SOUTH'S GREAT PROBLEM

The race riots in different parts of
the country have an evil foreboding
for the South What has happened
in Atlanta, Little Rock and Charlotte,
\. c.. this week is just as liable to
happen right here in Greenville- or
elsewhere in the South, and that these
outbreaks are growing more frequent
and violent cannot be denied The
idle. drifting, worthless class Of ne
groes is growing larger every day
and it is these that constitute the
menace to society. It would seem
that some drastic measures were nee
essary to rid the country of this class.
Senator B. R Tillman, of South
Carolina, one OF the foremost thinkers
in the country, said in a speech al
Augusta, Ga, last Monday:
The superior race should protect
many millions OF innocent negroes
from false teachers and bad leaders,
who are rapidly driving the whites
to a desperation that means race war
that can only result in the destruction
OF the weaker race
After considering every conceivable
plan for the protection OF white wo-
men against negro assailants, he con-
Guided that the. only effective one
would be the establishment OF a Ell
ropean system OF passports, coupled
with large increase OF officers OF
the law. He referred to the rowing
class of negroes, who pose as workers
at saw mills and railroads. but who
are always Of the most depraved
character Worthless scum of the
race, these are creatures who are
threatening our women and precipi-
tating riots, he said
He declared the only place for such
negroes was among Northerners.
whose scheme Of production produced
them. He declared if all were shot
like beasts the country would be bet
ter off. That being unlawful, when
they we're unable to produce pass
ports should be. placed on chain gangs
until refromed or be made to leave
the country. He said no further con-
cessions should be made to various
directors. as 1--WE cease to ponder,
else we will soon be forced 70 60 to
shooting Negroes. too, will begin
! to kill when they begin to believe the
color of the skin is death warrant,
regardless of good behavior.
He declared that the white men OF
the South should go ahead and do
what they believed was right, and
end the matter regardless OF the
Yankees between Cape Cod and hell.

BARLOW MINSTRELS

Some few changes; a new scene for
the first part-bnt withal fair pro-
duction. Some Of the songs were ex-
cellent; viz: Farewell" 81 Wonder

The company, though small work

capped by the absence OF Dan Holt,
the leading end man, who was forced
to return home just before the per-
Torrance on account of the death of
his mother
The jokes of the first part were
rather antiquated; some of them had
become moss-grown with age; bur
the redeem1ng feature was easily the
solos by vocalists of good favor. Mr..
Joseph McAnnallon, sobriqueted the
'Irich Terror" demonstrated the fact
that in a few years time, he will
force Reese Prosser to divide the hon

THE SOUTH'S
GREAT LOSS.

The entire South suffered an almost
irreparable loss this week in the
deaths OF Mrs Jefferson Davis, in
New York, and the Rev. Sam P.
Jones, in Little Rock.
Mrs Davis, while loved and rev.
erned for being the widow of Jeffer
son Davis, President of the Confed-
eracy, was also esteemed for her
many lovable traits of character. By
Mississippians she was probably held
in the greatest reverence She loved
Mississippi more than all the other
States of the COME deracy, and one OF
her last acts in life was to place win
dows in a church at Biloxi, dedicated
to the memories of her departed hus-
band, Jefferson Davis, and he daugh-
ter Winnie.
In the death of Rev Sam Jones
not only the South but the entire
country has felt his loss. From
drunkenness he was raised to the high
plain of salvation, and he proved the
/ faith of God by his works and deeds
from thereafter. 4 plain, blunt man,
he swayed thousands while on the
evangelistic platform. He was liv-
ing proof that from the mouth OF
babes shall come forth words to COLI

as these at hearers:

The Jewish Spectator, high class

Scene-New York City
Time-The present.
1t was my pleasure last fall to wit
ness the above production, and the
cast remains practically the same as
then.
Had Clyde Fitch selected the ac-
tress to interpret the dual cha acter
of Margaret Rolfe, he could have
made no better selection than Miss
Walsh. Having been associated SO
long with Melbourne Mcdowell, AMI
filling the vacancy created by the
death of Fannie Davenport, she has
long since demonstrated her ability
to play strong emotional roles as
is called for in "The Woman in the
Case"
The plot is exceedingly interesting
and demonstrates fully what some
women will endure to save the lives
of the men they love. AS is called
for in this production, Margaret
Rolfe leaves a home of refinement ana
becomes the associate of harlots that
she may learn from one of them
(Claire FOSTER the secret of the
death Of her husbands friend, for
which he IS imprisoned awaiting exc
cution Practicing all the arts OF
trickery; mingled with an apparent
utter abandonment Of life, she be-
comes a gay demimonde and learns
little by little OF the secret which
means so much to her future happi-
ness. Stirred on by the approaching
day OF her husbands execution, she
uses all the wiles of determined
woman and obtains the secret that
cost her so much
! The climax that occurs in the third
! act IS one Of the most thrilling scenes
on the stage today, and fully demon
strates the emotional ability Of Miss
/ Walsh. .
However. you should not lose sight
OF Miss Helen Ware. who portray-
the character OF Claire Foster rather
too unpleasantly real. Her interpre-
tation Of the cold. devil-may- wo-
man of the world is a work of art and
she shares the honors with the star.
Alexander Won Mitzel, as Julian
Role, is excellent. but as he IS in pris-
on most of the time, yon need not
expect much from him.
George Sumner, as Mr.. Thompson,
lawye and counsel and friend to
Margaret Rolfe, IS at all times con-
vincing and pleasing.
Walters, servant to Rolfes, demon
strates his manly devotion to Mar
garet during her trying ordeal and
accompanies her through it all. The
part has been safely entrusted to Vim.
Wadsworth, who makes the most Of
his opportunities.
The balance OF the company has
been selected with care, and as an en-
tirety. the production is one OF the
best. that will grace the boards IT
| the Grand this season.

I shall expect to see every seat oe-
cupied. for the management deserves

duction

CAR SHOP ROBBERIES
MAY REACH $4,000
Four Arrests Made in Connection
With Robbery of Public Service
Corporation.

NEWARK. Jan. 16:-Oficials of
the New Jersey Public Service Cor
Doration endeavored yesterday TO as
certain the value of the property
J stolen from the Newark car barns
and repair shop during the last two
years. in which thetts four employees
Of the company are implicated.
The officials believe the loss TO the
may reach $4,000. A
small portion of the booty, consisting
of field plates of copper, brass journ-
ais and arrmature and motor trim
mings. has been recovered. Most OF
it is believed TO have been melted and
disposed of.
The arrest of the four men in
volved was brought about through
the work of Detective-Sergeant Frank
Nv. Tuite. a former newspaper man.
He was given the case when Auditor
MATTHEW r. Boylan. of the Public
Service. reported to his %superiors

ing. which he had devised, had re-
yealed that systematic losses of guam

lutte worked until he learned
enough to cause him to suspect John
Catlett. ffty-one years old, OF No. 3Sl
South avenue, and Joseph NeWcombe,
forty. of No. 50 Arlington avenue.
Catlett has been employed by the
company twenty-five years, and was
trusted implicitly. He was engaged
at times in the stock department and
at other times as motorman of a dis
tributing car, which carried stock
and motor parts to the various car
barns throughout the system.
Newcombe has been employed for
more than two years as the driver OF
a supply wagon.
Detective-Sergeant Tuite followed
NeWcombe and saw him unload a
quantity of stock at the junk yard of
Edward Mendel, No. 1922 Fifteenth
( avenue. Tuite ascertained the nature
' of the stuff left. Gradually, the pol
ice say, the plan of the cOmpany's
lOoters became clear TO the detective,
and last Saturday night he made his
first positive move when he arrested
| EeWcombe. The prisoner first pro-
| ested against arrest, asserting his
innocence. Afterward, it is said,
ghcu the detective convinced New
'ombe that certain acts of his. in

more money than he could possibly
