BEN TILLMAN TALKS 'TO AUGUSTA REPORTER Mopes Mannaing is to Win and Ready to Bet that Way. Believes President Has Strengthened Self. Tugusta, Sept. 2.-United States Senator 13. It. 'I'illiman ran over to Au gusta yesterday from 'i'renton to trains act pressing 1irivate business and re tirned to his home during the after noon. Ie was the guest of .\lr. HI C. Morrison while in the city. "Strike?" Why you newspaper boy. ought to know more about the strike outlook than I. Tlil ine what is going on today, anyhow." He was liiformed of the stbstance of the press ditpatches. "Well, they had, as you know, not gotten into the legislative attempt at handling the matter up to the tine that I left Wash ingon. 1, of course, can not forecast th outcome any more than can you newspaper men. President Wilson has worked faithfully on the coli)lcx prob len. le has found both sides unrea sonable-the managers more so than the men. It is a big question and a hard one to handle. All that I can say Is that, like you young men, I hope that a strike will not come on." "Senator," lie was asked, "who is going to wini the governorship over in your state?" "Manning, I hope." "Do you believe that he is going to beat Mr. Blease?" "Well, dts I said. I hope he will. At any rate I have a little money that I will put on the results, and I am not a betting man, as you know." "No doubt about Mr. Wilson's elec tion, is there, senator?" "There is always the element of doubt in a presidential election. To my mind, everytshing at this time in dicates the success of the democrats. ly information is, and my inference is, that the presiddnt's activity and course in the strike matter has great ly strengthened in among Lhe work ing men. I believe that he will defeat Mr. Hughes." "How are the crops over on the farm, senator?" "Corn is fine. Cotton is not so much. But," he i'dded with a chuckle, "that cotton price has gotten to be fine, hasn't it? The cotton price will make up where the cotton crop falls short." Senator Tillman was informed by re porters that the eastern papers were still commenting favorably on his "farwell" speech in the senate, when lie announced the burial of the "pitch fork," and rebuked Mr. Hughes for his "South in the saddle' utterances. lie said that lie, also ,had heard many coimmenits from the East on the address, and lie was pleased that it had been accepted in the spirit that it was amde. This address, by the by, made in the senate August 19th, just a few hours before Senator Tillian took the train for the Fouth, has been given more at tention probably, than any speech ever made by Mr. Tillman in the "Ameri can huse of lords," Th Chr'onicle last Sunday, printed it in full. The Washington correspondents say of it that it brought "tears in the sen ate, the expression of emotion that Comles from the heart"--somthing one i'arely seen in the upper house of con gress, "That (lay," as oine of the best known of the Washington correspondents has iput it, in writing to his paper, "in the center aisle of the senate, stood a mian whose name in American history will be linked some day with Calhoun, oi' Sumner', or hfayne, as the fiei'y symblol or milliancy--Hen Tiliman, of South Carolina, the "Pitchfork flen" of other days, when the vigor of life coursed through his veins." "it "'as dioubtless as unique a spmeech as has been heard in congress sinice the Civil WVar was fought," says this correspond~eint, adding: "Hen Tillman did not raIse a high-pitchod voice to scream defiance at Spodier, of Wiscon sin, lie was not thrusting his aggres sivo personality in the warmth of run ing dehate and cross-fr'e. Hie stood qtuietly his hands trembling as lhe lift-, ed a printed paper, therefronm to read to thme senate what may prove to he hits farewell speech. The senator is nearly 70 years old, aind is declining rapidliy.

THE PAS$INO OF THE ALLEN CLAN Jacwk Allen, LJast of the Famous Carroll County FaiY, Is Now IDead. Power iI MotinitflhIs. (E'dward L. t'owles in Charlotte Ob solver.) There is no more of the famous Al len clan around Miount Alry now. No' In Carroll cotunty or amid the Ilountain wilds where strong men doilillated the communIties by their rel)utItios and boldness. With the death or .lack Allen, the last of the great Allen leaders of (he mountain country passed away. Not that they are all dead and forgotten, for they will be remembered 'round about Mount Airy and Carroll county, Vir ginIa, and talked about for genera tions. Jack Allen, shot by George Mc Craw, who claimed self-defense, was a brother of Floyd and Sidna Allen and lived six miles from Mount AIry, N. C., over the Virginia line, half a mile or more. ".lack" was a big man pyiymIcal i v and had'his friends-plenty of them, as well as scores of admir ers anwong the younger men of the iounta!n country who looked upon him alwavs as a sort of generally con ceded "leader." -Jack was a crack shot and a fearless rider. Like others of his clan lie never knew the mean Ing of the word fear, and the men of the mountain country knew better than to cross pur'poses with Jack, be cause his ire once arotised, was an IrresIstible force. The mountain country back of Mount Airy and way up in the Car roll county section must be son to be apprecia toil. There are no illu sons al:out it. It's a su re-enough niountain couintry ..n1d tle people living thr.rea:outs arc "sure-enough" mountaineers far from savages or desperadoes or uncivilized barbarions of the wilds that some novelists have painted thei.

As an old mountalneer reiarked, inreferring to the subject matter as to why lie made corn whiskey out of his crop instead of "toting" it to town and selling it. "Well," said he, "I live up thar back in them hills, 30 miles 'or mnore from town. There beant no roads wutli considerin' and what's more It id take ine a day or more for my mules ter drag a load of corn ter market. Maybe I'd git .10 cents a bushel fer it when I got thar, and some of it I'd have ter keep ter feed critters with goin' en coming'. But I kin do this son.
