(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Sept. 12.-8peclaI.)-Reporta
from noma of the email towns of the state
received here during the last few days In
dicate that a number of country merchanta
are opposed to Governor Mickey for re
election because he vetoed tho garnishment
law enacted by ,the last, legislature. From
one of these merchanta It Is learned that
the wholesale merchanta who were nflected
by the law had been doing the work of
creating the. opposition to Governor Mickey.
While th garnishment law van enacted
by the legislature at the Instance of tha
Retail Grocers' association and was osten
sibly a measure' of that organisation, there
la little doubt that the measure was really
a corporation measure Ihsplrcd and fost
ered by the packing houses and the rail
roads. In vetoing the bill Govfrnor Mickey
certainly brought down upon himself the 111
will of these corporations as well as the
retail grocers, but there was absolutely no
excuse for the bill becoming a law.
Had Governor Mickey signed the bill Its
effect would have been felt early In the
atrlke of the packing house employe and
It Is easy, to see 'now "that the packing
houses were anxious that the bill become
a law. It exempted 80 per cent of the
wages or salary of $3 or less. As a gen
eral proposition employes of the packing
houses had from fifteen to thirty days'
wages due them when tha strike was d
clared. Had the law been In effect those
they owed would have swooped down and
aecured a Judgment for their money. Thus,
early In the game would tbe employes have
been seriously handicapped.
TTiat the packing houses had long been
expecting a strike there Is little doubt, and
that this law was a part of their prepara
tion there Is less doubt. That the rail
roads also were Instrumental In passing
the bill seems reasonable to suppose for the
reason that at all times they are menaced
with labor troubles, and In recent years
tho situation has always been acute. Could
a good portion of the wages of the laborer
bo taken under garnishment proceeding
Just at the time he needed It most, It would
b a great weapon in the hads of a corpor
ation that Is fighting Its employes.
Nebraska allows Its farmer to retain a
homestead. Its banker to retain, $2,000 ex
empt from garnishment. In fart. It is Just
ns I'Urrat as any of the neighboring states:
The present garnishment law Is said to bo
sufficient, and that the one adopted by the
last legislature was merely a measure In
troduced at the behest of the big corpora
tions to more thoroughly place tbe I -rounder
their thumbs.

to set: u the race, proposition. In order
to break- lnti print, be wro'.e to Senator
Tlllmar. Jor, his ylewa on (tils question and
tlia-'udk'o "eipeotV-toi unswer him. The
)udg said he. did not. agree with THlmui..
but that he would have to take some time
In order to formulate his answer. In part,
his letter, from Senator Tillman follows:
Tn. act of the mob at Statesboro la to
be deplored but mora deplorable la the
fact that a whole family of white people
liuvd bean butchered, stumped out, by the
two flenda who were burnud and their ac
complices. The mora deplorable still is the
condition in tho southern states which
niuku such things possible and which
promises to make them of more frequent
occurrence In the future. Mob violence is
getting to be only loo common in this
country, but I thi k the burning of two
confessed murderers and condemned crim
inals in Georgia will not Jeopardize the re
publicans onu-ihousandth part as much as
the actlo.i of the mob in Colorado that
lias recently beun trying and condemning
men Jind exiling them and doing this out
side or the forms of law ,
Mobs are bad. but they are evidences
of a spirit of liberty.
. The southern pcopie are confronted by a
condition such as has never existed in the
' history of tho world. Two races, one of
which hag been slave to tho other, are liv
ing in the same country and under the law
they art entirely equal and entitled to all
the rights and privileges of cltlir.ns There
are 7si.00u- negroes in South Carolina and
only boo.Orto white people. For eight long
dlsimit years these ignorant and debased
negroes governed, it the wor can be ap
plies! to such rule as we had, and then the
white minority threw off the yoke. We ('Id
It because life had ceased to bu worth liv
ing on. the terms and conditions which ex
isted from 'US to '76.
From necessity we used force and fraud
to overcome the negro majority. The ne
groes were backed by the United States
government and the great republican
party. The whites had nothing but the
memory of a civilisation coming down to
them from a thousand years of Anglo
Saxon manhood. We used our brains and
managed to liberate ourselves from u con
dition that was hopeless and unendurable.
We have re-established law and order as
far as practicable, and are endeavoring to
preserve our 'Civilisation. The negroes have
tho memory of elgh'. years of license, and
inspired by the actions and utterances of
President Roosevelt they have given evi
dence only too plentiful of a hope and be
. lief that their time will oome again. Race
antagonism and hatred growa apace. The
whites are resolved to govern at whatever
coat, because experience has shown that
any other course means ruin.
Hints at Race War.
Tha criminal classes among the negroes
Increase at a fearful rate and unless the
northern people can be made to understand
that negro-equality Is something that will
not be tolerated and that no power In the
world ran force upon us. a race war is
Inevitable, with the result that the negroes
will be exterminated.
History la full of Instances where white
men have governed .white men ruthlessly.
There are object lessons in plenty through
out tha world today of the fact that tha
rncca are not equal, cannot be made so
either bylaw or constitution and that 'ne
white man govern wherever liu is in con
tact with any of tha colored races. Senti
mental Ideas and feelings will not settle
this qurstlon. The white people of Hie
south are on top and Intend to stay there.
White men of the north would do likewise
under similar circumstances. In intermed
dling with our louu) conditions, such as is
threatened by. the republican party, only
aggravates the alieaily strained relations
between the races, and while there may
be a bad state of affairs existing, by the
acta of violence by the blacks against tha
whites, and the whiles against the blacks
In retaliation' it Is useless to say that tha
republic, is Iri danger thereby. The north
am people ran help ua If they will by sym
pathy and co-operation, but they hava got
to unlearn many of the Ideas which have
come to them In the last forty years, and
most of all they must realise that the ne
groes will be put down and held down with
a bloody band regardless of consequences.
If the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments were repealed and the Idea that an
educated negro Is fit to govern white men
abandoned, the negrnoa would soon cease
to provoke the superior race and such acts
of blond and violence would be a -hlng of
the rsst.
With the republican party standing for
equality and demanding the punishment of
southern whites because they do ,mt sub
mit td negro domination, the antagonism
of the races will grow, and such deeds aa
that at Statesboro will be more frequent
than ever.
We are between the devil and the neep
sea, but we will protect our women end
we will stand by the principles and fi rm
of government of our fathers. Tours truly,
B. R. TILLMAN.

purpose to take a ettoke off their own bat.

for early planting, but this corn, even, is
ripening fast. Potatoes are being dug and
show an enormous yield of large tubers.
The hay crop Is made and the result Is
above the average in both quality and
quantity. The farmers .of this section of

ESTIMATED SHORTAGE OF TEN THOUSAND
Amount for Municipal Paving Plant
Included In Tbla and Doubta of
Ita Appropriation Are
Openly Expresaed.
Financial statements compiled by Comp
troller Lobeck show the general fund uf
the city ia at a very low ebb. The matter
waa taken up by the council In general
committee meeting yesterday afternoon
and City Engineer Roaewater asked that
all atreet repair work be stopped, aa no
money Is available for the purpose. He
said scores of resolutions ordering work
would have to be held back until the funds
are replenished, and added that more grad
ing and street work haa been done this
year than ever before.
The exhibit of the comptroller ahowa the
estimated shortage in the general fund will
be tl0.089.ll,' Including the 110,000 set aside
for a municipal asphalt plant.
Whether thla money has really been net
aside Is queetloned by Engineer Rosewater
and Acting Mayor Zlmman. No provision
has been made for the street department,
Inspectors of public works, removing dead
animals or miscellaneous items for the re
mainder of the year.
Councilman Back announced the discov
ery that the last legislature -had amended
the charter ao as to place the control of
the road fund, a heritage from the county.
In the hands of the council, taking It away
from the Park board. It la estimated by
Back that there should be about $10,000 In
tho fund, exclusive of work already or
dered and not paid for. Whether or not
the cduncll will attempt to spend thla
money was not decided. Several council
men said the Park board had used the
fund to good advantage and they did not
see why the council should try to wrest
the fund from It.

confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all wanton at the
