Mr.. Lilies wanted South Carolinians
to teach the negro what to do and
think. He was really fearful Of what
would be the result at Clamn if all
the white teachers were run of. The
institution could not be wiped out, as
Mr.. Stanley suggested.
Mr.. Fortncr said he did not intro
ducc the bill for political purposes, but
he did SO because he thought the pco-
pie wanted it. He had no reflection to
make OH white teachers, and did not
know them, but he urged that the habit
was wrong.
Mr.. Stanley wanted to know why Mr
Fortncr did not wish to outlaw col
orcd nurses and favor his amendment
Mr.. Fortncr said Mr.. Stanley opposed
the bill and sought to kill it by amend
ments.
The House refused to entertain Mr.

Regrets the Necessity.

| Mr.. GasQue regretted that it was
not afraid of any political boyle, but
he was opposed to whites teaching ne
groes. II law against misccgenation
was good why not go further and stop
this teaching by whites? He urged that
a Chinaman married white woman
in Charleston. This was the result of
association, but he often heard white
teachers say colored children were
| cute"
Mr.. Nicholson asked Mr.. Gasquc if he
| would favor a law prohibiting white
doctors practicng on colorcd patients
| or white lawyers working for colorcd
clients. Mr. GGsquc said he would not
favor such law, but did not think
this relevant Hc wanted a State wide
law and no exemption for Charleston
Mr.. Donald Mcqueen, Of Marlboro,
said the negro race was unwillngly
brought here and whatever advance
the negro had made was by contact
with the Caucasian race. He asked
why the churches were trying to teach
the colored people. He was bitterly
opposed to race equality and had no
fear on this linc but as an older man
begged the members to go slow in do
ing an injustice to dependent and
helpless race. He said If the negro
were set aside and removed from the
influence Of the whites that the negro
would go back to savagery.
Barnwell Voices Opposition.
Mr.. Cecil G.. Wyche moved the pre-
Yious question, but withdrew it for Mr..
Barnwell, of Charleston, who made an
eloquent and forccful argument against
the bill. He wished to clearly present
the injustice about to be done. His
people were united absolutely on white
supremacy and so, too, 1t was united
in opposition to this bill and that the
present system in Charleston is right

FIRE IN WATER.
Newest Idea For Making steam and
WASTING No Heat,

Newest Idea For Making Steam and
Wasting No Heat.
Fire in the middle Of tank of wa.
ter instead Of under boiler is a new
scheme In making steam for an engine.
The idea Is to save heat ordinarily
wasted. for, with the fire In the mid.
die Of the water, every bit Of the heat
must work to heat the water, as there
are no side paths by which it can es.
cape.
Keeping fire blazing when practi-
cally surrounded by water is a prob
lem that has been successfully solved.
Gas or oil properly mixed with air
feeds the fire. To start the flame the
tank is first emptied and the vapor
fuel forced in through pipe that ends
In nozzle pointed downward. The
vapor Is lighted, making a roaring
torch flame shooting downward in the
middle Of the tank. Then the tank is
partly filed with water until the sur.
face Of the water is well above the
nozzle. entirely covering the flame.
The vapor fuel, Of course, must be
forced In at some pressure in order
to prevent the water from putting the
fire out. The water Is soon boiling
violently. making steam for running
the engine. The steam, mixed with
gas from the burning fuel, is led into
separate tank, which is a sort of
storage bin for. the steam.-Saturday
