% SOME OLD F IRE Senator Til'man Makes a Red' Hot Speech ard WARNS THE PEOPLE j Ho PisiussOs (ho Kaoo (Question and Says President Tuft's Mission to South Carolina is to Organize a Itopuhlitan Party Out of Uenogado I White Men and iSogroos. Senator Tfllman spoke to a largo crowd of attentive listeners on Saturday at Ileath Springs. His speech had much Are and snap, and he seemed to he himself physically once more. His speech was received with a great doal of enthusiasm, and ho! was frequently interrupted by applause. Ho seems to be as popular as ever with, the masses, as is shown by the largo crowds that greet him. 1 The Senator spoke in part as fol- i lows: "1 give you no promise of oratory, as I do not put words together just j to hoar the jingle, but expross ideas that moan something. In the first place I find that I have made a mis- | take today. 1 failed to got permis- | si on of (ho editor of The State to make a speech. I "In liia comments on one of my i speeches recently 1 was accused of; being uneasy about my political fences. He accused me of being | afraid I would not bo re-elected to : the United States senate. 1 have i the consolation of knowing I have, four years more yet. The editor of Tho Stale who lies awake and dreams . dreams and wants to write my obitnary lias already written my politi- J cal obituary, but by tho help of God 1 intend to stay around a fow more years to worry him. "I promised to deliver some lec* turns in Ihe West and as there was nothing doing f proceeded to carry out my contracts. My political en- j emics and editors never learned of , my absence until my colleague got hack to Washington, then they raised a torrfble howl. Did Mr. Smith do any good after he got hack? Could , 1 have done any good by being there? j I could not have changed results J at all. The State forgets that State ' politics have changed and is not run j by a fow editors. "You have too much intelligence [ to ho led around by the nose now. j You elected me governor twice and to tho senate threo times. It looks like you have respect for me and oon fid once fn me. The claim that I . (Should not meddle in State politics is not well fonnded.

Refitting 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" lias been completed. It is the work of a Dixie girl, Miss Belle Kinney, of Nashville, Term., 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 repicas of the monument will bo placed in the capitols of each. The design for the proposed monument is very beautirul and elevating. The central figure, of heroic size, is the CJoddess of Fame. At her right, the reclining figure, delicately featured, beautiful, but with an expression of exquMte sadness, represents the self-sac.i iflcing Southern woman of the war time. Fame is represented a,s 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 those monuments in every State eapitol in Dixie. The work was to have been done bv an Italian sculptor. Whon his design was submitted at the late Confederate reunion in Memphis, it raised i storm of protest. The 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 thus-* who loved her had known her, that the design was rejected by an overwhelming vote. Tho artist declined to submit ano'her and Miss Kinney was appealed to. Tenueesoo hao appropriated $2,500 through the Daughetors and Sons of the Confedeiacy for a bronze cast of the design. Other States are raising funds tor the purpose and it is believed bv fall each of the former Confederate States will have followed suit. Miss Kinney, the artist, is but 22 years of age and is already a sculptor of more than national fame. She was recently awarded the contract for a heroic statute of the late Senator Edward W. Carmack, of Tennessee, killed by the Coopers. When but a child she received a prize at the centennial in Nashville for a bust of her father. 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 lias attracted a great deal of attention in art circles t hrou ir limit. tli? wnrlil. * UUTUEDGE COUNTY DEFEATED. both 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 now county of llutledge out of portions of Williamsburg and Clarendon was voted on by the voters in the sections affected Tuesday and tho result was a victory for those who are opposed to the formation of tho county by a little over two hundred vtes. The Williamsburg portion of tho proposed county gave 823 votes for tho new county and 4 15 against. The Clarendon voters, whoso precinct was Sandy Grove, gave 45 for the new county and 2 5 against. Tho 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.

HIDEOUS CRIME Hidden by Charity's Cloak in New York City. WHITE SUVE TRAFFIC Curried on l>y People Who Pretend to llr Honest und Friends of Their Victims?Shocking Discovery i? Mmlo by (ho Detectives of the Immigration Department. Tho crusado against evils in the management of immigrant aid societies in New York, which began Tuesday with the barring of two societies from Ellis Island, lias shown conditions which ollicials declare will be called to the attention of Congress, at next session. In an Interview a few days ago Representative S. Rennet, a member of the communion appointed by congress in 1907 to investigate immigration problems says that an inquiry by the commission has shown that 7 5 per which they were organized. The most serious charge made by cent of the so-called homes in New York have perverted the nurnoses for Mr. Rennet is that agents for disreputable resorts havo been able to go to the homes and obtain girls, newly arrived from foreign countries, who believed that they were about to And employment in desirable places. The agents have paid from $10 to $15 a piece for the girls thus recruited, he says. The commission in getting at the facts here and in other cities, employed detectives who posed as agents fofi questioirablo resorts. They had no difficulty it Is said, in obtaining girls from the ollicials of certain homes. Southern States BUT PR* IVi ioh!n?>ry \j/ Plumbing a? iif.?j3f OOL.U M e tViUST NOT KiiS STAT K HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS IT IS VKHY HAD. The Young People of Iowa Don't Take Kindly to the Crusado Made Against Kissing. Iowa, tho greatest agricultural State in the Middle West, has decided 011 a new venture, and will now raise a crop of unkissed girls. It is not a freak determination, or a desire of the State to get its name in the papers, it is &imply a part of its crusade against the great white plague. Someone bamboozled tho State legislators into believeing that whenever two pairs of lips met about 1 4,000,000 germs held high jinks, and they promptly passed a law creating the oflice of "State Government Lecturer on Health," and then decided to pay Aretar Ed ward * Kepford $1,f>00 a year if he would carry it around with him. The neighbors all said that Mr. Kepford was a nice fellow, but that he did have some funny notions about kissing. He not only had them but he has succeeded in foisting them off upon tho rest of the neonlo I In the State, for the "State Government Lecturer on Health" in his war upon the great white plague in his State is laying great stress on his anti-kissing campaign. Hut this isn't the worst of it. Prof. Kepford's crusade aganst osculation is growing. Of course it is not exceeding any speed limits among the young people, but it is with the babies and in the younger grades of the public schools that it is being waged fiercest. Mothers ! and fathers have pledged themselves to bring tip their children unkissed. Schoolteachers have sworn that the dangers of osculation sliall be as carefully presented to the pupils as the daily portions of geography or1 arithmetic. Of course it is a little early to tell what the children them- i selves will do about it when they reach the age where the kissing bug gets in its greatest lick, but they ought to be pretty well trained by that time. Two t h n 11 ?n ?l rl colinnHnonliniin ? . ? v..w v.wv*.?v? ?jv,iiwv/i IVCIV.I1CI n HUTU pledged Mr. Kepford tholr earnest support in stamping out the kissing j habit. They never had it, and don't see why any one else should evince a willingness to acquire it. Kepford has had thousands of little signs, bearing the words, "Don't kiss me," and he's getting rid of a number of them among the parents of very young children. Crusader Kepford started out to fight the great white plague, but the object of his quest seems to have been diverted to a systematic fight on kissing. His critics do not contend that he is off tho track, but they do ask the true meaning of his effort to have a number of local philanthropists offer a prize of $100 to each unkissed girl of 15, with an ^J..~ . t o o r 11 ? t?wwv?j yi jiic ui uuuuaiiy ror every year she goes unklsscd until married. As yet the philanthropists have not materialized, but Crusader Kepford has hopes. Men, philanthropists and otherwise, are studying this particular phase of the great crusade. ARKANSAS RIVKR OVERFLOWS. Railroads Washed Away and People i Are Homeless.

Alarmed at another cloudburst at Four Mile crock near Canyon City Thursday night, score of residents in the lower section of Pueblo and other points passed the night in removing their household effects to safety. The famous Royal Gorge with walls a thousand feet high, has been washed by the torrent for almoet 48 hours and the railroad tracts have KoOV* #1 An* J i/cv/ii m-ouu/tiU. Trains on the Colorado Midland, Denver and Rio Grando and other railroads, most of them carrying Eastern tourists, have been detoured over long routes, and It Is said that the detourlng of trains of trains will be necessary for four or five days. M Iv In a net sortrae T5B9S5s&*5rw9HH2i sites oi sH^te Similar evils have 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 commission will report to congress early next March. The communication made public by 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 their representatives to Ellis Island, only scraped the crust of a situation, the details of which aro appalling. The investigation of the 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 Rennet told somethings of what It had done. In getting at the facts the commission employed its own detectives? women who posed as agents for questionable 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 the agents of the disreputable resorts, Mr. Rennet says, did not stipulate that they wanted them to go as Inmaes. "They didn't need to go in to the life unless they wished to," tho agents were careful to say. Mr. Rennet was not ready to give the names of any of these homes, which he gave so black a character, but it is safe to say that the reports of tho commission, when it Is made, at Washington, will he a startling one. It is also to be expected that the homes which have perverted the avowed purpose for which they were organized will be nut out nf i?n?u ness with scant ceremony. A SLICK OltOOK. Worked ft Slick Came on ft Private Detective. Thomas D. Stewart, the head of a private detective agency in Pittsburg, has reported to the Chicago polico that he was robbed of $500 in money and jewelry while stopping at a downtown hotel in the lake city. He went to Chicago in company with a man who had offered to lead 1 him to the man who, ho said, was ! responsible for tho dynamiting of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge near Pittsburg several months ago and for whom there is a reward of $5,000 offered. The detective and his guide slept in tho same room at the hotel, and when the forme woke up one morning he found his companion and all hjis valuables gone.
