Washington, Jan. 16.?South Sar-; olina has had a prominent part in 1 the piloting of interstate commerce legislation at each of the last two crises in that field of congressional responsibility. In connection with the fact that by the sudden death of Senator Newands, of Nevada, a few weeks ago, Senator E. D. Smith became chairnan of the interstate commerce com mitte of the Senate, in which caV?a will Uotra /?V?orrvfl a qH UO.K, I KjJ I1C ?TiU |I?TV VUOAgv V* w*iv **? ministration's railroad operation bill in the Senate, it is recalled that in 1906, the last great period in railway legislation, when President Roosevelt recommended revision of ;he Commerce Act to give the Iu;ersta:e Commerce Commission pow;r to prescribe maximum rates. 1 _ _ jl senator miman was Dy a strange turn of fate put in charge of the administration bill. Mr. Tillman made a national repitation by his success in handling this measure on the floor. The coun;ry. realized that he possessed not nerely the ability of agitation, but that he knew how to carry through ;he things he advocated if the pariamentary opportunity were placed vithin his reach. The junior Sena;or now has a similar opportunity >f the first class, nationally. It is lot generally realized that he has j seen presidng over the meetings of j the Senate interstate commerce comi Tiittee for five years in the absence i jf the late Chaiirman Newlands. This' experience has made him very fa- j miliar with the work of the com-( nittee and its direction. Harking Back to 1906. But to return to 1906.

Senator Tillman was the first member of the minority five, the next four being McLau-j rin, of Mississippi; Carmack, of Tennessee; Foster, of Louisiana, and Newlands, of Nevada.
