fore. out of the $500, 100000 pro-
duced by the cotton growers of the
South. practically 100000, 600 of it
goes into the Golfers Of the protected
interests.
Mr.. Smith said it was not only
true that the Southern cotton farmer
had TO pay about Sc ton more to
produce his cotton for fertilizer in
order to Gre little additional profit
to an already prosperous protected
industry, but he must also pay a duty
on his bagging and ties in order to
build up bagging industry on
American soil, where no raw jutc
material was produced. and on the
other hand to add to he profits on
the great Steel Trust.
Mr. Smith cited the fact that the
recent election of L. W. Parker. OF
Greenville, S. c., at Richmond lasf
week to be the head OF the Manufac-
tective platform FOR manufactured
| goods. over D. H. Thompkins for Il
dn'y. was the best possible evidence
that the cotton manufacturorS Of the
country wanted no such dn,y on their
goods.
When Mr.. Smith concluded his
speech he received the congratula-
tinns Of practically all Of the Demo-
! cratic members Of the Seaate. who
assured him that what b" said was
not only very interesting, but would
be of great benefit to the tariff Ques-
ton generally. Several Republican
Senators also came across the cham
ber and congratulated Senator Smith,
among whom were Beveridge, Nelson
and LaFollette.

DOWN ON THE DOGS.

Prompt Action.

A dispatch from GreenVille says
the unfortunate accident in which
the child of Mr.. Galloway was Bit
ten by a dog supposed to have been
affected with hydrophobia will cause
the city authorities to take some
action Immediately, requiring that
all persons owning dogs in the city
of Greenville either confine them at
home or muzZle them securely in or
der to prevent recurrence of this
unfortunate affair in Greenville.
while it is very nice thing to have
pet dogs" a citizen said to a repre-
sentative of The News and Courier,
lit must be remembereG that the life
of one child is worth more than eV-
cry dog in eXistance, and besides, the
terrible anxiety Of parents in cases
of this kind, the expense entailed in
fighting against that dreaded dis
ease is OF small consideration, and
there is no use to take the chance
when it can be avoided by little
forethought on the part of our city
authorities.

VICTIM OF MAD DOG
After Living Over One Month After
Being Bitten by the Flee He Sue
cumbed to the Dread Disease and
Dies of Hydrophobia Ut the CO.
lumbia Hospital.

The death of another victim fronl'
the bite of mad dog must be added
TO the hundreds that have occurred
in the past. The Columbia State
says:
The tragic death of John T. Nc
Grady at the Columbia hospital Tues
day as a result of the bite of dos
afflicted with the rabies brought sad
ness to the comrades of onea of the
gallant wearers Of the gray who,
trusting in his little puppy supposed
to be mad, attempted to give treat
ment to the animal and was bitten.
Mr.. McGrady, who livedain the
upper part of Richland county, was
bitten by his pet dog on April 2S
and the disease did not develop until
May 81, month later.
At that time Mr.. McGrady showed
all of the symptoms of suffering and
but few days previously he had
been treated with the "Koon cure,
maidstone remedy. which it was
claimed would cure any case Of
rabies.
Sunday night Mr.. McGrady at
tempted to kill himself by cutting
his throat but his relatives inter-
fered and the unfortunate man was
brought to the hospital few days
ago.
Dr. w. A. Boyd, who, was sum-
moned realized that the case was
desperate one and gave him every
possible relief but the victim died
Tuesday, after several hours Of suf-

CAN'T AGREE
AND WILL ARBITRATE THEIR
DIFFERENCES.
The Georgia Railroad and the White
Firemen Will Soon Settle Their
Trouble.

Trouble.
Unable to agree on terms of
settlement, says dispatch from At
lanta, the officials of the Georgia
Railroad and of the Brotherhood of
Fremen have invoked arbitration
under the Erdman law. 1t was near
ly o'clock Monday night when
Commissioner of Labor Neill and
Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate
commerce commission, reluctantly
gave up the battle to bring the war
ring elements itogether.
Commissioner Neill notified both
parties to the dispute to select an
arbitrator within five. days. These

, two arbtrators be unable 10 agree
upon the third member of the COM
mission, he will be named by Knapp
/ and Neill The decision of the arbi-
traitors is made binding upon both
parties by law.
AS expected the disagreement
came over the retention OF negroes.
The iiremen first demanded the dis
missal Of all negroes. This was re-
fused fatty by the railroad. After
considerable labor on the part Of
Messrs. Neill and Knapp, the fire.
men submitted another proposition.
They agreed that those negroes now
employed or who Were employed pri-
or to April 10, should be retained
on their present footing. Recent
promotions Of negroes had been can
celled before the, men returned to
work
They demanded that all white fire.
men should have seniority over all
negroes. That is, if white fireman
was employed today, he would rank
ahead Of all negroes no matter how
long they were in the service, wheh
it came to promotion to better runs.
In addition, they asked that at no
time should the total number of ne
groes employed exceed 20 per cent
of the white firemen on the compa-
ny's payroll. If at any time the
number Of negro employees dropped
below 25 per cent no more were to
be employed. 1t is said that the
Georgia Railroad might have con-
sented to this were it not for the op-
| position Of the terminal company.
| When it was seen that agreement
was impossible the Federal officials
gave up the fight and ordered that
the dispute go to arbitration. When
the men returned to work Saturday
afternoon the road agreed that the
status of April should be restored.
1t was upon that date that the
trouble began. The company had
then promoted several negroes to
good runs and removed white fire.
men to make room for them. AL
ready the company has restored tIe
white tiremen to the runs they held
on April 10. All other disputed
points and demands were conceded

Tie white tiremcn claim that ne
gro firemen are not held to a strict
enforcement Of the rules as are the
the whites, and they intimate that
to discharge whites at every oppor-
tunity and replace them with blacks,
wlo get less wages. General Man
ager Scott denies this and declares
his willingness to agree to strict
enforcement of all rules against the
negroes.

til she died from the treatment.
Another daughter of Woods tcsti-
fed that he had beaten the dead wo-

that she fell out Of the door and
killed herself.
The jury rendered verdict to the
effect that the deceased came to her
death at the hands Of her father.
