SENATOR TILLMAN's ADDRESS.

Compulsory Education law Opposed
In Remarks Before, the State
Teachers.
Columbia, Jan. 2.-Senator Tillman
last night delivered an address before
the State Teachers association. in
which he opposed the passage Of a
compulsory. education law. Senator
Tillman held that the passage of this
law would give the negro the same
chance for an education as the white
people and therefore. although he be-
lieved In education. he felt that the
situation confronting the people Of
the South was such that such a law
should not be passed on account Of
the danger to the white people.
Passing on to the address by Mr..
Taft In which the president-elect stat
ed that he would break the solid
South, the senator dwelt on this as
the promise Of negro equality and
the threat that with federal offices he
would buy off the influence and opin-
lon and principle OF the South and
thus create a Republican party.
The address was listened to with
closest attention and at times ap-
plauded.
