It is as if Klaw and Erlang r announced that they presented Sen itor Tillman in his world beating an ti negro specialty exactly as nerform- n * with great success on the floor of the United States Senate. Doubt- ! ss he would be applauded and en ored. as at Chicago, if the show aroved what it is cracked up to be. lut North Carolina —>onle would -ather forego the pleasure of seeing him than have it supposed that they are so lacking in good sense and 'ood feeling as to take his perform- -•'ces seriously. NOTES AND COMMENTS. MR TILLMANS PERFORMANCES. That the utterances of Senator Tt'lman on the race question do not meet with the -oproval of a great many people of the South there is no Question. Of course no one who knows Mr. Tillman will take his ut terances with seriousness. In fact he does not himself believe what he Mavs in regard to the negro. He is talking not for affect but ef.ect—dol lars. The Charlotte Observer of the *th contained such a splendid edi torial on the subject that we repro duce it: Coming upon th heels oi the an nouncement that. Senator Tillman’s lecture engagements include dat s for points in North Caro’ina. Virginia and Maryland and the surprise there at expressed by those papers up North which ke :> in touch with Southern sentiment to anv extent, the speech of Dr. John C. Kilgo at the bnnquM of the Trinity College Alumni Asso ciation of New York was quite time ly. “Never b ’fore.” said Or Kilgo. "was there felt throughout the South h” worthy men in every lin of work deeper hmni Station than that re eentlv provoked by th*-’ rough and sectional utterance of Senator Till- rr*'-' in the I n’ted States S'nate. The dav has now passed when the builders of the n- w South will ap plaud the voice of sectional strife. The fact is men in the South hav~ rr^wn tired of the nro’onged strug gle o'er the negro problem. It has been settled by nature that the white pace and ihe black form two distinct rnr' 11 -'- and it shall h^ the dutv of the South to grannie interigently with the great problem. Those of ns who know Ihe negro from the standpoint of the fields and the shoes, known that, too much of th situation to be swent a wav bv delusions of those who have never worked with them in the industrial lif“ of the South.” This is hardly putting the case too strongly, though The Observer wou’d remark that not all of the lingering sectionalism is to be found on this side of the old line. Senator Till man. of South Caro'ina. is not a whit more sectional in his way than Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, is In his. and nothing corresponding to Uhe inveterate hostility which certain New England interests and their r 1 - rooentatives in Congress manifest toward South' rn industrial develop menf. is to be found in this nart of khe country. We onlv wish that Sen •tor lodge were as unrepresentative •e Senator Tillman Dr. Kilgo has dom. his oeo’< e good service by %“'ning to make it understood that Hr. Tilman's performance^ ar thorough!'• offensive to the good poo *le rf the South. He might have *aid that there is no race problem •mounting to an.thing in most of | the South. We would have it known In ail that Mr. Tiliman's war dances If you love your children and have the welfare of future generations at heart, you will vote for the Issuing of bonds for improving the schools of the tenth ocbool district. era Express Company for several months, is at home visiting his aunt.

March 1st, until vesterdav afternoon. When you co” *der the fact that each and every one of these subscriptions came itn solicited and the furth r fact that each and every one <<" them paid in advance for th paper (you must re member we tio not tak-e them any other way) you are bound to admit that it is closest, to the heart of the people. • • * Th,: Ledger was the first paper to appear with a full account of the trial and conviction of Tom Harris. The verdict, was rendered at G:30. Judge Aldrich sentenced him at G:43. At (‘>:4n the prisoner left the court house, and at 8.35. one hour and fifty minutes. The Ledger, bearing a full account of the entire proceedings, was rolling from the press. That’s what, we call quick work in a country nrintine- office. * • • We wish some of our Nprthern friends who entertain the idea that negro cannot ger justice from the white people of tin* South could have witnessed a scene in our court house last. week. A negro (Victor Corry) was being tried for house breaking and larceny. He was too poor to em ploy a lawyer, so he conducted his own ease. The jury was composed '' white men and every witness arainst the negro was a white man The negro had not a sing e witness. He cross examined the witnesses, went on the stand in his own behalf and told his story and was acquitted Now what have you to say about that, so far as giving the negro justice is concerned? »^ u -( Resolutions of Camp Jefferies U.
