B. Tariff Question Discussed at Length—Thrusts at Tusts—Talks on the Negro Problem. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Washington, D. C., April 18.—Then* | have been some excellent speeches made in the house of representatives this session by the Democrats, and. aside from those speeches made by 1 Hon. John Sharp Williams, who al ways makes a good one. the best that have been made and that will mak< excellent campaign material for the Democrats in the approaching oam- paign were those mad^ by the Hon Champ Clark, of Missouri, the Hon. Eaton J. Bowers, of Mississippi, and the Hon. Adam M. Byrd, of Mi«si«- |sippi. Mr. (Mark, of Missouri, spoke entirely on the tariff question, and his speech may he taken as a eb-ar and concise exposition of the Demo cratic position on that question. Mr. Clark is one of the hardest hitters on the Dem*>oratic side of the house and he usually calls a spade a spade and does not mince words. He hit the Republicans some hard jolts in the course of his speech and they squirmed like a cut worm and at tempted to rattle him by asking questions. They gained nothing, how- passed here yesterday on his way to r»ver. and he proceeded with his lam- see relatives in York county. It’s a basting to their utter dismay and the and that therefore he was more con tented. His speech was a lucid and luminous argument, and will do much to stop the ignorant talk in th<- North about the treatment of the ne gro in he South. Mr. Bowers was heartily congratulated by his col leagues on the floor of the house, who gave him generous applause throughout the speech and the clos est attention. It has been remarked here that the State of Mississippi has sf-nt an exceptionally strong delega tion to this congress, amongst the | strongest members of which may he mentioned the Hon.

His farm begins at Emanuel Elmore’s shop and takes in all the land on the right of the road between there and John Sweeper’s. Giles, though a one-legged man. is a hustler. Sweet potato seed are hard to find this year. Those who had plenty of seed lost them last winter. The weather still continues cold and dry—too much so for people to push their cotton planting.

The application of Dan Rowe, igiven fourteen years for manslaugh- ^ter in Aiken county, in 18%, was re fused as was the application for the pardon of Jerry Reed, convicted of manslaughter in Pickens county in 1900, and sentenced to five years. McArthur Celebrates Her Eight ieth Birthday. Mrs. M. A. McArthur celebrated her eightieth birthday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. H. Smith, last Tuesday. The four score natal day found her enjoying remarkably good health and much vitality. In the evening a number of her children, together with a few friends, gathered to honor the occasion. The exercises consisted of singing. Bible reading and remarks appropriate to the occasion. Rev. J. B. Wilson read the Scripture lesson. Prof. McArthur made a very appropriate address, in which he spoke of the family history and paid a beautiful tribute to his mother. Mr. Wilson also made a pleasing and appropriate address. A feature of the evening was the sing ing of “The Heavenly Vision," by Mrs. McArthur, assisted by her daughters, Mrs. W. H. Smith and Mrs. Laura Nance. The most enjoyable one for tended. Those present were: Wilson. Mr. IjOgan Warmoth. Misses Dora and Ellen Scott, Prof, and Mrs W. F. McArthur, Mrs. Laura Nance Mrs. Senora Gray and Ed H. De Camp.

The farmers of this community are making every effort, to get their crops planted just as soon as they can. There will he a very good size cotton crop planted but not so much as we at one time thought there would he. From what we see and hear the lolitical pot will soon begin to boil.

It was not our good fortune to be present, but from others who were we learn that he preached a very im pressive sermon. He gave notice that he expected Rev.

It was on" of the strongest and most viril<- speeches made on the tariff question in years, and will he freely used a^ one of the campaign documents this summer. Another good speech on th" tariff question was the one made by the Him. Adam M. Byrd, of Mississippi, and was devoted entirely to the man ner in which the tariff affonts the farmers in this country, and it will be read with great interest by them in this campr'gn. Mr. Byrd showe 1 conclusively that the present apparent prosperity of the farmer did not come from the Dingley tanff rates, hut from the failure of crops across the sea and a shortage in the world-’s supply of cotton. He also showed that, this prosperity was more appa rent than real, for the cost of living hail increased more than thirty per cent, since 1897, which made it seem impossible for the present wave of prosperity to long continue in the ag ricultural districts unless the gov ernment comes to the rescue and re duces the cost of production by re moving the tax from agricultural im- ploments, machinery and other neces sities of life, the price of which is now only affected by the consciences of the heartless trusts organized and perpetuated by the thieving sched ules of the tariff law. He showed up the fact that the per capita wealth of Mississippi is only about $143, while that of Massachusetts is $1,419. and asked why it was that the farm er had been shackled in poverty for the past fifty years while his manu- fatcuring brother had prospered, and said that there could be no answer except that the one is being robbed to enrich the other, and that the Re publican party is a joint heir in this legacy of shame. He showed up the fact that th" trusts were selling goods abroad cheaper than at home, and that this method of robbing at home and un dcrsolling abroad is rapidly revolu tionizing the fiscal policy of Engian i. which, if carried out according to tie ideas of Joseph Chamberlain, will de stroy the greatest market in the world for the products of the farm<-r in this country and absolutely im poverish him. This dire result will he brought alxmt simply through the “stand pat” policy of the Republican party, and its refusal to revise and reduce the tariff schedules on the trust made goods. Mr. Byrd’s speech was a splendid effort and brought fortli the encomiums of his col leagues. It will be made a cam paign document in the campaign, and will do much to make the farnn r think of the miserable treatment he is. and has been, receiving at the hands of the Republican party. The best speech of the session on the negro problem was that recently delivered by the Hon. Eaton J. Bow ers, of Mississippi. It was the speech of a statesman, a deep student and a learned lawyer. It was made in reply to a speech recently made by Mr. Gillett, of Massachusetts, ar raigning the South anent the negro. Mr. Bower’s speech was temperate but forceful, and had the precision of a Kentucky rifle. He demonstrated clearly the validity of the Mississippi constitution on the suffrage ques tion to the satisfaction of everybody, with the itossible exception of the Union League Club of New Y’ork. which he showed up In a ridiculous light as the possessor of an unwonted burden of ignorance of the law as to the operation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments ujKtn state limitations upon the suffrage. He showed up the fact that the negro in Massachusetts was six times as criminal as the negro in Mississippi, and that the negro all over the North was more criminal than the Southern negro, though possessing a better ed ucation. He demonstrated conclus ively that the reason for this was that at the South the negro hail a better chance to earn his living in all the pursuits that demanded brawn Death in the County. Mrs. Mary Patrick, one of this county’s oldest and best women, died at her home near Wilkinsville Tues day night and was buried at i ick graveyard Thursday. She had ] passed her three score and ten years.; and was one of those good motherly women whom to know was to love, and whose lovely, unpretentious j Christian life, was one well worthy; of imitation. Mrs. Patrick had been a widow for many years and had devoted her long i life to the comfort and happiness of i her children, of whom Messrs. Lee \ and Beauregard Patrick, worthy citi-; zens of this county, are two. She was ; a consistent member of the Abingdon Creek Baptist church and her beauti ful life attested her faith, and the at tendance at her funeral showed the high esteem in which she was held by those who knew her best. We extend sympathy to her bereaved ones.

TESTI- But for the coolness of Judge Council and the salutary effects of a pistol in the handse of the chief of police, Hickory would have been the scene of a lynching Saturday night. About 7 o’clock a cry was raised that a negro employe of the Pierce Carnival Company, of Hick ory, had insulted a white lady on the street. The m-gro was arrested and instantly surrounded by a furious mob. While Judge Council addressed the crowd the chief of police, with drawn pistol, carrh d the prisoner to J. D. Elliott's office. The mob fol lowed, and a proposition to storm the stairway was met with a threat of instant death to the first man who made a move. Meanwhile the negro was hurried down a back stairway and taken in a buggy to Newton jail. When the mob found the • risoner was gone it slowly dispersed.
