that no one about the capitol can recall
the incident. The discussion which oc-
Cured when an effort was made to

that congress feels like taking ample

PROMINENT COLORED LECTURER
Rev. Richard Carroll Addressed Large
Audience at Oncrn House

ltoV. flchafd Carroll Addressed Large
Audience at Opera House.
Rev. Richard Carroll, probably the
most widely known negro lecturer
and preacher in South Carolina, lee
tured at 'Pitchford's Hall, in Wal
halla, Monday night and was heard
by large audience, about equally
divided between white and colored
people. Arrangements had been
made for division Of seats in the audi
torium, the two races being in diff
ferent parts Of the house.
Carroll is an intelligent negro and
gives good advice to his race at all
times. Well educated. he seems to
have imbibed the real truths that an
education. should impart. There is
nothing obnoxious or obtrusive
about him. He knows his place and
Keeps it-and that is the keynote Of
his advice to the colored race.
A Courier representative inquired
OF Carroll If Benedict College (from
which he was graduated) is doing a
good work "Yes," was the prompt
reply, but 1T Is giving too much, at
tention here (pointing to his head)
and not enough here Indicating his
hands.)
Carroll came to Walhalla to speak
to the negroes at the land sale YES
terday, and he did so, giving good
advice and urging industry, honesty,
self-respect and full respect to the
white race.
He Is really an interesting talker.
During the Spanish-American war
he was In service in Cuba as chan
lain OF the Tenth Regiment, u. s,
Infantry, which saw active service at
San Juan Hill. He was apDointcd
under the recommendation of Sena-
tor B. r. Tillman, and drew $4,000
for his services during the time he
was on duty, about year.
Carroll was lionized by the mem
bers OF his race while in Walhalla
and his visit will have good effect
on his people if tho future can he
Judged by tho evidences of good Or
der and proper carriage during his
stay.
Carroll Is a noted lecturer, and
has visited many Of the States OF the
United States. He says he will re-
turn to Walhalla at an early date
and give one Of his lectures. Due
notice Of same will be given.
