TEDDY'S SCHEME. His Name May be Only One Presented at Convention.?Alabama Already Pledged. / Washington ?tpr Columbia State. Washington, Nov. 21.?-None of the Roosevelt rooters neejl bo alarmed at the report which lias gone forth in certain directions to the effect that tho president has issued an order that no federal officeholders will be allowed to go to the Republican convention pledged to vote for Roosevelt. It means only that no federal officoholdei, such as postmasters, distriet attorneys, collectors of internal revenue and marshals, will be allowed lo go at all. Roosevelt does not intend that there shall be a repetition ol the Minnca]>olis convention of 1802 when Harrison wasxnominated for a second term by his own appointees. 400 of whom sat in the convention and Voted for their chief and official creator. Mr. Roosevelt does not want any such a pitiful performance as that, especially since he has announced that "under no circumstances" would he accept another nomination. And for that t reason thoso who have federal jobs will stay away from the convention. Hut?I hey will be expected to . work like beavers of the most strenuous type to get men as delegates who will be for Roosevelt. The circumstances of tho propagation of this idea that (he president had issued this order to the captains of I he clans throughout the stales through their great general and gen^ eralissimo, ]<Yank II, Hitchcock, are peculiar. They are peculiar to the master manipulator in the White | House. Some three four of the J chosen few among the Washington correspondents were called to the inner sanctuary a day or two ago. What was said in there was not for publication, and no man on the outside was privileged to know; but the chosen correspondents came out with their coats buttoned up in front, their gloves carefully stretched and their chests a little bit. extended, They had been taken into the confidence of the mighty and they proIceeded to tell to an awaiting public which reads their papers, and on the side to some of their newspaper friends who do not enjoy the confidence of the inner sanctuary, how it all is, stating that they have it "upon the highest authority." The president wanted to get the impression abroad in a quiet and unofficial way, so he could deny it if necessary, that he was dead set against a third term and that any man on tho payroll of the federal government who owes his appointment to the presiI dent or any of his underlings who should .be caught working for a third term for Roosevelt would forthwith b and peremptorily lose his job. That | is a very good t hing to get abroad, esI pecially when it. comes "on tho hig'h' est authority" without being irrevocable or deniable. The fact is, and' this is learned upon authority more roliaible if not quite so "high," that no such order has ^one forth as that federal officeholders must not go to tho Republican convention pledged to vote for Roosevelt; not as yet, anyway. No such order, it is safe to L say, is going forth. An "under-! Ift standing" may be handed up and >f down the line, but these fellows who < cat of the presidential sanctuary, after which they wrote storIies "upon the highest authority" have, an "understanding" quite different from the ones the postmasters and otlu-r federal officeholders have. , These, latter are expected to keep up | the Roosevelt shouting and. on the P q. fthey are being coaxed by on { ^ of tlie abicsl leftenanis of the tim? jp 1-j do more than mdo shoi.hng, but f to got actual pledges. ?In Alabama it is all fixed up.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, the original and inimitable Pitchfork Hen, passed through Atlanta yesterday afternoon, en route to his homo at Trenton, S. C. And during his stay he gave to the Journal an interview which indicates that he is sharpening his pitchfork to prod Andrew Carnegie because of a speech he is reported to have made at Howard university concerning the negro race. Incidentally, lie talked of other matters of public interest?prohibition, currency, Roosevelt, Bryan, money stringency, etc. The senior senator from the Palmetto state is real wrathy about the Carnegie speech. Mr. Carnegie was quoted as saying. in a speech, "it is not what shall we do with the negro? but how can we get more of them?" The Senator's Suggestion. "1 know of no man in America better fixed to get 'more of the negroes' than is Carnegie," exclaimed Senator Tillman, "lie has amassed a great fortune through our iniquitous tariff, and is financially Able to get all of the negroes he wants. He is welcome to them. "Hut," continued the senator, "in order that he may fully understand the race T suggest that lie import from Africa the black man; then he will have the negro just as we of the south had them first when they were imported to this country. Ilo0 will see the negro in his original uncivilized state and he enabled to understand just how much the people of the south have done for the race, lie will also have an opporunity. undoubtedly his first, of realizing just what we have had to contend with during all of these years. Returns from "Yankeedom." Senator Tillman came to Atlanta immediately from Clarkesville, Teun., where he lectured Friday night, lie was in the city for three hours, most of which time he spent in the waiting room at the old union station, reading papers and magazines, lie felt at 3.30 o'clock for his home, by the way of the fleorgia railroad and Augusta. "I've beten all through Yankeedom," said the senator replying to a question. " 1 have been going most of the tune since last March, and have traveled over 38,000 miles, tellint; ii.o people about the negro problem and offering my solution of the vexing question." The senator was in Durand's restaurant talking to the reporter, when the interview was suddenly interrupted. "Well, bless my heart, there's Ben Tillman-?he's one-eyed and left, handed, and I'll bet he don't know his old school mate and neighbor!" exclaimed a taJl, slender gentleman, attracting the attention of all the lunch era leaning over the tables and counters enjoying their midday meat. "Say that again, and I'll call your name," answered the senator, smiling with confidence as he fixed his eye upon tho shaggy face with its two weeks' growth of beard standing before him. "You don't rcmemlbcr me, it's been so long since? "You're a Howard, I'll bet my hat," broke in Senator Tillman? and he had guessed right the very first time. It was George W. Howard, a citizen of College Park, who was standing before him. Sen. Tillman and Mr. Howard were school mates in Edgefield county, S. C., in 18,r>3 and 1854, and they had for a teacher Miss Annie Arthur, a sister of President Chester A. Arthur. They lived on adjoining plantations, and each was the eleventh child of his parents, as they both remembered yesterday. WANTED?All your cotton seed at the highest marke't price.
