“ECONOMY” THE SLOGAN OF G. 0. P. MANY MEASURES DOOMED. ITEESRIKO committees in con trol IN BOT HHOCSES. Spasm of Economy Did Not Develop Until the Government Had Been Involved la the Outlay of Several Millions for Concessional Com mittee Rooms—Senator Stevrart Wants to Increase the Pnbiio Rev enues by Doubling the Tax on Beer. By R. M. Larner. Washington, Dec. 10.—" Economy” in the public expenditures Is the Republicai slogan at both ends of the Capitol, and the friends of river and harbor improvements, public build ings, good roads, pure food, and the cotton claim are alarmed for fear these measures will be pushed to the rear and smothered to death at the close of the session. In the House these meas ures and similar bills, can only receive consideration through the courtesy of the Committee on Rules, which is dominated by Speaker Cannon. In the Senate unanimous consent is required to get any of these propositions before that body, so there is trouble all along the line for all legislation during the present session, which does not pass muster before the steering committees of the two Houses. Disposed to Resent the “Gng" Rule. Some of the less conspicuous mem bers of the Republican party in the House and Senate, who are not allow ed to have much to do with shaping party legislation, are disposed to re sent what they call the “gag” rule of the steering committees. The point is made that in spite of the deficit in the Treasury, this sudden spasm of econo my did not develop until the Senate and the House had involved the gov ernment in an outlay of several million dollars to provide additional commit tee rooms for individual senators and representatives in the immmediate vi cinity of the Capitol. Two valuable squares fronting the Capitol were purchased under condem nation proceedings during last year, and the work is being pushed forward as though the fate of the government depended upon each congressman being provided with a private committee room. Along the same line the proposi tion is under consideration to increase the salary of the President, Vice Presi dent, cabinet and members of Con gress. In the executive departments the annual estimates bristle with rec ommendations for increases in the sal aries of the high officials, while the pruning knife is vigorously employed among the lower salaried employes. Plenty of Views on Economy. There are so many conflicting view's in Congress on the subject of “econo my” that it is difficult to separate the economical sheep from the grafting goats. For instance, here are two bills recently introduced in the House. One proposes to grant fifteen days’ leave of absence, each year, without loss of pay to rural free delivery letter car riers. The other bill appropriates $15,- 000 to enable an agent of the Depart ment of Agriculture to visit Europe and Asia to study the foreign natural enemies or means of control of the gypsy moth and the brown tail moth, and for the introduction of such of these as promise to be useful in con trolling the two irisects named in America. Now, the chances are that the leave of absence to the rural deliv ery letter carriers will be denied on the ground that the provisions for the rural delivery service is already exces sively large. On the other hand, past experience justifies the presumption that the “gypsy moth” and the “brown tail moth” will be provided for in a snug little corner of the agricultural appropriation bill. Wants Tax on Beer. Above the clamor for rigid economy Is heard the voice of Senator Stewart, of Nevada, crying aloud for an in crease in the revenues by placing an additional tax on beer. The venerable Senator declares that the present tax on beer is too small and should be doubled. He claims that the govern ment needs more money to meet the demand made upon it, and as there ap pears to be no intention of revising the tariff, the easiest way to raise additional revenue is to double the tax on beer. The Serfator is very severe on the brewers. He not only contends that they do not pay sufficient tax, but he also charges that they do not brew a health-giving beverage. He asserts that if statistics were obtainable on the subject it would be shown that the beer brewed in this country kills one-half of the people who drink it. Can it be possible that the ancient Senator from Nevada, who goes Into retirement on March 4, next, has lost his thirst? NEWTON EXPLAINS HOW HE WAS DECEIVED. Continued from First page.

WHITE SUPREMACY BASED ON JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO The Absolutely Essential Factor in Settling the Race Question, Says Ex-Congressman Fleming. Augusta, Dec. 10. —Apropos of the discussion of the race problem agita tion following the letter of Senator Bacon to Congressman Hardwick, Ex- Congressman W. H. Fleming gave out an interesting interview to-day. “I am not in active politics,” he said, “and do not desire to be—but every good citizen ought to take an interest in public affairs. “The race question at the South cer tainly does present a problem—a dif ficult problem. Its proper solution must come from far-sighted wisdom, not from blinding passion nor misleading sentiment. Better than optimism and better than pessimism is facing the truth, be it for better or for worse. “In seeking the solution of any dif ficult problem, the first step should be to eliminate the impossible schemes proposed, and then concentrate on some scheme that is at least pos sible. "We often he’ar the epigrammatic dictum that there are but three pos sible solutions of our race problem, deportation, annihilation or assimila tion (involving miscegenation). I ven ture to assert that all three of those so-called possibilities are impossibilities —two of them certainly are. Not one of the three presents a working hypo thesis. Physical facts prevent deporta tion. Physical facts backed by our religion, our civilization, our very selves, forbid annihilation. Physical facts stressed by an ineradicable race pride bars the way against assimila tion. Let us face these truths. The negroes are going to stay In the South, and so are the whites. "The plainly sensible thing to do is to devise the best modus vivendi or working b'asis by which the greatest good can be accomplished for ourselves and our posterity. Very First Essential. “The first, the absolutely essential factor in such a plan, so far as hu man ken can now forsee, is white su pn macy- a supremacy arising from natural superiority, but based on jus tice to the negro. “Those demagogues whose stock in trade is ‘hating the nigger,’ may gain some temporary advantage for them selves, but they will achieve nothing permanent for the good of the state or nation. Injustice and oppression will not solve any of the problems of the ages. God did not so ordain His universe. “Proud of our race we refuse to amalgamate with the negro, never theless, the negro is a human being, and within the 'brotherhood of man,’ and under the ‘fatherhood of God.’ “Moreover he is an American citi zen and protected as such by guar antees of the constitution, that are as irreparable, I had almost said, as the bfil of r'ghts itself. No Repeal of Amendments. “Nothing could be more useless than for the South to permit Itself to .be deceived by those who would wage a wordy warfare for the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. That is another one of the impossible solutions which should be promptly rejected by all level-headed men who seek the truth. We had just as well bay the moon. As against such blind folly, we may always expect a solid North, East and "West, and a South In worse po litical Isolation than It Is to-day. “Nor if such a thing as repealing these amendments were possible, would it be wise or desirable even for the South. While it is true that no two races as distinct as the Anglo-Saxon TO HANDLE MEN To Do So Successfully One Must Ac quire Self-Control. A foreman in a great locomotive works tells how he acquired self-con trol after it had been lost through the coffee habit: "I find myself obliged to write you about Postum Coffee," he premises. “I have been a great tea and coffee drinker for over 40 years and can say that it made me almost a total wreck. I am a night foreman in the American Locomotive Cos., and have to take my dinner with me; also a bottle of tea or coffee. In time it got to be so that there was not a night, for over a year, but that I would have a headache or heartburn or both. I went to the doctors almost every week to see If they could do some thing for me. They said It was the tobacco habit that did the mischief. “So I gave up tobacco, but It did not help me any. I got so nervous that the men under me did not like to work for me, as I could not use them as men ought to be used. I was nerv ous, Irritable and would find fault all the time. "Two months ago I took dinner with some friends who gave me what I supposed was a cup of coffee. They explained that it was Postum Coffee and my friend's wife said that she hsd used it about six months and that during that time had no headache such as she was formerly subject to, and that she felt ao wall all the time.

DECEMBER 11. 1901. and the negro can live together on terms of perfect equality under a free government, yet it is equally true that without some access to the ballot, present or prospective, some partici pation in the government, no inferior race could long protect itself against reduction to slavery in many of Its substantial forms—and the South wants no more of that curse. XVliite Majority Increasing. “Negro domination is not possible in the South for many generations, except with an increased proportion of ne groes of which there is no present prospect. The census shows that the previous numerical majority of the whites over the blacks in the ten dis tinctive Southern states was increased by 1,002,662 from 1890 to 1900. This In crease occurred to some extent in each one of the ten states, except Missis sippi; and Louisiana changed from a black majority of 798 in 1890 to a white majority of 78.818 in 1900. In a typical Southern city the death rate in 1903 for white was 11.40 per thousand—for negroes it was 27.58 per thousand. These figures are signifi cant. Nature exacts obedience to her laws. She knows neither pity nor re venge. "Moreover, the immigration from all Europe aids the whites; the negroes have no outside source of supply. “The building of the Panama canal with the inevitable industrial develop ment of the South, will certainly ac celerate and augment white immigra tion, and no doubt the census of 1910 and succeeding decades will show re sults similar to those of 1900. Thus is our margin of safety on the score of numbers continually increasing. Gives the Negro Justice. “In the face of these facts, we can afford to give the negro Justice with out imperiling white supremacy. “If future years should develop enough race pride in the negroes to make them gravitate to one locality, they might gain ascendency there, but there are no signs of such a movement now, and Georgia at least is in no danger of such a catastrophe. “As regards developments of the Im mediate future under the present fed eral administration, it Is not in the power, if it were in the heart, of Pres ident Roosevelt to do the South much permanent harm, and for one, I do not believe he has any intention of carrying his broad philosophy of a ‘square deal’ to the extent of putting ’black heels on white necks.’ If he should attempt it. he would fail. “There is nothing in the constitution of the United States even as amended that confers the ballot on the negro, or on any one else. The gist of the fifteenth amendment is that it prohib its a state from discriminating against any citizen on account of his race. Such a provision in the laws of Rus sia would prevent the existing persecu tion of the Jews. Any state in the Union has the right to keep ignorance and vice away from the ballot box, provided In doing so it does not draw a line of race discrimination. Georgia Is Fortunate. “Georgia has beei) more fortunate than many of her sister states. She redeemed herself first after reconstruc tion, and has maintained her white supremacy without violating the fed eral constitution, in the language of the day, ‘by disfranchising the negro,’ and thus endangering her federal rep resentation under the fourteenth amendment. In her future white su premacy she is just as safe as any of her sister states. Their necessities may have called for such laws. Our necessi ties do not. “Georgians ought to have enough common sense in the future as they have had in the past, not to do a doubtful and dangerous thing when there is no need for it. “Besides, the so-called disfranchise ment of negroes under the state laws cannot eliminate them as voters. A large and increasing proportion will always be able to qualify themselves to vote. We will still be obliged to have a white primary, or else fight over that portion of the negro vote that is qualified. The "grandfather clause' in other states do not keep out negroes; they simply let in whites who would otherwise be disqualified. Our sister states will still have their primaries. "To offer one of these disfranchise ments laws in Georgia as a political necessity or a permanent substitute for a white primary is a patent fraud. Unfortunately it is a subject rich In possibilities for the demagogue. There in lies the pity of It." M AC ONB APTISTsTo - CALL NEW PASTOR. In Place of Rev. J. G. llarrlson, Who Is Going Abroad.

She Gave Them Worthless Checks. Mrs. Chadwick told the bankers that her securities were netting $750,000, and she would be glad, she said, to allow the first Income, after the Citi zens Bank was made trustee, to be used to settle the bank's claims and bonds. But the Income never came within reach of the bank. Many times the bank was hard pressed for funds. When dividends were to be made, the president and cashier skirmished for funds. In order to help them out, Mrs. Chadwick at one time gave them a check for $50,000 which came back marked "No funds.’’ She gave two other checks for $25,000 each, but the next day telephoned to Mr. Beckwith not to use them.

It has no bad effect upon the sys tem, and gradually eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. Such a thing could not be possible If Peruna contained any drugs of a narcotic nature. SCHOOL FUND APPORTIONED CHATHAM GETS $47,517.75 BESIDES ITS SHARE OF THE FLUIDS FROM CONVICT HIRE.
