TII.LMAN AT COLUMBIA.. He Talks About Politics and His Lec- [ tures.?Ho Discusses CareyOothran Law. News and Courier. jCjolumbia, September '2.?Senator B. R. Tillman spent today in the city, thus being his first visit to Columbia in several months, lie came over from his homo at Trenton to attend 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 knew that he was in town, as he arrived home, accompanied by Mm. 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 correspondent today at Wright's Hotel. "How do you find thing's in South Carolina, Senator," was asked by the ' reporter. ' "Well, I've just got home and havo seen only a few friends here and there, and don't know what's been going on." I Speaking of prohibition he said: < "You can say I'm for prohibition , against any form of license, young | man," declared Senator Tillman vory > emphatically. "I don't know how this Carey-Cot bran law is working, but I ( liavo lold 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 Sonator, } turning interrogator, "what's become of those stripes they were going to ( put on the grafters last year? Has anybody been arrested yet ? Any warrants sworn out at all? You remember thai 1 said those pre-election pro- ] rnises Inst year were all humbug. . There was bound to be something rot- : jen where there was so much smell, but they '.>n't scorn lr br doiiiir anything al.mt it." It was stated to the senator that the 'lispe.i* f jy windirs* up eommisMon had held up the claims of a number of whiskey houses to the state dispensary, and that there might be , something doing when this commission got the information. "They might as well look for evidence in the Atlantic Ocean," was the senator's comment. When asked if he thought there would likely be an effort made to pass a state prohibition law noxt year ho replied that the time might not be ripe then for such a law. "It dopends a great deal," snid the sonator, "on what 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 lecture tour, but, said he, "I enjoy preaching the gospel of white supremacy to those miserable ignoramuses up north. Yes, I get enough out of it to compensate 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 Carolina. '' "No, 1 am not permitted to talk polities in my lectures, 1 am confined to the race question by my contracts, but that is really the only question thai 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, I he fight between Taft ' and Koraker is the one matter of interest in the west, especially in Ohio. I haven't got anything to say about that, however, for when 1 say anything about Koraker il will be where , I have him face to face. 1 challenged him twice to joint debate, but he wouldn't accept. "I have already expressed the opinion ah^nt twenty times that Roosevelt .>.inls the nomination for ' himself. He is working to bring about 1 a deadlock in the Republican convention which will result in them turning , to Theodore Roosevelt as the one honest man left in the world: then they will ask him to save the country. The nomination will be presented to him <?n a silver platter. "Well, you know I have for a lonu |' . time been in favor of pulling a South-1] ern man on the ticket for Vice-President 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 ^ tho west?" J "Well, Mr. Bryan is a very popu- < lar man iiiiil can command the voles of a number of Republicans," said I I 1 li<? scnnl'T, :v '1 while lie d:d not cxpross himscli further ii i- evident . 1 hat Senator Tillman still thinks Bryan the important factor in the situation within the Democratic party. Senator Tillman will spend this week at his home at Trenton and will then start out on another lecture tour of fifty lectures, carrying him through Colorado and other westorn states and the Pacific coast. He is looking hale and hearty, and the work apparently agrees with him as well as stumping South (Carolina. J. II. LITTLE GIRL OUTRAGED. < ? Young Daughter of Abbeville Farmer a Nogro Boy's Victim. J News and Courier. i Abbeville, September 2.?Tillman I Be a ok, a negro boy of 13 years of nge was committed to jail this morn- j ing, charged with rape. I lis victim is the six-year-old daughter of Dewitt -J Hall, a respectable farmer, living icar Level Land, in the upper section >f the county. Mr. Hall yesterday took his older children to church, leaving his wife vt home with the littlo girl and a boy j if four years of age. Tho negro boy lived on Mr. Hall's plantation and | >ften played with the Ilall children. I \nd yesterday he was playing with hem in a cotton house near the yard. The crime was here committed. ,= Afterwards tho negro carried the . jhild to a nearby stream and tried to , wash away all traces of his crime. j The little girl came back to the yard j rying, but would not tell her mothei j if the offense until last night when die was being dressed for retirement when the mother discovered (lie crime. The negro had hid away, but wafound and promptly sent to jail by Magistrate Wilson. There was talk ol lynching, but the youth of the defend nut and the prompt action of the magistrate and his constable, Mr. John Wilson, prevented thus. The negro will be tried at this term i>f the court, which is now in session. " with Judge Clary presiding. A REWARD OF FAITH. The Story of a Church Twice Struck | by Lightning. li f The congregation in a hilly dis- c triet in Ohio, says the Youth's (Com- j, panion, brought a small tract of land and erected a church upon it. Then tho question of insurance came up. Mr. Sipcs, the wealthiest member. | who had contributed more than halt ^ the money needed for tho new struc- g ture, declared that he did not believe in insurance. "This is the Lord's * building. He'll take care of it," he flj said. 4 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 [>ther one was erected, Mr. Sipes con- 4 tributing the greater portion of the ^ fund as before. This time the demand > was almost, unanimous that it be in- ^ sural, but Mr. Sipes again objected J itn the same ground. "If it burns down again, broth- 4 ten," he said, "111 agree to rebuild ^ it myself." ^ Again he carried his point. In less _ than a month the new church was struck by lightning again, and al- 4 though strenuous efforts were 111 ado ^ to save it. the loss was almost total. ^ "There must be some reason for this, brethren," said Brother Sipes. '1 am going out to find out what it 4 * Thereupon he employed a force of ^ men to sink a shaft 011 the side of the twice destroyed church. Within 4 r few days a rich vein of ore was 4 found, and the church property was * sold for many times the amount need- ^ m1 to buy land in another locality and a build again. "I tell you brethren," said Broth- ^ t?r Sipes. "it pays to trust the Lord. 4 He's n great deal better business manager than anybody in this concrrogation." ^ E. SHEEHAN?
