The prediction is made that this
-session of the general assembly will
tio absolutely nothing with the dis?
pensary, but, owing to a deadlock be
=tweeen. the house and senate, will
-permit the system to remain "as it is.
This would be outrageous, for the
system "as it is" needs a thorough
purifying and disinfecting, and it
'Hvoflta be better to abolish the State
'dispensary and try the county dis?
pensary experiment than to do noth?
ing. What ought to be done is to
pass the Raysor-Manning bill or a bill
embodying the same features.

TILLMAN MAKES A BITTER AT

The Discussion of the Browsville Af

raignment of the President-Race
Issue the Text.
Washington, Jan. 12.-"The presi?
dent' action in dismissing these men
was nothing more nor less than
lynching." This was only one of the
many hitter exclamations of Senator
Tillman in his speech hefore the sen?
ate this afternoon on the Brownsville
affair.
In a voice trembling with emotion
he charged President Roosevelt with
reviving the race issue and bringring
! about conditions more threatening
than those of 1861. Said he: "Pres
dent Roosevelt is more responsible
than any other man for the present
position of the negro in and out of the
south. He gave Booker Washington
recognition socially, and made a mess
of that worse than the Brownsville
affair. Is the president ready to act
lip to his own theory and havehis own
children marry men and women of
other races? Would he accept as a |
daughter-in-law a Chinese, Malay,
Indian or negro? All know he would
not."
"We must consider whether the
president is sincere and honest, or
whether in the* ferver of the fight to
justify his unwarranted usurpation of
power the president forgot himself
and was lead into saying what he did
not intend to mean.'*
DR. JUDSON IS DEAD.
For More Than Half a Century He
Had Zealously Labored for the Up?
building of the University to Which
He Gave His Undivided Affection.
Greenville, Jan. 12?-Dr. Charles
Hallett Judson, for 54 years professor
of mathematics at Furman university,
died at 4.45 o dock this afternoon.
The funeral services will take place on
Tuesday at noon in the First Baptist
church in this city.
Dr. Judson was stricken with pa?
ralysis on Monday and continued to
grow worse un ti lthe end came. He
suffered three distinct strokes in all,
the last effecting his side and throat
to such an extent that he was unable
to take norishment. Dr. Judson leaves
only one surviving relative, bis sister,
Miss Mary C .Judson, who, like him?
self, has consecrated her life to edu?
cation, having been connected with
the faculty of the Greenville Female
college for half a century.
In all Dr. Judson, gave $41.000 to I
;
Furman university from his estate, j
which he accumulated in the course j
of a long life lime by dint of carefui j
saving. These gifts have made the
Carnegie library building and the
?100.000 endowment of Furman pos?
sible. ?
Charles Hallette Judson, LL. D.,
was born in Munroe, Conn., April 20,
1820. Has parents were both of pure
English stock. His father, Charles
Judson, was a man of sterling quali
tit i and became one of the most
prominent men in his community, in
business and social circles.
The mother of Dr. Charles H. Jud?
son was Miss Abi Sherman, of Con?
necticut, a relative of the distinguish?
ed Roger Sherman.
Dr. Judson's earliest education was
obtained at the public school in his
own town. From this he was trans?
ferred to a high school, near his
honte, taught by a graduate of Tale.
He was afterwards sent to New Haven
to prepare himself for business. Not
long after going to the city he be?
came interested in meetings of one
of the Baptist churches of the place.
He professed faith and joined the
Baptists. At about the same time
"Locke's "Essay on the Human Under?
standing'" fell into his hands. These
two circumstances conmbined to
change the current of his life. As a
result he resolved upon leaving busi?
ness and continuing his education. He
entered Hamilton Literary and Theo?
logical Institute, located at Hamilton,
X. Y., known today as the Colgate
university, and the Colgate seminary.
He remained at Hamilton two years I
and was then compelled to teach for
a while to obtain means with which
to further prosecute his studies. Ever
since that day he was able to sympa?
thize with the poor boy struggling for
an education, and he generously as?
sisted such all through his long and
useful life.
He went from Hamilton to Virgin?
ia, where he taught several years and
then entered the University of Virgin?
ia, where he remained two years. This
course helled him to shape his work
as a teacher for life. There he form?
ed high ideals as to what a college
course ought to be, and these high
ideals he had before him for over 50
years, and thiss has largely made Fur?
man university what it is and what it
has been.
In 1S47 Dr. Judson married Miss
Emily Bosher. of Richmond, Va. To?
gether they walked life's journey,
! childless, till May, 1903, when she
' entered her heavenly rest. It was a
happy marriage, and in all respects
she was a true helpmeet. Soon after
i their marriage he began teaching a
boys' school in London, Va. After
two years here, he went to Warrenton,
? Va., where he remained teaching one
year: While at Warrenton he heard
of a vacancy in an institution of
learning- at Ansonville, X. C., and
.without friends, special influence, or
even acquaintance in the college or
community, he journeyed thither and
made application in person for the
position. In 1851, while seeking pu?
pils for this school, he heard of the
proposed opening of Furman univer?
sity, and that a faculty would soon he
elected. He aplpied for the chair of
mathematics and was elected. That
was a great day for Furman, for j
Greenville and for South Carolina.
He filled the chair of mathematics
till a few years ago, and at the time
of his death was still considered the
i
head of the department. Until very
recently he met his classes in astron?
omy, and was in close touch with the
classes in mathematics, though the
j daily routine of that work passed to
j P.rof. M. D. Earle.
When Dr. Judson became connected
with Furman university there was no
building ,no endowment, no equip?
ment. He selected the plans for the
first building and superinteded/ its
erection; he purchased the apparatus
and equipments, and he led in every
movement since then for the growth,
improvement and enlargement of the
building and grounds, and the en?
dowment, and has largely directed in
fixing the course of study and the
standard of the institution. Until re?
cent years he was the treasurer of
the institution, and managed the
funds and property, and it was very
largely due to his prudence, foresight,
personal sacrifices, unremitting
watchfulness and faithfulness that
the college property, funds and equip?
ment were not lost entirely during
the civil war and in the dark days of
financial stringency since. The insti?
tution grew up, very largely, around
two men, Dr. C. H. Judson and Dr.
James C. Furman, the first presi?
dent.
During the civil war Dr. Judson
was president of the Greenville Fe?
male college, and for several years
after the war. In this position he was
instrumental in saving that institution
also. He managed its affairs and
saved its its property, and contributed
to its support during season of great
depression and stringency. In the
recent effort to increase the endow?
ment of Furman university he con?
tributed over $26,000. He was not
a rich man, but by frugality, economy
and good management he accumulat?
ed some means, and he has always
been generous and a liberal contribu?
tor to. benevolent, charitable and re?
ligious purposes. He gave over $15.
000 to endow the Carnegie library
for Furman university. He gave his
"nome to that institution. His ii fe'and
his property he laid on the altar Of
the institution so dear to his heart.
He made Greenville his . home in
1851, and the upbuilding of Furman
university his life-work, and nothing
could change his purpose. He had
the opportunity, time and again, of
goinfe elsewhere. Twice he was of?
fered the presidency of the Judson in?
stitute, Marion, Ala., and twice ^that
of Richmond Female college, Rich?
mond, Va., and twice he was offered
a professorship in Richmond college.
I After he came tc Greenville he was
never a place-hunter, his ambition be- j
ing to make Furman university an in
stitution worthy of the people of the
State. For over 55 years he faithful?
ly performed his duties as a teacher,
and it is gratifying that the Carnegie
Foundation for Teaching recognized
his faithful and distinguished services
as a teacher, and voted him an annuity
of $1,000. This honor was conferred
upon him a few weeks before his
death.
For many years he was an honored
deacon of the First Baptist church,
Greenville, and his life as a Christian
has been active and blameless. For
many years he was the treasurer of
the Babtist State convention, and a
member of the board of State mis?
sions. At the time of his death he
was a truste j of the Southern Baptist
Theological seminary, Louisville. He
was held in the highest esteem by the
Baptists all over the country.
, As a scholar and teacher Dr. Jud?
son was pre-eminent, ranking among
the finest mathematicians in the Uni?
ted States. He was well known in
the realm of letters and science. His
papers have been copied into the
leading scientific journals of the day.
One of these, "An Investigation of the
Arithmetical Relations Between Zero
and Infinity," was noticed in a most
favorable way in the Analyst for ISSI.

Fertilizers
.fi
There is no item of expense connected with the making of a
crop that is of greater importance to farmers than that of fer?
tilizers. It seems practically a waste of time and energy to at?
tempt the planting of a crop without their use. In good years
they pay handsomely, but with unfavorable seasons, the results
are very disappointing. The year just closed was one of the
most disastrous that this immediate section has ever experi
enced. Fertilizers were used liberally, yes we might say,
extravagantly. The sellers were probably as much to blame
as the consumers We were ali more or less inflated as the re?
sult of two or three years of good business, and were anxious
to spread our wings; they have been clipped. We have been
taught a lesson, a very expensive one, and let us hope a profit?
able one.
The conditions make it necessary that in 1907 we shall have
to practice economy. Banks will not be in a position to ex?
tend the liberal accommodations, which they have so cheerfully
done in the last few years, and merchants' resources will be
1 limited accordingly. We do not know whether it is ecpnomy
to curtail to a great extent the use of fertilizers or not, every
farmer will have to exercise his own judgment as to this. Our
observation has been that those who use fertilizers with a rea?
sonable degree of liberality and apply them intelligently, makes
the best showing at the end of the year. Many customers come
to our office, not knowing what to buy, and want us to make
suggestions. This shows a lack of intelligence on their part.
Every farmer ought to know what is best suited to his soil, it is
his duty to make a study of it, otherwise he is throwing his
money awajr. It sometime? happens that a certain grade of
fertilizer will give excellent results on one Seid, whereas on
another portion of the same plantation it would be practically
worthless. We never make suggestions as to the best fertil?
izers to use, it is not our business, we do not know, but we try
tq^give people what they want, and if the results are not satis?
factory, they have only themselves to blame.
We are handling the same brand of acid and ammoniated
gooda that we have been selling for the past ten years, and
based upon their analysis, we feel perfectly safe in saying that
