Register and Vote.

DAILY Item.
The Republicans, it is predicted,
will put out candidates for congress
in every district in this State in which
the negroes are numerous and will
do 80 for the purpose of contesting
the election Of the Democrats who
are elected. They will try to induce
white republicans of intelligence and
some degree of responsibility to be-
come candidates to the end that the
republicans in congress may have
some shadow Of excuse for uneeating
the Democrats. When a candidate,
Ike DAntzler, of Orangeburg, goes to
Washington to contest the seat of a
we'll qualified man like Mr.. Lever,
the fair Minded republicans are not
prepossessed in favor of their. brother
republican from the South, and are
not willing to go to the length of
violating their ideas of right and JUS
tice to unseat worthy representative,
though be be Democrat, to seat an
ignorant negro. The plans of the re-
publicans are of no concern to us,
some Democrats may say, but that
would be mistaken idea, for we are
vitality concerned. We mention these
rumors concerning the republican
plans for the purpose of again EN-.
phasizing the necessity for every DEM
ocrat to register and vote at the gene
rel election. If the Democrats do
their duty and vote in the general
election, as they do in the primary, it
will be impossible to unsest our rep
resentatives. Register and vote.

Fearful Accident.

Through the careless of an engineer
on the Southern Railway, and his
disobedience of orders two trains car
rying a heavy list of passengers COL
lided near Hodges, Tenn, on Septem-
Der 24sh, sending fifty four people to
death, and mangling and manning
and ipjaring l20, several of whom
will die. The claim of failure to see
either the station or signals could not
be set up by the engineer of the
west-bound train were he alive to en-
ter plea of defence, as the accident
happened in broad daylight and, &C.
cording to the best information OBJ
tainable, be had the orders in little
frame in front of him, as his monster
of iron and steel rushed by New
Market and soon after came upon an
east bound passenger train, making
for New Market in compliance with
instructions to meet the west-bound
train, which carried the sleepers from
the East for Knoxville. Chattanooga
and other Southern cities.
The possibility exists that the ILL
fated engineer may have been asleep
or that death had suddenly taken the
sight from his eyes before New
Market was reached. Bat nothing
is known save that the orders were
not obeyed. The trains were on time
and not making over thirty-6Ve miles
an hour, yet the impact as they round
ed curve and came suddenly upon
each other was frishtful. Both en-
gines and the major portions of both
trains were demolished, and why the
orders were disregarded or misinter-
preted probably will never. be known,
as the engineers of the two trains
were crushed, their bodies remaining
for hours under the wreckage of the
monster locomotives, which but 8
short time before Lad lesped forward
at the touch of their strong hands
upon the throttle.

A PASSENGER S STORY.

John w. Brown, of Rogersville,

die, and within few feet Of her lay
a womsn's head, while the decspitat-

TROUSERS FOR FILlPINCS
War Department Decides That Their
Nudity Shall Not BE Sub
ject for Criticism

Washington, June 25.-The Igorrotes
and the Negritos, representatives of
the wild tribes of the Philip
pine islands, on exhibit at the
st. Louis exposition, are to be so
clothed that their nudity can not be
a subject Of criticism. Directions to
this effect have been given to the re-
sponsible officials at ST. Louis by Col.
Edwards, chief of the insular bureau
of the war department, who has been
on visit to the exposition and is now
on his way home
Some representations on the sub
ject of the dress of these people, or
lack of dress. and the suggestion that
it might be very properly subject
of criticism, have been made to the
war department by influential persons.
Officials of the war department also
are anxious that the representatives
OF these wild tribes, who, they say,
form only small proportion of the
population of the Philippine. islands,
shall not be unduly exploited to the
disadvantage of the scouts and con-
stabulary Filipinos who are at the ex-
position. The officials at st. Louis
accordingly will make plain by intelli-
gently posted notices the exact con-
dition of affairs, so that visitors to the
fair will not get the impression that
the wild tribes are an important ele-
ment of the Filipino population.

Washington, June 25.-Felicitations
on his unanimous nomination by the
Chicago convention were extended to
the president by the members of his
cabinet assembled for the regular
semi-weekly meeting In addition to
a discussion of the present situation
and the exchange of congratulations,
the president and cabinet considered
some important business.
1t was decided that the custom
house rates imposed by the Dingley
tariff law should be imposed upon all
goods imported into the American
zone on the isthmus of Panama, ex-
cept on such goods as may be shipped
there from the United States. The
American zone is regarded as United
States territory. The enforcement OF
the tariff law will be placed in the
hands Of Gov. Davis. 1t also
was decided to establish on the 18th.
mus such postoffices as may be neces.
sary for the transaction of the postal
business of the American zone. Gov
Davis will designate the location OF
the offices, and, it is understood, will
appoint the postal officials. Orders
were subsequently issued by Secre-
tary Taft providing for carrying out
these conclusions.
