurisdiction Of public
roads, may apply for aid in the i'm
provement or construction of public
roads, under general rules to be
made by the commissioners. No
State shall be entitled to receive the
benefits of this act until itshall have
established to the satisfaction Of the
commissioners of highways:
First. That the highway or sec
tior thereof sought to be improved
or constructed is Of sufficient public
use to come within the purview of
this act, taking into account the use,
location and value of such highway
for the purpose of common traffic
and travel, and for the delivery Of
the mails.
Second. That the requisite right
of way shall have beer secured.
Third. That the Highway will be
improved or constructed in accord
ance with the regulations of the
bureau, and when so improved will
be maintained and kept in repair
without recourse upon the United
States.
Fourth. That the State has pro-
vided for the payment of its portion
of the total cost.
One half the expense is to be
borne by the federal government,
the other half being borne by the
State, but it is provided that the
States may distribute their portion
OF the expense among the counties
directly benefited. 1t is further pro-
vided that no money shall be ad-
vanced by the United States in pay
,ent of its proportion of the ex-
pense except as the work of actual

elected chairman. John K. Aull was
chosen secretary.
Mr.. Smith stated the object Of
the meeting to be to get the citizens
together to consider the license law
recently promulgated in the town

DR.. W. E. Pelham though: if the
mayor or any of the aldermen were
present it might be well to get a
statement from one of them as to
the object Of the law:
There was no member of council
present and DR.. Pelham made a
motion, which was carried, that the
city attorney, who was present,
state the reasons actuating council
in this matter.

CITIZENS DISCUSS
LICENSE ORDINANCE.
LARGEST MEETING OF CITIZENS IN A
NUMBER OF YEARS.
Committee Appointed to Report to an
Adjourned Meetng--Discussion With
Several Lively Passages.

the largest citizens meeting held
in Newberry in recent years as
sembled in the opera house on
Tuesday afternoon to consider the
license ordinance recently passed
By city council, The attendance
numbered ITO. The discussion
lasted for more than an hour and
several plans were suggested fer
requesting of council either the re-
peal of the ordinance or its amend
ment in a number of Instances.
The debate was interspersed with a
number of lively passages between
those present. It was finally de-
cided that a committee be ap-
pointed by the chairman to report
to an adjourned meeting of citizens
whether license tax is desired and
desirable, and if a license is desired,
what is deemed fair and equitable
basis for such taxation.
There were those present who
were free to pronounce the gather
ing an ''indignation'' meeting and
a gathering of "kickers. Others
denied that the meeting was actuated
by any feeling of indignation or ILL
will towards council. There were
those present who held that 1t was
a wrong principle to elect a city
council and then seek to annul its
ordinances and to dictate what laws
should be passed. Others denied
that such was the intention of the
meeting, holding that the citizens
had met simply to consider the Or
diuance, to state whatever grlev-
ances they had and tc frame a re-
spectful petition to council, and that
council should be ready and willing
to consider a memorial from a c!ti-
zens' meeting of s,1ch respecta-
bic proportions.
There was not member of city
council present, the only represent
ative of council being City Attorney
Blease.

THE CITY ATTORNEY.

sponsible for it but he stood ready
to defend it at any time in any
court. He thought it would have
been very improper for any men,
Der of city council to attend an
indignation meeting called to criti-
else their own acts
DR.. Cromer stated that be did not
understand this as. an indignation
meeting.
DR.. Pelham said that he certainly
was not actuated by any feeling of
indignation.
By request, the call for the meet
ing, which appears above, was
read.
MR.. ALAN TOMBSTONE
said he came to counsel with coun-
Gil, and in no bad spirit. He moved
that the ordinance be read and as
each item was called that such
amendments as we're deemed neces-
sary be recorded and suggested to
council.
COL. O. [. SCHUMPERT
said that this seemed to him very
irregular proceeding. The license
ordinance was law. What are we
here for: To repeal this ordinance?
We can't do that. We are here as
kickers. Whether the ordinance
was bad law or a good law ne
didn't know-he hadn't read it.
But it must be abided by. The peo-
pie were here as kickers and moth

The Clever Drnhman.

Speaking of the great power the
Brahmans in India possess in localizing
thought, a prominent Brahman said
recently: 1--WE would consider a game
of chess as played in this country mere
child's play. An ordinary Brahman
chess player could carry on three or
four games at time without inconven-
fence. The usual game played by the
Brahmans consists in checkmating with
one pawn designated when the play be-
gins. have seen man perform long

at the same time noting the various
sounds and discussions going on about

compose a triple acrostc in Sanskrit in
a given meter, at the same tine having
three we'll versed men trying to over
throw him in his argument on reli-
gion.''

Measuring Brides.

Measuring brides for legacies is the
remarkable ceremony which annually
takes place in st. Cyrus, quaint little
village in Kincardineshire, Scotland,
on the brink of the German ocean.
More than fifty years ago native of
the village, who had been paymaster
general Of the indian army, bequeath-
ed sum Of money, the interest of
which was, for all time coming, to be
disbursed in five equal parts every
year. One part was for the purchase
OF meal for the poor, while the remain
der was set aside to be divided among
each years four conspicuous brides
the oldest, the youngest, the tallest and
the shortest-who were married in st.
Cyrus parish church.
The administration Of the fund is in
the hands of the parish minister, and
unhappy at times is his task, such are
the jealousies which arise among the
competitors, for there is keen rivalry
for these legacies, which amount to
hardly more than $50 each But that
is quite an important sum in so remote
and simple village. All st. Cyrus
turns out on "bride measuring day."
and the occasion is made holiday.

Raising Slaves For Market.

NO slaves, no slaves" says the Atlas
Moor impatiently, "and in the town
they are slow to raise them" 1 want
an explanation of this strange COM
plant.
What do you mean when you say
they are slow to raise them?" l ask.
In Marrakesh, now,' he explains,
dealers buy the healthiest slaves they
can find and raise as many children as
is possible. Then SO soon as the chill
dren are old enough to sell they are
sold, and when the mothers grow old
and have no more children they, too,
are sold, but they do not fetch much
then"
The infamy underlying this state
ment takes all words from me, but my
informant sees nothing startling in the
case and continues gravely:
"From six years old they are sold to
be companions, and from twelve they
go to the harems. Prices are good, too
high indeed; $54 must have paid this
afternoon to purchase one, and when
Mulai Mohammed reigned the price
would have been 500, perhaps less, and
for that one would have bought fat
slaves. Where there is one caravan
now there were ten Of old times.'-
