SEN TILLMAN DISCUSSES
RECENT ATLANTA RIOTS
Special to Tb* Georgian.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 8.—The Augusta I j-
eeum reason was opened here Saturday
night by Senator Benjamin U. Tillman,
who delivered his noted lecture on “The
Itace Problem,” and offered a remedy for
Its solution. The senator dwelt at some
length on the recent race riot In Atlanta,
a ltd said that such outbreaks came as a
natural conpaquence of the assaults on
white women by negroes. ■
The senator stated that lynching had
proven a failure as a means of prevent
ing this crime and said that the people
must look for something more effective.
In opening his lecture, Senator Tillman
said:
“I am not an alarmist and have been
eloso student of condition! In the South
for the Inst forty year*. ' I have had ex*
fierleuce such ns few men have bad, dat

and the subsequent overthrow of the car-

them run newspapers, while others have
occupied high places In the political world,
who say that the race problem la settling

In less than five, there will be an Im
mense number of race Hots, North and
Kouth, beside which, the Atlanta Hot pales
Into insignificance. The people of the
South must art, and act promptly. If we
are to avert danger, for we have already
allowed things to run too long without
any policy or well defined plan, and It will
be criminal with those who lead and
shape opinion to longer delay.
8ix.General Proposition*.
I lay down the following general prop
osltlone, which to my mind are not to
be disputed by any one but lunatics:
1. The white men of the South were
never more united or more determined thnn
they are now In jbe purpose to maintain
white supremacy In each and every nart of
every Southern state, regardless of negro
majorities, and the thought of social equal
ity In as Improbable, or even more so than
the Idea of political equality. The two go
hand In hand, and ran not he separated.
“2. The negro was never more Intent
on contesting In every way the disposition
of the whites. Their teachers, preach
ers, politicians, and every organization that
they have formed, one_ and t” “““ *—*

from false teachers and had leaders, who
are rapidly driving the white* to despera
tion and to tba massacre of tne negroes
and to a race war, which can have only
one result—the destruction of the negro
race.
Remedies Offered*
. “When I come to discuss the remedy,
or remedies, for the conditions of which
I have spoken, we confront difficulties
and obstacles which appear almost inspr
mountable. These will grow small and dis
appear one by one, If we, aa a people,
shall realize the necessity for action, and,
however draatlc the remedies may be, set
about applying them promptly and vigor
ously. If we move forward bravely, we
can not fall to overcome every obstacle,
but there Is no time to lose, and the first
thing Is to become thoroughly satisfied
that the dlaease Is desperate, and that ws
muit act without further delay. The storm
center for all this trouble Is the necessity
for the protection of the white women of
the Kouth from the fiends who have
been turned loose upon us by northern
fanatics, and we will stop at nothing,

Three such ' excsllent propositions
were offered In Rome Saturday for the
Seventh congressional district agricul
tural school that the governor and
trustees postponed final action until
October 28, when a meeting will be
held In Atlanta.
Permanent organization of the dis
trict trustees was perfected with Hon.
W. M. Jones, of Dalton, as chairman,
And John W. Bale, of Lafayette, as
secretary.
Bartow county's proposal was for the
gift of Euharlee Institute and 200 acres
of land, located seven miles from Car-
tersvllls. The buildings are valued at
826,000 and the lands at 85,000. Dif
ficulties arose, however, over the fact
that the land was In three disconnect
ed lots, and the purpose Is to have
the property In nno continuous body.
It was proposed, however, to amend the
bid so os to meet this objection.
Cobb county offered 200 acres of
land, alx miles from Marietta and two
miles from Powder Springs, with sta.
tlons on both the Southern and Sea
hoard. In addition to the land 88,600
cash was offered, with assurances that
If two weeks more was allowed that It
could be made 812,000.
Floyd offered any one of three tracts
of 200 acres each, within three miles
of Rome, and 810.000 In cash. The
Romans stated that If granted further
time more money could be given. Two
other propositions of land only were
not considered.
After discussion, a rssolutlon offered
by Senator Dobbs, of Marietta, reject
ing all bids and calling for new ones,
was adopted. Judge A. L. Bartlett,
of Paulding; Ordinary T. W. Harbin, of
Gordon, and Sam Carter, of Murray,
were named a committee to visit all
the sites between now and the next
meeting and render a report. \V. G.

THREE MEN INJURED
BY FALLING WALLS
Chicago, Oct. 8.—The heart of the
warehouse district In Twenty-second
street, east of Hoisted street, was
threatened early this morning by a fire
that burned the four-story warehouse
of the 'Morgan Sash and Door Com
pany, causing a loss nf 8100,000.
Three men, who had Joined a great
crowd that filled the street, were In
jured as a result of the falling of the
walls of the company's building.
At the Grand.
George Ade’s musical satire, "The
Sultan of Sulu,” which comes tonight
and Tuesday to the Grand, has some
thing besides the wit of Its lines to
commend It. There Is a whole lot of
funny material that haa been Intrusted
to people clever enough to bring tho
humor out, and there Is delightfully
catchy music and singers of ability to
sing It. These are the real reasons why
"The Sultan of Sulu" is a lasting suc
cess, although the artistic scenery and
oriental costumea play no small part In
the hit of the operetta.
George Ade has made for himself a
place In the annals of American enter
tainment that Is essentially his own.
The successful things he has written
demonstrate whnt Is the Ade niche In
the American theater. It Is his facul
ty of writing a simple, lucid and well-
defined story and making It the thread
upon which to suspend keen comedy
and comedy characters that has con
tributed Inrgely to his success’. This
sort of thing Is peculiarly Ade's work.
"The Sultan of Sulu" Is his first and
probably most successful work. The
story of the conquest and Americaniza
tion of the oriental potentate was much
more of a story than we had been wont
to find In our musical comedy. As a
result It Is still popular after four years
and bids fair to continue successfully
for several seasons to come.
There will be a matinee Tuesday.
