"People lore liquor. If they are i stopped from buying it legally, | hey will lie to get it."?Senator rill man. "If you forbid people to drink ; hoy will drink anyhow."?Ibid. "The army of ministers want- | ng prohibition marches side by | ide with the high license men." -Ibid. Firstly. Some of the "people ire supposed to be South Carolinans and supporters of Senator fill man. They "love liquor''and | 'will lie to get it." That sort of iiti/.enship by every token is fatal o good government and is of a I >icce with that which is a menace o Cathay today. Men of that Ik are essentially anarchists and lobody knows that better than 'honest Ben." People who "love lquor and will lie to get it" are io far gono from original rigbte* aisneas that they must needs be lealt with after the manner of unfaithful parents indulging their vcuk atul wiltul children. That 8 the senator's philosophy and a considerable number of South Jarolina's citizens are thus stignatized by the man they have ion o red with their franchises, ^et none, however, resent the >dious imputation, but ask the piileless question: If \lr. Tillman lad a son who loved liquor and vould lie to get, would he feel it lis moral duty as a parent to irovide it for him ? Would he lot rather with the calm courage >f his convictions attempt to rescue he weakened will hy removal of he temptation and hy frithful ivnrnico n^ mrv??o 1 * % 4 l AVI VIov XJM. ai\/i ui lOQtiaillt tUU|JI?U vith a cultivation of tbe desire or something better ? As a political father his confidng children have asked of him >read and he has given thetn, not 'a stone" merely mocking their redulity, nor yet "a serpent" lisguised as fish and producing icrhaps only a disgusting nausea, ?ut he has given them "a scoriion," whoso virus is "legally" aocculatmg the fair flower of Carolina's manhood to their eter* al destruction. Yes, he is "the athor of it." It is, forsooth, his u; 1,1 <. 11 /..*i n > ~ u iu. Aiiiuui i rfw u|)iiu:, } not echoed in the courts of eaven, on this account. Secondly. It is confessedly a reakness of mortals to sometimes e contrary and do the very thing hey are entreated not to do. This act also the senator knows and as played upon it to his profit as politician, and none more skill ally as the record of the hustings ince his day dawned abundantly hows. But is it noble, is it just o traffic in the weaknesses of nen I Nay, is it right to encourge and not rather condemn their nfirmitiaw I A frraatflr thnn Till nan has taught that thero should >e no provision made "for the lesh to fulfill its lusts." Is Til I nan anti-christian f lie is on ecordas averring that "he would >e a fool who should deny the >eneficient influence of the chrisian eligion." Let us hope that he ias not utterly fallen from grace. ) that this mighty man of valor vould train with those who be- | iere, and believing it, labor that he morally weak may be protected ind helped to become strong. Of i truly great reformer it has been vritten: i4He looked at the man hrough the frieze*jacket or careill thrift and the ?lo(ped and vindowed raggednean' of abject >overty; yea, he looked at him in he haunts of vice and the prison louse of the criminal, and saw vritten upon him even there, in ndubitable presence, the image, bough sorely mutilated, of God, just as beneath the jewelled cap of maintenaace and the purple of nobility he brw no inoro.'' Thirdly. Politics does indeed , ] make strange bedfellows, as the saw says. Minister's marching! with hiyh license men ! Has hie| i acute sense < f perception for the < once suffered ahorration ? Or does Mr. Tillman mean to purposely criminate the cloth.by say ing, as ho (toes, that they have gone oyer to the side of tho whin- i key nion t Does lift not know instead that for what it may serve | their political purpose tho high license men have allied themselves ^ with the advocates of prohibition? . He might have said with honor L and truth: "Iligh license men ^ t march side by side with the army ^ of ministers wanting prohibition." Numbers of Republicans will 1 f doubtless vote with tho Demo- ^ crats this year not because they aro at heart Democrats. If he 4 intends his words to convey their . legitimate and accurate interpre- ^ tation, the senator's utterance can r but be characterized as cowardly ^ in the estimation of a discerning ^ public. The writer believes bet ter or the senator, and expects an . explenation that will explain and L A I- 1 ? maae ine amend* nonorable. i Otherwise he forfeits his titlo to j fairness. Finally. The issue stands thus: . Shall God's "thou shalt not put ( thy bottle to thy neighbor's j mouth" be disregarded, or shall ^ the individual sovereigns of South ( Carolina vote so as to buttress and ^ perpetuate the "throne of iniquity ^ forming mischief by law i The , State has just as much moral right j to licenso a thief or murderer in , their nefarious business in order j to increase the common school . I fund an by the present system j operated. It is polluting to the fountain and must effectually contaminate the whole system of . State education. I cannot as a . v S christian parent accept such aid . at the hands of my State for the , intellectual and moral training and culture of my children. Such ill gotten gain can but curse and nerer bless. \V A Betts, Kershaw, S C, July 21, 1900. j - . -- - t State Campaign Schedule.

J'jlonol Hoyt Brings up the Keo ord of 1890 and Quotes the j Senator's Own Language Against Hun. Special to Greenville News. Winnsboro, July 27.?Colonel rtoyt in his speech today said : 4'Senator Tillman has entered his campaign to discuss the liquor ssue, and while 1 did not question lis right to do so, yet there is no ipparent need of his coming to the escue of the candidates who are idvocating the dispensary system, is ho has not added anything to ho discussion not already present^ id. Has any one uttered the cry Help me Cassius, or 1 sink,' or s it merely a propensity to takes land because the tight is raging? L\vo lawyers have been engaged !rom the outset in presenting the ?enefits and advantages of the dis? lensary system and also in decide ng the cause of prohibition. Ate hoy not equal to the occasion t \re the signs of the times pointng to the dissolution of the great lioral institution I Has auy one lecome alarmed for the safety of ,he dispensary or concluded that t is necessary for its reputed faher to rush into the imminent ieadly breach and rescue his child !rom destruction t Ten years ago he senator was clamoring against iVade Hampton's taking any part n the memorable campaign of 00 and said vehemently thut the Democrats of South Carolina were laving a family quarrel which tlampton ought not to interfere vith. Is uot the condition today dmost identical i Hampton was ,ho recognized leader of the Do. uocracy at that time, and Tillman a the recognized leader today.? rrue, Hampton was not then a candidate for re election, but it *as only a short time until he was lefeated and his defeat waa com lassed because he did interfere in he family quarrel. Such a result :annot befall Senator Tillman, as hero is no chance for opposition ;o him this campaign, and there is 10 dosire to block his way to reflection on tho part of any considerable element in tho party. He la 'rcely accorded tho right of way men of ?very phase of Domoc*acy, and hence his course in this campaign does not comport with ;he generous treatment ho has received at tho hand of his fellowDemociats. It is a mistake on his ...t 4 * I ? mit iu nut uuut? txi y w 1110 rt'quu o. nent laid down by him for the proper conduct of a United States ienator under similar circumstances, and unless he has the purpose n view to declare a preference imong the dispensary candidates for governor, which he disclaims in emphatic terms, there is no reasonable excuse for his mterfersnce in a family quarrel He has already expressed his views in regard to the liquor issue and all the people of the State knows just where he'stands. He cannot add invthim? to their concention of his position in regard to thedispensasary system. His talents ought to he in requisition where he might ongage in the discussion of nation.* at issues before the people of pivotal States, where he could render valuable service in tke open held to the cause of Democracy and aid in the election of Bryan and Stereason, our national standard bearers. Tillman's rescuing band seems to indicate he does not think the three dispensary candidates who are out are competent to defend the dispensary, or why does he come in ? He bad no objection to Tillman's taking a hand, m it could not hurt him. 1 -g J1 | King Humbert' Assassinated. Shot Through tbo Heart ut Monza Last Sunday Night.
