Tillman’s Plan for Regulating the Suf frage in South Carolina
Columbia Avana GA July 22. A report on the Constitutional Convention reveals a focus on suffrage regulation aimed at disfranchising many Black voters while preserving white voting power. The plan centers on an educational literacy test for registration, with a five year probation, and excludes criminals, plus debates over women’s suffrage and other provisions like a homestead clause and dispensary issues. Senator Tillman publicly endorsed the literacy scheme, arguing it preserves white majorities and limits misuse of registration, while signaling women’s suffrage is unlikely to pass.

Washington relics and Niagara erosion facts mix in fragment tale
A fragmented reminiscence describes a museum encounter with Washington era artifacts and a visitor’s astonishment at the items. The text shifts to a Niagara Falls erosion estimate and a dubious medical ad for a patent cure, ending with a misfit sales pitch.
Wonderful Growth of the Differant Vines Inspires Nature Study
The writer muses on microscopic life and cosmic vastness, noting that unseen organisms shape all living things. He marvels at vines climbing lattices, the gourd’s rapid rise, and the germ within a carnation seed, while reflecting on human insignificance and the Creator’s magnitude. He cites Sir Robert Ball on boundless space, telegraphy to the sun, and distant stars, then sketches Georgia fields around Cyelonota and Tifton, praising local farming prosperity and the impact of example.
