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

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

If Mr. Tillman liud been
atationed on Mason aud Dixon'f

? 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

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. Expressing
its wodder as to how the South
has grown. The Now York
Commercicl says that she "is a

home the millions of money that
! the industries yield, but to gather
tbe surplus funds of other sections

development of her resources
through investment and re-invest.

pity it is that we can't all live to
witness tho mighty civilization
that will confront onr sons and
grandsons there!" Ave. the
Sonth of our grandsons ! What

there among us that, leaving out
the hopeless wish of living to see
it, does not all the same take a
