NEGROES CLAMOR FOR ADMISSION
AnxTous to Hear Tillman Talk
in Senate on the Race Question.
PREDICTS FLOW OF BLOOD
SAYS WHITES WILL IN EVERY WAY PREVENT SOCIAL AND POLITICAL EQUALITY IN THIS COUNTRY.
trublishers Presf.j "vfashington. Jan. 12. Announcement that Senator Tillman wouli peak on the race question In connection with the proposed investigation cf the Brownsville affair had the effect t attracting to the capitol an exceptionally large number of people. Long .before the senate convened the corridors were crowded ' and when the doors were opened the galleries soon filled, leaving many in the corridors. In the crowd there was an unusual jiumber of negroes and, interested as they were in the dicussion, they were jio more eager to get Inside the doors than were the whites. In his speech before the senate on (the discharge of negro troops Senator (Tillman characterized the president's Action as "nothing more nor less than lynching," and contrary to the fundamental principles cf liberty. He said colored troops were sent to Texas over the protest of the people, sena
tors and congressmen, and should not
have been sent there. He declared
the troops were discharged because
they were negroes, and contrasted the
action with the protection given regu
lar soldiers involved in the riot at Athens, O. He said the race question Js the whole issue and declared the president responsible more than any
other man, because of social recognition of Booker T. Washington, know-
ing he was flying in the face of caste
feeling north and south. He cited the
race conflict in Cuba, which Is to settle whether the Island shall be gov
erned by white men or negroes.
After predicting in the near future race conflict to determine whether the negro Is the equal of the Cau
casian, the senator said : "Broadly
stated, the white people of the United States are face to face with the vital Issue, to whether the Caucasian race shall share Its inheritance with the other races of the earth. In Cuba the question presses for solution and im
mediate action. Shall that island be governed by negroes or white men? Shall It be doomed to the fate of San Domingo or shall It be saved for the .white man? The question of a protectorate or annexation and of the future status of the people there must be determined In the near future. That Is only one phase of the question. "On the Pacific coast the relationchip between the Mongolians and the Caucasians is involved. The president announces himself as favoring the policy of absolute eliminating of the race line, the granting citizenship to the Japanese. The Americans of the Pacific coast, as I understand it, are bitterly opposed to this policy and without regard . to party lines. These Americans ought to know what is for their best interest, and they ought to and undoubtedly will have the sympathy and aid of their fellow citizens rorth and south in protecting their Interests. But these two phases of the race problem sink into insignificance alongside of the greater and more vital question of the relationship of the races in the southern states of the Union. "In six southern states (South Carolina, Georgia. Florida. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana) In the aggregate the nejroes outnumber the whites, and in two of them (South Carolina and Mississippi) the negro preponderance is very heavy. "Under the law these people possess every right that white men have as far as the federal constitution confers right, and the fifteenth amendment expressly forbids the enactment of any law which 'shall discriminate In voting on account of race or color.' Iarge numbers of these negroes are disfranchised at this time, but those laws are only temporary and work no cure and In the near future enough xteeroes will be able to vote to make
Inevitable the struggle for mastery between the races. In Cuba the color line has been obliterated and miscegenation is in full blast. At the north the same conditions exist and the large number of mulattos and quadroons with white blood in their veins who have migrated there are the leaders of the doctrine of absolute social equality, encouraged as they have been and are now by the president of the United States." After quoting extracts from the president's message the senator said: "Is it possible or desirable that all consideration of race and color shall be dismissed from our minds and not govern our action; that racial instincts implanted in us by nature are to be ignored, and all men of all races to be judged and treated on the basis of individual merit? Are men to be made over and the caste feeling and race antagonisms of centuries to disappear In the universal brotherhood of man? Are there any senators in this audience who subscribe to this doctrine who would have the Caucasian, highest and noblest of the five races, as is attested by history, descend to the level of the others and share his birthright with them with the inevitable result that pure white
blood will disappear from the face of i
the earth and after the mixing of cen

gamatlon, have all men of one skin
and one type? Is President Roosevelt ready to act up to his own theory and have his children marry men and women of the other races? Would he accept a3 a daughter-in-law a Chinese, a Malay, an Indian, or a Negro, in accord with the doctrine laid down in his message which I have quoted? We all know he would not, and while 'fine words butter no parsnips,' words like these ar a source of incalculable evil, coming from such a high source. "The southern white men and women who have for 40 years resisted in every possible way this doctrine of the equality of the races are just as resolved now as they have always been, not to submit to it or its results. They are resolved to maintain control of
their state governments and to pre
vent in every way possible social and
political equality with the Inevitable
destruction of their civilization, which
would follow if they yielded. The con
ditions are growing more and more
aggravated every day. Race antagon
Ism increases In intensity. Are things to drift until direct tragedies multiply on every hand and blood flows like water? Is the statesmanship of our
time inadequate to cope with this
question, just as the statesmanship of I860 failed to prevent the dire catas
trophe of civil war? That war was fought to settle the race question, but
40 years after its termination we find
conditions more threatening in some
of their aspects than they were in 1860. It Is not possible for me to be
lieve that the theorists and senti
mentalists at the north, who are re
sponsible for the conditions existing.
will be. allowed to pursue their policy
of absolute recognition of race equality much further. .The question is not local nor sectional, except so far as the negroes are nearly all at the south. It is high time something was being done to have this great and vital question brought before the country in some practical and sensible way. The deep interest shown Jn the Brownsville tragedy is ample evidence tbTaf the people of the country are beginning to feel a deep concern in this question, and it is absolutely useless for doctrinaires and politicians
to undertake to pooh-pooh the question and dismiss it with a wave of the hand. I for one am ready to go to battle under the slogan, 'America for
the Americans.' This is a white man's country and white men must govern it."

thrilling attempts to rid himself of the duties of postmaster at Spartans
burg.
"We feel that the readers of the Palladium should know the truth of
the matter.
"Last fall, Mr. Rich, then postmas
ter, at Spartansburg, decided to move to Richmond. Before doing so he
wished to rid himself of the duties of
the postoffice and in this manner, he resigned and recommended a man for
the place and then moved. "Since his removal he has been en
deavoring to gain the summit or a wave of popularity by his little talks
on "How to Get Rid of a Postoffice
In these talks he spoke of wrSking
weekly trips to "the little hamlet" to attend to the postoffice and by the financial loss caused by paying rent
for the room In which the office was
located.
"Now, it would be well for the read
ers of the Palladium to know Miat the room was furnished free of any
charge whatever, by the I. O. O. F.,
and as to the "weekly trips," they cer
tainlv have been made during the
night.
"The citizens of Spartan sburg are
of course glad to knov that he is at
last relieved of the strenuous duties, but we are also sorry to lose what has
been a part of our community for the past fifty years. Yez we feel that as we can more easily sur.ive th loss of the postmaster than the loss of the
office.
"Mr. Rich spoke of the "soreness" in
the hearts of the citizens towards Cou
gressman Cromer. This is surely a mistake, as we know what caused more than anything else, the desertine of the office and it was by no
means a congressman, but probabr n grocer of Richmond. "As to the "funeral procession" which will leave Spartansburg on the eighteenth of January for Crete, it will probably cause more regret than a
certain procession of groceries that left our town last fall bound for Richmond.
"Now that our office is to leave us,
we will quietly erect our man ooxes
and hope that Mr. Rich's little plan of
advertisement, although a strange one will cause him to gain a few customers. Yet there will always be a mystery in the fact that he vas willing, for the sake of a littlo notoriety, to discommode the entire community
of Spartansburg. His bcnJsmen feel very much relieved, ow'ng to a threat Mr. Rich was heard to make that if
his resignation were not accepted he
would shut up tire office and leave
anyway.
"Mr. Rich has promised us that he
xill be present when the "funeral pro
fession" leaves our burg and it would
be far from appropriate should there be a funeral procession without the corpse, so with the usual "dust to dust," we resign to our fate.
"The Citizens of Spartansburg."

THE RECORD IS BROKEN
When it Comes to Defeats the Business College Basket Ball Team Got the Worst Ever Administered at Greensfork Last Night.
It wouldn't be fair to say that the business college basket ball team met its Waterloo last night. That is. It wouldn't be fair to the memory of Napoleon, for the great Frenchman never did get beat quite so badly as the budding stenograpners. at the hands of the Greensfork quintet last night. The score was 68 to 8, understood to be the most lopsided on record. The business college lads had understood that Greensfork was pretty good but hardly expected anything resembling what they really got. The
local lads made but two field goals
while the enemy knew the field to perfection and threw the ball into the basket at will. Business college will

UY CASE BEFORE COURT
The spectacle of a disheveled indi
vidual with the light of madness shin
ing from his eyes, muttering incoherent imprecations, and frequently slashing at an imaginary adversary
with a great gleaming knife, when he was not flourishing a big revolver, caused citizens of the little town of Centerville to seek safety behind bar
red doors yesterday morning.
William Holler, of Ablngton, but recently released from the insane hospital certainly created a reign of terror in that community until he fell into the strong arm of the law. Although Holler, who is 32 years of age, has been an inmate of the hospital for a couple of years he was apparently In a good mental condition when given a furlough a short time ago. He became violent, however immediately upon starting upon a trip to Milton. A citizen of Centerville notified Sheriff Meredith over the telephone, and that official accompanied by ex-sheriff Smith hurried to the little town, and placed the maniac under arrest. Strangely enough he offered no resistance, and was soon landed in the county jail, from which place he was later removed to the insane hospital. A brother of the demented man called at the office of the sheriff during the day, and expressed
the hope that lie would be kept under t strong guard, as he had threatened the life of the entire family. Only a
year or so ago he tried to kill this brother, but only succeeded in shoot j Ing him in the hand.

clalr. author of "The -Jungle and
one of the most up-to-date socialists
in America, today declared that E. H
Harriman was the leading socialist of the United States, that President
Roosevelt was next and that Andre-v
Carnegie, by his most recent views
on the distribution of wealth, had
greatly aided the cause.
Mr. Sinclair is living at Haleyon
Hall, Englewood, where he started a
colony. He has gathered together 43
associates under one roof and says
his combination home is a great suc
cess.
"The great library given and steel
king has written himself down as a
great socialist", said Mr. Sinclair,
"but not the greatest not the great
est. Mr. Harriman is the greatest and
then comes President Roosevelt."
"Harriman comes first," continued
Mr. Sinclair, smilingly, "because he
is concentrating everything. That is
what the socialists want, because he is the big fish in the present brutal,
ruthless competition. For in the sea,
the big fish gobble the little one.
Harriman is gobbling them all. In this great country the American people will not stand it much longer.
The mass of the people will ultimately gobble Harriman, and then the people will come into their own." "And Roosevelt" "The President," said Mr. Sinclair, "realizes that it is to do or to" die. He knows that if he doesn't Bryan will. The president il therefore determined to curb the syndicates. That is the socialistic idea.
"Mr. Carnegie expresses the belief
that a millionaire ought to share his wealth with the poor. Is'nt that the
purest socialism?"
