S2OO IN PRIZES AWARDED Some time ago we offered to give S2OO in prizes for the best advertise ments for Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey and in response received so many sample advertisements that it has taken our Committee several weeks to read them and make the selec tions. The Prizes have been awarded as follows; First prize SIOO, to J. R. Blake of 1141 Myrtle Ave., Baltimore.. Second Prize SSO, to E. C. Countryman of 414 Dlllayo Bldg., Syracuse. Third Prize $26, to W. S. Curdy of 73 Journal Bldg., Boston. Fourth Prize $lO, to W. J. Austin of 6 Berwick Park, Boston. Fifth Prize $lO, to J. M. Plunket of 7 Doane Street, Boston. Sixth Prize $5, to W. W. Westerly of 6668% Fulton St., Brooklyn. So far as we know each one of the prize winners Is an amateur artist and this goes to show what latent ability we may have stored away in our makeup unknown to 011 elves. The great secret In writing an ad vertisement Is In knowing what you are writing about, then make a plain statement of facts the same as if you were telling a friend of some event. To write a good advertisement, about Duffy’s Pure Malt Whiskey a person Rhould know the effect it has on nervous and run-down cases, and in cases of cold, bronchitis and lung trouble. One can then realize the strength ening effect it has on body, brain and nerve, and the aid It gives to the vital forces, thus enabling a person to write with a clear mind a concise, forceful argument. We are always ready to purchase at what it is worth any good Idea or advertisement, that is sent us by any readers of this paper. Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Rochester, N. Y.

Tarver, TILLMAN SHIS RIS ATTITUDE IS NOT UNDERSJOOD WASHINGTON.—Senator Tillman's attention was called to the headlines In many of our morning papers: ‘,Taft Rebukes Tillman.’' “Senator Taken to Task for Lauding Igno rance," etc. When asked about this criticism of him, supposing he was the one re ferred to by Mr. Taft, he said; "This was directly traceable to the mis statements and malicious editorials emanating from the two leading news papers in South Carolinu, in which my attitude was not clearly stated. In the first place, I am not opposed to negro education at all, provided It is of the right kind, knowing that education increases intelligence and intelligence increases the usefulness of the citizen. What I said and meant and by which I stick 1b this; "That the republican policy of the last 40 years has been to compel the South to recognize the political equality of tho negro. That in its essence would mean the domluaLlon of the negro in South Carolina and Mississippi and many parts of other Southern states. We have disfranchised every negro we could under the fifteenth amend ment and the only Instrumentality available was to require an eductv tlonal qualification. There Is now an agitation In South Carolina for compulsory education. That would mean a heavy burden .0 plrovUlo more schools which the white tax payers would have to boar and there could be no discrimination against the negro on aotount of raco or color. Hence we would present the spectacle of educating the negro at a very heavy expense to hurry for ward the contest for supremacy be tween the two races as roon as we should hKv>e given on the necess ary qualifications to vote, and be un doing what we found absolutely ne cessary to preserve our civilization. We never Intend to be governed by nytroes and whether educated or mt educated. Tho republican party it now seeking t.o debauch the south through Mr. Taft, who offers us two offices In every thousand of our popu lation and a pretended advancement of our material interests to Join that party. If the republicans will throw down and abandon once for all their efforts to compel the south to recognize the equality of the Caucasian and Lie African by repealing the fifteenth amendment, we can then have the control of our stale affairs and can then train the negro to make better citizens and aid In that “uplift” which Mr. Taft is so anxious ( J see brought, about. Hut we never expect to lift them high enough ourselves or allow any body else to "lift" them high enough to put their heels on our nec<ts, or govern us again, and the conflict of the races which seems to be inevit able will only be hastened by such talk as Mr. Taft indulges In."
