GEN. JOHN B. GORDON DEAD.

Gen'l John B. Gordon died at Bis
caype, Florida, his winter home, at
1905 o'clock p. M, Jan. 9th, after
short illness. He was taken sick on
Wednesday with acute indigestion,
which soon afterwards developed into
serious and fatal complications. He
had suffered from q similar attack of
Indigestion some months before, but
when he arrived at his Florida home
he was in the best of spirits and
health, The death Of Gen. Gordon
has cast gloom over the entiie
Southland, the home of his birth, a
child Of her love and pride. The war
record of Gen, Gordon is upon the
pages Of every history of the civil
war. He entered the war as Captain
Of the Raccoon Roughs 9th Alabama
Infantry, from which position he
steadily rose by promotion to Lieu
tenant General commanding second
| Army Corps, Lieutenant General
commanding left wing Lees army at
| Appomattox April 9th, 1865. Gen.
Gordon served his people as faithful
ly and acceptably in peace as in war
He was honored by his people, being
three times elected United States
Senator and twice Governor; he held
many other positions of public trust,
and at last voluntarily retired.
Gen. Gordon came to the aid of
South Carolina at time when she
most needed the presence, counsel
and courage of such men as he.
Gen. Gordon was beloved by all
who knew him, for his sterling quail
tiles of heart and mind. His writings
have been read with interest and
profit, his lectures listened to with
pleasure and due appreciation; but
when we attempt to chronicle all his
virtues, all language fails and silence
begs for thought.

LETTER FROM
INDIAN TERRITORY
Our Former Texas Correspondent,
J. :. c., now Located in Indian
Territory. He writes Inter-
estin9Iy of that Country.

CoALcATE, l. T., Jan. 6, 1904.
EDITOR TINES:
1t has been nearly one year since
this deponent sayeth his say. And
for fear he create an alarm among
the readers of THE TINES for his
silence he decides to speak once more
at least.
Well, it would take small volume
to enumerate all the disappointments
etc. since the last communication. so
that will not be attempted, and it
would not interest the readers of
THE TINES, anyway.
| have had something to say about
the Indian Territory, in former com
munications to TIE TINES, and j.
Is quite likely the burden of this one
will bear directly upon this section of
the great Southwest.
The Indian Territory is being de-
yeloped very fast at this time.
Towns are sprlnging up on every
side, railways are being projected
and built in almost every direction,
and good deal of the land is being
put to cultivation. Extensive coal
fields are located in the Territory,
namely: at Krebs, North and South
McAlester, Lehigh, Phillips and
Coalgate. besides many other places
Of course the coal industry is an i'm.
mense thing. SO much so that one
will not realize it until sufficient
thought is given the subject. Then,

BROOM CORN.

That broom corn can be success-
fully grown in Union county there
can DC no doubt, from the simple
fact that it has already been tested.
Long before the civil war number
OF the wealthier people grew this
corn, and had brooms made, using
the stalks for handles; the seed were
thrashed off and the stalks cut con-
venient lengths, the broom was made
by binding together the stalks using
as many as desired, according to the
size OF broom and handle to be made.
This was before the invention and
manufacture of the long stick-handle
broom in use today. The making OF
the broom from the broom corn was
particular job, was generally made
by the negro carpenter of the planta-
ton, was regarded the ''nice" broom
and held position Of honor in the
household, being the only broom al.
lowed to grace the rack beside the
mantle in the parlor, used only to
sweep the carpets, while the old straw
broom swept all the other floors
There were no broom corn brooms or
the market, the corn was only grown
by few for their use; but this fact
does not go to show that it could OF
be more extensively and profitably
grown at this day and time by the
farmers of this State.

next in Importance, if it is not the
greater industry, is that of cattle
raising. Then the money the U. s.
Government pays the Indians in
bounties, added to the farming inter
ests, makes the Indian Territory a
country with great deal of ready
money, hence it is a great trading
locality, find so many Jews en-
gagged in business in the new coun-
try. You know the Jew is ever
faithful to his chosen calling-that of
acknowledgement where you find
trading iC merchandising there you
find the Jew. The Indian Territory
is very much like Texas-in fact it
is the same in many respects. In
winter the "Nor' Wester" and the
Arctic Blasts sweep down upon this
beautiful land like a ravenous wolf
upon an unsuspecting lamb, when
you least expect such sudden tran
sitlons, then it is awtully -disagre
able here. But in spring and sum-
mer when the balmy breezes come up
from the South, laden with the per-
fume of the flowers and the sweet
ness of budding time, when all nature
is aglow min the warm and brilliant
sun, everything reposing serenely
under our beautiful Italian skies,
then it is pleasant and agreeable.
The climate changes are SO sudden
here sometimes that a lizard would
freeze by the time you could walk
from the court house to the depot at
Union. This assertion may seem
extravagant, but l think Numerous
persons would bear me out in it.

Mr.. G. S. Guilford, of Blufrton, S.
c., writes to the Manufacturer Rec
ord regarding the organization of the
Bluffton Lime Co., Of which he is
president. He says that it has been
organized by few young men, all
wage earners, to manufacture lime
from oyster shells. Their main object
is to put on the market new water
proof plaster, which one of their
number has perfected, and also a new
lime suitable Tor brick and stone
work.

The United States government is
now engaged in farming under the
waters of the deep sea, helping out
the sponge industry which has been
tagging for several years. Expert
nnents by the Bureau of Fisheries
have shown that sponges can be
grown artificially as well as by ma
ture's process. There are doubtless
many people who think the sponge a
kind of vegetable growth, when as a
matter of fact it is a living animal,
on this basis the government is now
furtheringits culture.

DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRY.

One great secret of the growth and
prosperity Of the United States is the
variety Of her products possessing as
she does soil and climate with few
exceptions adapted to the growth OF
every plant in the known world. Cot
ton was crowned king when it sold
for 30 cents pound at the close of
the civil war, and still sits upon the
commercial throne, and at the time
of the coronation the United States
was it's chief dominion, and now pro-
duces tive-sixths of all the cotton
raised. The high price Of cotton this
season has awakened Europe to a
greater activity in search of fields for
the growth OF cotton so that they may
be less dependent upon the United
states. Our planters will no doubt
In view of the existing conditions and
1acts, Largely increase the area de-
voted to the crop. There are thous-
ands OF acres of undeveloped cotton
land In this country. Texas alone
could raise all the cotton used in the
world, SO that no fears of foreign
competition need be entertained for
years to come. We return to our
subject and say, that the same rule
applies to Individual farmer, as to
DIVERSITY Of farm products. Our
southern planters have too long been
dlspScsed to the one crop system, al
most to the exclusion of all others,
and have suffered and groaned under
the burden Of the grain crop of the
northwest. No portion Of the United
States is so we'll suited to the growth
of all things needful as the Southern
States. No where else does Bermuda
grass flourish more luxuriantly and
the hay is now preferred to any other
by the owners of fine stock. The re-
cent introduction Of this hay into the
northern markets, has to great ex-
tent supplanted western hay. Again
the growth of many kinds of trees is
assured in the South, as limited ex-
periments have been made. Since
the peach crop in South Carolina has
become somewhat uncertain in
certain localities, it would be
well to try the different kinds Of nut
trees. Pecans, English walnuts and
almonds can be successfully grown
here; Southern California is not the
only place in the United States where
the English walnut can be grown. g.
A persimmon farm has been startad
IN Crawford county, Ga. The fruit
can be distilled into quite a number
of delicious and wholesome beverages,
the wood is valuable for furniture,
spools, etc. The scarcity Of timber
for railroad cross-ties, has set the
people Of the North to planting the
Catalpa, which is said to be far supe-
rior to oak or pine, lasting twice as
long, being less subject to rot; the
Catalpa will grow here. The inven-
tion and manufacture Of iron cross.
ties clearly shows the necessity of an
increased growth of the best timber
trees for this as well as other pur-
poses. All this is within the reach
of the people OF South Carolina.

DIR. l.. G. BROUGHTON
SCORCHI$S sen, TILLMAN,

In Atlanta on Sunday night at the
tabernacle DIR. Broughton replied to
the lecture Of Senator Tillman deliv-
cred in that city the week before.
Tillman's subject was the race ques-
ton. Dr. Broughton's theme, the
"Sensitive Fool"
Dr. Broughton said:
"Much Of this talk Of the race
problem is also the result Of morbid
sensitiveness. heard Senator Till
man Friday night give his lecture on
The Negro / tried to be fair in my
estimate Of it. For reckless frank
Dess it was a model; for sensiple
argument it was a mess. / like
frankness; / like to see man who
believes something and then is not
afraid to say it. In this respect and
in this respect alone, is Senator Till
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
subtitle prejudices Of ignorant people.
! Never once in his solution Of this
great question did he get out Of the
| realm of the rankest paganism. The
| Christian religion was never limited
at as having anything to do with
overcoming bad conditions or uplift-
ing the race. One of the most prom
inent Christian educators in the South
said to me just as he finished his
harangue, His position is nothing
short Of the vilest paganism.' SEN
ator Tillman is pagan arguing from
the standpoint Of pagan philosophy.
THAT there are wrongs with re-
gard to the negro that must be right
ed nobody doubts. 1t was blunder
to put the ballot in their hands when
they were freed. The North sees
this. Senator Tilman's effort to fire
Southern hearts with hate for the
North because they forced this iniqui-
ty on US is unjust. | have travelled
North as much as he has. / have
circulated with better class OF
people where l have gone, and 1 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 well. | said in Boston to
an audience as large as Senator Till
man had Friday night, The negro
must be eliminated from politics and
white folks society," The remark
was cheered, though made in church.
The negro needs moral and religious
evolution. He needs to find his
place and settle. This he will do out
Of politics, but in it he is an ignorant
tool of mean politicians. Socially
the negro is not problem to US in
this country and never will be. Sen
ator Tillman's sarcastic comparison
Of the love Of his old faithful negro
servant and Newfoundland dog, to
be cheered by an Atlanta audience,
was, to say the least Of it, pitiable.
Let cheap politicians and dema.
gogues sneer as much as they will at
the Christian philanthrophy, it is
nevertheless the only hope for the
salvation and civilization of this
world. Paganism, with it's hell Of
oppression, is not the policy of our
people. II now and then an excep-
tion is tolerated, it is only for the
lack of time for the triumph of the
law of Christian equity"

Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan has re-
turned from his extended tour
through the eastern continent. Mr..
Bryan while in New Haven, Conn.
few days ago, was the guest Of
honor at banquet. When called
upon to respond, Mr.. Bryan said:
"The great issue at this time is
the issue between man and mammou
between plutocracy and democracy.
All surface questions of policy, of
taxation, Of regulation and of finance
are but phases of century-long, that
Worldwide struggle between the COM
mon people and organized wealth.
To say that it does not pay for ma
tion to violste the rights of the peo-
pie OF another nation involves 80
much Of addition, subtraction, mul.
tiplication and division that we NAV
get lost in maze of mathematics
But to say that the wages Of sin is
death, is to give an epitome OF his.
tory that accords with each PERSONS
experience. In dealing with finance,
with labor problems and with all the
other questions at issue we must view
them from q moral standpoint and
arraign every evil at the bar of the
public conscience"

sentatives of the Brotherhood Of Rail-

connective Firemen and the Order Of
Hallway Conductors have presented to

master M. W. Robinson and Chief
Dispatcher G. w. Messenger of the
Burlington, a petition asking for a re-
duction of hours. The trainmen met
in Joint session last Sunday afternoon
and discussed the hours of the Bur.
l1ngton from every view. They are
perfectly satised with the scale OF
wage being paid, but they are COM,
wage being paid, but they are very
dissatisfied with the hours they
are called upon to work. To reduce
the hours of labor, the tonnage Of
each train must be reduced, and re-
duced to such an extent that train
will be able to run from this city to-
Creston in from eight to ten hours, in
stead Of from nine to eighteen hours.
Some time ago the wages OF train.

10 per cent but the ts'ainmen claimed
that with this increase came an In.

SENDS TRAIN TO DOOM.
Fatal Mistake Of Operator in Throwing
Switch at Hinton.

Sioux City, Dec, 81 = Mistaking a
Great Northern freight No. 243 for a
passenger train of the Omaha railroad
Tower Waterman CT. Kemmerer at
the crossing mile above Hinton Mon
day threw the switch against the
Great Northern train, sending two
men to their death and injuring him
self and two others.
AS a result of his mistake and prob,
ably the negligence of the engineer
fourteen of the nineteeN cars on the
freight train were demolished. En-
gineer P. Gilbertson of Willmar. Mimi.
ami Fireman N. r. Hansen of Sioux
City were crushed to death In the cab
of the engine. Brakeman j. j. Hale
was thrown thirty feet and badly hurt
Conductor Griffin was injured and
Waterman Kemmerer himself was
hit on the head and thrown over the
right Of way by the destruction of the
tower in which he stood.
The few seconds just before the
wreck were the most horrible in the
II life of young Kemmerer. Realizing at
the last moment that he had mistaken
a Great Northern train for one OF the
Omaha, knowing that in moment the
train would be ditched and probably
lives lost, the Waterman struggled
frantically at the switch lever which
held property and life in its cogs
Vainly he threw his weight against
the steel to undo his fatal error, and
it was probably a kind providence
that wrecked his tower with the train
and for a time made him unconscious
of the terrible consequences.
Kemmerer, who is 1S years old,came
three days ago from Chicago. where he
was an employee of the Western Union
Telegraph company.
In it's mad career the train plunged
into the watchman's tower and it was
literally splintered. 1t was then that
Kemmerer was hit on the head and
rendered unconscious.
