thus making the stats a |?*rtg to
his action may Its shown from the
fact that the sword to he piklknt
ed to Major Jenkins was bought |
ky the subscriptions of not more
than fifteen or twentj men. Keen
if these contributors had "te

people af the Itoti. It is o
probable that "7 af the sabicribers

A committee was appointed,
one man from each place Trade*ville

when the necessary amount l*

"Good for Micah Jenkins!" wilt
como spwntanewnelv from tko lips
of Booth Car?lini*ns on reading
this ante. For the notion takon '
is that of a soldior and a. g>ntloaoan.
Wo do not know what tho re~
lations bstwooa "Jin" Tillman
and Major Jenkins hare boon,
but wo do know that tkoso formerly
existing between tka braro
South Carolinian and tho colonel
i>f tka Dnunk " "
. u w a.?^u MIUQI , DUW X rtlldent
of the United States, were
close and cordial. ftiicak Jenkins
was on* of the captains of
Reosevelt's command who ckargad
with Lim up San Juan hill, aad
tha handsomest praisa ba ra- j
reived was from tha nan who ia
ow Praaidaat. Indaad, it was
tkreugk Thaodora Koesevelt's
public testimony to hit gallantry
aad chivalric ckaractar that tka
paopla of this Stata wara hast
apprisad af tha fact that tka soa
af a South Caraliaa karo of tka
Civil war had proTad himaalf a
hara in tha Spanish war. A senteaca
from Roosevelt's tributa to .
J an kins?which tributa was ra- ,
produced in Tha Stata shortly 1
aftar its puhlicatiea over three j.
years ago?is inscribed an tha
sword which was to have beau
predated to tha lattar by tha
hand of tha former; and wa have
no daubt that it was this high <
praisa that first suggested te 1
"Jin" Tillman, wha seams ta 1
like collecting subscriptions, the <
thought of raising a 'und to pro- 1
ride a testimonial in hanoi* of tha
BeHth Carelinian's gallantry. j(
It will thus ba saaa that it was 1
peculiarly fitting that the sword '
?f honor should be bestowed upon '
Mkjer Jenkias througk bis com- 1
rada aad friend,Tkeodere lieose- 1
yell; and that both in a public '
tease nathing could have bean in
worse tssta than "Jim" Tillman's '
demand that Roasevalt withdraw
lis acceptance - of tha pleasant
.ask of making the presentation. '
>? flagrant was tha insult to the
man whose words furnished the '
mative for the gift that it could
hut prove an effreat as well to
lim for whom the irifi woe
ended. We have not doubted 1
thai Major Jenkins would act ]
5ttinj)y in the nutter, and that i
le did a* promptly is shown by i i
lis letter to The State. His j
inclination ef the a word, now |
that aa iatended compliment to j

well Incomes a man whe though I
