"But the ridielousness of the sit

considers that the senator from the
North, who, by reason of his radical
and aggressive utterances and prob
ably actions in the past, once gave
him the name of ''Fire Alarm.''
''That senator finds himself align
ed with that senator from the south,
(Mr. Tillm#n himself) who is usually
supposed to have broiled negro for
breakfast (laughter), who is known
to justily lynching for rape, and
whose attitude, if not that of hatred
to the negro is feeling akin to' it, in
belief that white men are made of
better clay and that white men alone
are entitled to participate in the gov-)
ernment.
Reading from the order issued by
the war department and -signed byl
the president in which it is stated the
unform is a badge of honor and en
titles the enlisted men of peculiar
consideration, Mr. Tillman said it is
that sort of stuff that put into the
head of the negro soldier, that he was
entitled to demand social equality.
"Why should not a colored soldier,
if lie conducts himself as a white
soldier.4vo.the. same consideration?"
asked Senator Nelson.
"For the simple reason that God
Almighty made him colored. He did
not make him white,'' retorted Mr.
Tillman.
DISPENSARY RUMORS AFLOAT.
The Report of Attorney J. E. Mc
Donald is Said to Contain Much
that is of a Sensational Nature
in Regard to Former
Purchases.
News and Courier.
Colimbia, January 12.-Some im
portant dispensary news is looked for
next week. Cominissioner Tatum has
written a letter upon request of Sena
tor( Christensen informing him that 35
Cars of whiskey are being held 111up for
demirra.-e, because there i-s no room
for tie stuff in the ware houses.
The members of the board have
been telegraphed to be here Monday,
but it is said at the dispen,sary that
this was done to bring them here a
day ahead of the regular meeting
Tuesday so as to have them go over
their annual report in order to have
it ready for the Legislature promptly.
This report will embrace the much
talked of report of Attorney J. E.
McDonald, who was appointed by the
rrw board shortly after it assumed
eontrmol to go over thme orders placed
by thme old board to see if a large
amount of the $800,000 thme old board
owed for whiskey could not be held
up for payment on the ground thatn
thle orders were irregul ari.
The understaniding among those
able to judgze of the contents of this
rep)ort has bmeen that it was of a sensa
tional nture, that the attorney dis
covered( thait nmany of thlese orders
had been i rregnhairly given.
Accordlingi to oleial reports thle
board'( lhas since made a lark~e amounmt
of t hi's .$800.000 has been p)aid1, and
some of thle houses which got thme most
were those dliscovered to be ini a1 bad
light by the investigating committee.
This~ is explained at the State dispen
sary by the statement that most of
these paymenits wiere made in bad li
quor' returned to the houses in ques
tion.
The hoard has been withholding
this report of Mr'. McDonald's from
p)ublicationl for several months and
munch curiokity has been excited as to
its pr'obable, contents. The report of
the board. will include thie attorney's
report and will be made public pro

By James S. McCarthy.
Washingtoii, Jan. 14.-Congress
man John Sharp Williams, the Demo
cratic leader in the House of Repres
entatives, has outlined what he be
lieves should be the policy of his par
ty iln national politics. He has de
clared for a campaign on the tarif:
issue, wvith special reference to reci
pr'oeity, and for a vigorous attack or
the p)olicies of imp)eriolistic central

Southern Senators and Representa
tives are united in favor of the pro
position to appropriate $50,000 to be
expended by the Department of Com
.merce and Labor in sending special
agents to foreign countries to develop
larger markets for American cotton
goods. Although the export sales of
American-made cotton goods have
increased materially in recent years,
it is a well known fact that this in
erease has not been as rapid as it
might have been had the foreign
markets beLmn looked after intelligent
ly. This is especially true of the
