Marshall the vice-president and when the late Benjamin R. Tillman was in the United States Senate from South Carolina. The man who told the stories w'Hf' real Kentucky "Colonel," so far as it is possible to be one with the \ ? J u-. id law in force, At any- 1 t.r the Colonel told how Senatoi Till Yn?> i>i let* v isiti'd the Bluegrass sec tion of Kentucky with a chautauoua onjanissat i<>n, It was while Tillman was at the height of his greatest, popularity and he could always dray.' Si crowd of from 5,000 to 10,000 peo pie when it was announced that "Pitchfork Ben" was to be on hand. Well, according to the Colonel, the biggest crowd the Blue-grass ever saw outside the Kentucky derby, was there. .There were beautiful 'Women and brave men from everywhere. The people of the greatest coifimo.iiwealtn under all of Heaven's bluest skies was there, God bless them all. Arriving at the small town where the lecture was to be delivered from the court house steps, Tillman found himself faced by thousands of peo ple, not one of whom, he had ever seen before. He began to read his speech but did not seem to hit it up just right. .The. weather was too hot or the crowd too big, or some thing- Tillman floundered for hall an hour but just could not get started ritrht. Then some one in the crowd yclkd, "Take the bridle off and just sav what you .please. In the words of the Kentucky Col-. on.1,, that was just what the Pitch fork senator was wanting. It was like throwing a rabbit in a briar patch He cut loose and discussed the Force bill, the negro question and white supremacy, jabbed his pitch fork first into th-.^ Hides ofs the Rt*> publican^ then the Democrats, when he did not approve of the latter, and worked the crowd up to such a pitch of enthusiasm that he (held them for two l\ours. 11 ia &akl to eclipsed anything William J. Bryan or anv of the other big headlines ever attempted. The cause ot the senator's embarassment was due to the' fact that he had forgotten h:s eye glasses. '?It was because of this trip through Kentucky an<\ because of his great friendship, for Senator Blackburn ot Kentucky, that Tillman later sent one of his friends to the Bluegrass sec tion with a commission to buy -two of the best carriage horsefe that money could get. This grlend, Major Dick Anderson of Edgefield, and for m??y years and until his recent death an employe of the senate, went to Kentucky. He got two fine horses and Tillman named them Joe Blapk burn and Joe Bailey, then in his prime and a senator from Toxas Tillman drove his two horses until one of them ran away throwing Mrs. Tillman out and smashing the car riage. The pair of horses was sold and doubtless found their way back to the Bluegrass fields of old, Kentucky, or wherever all good thoi oughbreds go.-P. H. McGowan, ot Washington, in S. C. Gazette. The Gaffney . Ledger relates the following incident: "A citizen of New York, visiting in Gaffney this week, went into a local store and purchased a pair of shoes. Upon re ceiving the wrapped package, the visitor asked: "Mow much do I owe you?" C. K. White, the salesman I named the price of the shoes. "And how much is the tax?" the purchaser wanted to know. Upon being in formed there was no tax, the New Yorker expressed astonishment, de claring the purchase was the first he had made in South Carolina without being required to pay a tax.** There are visitors to the state, of course, who are anxious to impress you with a sense of their importance, also with a sense of everythnig being wrong and backward in South Caro lina, while it is just right fn every particular where they come from, and due allowance must be made for this fact. But it is also true that these numerous taxes on about every thing that one has to buy in South Carolina are not popular, and it is also true, or appears to be true, that^ they are thoroughly unscientific and unjust when it comes to raising mon ey for tax purposes. The Tax Com mission has had the good sense, thanks to the lusty kick that has been raised, to lighten the cosmetics tax; and by the time the Legisla ture meets next winter some way ought to be found to change the whole system and get it on an equi table and satisfactory basis,?
