TILLMAN TALKS
To the Members of the Farmer's
Union of Chester
THE SENIOR SENATOR
Discusses the Legislature, Denouncen
Compulsory Education, Speaks
Pleasantly of President Taft, Defends
Clemson and Scored Some
^ of the Newspapers.
A special dispatch from Chester
to The News and Courier says an
tiirilpnpn varlnnalv pRtlmated at from
2,500 to 4,000 persons gathered on
the grounds of Union A. R. P.
church, near Richburg, Tuesday to
attend the rally of the Chester County
Farmers' Union and to hear Senator
B. R. Tillman and the other
speakers engaged for thiB occasion.
The senior Senator seems fully rejuvenated
and spoke with all his
old-time force and fire.
He jumped on the mileage system
In vogue in this State by which the
railroads sell a passenger a mileage
book for |20 and then compel the
passenger to waste much valuable
time and patience in attempting to
exchange mileage for a ticket, lie
said the whole thing is the fault of
the legislature and cautioned the
people against putting too many railroad
lawyers and freiends of corporations
in the law-making body.
"An Infernal fool arrangement,"
he called the present practice.
He said he did not know much
about the Farmers' Union, but
thinks It a good thing, only he begged
to warn the people against allowing
the organization to become
a lever to advance the fortunes of
politicians. He described his missionary
work in the North, and his
endeavors to convert the Northern
people to the sane and Southern way
of viewing the race question.
He denounced the efforts of those
who favor compulsory education as a
scheme to give the ballot to negroes,
which It surely will, he said, by compelling
them to go to school and
overiome the educational qualifiest.lnnn.
which nlnnn ctunH hot umnn
them and the ballot.
President Taft, he said, Is a splendid
gentleman, a great Improvement
over his predecessor, but is "spreading
all the molasses he can to catch
flies."
He descrbed conditions at the
North as regards social problems and
drew a beautiful picture of the comparative
purity that obtains in the
South. Tho divorco evil ho particularly
denounced and called on his
hearers to hold fast to the present
practice In South Carolina on this
subject.
Touching on Clemson College, the
Senator denounced the newspapers
that have been meddling with the
situation there, as he dearlhed it,
for the sole purpose of stirring up
discord, and offered to compare records
of life trustees with those of
elected trustees.
He also said that no Instance could
be shown where life trustees had
Ined up en masse on one side of a
question and the elected trustees on
the other. He hoped that certain
defects at Clemson have been remedied,
and the future of the Colloge
made brighter.
Certain political foemen In South
Carolina, he Bald, want to write his
obituary, but he Is well and hearty
and won't go until he has to. He
warned tho peonle neainst the ?'mc_
cals" and bade them keep their eye
on the State Legislature and the
lawmakers* at Washington.
Other speakers were Editor W. F.
Caldwell, of the Cheater Lantern:
Solicitor J. K. Henry. Col. T. R.
Butler, of GafTney; Mr. J. G. L. I
White, president of the Cheater
County Farmers' Unon, and Prof.
W. 9. Morrison, of Clemson College.
The day passed off quietly, the most
perfect order prevailing.
Masked Robbers.
Four maked men entered the
home of Charles Burlew, a store
keeper at West Pittbon, Pa., and
going to a room occupied by a merchant
and his wife, demanded of the
former the money he received from
his sales on Saturday. He refused
and was knocked insensible. The
intruders then hound and gagged
Burlew and his wife and ransacked
the room. After securing $300, the
men set fire to the house and fled.
Burlew and his wife were rescued.
Fiend Will Hang.
Rogers Merritt, a negro, was
Tuesday convicted In the Superior
court at Atlanta of criminal assault
upon Miss Maggie McDermott. 16
yearn old. on (he night of June_ 20

ONE MORE VICTIM.
Young Man's Brave Effort* Prove <

Driving Him Under.
Niagara rapids claims one one
more victim. A dispatch from there ?
Bays August Sparer, an eighteen- I
year-old boy, a resident of Niagara <
Falls, went to his death Monday In <
the whirlpool rapids after a gallant <
battle with the giant waves between I
the lower bridges and the pool. 1
With three companions Sporer went ;
for a swim in the river. He struck <
about at once for the middle of the <
stream and then turned toward the
bridges. His companions called to
him to turn back, for the current is
very swift at that point, but he kept
on down stream and was caught
in the great sweep, the first break
from the smoother waters to the
rapids.
The boy struggled for a time
against the current but to no avail.
Then, realizing that he was beyond
human help and was to be carried
through the rapid which took the
life of Capt. We6b, and which have
resisted every unaided human effort
at passage, he deliberately turned
down stream and began a grim fight
for life.
Not in all the history of the river
has such a brave effort been witnessed.
Although but a frail boy, he
went into the rnplds swimming
strongly and held his own until he
struck the giant wave which curls
up opposite the Old Battery elevator.
Then he went under and for a second
was lost to sight of the score of
people who stood on the lower arch
bridge.
Again and again he disappeared
only to reappear, each time fighting
desperately against the terrible current.
Then when within 300 yards
of the whirlpool his strength gave
out and he sank and was lost to
view.
Even then he had swum perhaps
100 yards farther than did the greRt
English swimmer, Capt. Webb.

I'nclo Sam Detains a Runaway
Couple From Prague.
ax mew iorit tne immigration officials
have shattered the romance of
nineteen-year-old Beatrice Mayer,
who left her husband of a few
months and eloped to this country
with her first sweetheart. Adolph
Grohman, a youth of twenty-three.
The young couple who have a plentiful
supply of money, and whoso refinement
apparently verifies their
claims to kinship with prominent
families at Prague, arrived in New
York on Monday. Mrs. Mayer was
accompanied by her maid and all
of them had first cabin passage.
They would not have been disturbed
in their desire to land had not a
cablegram preceded their arrival. It
was from Mrs. Mayer's husband, and
asked that they be detained at New
Torn. A special board of inquiry
has decided that the man and Mrs.
Mayer and her maid must be deported.
Before the board, Mrs. Mayer
made an impassioned ploa to be allowed
to land.
"Adolph was my school companion,
and we have loved each other
for years," she said. "We wanted
to marry, but my folks objected.
I resisted as long as I could, but
in the end they forced me into this
objectionable marriage. I never loved
my husband, but I do love Adolph.
After four months of marital trouble,
I decided that the only way to avoid
a life of trouble and unhappiness
whs to run away with Adolph."
RELICS OF TRACERY.
Fifteen Skeletons Are Found In Excavation.
In Washington fifteen skeletons
lying together in such a position as
to Indicate hasty buriai and three
English copper coins bearing the
date 1720, found with them during
the excavating for the United States
Medical School Hospital near the
banks of the Potomac, brings to
light, It Is believed, some Indian or
piratical tragedy of early American
days.
As authentic history sheds no illuminating
ray on the case, the finger
of suspicion wavers in its pointing
looking first toward the rem man,
who stole silently along the wooded
Potomac banks a century and a half
ago, then to a mythical pirate crew
which is believed to have made its
rendezvous in the upper Potomac,
and lastly to a mutiny-infested cave
trading vessel
But the bones may remain forever
as silent as when they were in their ,

Long Island life savers, after a
tlx hours' battle, added another victory
against the sea to their long list
jf remarkable rescues Tuesday, when
Lhey brought safely to land the capLain
and crew?seven souls in all?
from the three-masted schooner Arlington,
of Boston, which went
it-hore early Tuesday morning in the
driving rain and fog off Long Beach,
on the South shore of Long Island.
The eighth member of the crew,
Madden Pierson, a Swede, put off
from the schooner on a raft a line,
but was swept out to sea and lost
sight of. It is believed that he perished.
The rescue from the schooner
was witnessed by cheering guests of
the Nassau Hotel at Long Beach and
by hundreds of cottagers. The hotel
was indirectly responsible for the
vessel's plight, for Capt. Ira Smith,
after having lost his bearings, mistook
the glimmering lights in the
structure for those of a liner In midocean,
and thus misled ran aground.
The schooner, heavily laden with
Antbratlc, bound from New York
for Mayport, Fla., struck a sand bar.
Pounded by a heavy sea while a
terrific easterly gale was blowing,
she began to yield Immediately. The
captain and crew climbed out on the
bowsprit. The life savers reached
the scene toon after daylight.
They worked frantically, but In

six futile attempts they succeeded in
getting a surf boat through the
breakers to the lee of the wreck and
the rescue of the imperilled sailors
followed.
Aside from a broken ankle sustained
by the cabin boy and the suffering
incident to exposure, which
all sustained, no one was seriously
injured. The Arlington will be a
total loss.
LUNATIC KILLS HIMSELF.
Was an Inmate of the for
the Insane.
A Columbia dibpatch to The News
and Courier says Emanuel Roland,
a middle-aged white man from Aiken
county, an inmate of the State Hospital
for tho Insane, who tried to
kill himself several months ago while
on a railway train in the custody
of a guard, on his way to tho institution,
committed suicide late Monday
by falling thirty feet from the
lattice work on a porch to one of
the Asylum buildings. He lived only
a few moments after striking the
ground. The unfortunate man was
suffering from suicidal melancholia
and had been carefully watched since
ho entered the Institution.
It is stated that he was in the
yard of the Asylum Monday afternoon
with several other patients and
two nurses. While the attention of
the nurses was distracted for a moment
he climbed the lattice of a
veranda to the third story and either
let go his hold or jumped backward.
It Is said that the nurse tried to persuade
him to come down when he
was about half way up. The accident
although deplorable was unavoidable.
No blame can be placed
on any one.
Last spring when Boland was being
carried to the Asylum on the train,
he borrowed a knife from some one
and, while manacled, plunged it Into
his throat, inflicting an ugly wound.
When he arrived in Columbia he was
in a desperate condition. He recovered
from this self-inflicted injury,
only to end his life Monday.
FAMILY FOUND STARVING
In the Great City of Chicago in
Midst of Plenty.
Starving In sight of plenty is the
sad fate of a family in Chicago.
John Fitzgerald, 18 months old, is
dead of starvation, and his mother,
Mary Fitzgerald, is ill from the same
cause.
Three other children, all ill from
lack of food, passed Monday
night In the care of the police, and
will be taken to the juvenile homo.
These children are Helen, 10 years
old; Lilian, 8 years old, and Irene,
4 years old. i
Mrs. Fitzgerald and her family
were deserted by her husband on <
June 10. For the last few weeks i
family has had nothing to live on
except what was contributed by
obtained by pawning articles from
(he home, which already had been i
nearly stripped of its furnishings. i

"police graft
In New York Amounts to a Million
of Dollars in
v ???
HARD CASH PER YEAR
General Bingham, Police Commissioner
of New York, Says That He
Could Have Made at Least Six
Hundred Thousand Dollars in His
First Twelve Months in Office.
"I am asked to estimate the money
value of graft and blackmail in New
York each year. No one can make
such an estimate with accuracy, but
my belief is that the total is not
less than $100,000,000. During my
first year at the head of the police
department it would have been anj
easy matter for me to have inadfe
$600,000 in bribe money, and $1,000,000
would not have been an excessive
figure at all."
Thus writes Oeneral Theodore
Bingham in an article to he published
in the September number of the
Hampton'8 magazine, it is the first
public statement made by General
Bingham since his removal by Mayor
McClellau from the office of Police
Commissioner. He writes:
"The power of Tammany Hall
rests, and has rested for forty years,
upon its ability to control the police,
by fair means or foul. A strong
honest, fearless Police Commissioner,
suppoi'.ed by Police Magistrates
of ability and integrity and a mayor
big enough to conduct his office
without fear or favor, can sap and
utterly destroy Tammany influence
In ten years or even less, provided
he is empowered to dismiss and
transfer his subordinates for cause,
without recourse to the courts.
"I do not believe i am unfair in
estimating that from fifteen hundred
to two thousand members of
the force are unscrupulous grafters,
whose hands are always out for
easy money."
That this is known by the head
of the department and apparently
ignored is because the commissioner
is only nominal head of the force,
he states, while a policeman has office
for life. Discipline and the
question of vested interests should
be kept separate, he declares. Graft
is hidden in most city ordinances, he
says and were enacted to be broken
SO thnt snme nno i?nnlH nmlro
money from thorn. Ho continues:
"One day, shortly after my arrival
at Police headquarters an acquaintance
dropped Into my office.
"Commissioner," he said. "There
is a house at No. West Thirtythird
street, run very quietly. It
will be worth $10,000 a month to
you"?but the sentence was never
finished to my knowledge.
"As a matter of fact, the place
had never been opened, and the man
had been used as an agent to feel
out the department.
"A few months later I was offered
$5,000 in cash and $500 a
month merely to be seen shaking
hands with the proprietor of an upper
Broadway cafe."
General Bngham states as his belief
that gambling cannot be eliminated,
but that a reasonable law,
imposing heavy licenses and ironclad
restrictions can be enforced. Concerning
the Rogues' Gallery, the
controversy over which proved his
stumbling block, he states that it is
necessary to photograph criminals,
but adds that it should be settled
by a law not drawn in the interest
of criminals.
FEET TOUCH ON BODY.
Man Thus Located Under Water and
Was Rescued.
When Miss Ruth Rogers leaped
feet foremost from a r??t on Manhattan
beach at Chicago she touched
one of her feet on a body laying
in the bottom of the lake. Her
cries when she reached the surface
brought former Congressman Chas.
S. Wharton. Dr. W. H. Falke and
Dr. H. R. Clapp, who wece swimming
near.
Mr. Wharton dived and assured
himself that what Miss Rogers had
touched was really the body of a
man and after repeated efforts the
rescuers were successful in bringing
it to the surface. They were astonished
to find that breath still remained,
although the victim was unconscious.
When he had been resuscitated
after an hour's work, he said he was
John Tuzhockl, twenty-three years
old. He was unable to say how he
came into his plight, but It is belioved
by those who were at the
beach that in diving from a post
he struck a great rope stretched as
? life line and was rendered unconscious.

DESIGN ACCEPTED
FOR MONUMENT TO THE NOBLE
WOMEN OF THE SOUTH.
Beautiful, Elevating [Portrayal of
Self-Sacrlflcelng Devotion of Noble
Women of "I-iost Cause."
Befitting in nobility of conception
and beauty of execution the subject
It is to commemorate, the design for
the monument to women of the "lost
cause" has been completed. It Is
the work of a Dixie girl, Miss Belle
Kinney, of Nashville, Terfgk., and has
been accepted by several States. It
is probable that all the States which
left the union in the Civil War will
adopt the design and that replcas
of the monument will he nlnnori in
the capitols of each.
The design for the proposed monument
is very beautirul and elevatiug.
The central ligure, of heroic size, is
the Goddess of Fame. At her right,
the reclining figure, delicately featured,
beautiful, but with an expression
of exquisite sadness, represents
the self-sacrificing Southern womau
of the war time. Fame is represented
as placing a wreath upon the
Southern woman's head, while she
supports, at her left, a dying and
emaciated Confederate soldier, to
whom the Southern woman is extending,
even in death, the palm of
victory.
The design is such that it readily
lends itself to reproduction either of
marble or bronze.
A year or more ago the Daughters
of the Confederacy and the Sons
of Confederate Veterans decided upon
the erection of these monuments
in every State capitol ia Dixie. The
work was to have been done by an
Italian sculptor. When his design
was submitted at the late Confederate
reunion in Memphis, it-raised
a storm of protest. Tho artist had
pictured the Southern woman as
a militant and amazonion figure,
carrying in one hand a sword and
in the other the banner of the Lost
Cause.
This conception was so foreign to
the gentle, suffering and patient woman
of the Southland as thos-i who
loved her had known her, that the
design was rejected by an over
I wueiuiiug voie. ine arusi declined I
J to submit ano'her and Miss Kinney
tvae appealed to. Tennessee niA appropriated
$2,500 through the
Daugheters and Sons of the Confederacy
for a bronze cast of the design.
Other States are raising funds for
the purpose and It is believed bv
fall each of the former Confederate
States will have followed suit.
iMiss Kinney, the artist, is but 22
years of age and is nlroady a sculptor
of more than national fame.
She was recently awarded tha contract
for a heroic statute of the late
Senator Kdward W. Carmac.k, of
Tennessee, killed by the Coopers.
When but a child she received a prize
at the centennial in Nashville for a
bust of her fatner. She received
her education In art at the Art Institute
at Chicago and later studied
abroad. She was awarded the contract
for twenty Igorrote figures at
the Field Museum and has attracted
a great deal of attention in art circles
throughout the world.
RUTLKDGE COUNTY DEFEATED.
Doth Williamsburg and Clarendon
Voted it Down.
A dispatch from Lake City, which
town expected to be the county seat
of the new county, says the proposition
to form the new county o^
Rutledge out of portions of Williamsburg
and Clarendon was voted
on by the voters in the sections affected
Tuesday and the result was
a victory for those who are opposed
to the formation of the county by
a little over two hundred vtes. The
Williamsburg portion of the propos
tui county gave 8Z3 votes for the
new county and 415 against. The
Clarendon voters. whose precinct
was Sandy Grove, gave 4 5 for the
new county and 25 against. The
new county to have won required
831 votes in Williamsburg county
and 51 votes in Clarendon. So the
proposition was voted down in both
Williamsburg and Clarendon counties.

Carried on by People Who Pretend
to Ik" Honest nnd Friends of Their
Victims?Shocking Discovery is
Mude by the Detectives of the Immigration
Department.
The crusade ngalnst evils in the
management of Immigrant aid societies
in New York, which began
Tuesday with the barring of two
Societies from Ellis Island, has
shown conditions which officials declare
will be called to the attention
of Congress, at next session. In
an Interview a few days ago Representative
S. Benuet, a member of the
commih^ion appointed by congress
lu 1907 to investigate immigration
problems says that an inquiry by the
commission lias shown tbat 76 per
cent of the so-called homes in New
York have perverted the purposes for
which they were organized.
The most serious charge made by
Mr. Bennel is that agents for disreputable
resorts have been able to
go to the homes and obtain girls,
newly nrrived from foreign countries,
who believed that they were
about to find employment in desirable
places. The ageuts havo paid
from $10 to $15 a piece for the glrlB
thus recruited, he says.
The commission in getting at the
facts here and in other cities, employed
detectives who posed as
agents fob questionable resorts.
They had no difficulty it is said, in
obtaining girls from the officials of
certain homes.
Similar evils havo been found by
the commission to exist in other
American cities, and the crusade
against them s likely to extend to
several parts where large numbers
of imigrants arrive. The commis

next March.
The communication made public
bv Commissioner of Immigration
Williams, in which he called attention
to certain evils existing; in immigration
homes in this city, revoking
the privilege which two of them
had long enjoyed of sending thflr
representatives to E1119 Island, only
scraped the crust of a situation, the
details of which are appalling.
The investigation of tho immigrant
homes is not confined to the
immigrant authorities here. President
Taft has been informed of the
evils existing, and both he and Secretary
Nagel of the department of
commerce and labor are anxious that
the most stringent methods be employed
to stan^p out. for many
months the Immigrant commission
which is separate and distinct from
the immigration service, has been investigating
these matters and today
Representative Bennet told somethings
of what it had done.
In getting at the facts the commission
employed its own detectives?
women who posed as agents for ques- 1
tionable resorts. They had no difficulty
getting girls, and invariably
when these girls were questioned, it
developed that they thought they
were going to a place of quite another
character than they had been
hired for.
In applying for girls to work for
them tho agents of the disreputable
resorts, Mr. Bennet says, did not
stipulate that they wanted them to 1
go as Inmaes. "They didn't need to
go In to the life unless they wished i
to," the agents were careful to say. i
Mr. Bennet was not ready to give
the names of any of these homes, '
which he gave so black a character. 1
but It is safe to say that the reports
of the commission, when It is made, 1
at Washington, will be n startling i
one. It is also to be expected that i
the homes which have perverted the !
avowed purpose for which they were 1
organized will be put out of busi- I
ness with scant ceremony. 1
