eeutn’ reason was opened bera Saturday
night by Senator Benjamin it. Tillman,
who dellrerad hla noted lecture on "The
Race Problem," and offered a remedy for
Ita solution. The senator dwelt at some
length on the recent race riot In Atlanta,
and said that such outbreaks' came aa a
natural consequence of the assaults

The senator stated that lynching had
proven a failure as a means of prevent

shape opinion to longer delay. k
Six General Propositions. 1 -
I lay down the following general prop-
oaltlona, which to my mind ah not to
-be dlaputed by any one but lunatics:
1. The white men of the South were
never more united or more determined than
they ore now In the purpose to maintain
white supremacy In each and every part of
every Southern state, regardless of negro
majorities, and the thought of social equal
ity la oa Improbable, or even mors so than
the Idea of political equality. The two go
band In hand, and can not be separated.
“2. The negro was nevar more Intent
on contesting In every way tbs disposition
of the whites. Their teachers, preach
ers. politicians, and every organisation that
they have formed, one and all, are bent
ou compelling a recognition of the whltea
by the rights given “to the negroes by the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and
„ _.tween white women Xhd
black men. The fact that the negro rav
ishes on the white woman, and the white
man only lowers himself to gratify lust
with a willing negro woigan makes the
only difference.
* r d. The most Important and burnlni
Issue with us Is how to prevent rape, ratu
er than avenge It. lynching has failed,
we muat try something else. As a auperfor
race, we owe It to ourselrea to protect
the good and li ‘ —

one result—the destruction of the negro

Remedies Offered.
*‘^’h«n I come to: discuss the remedy,
or remedies, for the conditions of which
haye spoken, we confront difficulties
and obstacles which appear almoat insur
mountable. These will grow small and dis
appear one by one, Jf we, aa a people,
shall realise the necessity for action, and,
however drastic the remedies may be, set
about applying them promptly and vigor
ously. If we move forward bravely, we

CALL FOR NEW BIDS
IN 7THJISTRICT
No Decision Reached as to
Location of Agricul
tural College.
Newport News, Va.. Oct. 8.—The new
and powerful armored cruiser North
Carolina was successfully launched

ple. The ship's sponsor was Miss Re-
bekah Williams Olenn, daughter
lOovernor R. B. Olenn, of North Caro
lina, who waa present with his staff
and an escort of prominent North Car
ollnans.
Three auch excellent propositions
were offered In Rome Saturday for the
Seventh congressional district agricul
tural school that the governor and
trustees postponed Anal action until
October, 26, when a meeting will be
held In Atlanta.
Permanent organization of the dla.
trlct 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-
tersvflle. The buildings are valued at
825.000 and the lands at <5,000. 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 one continuous body.
It wa* proposed, however, to amend the
bid ao as to meet this objection.
Cobb county offered 200 acres of
land, six mites from Marietta and two
miles from Powder Springs, with sta
tions on both the Southern and Sea
board. In addition to the land <8,600
caah was offered, with assurances that
If two weeks more waa allowed that It
could be made <12,000.
Floyd offered any one of three tracts
of 200 acres each, within three mils*
of Home, and <10,000 In cash. The
Romans stated that If granted further
time moro money could be given. Two
other propositions of land only were
not considered.
After discussion, a resolution offered
by Senator Dobbs, of Marietta, reject
ing all bids and calling for new ones,
wa* 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. W, Q.
Smith, the government Soil export, .will
accompany them.
In addition to the board of trustees
Governor Terrell, Professor J. S. Stew
art, agent of the University of Geor-
? la; Professor D. J. Crosby and Pro-
sssor W. G. Smith, of the department
of agriculture. In Washington, were

POLITICAL CLUB
Typos and Other Trades
men to Take an Active
Hand in Politics^
In the future the organize)] working
men of Atlanta propose to take a hand
In. political matters of the city, county
and state governments. Following the
regular monthly meeting of {he union
Sunday afternoon, about one hundred
of the best known printers of the city
set In motion a workingman's politi
cal club.
Temporary organization was perfect
ed by the election of J. J. Hobby as
chairman, and Earle E. Griggs as sec
retary. Though Inaugurated by the
typos,, It will by no means be confined
to that profession, nor was It formed to
foist the particular ambition of any
man or men.
Earle Griggs said that It was time
working men broke away from blind
adherence to old political faiths, and
that a spirit of self-help should move
and actuate the men of all trades.
Personal selfishness should actuate no
one, but that It should be the selfish
ness only of the organised workingman
and his allied Interests.
A committee of flfteeit was author
ized to formulate rules and regulations
for the- government of the working
man's political club. None but bona
flde workingmen, with active member
ship and working at their trade, shall
be eligible to membership In the club.

from fourteen town* and cities of
Northeast Georgia will arrive In Wash*
Ington Wednesday morning to attend
the semi-annual meeting of the Au<
gusto Presbytery, which will convene
In Washington Wednesday evening.
The first business session will occur
Wednesday evening at 9 o'clock, at

and the names of those ministers who
are -to deliver sermons during the
progress of the week’s meetings will be
announced. Rev. R. B. Smith, of
Greensboro, a ruling elder. Is moderator

One Interesting fact In connection
with the approaching session of the
Presbytery is the fact that Just one
hundred and ten years ago, In 1796, the
flrst Presbytery to be hel(i tn the Em
pire State of the South was held under
a large poplar tree, Just within the
city limits. The tree Is known as "The
Big Poplar." and Is an object of much
historic Interest.
The Presbytery closes Saturday
evening, but It Is very probable that
several of the ministers will remain
over to All Washington pulpits df other
churches Sunday momlng.

THEATERS !
:
At tbs 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 Ita lines to
commend it. There Is a whole lot of
funny material that has been Intrusted
to people clever enough to bring the
humor out, and there la delightfully
catphy 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 costumes 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 what Is the Ade niche In
the American theater. It Is hla facul
ty of writing a simple, lucid and well-
defined story nnd making It the thread
upon which to auspend keen comedy
and comedy characters that has con
tributed largely to his success. This
sort of thing la peculiarly Ade's work.
•'The Sultan of Sulu" Is his flrst 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 hid* fair to continue successfully
for several season* to come.
There will be a matinee Tuesday.
At th* Bijou.
"Banker* and Brokors” Is the title of
the new musical comedy In which
Yorke and Adams will make their aec-
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 he 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
and 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
arc 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?"
