SPO0NER LASHES
TILLMAN TO FURY

"Why do want to get in?" responded
Mr.. Spooner
well, I should like to know HON much
provoeation you are going to give man
without giving him a chance to strike
back a little said Mr.. Tillman.
well, get in then" said Mr.. Spooner.
As Mr.. Tillman started to reply he
suggested to Mr.. Spooner that he had bet
ter sit down a while.
mo, l do not intend to yield for a
speech; the senator can reply later. L
will yield for question" said Mr..
Spooner.
rs that ALP asked Mr.. Tillman.
That's ALL replied Mr.. Spooner,
sharply,
Singing Indictment.
The South Carolina senator took his
seat and was then subjected to one of
the most direct and singing indictments
ever delivered by a senator against a
colleague. Mr.. Spooner quoted from Mr..
Tillmans utterances of the burning of
negroes at the stake. and said:
mo man ought to encourage such a
horrible thing as that. 1t is a crime
against civilization to encourage it Con-
tinuing he said he had looked with admir-
ing eyes upon the efforts of Governor
Nardaman and other executives of south
ern states to suppress mobs taking lives
of negroes without giving them trials for
the crimes they were suspected of having
committed. II have been shocked" he
said "by the attitude of the senator from
South Carolina on more than one occa-
sion when he has spoken here in justifca-
ton. and in support of continuance of
lynching. There IS one man who ought
not to encourage 1t. 1t is the man who
sits here as the maker of laws"
Disclaming any intention to abuse Mr..
Tillman, he said it was his purpose only
to make a plea for good government. He
said he had not intended to be led into
such a discussion, but had been goaded
into it by Mr.. Tillman himself.
Mr.. Spooner concluded his speech with
a brief discussion of the race question,
declaring his belief that the majority
of the people OF the south did not entr-
tain the radical views which had been
expressed by Senator Tillman He adj
mitted the difficulties and hardships of
the race problem in the south. and said
the people of the north felt the best
way to aid in the solution of these diff
culties was for them to cease discuss
ing the matter. In this connection he
did not believe the agitation of Senator
Tillman could have the effect to quiet
the situation.
Mr. Spooner said he knew of no better
way TO perpetuate tim struggle between
the two races than to be constantly ana
violently declaring such trouble 10 be
imminent, and unavoidable.
When Mr. Spooner took his seat Mr.
Tillman remarked that he had expected
to have a few words TO say to the SEN
ator from Wisconsin. Il note the direct
personal attack he has made on ME. But
the latter part of his speech has wldened
the scope of the reply. l wish to make
and therefore. I will take occasion in
the near future to have something TO
say on this question, and In answer to
some of the insulting illusions he has
made
Senator Carmack Indicated his intention
of proceeding to discuss the Browns
vile affair tomorrow.

Larger Capacity of Cars.

. "A car service report showing the num-
her of cars handled in a district does
not always indicate the growth of a
place" said a railroad man yesterday
Say that the number of cars handled in
Alabama by the railroads in 1906 was the
same as the number handled in 1902. there
would be an increase of nearly 40 per cent
In the business handled. That is easily ex-
planned by the fact that four years ago
there We're practically no 100000 pound
capacity cars. Now a large majority of
the cars are Of 100000 pound capacity.
{ -Four years ago the average tonnage
of car was 80 tons. and now it has in
creafed to over 40 tons, especially in coal
cars All the railroads are building 1O0-
o0O capacity cars now. whereas a 10000
capacity car four years ago was consld-
cred immense.
While the report Of the Alabama Car
Service association shows a decrease of
about / per cent in the number of cars
handled in 1906 from the number in 1905,
the volume Of business was probably
larger on account of the increased ca
pacity of the cars used

trains between Birmingham and Atlanta.
Il have been running between Birmlng-

birmingham has surprised me great

that she wants. That is the spirit

o bells that rang, o bells that sang
Above the martyrs wilderness,
Till from that Redeemed coast-line spranS
The Gospel seed to cheer and bless.
What are your garnered sheaves today
O Mission bellsi Elesion bells
o Mission bells of Monterey
o bells that crash, O bells that clash
Above the chimney erowded plain;
On wall and tower your voices dash,
But never with the old refrain:
In mart and temple gone astray,
Ye dangle bells! Ye jangle bells.
We wrangle bells of Monterey,
O bells that die, so far, so nigh,
Come back once more across the sea;
Not with the zealot's furious cry,
Not with the creed's austerity;
Come with His love alone to stay,
o Mission bells: Eleson bells!

THE HuMORIST.


The humorist doth work away
To make the people laugh,
By jokes or little bits of verse,
Or else a paragraph
He doesn't dare to sign his name,
His modesty's so great,
And then, besides, to do it would
Be just like tempting fate.
Each day he takes the same old themes,
Apparels them anew
In dress of varied style and cut
And hands them out to you.
Sometimes you laugh and say, That's
good,'
Sometimes you roast a lot
And say, 4 can't conceive how one
Could write such perfect rot
IT'S thus the hard-worked humorist,
Pursues his thankless task.
In fortunes sunny, golden smile
He's rarely seen to bask.
No matter what his woes may be,
His foolishness appears
Each day, although his quips are but
The aftermath of tears.
The first advice given to budding au-
thors is to write on one side of the paper
only. And unless it is a business matter,
there is no necessity for doing even that.

at the simplicity of a little town.
He does not know that there life is
sweeter and more real than it is along
the pulsing, lighted ways where neigh
borliness is considered queer and fellow
feeling Is an unknown quantity. It is in
a little town where the roses climb in
summer time over the veranda and the
solemnlty of twilight is tempered by just
enough of the human and material ele-
ment to bring out its spiritual phase in
a not unpleaslng contrast. For the bark
of a dog or the sound of a human voice

proach of darkness and intensihes, rather
than dissipates, the stiffness that prevails
Twilight in a city has no significance,
other than a flare of myriad electric
lights an influx of toilers to the streets
and a mad scramble for the home-going
cars. Life is faster in the city, but it
is also narrower, colder and more of
problem than a privilege.

On your lips a song!
