Havana, June 8: The intensity Of
the racial antagonism Is hourly In
creasing in Havana and there is Sc
rious apprehension of an outbreak at
any moment. The whites are fearful
Of a sudden nocturnal rising Of the
blacks and, at the same time, are show
ing a strong disposition to precipitate
an open race war by planning an at
tack on the negroes. Blacks and whites
alike are armed. A movement was dis
covered tonight on the part of many
young white men to drive all negroes
from San Rafael street, an important
thoroughfare. Strong police patrols
frustrated the plans. The same ele-
ment announces its intention to break
up the regular Sunday night concert in
Central park attended almost exclu-
sively by the better class Of negroes to
whom 1t Is an important social func-
ton. Beginning tonight all the police
of Havana are armed with long new
machetes. discarding their clubs. Race
rioting among the longshoresmen,
which began last night was resumed
this afternoon. One negro was killed.
The police finally restored order.

If Tom Watson is guilty Of sending
obscene matter through the mails he
should be punished; but from what we
have seen about the case the charges
against the editor of the Jeffersonian
are absurd. Watson has been attack
ing the Roman Catholic church. What
he has been doing it for is none of our
business, and we do not care. But In
his attacks, as we understand 1t. he has
reproduced "in Latin" certain quota
tions that priests ask female penitents
at confessional. The reproduction OF
these quotations are held to be OBJ
scene. Watson has claimed that there
was no obscenity in his motive; but
the district attorney holds that this has
nothing to do with the matter. That Is
where we cannot agree. There is moth
ing obscene in the Holy Bible-not ir
a criminal sense. But the man Of low
motives who revels in obscenity, car
find obscenity there without limit. Ro-
man Catholics, we believe object tc
the too public use Of the Bible but nc
one else does.

Some of the Contests.

The senate will vote on the ques-
tion Of unseating Senator Lorimer OF
Illinois July 6. This date was agreed
upon at a conference last Saturday
afternoon, at which the views of both
the pro-Lorimer and antiLorimeI
senators were voiced. The agreement
however, was with the understanding
that in the event of the adjournment
of congress earlier than July 6 the
voting time would be advanced. sc
that the case would be finally disposed
of at this session. The arrangement OF
a final disposition of the greatest
election contest in the history Of con-
gress was made suddenly as the result
of the activity of Senator Lea. He fav-
ored July /. There were hurried con-
ferences among the senate leaders and
brief meetings of the majority and
minority of. the investigating COM
mittee at which Monday, July 1. was
agreed upon. This was changed to the
Legislative day" Of July 6, at the in
sistence of Senator Curtis of Kansas
who has to leave Washington at that
time. Senator Lorimer was consulted
and agreed to the action taken. He
will defer his speech until the last OPP
portunity to make it before the vote
is taken.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

There is renewed agitation of the
question of concreting the Liberty
street sidewalks from Congress street
to the two depots.
The recently elected town council
was inducted into Office last Friday;
but no business was transacted, the
new members especially desiring time
for a little consideration before under
taking to embark upon line Of policy
The local determination to have an
effective board Of trade Is evidenced In
the increased activity Of the board OF
directors as recently re-organized. The
town Is being canvassed for addition
al members and there is talk of renting
rooms in the McNeel building for q
permanent home. The proposition
seems to be meeting with pretty gen.
eral favor.

The Cuban problem was thrust
upon the senate last Saturday when
measures were introduced and referred
to the committee on foreign relations,
one directing that committee to inves-

military operations in "any foreign
nation" except under express direction
Of congress and another to ascertain

by Senator Bacon Of Georgia, and that

Senator Nelson Of Minnesota. The

will consider these matters next We'd

BACK FROM THE WEST.

Mr.. ]. Leslie McGill, Of Bethany, re-
turned last Thursday from a three
weeks trip to Texas. where he went
with the Eastern ad men, in their re-
cent big swing around the circle.
While of course he did his full part
in advertising old York county and
South Carolina generally whenever op-
portunity offered, his main purpose In
taking the trip was to visit relatives
and friends and see the country.
Among the Texas towns visited were
Dallas, Fort Worth, and Garland, par
ticularly Dallas, the home Of his uncle,
Mr.. John McGill, whom he brought
back home with him.
Mr.. McGill crossed the Mississippi
river at Memphis, both going and COM
ing. AS he went out the river was for
ty miles wide and when he came back
it was within its banks again for the
first time in a little over two months.
He says that the conditions he wit
messed in Memphis on the outward trip
were most distressing. He remained in
the city more than a day, and one of
the sights was thousands of refugee
negroes who had been driven in from
the river bottoms and who were being
sheltered and fed in temporary quar-
ters on the fair grounds. He saw nun
pigs. etc, being taken care Of in the
upper front pOrches of houses, and in
some instances the animals were on
RATS that had been enclosed with pick
cts. Although the people were feeding
the animals as best they could to
keep them alive, most of them were
quite thin. On the return trip, the wa
ters had subsided and farmers were
planting as fast as possible. following
close up to the water as 1t flowed back
toward the river. 1t seems that be-
cause of the richness of the soil out
that way there is no harm I'm planting
wet.
The Texas cotton crop Is about two
weeks late; but generally it is very
good.
Mr. John M. McGill who first went to
Texas about 1860 by the wagon train
route, and who last returned to this
country about fifteen years ago, is very

Hickory Grove Bond Election.

The BIaeksburg Fire.
From additional information The
Enquirer has picked up during the past
few days, it Is fair to say that the first
advanced theory that the origin Of the
Blacksburg fire Is traceable to the work
of negroes who sought to even up for
the recent lynching, Is not as we'll
founded as another theory that takes
the matter up along more tangible
lines. The other theory is based upon
the idea Of incendiarism, but the mo-
tive is considerably more practical than
revenge Facts and circumstances are
being talked in connection with the
matter, but the case is not in shape to
warrant the publication of names.

1t is being talked now that Maj
Hemphilrs resignation from the edi-
torship of the Charlotte Observer came
about as the result of his connection
with the Harvey Wilson matter
When the big interests that were try
ing to groom Woodrow Wilson
through Mr.. Harvey began to realize
that Wilson was not their kind. they
decided that it was desirable to try to
undo what they had done for Wilson'S
political benefit. That Harper's Week
ly, Harvey's paper, was not the place
for operations, was clear for obvious
reasons, so after considering the whole
situation it was decided that the Char
lotte Observer would suit the purpose
in hand better. AS to how the Observer
backed up the efforts of Mr.. Watterson
and others in the plan to put Govern
or Wilson out of the running is fresh
in the recollection of the readers of
that paper.

were written. Mr.. Watson also refer

but the district attorney said that any
one can get a copyright for anything
by establishing the fact that he is. the
author. Mr.. Akerman contended that
the United States supreme court deci-

motives in sending obscene matter. but
that anything which tends to deprave
is considered obscene by the courts.

credit Of the South Carolina press that

from Rock Hill concerning the alleged

a great pity that such matter should be
sent out Of Rock Hill. It does this city

Says a Hendersonville, n. c., dis
patch of last Thursday:

patch of last Thursday:
w. A. Smith, counsel for the defense
in the Hawkins case, wept during his
argument here today. and stated that
not for righteousness sake, but to
satisfy the clamOr of the public for
innocent blood" his clients had been
placed on trial. He strongly denounced
the press for the publicity given to the
case, the parents of the dead girl for
the reward offered and the state for
supplementing that reward, and the Of
ficers and counsel for the state for
their prosecution. Attorney ]. F. Spain
hour spoke for the state, gently derid-
ing the attitude of Mr. Smith.
Now is it not all too bad that the
public should be clamoring for inno-
cent blood? 1t is enough to make any
body weep. And the horrible news
papers. the dead girls parents and the
state of North Carolina, why should
they not have left this murder alone
neatly covered up as they found it?
There is no use meddling with such
things, and except on account of the
newspapers seeking to satiate a blood
thirsty public there would be 40 fuss
about such purely private matters
