SAYS SEPERATE RACES
SENATOR TILLMAN ADVOCATES
SUCH A COURSE.
The Senator Tells Wry There Are So
Many Negroes and So Few Whites
EmDIoyed.


A question which is more or less
agitated in Washington right now is
the segregation of the races in the
Government departments. This plan
is favored by senator Tiilman Of
South Carolina and Senator Vardman
of Mississippi. In discussing this
question Senator Ti1lman was asked
why there were more colored persons
in the Civil Service than whites from
the South. It is said that there are
$4,000 negroes in the service.
Senator Tillman answered the gu
estion with characteristic frankness.
II think it is due to the unwillingness
Of the white women and white men
of the South to go to school as it
were, alongside Of negroes" he said.
''The white people of the South are
not much in love with the equality
implied by the Civil Service examina-
tions. They therefore, neglect to take
the examinations and get on the eligi
Bile list These lists are humbugs,
of course as we all know because the
certification of the three names at
the top from which the appointing
officer must choose and failing to
find the proper material for the clerk
in the first three can call for another.
If President Wilson," continued Sen
ator Tillman, "and the Cabinet off,
GERS under him use the proper correc-
tive, and it need not be drastic or
revolutionary, should think in three
or four years we would have very
radical change in conditions in the
civil service in Washington"
Whether the civil service reforms
advocated will be carried out or not,
it is a fact that some of the cabinet
officers and their assistants are seek
ing to separate the negroes and
whites in the service as much as pos
sible. John Shelton Williams of Wiz
ginia, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, in paying visit to the
Bureau OF Printing and Engraving a
short while ago found the white and
negro employees eating lunch togeth-
er. He ordered it stopped at once
and insisted that separate places be
provided. He said that it. might be
necessary for them to work together
but it was not necessary for them to
eat together.

STEAMER HITS. ICEBERG.
Was Going Slow and Was Damaged
but Very Little.

The fate Of the Titanic was narrow
~ escaped by the steamer Chiltern
Range in a collision with an iceberg
to the east of Newfoundland Banks,
on her voyage from Hull to Montreal,
where she arrived Monday. The bow
plates of the steamer, a British
freighter, were badly dented. The
berg was struck in latitude 46.39
north, and longtitute 44.40 west, in
the track Of the ocean liners, but
some distance to the north and east
Of the spot where the Titanic met
her fate. After the collision the
steamer was surrounded by icebergs,
which, although they could not be
seen because of the fog, evidenced
their presence by the echoes that re-
sounded from their towering sides at
every blast from the steamers whis-
tie.

OPEN TO ALL NATIONS
ALL WIZ BE INVITED TO TAKE
f.iET IN MEET.

countries OF HOrlQ InV1CeO 10 Jolu
English People in Commemorating
One Hundred Years of Harmony.
The nations of the world are urg-
ed to join the United States, Great
Britain, Canada, Newfoundland and
Australia and the municipality of
Client, in making the celebration of
one hundred years of peace among
English-speaking peoples signalize a
new era of international good will.
The invitation was issued Monday by
the international conferees now in
this country arranging the celebra-
ton. The American secretary of state
and the British secretary of state for
foreign affairs are asked to transmit
the invitation to other governments.
The manifesto adopted by the con-
ferees says:
Representatives of Great Britain,
Of Newfoundland, Of the United
States, of the Dominion of Canada,
of the commonwealth of Australia,
and Of the municipality Of Client,
having been in conference concerning
an appropriate celebration Of the CEN
tenary of the signing of the treaty Of
Ghent, which marked the end Of the
last international war between the
British and American peoples, unite
in Offering to the governments and
the peoples of the civilized world an
earnest invitation to take part in
making this celebration in every way
| worthy Of the one hundred years of
peace that it commentaries.
1--WE invite such cooperation to
the end that it may be made clearly
| unmistakible to public opinion every
where that the time has come when
international rivalries and differ
ences, though numerous and severe,
may be settled without the carnage
| and horrors of war. Although it be
/ unreasonable to disregard the posi-
biiity of conflict arising in the fu-
ture, out Of mutual or partial misun-
| derstanding, yet we gratefully recog-
nize that the chances of misunder-
standing have been largely eliminat-
ed by the degree in which modern
science has facilitated intercourse
and accelerated communication.
"Great Britain has been a colon
izing nation and the United States
has drawn to its population various
and powerful elements from different
countries and from different flags.
Therefore, a century Of peace be-
tween Great Britain and her domin-
ions beyond the seas, on the one
hand, and the United States, on the
other hand, touches directly both the
interests and the Imagination of ev-
cry land to which Great Britain s
sons have gone, as well as those OF
every nation from which the present
day. population Of the United States
| have been drawn.
eve respectfully request his maj
esty's secretary of state for foreign
affairs and the secretary of state of
the United States to transmit this in
vitation through the proper official
channels to the governments of the
world in order that both by the par
ticipation of governments and by the
cooperation of men of good will in
every land this celebration may be so
| carried out as to mark not merely
the close of the one hundred years of
peace between English-speaking peo-
pies, but the opening Of what we sin
cerely trust will be a fresh era of
peace and good will between all the
nations of the world"

YEGGMAN AT FORT MOTTE.
Tried to Enter Post Office But Was
FrightenedAWa -.--

The State says a fourth visit of
yeggmen has been reported. An at
tempt was made early Sunday morn
ing, Just three hours before the King
Vile robbery, to enter the post office
at Fort Motto.
A stranger appeared at Fort Motto
Saturday. He represented himself to
Town Marshall Furtick to be a de-
tective of the United States post Of
fee department, and inquired as to
whether or not the marshal would
care to do some sleuth work for that
department. The stranger wanted to
know, too, whether the marshal
would be on duty Saturday night.
The questions aroused suspicion.
Saturday night Marshal Furtick
took position on perch in view Of
the post office and waited. About 1
o'clock Sunday morning he saw q
man appear at the post Office, feeling
his way about with fashlight. 1t
was too dark for TowL Marshall Fur
tick to distinguish any one.
Coming off his perch in order to
get nearer view of the mysterious
marty. Furtick stumbled and the noise
that he made was heard by the man
at the post Office. Furtick fred as
the man sorinted toward the river in
the direction of Kingville. The pur-
suit continued for some distance with
Furtick firing as he ran, until the
party with the fashlight disappeared
in the darkness. Whether it was his
detective friend or not Furtick never
found out.
Sheriff Hill at St. Matthews was
communicated with and asked to
bring his bloodhouDds to the scene,
hut the sheriff said that as every
thing was extremely dry the dogs
would not work. At o'clock Sunday
morning the post ofce at Kineville
was robbed by two voggs, making
the fourth Job in as many DAYS. AS
vet no arrests have been made.

PUPILS FLEE PANIC-STRICKEN.
Leave School Building When Light
ming Strikes Oil Tank.

At New Orleans several hundred
panic-stricken school children fed
from the Asheville' School building
in a binding rain storm, when light
ming struck an oil tax belonging to
the Texas Oil Company and set fire to
the more than two million gallons of
crude oil which it contained. There
was no explosion, but the flames
burst forth in an instant and enor-
nous volumes Of black smoke as
cerded to height of more than a
thousand feet. A half dozen other
large tanks nearby we're endangered
by the heat.

PUTS one TO SLEEP
new INVENTION that MAY end
MURDER PAIN
PUTS AN end TO AGONY
Soldier, After Being Shot, Will Take
a Nap-Big Game Can be Obtained
Humanely and Fleeing Burglars
Sent to the Land of Nod Until the


Police Arrive.
The painless blowing off of ones
arms during war time, the humane
shooting of wild game on hunting ex-
petitions, and the simple operation Of
firing the specially prepared bullet
into the heel Of a fleeing burglar to
have his run a few yards farther and
then go Off into peaceful slumber, is
what Pittsburg scientist hopes for
a medically treated bullet with which
he is experimenting, says the Wash
ington Post.
He hopes to have the United States
Government adopt the bullet for
army use. He is trying to get the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals to recognize it's merits,
and then induce sportsmen to adopt
it. He later will give the police
chiefs of the country few boxes to
experiment with.
The new compound, "the narcotic
bullet" is the invention of Alexander
F. Humphrey. Experiments are being
conducted by committee Of army
officers, police officials, and sports
men. It is considered alike humane
in warfare and deadly in hunting big
game. In self-defence it provides the
poor marksman with all the advan-
tages Of an unerring aim.
In his sleep-producing missile
Humphrey uses minute particle Of
morphia. The drug is carried in tiny
wells in the steel jacket Of the regu-
lation army bullet.
Humphrey claims that it in no
wise interferes with the effectiveness
of the missile. The slight indenta-
tion in the steel jacket, he says,
causes no splintering when it comes
in contact with the bone. The wound
Of the narcotic bullet, according to
his theory, does not differ from that
caused By the regulation bullets now
used in the approved army cartridges.
No deleterious effects will follow the
unique administration Of the drug.
The soldier, receiving slight flesh
wound from the new bullet, fights no
more that day; he calmly stretches
himself on the ground and goes to
sleep.
The man receiving serious wound
suffers no agony, as the narcotic
from the bullet is absorbed by his
system and he is insensible to pain
before he reaches the hospital.
The man whose wound is mortal
sleeps away his last hours, thus do
ing away with most Of the battle field
horror. The fleeing burglar is shot
in the arm, runs forward a short dis
tance, stretches himself on the side
walk, and all the policeman has to do
is to summon an ambulance and haul
him away: The big game hunters,
Humphrey says, will feel no fear of
counter-stroke from a. wounded
tiger, lion, or grizzly bear. Although
the bullet may make but slight
wound, the game is as good as bag
ged once it is struck.

Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and
my wife has given her notice; but
there again I fail to see how you
work it out"
He chuckled to himself and rubbed
his long nervous hands tagether.
"It is simplicity ITSELF" said he;
'tmy eyes tell me that on the inside
of your left shoe, just where the FIRE
light strikes it, the leather is scored
by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously
they have been caused by someone
who has very carelessly scraped

to remove rusted mud from it.
Hence, you see, my double deduction
that you had been out in vile wealth

malignant boot-slicking specimen of
the London slavey. AS to your prac-
tice, if a gentleman walks into my
rooms, smelling of iodoforn, with a
black mark of nitrate of silver upon
his right finger, and bulge on the
side of his tophat to show where he
has secreted his stethoscope, ] must
be dull indeed if I do not pronounce
him to be an active member of the
medical profession.

ease with which he explained his pro-
cess of deduction. when I hear you
give your reason" I remarked, "the
thing always appears to me so ridicu-
lousy simple that could esaily do
it myself, though at each successive
instance Of your reasoning am baf-
fed, until you explain your process.
And yet, I believe that my eyes are
as good as yours"
"Quite so,'' he answered, lighting
cigarette. and throwing himself
down into an armchair. You see.
