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.
Father ef Former Foreman of the Record
Office.
EO Clement, foreman of the
tieraia mecnamcai ucpuuicui,
recently returned from Spartanburg",
S where he was called
by the death of his father, Mr A
P Clement. Through delay, in
the delivery of a telegram Mr
Clement was not able to reach
his father before his death. The
Spartanburg Herald in writing
of Mr Clement's death, said:
"A P Clement, aged 57 years,
died at 7:30 o'clock Monday
morning at his home on North
Church street, after an illness of
several years. Mr Clement was
well known in Spartanburg and
h's many friends will regret to
learn of his death. He moved
to Spartanburg from Boiling
Springs about ten years ago and
during his residence here made
an excellent citizen.'"
"Mr Clement is survived by a
widow and the following children:
Mrs T G Cooksey of Saluda,
N C? Mrs Sidney Cantrell
of Boiling Springs; Mrs F E
Bruce, Mrs R A White, and Miss
Ida Clement of Union, S C., D E

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

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

Saving Surplus Carrots.
Any carrots that are left in the
I garden when frost comes can be
, made to keep for nearly a year by
storing them in sand. At least
they kept that length of time for
us. 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. Xc
doubt a cooler temperature would
suit them as -well or better, for carrots
are supposed to store to the
best advantage at about 34 degrees,

The Wight of tho Partridge That Had
Been Eating Them.
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. A. Hitchcock in Outing Magazine.
Stupidity and Sangfroid.
Commander Gambier of the British
navy tells in his book this story
of a soldier servant named Andrews,
a fellow of stupidity and
sang froid: "We were practicing
with a saloon pistol in my brother's
quarters, and Andrews was in a
?/l??o<iin/T i-Afim oftininirnr when
is man uicoomg iwu? ?
a ball went through the door and
took the tip off his ear. Most men
would have made some remark. He
did not, and we knew nothing about
it until by chance, looking into the
room, we saw him groping about
under the table for something he
had lost. 'What are you looking
for, Andrews ?' said my brother.
He drew up, stood at attention and
replied in an apologetic tone?as if
deprecating his master's wrath, 1
