Edeefield Advertiser THOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITO H WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23, 1895. TILL3IA? AND SHEPPARD. Their Debate of the Homestead Exemption. Senator Tillman, who. had an nounced hiB intention of trving to make tho homestead law bomb and lawyer proof, took up the argu ment. He started out by saying that this was a matter of such overpowering importance and deals so directly with the 4housands and tens of thousands c i the people of the State that ho would ask the indulgence of the Convention while he wrnt over the matter at some length. The theory of the homestead is this, that it is states manship and in the best interest of the State to protect tho people against themselves and to.provide the families of the State with homes for all time, as well as to give the head of the family suffi cient land on which to make his living, lt is for the protection of the mothers a I children of th State against e worthless an ' in different and drunken husbands that such a provisiou ought to be sustained.. He then went on to say, with all the vehemence that he has, that the report of the com mittee was nothing more than a delusion ^nd a sham ; that there was nothing in it, aud that it did not give the protection that it pre tended to give to the wive3 and children of the State, r'he pre tence is made in tliis report that you have the homestead preserved, but you have not got it. Senator Tillman then went on to give a brief review of the home stead legislation. He read the provision that was adopted in the Constitution of 1868. In 1880, for some reason that he did not un derstand and never did expect to understand, the proviso, which was made a part of this report was ^adopted and made a part of the ccustiiUt'onal proviso as to the homestead. He went on to say that he was no lawyer, but that he had some common sense, and it looked to him that tho decision of the Supreme Com - by which the creditor was allowed to come in and claim tho homestead under mortgage was a shame and a dis grace. The Constitution as originally written and amended never provi ded for such a thing, and on the other hand distinctly prohibited it. i ' he understood tho language. He iosisted that such a thing was distiuct'y prohibited by the Con Btituiion and he saw no warrant for the r?cognition of a mortgage against the homestead. He vent on to say that the Supreme Court found a hole through which to aneak, and now that the Supreme i . Court has done this wrong, he saw -UU pulHflPi? gAuusu roi pWp^nf* ting thc wrong that had been done, j It was never intended that such should be the case. It was never intended that a man could throw away all that he had made and not first provide for the shelter of his wife and children. He said that if the Court was asked to come in and say that the wife and children demanded the protection of the Court against'the maj and his unfitness to take care of the family he saw no reason why thore should be any discrimination. He said that hewo^.ld battle to guar antee a home t overy head o a family, and it i .de no difference to him whether the head of the family had $100,000 or only $5C0 in the world, the families demand ed and were entitled to the same protection and ho would battle for it. If any distinction of this kind was shown it would not be by his vote, he asserted. They say that you will destroy the basis of credit. Granted. If it is right to have a homes.ead let us have one that amouinsto some thing. There is no use to have a homestead that is nothing more than a sham. They say that if you deprive the poore: c asses of this basis of credit that they will starve. Before the war our people were self-supporting and a great many of them now are. The peo ple before tho war did not have the seductions and enticements of the credit system. They made their own food stuff, they spun their own clothes, and they made everything at home and lived com fortably. The people of this State will not starve if they are depriv ed of their credit. If it is best to drive some people out of the credit system to have a good homestead law then let us do it. Tho thrifty man does not need credit. He manages to get along without it. It is only the shiftless and indif ferent. He thought that if thore was less borrowing that the rate of interest for those who wore bor rowers would be less. He went on to say thst he did not know who were the Judges on the Bench when the homestead law was by judicial legislation made a nullity, and if they were not corrupted by the banking in stitutions or put into the trouble by the lawyers then they were guilty of a lack of statesmanship and far-sightedness that should damn them forever. He went on to talk of thc effects of this deci sion, and remarked that under the seductions of easy credit it did seem as if the policy was to slope tho road of credit down to boll. Lots of people, he said, had met their ruin b}' the credit system. The question to his mind was wr other the people should be pro tected in reality, or whether then' shoj'd be a mere pretence in the effort of protecting them. He said that a wise 'statesman had said th a- t' o best way 'o make a good ci' ?n was to gi . him a piece of Ja .d and a hom--, and this was the policy he advoca- ! ted. He wanted to know whether j it was intended because a min had been improvident or u n fort l? ate to turn him and his family out in the big road and make trampe of them, especially after the State has been educating her people on this line. Such a policy as was proposed, bc feared, would lead to a . rse land ownership on the part of foreign corporations than ever. One gentleman has said that there was an inequality in al lowing $1,000 real estate and $500 in personal properly. He argued 'hat those wno had $1,000 in per sonal property were as rare as while COM s, a jd that altogether there were not a thousand in this class ia the State. He said that all he wanted was for those who were fortunate enough to have homes to protect them and pro vide a shelter for their wives and children. SHEPPARD DEFENDS THE COURT. Mr. Sheppard, of Edgefield, said that he had never known the mind ofhis friend from Edgefield to be so radically wrong as on this matter. He would make no reference to the reflection ou the Court. That opin ion was rendered by McGowan, Simpson, and Mciver, and those three distinguished Judges, patri otic citizens aud good men whe decided that a mortgage should prevail over a homestead rendered that decision on the law. Let him read En mo vs. the Building and Loan Association and he will be surprised and astounded at the facts. That judgment will con vince your minds r.nd will satisfy you that the Court has not slunk through a hole or deprived the people of any rights. He said these Judges had sprung from and represented the people who had chosen and trusted them, and had consistently been faithful to their trust. No man could truthfully accuse them of being indifferent to the . rights and interests of the people or of betraying them. In 186S the Constitution providing for a home stead was adopted. A number of troubles arose. In 1880 to ?emo dy the defects and to make the law sound the provision was adopt ed that appears in this section. ( Under that provision hundreds ol decisions have been filed, and tho law is well and thoroughly known. Tho troubles that now exist are now sought to be remedied. Only two changes in the present law arc proposed. Ono is: The Supreme Court has held that whore then is a judgment and a mortgage, and where there is a marshalling of as sets, the judgment creditor basa right to make ?he mortgage cr?di tor satisfied out of the homestead exemption and lbs mortgage credi tor gets the balance, and tho credi tor get* nothing ? sought lo rem edy that. I sought to provide thal the mortgage creditor should pot bo satisfied before the party gels his homestead. Senator Tillman interrupted Mr. Sheppard with questions, and Mr. , Sheppard retorted by saying that Tillman was being struck on weak , points his invarable habit was to . seek to divert attention by asking , questions and interruptions. He was glad io see this indication of conscious weakness ou this occa sion. The question is with refer- j euee to another chango. That af ter the homestead is set aside he shall not be permitted to sell it except on the order of tho Court. ] Tho committee seeks to reverse i these two conditions. He would < vote for Mr. Howell's amendment. < If you desire to make tramps or tenants or drive the people to the i actory let the provision, as report- i ed, stand. When you (kaw these j lines you put the head cf the fara- J ily lhere to perish, or work for 1 wages or go to tho factory. If he i believed t?s the gentlemen from Newberry that tho head of the fam- i ily should be a minor he would t rather have his tongue cleave to t the roof of his month than vote for ?neb proposition. If you do it there ^ will be a ..ail coming from the < home of every poor man in the | State. t Senator Tillman: "Had you i rather have these restrictions or i be made a tramp and take away ? your wife and children's shelter?" ; Mr. Sheppard : "People aro more ? often driven to claim the home- t stead from misfortune than from c indolence and carelessness." 1 Mr. Sligh asked what about the j sale of property of a man to his ( wife to shirk debt, was not that humiliating? Mr. Sheppard : "That is a spe- t cies of rascality I hope the Con- t vention would avoid." He knew ? tuen to-day, especially ono man, i who was honest and thrifty, lie t broke and told his creditors he c could pa)* 25 cents on tho dollar or take all ho had and divido it. i Several years ago he went to him i and was told to seud the romain- t in g 75 cents to every man from whom he had a receipt in full on ' tho 25 cent settlement. He had | risen from tho ashes by the credit | he had secured and paid the 75 cents. Three-fourths of the banks ; to-day will not take mortgages. He 1 assured the Convention that he was i undertaking to do what ho bel ie v- . jd to be for the best interest of the people of tho Stale. Ile urged that it was ridiculous to place the small property owners in the condition 1 if minor?. This law, he urged, would be :i feast for the lawyers, it would bo better to strike out the ? whole section than adopt this sec tion as it stands. Ho knew the . condition of the people better lhan very many of the delegates. There ? would bc no inducement togo boni'' to perish ; lhere was no good of a home with no means of making 1 a living. , Mr. Sheppard was thoroughly up on tho question and cut a wide swath in the arguments of the : double ironclad homestead advo- ' c^tes. Ho knew what be was talk er, about and put it forcibly and clearly. Ladies, call and see the new milli nery af the Misses Aycock. Irby on Suffrage. Thc P::tri..i, Ji;n Parks,'* Paper. We have carefully read Sena tor Irby's interview on the suffrage plan proposed by Sem tor Tillman, for the Committee on suffrage, and wo have tried to pass judg ment upon it impartially. Personally, we do not know the Senator, and there are several things in his record as a man, that do not' impress ns favorably ; yat we must admit that-, so far as we know, his political record is straight, and always for the best int?r?ts of tho masses. But here comes in thc nice point. Whether Irby's concern for tho poor illiterate white man, or for his own seat in tho U.S. Senate, prompts this outburst of loving solicitude for the poor man-that is thc question. It is generally believed and generally conceded that Governor Evans has his eye on Senator Ir by's seat in the U. S. Senate. Ir by knows this. Ile knows, furth ermore, 1hat he can gain nothing by silence and delay. It is everywhere conceded that Irby is the best political general in South Carolina politics. He examines his grounds carefully and locates all the ''boogers" be fore he enters the woods. Ile is a master of both offensive and de fensive warfare. He is keen, and quick and resourceful. If an op ponent abandons a good position, Irby quickly captures it-and he holds it. I fan enemy lays down a good weapon, Irby quickly pick it up-md he uses it. Very often on the other fellow. He examines not only h is grounds and his forces and Iiis weapons, but he even scrutinizes the ammu nition he is to un*. More than this, he masters his forc-'s, thus keeping many a man lighting under him and in his ranks, who Joes not admiro him as a man but they admire his g neralship and follow him accordingly. Irby knows that tho groat masses were with him in his opposition io the "equal division, reconciln tion*' prh?ni"\ H? i.- using M:P club that Senator Tillman and Governor Evans put into his hands-and he is using it with tolling effect. WP predicted that the "recon ciliation pills"' would prove to be loaded with the? wrong stuff-that somebody would get very sick of them. So i hoy have. If a com plo! 0 diagnosis cf a case is all that is necessary, Irby's effort on tho suffrage plan is what might proj erly be called a "howl ing success." Ho holds it up be. fore the poor, ijlitetato vo'ers and make? it lenk mighty ugly. Ee picked the plan to pieces and al most annihilated it-in theory. And right here he committed a big error, which, in our opinion, he couldn't help-it was inevita ble. Aftoi making a complote diagnosis of the case and telling the patient, what an awful condi de?iberately wai Iced" off "without ' prescribing a remedy. In our opinion ho had no remedy. If he had, or if he has now, let it be trotted out. lu our opinion, tho Tillman plan is about tho liest wc can get that will not bump up against the U. S. Cons 'tution. True it loaves groat power in tho bauds of tho dominant party, in the registrars, and in tho manag ers of the election. That is the ;ase to day under the old law. True, it presupposes discrimi nation and pa cs the way for marp practice. Such was the pur Dose and intent of the eight hos aw and the present registration rw. Who doubts it? Who do nee it? And yat, this discrimination has (' mt boon usotl against white men hough divided into most hostile ( md determined fact ons. We ha *e soon occisi?n to differ , vith Senator Tillman and to cnti :ise him, but wc have never bo ieved that ho would advocate j i ny thing to the hurt of the mon vho made him, politically speak- J ng, and whoso votes he will need j igain. Tho clause permitting all Uiterates to register, up to Jami- 1 try 1898, who can "understand ] ind explain it [tho cons ?tution, J >r any part of it] when road to ?im" is evidently a gap, made 1 mrposely, and wide enough for \ ivery poor illiterate man to enter. 1 Some fear that the Antis may ^ igain got in power and will use 1 ,he law against us. Suppose they ( 10 got 111 power. They were in 1 jower nol many years ago; and ( lover did a "faction show moro eckless disregard for the wishes ?f thc people than they did. But when they got too bad, the nasses rose up and put them out 11 spite of their control of oleo ;ious. If Reformers should over become 00 bad, too big, or loo corrupt to irotoct the interests of the people, )ut them out. If any faction becomes too arro ;ant and corrupt, tho people will cick it out-and they ought to do 1. Sheriffs Sale. STATE OK SOUTH CAROLINA. COUNTY OP EDGEFIELD. Eloopes and Townsend-against-J. L.
