South Carolina Senator Says He Did
Not Challenge DoIiver TO a Duel But
Would Like to Meet Him In Debate
on the Race Question.
WAYNE Ncb., July 2G.-Spocial to
The News: THE white man Is better
than the black man; the southern
white man is better than the northern
white man.
This was the startling statement OF
United States Senator Ben Tillman,
better known as "Pitchfork" Tillman,
who delivered an address before the
Wayne chautauqua yesterday after
noon ON the race question. Using II
ccasclcss flow of profanity, Senator
Tulman banged away at the colored
race and at the northern whites until
he was black In the face.
Challenged to a Fight.
out of the heated remarks of his
address Senator Tillman drew n chal-
lengo for fight. 1t was j. ID. Slaugh-
ter, veteran of the civil war, whose
ire was SO aroused mt the radical re-
marks of Senator Tillman that, after
they had bantered back and FORTH Old
Soldier Slaughter declared that he
would meet Senator Tillman after the
speech and settle the matter. But the
meeting did not take place.
Called Northerners Scallawags.
1t was when he called the northern
soldiers "scallawags and carpetbag'
gers" that Senator Tillman drew fire
from the audience.
"You don't live with the niggers,
said the senator. you people up here
don't know anything about the niger
You only see him at long range. Book
or Il. Washington is all wrong. If you
educate the Niger and allow him to
vote, he will soon rule the south.
Black Days Of South Carolina.
"In some parts of the south there
are ten niggers to one white man. We
had eight years of black rule in South
Carolina, and it was the most shame
full, the blacklist period of our history
Before black shall rule again, the
south will run red.
1--WE had to kill off enough of then
to subordinate them and teach then
their place"
Did Not Challenge Dolliver.
Senator Tillman denied the reports
that he had issued n challenge for due
to Senator Dolliver, but declared III
would like to meet the Iowa Statesman
on the platform at any old time.
Il have not seen Dolliver since las
March," he said, "but | would be glat
to meet him on the lecture platform
any time to discuss the race question
Deliver is afraid to meet me-"
Tillman seemed to have the crow
with him. He drubbed the republica,
party, declaring that in the south
democrat meant n white man and
republican meant a niger. Blu

failed at any time to suggest any RI
tional solution of the race problem.

RUSHING TIE MILK CANS
CREAMERY TRAFFIC CONGESTS
TRAIN SERVICE HERE.
MILK TRAIN SOME DAY MAYBE

Several Carloads Of Milk Cans Roll
Through Norfolk Each Way Every
Day and the Traffic Is Becoming
Serious Problem.
Come boys, let's rush the cans!"
You hear 1t at the Junction but it's
not that the lid is off at the Junction;
it's only the daily call to battle of the
express and trainmen up against the
milk can problem.
The growth of the creamery indus
try and the corresponding develop
ment in the dairy interests of the
northwest Is threatening to turn the
Northwestern railroad into milk
man on gigantic scale. Only instead
of peddling milk the railroad service
as collecting agent, the farmers Of
the northwest each day shipping by
express several carloads of milk and
cream through Norfolk to the big
creamery centers at Omaha and Lin
coin.
Traffic Grows.
From two to three carloads of cream
and milk cans each morning are
hauled out of Norfolk by the east
bound passenger. At noon the cars
ceiling high with the empty cans roll
back into Norfolk. From the lines to
the northeast, the northwest and the
west the stream of milk cans flows
into Norfolk con the road to market.
To the trainmen the milk can has
fast become a symbol of grief 1t
means always a threatened delay. At
Norfolk the flood of cans often reach.
es such a volume that timecards are
brushed aside by the rows of green
and yellow cans. It's twenty minutes
for lunch at the Junction depot but
this summer it's often a good deal
more than twenty minutes for the cans
and their everlasting redistribution in
Norfolk for the several lines.
Becoming a Problem.
Last summer the cans were begin.
ming to flourish and the milk prob
lem" was beginning to be discussed in
railroad circles. But the task of load
ing and unloading the cans has be-
come a far bigger problem this year
than last and if the butter factories
continue on their prosperous road the
can as a railroad problem is going to
demand some kind of solution in a
year or so.
A special milk train" train that
would carry NOTHING hut tho other
some cans, has been suggested as the
way by which the road will in time
find it's way out of the threatened con
gestion in the can traffic. Northwest
ern officials, however, say that while
the future may hold the milk trains
the present year will see no such mea
sure adopted.
