M aitress Struck her Insulter
with Plate.

Greensboro special in Char
lotte Observer: An interesting
and sensational incident occurred
in the dining room of the Ben
bow Hotel here at noon to day.
Mattresses serve the meals at
the Benbow. All sorts of men
come here and some of the girls
may not be what their friends
would have them be. A large
man was eating at the table
where a small girl was. The fel.
low asked the waitress if she
could tell him the number of the
room of a certain girl, whom he
had pointed out. The little WON
an became indignant and told
him in no uncertain terms that
she would not give the name of
the girl nor the number of her
room. AT this the man said,
"Well, | will give you $40 to
tell me where your room is"
The words were hardly out of
the mans mouth when the girl
cut him in the back of the head
with sharp edged plate and
broke his scalp to the bone. The
blood flew from the wound and
the episode caused some excite
ment. 1t is safe to say that the
town and the visitors are with
the girl.

Tillman on New Subjects
His Views on Immigration
What he Makes Lectur-
ing.

Barnwell special in yesterdays
Charlotte Observer: There were
two new features to chara, ter 'ze
Senator Til!man's speech to-day.
While he favored bringing III o
the State desirab White immi-
grants from the north of Europe
and from the British I,les to
settle on farms and live in The
towns so as to increase the white
population and thus help solve
the race problem and for the
purpose of having the new
corners improve the soil, he said
it was next to impossible to ac-
omplish this because immigration
is along isothermal lines and for
the further reason that wages
paid in this part of the country
do not attract desirable foreign
ers. He did not want the cotton
mills to get any relief in the
form of cheap Italian or other
foreign labor to crowd out the
native help. He thought cotton
mills, generally speaking, were
good things, but ne did not want
to see foreigners brought in to
displace the home people merely
to swell the dividends of the
Yankee stockholders.
The other new feature was the
Senator's confiding in the crowd
how much he was making out
of his speechmaking in the
North. He said he had delivered
about 100 lectures in the north,
and that cit tickled him to
death to make these Yankees
pay him 800 TO 5000 speech
TO have him deliver them the
gospel according to South Carroll
na on the race question"
