Two arrests were made with prosecu-
tons in each instance Six teams

or six teams were stabbed when left
standing exposed for an unnecessary
length of time Two horses were
taken away from their owners in
cases of unusually fragrant abuse and
one animal that had broken its leg by
falling on the icy pavement was or
dered shot. Most notable of all, how
ever. is the movement that has been
successfully inaugurated to secure the
blanketing of all horses left tied in the
streets during cold weather Team

practice results in the long run in

Brief mention was made in
our last issue of Senator Till
mans able and comprehen sive
speech before the state legisla-
ture IN Columbia Thursday night
In view of the Importance of his
subject, the immi migration ques-
ton in it's relation to the race
problem, and the clear and lucid
manner in which ii was handled
we deem it proper to give more
extended notice of what the Sem
ator said-henco the publication
elsewhere of a part of the press
reports OF the address. 1t will be
seen that MIR. Tillman takes high
and patriotic ground, regardless
of what effect the expression of
his views may have on his polit-
ical fortunes. Some politician S
handle the immigration question
very delicately and evasively, if
they handle it at all, but not so
with Ti!lman. He comes out
boldly and declares that if white
supremacy is to be maintained
in this state it must be done
by increasing The white popula
ton, and that the way to bring
about that increase is by the IN
PRODUCTION of white im migran is
Of the right kind, of course. The
senior Senator is right, and time
will no doubt prove the wisdom
of his position.

New York's Big Snow Storm
Much Suffering Among
the Poor.

New York Jan. 25.--New York
today is in the throes OF the worst
blizzard it has experienced in
years.
Traffic was tied up during the
rush hours by the heavy snow
fall of twelve inches.
The suffering on the East Side
is intense. Thousands of families
are without coal or the means of
getting it. Wagons were unable
to make deliveries.
The continuous fall of snow
for ~ hours drove 1000 poor
people to the city shelters.
The home of The city poor was
overhowed, the recreation place
at the foot of East Twenty-sixth
street being turned into an emer-
gency place Of refuge and other
charitable institutions, and station
houses are crowded.
1t was stated at a chari able
institution that an army of un
employed of nearly 100000 is in
the city and the storm will bring
additional ha rdships on them.

Old Mr.. Patrick said once that

Old Mr.. Patrick said once that
the objection he had to North
Caro- lima was he couldn't tell a
republican from white man.
The objection, we have to Union
is you can't always tell white
man from a negro, that is not
by the color.--Union Times.
That is certainly "handint. a
lemon" to the Union white man.
Is it possible that he is so black
that you can not tell him from a
negro, or is the Union negro so
white that he can not be distin-
guished from his white neighbor?
Our esteemed contemporaries re
markable statement recalls to
miud the fact that number Of
years ago a colored preacher OF
Lancaster moved to Union coun-
ty, where he "passed off" as a
white man all right. The impo
sitiou was finally exposed by
lady Of Lancaster while on visit
TO Union.

A leading Georgia paper says
that prob bition is not prohibit

ment does not accord with con-
ditions as published in its own
news columns. For instance, it
is stated that for the first time in

fact the police attribute to the
state prohibition law that went
