SEPARATE RACES SAYS TILLMAN Negroes and Whites Ought to be Divided at Capitol?Civil Service Law Has Been Abused?Senator Tells Why There Are So Many Negroes Now Employed. Washington, May 12.?A question which is more or less agitated in Washington right now is the segregation of the races in the Government departments. This plan is favored by Senator Tillman of South Carolina and by Senator Vardaman of MisJUHsinni Tn Hiaxnacino rr- -..v-muu.6 question Senator Tillman was asked why there were more colored persons in the Civil Service than whites from the South. It is said that there are 22,000 negroes in the service. Senator Tillman answered the : question with characteristic frankness. "I think it is due to the unwillingness of the white women and white men of the South to go to school as it were, alongside of negroes," he said. "The white people of the South are not much in love with the quality implied by the Civil Service examina- : tions. They therefore, neglect to take the examinations and get on the eligible list. These lists are humbugs, of course as we all know be- , CAUSA *-Ha POI+ifii>otinn vva VMivaVIVII VI tliC tillCtJ names at the top from which the appointing: officer must choose and failing to find the proper material for the clerk in the first three can call for another. If President Wilson, continued Senator Tillman, "and the Cabinet officers under him the proper corrective, and it need not be drastic or revolutionary, I should think in three of four years we would have a very radical change in conditions in the Civil Service in Washington." Separate The Races. Whether the Civil Service reforms advocated will be carried out or not, it is a fact that some of the Cabi| net officers and their assistants are seeking to separate the negroes and * whites in the service as much as possible. John Skelton Williams, of Virginia, in paying a visit to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving a short while ago found the white and negro employes eating lunch together. He ordered it stopped at once and insisted that separate places be provided. He said that it might be necessary for them to work together but it was not necessary for them to eat together. Letter From New Hope. The greatest social event of the season around in this section oocured Saturday . at Gault's school near Lockhart Junction. After one of the most successful sessions in its history. The Gault school held a picnic ana barbecue in the grove at the ! school house, of that prosperous community, known as the Gault commun- \ ity. During the past session this j school situated on the public road t leading from Union to Grindel i Shoals bridge, has been conducted by \ Miss Sullie Cunningham and as a ru- t ral school has had unusual success. 1 The exercises of the day were open- < ed by a game of baseball and Miss ( Sallie, (the teacher) on first base. There was a lot of fun by some of the married young men dancing, on- < ly one or two at a time though. Had S some fine music also by Mr. Budie i Kelly, Dan White and Buddie Gault, i on tneir violins, these gentlemen know how to weild the bow as well t as the hoe. Dinner came on, and t such a dinner we never saw and a t great pot of nice hash. We never : saw such well filled baskets, boxes, and trunks. The long table and it filled up to feed several hundred visitors present and could have fed several more. Too .much could not be said for the untiring work and efforts of Miss Cunningham, the teacher, and to the aid rendered by Mr. Mack Gault, better known to you, Mr. Editor, as "Moxy." The day is not far distant when this Gault school will have to have a larger and more comfortable building with all the modern improvements demanded by the progress of the day. After dinner was over and all had rested and smoked, there were a few well made remarks made by Revs. Arial and Hodges, both of these good men were educated at Bush college, so they said, and their marks showed it too, they both were playing hall and each on opposing sides, I think brother Arial got whipped like he did at Bush college. Mr. Editor all the picnic lacked being complete was you not being there, you certainly did miss a dinner. Well it is dry, dry, dry, and it i* ... itAina t?M ii mere is to oe several more days of this dry cold weather. Mrs. Martha Whitlock is spending n whiie with he daughter over near Sedalia. Farmers are all about out of something to do until it rains. Planting is all done, havesting time is almost here and there will be quite a good deal of oats to cut. Mr. Vox, write often I always enyoy reading your letters to The Times, which is better now than it ever has been. Smike, t r ROY BAKI P0?

Columbia, May 12.?Assistant Attorney General Fred H. Dominick, will file a brief in the supreme court here today in which it will be contended on the part of the State of South Carolina that under the Webb law recently enacted by Congress, as . applied to the liquor laws of this 1 3tate no shipment of whiskey into this state is legal except it be to a iispensary. "But for the protection of the inter state commerce clause," says the 1 assistant attorney general, "there is only method of lawfully obtaining, receiving and possessing liquor in ( the State of South Carolina, and that f is by purchase from a county dispensary for a lawful purpose. All other 1 liquors are deemed and expressly de- 1 clared to be contraband and may be seized without warrant." 1 The brief contends there is ample ( authority as to the right of the State J to pass and enforce such a law. ( "Now that this protection" (the protection of the inter-State comtnero* olause the brief concludes, 'has been withdrawn hv th* W?bh . ict the State law? apply equally to 5 shipments from without the State as * well as to shipments within the 1 State." ? The brief points out that it is now t mlawful to ship liquoi from one < >oint in the state to another point in ;he state , and that shipments from j without the state, even for personal T lse are now only permitted under \ ;he protection of the inter-state com- J nerce, which protection is now withirawn, the assistant attorney pen- , sral contends by the Webb law. \ The brief is filed on behalf of the State of South Carolina in the case )f W.

(By Uncle Ezra Whimple) Hiis poor land of ours down here ids rain so badly that some of our ighbors are using long distance escopes and are watching the elents continually, with the hope of hting a cloud and drawing it near jugh to get a few drops of rain, st Monday while Uncle Tom Dogod was on the top of his barn look: through his telescope he sighted nothing which he thought was a ud, but in a few minutes fnunH his utter disgust that it was a bairn passing over which he says was ided with ammunition for the Japese in California, as it bore the irt of arms of Japan, and was ing in that direction. One of our neighbors, Mr. Erastus iokle, has a cur dog named "Cole jase," which was given to him by friend in Columbia, and he says it the best all around dog In this rt of the country. He says that ten it comes to tricks that he has t namesake "skinned," and that is ing some. Mr. Hookle asked his end why he named him Cole sase, as he did not favor him very ich. He told him that he could not ep his chickens, pigs, goats or any his stock locked up, and did not ow for a long time how they were tting out. So early one morning was going out to the bam to feed, d caught the dog rearing up at the ible door, and after watching him while he saw him open the door and i the mules out; he then went to 5 chicken house and , opened the or and let his game chickens out the yard where he kept his Ply>uth Rocks and of course there is a scrap in a short time. He said also had a goat that was a terror lich he kept penned up, but was allys mysteriously getting out, and is forever doing some damage, ch as eating the well rope and using the bucket to drop in the ill, and pulling the clothes off the thes-line and eating them, and ing up in the attic and eating his me-grown twist tobacco and red pper, and a number of other dev?h things. So he saw that his dog d such a mania for turning "crimil8" out that he dicided that the jt name he could give him would "Cole Blease," and after reading the papers a few weeks ago about j escape of "Portland Ned" from ? Qovernor's office, whv h? w?<j fni co nvinced that he had given his Z he right name.
