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 ing back to the days before the war, and coming down. from reconstruction times and the subsequent overthrow of the car- pet-lmg regime of South Carolina. “There are some people, and many of them run newspapers, while others have occupied high places In the political world, who say that the race problem la settling Itself 'and that none but air * * disturbed about the conditions. diction, that In less than ten years, 1 fear 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” “““ *—* men and black women and sternly compel ily difference. “d.

As a sui race, we owa it to ourselves to protect the good and Innocent newroes. of whom there are raany—milllons or them. In fact— 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, a long time past ha*e turned over fifteenth amendment*, and In every practicable war, the Republican naf government Is givf fort to this Hr Ing aid aud com- overnment .. „ .ala Idea. *3.

In such hot water that, they would move on and out of the country. “It Is Idle to try to put out a fire and prevent conflagrations If men are allowed to run about with matches ami try to re start It.

MISS GLENN NAMES POWERFUL WARSHIP LEAGUE TO INDORSE T FOR LEGISLATURE Hearst’s Workers' Want to Combine Forces to De feat Bosses, New york, Oct. 8.—The following statement, has been Issued by the Inde pendence' League: > “An Important object of the Inde pendence League has been to secure the election of a legislature which could be counted upon to assist the state administration In carrying * out the reforms that are advocated by the platform of the Independence League; and to which the state ticket Is pledged. The Independence League has realized that a wholly Independent campaign might result In the failure to elect a majority In the legislature favorable to the policies of the- independence League and the reforms contemplated by the league. The Independence League has, therefore, been disposed to Indorse only distinctly fit and worthy candidates that should be nominated upon the Democratic ticket, feeling confident that the combined forces of the two parties would Insure the elec tion of such creditable representatives, CALL FOR NEW BIDS IN 7THJISTRICT No Decision Reached as to Location of Agricul tural College. \ Newport News.

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.

PRESBYTERHOlEET NEAR "BIG POPLAR" WOMAN FALLS INTO TUB -OF SCALDING WATER New York, Oct. 8,—The cries of a woman who had fallen Into a bath tub of scalding water aroused the guests of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel early this morning.

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. At the Bijou. "Bankers and Brokers” Is the title of the new musical comedy In which Yorke and Adams will make their sec ond annual appearance at the Bijou. Monday night and all the week, and Just at this time of “seething" finance Is an appropriate and catchy title. It Is said to be one of the greatest hits of all the laugh-making .plays and seems to be produced on exceptionally good principles. Many musical numbers and special ties are Introduced and the action and "go" of the piece are said to be rapid nnd artistic. Two magnificent stage settings are displayed, and In numbers and surroundings the company Is with out a peer In all the realm of musical comedy. The song hits, of which there are twenty, Include such well-known New York successes as "Just a Little Fond Affection," "Underneath a Para sol," "Mary of the Prairie," "Mooning Time," "Egyptian Maid," "Would You Leave Your Happy Home for Me?" "The Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword," • Lovelace. Ideal Skating Weather. BODY WAS MINGLED RY PASSENGER TRAIN Special to The Geenltn.
