?""The bravest are thc.tehderest,
; The loving arefthe daring."
? am dying; ?3 she coming? Throw I he
window open wide.
Is she coming? Oh; 1 love her more
than all the world beside;
In her young and tender beauty, must,
^ oh! must she feel this loss?
Saviour; hear my poor petition; teach
i her how to hear this cross..
Help lier to be calm and patient when
, I moulder in the dust:
Let her say and feel, my Father, that
Thy way are true and just.
Is she coining? Go and listen; I would
seo her face once more;
I would hear her speaking to me, ere
life's fevered dream is o'er;
I would fold her to my bosom; look
into her soft bright eye;
I woidd toll lier how I love her, kiss
her once before I die.
Isshe coining? Oil! 'tis evening, and
my darling comes not still.
Lift the curtain; it grows darker; it is
sunset on thc hill;
All the evening dews arc falling; i am
cold-thc light is gone.
Is she coming? Softly, softly come
death's silent footsteps on.
I am going; come and kiss me; kiss me
for my darling wife;
Take for her thy parting blessing; take
the last wann kiss of life,
Tell"her 1 will wait"to greet her where
the good and lovely are,
In that home, untouched by sorrow;
tell her she must me there.
Is she coming? Lift thc curtain; let
mc see the falling light;
Chi! 1 want to live to see lier; surely
she will come to-night!
Surely,ere daylight dielh, I shall fold
her to my breast;
With her head upon my bosom, calmly
1 could sink to rest.
If is hard lo die without her. Look!
1 think she's coming now;
I can almost feel her kisses on iny
faded cheek and brow;
1 can almost hear her whisper, feel her
breath upon my cheek.
Hark! I hear the front door open, ls
she coming? Did she speak?
No! Well drop the curtain softly. 1
shall sec her face no more
Till 1 see it smiling on mc on the
bright and better shore.
Tell her she must come and meet me
in that Eden, land of light;
Tell her i'll be waiting for her where
there is no death-no night
Tell her that I called her darling,
blessed her with my dying breath.
Come and kiss me for my Lizzie: tell
her love oublivcth death.
LOVE DEFEATS RED TAPE.
Young Irishman in Danger of D?por
tation Saved 11 y Sweetheart.
Love triumphed over red tape re
cently at the immigrant depot, when
thc Noordland landed her passengers
at the foot of Washington avenue,
says The Philadelphia Public Ledger.
One of the first to leave thc ship was
Peter Docherty, a bright looking
young fellow from Kildare, Ireland.
He was greeted by two pretty girls,
but before they could more than ask
after lils health he was hustled into
the immigrant landing bureau, and
tiley were left crying outside.
When the young man's turn came tu
be examined by Deputy Immigration
Commissioner Hughes, he announced
that he possessed only 85. He told
Commissioner Hughes that he had
come here to marry one of the two
sisters who had come from Elkton,
Md., to meet him.
Thc commissioner pointed out that
after he had paid his fare to Elkton
81.30-he would only have 82.70 and a
gripsack of clothes with which to be
gin housekeeping. This, the oillcial
thought, was hardly a sufficient capi
tal for a start in life, and in conse
quence ordered the newcomer detained
as being "likely to become a public
charg?."
During thc examination thc two
girls managed to gain entrance to the
landing bureau, and when the bride
to-be heard that her lover was to he
returned to Ireland she made her way
forthwith into Commissioner Hughes'
office, accompanied by her sister, both
crying bitterly. Between sobs the
girls pleaded for Peter's release, and
Afr. Hughes finally relented on thc
bride-elect, assuring him that she had
money in the bank and would sec that
her future husband was provided with j
work. The man was, therefore, re
leased, and the trio started for Elk
ton.

TWENTY-THREE PEOPLE KILLED
AH Mn ny Moro Badly Injured; Sonic [
or tho Animals Killed Also,
Hon Hilo Spectacle lu
the Grey Dawn;
Wallace Brother's clrcus was wreck
ed tn the Grand Trunk yards at Der
raud, Mich., Friday morning andi
twenty-three men mostly employees of |
the circus, including a few of thc per
formers, were killed outright. Twenty
more were Injured, some fatally. Thc
show was traveling in two "sections
over the Grand Trunk tracks from
Lansing to Lupe rc, and thc accidet.t
it is said, was caused by thc failure of
thc second section of the train to stop
on time. The two sections were travel
ing near each other, and the second I
ran Into the first at full speed. Tl e
loss to thc circus people will be heavy.
Some of those killed and injured
were railroad people attached to the |
train, including Trainmaster J. Mc
Carthy ol the Grand Trunk. Thc
wreckage of the engine and four cars
was strewn about and piled high,
while the shrieks ot' the injured and
tlie bcllowiug of the "frightened ani
mals could be heard above thc hiss of
escaping steam and the excited shouts
of the rescuers, lt was hours before
the injured were rescued front the
wrecked cars. Slime or them are in
terrible agony and it is feared that
seven more will die.
Thc wreck according to thc state
ment of the engineer of the second
section, was caused by the failure of
the air brakes to work, lt was .'1:45
u'elock when thc hist section pulled
into the west end of the Grand Trunk
yards here. A red light was hung on
the rear car to stop the second sec
tion. lOnginccr l'ropst of Hattie
Creek, who was running the engine of
thc rear train, says he saw the light
and applied Lite air brakes. To his)
borrow they refused to work. Ile re
versed his engine, but the momentum
of the train behind was too great and,
with a crash that aroused all the town
near the yard, thc two trains met.
Three cars ol' the stationary lirstJ
section were telescoped, and the en
gine and live cars of the moving train
were demolised, the rear car of the I
tirst section, thc caboose in which the
trainmen were slcepiug and thc next|
two, tilled with sleeping circus em
ployees. The greatest loss of life was
in tlie caboose. One of the wrecked
cars of the second section was occu
pied by live elephants and several cam
els. One elephant and two camels I
were killed outright, while thc other |
animals and their trainers escaped.
With thc exception of this car, none I
of the menagerie were wrecked, the |
other demolished cars containing can
vas or wagons and there was compara
tively little excitement among the
wild animals. As soon as they recov-1
ered from thc lirst shock the trainers
rushed among the cages, quieting the
few beasts that were excited.
Thc escaping steam and the screams
and cries of those pinned in thc wreck
made a horrifying situation in the
gray of the early morning, when the
trainmen in the yards and the aroused
towns-people lirst reached the scene.
Many (eared at lirst that some of thc
menagerie had escaped as some of tl.e
animals could he heard. All available
drays and wagons in the vicinity were
used for ambulances, and for several
hours after the accident these was ill
steady procession of the extemporized
ambulances from tlie scene of the ac
cident in the railroad yards to the|
Hotel Richelieu. Thc dining room of
thc hotel was used as an operating
room by the surgeons. A score of |
wives and daughters of rescuers vol
unteered as nurses and worked with
the surgeons all thc morning.
More than twenty of the injured
were fastened and pinned down in thc I
wreckage, so that they had to be j
chopped and pried out. It was late in
tlie morning before all had been ex
tricated and removed to the hospital.
All of the animal cars were unloaded,
and the cages removed to neighboring
field, where the animals could get air
and quiet down after tlie excitement.
AN OHIO MOB
After a Black Brute anti Bent on
IjyncliiiiK Him.
St Clairiville, Ohio, a small city in
Belmont county, was thrown into a
panic. Thursday evening when lt be
came known that a terrible outrage
had been prepetratcd on Mrs. M. Iii
Stowe, one of the most prominent, and
highly respected residents of the town
who was criminally assulted hy
young negro lawyer.
Tlie woman had been out for a walk
during the afternoon and remained
later than she had anticipated. About
1) o'clock she started for her home, the
route extending through a lonely tract
of woods. When within 2?? yards ol'
her home, she was seized by tlie negri
and thrown to the grown.
She made a brave hut unsuccessful
struggle for her honor. When tl
woman regained consciousness, her
pitiable scream attracted the alte
tion of passers, who rushed to her
assistance.
Slic was taken to her home where
she told of the brutal outrage,
posse formed of tlie most prominen
citizens Of the county, was organized
and set out in pursuit of the negro
who escaped to tlie weeds. The en
raged mob is fully armed and bent on
lynching the brute when he is
apprehended. Mrs. Stowe.is in a crit
ical condition as the result of her aw
ful experience.
Her assailant is a well-known negro,
C. H. Itu ms, who has been practicing
law In that vicinity. A report receiv
ed late Thursday night states that thc
bloodhounds have scented the trail
and the chase is being pursued witli
renewed vigor.

Thc following l? thc report of the
condition of the drops as Issued hy
Section Director Bauer'
Tho week ending Monday, August
3? had a mean temperature of 82 de
grees, which ls ahout 2 degrees above
normal. Thu early part was exces
sively hot, the latter hud about nor
mal temperatures. Thc winds were
generally light, hut some damage re
sulted from high winds in thc western
counties. The relative humanity was
abnormally low during the lirst half
of tile week, causing vegetation to wilt
during the daytime and even ab night, |
but tlie second half wus more humid.
About normal sunshine prevailed dur
ing the week.
Thc week's rainfall, as reported by
correspondents, was comparatively
light and consisted of widely scattered
local showers, that wero very benefi
cial where they occurred, as raia was
needed over thc whole State, but many
places had none or else insufllcient
amounts. During the last two days
additional rains occurred, that were
not covered by the reports, and thc
showers were quite general and heavy
In the central counties, but were light
in tlic extreme we-; tern ana extreme
eastern ones. These late rains
thoroughly relieved thc drought over
a large portion of the State, and to
that extent were of great benelit.
The week's weather was generally
adverse during the lirst half, iii its
effect on crops, especially on corn,
owing to thc heat and dryness of the
air, and lack of moisture in the sur
face soil, bot farm work progressed
favorably and nearly all crops have
been laid hy.
Late corn in the eastern and carly
corn in thc western counties sulfured
considerable i tri pair incut for want of
rain, and tired badly, atid is lu a criti
cal condition; while early corn in the
eastern, and late in the western coun
ties su tiered but little, tlie former be
ing about ripe and the latter being not
yet in silk tassel. Bottum land corn is
fairly promising.
Cotton suffered somewhat fruin lack
of moisture, although op still" and rich
lands the elTects or the dry weather
were principally to check its hereto
fore rapid growth and cause it Lo
bloom to ils toips, but on light, sandy
soils cotton not only stopped growing
hut also began to shed its leaves and
fruitage. Portions of the crop are well
fruited and still blooming freely, while
a smaller portion is not well fruited
and is in a generally poor, unsatisfac
tory condition. Sea island cotton
maintained its healthy color but its
g row th was checked.
Tobacco curring is nearly finished
in tlie eastern districts and about half
finished in tlie central and western
ones. The hot weather and absence
of rain were unfavorable on rice. Pears
doing well. Sweet potatoes are ex
ceedingly promising. Much hay was
secured in prime condition. Late fruit?
are valuable hut only fair at best. In
places preparations are under way for j
fall and winter crops.
BORN AT POLICE STATION.
We i IM:UI Turned Into tiiftSU-<ref by Un
recline Bonni i iiRhouac Keeper.
A special dispatch to the Augusta
Chronicle from Macon, Ga., relates
this cruel act of a boarding house
keeper in that city. Thc dispatch
says: Unattended except hy lier five
year-old daughter and without funds,
Mrs. A. ll. Kitchens, of Warren ton,
was thrust Into the streets at 2 o'clock
Thursday morning and after being
sent to police headquarters in a hack,
was placed in a ambulance to be car
ried to the hospital- Ilefore the am
bulance had left the police station
and while it was still standing in thc
street, Mrs. Kitchens became a j
mother.
Mrs. Kitchens left Warren ton
Wednesday for Macon, whore she was
to meet her husband, who was ex
pected from Hawkinsvllle. The hus
band did not arrive on time and Mrs.
Kitchens went lo tlie Reeves House to
spend tlie night. Willie there she
became ill and when thc proprietress
of the house, so the police say, found
out lier trouble and discovered she was
without funds, a telephone message
and also a note were received at police
headquarters asking thc removal of
Mrs. Kitchens immediately. When
tile station house sergeant informed
thc hotel proprietress lie had no au
thority to do so. Mrs. Kitchens was
sent to tlie city hall in a hack.
After receiving medical attention
from Dr. Gibson, city physician, thc
motlier and lier baby were removed tu
tlic Home for tlie Friendless until tho
husband, arrives from llawkinsvillc.
I loth Mrs. Kitchens and lier husband
are well known to several of the elli
ce rs.
"Had I known," said one of them,
"that Mrs. Kitchens was placed upon
the street at such an hour because of
a lack ol' funds, 1 could have raised
immediately all the money necessary
for lier comfort from the policemen.
1 know Mrs. Kitchens' husband and
lie ls perfectly able to pay any expense
his wife might incur."
A Deserved Kain.
At Eastman, Ga., on Wednesday
lltibert I>. Cawthorn was found guilty
of murder in the first degree; on the
charge of having poisoned lt. D.
Tucker, some weeks ago. Tucker
was a prosperous farmer and Caw
thorn a farm hand ph the place. Thc
evidence went tn ?mow that Cawthorn
and Mrs. Tucker became infatuated
witli each other, that Tucker became
suspicious, and that Cawthorn admin
istered poison lo Tucker in a drink of
brandy for the purpose ol* getting rid
of him, so that he might many Mrs.
Tucker. Tucker had taken Cawthorn
into his house and befriended him in
a number of ways. There was also
evidence to thc elTcet that a second
person, of the name of Horn, had died
from tlie effects of poison in brandy
intended to be drunk by Tucker.
Tn ii Raleigh News and Observer
says: "God I Hess Sou tl) Carolina!
Of all the States in the republic, it is
the only one that sticks to the Hihlc
cause for divorce." The News and
Observer is mistaken. South Carolina
recognizes no cause, for divorce, and
as Tlie State says her position on this
matter earns world-wide credit and it
is to be lipped she will not.swerve or
lie lcd astray.
"Leave the trusts alone and they
will fall of their own weight!" shrieks
a high tarin* organ. Perhaps, but,
as the Commoner says it is rather
rough on tlie innocent bystanders who
get caught in the ruins.

A special dispatch fnlm Chicago to
thc Augusta Chronicle says Senator !
Tillman is "lost" somewhere between '
Kansas City aud Chicago. He was
booked fora political conference at
the auditorium Thursday night, but
failed to arrive. It is reported that
he was robbed ol' all his money,
transportation and other personal .
property on a railroad train, and that
failing to convince the conductor of
his Identity, he was ejected from the
train and is stranded somewhere along
the road. All efforts to locate him
have failed.
ANOTHER VKKBION.
A special sent from Chicago Thurs
day night, which was received by Tho
Charleston Evening Post Friday from :
Springfield, Ohio., says"Unitcd States
Senator Tillman of South Carolina is
reported tobi lost somewhere between
Kansas City and Clcago. He was
booked for apartments at the Audi
torium Hotel ano a number of persons
were gathered there for a conference
and anxiously awaited his coming.
He is reported to have left a train,
having failed to lind his transporta
tion or cash, and so far as can bc learn
ed hy officials ito is ata way station
a wai tim; a remittance.
"Senator Tillman is said to have re
plied, when asked for his ticket, that
his pocket had been picked and that
he had nothing on Iiis person to ideu
tify himself. The conductor and the
trainmen telegraphed for instructions,
but thc Chicago ollicials had no means
or determining whether or not thc
passenger was an imposter and in
structed the conductor tu usc his judg
ment.
Tim train has since reached Chicago
and the conductor has vanished!, but,
Senator Tillman lias failed to appear
at either tho Auditorium pr any other
hotel. There is a story among Chicago
railroad men Huit Hie conductor did
not know Senator Tillman and that
he was ejected from Hie train and is
stranded. Telegrams sent aloug thc
line have' failed l.o locate him. At
midnight prominent railroad ollicials
were sending telegrams broadcast,
mailing inquires for Senator Till
man."
TILLMAN NOT LOST.
A special dispatch from St. Louis,
Mo., lo The News and Courier say:
Senator Benjamin lt. Tillman, of
South Carolina, remained in St. Louis
Friday and while here be reported at
the local offices of various railroad ?md
express companies the loss of a wallet
lilied with pusses, express franks and
ollu-r money-savers, lt was reported
that Hie Senator liad been robbed on
a. train, but lie denied the story at the
Southern Hotel. "They fell out of
my pucket," he said,"and I did not
notice it at Hie time. They were not
taken by a pickpocket that I know.
One or the passes I lost was over tho
Burlington Railroad and 1 guess 1
dropped it at Kansas City, lt was in
a pucketbook that had a lot of express
company franks ?ind telegraph franks
and other railroad passes, and all that
kind of stuir. But I had not used thc
Burlington pass."
Senator Tillman was asked if it was
not unusual fdr him to accept such
favors from corporations and. he re
plied: "How can 1 help accepting
Hiern; they stick them at me and stick
at mc until 1 just have to take them.
They don't ihiiuchec my vote, lt is
different down in our country from
what it is up herc. You haven't
heard of anybody being bought with
thousand dollar bills down our way,
hava you? It's thc custom for all pub
lic men to accept passes and most of
us are slaves to custom." Senator
Tillman left Friday night to resume a
lecturing tour, accompanied by Sena
tor Bruton, of Kansas.
COST OF THE FLOODS.
Tho Total Cost Estimated at $10,
000,000 for (lie West. Alone.
The damages from Hie Western
Hoods were greater than lirst reported,
says Thc New Orleans Times-Demo
crat. In'summing up the totals some
time ago, Hie ligures were placed at
$20,000,000, Hie greater part of which
occurred in Hie larger towns, particu
larly Kansas City and Topeka. We
were told that thc railroad losses are
small, much smaller, than originally
estimated.
"lt seems, however, that these
estimates were only of thc damage
done to thc railroads in Hie towns,
where their depots were Hooded and
their tracks badly washed, and did
not take into account Hie railroad in
jury in the rural districts. Thc rail
road companies at their central offices,
most of which are located in New
York, have been figuring on their
losses. This is easily done, because
the railroad auditors have Hie bills
before them to be paid, and can ligure
out Hie cost to a cent. They have
not done so as yet for all Hie lines,
but such figuring as lias been done
puts thc cost of the Hoods tho extra
ordinary expenditures which Hie rail
roads, hilve been compelled to make
over and above the maintenance
charges at $20,000,000 or about $2,000
per mile, for the 10,000 miles ,)f track
el?ected. This is only the positive
and actual damage caused and docs
not include any losses sn tiered through
the interruption ol' traille or Hie pros
pective losses likely to result from a
reduced grain tonnage-two items it
would lie very ditllcult to calculate
with any degree of accuracy. As thc
farm and town damage, independent
of thc losses to Hie railroads, was put
conservatively at 820,000,000, this
would make Hie total cost of the Hood
i 10,000,000 for Hie West alone- thc
country above Cairo; Hie losses along
the lower Mississippi being much less.
Thc damage will be a strong argu
ment lu favor of snell Improvements
by Hie Federal government as will
prevent similar disasters in Hie future;
for Hie total of losses is greater than
it would cost to give Hie people of the
lowlands complete protection from
freshets and ovcrllows.

At four o'clock Thursday morning
at Seattle, Wash., robbers removed
the safe from the bar of the Washing
ton hotel (formerly the Denny) and
rolled lt down the side of the steep
lilli on which tlic hotel is situated.
Passers-by, including street car men
tining to work, sav< the men, hut paid
no attention to them. The robbers
hilled thc safe and planted dynamite
md then stepped out of the way.
Several people stopped within a few
Hundred yards to look at the safe
lying in the street, and the possibility
if sale cracking was Silges ted. While
they were looking, the sale exploded.
L'ebple came running from ali direc
tions. Tlie safe crackers, ol' whom
sime, say there were two and some
say three, made adasli for thc safe to
get Its content:, hut were frightened
by people who came running down
from tlic Washington hotel, and bolt
ed and lett the ?30? which it contain
id.
Cow Ato I UH Mono J.
While working on the Cleveland and
Pittsburg railroad at Macedonia, ( )hio,
Jnntractor Prank Wise hung his vest
in tlie fence on a lot belonging to
Krank Green, a prominent farmer. In
jip pocket of thc vest was a purse
containing $8?"). A wandering cow of
lepra ved appetite spied lt and atc the
/cst and thc contents, but fortunately
Wise discovered thc cow in the act,
uirchased thc animai of Green for $50
md sold her to a lucal butcher for $2;").
The cow was slaughtered immediately
ind a search resulted in tlie recovery
if thc money to thc value of *75,
vhipli was yet in such condition that
f could he redeemed.

:astleally, of course, the abolishment
)f West Point military academy.
This, of course, ls directed at thc
umping of Dr. Leonard Wood, hy
uncial favoritism, from a contract
lurgcon to a major generalship, the
mjecttve point being the command
>f the U. S. army.
A Porn LA ii man has little to say
ihout what he has done and nothing

D?tient Republican Part? itt ? o tit H ^
Smunlied to Smithereens,
A Now Orleans dispatch tn The
fork Sun says: As expected, tho
itti tilde of President Rossevelt on the
negro question hus caused a break up
>f 'the white Republican party of
Louisiana. A circular addressed to
ibo white Republicans by Republican
caders calls for an abandonment or
the party; on the ground that under
Roosevelt It is SO identified with ne
rroism that a white man can not be
eng to it. Tlio objection to Roose
velt given iu the address are as fol
ows:
.'The Republican party, which un
1er the late .lamented and martyred
McKinley, was making every effort to
areak down sectional prejudices and
build up a respectable white party in
Louisana, which would have com
mand the same degree of respect that
the Whig parcy did in ante-bellum
iays, a party which would have been
brue to the principles of protection
ind would have earnestly, desired
to protect Southern agricultural in
terests from foreign slave, codie and .?
peou competition, has now fallen into
Lhe hands of a violent reactionary,
whose idea of statemanship ls to sub
vert the policy of his predecessor and
whose consuming vanity and egotism '
will soon earn for him thc title of
'Party Buster' os well as "Broncho
Buster.'
"It is manifest to all who are not ^
wilfully blind that the ncgropbillsm a
of thc President, whose social equality g
(linings with Booker Washington,
whose appointment of the negro Gruna p
to thc collectorahlp of the ancient s
Southern port of Charleston, where 1
there were a score of white Republi
cans who would have been acceptable .
to thc business element, simply bc- (
cause he was a negro anti after this, i
after partaking of the whole souled 1
hospitality of leading citizens of ?
Charleston; his arbitrary closure of 5
thc lndianola post?nico, where he '
was trying to force a negress on the '
people tts postmistress, although she .
did not want lt and voluntarily resign- j
ed, because, as she said, she knew she
was nob wanted, and being a woman i
ol' sense and wealth did nob care bo 1
remain in a position where she was
personal non grata; his hysterical and
petty malice in this affair, stamp
Uoosevelb elbher as a ncgrophlle fana
blc whose views arc rcpugnanb bo ,
every free horn American and a dead
ly insulb to ever Southern born man, '
or as a demagogic politician playing
for the negro vote that holds thc
balance of power in Ohio, Indiana and
New York.
"In either case the results arc the
same, andar? having the effect; North
and South, ot" inciting negrees to
crime, witli the consequent lynchings
as daily occurrences, and leading them
to aspire to au equality t hat., the Al- j
mighty never intended them to have,
and which In the end is going bo re
sult In a brain of evils that it will
take a generation to rectify.
"Under McKinley there was no "
negro question; under Roosevelt ibis I
a black cloud that looms up ominous
ly and threatens au approaching cy
clone.
"No self respecting Southern Re- ,
publican who loves his race, his home .,
or bhe principles of his parby can lon- a
ger aili l?ate with a party bhab stands
for soelal equality with the negroes. %

economic quesbions may be."
THE RACE ISSUE.
Republican Fear it Moy IJOHC Them [
Indiana anti Illinois. ^
O
An Indiana Democrab of nabional
prominence, would be recognized by
every politician, mnkes rather a re
markable statement. In discussing
the value of the negro vote in those
State he said:
"You would be surprised bo know
that there is likelihood of the negro
vote in Indiana and Illinois, which
has been assured to the Republicans
by President Rjosevelt's course, being
olfseb by bhe loss of white Republican
votes. That ls, however, a facb, aris
ing oub of bbc existing race prejudice
in thone States.
"No one can have failed to observe
the state of public sentiment against
thc colored race in Indiana and Illi
nois. It is more pronounced in Indiana
but is bad enough in Illinois. I am
afraid lt is growing worse every day,
md no one knows where it will stop.
"Now we are begining to observe a
sentiment among the whites, on the
political phase of the situation, simi
lar bo that of the Southerners. The
Republican party is being-looked upon
is the party of the negro, is being
leserted by white Republicans who
diarc the race prejudice.
''Th?t feeling is especially noticea
ble in the small towns,and crops out in
jhe municipal elections. lb is a (pics
Lion how far that feeling will extend,
lilt it ls growing and will have it*
iveight In future elections. The Re
jublican managers, i n order to recognize
Lhe negro vote, place negro candidates
ai the tickets for minor offices. That
.esult in a hue and cry from the
Democrats that it is a negro ticket,
ind local pressure is brought to bear
ti keep men from voting lt who are
mown to entertain feeling on the race
pi cst loo.
"My statement may bc received
vith incredulity in the North. Hut
mthing Impossible In a community
vhcre the race feeling ls so strong
amt a caterer from a neighboring
:own employed to serve a banquet, is
Whiddon to bring his negro waiters in
tor one night, and thc walters are
lrivcn out of town with actual vio
eiice."
