He Talks About Politics and His Lec tures.-He Discusses Carey Cothran Law. News and Courier. +olumbia, September 2.-Senator B. R. Tillman spent today in the city, this being his first visit to Co lumbia in several months. He came over from his home at Trenton to at tend a meeting of a committee of the Clemson college trustees, but as only one other member of the committee was present at the appointed hour, the senator spent most of the day at the hotel, conversing with friends. Few kiie. that he was in town, as he arrived home, accompanied by Mrs. Tillman, only last Friday night from his lecturing tour in the west. The senator talked interestingly he always talks interestingly-and on a variety of subjects to this corres pondent today at Wright's Hotel. "How do you find things in South Carolina, Senator," was asked by the reporter. "Well, I've just got home and have 4een only a few friends here and there, and don't know what's been going on." Speaking of prohibition he said: "You can say I'm for prohibition against any form of license, young man," declared Senator Tillman very emphatically. "I don't know how this Carey-Cothran law is working, but I have told the people of the state that if you can't watch one big dis pensary and keep out stealing you can't watch thirty of them. "By the way," said the Senator, turning interrogator, "what's become of those stripes they were going to put on the grafters last year? Has anybody been arrested yet? Any war rants sworn out at all? You remem ber that I said those pre-eleetion. pro mises last year were all humbug. There was bound to be something rot ten where there was so much smell, out th8y .1n't seem te be doin:r any fhing 9L--ut it." It was stated to the senator that the r"ispe-i Ey windirg up commission had held up the claims of a number of whiskey houses to the state dis pensary, and that there might be something doing when this commis sion got the information. "They might as well look for evi dence in the Atlantie Ocean,'' was the senator's comment. When asked if he thought there would likely be an effort made to pass a state prohibition law next year he replied that the time might not be ripe then for such a law. "It de pends a great deal,'' said the senator, "on whatt the governor, Mr. Ansel, does; if he does not do anything to make himself ,unpopular he will get a second term, you know.'' Senator Tillman said that he had been working hard on 'his lepture tour, but, said he, "I enjoy preach ing the gospel of white supremacy to those miserable ignoramuses up north. Yes, I get enough out of it to com pensate me for the work. "I find about four-fifths of the crowds with me on the race question everywhere I go. The politicians are the ones who oppose my views. I have taken a number of hand primaries and most of them are more unaimous than any I have taken in South Car olina.'' "No, I am not permitted to talk politics in my lectures, I am confined to the race question by my contracts, but That is really the only question that divides this country, it has divid ed the north and south for the last fifty years,. and if it wasn't for the negro they could get together. "Of course, the fight between Taft and Foraker is the one matter of in terest in the west, especially in Ohio. I haven't got anything to say about that, however, for when I say any thing about Foraker it will be where I have him face to face. I challenged him twice to joint debate, but he wouldn't accept. "I have already expressed the opinion about twenty times that Roosevelt wants the nomination for himself. He is working to bring about a deadlock in the Republican conven tion which will result in them turning to Theodore Roosevelt as the one hon est man left in the world; then they will ask him to save the country. The nomination will be presented to him on a silver platter. "Well. you know I have for a long time been in favor of putting a South ern man on the ticket for Vice-Presi dent instead of nominating these broken-down millionaires who don't add anything to the ticket but bad smell.'' "Is there much talk of Bryan in the west?'' "Well. Mr. Bryan is a very popu lar man an id can command thie votes of a number of Republicans,'' said dhat Scnator Tillman still thinks Bryan the important facter .n the sit uation within the Democratic party. Senator Tillman will spend this week at his home at Trenton and will then start out on another lecture tour o.f fifty lectures, carrying him through Colorado and other western states and the Facifie coast. He is looking hale and hearty, and the work apparently agrees with him as well as stumping South (0arolina. J. H. LITTLE GIRL OUTRAGED. Young Daughter of Abbeville Farm er a Negro Boy's Victim. News and Courier. Abbeville, September 2.-Tillman Beack, a negro boy of 13 years of age was committed to jail this morn ing, charged with rape. His victim is the six-year-old daughter of Dewitt Hall, a respectable farmer, living near Level Land, in the upper section of the county. Mr. Hall yesterday took his older children to ehureh, leaving his wife at home with the little girl Und a boy of four years of age. The negro boy' lived on Mr. Hall's plantation and often played with the Hall children, and yesterday he was playing with them in a cotton house near the yard. The crime was here committed. Afterwards the negro carried the child to a nearby stream and tried to wash away all traces of his crime. The little girl came back to the yard crying, but would not tell her motbei of the offense until last night when she was being dressed for retirement. when the mother discovered the erime. The negro had hid away, but wa. found and promptly sent to jail by Magistrate Wilson. There was talk of lynching, but the youth of the defend. ant and the prompt action of the mag istrate and his constable, Mr. John Wilson, prevented this. The negro will be tried at this term of the court, which is now in session, with Judge Gary presiding. A REWARD OF FATH. The Story of a Church Twice Struck by Lightning. The congregation in a hilly dis trict in Ohio, says the Youth's !Com panion, brought a small tract of land and erected a church upon it. Then the question of insurance came up. Mr. Sipes, the wealthiest member, who had contributed more than half the money needed for the new strme ture, declared that he did not believe in insurance. "This is the Lord's building. He'll take care of it,'" he aid. -- His view prevailed and there was no insurance. In a few weeks the building was struck by lightning and almost totally consumed by fire. An other one was erected, Mr. Sipes con tributing the greater portion of the fund as before. This time the demand was almost unanimous that it be in sured, but Mr. Sipes again objected on the same ground. "If it burns down again, breth ren,' he said, "Ill agree to rebuild it myself.'' Again he carried his point. In less than a month the new church was strck by lig'htning again, and al though strenuous efforts were made to save it, the loss was almost total. " There must be some reason for this, brethren,'' said Brother Sipes. "I am going out to find out what it is.'I Thereupon he employed a fore of men to sink a shaft on the side of the twice destroyed church. Within a few days a rich vein of ore was found, and the church property was sold for many times the amount need ed to buy land in another locality and build again. "I tell you brethren,'' said Broth er Sipes, "it pays to trust the Lord. He's a great deal better business manager than anybody in this con gregation.'' E. SHEEHAN Augusta, Ga.
