THE LEDGER. tharlow S. Carter, FDITOK AND MANAGER. RATCRDAY, MARCH 8, 1902. Senator Tillman says that there is intense feeling in South Carolina over recent events in connec tion with himself and the president. This is but another instance f the senators "blowing off" his mouth when there is no reason for it. It is utterly false that there is any teeling in Sonth Carolina over the White House dinner episode. The people of the stnle do not are a khhm of thoir finrrsrs; !*hmit the whole business.?Columbia Record. We do not believo that the col lisinn in Ihe senate chamber was ho damaging us other eonduct before and since, chiefly on the part of Senator Tillman. Mr. McLanrin is not so resentful and vindictive, and if he were in perfect accord with his colleague on all political questions and pressed his views with all the, power he omu command, he would not pro. voko hostility as the senior senator does. His shortcomings are mich that he will have to answer for them to his own people and the consequences will be upon his own head This is not the case with Senator Tillman. In his opposition to the dominant party he is unnecessarily and foolishly hitter, fie exhausts the vocabulary of vituperation for wrerds to exasperate those who have entire oootrol of legislation and patronage. Such a course convinces nobody and conciliate* nobodj'w good will. If thn evil offeets ?f his course were visited upon his own bead, we could view his folly with composure, hut it is the state . that sutlers injury, beyond calculation, while he continues to gratify his vanity and bad temper, and draw his salary. There is one feature of Senator Tillman's attitude toward other nectrons that is exceedingly provoking to us at present, and that is the effect on the Charleston exposition. His conduct does a great deal to excite animosity against this section and the effect ?b to drive peop'e away, while wc arc inv*iti11them to visit us. see our exposition, become acquainted with our resources, and come no der the intluence of our hospital* If Mr. Tillman liud been atationed on Mason aud Dixon'f Une to boat back the stream ? visitors from the north, he ould not have accomplished that purpose more effectually than ho Ib doing To any one who refects hut a moment there can be o question that we are being represeniod to the country at large in a false light. ?Chester Lantern.

At a maating of the Progressive Umati af Naw Orlaaas a law nights ago, Jean H. Kirby, of Houston, delivered an address ou the eonasercial akvancement of theSoatb, in which he said among other things that be is glad that ' the Southern people have come to the belief that there is nothing so honorable us work; there is greater distinction in being a laborer than a gentloman." He further said: We have determined to make the South the seat of bus*' industry, as well as the homo of the ' most lovable hospitality that exists in the world. Wo are not only going ta be planters and merchants, but we are going to be makers of the products that coma? from our natural resources. Wei are not only going to grow cotton' and cane and rice and timber, but ' ' I we are going to get the great advance in value which comes! through transforming these preducts of the soil into every conceivable foi m devised for the use f mankind. This is exactly what the South has determined to do and is proceeding to do. All ever this section young men, gentlemen and the sons of gentlemen, tire going into the factories and machine shops and are fitting themselves for the opisprtumties before them in turning the South's raw material into the manufactured product. There is no better class of workmen in the world than this gentleman laborer of the South and for the application of intelligent effort no country can produce his equal. It is this element of 1 Southern brain unci manhood that is responsible for the prosperous career upon which the South has ' recently entered and for ?a development of her industaiul re sources that Iihs challenged tho attention of the world, although it has hardly begun.

Sho is working not only to keep at home the millions of money that ! the industries yield, but to gather tbe surplus funds of other sections ' into her treasury to help in the development of her resources through investment and re-invest. 1 meat there." And it adds: "Keep 1 your eye on Dixie! And what a pity it is that we can't all live to witness tho mighty civilization that will confront onr sons and grandsons there!"
