WARM WORDS FLY
 THICK IN SENATE TiIIman and Hopkins Again
 Fight It Out DOWN BY CHAIR Walsh Bank and the Negro Question Are lnJected-Lafolette Begins Speech on the Rate
 Bill.
DOWN BY CHAIR

Washington, April 19.-The Senate today passed a joint resolution appropriatng a million dollars to be used in affording re- lief to San Francisco sufferers; appro- priated s40OO to pay the expenses of bring ing home the bodies of the Kearsarge vic- time; listened to an explanation by MT Bailey concerning the proceedings of yes terday's democratic senatorial caucus; heard the first half of an exhaustive speech by MT Lafolette on the railroad rate bill. and witnessed a decidedly spirited encounter between. Mir Tlllman and MT. Hopkins concerning the recent Chicago bank failure
 Mr. Tillman read newspaper charges that the Illinois senator had used his off cial position to prevent punishment for violation of the banking law. and Mir Hopkins responded by charging the South Carolina senator with approving the lynching of negroes and with securing his election to the Senate by suppresslng the negro vote. He also. declared that MT Tillman had changed the official report of his last speech on the bank question so as to make it appear that he (Mr. Hopkins) had evaded question, and to this MT. Tillman responded that he had done nothing of the kind. The colloquy at last became so bitter that 1t was neces- sary to call the senators to order.
 MT Lafollette attacked the over-eapital- ization of the railroads and contended for the broadest construction of the railroads, and the right of Congress to legislate for the control of the railroads. He said that the pending bill was defective in many important respects; took position in support of the Bailey non-suspension amendment, and announced himself as op- posed to a broad court review of the finding of the interstate commerce com r,iscion

Race Issue Injected.

The very bitter and acrimonious debate which broke out in the Senate today be- tween Senators Hopkins of Illinois and Tillman of South Carolina involved the matter debated a few days ago regard ing the Walsh bank failure and crimlna- tions were made by the two senators. The race issue was injected into the debate by Mr Hopkins. charging MT. Tilman with approving the burning of negroes in the south.
 MT. Hopkins denounced Mir 1illman for trying to regulate the laws of the land, while his own state did not obey the laws.
 Mir. Hopkins charged MT. Tillman with exploiting himself for the purpose of se- curing newspaper notoriety, and said he could not understand why man coming from such d state as South Carolina should be concerned by the administra- tion of the law in Chicago. where the peo- ple were able to take care of themselves.
 After stating that Mir. Tillman was a modern reformer from South Carolina, with a white population of 557,0O0 and a black population of 7S200O. MT. Hopkins charged MT. Tillman with having reached the Senate by suppressing the colored vote. He asked if MT. Tillman would deny having said in 1900 that he done all he could to keep negroes from voting.
 "Why should l deny it. answered MT. Tillman, when I put it on record? l do mt dpoV if j"

Approves of Burning Negroes.

Mr Hopkins declared MT. Tillman was a man most indifferent to obedience to law in his own state My God! he exclaimed, think of having here man who gives his approval to the burning of his fellow creatures-men and women.
 MT Tillman answered that MT. Hop kins had not replied to his charges and upon MT. Hopkins refusal to state that he was the vice president of the bonding company Mir. Tillman said that he took refusal as a confession and 'as proof positive that he is exertng his official position to promote the violation of the law"
 At this iuncture both Senators Cullom and Hopkins denied using their influence in Walsh's behalf.
 Following statement by Mir. Hop kins that in the north courts dealt with offenders, Mir. Tillman hotly inquired: How about the affair at Springfield O. ?' which brought Mir. Foraker to his feet with the statement that while it was a regrettable affair the law immediately was invoked to punish the offenders. He was glad to see that MT. Tillman was the only senator who defended shooting and burning negroes.
 The colloquy between Messrs Tillman and Hopkins continued. At the tops of their voices the two senatofs engaged III wrangling one talking on banks and tine other on negroes until MT Aldrich finally called for the regular order Mir. Till man declared he would sit down when he got ready and insisted he was trying to get Mir. Hopkins to answer him re- garding the Walsh bank. The dispute was renewed and became even more heated. Mir. Tillman repeated that in South Carolina 1t was necessary to de- stroy the brute who outraged white wo- men in order for the white to gain pro- tection for their wives and daughters
 The Vice President declared that rules of debate would be enforced. but before either of the combatants could reply Mir I.afolette was recognized and spoke on the rate bill.

Patriotism--Some Of It's Duties.

Patriotism--some Of It's Duties.
Whatever progress mas bren made
in the world was made possible by
the spirit of patriotism The two
sides of patriotism is love of God and
love of country. The fellow who loves
only himself cannot be patriot for
the reason that the demands Of God
and his country iDterferes with his
selfish aims and purposes. He does
not blush to profane the name OF
G,d, nor abuse the spirit of patriot
ism. he extols that which degrades
and disqualifes men for the higher
duties of life, and ridcuies and abuses
the true and the good. He is never
happier than when be fluids that he
has indoctrinsted following suf-
icient to shape the course Of State.
History finds him wherever its search
light has been thrown. The observer
of today sees him, the patriot Of the
future will meet him. He belorgs
to every age and combsts the high
and noble things which must be held
up by the patriotic men and women
WHEN he kills out their lsaders. l.
becomes then matter of fret import
ance for patriotic men to guard against
tie selfish man and the selfish spirit,
and to themselves to the task Of going
forward in.thst which they know to be
right. and that which is best fer all.
Opportunities are constantly waiting
uoon Us to show how much Of the
patriotic spirit we possess. Laws that
we know promotes crime; such as the
dispensary, should be repealed. o.
fees are to be filed, juries are to be
selected, school trustees appointed,
railroads built, towns laid out, fac
tories erected, banks established,
colleges founded, insurance companies
raised at home, (Itthe money southern
people have invested in northern in-
sursnce companies had been Invested
in the south, not that we love the
north less, but the south more, We
would not have to 80 north for
capital to build cotton mills or have
to fight southern money in national
elections) and many other things are
to be done. Just now a troliy Car
line is feeling its way along that
portion of Lexington county which
was no doubt laid out by the divine
hand for that purpose. Every patrio-
tic man and woman along the line
will have the opportunity of giving
the right of way. When they have
done this our county will stand almost
at the head of the honor roll class
(Aiken being first of counties in the
state in length of trolly lire: It is
not expected that orr people will
refuse the right of way. It is q
patriotic duty to give it. And Lex
ington now awakened to sense OF
her inestimable natural advantages
cannot sff)rd to dlss]low such
benefit to rest upon the ridge which
G ID made for the parting ct the
waters, and safety for travel.
