PASSED THE HOUSE ? - c BILL PROHIBITS WHITES TEACHING NEGRO STUDENTS ' W ? 1 IN SCHOOLS IN STATE It AI?h> Prohibits Negroes Teaching $ c ia White Schools, White Women c Nursing Negroes in Hospitals and c Has Other Sweeping Provisions to s the Mixing of the Haces. \ The first real figlit that lias taken t place in the general assembly this I session occurred in the House on < Tuesday over a bill prohibiting! whites teaching in negro schools or whites nursing negroes In hospitals. I The bill was passed by a decided vote. ? The bill as passed by the House, i after a dozen roll calls and the most < vigorous manner of lighting, reads as t follows: t () A X A A _ l ^ ji i-iiiien'u oy mo uonoral As- i sembly of tho Stato of South Caro- < Una: ] Section 1. That it shall bo unlaw- < fill for any whito person to teach or instruct in any negro college, high 1 school, public school, graded school, 1 private school or any school whore ' negroes are taught in thl3 State, or < white nurses to bo employed in negro 1 hospitals to nurse nogroes at any hos- < pital or sanitarium, or for any negro ] to teach or Instruct in any college, ' high school, public school, graded ( school, private school or any school whoro white persons aro taught in this State; and any person who shall 1 violate any of tho provisions of this section shall bo deemed guilty of a ' misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall ho punished by line not exceeding $."00, or by imprisonment not exceeding twelve months; Provided, that nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit tho teaching of tho Ilible and religious matters: that tho provisions of this bill shall also apply to intimacy of tho races in houses of ill repute. Tho light for the bill was led by Mr. Fortner, the author, who was aided by Mr. James of Bishopville; Mr. Stanley of Horry, who wanted to go further, if at all, and bring about completo segregation. Tho opposition to the bill was severely handicapped by sentiment being in favor of tho hill and at one time it looked as if there would bo no opposition to it, but those who talked against tho bill said they realized the political dan gor. Chief among tho opponents ofl the bill was Mr. Liles of Orangeburg, Mr. Vander Horst and Mr. Barnwell of Charleston, Dr. C. T. Wycbe of Newberry and Mr. Rittenberg of Charleston. The Columbia correspondent of The News and Courier says Mr. Fortrfer does not like tho present status of his bill, because Mr. Leo of Darlington secured the adoption of an amendment by a unanimous vote that has had a decidedly paralytic effect upon the measure, and rather resolved the situation into a joke. Mr. Leo's amendment was adopted upon a yea and nay roll call, 100 to nothing, and provides "that the provisions of this bill shall apply to intimacy of the races in houses of ill repute." The first vote was on tho question of Indefinitely postponing tho bill, and on this a yea and nay vote was taken, which resultel in 3 8 to 59. Those voting aye being in favor of killing the hill, and those voting no in favor of the hill. Tho vote stood: Yoas?Atkinson, Barnwell, Bothea, Bolt, Boyd, Brice, Busbeo, Charles, Clement, Courtney, Dantzler, DeLaughter, Evans, Greer, Hunter, Johnston, Kirk, Lee, Liles, Lumpkin, McMaster, McQueen, Means, Meld, Nicholson, Leagues, Riddle, Rittenberg, Walter M.

Declaring that all the powers of government, both tho Federal and State, lie at tho feet of a "judicial >llgarchy" composed of tho lawyers >f tho United States, Chief Justice iValtor Clark, of tho North Carolina mpreme court, speaking at Cooper Jnion in New York Tuesday night varned liis fellow jurists throughout ho country to take hoed lest their lower prove their own undoing. Dismissing "government by judges" lustice Clark said: "It has been said that a contented >ooplo have no annals. The present mrest among the peoplo, strange as t may seem, is one of tho best signs >f tho times. When peoplo aro conent they either aro ignorant of boter conditions or hopeless of attainng them. A 'divine discontent' is :ho basis of civilization and of all progress in bettering tho condition )f humanity. "In this country, as in all countries, tho control of the government In the hands of tho few. In 177 6, wo Issued a declaration which proclaimed tho rights of mankind, and their equality' and freedom. And then tho reactohary party, the champions of government of the many by the few, quietly but effectively took control of the government. "Tho Importance, indeed tho overwhelming preponderance of the Judiciary in tho government was created in 1S0.1 by a decision of tho supreme court of the United States, without a line in the Constitution to authorize it, when that body assumed the right to veto any Act of Congress they chose to hold unconstituional. "The assertion of this doctrine was promptly seized upon as a boon by the special interests and by all who believed at heart in tho government of the many for tho benefit of the few. It has practically made the court the dominant power in every State in tho union. Whenever any progressive statute lias not been in accord with tho economic views entertained by the courts, they have generally exercised their power to declare such statute unconstitutional because it was not 'duo process of law'." Declaring that tho constitution does not authorize tho assumption of unlimited power by tho courts, Justice Clark said that if the constitution had given the judges the right to set aside a statute, it would have given tho legislative branch the same power in tho case of an executive veto. In warning his fellow jurists against overstepping their authority, tho speaker quoted Justice Harlan, where ho declared that when the people believe the judiciary is usurping legislative functions there will be trouble.

This was, perhaps, the final test on the proposition, although several other roll calls wero taken, but they were not significant. Mr. Hunter proposed that the amendment that negro chauffeurs and drivers be included in the provisions of the bill. This was killed by a vote of 43 to 60. The House then adopted the amendment which reads: "Provided, that nothing in this Act shall ho construed to prohibit the teaching of tho Bible and religious matters." This amendment was offered by Mr. James and had no opposition. Mr. Vander Horst then offered his amendment providing that tho bill should not apply to Charleston. This was lost on a tie vote. Mr. Fortner tried to get Mr. Tree's amendment, which proved to bo the joker in the situation, ruled out, but the speaker held that the House would have to decide for itself. When I it came to a show-down, the Hoe amendment, which applies to intl imicy 01 1110 races, was adopted on an ayo and nay vote of 100 to nothing. Mr. Idles tried to get an amendment through making the bill apply to women, so that men might continue to teach in colored schools. This was lost hy a vote of 4 0 to 53. Mr. Rittenhorg tried a Joker, by which ho sought to prohibit negroes working on farms owned by white people, but this did not get even as far aa a division vote, being killed on the first round. ? ?

BRYAN PRAISES WILSON SKCKKTARY OF STATU MARKS SI'KFXH IN NEW YORK. ^ i Says Administration's K (Torts Will Result in Ixnver Cost of Riving ami Ret lor Trade. \ President Wilson's policy towards business and proposed legislation affecting trusts promise a lower cost of J living at borne and increased international trado, William J. Bryan, secretary of state, Monday night declared in an address before the American Asiatic society at New York. Secretary Bryan discussed the administration's attitudo toward foreign commerce, tho tariff and currency reform measures and its poll- i cies toward private monopoly and t tho Chinese loan. Alluding to the government's proposed regulation of ' trusts and tho probable effect, Mr. ' Bryan said: t "Tho president has outlined a re- > form whoso influence can not bo ' bounded by national lines. lie has t declared war on private monopoly, and this means tho investment of i capital that has hitherto been fright- < ened away from Industrial fields. If < tho now policy results in a reduction in tho size of corporations that have ' become overgrown, it will moan a < largo number of independent and . competing enterprise and this com- i petition will mean a better article at i a lower price. < "It is worth while to inquire whrvthor monopolization has not nec essarily resulted in the restriction of 1 exports. proportion as industries 1 rest upon their own merits rather than upon legislative favor, just in that proportion will they bo strengthened for successful contest with competitive industries throughout the world." The authorization of international banks under the currency law will stimulate foreign trade in the Orient and throughout South America, Secretary Bryan said, and the new tariff means a larger international commerce. of which the "Orient will have her share". The secretary's discussion of the Chinese loan was made subsequent to a speech by Willard Straight, president of the society, who said that many merchants interpreted the president's policy to mean that the American government would not extend to bankers tho support which those familiar with trade conditions in China consider necessary. In reply Secretary Bryan said: "The new administration in withdrawing approval from tho Chinese loan did not question the good faith or good intent of those who had soon in it a means of increasing prestige and commercial power in China. The ??: ,j <~>?i lmllovn>1 |jl u\ iiuit a u uiri rui policy was more consistent with tlio American position and that it would In the long run be more advantageous to our commerce. It would not be fair to attribute a falling off in trade, to which reference has been made, to tho change in policy, because the new policy has not yet. had time to bear fruit, even if political conditions had been entirely favorable." OFKICKK IS SHOT. -? Union Deputy is Fired I'pon to Force Him to Kelea.se Prisoner. Information as to a serious shooting affair which occurred at Ottaray mills last Saturday night has just come to light at Union. From the accounts received tho following are tho facts in the case.

The father, William Raines, and two sons are in jail, having surrendered Sunday, while two sons, said by thom to have done the shooting, have fled and their whereabout are unknown. On Sunday morning the Raines brothers were on the platform at Ottaray with several companions. They wero cursing and making considerable noise. Deputy K. Hawkins, in attempting to quell the disturbance, ordered them to desist. All did so except one of the Raines boys, and bo was told to go homo or he would have to go to jail. Hawkins caught hold of Raines and by this time three brothers and the father of the four boys wero seen approaching, armed with shotguns and a pistol. They are said to have told Hawkins to release the prisoner or they would kill him. Ed Dawson had been deputized by Hawkins to help him, and lie turned loose the prisoner and started towards the father and three sons. Tho Raineses, it is said .then began a general fusillade. Two loads of shot hit Hawkins' face, one on tho side, not considered a serious wound, and tho other in the right arm, fearfully lacerating it from tho elbow to 1 tho wrist. Hawkins, although shot 1 down, and his pistol knocked from 1 his hand, secured it with his left hand and fired two shots at tho approaching men. All made their escape, but after daylight William Raines Sr., i fathor of tho boys, and John and , Rrvln Raines surrendered to the i sheriff, whilo Oscar and William Jr., are still at largo. 1 41 SINK INTO SEA I ill AMI li STRUCK AMIDSHIPS FRIDAY SINKS IMMEDIATELY ? mi DOWN LiKE A SHOT 4 den and Women Scream in Whirling; Vortex of the Sinking Shi|>?

In tho swirling vortck of the sinking ship men shouted and women screamed through tho mist. The Monroe went down so quickly that there was littlo timo for launching boats and it is believed that the only ones saved wero those picked up at once by tho Nantucket.

With water pouring into the doomed liner Monroe, her frightenerd passengers rushed to the decks and groped helplessly about in the dense fog. Many hurled themselves overboard. The Nantucket's boats had been lowered almost immediately after the collision, and guided by the cries of tlio Monroe's passengers and crew who had taken the desperate chance of leaping into the icy sea, they pressed the work of rescue. Searchlights that were aimed through the wall of fog wore of feeble help. Meanwhile the wireless began hissing out its call for aid. The revenue cutter Onondaga, cruising off the Virginia capes, heard, and under forced drafts sped northward. From her Norfolk berth the wrecking tug I. J. Merritt soon was under way. The Old Dominion liner Hamilton, not far from where the Monroe went down, was headed for the Nantucket and other ships turned their prows to the rescue. W. IT. Ingram of Sumter, S.

To tho list of those saved have been added, tho statement says, tho names of Mrs. J. M. Hay, 10. P. Lyons and 11. II. Vernon. Due to the fact that they wore unlonsclous from shock when picked up, tho names of these passengers could not be learned earlier. When tho presence of another vessel was suspected by tho officers of tho Monroe, tho statement adds, the vessel stopped immediately and tho whistle was blown onco. This signal was answered by tho Nantucket with two whistles. In reply to this tho Monroe whistled twice, being answered in tho same manner by tho Nantucket. Tho Monroe then kept her whistle going, hut received no further signals, it is declared. A few seconds later tho vessel was rammed by tho Nantucket abaft No. 1 port on tho starboard sido.
