He told how the defeu Colonel Cooper, had been heard lug and threatening Carmack said that this showed the cc bore malice deep in his heart ag Carmack. Captain Fitzhugh declared Colonel Cooper did not kill Se Carmack because of wounded tation, but "'he killed him bei of his fear of the truth and his of vengeance."

SOME GOOD ADVICE H FROM DR. ELLIOT OX RACIAL . Ar INTERMARRIAGES. He Says That Different Races of People Have Never Profited by ^ Doing So. Montgomery,. Ala., March 8? Cfi "There should be no admixture of racial stock," declared retiring President Eliot, of Harvard University, tonight in an interview. "I believe, for example, that Irish should not intermarry with the Americans of English descent; that the Germans should not marry the Italians; that the Jews should not marry the Each race should muiatain its own 11 Individuality. The experience of civ- n ilization shows that racial stocks are l never mixed with profit, and that ^ such unions do not bring forth the best and strongest children. There is no reason, however, why the races y cannot live together, side by side, r in perfect peace and amity. t) "In the case of the negroes and the whites, the races should be kept apart in every respect. The Sottth n has a wise policty. I believe that r Booker T. Washington has the right j. Ideals, and that Dubois is injuring a the progress of his race with his views." j President Eliot emphatically de- c nies that he ever said that there r was a suffrage problem in the North, -j owing to the predominance of Cath- j olics. j "In the North we are affiliated ] in our civic life by having masses j of voters who know nothing of liber- j ty. Take the Irish?they say them- , selves, that at home they had no < experience at self-government. Our , problem is to ?how the newer arrivals . that it is to their interest to have , efficient government and not lavish . expenditure."

( Florence, March 8.?News reach- ( ed the city late today -of a terrible 1 affair, which resulted in the death of James Allison, a negro, at Allison's ? Postoflice, which resulted in Allison's 1 death Saturday night. From what can be learned Allison i was employed by Makers. A. Poston & < Son as a fireman at their ginnery and ? saw mill plant. After eating his t breakfast at the mill Friday morning S he was taken suddenly ill and never t regained consciousness, death result- I ing on Saturday. s Tlr 'RarMv n nhvsipinn in that ce>r- C tion was called in and pronounced I the case one of poisoning. The mag- r istrate in that township held an in- s quest and It was found that the ne- f gro had been poisoned by being giv- o en a dose of consentrated lye, which it is now thought was administered a through the sugar that was used in e sweetening his coffee. t o ANOTHER FLIM FLAM ARTIST e e 'Works a Skin Game on the Negroes I1 r< of Prosperity. d Prosperity, March 8.?A negro | claiming to be from Washington, D. n C., has been in this community for C the past ten days organizing a new "skin game." He said he had au- w thority from President Roosevelt to ai organize the negroes into lodges, and N when they paid ten dollars they tc 'could get anything they wanted, and tl their membership was a guarantiee a: that they would get it. tl He got too familiar wi'.h one of 01 the sisters and she resented it. This li led to trouble with the husband and ri the usual fight ensued, and the result m was the Rooseveltian agent was tied si hog fashion and brought to Judge tn Kibler's office.

Charleston, March. g. ? T harleston Post says the Bena ic other day eul' jgies were pi ounced on tho ^te Senator A. atimer, who di^j a year ago, aft ve years in service as a member iat body, leaving previously for t ears been 'a member of the house epreeentatives. As the senior sei ar from the State represented by t eparted senator, Mr. Tillman pi ounified the first expression of s< ow iat t'ne death of his late colleagi le remarked an interesting recc s follows: "It is a little more than fourte ^ars since I was sent by the peo] if South Carolina to be one of thi epresentatives in this chamber, tings now are that is about oi hird of the average lifetime of nan, and while during the time th< lave transpired many events of n onal importance, it seems but a br period after all. Yet during t. comparatively short span I ha served here with five United Sta senators from South Carolina, a ifter the fourth of March my sii colleague will have taken the o? it the desk. It is a strange coin Jence that all of these men who he come and gone save one were youi jr in years than I. Three of th< have answered .the roll call on I i>thor side of the river.

By designating none but those his colleagues who have passed fr life, Senator Tillman avoided 1 necessity of naming and of char terizing the one with whom his sociation was most strenuous, Jo Lowndes McLaurin. It would h? been interesting to have had his timate of McLaurin pronounced this calm mood and upon this solei Dccasion. When Tillman took his seat In 1 senate in 1895, succeeding M. Butler, who had had three ter in the chamber, he found J. L. [rby as his colleague in the represi Nation of South Carolina in that bo< a nine more man a year afterwai Joseph H. Earle was elected to si leed Irby, who did not offer for : ?lection in the primary which nor lated Judge Earle. In Decemb 1907, Senator Earle was sworn is a member of the chamber, a vithin three months he was dead. Governor Ellerbe, who also di n office before completing his s< >nd term as chief executive of t State, appointed John L. McLaui ;o fill the vacancy, and the Dem :rats of South Carolina confirm he appointment by nominating M jaurin at the primary held in t lummer of 1898. At the complete ?f this term, a service of five yeai klcLaurin retired from the senal lot offering for re-election, and h ince been a negligible and almost orgotten figure in the political li if South Carolina. lie was succeeded by the late Se tor Latimer, who, as we have nc d, lived to serve but five years he full term to which he was elec d. A year ago the general assemb lected Frank G. Gary to fill the u xpired term, and he is now cor leting that brief service, and wi etire to private life at noon on tl ay after tomorrow. The gener ssembly which has just adjourn* lected E. D. Smith to succeed hir atifying the nomination made in tl emocratic primary last summer. As Senator Tillman says, Mr. Smit ill be his sixth colleague in the sei te during a period of fourteen year ot one of these has served a fu 5rm in company with Tillman, an ie average length of their servic 3 his associates is but a little moi lan two years. It is a striking re< rd of mortality?physical and pc tical?and is well calculated to giv se to melancholy reflection in th ind of the survivor of so many an ich brief asociations in the consti itional representation of his Stat the United States senate.
