eve must either reform the primary
system by law or see it die" warns
Senator Benjamin Ran Tillman, in an
open letter to the South Carolina
General Assembly, soon to meet, in
which it is urged that Legislation be
enacted to safeguard the primary
system of election in this State. eff
we do not safeguard the primary sys-
tenn" writes Senator Tillman, "and
make it above suspicion, good govern
ment in the State is doomed" The
senior Senator again warns the peo-
pie against the negro being used in
politics under white leadership; if the
black population be thus mobilized,
he thinks, offices of trust and power
will become mere "pawns in the game
of politics to be bought by the high
est bidders"
Following is the statement:

White Supremacy Endangered.
"The angry passions aroused last

and the people have cooled off. To

white supremacy and Democratic uni

Two White Parties Impossible.
"There are many people in South
Carolina who would be glad to see
two white parties in the State. Were
conditions different l myself would
like to have two white parties, but
as things are now it would mean the
mobilization of the negro and his
active and aggressive return to State
politics under white leadership.
A Dire Calamity.
~ know of no calamity greater
than this that could overtake our peo-
pie. I speak advisedly, for 1 went
through the reconstruction period and
know the degradation to which our
people sank, the rottenness and cor
ruption that were in our politics, and
made our Government by-word and
a kissing, and l know how hard it
was to get the white men to lineup
shoulder to shoulder and throw off
the yoke. From 1868 to 1876 we had

FOOTBALL DATES
Hard Schedule Arranged for
Sawbones During Coming
Gridiron Season.
BEGIN PRACTICE WEDNESDAY
University of Mississippi Will
Play Here on Oc-
tober Is.

The Medical College of Virginia has
completed its football schedule for the
season. and q number of classy games
have been arranged.
Three new teams appear on the
Hedicos' schedule for next season
University OF North Carolina, George
town and the University of Mississippi
Tho latter game will DO staged In
Richmond October 10, and will probably
prove one OF the best games of the
local season. as the Mississippians have
heretofore been In the front rank OF
Southern football elevens.
In analyzing the schedule 1t will be
seen that tho "sawbones" have prob
ably the toughest proposition of any
OF the Southern colleges Indeed. they
VIII have to go como to got an even
break on the seasons results, unless.
perchance they are able to put out
TWO really classy teams. a Southern
team that tackles A. & NJ. of North
Carolina; University of Mississippi and
Georgetown within q week, as they pro-
pose doing. must have a wealth Of ma
terial to choose from IL IL hopes TO got
away with the games. With the con-
5oiidated student bodies of the two local
medical schools, however, the Medicos
certainly look good from this distance
against most any OF the teams In this
section.
Expect New Material.
The management has received letters
from number'of football stars In other
colleges stating that they will matricu-
late at the Greater Richmond Medical
school, and the scrap for the positions
on the team promises to be lively
one. The entire squad will report for
practice on Wednesday.
The schedule:
September 2T-washington and Lee

lima. at Chapel Hill. n: C.

lege. at Ashland. Va.

The game with the University of
Mississippi. which will be staged at
Broad Street Park. promises to be one
of the ciassicst OF the local season, for
ole Miss produces about the best
football team of any OF the Southern
colleges, and this trip to Virginia is
to determine Just who is who on the
Southern gridirons.

tersburg took both games from Nor
folk this afternoon. and the $500 fans

both games were as fine exhibitions of

Tor the visitors. and both pitched mas
terly ball Hedgepeth was hit for one
double and three singles. and Shenn
Tor two two-baggers and two singlcs
In only one inning did Hedgepeth
allow two hits and that was in the
fourth when ktrcher singled, took sec
ond on Schraders sacrifice and came
across the plate on Vandine's single.
II was DR.. Hedgepeths last appearance

alone Is due the winning of the last
game. as he got two -baggers, one
In tho fifth inning. after Simmons had
singled and brought in the first run,
and one In the eighth, after Simmons
had again singled. He again knocked
the ball 20 the right field fence, scoring
him for the second time and winning
the game.

bic plays in this game, pulling off six,
