TILLMAN'S TIRADE j AGAINST ROOSEVELT.! O LINES UP WITH FIRE ALARM FORAKER AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IN DEFENSE OF NEGRO TROOPS. Washington, January 12:? The president's, action in dismissing" these men was nothing more or less than lynching." This is only one of the many bitter exclamations of Senator Tillman before the senate this afternoon in his speech on the Brownville affair. Iu a voice trembling with emotion, he charged the Roosevelt with reviving the race issue and with bringing about conditions, more threatening than those in 1861. He said: "The president is more responsible than any man for the position of the negro, in and j out of the South. He gave Booker Washington recognition socially. He made a mess of that Brownsville affair. Is the president ready to act up to his own theory and have his own children marry men and women of other races? Would he accept a daughter-in-law who was a Chinese, Malay, Indian or negro? All know he wouldn't. Consider whether the president is sincere and honest and whether he can justify bis unwarranted usurpation of power. The president forgot himself, saying what he didn't intend or mean. The senator proceeded to show how the race question was a vital issue in the solution of | -, the future of Cuba and Santo * Domingo and said; "On the Pacific coast, the relationship between the Mongolian and the Caucasian is involved. The president announced a policy favoring absolute x obliterationt of the race line, granting full citizenship to Japs. # Americans, I understand, bitterly oppose this, regardless of party lines. But these phases of therace problem sink to in significance alongside the great deal more vital question of the relationship of the races in the Southern States. In this Brownville affair, 167 men suffer, while not more than twenty have ever been charged with participation in the crime." Tillman declared the president's first thought was protection of the negro troops and punishment of the Brownsville citizens by abandoning the military post there. The matter 'should have been settled in court after by the civil authorities. - Another Acceeit. Washington, January 12:? Tillman is speaking today on the Brownsville riots. The galleries are packed. He said, in part, that he^ failed to see where the soldiers had broken their oaths of enlistment in any way by what was called a conspiracy of silence. Treason and mutiny cannot be attributed to these men, though murder has. Not over twenty are involved, though 167 have been discharged. Why is this? Why convict ? mi j ? tne innocent, ine war uepaxi-1 ment was warned not to send I soldiers there, They were sent i there in spite of their known record as being murderers and cut throats. \ He then recited some of the brtjial attacks these soldiers had committed. Evidence can be produced to show that the r troops are guilty. He incorporated in the record a statement showing the bad record of the twenty-fifth infantry, showing criminal acts committed by them at times. They were put 1 in without being read. He then took up at length the r reasons why the president had done an unconstitutional act in dismissing the soldiers. The foundation of his "Tillman's" case is that it is settled that the innocent shall not be punished for the acts of the guilty. The speech will probably continue for two hours. DEATH 8F A P CLEMENT.

Coroner* Gamble *went to Camp No 6 of the Atlantic Coast Corp near Trio, on Monday, the 14th inst., and held an inquest in the case of J P Nesmith, who was burned to death thereon Christmas day in his camp. A jury was impannelled and two witnesses examined, viz: Mr H C Pittman, the foreman of the camps, and Mr A W Graham. who lives near bv and had viewed the remains at the time of the tragedy. After hearing all the testimony the jury of inquest rendered the following verdict: "That Mr J P Nesmith came to his death by being drunk and carelessly letting the fire from the store burn the house that he was in." A seer in York, Pa., prophesies fires, earthquakes, assassinations, financial troubles in 1907 and an end of the world in 1908, He does not say anything about the outcome of the Thaw case or the resignation of Piatt and Depew. ^ ; j NEWS NOTES FROM LAKE CITY.

We cut the tops to within about a half inch of the root and laid each carrot separately, filling the spaces between with sand and adding enough layers to fill the box. They were kept in a cellar that has a temperature of from 40 to 50 deEees in the winter. They always }t till "he new carrots come in June, and one year we found a sound oqi3 as late as August.

One night a little after dusk as we were about to go into the house our younger brother saw something dark moving behind the dog kennel. The older bov reached in as far as he could, and with the help of his wVia ct/vn/J of flia rwfVior laiilUl y mi V OI?WU aw WUW Wiivi VMVi of the kennel, he drew out a fluttering female partridge that acted so queerly ye could not make out what was the matter, for she did not seem to be hurt. There were no blood stains on her feathers, no marks anywhere, but she could neither walk nor fly, and, what was the strangest of all, she did not appear frightened, and every one, I think, knows that nothing living is shier than a partridge, We marveled at the sight as she sat quietly in the older boy's hand, breathing very fast, but showing absolutely no fear. Suddenly our younger boy exclaimed: "Oh, I know what ails her! She's drunk 1 She's been eating poke berries!" Sure enough. We had all read about partridges getting drunk on poke berries, but had forgotten it. We took her into the house, and she sat on the table while we ate our supper. How indescribably funny she looked sitting there by my plate, allowing me to stroke her smooth, brown mottled back, permitting?the wild woods thing?familiarities from each one of us! Poor, helpless, drunken little dame! Her bill would partly ojlen and shut, and if we put her up on her feet she ^ iinfk kail I wuu'.u Owoj auu tubici^ mvu uon closed- eyes end drooping tail and wings. How we laughed, and how we regretted that we had no camera and so were unable to take her picture! Wha^ a chance for Mr. Job! Not aiother such chance would any one be likely to have in a lifetime! As I held her up against my face and felt the soft, faint little puffs of breath from her bill against my cheek, she seemed the very spirit of quintessence of all that is woodsy? shy, remote and inaccessible?and yet there she was, right in ray hands ?dozily, dizzily, dauntlessly drunk! ?B.
