Rev. John q, Beckwith Dead.

Rev. John G. Beckwith, pastor of
Bethel Methodist church in Charles
ton, died at the Riverside lnfirm-
ary in that city Monday afternoon,
after an illness of only few days.
Tuesday of last week he was oper-

too late to save his life. He was con-
scious almost until the last moment,
and gave directions for the arrange.
ment of his affairs. He requested
that his body be buried at Florence.
He was born in Orangeburg coun-
ty in 1873, and leaves a wife and two
children. Mr.. Beckwith was one OF
the most prominent young ministers

was well known and had many friends
in this county, being pastor of the
Barnwell circuit few years ago.

Wanted to Fight 1illman.

WINCHESTER, Va, March 21.-
United States Senator Benjamin r.
Tillman, of South Carolina, who lee
tured in Winchester Saturday night
last, on the race problem, while in a
business mems club at Martinsburg,
w. Va. Sunday morning, nearly
started free fight as the result OF
an epithet that he is alleged to have
applied to President Roosevelt.
Senator Tillman, in an automobile
was taken from Winchester to Mar
tinsburg, a distance of twenty-five
niles, after his lecture here in order
that he could catch train for Ohio.
He was entertained at the club in
Nartinsburg, and during a general
discussion the President was men
toned.
Tllman is alleged to have spoken
hsultingly of MIR. Roosevelt, and the
remark was at once resented. Angry
words are said to have been exchang-
ed. and the situation was rendered
acute by Senator Tillman's refusal to
withdraw the Objectionable remark.
A fstic encounter was imminent,
but cooler heads prevailed and the
difficulty was patched up. The ma
jority of those in the club entertain
Ing Senator Tillman were Republi-
cans and admirers of the President.

street Car Rules Of Rio.

There are first and second class
street cars, writes Albert Hale In the
Reader, and I, with package In my
arms, had taken a first class bond, as
a street car is called In Rio de Janeiro.
Scarcely had I done 30 when the con-
ductor requested me to transfer to
second class car whenever 1t might
come along, because no one is allowed
to carry anything greater than a lap
satchel first class. So I humbly de-
scended and had either to mix with
market women and sweaty laborers or
to take q tlbury. A tilbury, named
after the English maker who years
ago introduced 1t, is curious two
wheeled, light springed cab, like an
old fashioned gig, and resembles a
hanson without the attachment for
the driver. He sits inside the tlbury.
A person without a necktie is no more
allowed first class on the street cars
than was I with my parcel. They are
decidedly particular in Brazil and in
herit many fastidious ways from the
time of the empire, when dress and
manners were the mark separating the
aristocracy from the working classes.

Hard on Tllman.

B. R. Tillman, Senator from South
Carolina through no help Of ours,
recently delivered an address in
Richmond, Va, and here is what the
News-Leade of that city had to say
shout him. A. B. Williams, former
" of this State and editor of the
Greenville, News is now editor Of the
News-Leader:
ssWhat an ill-contrived, cross
grained, porcupine kind of a surly
brute this man Tillman is! Here in
Richmond he was treated with the
most careful and elaborate courtesy.
Governor Swanson, in his own car
rage drove the visitor over the city
IN the afternoon. The newspapers
gave him ample notices and the
audience was large and representa-
tive. Ye the went out Of his way to
insult the local Young Mems Chris
tan Association by accusing it OF
neglect and discourtesy and his lee.
ture itself was so coarse in many OF
its illusions and illustrations as to
shock the kindly and refined people
who had the right to expect that
their feelings and tastes would be
respected. The poor strolling player
who performs in cheap houses and
earns twenty dollars a week is
courteous to his patrons as a matter
of instinct, training, principle and
policy; but this senator from South
Carolina could not observe the ordi-
nary rules of decency.
eve see that even the local Young
Mems Christian Association itself is
compelled, through its own publica-
ton, to resent the unjust and un-
truthful criticism to which the SEN
ator subjected it and to tender an
indirect apology to the public for
bringing him here. But he got his
$50 and probably that is all he cares
for. ,
tsNow we see he grossly violated
the proprieties while the guest of a
social club at Martmsburg and near
ly precipitated a personal fight.
"The man leaves a trail Of bad fla
vor and bad temper wherever ne
goes. He carefully advertises HIM
self and his show, very much as Tom
Dixon does, by disregarding the or
binary conventionalities and decen-
cies of life and making himself con.
spicuous for vulgarity, coarseness and
ill-nature.
''The Southern gentleman is about
the most courteous, kind, genuine
and loyal of all human beings; and,
on the other hand, the Southern man
who forgets or disregards the ira
ditions of his section or is ignorant
Of them and presents himself as a
sharper and trickster intent on max
ing money at any cost, is about the
hardest, most callous, most unscru-
pulous and grinding prostitution in
existence; and the Southerner who
for any reason or without reason and
merely in obedience to instinct, is a
tough, is the most insufferable and
offensive of all blackguards.
