He was warmly greeted on the streetnamUlff the court house by old friends and admirers. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. D. D. Dantzler. Then Hon. I. W Bowman introduced Sen ator Tillman in a very few words as the greatest South Carolinian and one of the foremost statesmen of the times The senator, as he arose was greeted most enthusiastically on all sides. He opened his address by referring to his former visits to Orangeburg, and said he felt some what embarrassed this time because a fee was charged to hear him. He said this was done by the ladies at his suggestion as a means to help along the grand cause they wejo wishing for, and that be was glad to be able to contribute, by .bib time and labor,” to the establish rent of a hospital where the afflicted could be treated without going to some other city. Senator fillfan then took up the race problem and discussed it in calm and dispassionate manner There was no bitterness In speech towards the negro as a race but he painted out the great'dan ger that cohfronted the South in the years to come when the present means used to curtail the negro vote will no longer be applicable. He said it was a lementable fact that more negro children were attending school in South Carolina than white children, and that it was a question of time only when there would be more negro voters in this State than white voters. He' said that the framers of the present constitution went as far as they could In disfran chising the negro without disfran chising white men, which he said would never do. He thought the day would come, unless present conditions . were changed, when the whites would di vide and the negro would be brought in by the two factions of the white people to settle their po litical disputes. He referred to the fact that no election on any ques tion could be settled now In -this State without the charge of fraud being charged against one side oi the other. He cited as an evidence of what he meant by referring to the frequent cohtests over dispen sary elections and new county elec tions. He said these contests be tween' Vhlte people encouraged the negro to hope for political powei some day, and he thought the white people should stop it and settle theii, troubles without ‘so much qutrrel : ing among themselves. Senator Tillman paid a grand and beautiful tribute to the womanhood of the South, Who, he said, would keep the race pure, but he scored In searching terms white men who were guilty of the great wrong to theii 1 race of raising colored families. Hr said all such men were the worst enemies the South had, and that ^hey should be made to leave the South In broad, open daylight, nevei to return. As usual with the sen ator, k® did not mince his wordf when on this branch of his theme but talked out plain and In unmis takable language. He told of some of his experiences in speaking to Nortehrn people. He said the peo ple of the North were having their eyes opened about the conditions at the South and that they were will ing for the South to settle the race question‘’If it was limlnated from politics. He said the Northern, people had so few negroes among them that the race question did not' r"**-**** then as It did the people of the South. He said the negro up North was like ote dead fly in a pan of milk, which could "be swallowed by the people of that section without much Inconvenience, but in the South the conditions were reversed. Here, hj said, we would have to swallow i pan full of dead flies-with hardl> enough milk to cover them. This happy illusion’ brought down the house. Senator ‘.Tillman s speech was a splendid o_ne all the way thro ugh.. He thou ght the splutter of life problem was in giving each State the right to regulate the auL frage question. The above is only an imperfect synopsis of Senatoi jlHipan’n nppprh, which would have to be heard to be appreciated. It was a great speech, add was thor oughly enjoyed by all who heard it He certainly converted his audienct to his way of thinking on the tre meudous race problem that wil have to be rolyed by the people oi the South sooner or later. Senator Tillman’s reference in county' - dispute was cheered to the echo by the ad voc ites of Calhoun county w ho were in the audience^ While at dlnnei Senator Tillman was told that the pre sent contest a gain si Calhoun county was brought by. white men who wpre not allowed to vote o’ the question, and he said if that was the case the ' supreme couri ought, and he believed would, de- c 1 ire the. election illegal as no white u.an should be denied his right tc vote.
