Representative G. D. Mann
Wouldn't Vote to Reflect
Tillman--HiS Reasons.

Columbia special in Charlotte
Observer: Representative @. D.
Mann, who is also Methodist
minister, refused 10 vote today
TO confirm the reelection of U. S.
Senator Tillman. In refusing to
vote he gave these sensational
reasons: II wish to state my
reasons for not voting for the
Hon. Benjamin r Tillman to
succeed himself in the United
S ates Senate:
"First-He made malicious
attack upon the ministry OF
South Carolina, charging them
with being in league with ex.
barkeepers of the State, with
Col. James Hoyt as their stand
ard bearer, to defeat and destroy
the ulspensary law In South Gar
olina This he knew was false
and an outrage on common de-
cency.
"Second-Before | could vot 9
f)- him | should have to know
how much money he returned TO
Mr.. Hubbell as rebates allowed
the State of South Carolina. l
contend that as Governor of the
State he was handling the money
of the people, and he had no
right to return the money to the
liquor houses any more than the
present board of directors had
the right to appropriate to their
own use, or for other purposes as
they. might see fit"

LONG STAPLE COTTON.

Mr.. r. j. McIlwain, one of Lam
caster county's successful farm
ers, who is a great believer in the
Florodora long staple cotton,
showed us day or two ago a re.
port of the sale in Charleston last
July of seven bales of that vari-
ETY. raised by him. One bale
brought 20 cents per pound, ano.
ther 10 cents and the remaining
five, which were the last picking,
III cents. The total sales
amounted to $594.15 Over 800.
was realized for one bale alone.
When the long staple COM
mands so much better price than
the ordinary cotton, and the plant
seems to do we'll in this part OF
the country, it is a matter of sur.
prise that more farmers do not
raise the long staple kind. Mr..
McIlwain has limited quantity
of the seed which he will sell to
those desiling to try it.

Upon this point Mr.. Gonzales
said: "We OF both races are to
live here in the South side by
side for all time, no matter what
theories may be advanced and
emphasized. This, TO any SEN
sible man it seems TO me, is the
fact which we must face. Since
we are to remain together, the
question which we should con-
stantly consider is how can we
do it IN peace, in harmony, and
in way that each race will
serve the best interest of the
other, in way that each race
will be made more happy, more
prosperous because Of the pre-
sence of the other. 1t is the ex.
treme of folly, and almost crime
for any individual or group of
individuals, to pursue course
which will encourage racial
strife when two people are to
remain together for all time

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 23.-The
National Farmers Union in it's
second day of the annual con-

number of important resolutions.
Among these was one that the
union should establish mini

the present year at it's meeting
next fall, and that by its system
of warehousing it should main.
tain such price.
The diversification Of crops
was'the subject Of a reso luton
which called upon the farmers of
the country to increase the va
riety of their crops and more
largely to raise supplies for
home consumption. 1t was urged
that farmers raise something
which shall find a ready local
sale each month Of the year.

THE RACE CONFERENCE

The race conference held in
Columbia this week seems to
have been quite success, so far
as the attendance and the char
acter ofthe speeches delivered are
concerned. 1t remains to be
seen what the practical results
will amount to. Gov. Ansel and
Judge Benet were among the
prominent whites who addressed
the conference.
The governor undertook to
preach sermon and ne succeeded
in a marked degree. His text was
from the Fourth Commandment
"Six days shalt thou labor. The
State quotes the governor as
saying in part: In these days
and times when so many are
louhging around, SO many va.
grants, this is a good text from
which the negro preachers may
teach their congregations. There
was never a greater opportunity
Tor workers nor less excusetor idle
ness. Therei is work for everybody
the times are calling for laborers.
The Bible says, $50 to the ant
thou sluggard." Did you ever
see an ant loafing around? The
little fellows are busy storing up
for the winter. Around the bee
hives there is no use for the
drones. An old adage says "an
idle brain is the DEVILS work
shop" The man who does moth
ing is tearing down, he is not
building up for his country or
his people. The people who
work will do something. No va
grant ever did anything There
is no room tor the vagrant or for
the fellow who wears high
standing collar and is fed by
somebody else. The women
should not harbor vagabonds.
Let these fellows 60 out and
work and bring in something fo1
the support OF the families"
The most distinguished color
ed speaker was Booker r. Wash.
ington, president of Tuskegee
Institute. He said in part: 81
was born here in the South, my
early boyhood was spent in sla
very here in the South and there
is no spot on earth so dear to
me as the soil Of our Southern
States, where we of both races
for so many years have lived anc
toiled."
One Of the ablest addresses
was made by Mr.. w. Il. Coma.
les. editor of The State, who EN-
phasized the necessity for the
observance of law by both races
which he said was the surest gu
arantee Of harmony in the South
