kF I
t I Leader of Cemocratic Minority in
House Speaks in Spartanburg.
Ip Reverts to Affair Which Oc>
curred in Statesboro, Ga.
_. ??
I 'In compliance with a promise made _
I several months ago, Hon. John Sharp
It Williams delivered a vigorous and tell|
ing address to the people of Spartanburg,
S. C., liYiday in which he discussed
the causes that operated for
r* democratic defeat in the recent na'
tional election, and political and in- 1
dustriai conditions as they affect <he
south today.k
I'-. ? ;
He referred at length to the recent
1 . lynching at Statesboro, Ga., where
tried and convicted prisoners were taken
from the court house and the
guard of state militia and burned, de.
^ claring that the use of this argument
resulted in the loss of nearly half a
million popular votes to the democratk
1c side.
ft He attributed democratic defeat to
" * . tv-sf tKa
^ wree zmilll Circumaiauuco. jruoi, uiv
* use of unlimited trust funds by the
> republican party, the overwhelming
v personal popularity of Theodore
Boosevelt and the specious arguments
pressed home by the republican orators,
that democracy was unsafe and
had resulted in financial disaster
.when triumphant. He ridiculed the
; - weak-kneed brethren and paraphrased
< the solemn observation of Mark
Twain, declaring that the reports of
J democracy's death had been grossly
exaggerated.
Mr. Williams spoke in part as fol:
l lows: , .
We have just undergone an overwhelming
defeat. I make no excuse
for saying "we" to this audience. As
for myself, I am a democrat if I dwelt
. In Vermont or New Hampshire, in
Michigan or California. Thomas JefV
ferson has been the * Gamaliel at
whose feet I have sat This, however,
is not true of all the white men in
our section who belong to the democratic
party. Some would le republicans,
some populists and some socialists,
save for the fact that the;- are
.. white men and that the democratic
party has necessarily become for them
the party of the white man's civiliza-1
* tion, owing to the fact that its great
opponent has aflways sought and worked
for the Africanization of the south.
The white men of the south did not
f. come into the democratic party for
the purpose of raising a race issue.
K The republican party created that issue,
chose its race and deliberately set
\ itself up as the black man's party in
j the south. It did it, feeling selfishly'
I' assured that it was then the strongest
ff position politically, anticipating that
k - "white men would divide in their pot
litical allegiance and that the ignorant
i negroes couid be held solidly to the
republican faith, because the poor
darkey never understood and does not
understand now anything about the
" question of an industrial or fiscal character
which divide the two parties.
A great deal lately has been said
about the "solid south." These same
people said nothing about a solid negro
south, created by them and virtually
maintained by them down to
1875. The republican party, having
deliberately and of a set purpose
* lino VlQT-ln or vnttria A
arawn une r?n.c uuv, ++*??^ ?
bid for the negro vote as pre-eminently
the negro party, now accused us of
race prejudice because we were
forced?compelled, whether we would
or not?to accept the alignment which
it drew. What they call race prejudice
you know and I know to be race
knowledge. The white men of the
south will hardly split up in their
votes until the negroes first do. j
ARMISTICE AT PORT ARTHUR.
Combatants are Allowed Cix Hours to
Bury Heaps of Dead.
Advices from Tokio state that the
first armistice between the oombatants
at Port Arthur was declared on
December 2 for the purpose of burying
the dead. It lasted for a period
of six hours.
v? Port Arthur besiegers report that
hearers of flags of truce in the direction
of the left wing arranged for a
partial armistice to extend from 10 j
o'clock in the morning to 4 in the afternoon
for the removal of the dead
and wounded.
STATUS OF ARMIES UNCHANGED.
Long Rett of Russians and Japs Remains
Unbroken.
According to reports from the Japanese
headquarters in Manchuria, the
position of the two armies is practically
unchanged. There has been no
fighting, save outpost scouting, skir-.
xnishes and occasional Russian bombardments,
which are usually unanswered.

FAIR GATES ARE CLOSED.
Great Exposition at St. Louis Passes
Into History?People ofCity and
State Honor President Franeie.
Thursday, December 1st, was the
closing day of the Louisana Purchase
exposition at St. Louis. With beautiful
weather prevailing, with the gates
thrown open to children and to those
who were worthy but had been unable
to attend from pecuniary reasons, thousands
visited the fair for the last time.
President David R. Francis was the*
guest of honor and ceremonies were
conducted commemorating the services
he rendered in making the exposition
a success, and at the same time bidding
far&weU to the world's fair, the
magnificence and greatness of which
have been heralded and acknowledged
throughout the entire world.
It was e stimated that the attendance
pn the closing day was in the neighborhood
of a record breaker.
That every citizen of St. Louis might
participate in the wind-up of the exposition
and help observe ''Francis day."
Thursday was proclaimed a nonaay oj
Mayor Wells. Governor Dockery likewise
had proclaimed a holiday in the
state. The crowds that poured into the
city on the early trains attested to the
fact that the proclamation was observed.
Public schools were closed, as
were many business houses.
From the inception of th$ project to
hold the exposition until the gates
^ere thrown open and the world was
invited to enter, occupied a period of
seven years. The duration of the exposition
has been seven months, and
during that time nothing has occurred
to throw a dampening effect on the
interest or to detract from the exposition
in any way. The best order
has been maintained throughout, and
there have been but few fires, but all
of small moment, with the exception
of the House of Hoo Hoo, and the partial
destruction of the Missouri building
recently. No loss of life has occurred
during the exposition from accidents.
St. Louis has proffered her
most gracious hospitality to the world,
and it has been accepted.
While it will be impossible to obtain
the actual receipts and expenditures
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
company before 'the middle
of December, Secretary Walter B.
Stevens, of the world's fair, made the
following statement to the Associated
Press Thursday night:
- "From reports that have been submitted
of the admissions to the
grounds up to 9 o'clock tonight, we
estimate that the attendance on 'Francis
Day' will be a few thousands in
SfcAA AAA 4-VI Q > fhft Q f.
excess ol ?vu,vw, ouu Vu?? .??
tendance for the exposition period will
be In the neighborhood ^f 18,000,000.
"In round numbers, the exposition
company expended $22,000,000 since
the Inception of the world's fair project
and the expenditures of the several
states and territories have reachamounted
to about $10,000,000, consisting
of admissions and concession royed
a total of $9,000,000. The receipts
since the opening day, April 30, have
alties.
"While it is impossible to state exactly
the financial condition of the exposition
company on this, the closing
day, it can be authoritatively announced
that all debts against the company
have been paid with the exception
of a few current accounts, such
as salaries, etc., and these will, it is
thought, consume nearly all the surplus,
so that there will only be a very
small amount left for the stockholders."
"Prom the amount of royalties collected
by the exposition company, it
is estimated that the concessionaires
of the pike and other parts of the
world's fair grounds have taken in at j
least $10,000,000."

I
I AGREEMENT IS REACHED j
I
I
State Railroad Commission Withdraws
Circulars 301 and 302, and
Whole Matter is Left to a
New Tribunal.
___
.
Litigation over f; eight rates which
| has been in progress :for some weeks
i in the United States court, at AtlanI
ta, ended abruptly last Wednesday^
I
: and the question has been removed
1 to a very different sort of tribunal
; the executive officers themselves of '
i the southern railroads, who have full 1
i power to act. i
| By an agreement between counsel 1
i for the railroad commission and the
Atlanta Freight Bureau, on the one 1
hand, s.nd the attorneys for the rail!
roads on the other, circulars 301 and
302, in which the railroad commission
promulgated the objectionable 1
| reduced rates, were revoked by the
; commission; thereupon the suits
I brought by the railroads for injunc
I uon were dismissed and tne wnoie|
litigation was thus terminated,
i As a basis for this agreement, this
I dropping of the whole legal phase of
: the question there was only the prom;
ise of Colonel Ed Baxter, of Nashville,
that he would advise his clients, the
i executive officers of the southern
i roads, to use every'effort to so revise
the rate situation as to satisfy
! the Georgia railroad commission. Col!
unel Baxter did not promise he would
| accomplish anything, but only that he
! would advise. However, such is the
; confidence in Colonel Baxter's ability
i to handle the situation, that the ati
torneys for the state are pleased and
' gratified that the matter has taken
this direction.
It was Colonel Baxter's own suggestion
which opened the way for this
| agreement. The executive officers of
the railroads of the south will hold
j an imixjrtant meeting in New York
on Monday next, December 5, for the
; purpose of considering the whole ot
i the prevailing rate adjustment from
; the Potomac river to the Mississippi.
It is at this same meeting that
the railroad officials will consider the
oomplaint made by Atlanta through
the committee of seven appointed by
UatttoII
iUO/ yJL XXV n VIA*
Atlanta's complaint and the atti!
tude of the railroad commission have
a very intimate connection. Here there
was opportunity to consider at least,
I perhaps to definitely settle, the whole
1 vexed question, >.
"If you will withdraw circulars 301
| and 302," said Colonel Baxter to coun- j
, sel for the railroad commission, "I j
will aclvise my clients to make every
! effort to revise the present rate adj
justment. Then if such revision
should not be satisfactory to you, your
commission is left free .to take such
action as it deems proper."
This seemed satisfactory to Attor- .
! ney General Hart and the other attor- ;
; neys for the commission; conferences i
| followed with the result that the litl- :
gation was terminated.

OVER BILLION OF GOLD.
United States Holds More than Fourth
of World's Supply 0f th? Precious
Metal.
A Washington special says: The
director of the mint, in his annual report,
shows that the output of the
coinage mints at Philadelphia, San
Francisco and New Orleans, which
were in operation throughout the fiscal
year, wa3 the largest on record. It estimates
the gold stock of the world
to use as money on December 31, 1903,
at approximately $5,600,000,000 of
which about one-half is visible
r ?
in banks and public treasuries.
The estimate for the stock of the
United States at that time is $1,300,000,000,
of which $850,000,000 was in
the treasury and national banks.
During the year the mint's assay office
sold $22,924,719 worth of gold bars
and 2,696,390 fine ounces of silver for
use in the arts and manufactures,
while private refineries sold $3,248,843
worth of gold and 17,196,166 fine
ounces or silver ior me same pur-.
pose.
Estimating for the amount of coin
melted and deducting old .material
used, the net consumption in the year
Is estimated to have been, gold, $24,377,962;
silver 20,749,743 ounces. The
total domestic coinage of the Philadelphia,
San Francisco and New Orleans
mints amounted in value to $228,202,151,
while the number of pieces executed,
including tho coinage for the
Philippines, Venezuela and Costa Rica
was 219,353,442.
PRINTERS' CLUB INJOINED.
Blosser Company at Atlanta Vfins Suit
in Superior Court.
Judge J. H. Lumpkin, of the superior
court, at Atlanta, Ga., Friday afternoon,
granted an interlocturory injunction
to the Dr. Blosser Company,
against the Employing Printers' Club,
Foote & Davies, et a!., restraining the
defendants from interfering in any
way with the business or the labor
of the plaintiff.
" * A* Ktt
Tins mjmcuon is uuusiucicu uj uq
plaintiff to be a great victory, as the
representatives of the company state
it Is more sweeping than the first restraining
order, and will last longer,
remaining in effect from the present
time until the final disposal of the
case, unless the order is changed or
revoked by the judge at some future
time.
The case is of interest to the people
of Atlanta on account of the events
which led up to the filing of the suit
and the prominence of the parties concerned.
One of the biggest strikes in the
history of the typographical union was
caused by this contention between the
Dr. Blosser Company and the Employing
Printers' Club, for a while the
printing trade of the city being almost
at a standstill.
DUEL IN ENGINE CAB.
Negro Fireman and Brakeman Fight
Deadly Battle Unmolested.
Will Thomas, a negro fireman, and

The train was running toward a
tank in DeKalb county, Ga., at forty
miles an hour, when Brasmon began
throwing coal at Thomas.
Thomas stuck his knife into Brasmon
and the latter pulled a pistol and
fired several times, inflicting a death
jeound upon Thomas.
Engineer Shepard was unable to interfe^
as he had to keep his eyes on
the track ahead. Brasmon is in jail

Port .Arthur Now Admitted to
Be Surely Doomed.
DEADLY BLOW IS STRUCK
Summit of 203-Meter Hill Occupied By
Beseigers and Town and Harbor
are at Mercy of Big
Guns.
The official announcement was
sent out from Tokio Thursday that the
Japanese have occupied the summit
of 203-Meter hill, at Port Arthur. This
Important position has been the object
of severe and continuous fighting,
and cable reports, from time to
time, have indicated that many men
have been sacrificed in the effort to
capture it The position designated is
a dominating point in the range which
lies to the westward of the town of
Port Arthur, and according to reports
it commands artillery range of the
harbor and a portion of the main

the citadel or main defenses is three
to four miles. Reports from both To*
kio and St. Petersburg indicate that
isolated engagements of a more or
less severe nature are occurring
along the front of the Manchurian armies,
but it is not apparent that the
main forces are engaged.
The correspondent at Chefoo of
The London Daily Telegraph says that
the attack on ^ 203-Meter, hill resulted
in heavy losses to the first division of
the Japanese stormers. Simultaneously
with this assault, the crorespondent
says, the men of the Ninth and
Eleventh divisions advanced and menaced
the Rihlung and Kekwan forts.
It is stated, the correspondent adds,
that within twenty-four hours the
Japanese casualties have totalled 15,-'
000, and it is asserted that the attacks
have been planned to continue until
December 10, when it is hoped the
capture of Port Arthur will be completed.
Rejoicing in Tokio.
A Tokio special says: General Nogi's
telegram announcing the storming
and capturing of 203-Meter hill
was received with cheers by the Jap- ;
anese people. It revives the hope of
an early capture of Port Arthur proper.
December 1st was the date set under
the conscription act when recruits
could join the army. Thousands of
recruits marched to the barracks and
donned uniforms for the first time.
Following an honored custom, the relatives
of the recruits carried flags
and banners, and escorted the new
soldiers to the barracks. In Toklo
there were scores of little processions I
escorting detachments of popular conscriptions.
The number of men who have Joined
the colors under the conscription act
has not been made public.
Commands the Harbor.
A St Petersburg dispatch says: The
a?r office here is not yet prepared to
accept the report that the Japanese
before Port Arthur hhve taken 203Meter
hill, but it ij officially confirmed
that the war office admits that it will
be a desiderate blow for the gallant
defenders of the fortress.
The posiiion commands the harbor,
and if the Japanese can mount siege
guns on its summit they oan force out
the Russian squadron or destroy it at
Its anchorage. Those laminar with
the supporting plans of the forts think
it is by no means certain that eveh
though the Russians are forced to retire
from 203-Meter hill the Japanese
can place in position heavy guns,
against the fire which the other forts
can bring to bear on it. Still the war
officials reluctantly agree that such a
breach in the chain renders the position
extremely critical and though
the garrison might be able to hold out
in the Golden Hill, Tigers Tail and
Liaotien forts for some time, it may
mark the beginning of the end.
