De clares That He is Dealing Not Only With the President, But With All the Members of the Cabinet (Who Are Leagued Together) As Well. Washington, D. C, Jan. 14. With the avowed intention of placing both Attorney General Bonaparte and Postmaster-General Meyer in the Ananias Club, Senator Tillman to-day address ed the Senate. Mr. Tillman saiid it was not pleasant for him to intrude his personality upon the attention of the Senaite. "I have enough notoriety al ready," declared Mr. Tillman, "and I am not anxious to adver tise myself, but the Senate knows the provocation I am under and I trust wiill bear with me." Speakdng of tbe differences of recollection between himself and Attorney-General Bonaparte, he declared : "I am ready to have my word put against his in .ny court in Christendom and to let my rec ord in the past fkw truthfulness, honesty and integrity stand against his." He asserted that tie was not only dealing with PiesiJent Roosevelt, "but with all the cab inet officers, who are in league, 'because, according to the news papers they are discussing me at cabinet meetings and are deter mined to accomplish my futh It possible. "When I deal with as unscru pulous men as I do now, I ajn prepared fr anything, even the assassin's knife. My mail is 'be ing held up. I am satisfied of that. I will not say my room has been broken into, (because there are keys that can open every thing in this capitol. They njay not have stolen my papeis, But they are one." Tells of Talk With Bonaparte, Mt.' Tillman then nanated a conversation he had over the tel ephone yesterday with Attorney General Bonaparte in which he asked whether a suit liad been brought against the Southern Or egon Company, the holder of the military road grant. "He did not know,' said Mr. Tillman "There had been some corres pondence and discussion back and forth as to the method thaU should be pursued by the special counsel," he said. "I pressec him for an immediate answer, yes 01 no. He said he would make in quiry ofi the clerk charged with that business and let me mow In the course of a few minutes he returned to the 'phone and said he would write tne a lettei." Mr.- Tillman referred to the motive of the attorney-genera'. "We all knqw how slow the pro cesssspf the law are, especially against millionaires. We all know the process of being 'realy bo do it,' of being 'anxioua to do it.' " Mt. Tillman announced he had received another circular sent out by Dtairr in which the follow ing statement ws made : He vanted to know, what de gree of. falsehood Nvs to be charged to the two cabinet of ficers "or head dorks or boot licks or whatever the President has around him,"' . Mr. Tillman laid 'stress upon the fact that fcje had not attempted to obtain my given government . tend, but only to'Durchase. land that toad bitn given a corporation, with th( stip ulation that that' corporation should seU it to the public t $0 per sere.'

He served in the Confeder ate army with credit and has been practicing law with eminent success here for many years. He was thiee times married, first to Miss Hubbard, second to Mrs. Baker and last to Mirs. Pearce, who survives him with four chil dren. He also leaves one son by his first marriage, Rev. Hubbard Argo, who is rector of a very strom? Episcopal church in New York. The funeral will be held Sun day afternoon from the Church of the Good Shepherd. The North Carolina Cxm mis sion for the Alaskan-Pacific Ex position to open next June is in session here conferring as tcx just what North Carolina will want to undertake in the way of an ex hibit and drafting a bill carry ing the needed appropriation for this representation which is es timated to be about $25,000, cer tainly not less than that amount, the commissioners say.

College and one member of the State Geolog ical Survey. The bill involves an appropriation of $150,000 and will finally have to go to the finance committee also. This amount is designed to be appor tioned to counties applying for it, each county to invest three times as much as it receives aid from this State fund and the work to be under the supervision of the State Commission. Bill Governing Truckers' Asso ciation. Then bill introduced in the Jtouse by Representative Norton of New Hanover for the protec tion of the perishable truck indus try of eastern North Carolina is one that the Truckers' Associa tion has been wanting for several years. This bill puts the Truck ers' Association under the con trol of the State board of agricul ture which is empowerei to elect the directors of the associa tion and to tax the transporta tion companies a cent and a half half a crate on all strawberries handled and a cent a crate on all other perishable truck, the money thus raised to be paid into the State treasury and used to main tain the agents described, who become thereby State officers. The railroads, it is understood, are as anxious for the law as the truckers, for the better the truck ers' business, the better the bus iness of the railroads. The bill is now m the hands of the com mittee on agriculture of the House, and the committee will take it mo as soon as word is re ceived from the Truckers' Asso ciation what day a delegation from that body can te in Raleigh to be heard on the merits of the question.

Editor Eriitipie: Relative to your valued article in Thursday's issue of the Enter prise in which you bring very plainly before the people of this city the question of child educa tion, I desire to say that the ar ticle sounds a key note and as an old citizen comes as a revelation to me. If the conditions are as you say they are, then we ought to sell the main street graded school property and build more school houses. My suggestion is that there be built a graded school 'building for each of the four wards. This will give us two more schools, making four in all and will meet a demand of Ltljis.Jthj'iving little city. This main street property was prac tically a "gift from Mr. Cox when we consider what he let the city have it for (less than $8,000) and the present value of it. It will bring on the market to-day at least seven or eight times that much or from $50,000 to $60,000. What do you think of this sug gestion of the four school houses? We would be very glad to hear from you through the columns of your enterprising paper, if you desire to publish this suggestion. Signed Old Resident. Says its too Tame. Mr. T. J. Gold who has been in Raleigh on legal business with State Auditor Dixon looked in on the Legislature while there yesterday. He says 'twas too tame to be interesting, which is probably due to the contrast with the tormy . session two years ago. Announcement. Mrs. Nora O.

FIGHTING WHITE PLAGUE The North Carolina Associa tion for the Prevention of Tuber culosis, held a great meeting at Charlotte this week which re sulted in a gceat deal of interest in this most important subject.

THE Jury Awards Harry Davis Four Thousand Dollars Had Ask ed for Ten Thousand Dollars Damages for Injuries Received More Than a Year Ago Case Had Been on Docket for Long Time. 'In Superior Court this week in Greensboro the trial of the case of Harry G. Davis, by his next friend, vs. City of High Point was disposed of Young Davis was suing for $10,- 000 damages for iniunes he received about 18 months ago. The case was given to the jury and shortly after a verdict was reached awarding the plaintiff $4,000 damages. The plaintiff, who is only about 14 year of age, in Septem ber, 1906, was sent down the main street of High Point by hi father, J. A. Davis, on an errand according to evidence introduced yesterday. The plaintiff was on horseback and in going down the street his horse passed undei an electric wire belonging to the city that had fallen across th street and was suspended above the horse's head. The boy seiz ed the wire to cast it over hia head and both he and the horss. were knocked down by the elec tric current that was passing through the wire. The evidence of the plaintiff tended to show that the injuries received by the lad were due to the negligence of the city in allowing the cross arm, to which the wire had been attached, to rot and break. The wire in falling struck a live wire and became heavily charged with electricity so when the boy caught hold of it he was knocked senseless. It was claimed that the boy's nervous system was severely shocked and that his eyesight was impaired. The plaintiff ask ed for $$10,000 damatges. The defendant did not intro duce any testimony, but in his argument cwinsel for the de fense endeavored to convince the jury that the evidence of the plaintiff showed that the boy's injuries were due more to his own negligence than to the neg ligence of the defendant. The case has been on the dock et for more than a year, but ow ing to the congested condition of the docket it had never been reached. Announcement.
