The Lexington Dispatch. ' Wednesday, April 2, 1902. Tillman's Tariff Speech. ; i Special to the News and Courier. Washington, March 23 ?South Carolina has an infant industry. Senator TillmaD, when the bill for the repeal of the war revenue taxation was called up in the Senate last Friday, introduced the infant to the Senate as "a poor, measly Southern . tariff baby, with only one protected citizen, so far a South Carolinian.'' j He referred of course, to Dr. Chas. j U. Shepard and his tea farm at 4'Pinehurst," Summerville, S. C. A short time ago Dr. Shepard wrote a letter to Senator Tillman asking his ^ assistance in defeating the repeal of the war tax on foreign teas. It was in this connection that Senator Till- 2 man called the Senate's attention to ( the tea culture experiment in South t Carolina. And while he did not care s to plunge the Senate into a tariff de- e bate just at this time, Senator Till- n man gave notice that he would, at i the earliest opportunity, attempt to a have this tax on tea reinstated. In bis letter to Senator Tillman r Dr. Shepard stated that under the t protection of the ten cent per pound 8 tax on tea and the assistance of Con- a gress in providing funds for experi- o mentation in tea culture, there was strong hope of successfully launching a r.ew industry in the Southern w . - w States. An estate of one thousand j acres is being established gradually and foreign capitalists are seeking to q invest $200,000 in another plantation in that vicinity. Ia addition Dr. Shepard says in his letter that the numerous small1 undertakings j and correspondence with the leading officers of the big trunk line systems j of the South and Southwest both c lead bim to believe that tea culture | ^ will soon be established on a large ^ scale and that parties are now contemplating the purchase of experimental tea estates along these railroads. The repeal of the tax on foreign teas will, in the opinion of Dr. Shep ard, deprive American growers of assistance equivalent to the difference in the cost per pound of tea between the Iccal and Oriental price of labor, and net enly discourage those who have embarked in the industry, but prevent others who are now considering the project from attempting to C follow them. Senator Tillman read to the Senate v Dr. Shepard's letter and an extract c from an official statement of the f Secretary of Agriculture commend- ] ing the industry heartily. Senator t Tillman then went on to make the a poiLw chat the establishment of large g tea farms in the South would offer c employment to many of the thous- t ands of little pickaninnies aloDg the g coast. Dr. Sbepard utilizes this t labor with success on his farm, and c in addition to being taught how to t pluck tea and to perform other work ^ in connection with the product of the t crop. Dr. Shepard has established schools at Pineburst, where these negro children are received and educated. r "Having called ycur attention to ^ the fact,*' said Senator Tillman in -j conclusion, "that we have a little j baby in South Carolina that might, with your assistance and benevolence, j yield seme aid and comfort to those < little colored children in the way of ; calico frocks, handkerchiefs, ribbons ' J! - on a in firviQ ana a miic uenci iuuu; uuu uuio enable capital to go into those lands 1 and, by training the negroes in plant ing tea, have that regioD, which is now selling from only one to five i dollars an acre, blossom like a rose; and notifying yon that whenever the ' opportunity offers, if I am in thi3 ] chamber, I propose to press for a tariff on both tea and coffee; although we have not any coffee plantations down there, we have some in Porto Rice, we are going to have ecme in th& Phihroines and we have got i ? n w . some in Hawaii?but &3 a Democrat, < desirous of having a revenue tariff' i i mainly, with incidental protection. I will let this bill come to a vote and subside for the present.*' It :8 expected that the visit of President Roosevelt and the Cabinet to the Charleston Exposition next month will include a visit lo Pine- 1 hurst, where they will be conducted j i over the tea farm and be enabled to see for themselves what is being done in the wcy of tea culture, as well as in behalf of the negroes. Secretary Wilson entertained the Cabinet some time ago &t one of their meetings with a description of the tea farm at Pinehurst, and he will post the President and other members of the Cabinet in regard to the industry before their arrival at Pinehurat. It is expected that good results will follow the visit of the party to Pinehurst, and this, together with Senator Tillman's efforts in the Senate, may result eventually ;n having the tax on tea restored.

The Farmer's Life. dewberry Observer. Shakespeare says something like his: If to do were as easy as to say rbat ought to be dene, then chapels lad bfen churches and poor men's :ottages rich men's palaces. Aud it is so. It is much easier to ay how a thing ought to be done ban to do it that way. It is easier o tell farmers how to run their farms han it would be to run them if the ;iver of the advice only had the hance to try it. Nevertheless we tewepaper fellers are deeply coninced that the farmers are the bapnest men in the world, and would be he luckiest and the richest, too, if hey would only set about it the right way. Just think of it. Here is a man hat has the soil and the climate suitble for raising every pound of meat nd bread and fruit and vegetables hat he could possibly need?nearly verytbing for the outer and the inter man?a yard full of chickens, >en3 full cf hogs, milk and butter ;alore, mutlon and beef without imit, and? blessing of blessings? taving to work bard only about eight ' TT?1_ _ 1 nontt s in tne year. vvno wouiau l )e a farmer? It is the ideal life. Bat the reality is not so bright as he ideality: though, compared with nost other lines of industry, we beieve a farmer has the easiest and lappiest time. If he is at all sucjessful he has what Robert Burns ?all "the glorious privilege of being ndependent;" and there is nothing nore glorious to a poor human being ban that. He is not rushed to death every lour of the day and does not have to ie awake at night wondering where ie is going to get the money to pay lis rent and buy his provisions and lay bis debts. He has no cempetiors beating down prices until there s hardly a living in any ordinary ine of business, no'matter bow hard me works.
