Continuing, the professor re marked : "The President's fears, however, are probably exaggerated, as the American mau is by no means the mere dollar-seeker he has so often been described. He is above all tenderhearted, often sentimental, charitable, public spirited, chival rous to women and unapproaehable in hospitality."'

Hight in] the middle of his attacks on tho negro raco he said : "I want to say to you-and I say it with all tho sin cerity of my nature-that I do not hate tho negro. "I was nursed by a blaok mammy. 1 have on my farm in South Caro lina to-day a negro man of about my own age, Joe Gibson, who has been with me thirty years. He has charge of my keys and of every thing I possess there in the way of a house, furniture, horses and car riages, and everything for a farm of | two hundred acres, worth some $12, 000 or $15,000. "I trust him explicitly. He cannot] read or write. He has got a wife I who is as trustworthy as he is." Later on he said of the proposition of the African Meth odist Bishop Turner that the negroes should bo induced to go to Afrioa : "How many of them want to go ? I do not know, and cer tainly there is no law to make them go, and Congress cannot pass one. "Joe does not want to go-my Joe. I do not know whether I be long to Joo or Joe belongs to me. Anyhow, we have been together for j thirty years, and Wo have agreed to live together until one or both of us die, and when I go away, if I go first, I know he will shed as sincere a tear as anybody.

Washington, February 27.-Sena tor Tillman to-day emphasized his magnificent speech of Tuesday on the race question by making a few pertinent pbservations on tho action of citizens of Indiana, Pa., in driving negroes from tho town. Ho was shown a copy of press reports of the Pennsylvania "outrage" upon the negro, and he said : "It has become to be recognized that tho negroes who aro entering the North are carrying with them a better knowledge of tho race and that the Northern peoplo will rule them out altogether. You can soe that demonstrated right hero in the District of Columbia. We have dis franchised tho negro becauso we do not want his rule and domination, but the Federal authorities wink at ] it. "I repeat that the white man of the North does not care any more for tho black man than the white man of the South does. McKinley was forced to change his views before he died. He was fooled at first on the question. "He said finally that the negro must roly on industrial development for his future. , "I know of at least eight towns in Indiana where the people will not al low a negro immigrant to step off a train. They do not want the Mad man, and whon he oomes along they tell him to move on." For Benefit ol Peary Arctic Club.

Washington, March 8.-Repr?sen tative Livingston, of Georgia, the ranking Democratic member of the the House committee on appropria tions, makes a rough estimate that the total amount of money appropri ated by the Congress which is about | to close will reaoh a minimum figure < of $2,000,000,000. "I have not the complete figures at hand yet," said Mr. Livingston, "for the reason that several bills aro yet in conference, but I judge that the total amount will not bo less than $2,000^000,000. This it* a re markable faot upon whiob the coun try can well afford to ponder. It means that the expenditures of the government are far greater than the growth of the country warranta. Of course allowances must always be made for'growth, but the develop ment is being exoeeded by the total of our disbursements. "Tho faot is, this Republican ad ministration is following tho same oourse of an extravagapt person who finds his pockets full of money and wbo does not know what to do with it. A tnan extravagantly inclined, who does not know what to do wit'.: the money in.his purse, always man ages to get rid of it, and in most in stances a great, proportion of it goes to waste. There is now a surplus of aboitt $477,000,000 in -tho treasury, and . the Republicans don't know what to do with it. .^Therein lies the ' evil. There should be no gigantic surplus. The Republioan protective tariff is re sponsible for the situation, and 1 be lieve that with a tariff-for-reveoue only policy we could manage the af fairs of the treasury much better, ob-1 viate the great surplus, without in juring the state of our finances, a'nd thus eliminate any ohanou for ex travagance. I believe that is the solution of the problem and that the true Democratic policy would con duce largely to wise eoonomy. "With a ?2,000,000,0*00 Congres staring us in the face, it is time to out down appropriations. A feJ8flfctf& ago tho country waa^sJ^Mfieoi to find that it had just wUHH^'a bil lion dollar Congress.'

Campbell Morgan, the emi nent evangelist, in bis sermon at the Tabernacle Baptist church Tuesday night, took a shot at the Bon II ur performance which is being given nightly at the Grand opera house and advised.

Dr. Len G.

Clifton, an alleged Baptist preaoher, is in a cell at tho Green villa station house, charged with grand larceny, having been arrested by Chief of Police Kennedy, at the instigation of Alderman G. H. Mahon, yesterday afternoon at his boarding bouse, in MoBee avenue. After making the arrest, Chief Kennedy went to the room occupied by Clifton and there found a large stock of almost every conceivable artiole of merchandise, from a tooth brush to a pair of shoes or an over coat. A quantity of the goods were at once identified as being the prop erty of the Mahon & Arnold Com pany and R. L, li. Bentz. The Rev. Clifton came to Gr ren ville about two weeks ago anc" bas been here since, selling the "Li.e and Letters of John A. Broadus." Ile olaimed to be a Baptist preacher, was well dressed, had a clerical look and a gentlemanly bearing. In some way he secured the names of a number of the Baptists of the city. To each of those Rev. Clifton gave a very creditable tale, stating thnt he was a Baptist preaoher ; that he was a personal friend of the Broadus family ; that because of un fortunate circumstances he was com polled to take up the work of selling books. By this moans he sucoeeded in disposing of jx number of the books, receiving $1.50 for each one. While canvassing the city the Rev. Clifton always carried with him a small grip, and it is supposed that he would steal tho goods and convey them to his room in this grip. G. II. Mahon, of the Mahon & Ar nold Company, was ono of the first persons to buy a book from Rev. Clifton. Mr. Mahon stated yester day, however, that ho suspeoted the man when he first saw bim i.nd told Chief Kennedy to koop an eye on him ; shortly afterwards Mr. Mahon thought he saw Rev. Clifton take a pocket book from his store. How ever, he wanted to be positive of his proof and quietly waited further re sults. In tbe moantirae Mr. Mahon had written to a prominent oitizen of Hartwell, Ga., where Rev. Clifton is supposed to live. The reply ?r?ui Hartwell stated that a Clifton family lived \p that town ; that Mr. Clifton was thero occasionally and always seemed to have plenty of money, and it was generally supposed by the people of Hartwell that Clifton was a gambler ; that his family always lived high, dressed well and never seemed to want for money. Yesterday Rev. Clifton was in the Mahon & Arnold store, and despite the fact that he was hoing watched, he stole a pair of shoes. Ho was also seen with some spools of thread in his pockets which wore secured at the time. These disclosures lead to his arrest yesterday afternoon. When seen by a reporter last night the Rev. Clifton said, that he had scoured the goods in payment for books and in exchange. He claimed to be from Baltimore, Mary la: Green ville, Ne wa, Maroh 4. Four Youthful Atlanta Burglars. Poor youthful burglars were yes terday sent to the tower in "default of bail, says tho"Atlanta Constitution of -March 4th. The band of boy burglars had a den where they camped at night and hid their booty. The den was not a eave in any dis mal woods, but an old cellar iq %the very center of the business section of Atlanta. The discovery of the den was tho sequel to the arrest of the four boys who aro" hold for tho burglary of Brown's saloon on North.j Broad street. The burglary, committed on the Sabbath ia broad daylight, was ono of tbe boldest the Atlanta police have ever had to deal with. From what one of the boya stated after his* arrest it was believed that the four were banded together to commit crime, and it was suspected that somewhere they bad a den where they met together to make plotsjA to hide their ill-gotten gains. If Manier, who arrested the iujftfl boy burglars, found the den9 a cellar leading from aSJ*?^^^HB rear of Emery's murk. ;., located on the Broad street bridj^MB^ damp, dark roora where the v. .; kopt com pany with the ' ihese hoy? had hidden a lot don goods. A whole waffojpl?ad was taken to the ?mi ii oks. There were all hnnd-saws, meat-saws, ham raors, planes, coats, shoes, shovels, chisels, files and plasterers' tools. Some of the goods were new, but tho most of them were second-hand. Where all the plunder oame from is not known. It was the result, doubt less, of many hauls made by the gang of young outlaws. In this murky cellar two of the boys slept at night as guards. W htm a daring burglary was to be plani ed the four met in the oellar and decided what places they were to break open next. The four boys, Jim Owens, John Gentle, I'M Hollis and Ed Cassidy, were arraigned before Recorder Broyles yesterday afternoon and held in a $500 bond each for bur glary. They oould not make the bonds, and were sent to the tower. Gentle was tbe boy who had the large assortment of keys. In his pockets were at least one hundred keys of all sorts and sizes. With them he could have entered almost any store or residence in the city. The police believe the boy burglars havo committed many of the recent burglaries in the city. They had beoome bold in their operations, hav ing escaped detection so long. When they robbed Brown's saloon they must have been at work three or four hours carrying off the whiskey, beer, oigars and tobacco. Tho goods were removed in a Baok from the saloon to a basement under an ad joining building. Foley's Kidney Cure makes the kid-1 neys aud bladder right. Contains noth ing injurious. For salo by J. W.

But the death was really due to carelessness which made the accident possible. There are a freat many ives sud denly termi nated as a result of carelessness, although thc medical cer tif?cate may read "heart failure." When a man takes chances with his stomach and neglects the warning symptoms of disease, he is carelessly inviting calamity.

OLD REUABLg Absolutely Pui? 8.-President talking with a delega icnseeans who called on occasion to declare that he seo Senator Carmack "in hell" - before ho would give him any patron age1. Ho subsequently modified the declaration by saying he presumed he should h??Ve used the word "hades" instead of "hell." This d?claration was entirely gra tuitous on tho part of the President. Senator Carmaok has asked him for no patronage. Ho has 'constantly kept away from tho White House. Some of bis criticisms of the admin istrations d of the President have been so severe that the President feels deep resentment toward him. The way the President's remark happened to be made was this : A delegation of T/ennesseeuns went to tho White House in behalf of Mr. Morgan, of that State, who aspires to bo upon the canal commission. President Roosevelt listened to what these gentlemen had to say in behalf of Morgan, and then said he would be gi? 3 to consider their wishes. "But," he went on to say, "there is ono member of your delegation whom 1 would see in hell before I would give him any patronage." That Tennesseean, he made olear, was the Senator who loses no oppor tunity to oritioise the aotion of the President and his party. Senator Carmaok would not dis cuss the episode to-day further than lo say that gentlemen in the party bad reported to him what had oo ourred. "It was an entirely uncalled for declaration on tho President's part," said Senator Carmack, "since I have asked him for nothing and do not intend to ever ask anything at his hands. I had BO expressed myself to my friend, Mr. Morgan, before the party went to tho White House in his bohalf. I havo not asked any thing from the President, nor would I, and I do not caro to criticise any statement he may havo made. I find sufficient opportunity and sufficient occasion to do that in tho Senate." Bears the Thfl *ind You ^m ffigg Bought Killed by His Stepson. Branchville, S. C., March 4.-John Heap, formerly an engineer on the Southern railway between Augusta Branchville, was killed by his step son, Wm. Fairey, at Branchville at an early hour this morning. From the information received it seems that Heap had boen on a spree at Branchville for about ten days. This morning his stopson, who lives some distance from Branchville, came to town for tho purpose of quieting Heap and to get him to go hon io. Heap wan armed with a gun, accord ing to the report, and when his stepson approached him he told him to got away ; that he would kill him, raising the gun to his shouldor and pointing it towards his stepson, who was also armed. Fairey drew his pistol and fired, killing Heap al most instantly. Heap's stepson is said to be a prominent citizen of Orangeburg county. After the shooting he gave himself up to thc oflioors and ho was taken to Orangeburg and placed in the hands of tho^ sheriff.
