TilLMAN ADVOCATES
PASSPORT SYSTEM.
Says Southern People Will Be Forced
to Some Such Remedy.

Augusta, Oct. Sin II speech
delivered on the race problem here,
Senator b. r. Tillmrn declared the
time had come when the South
must act, and suggested the adop-
ton OF Il European passport system
by which each person must have a
certificate of good character before
moving from residence or home,
or before being received into a new
section, and any such person with
out such certificate be imprisoned.
This he admitted would be placing
great Inconvenience on the whites
who would have to be included in
the law because of the fifteenth
amendment, but he declared if
this plan or some pcaccablc one is
not adopted Immediately, the
country was rushing toward the
brink of an abyss which meant
horrible and bloody race war Of cx-
termination.
His speech was heard by thous-
sands of people and was enthusias-
tically received. The Atlanta riots,
hr declared, had illuminated the
situation and shown the people they
were living on the crust of a vol
cano. The riot, he believed, would
too soon be repeated in other sec
tiOns if no other solution of the
problem was found
