All questions, o'f fact wer* decided in favor of tho now county, tho ono point upon which tho eloction was doclarod null and void being the dlsfranchisment of voters within the now county lines whoso precincts woro outside, thereby depriving them of xorclslng their right of suffrage. Chairman Bowman stated that the board was of tho opinion that the Act pnssed by the Legislature gov erning tho formation of new counties was unseonstltutlonal In that it rando no provision for thone elector? who woro soporuted from their pre ducts to cast their ballots on ques tions lu which they were directly in terested, as guaranteed tinder the law. It will be noticed that tho Board of Commissioners auataina the con tention of the Orangoburg Times and Democrat that no white Democrat whether for or against the now county, should bo deprived of lil? right to voto on a matter that so vitally concerns him. Tho Times and Democrat has made a gallant fight for these disfranchised Democrats mentioned by the Board of Commis sioner^; and it naturally fools elated on being sustained by tho intelligent gentlemen composing lt.

When he learned of the decision of the Board of Commissioners Mr. Welch, attorney for the new county promotora,'elated that, the only sur prise was that the decision was un animous, the new county promoter? expecting to" have nt leant one vote.

Of eourso it goos without saying that night Is not tho only time for sleep. Men and women whw are bu3y could steal Just a few mlntues before. - or after thc noonday luncheon to catch a little tvip, and, indeod, I am nearly sure that the noonday nap ist worth far more- than the noonday moil, for the digestive processes are surely hindered during tho periods of mental activity, and lt ls tko excep tional person in this busy world of oura who is not called upon to use ali bis brain and brawn to make a living. lt has been my habit to advise moth ers to steal a while away from every "cumbrous care." and. even if sleep fails to be wooed, to take about 20 minutes every day in absolute pence from all anxieties an! relaxing all the muscles.

In accordance with previous au, nouncement Senator D. xi- Tiiiman delivered an address on Wednesday to a large r audience o? ladies and gentlemen on the race problem. The audience was composed largely of city people, the- bad roads no doubt preventing ninny people from the country coming In to hear the distinguished speaker, as they would have liked to do. The court house, whore the meeting was held, waa comfortably filled, one-third of the audience being ladlos.' Senator Tillman arrived in thc city on tho Atlantic Coast Lino train on Tuesday afternoon, ut 5 o'clock and was niot by Capt. Claffy, Shorlfi Dukes, Clerk of Court SalJey, Hon. I. Vf.

H? WUK warmly greeted on, the street and in the court house by old friends and admirers. The meeting wus opened with prayer by Rev. D. D. Dantzler. Th ;n Hon. I. W Bowman Introduced Sen ator Tillman in a very few words as the greatest South Carolinian and one of tho foremost statesmen of thc times Tho senatopj aB ho arose, was greeted most enthusiastically on all sidos. He opened his address by referring to his former visitB to Orangeburg, and said he folt some what embarrassed this time because, a fee waa charged to hear him. Ile. said this was done by the ladles i/b his suggestion as a means to help along the grand cairne they weiid 3 rori - . fry to b? able to contribute, by his time and labor, to th? establlsu fent of a hospital where the afflicted could be treated without going to some other city. Senator Tlllfun then took up tho race problom and discussed It in a calm and ' diBpasslonate mannor. There was no bitterness In his speech towards tho negro us a race, but be painted out the great dan ger that confronted the South in the years to come when the present moans used to curtail the negro voto will no longer be applicable. He said it wus a lementable fact that more negro ohlldren were attending school iu South Carolina than white children, and thot lt woa a question of time only when there would b? more negro voters in this State than white voters. He said that the framers of the present constitution went ?B far as they could in disfran chising the negro without disfran chising white men, which lie said would never do. He thought th? day would come, unless present conditions were ehanged, when th? whiten would di vld? and the negro would bc brought in by the two factions ol the white people to nettle their po litical disputes. He referred to the fact that no election on any ques tion could h? aettled now in this State without th? charge , of .fralid being charged, against on? side Ol the other. He cited as an evidence of what h? meant by referring to th? frequent oontests over dlspen ?ary elections and new county elec tions. He said these contests be tween white people encouraged thc negro to hope "lor political powet Home day, and b? thought the white people ohould stop lt and settle theji troubles without ,6o. much quarrel ing among themselves. Senator Tillman, paid a* grar?d 'and beautiful tribute to th? womanhood of the South, who, he said, would keep the race pure, but he scored In ?catching terms white men who were guilty of (he great wrong lo theil' rac? of raising oolored families. IB said nil such men were the worst enemies th? South had, and that they should be made to leave*' thc South In broad, open daylight, nevoi lo return.
