They are the Best Sort of Cat tie, but they Can't Stand the Tipk. Jersey Bulletin. A prominent Jersey breeder who lives, somewhere south of the "quar antine' line," in.. speaking of some illustrations of fin'e Jerseys "owfied by men up Northj" which appeared in a recent issfre 'of the Jersey Bulle -tin, made this ,significant remark: "We, like they,fnot only have to 'get the stuff,' butae Mr. Fever Tick after him eig onths out*of the year."-.

"Roosevelt does not kn*ow anything about the negro and every time he touches him he makes a mess of it. He had no business discharging the negro troops at Browns-ville before making a careful investigation. I doubt very much whether or not he is vested with the authority to take such matters in his own hands any way.'' Thus spoke Senator Benjamin R. Tillman today, after his arrival from Dothan, Ala., where he spoke last night, Senator Tillman addressed a large audience here tonight, which cheered the vigorous sentiments he expressed. Th senator talked on the negro ques tion largely and said that the white men owe all their good qualities to the women of their race. ''The negroes have not the women possessing qualities which will make them high minded and this has been their greatest drawback." Speaking of lynching, which he said would continue as long as the crime of rape continued, the senator ex claimed: "With the oath on my lips to uphold the law, I would lead a mob any time to lynch a man, black or white, who had ravished a woman." MURDER IN SALUDA. Mutilated Body of Negro Woman -Found and Husband and his Son Arrested. Saluda, December 29.-A negro wo man, who was found dead at her h6me, in this county, Thursday even ing, is now believed to have been mur dered by her husband, Eppriam Kin ard and his son. At any rate the cor oner's jury by their verdict this even ing charged these parties with this crime, and, both have been lodged in jail. The woman was horribly butchered, her' skul} was broken in two places, her head was almost entirely severed from the body with an axe and near the heart were two ugly kinfe stabs. Kinard claims that he is entirely innocent. Blood stains found on his pants caused the jury to. charge him with the crime. WOULD VETO ANY MEASURE TO REINSTATE NEGROES. Teddy Talks Big, But Foraker, Who Wants to be President, Has Set Out to Down Roos'evelt in the Brownsville Affair. Washingotn Cor. Columbia State. ) Senator Foraker is go.ing to raise Cain when congress reconvenes about this Brownsville busness. And let no one think that the Ohio senator is not able to do it. No matter what jus ~tice, what facts, or what public senti ment the president may liave with 'him in the fight, : Foraker, ''Fire-alarm Foraker,'' is eminently adapted for just such a performance as raising Cain on the other side. He has been raising 'Cain, in one way or another, pretty miuch all these 23 years since he was first candidate for governor of Ohio. He' rp,ised Cain as governor and he has raised Cain in the senate And withal, strange as it may seem to those who do not know him and have never heard him,' he is one of the mildest mannered, most unexcitable, and altogether perhaps the calmest man in the senate. He is the ablest man in the senate. The ingenious 'special pleader'' Spooner, the pon derous Bailey and the fiery Carmack, to say nothing of~ the picturesque Till man, are ai, ,times interesting. (And in a parenthesis I am reminded of dear old Paul Youmans, who once resented some one's calling him ''in teresting.'' ''Why, a monkey's inter esting,'' he exclaimed.) Well, these others are interesting, and I would not 'deny them ability, but when it comes to good all-round horse sense, combined with an excellent cultiva tion of mind and manner, a magni fient gift of speech, especially as to clearness and directions, and perhaps above all, a delicate balance-''sense of humor''some call this; it is in~ fact rather a sense of proportion why, these others are easily outclassed by this very same Mr. ''Fire-alarm'' Foraker, who is creating such a stir all over the country, or rather who is manipulating the spoon. Foraker is Fascinating. Onie can't help getting in a way a little enthusiastic about Foraker. how ever nmuh one mnay differ with him. firLst time~ I met i:m was early last spring. With a n.ewspper friend I was strolling one Snday afternoon around DuPont Circle-that's the hihat eigborhood. We met Sen ator Foraker about half way around the circle. and as my friend knew him well, I got the honor of an introdue tion to the man who had been, to me, the most faseinatinir man in the sen ate, and to whom I had listened in tently on every possible occasion, al though, so far as a. newspaper corres pondent can take sides or is supposed to, nearly everything he said was di rectly opposed to my view of things. Senator Foraker turned and walked back with us, and after a. most de liglitful walk we escorted him to his home-which is also in the hi,h hat neighborhood. I told him that be had been delightful to me and that I en joyed him particularly because he had such a magnificent and fascinating way of saying what isn't so. At this he laughed and I thought it was all very fine. Since that time I have felt it a high honor to have a speaking acquaintance with him. And yet I know that this very name is probably obnoxious to many of my friends in South Carolina, because he is "taking up for the nigger." That's because they don't know him. Pleasant to Newspaper Men. Senator Foraker is very pleasant to newspaper men. He is altogether an exceedingly pleasant man. -But he will not talk to us about this Brownsville matter now. Yesterday when some of the boys went to see him he said that he would do his talking in the senate when that meets again. The presi dent said to four newspaper men he invited to visit him the other day that he would veto any measure that con gress might pass restoring the negro troops who were dismissed for ''shooting up" Brownsville. He fur thermore made the very remarkable statement to the effect that if con gress should pass a bill over his veto he would refuse to execute it, and that if congress shoul& then want to im peach, him he would ,gladly welcome the impeachment proceedings. This is pretty big talk even for a president. All that Senator Foraker will say about this is the following: ''I think that the story about what the president intends to do is too silly to talk about, and you must excuse me from discussing it.'" An Interesting Fight. There are sevearl little supplemen tary circumstances which make this an exceedingly interesting fight be tween the president and Senator For aker. In the first place Foraker has not liked Roosevelt in a long time. Mighty few people who know Mr. Roosevelt well, in these parts at least, do like him; or if th'ey ao like him to day they don't tomorrow. The prin ipal reason for this-and there are a number of reasons- is that the president has a way of promig one thing and doing another, and another little way of saying one thing and when he is criticised for saying it issuing a statement of denial, always elaborating this statement so as to include the more or less emphatic de laration that the man who says he did say so is a liar. But that isn't the reason Foraker has it in for him just at present. At least that isn't all of the reason. Foraker wants to be president, as everybody else does, or most of us anyway. But Mr. Roosevelt doesn 't want Mr. Foraker to be, president. It- is said, a,nd some people are easily enough duped to be lieve it, that Roosevelt wants Taft to president. Those who are on to the game have a pretty strong conviction that the astute manipulator and cal ulator in the W,hite House already knows that there is not a ghost of a chance for Taft, for the reason that he cannot carry Ohio, his own State. Taft is a big man, but he is bigger abroad than he is in his own state. Forakei- is the big man in Ohio, as was clearly shown last summer, when some of his enemies tried to get the state convention to snub him because he dared to oppose the president on the rate bill. Foraker got a tremen dous endorsement, and the president's adherents were made to look like 30 cents. But the president is for Taft -nominally. He wanf.s the nomina tion himself, and when it is clearly shown at the last minute that Taft- is impossible because he can 't carry his own State, then there is nobody else to turn to but Roosevelt. He may de line it and go down in history as an other Caesar who pushed aside the etfown. He 's a pretty shrewd fellow, is this man in the White House who sits up there today eating turkey and cranberry sauce between lectures on the Ten Commandments. Forak.er knows it. Foraker has a sotit of an idea thhat Mr. T. R. is something of a hypoorite. And he is not afraid to sa~y so. Put that down. Foi'ker isn 't afraid to'say anything. He's wrong about this thinz of uns. utho isn'"t heet,adh s _' 7i . thordze. And he is go nle Lo make t,he Brownsville affair an exeedingly important little incident before he gets through with it.
