SENATOR TILLMAN AT CLEMSON.
Mokes Speech to Gradu?tes of the in
stitution-Affecting Scone.
The graduating exorcises ot Clom
Bon College, which took place Tues
day of last week, were of unusual in
terest. Tho events wore the splendid
address to the graduating class hy
Dr. James K. Patterson, of tho Uni
versity of Kentucky; the powerful
speech of Allin Johnstone to the grad
uates, tho eloquent short speech of
W. ?. Evans In presenting the trus
tees' medal for oratory to M. W. Call,
of Marlon; tile remarkable ovation
given Senator Tillman when he pre
sented tho D. K. Norris modal, given
to tho best all-round man In the grad
uating class to A. M. Salley, of Or
angeburg.
The exorcises wore most gracefully
presided over President Riggs,
who seems to be the right man in the
right place-at the head of Clemson.
The graduating class this year con
sisted of eighty-seven young mon,
who go out into tho world well equip
ped for tho battle of lifo. The col
lege has closed the best year, in many
respects, in its history.
Senator B. R. Tillman was present
and made a spoech to tho graduating
class.
One of the most notable Incidents
of tho day was the affecting scene
when Senator Tillman stood walting
for the applause to subside, covering
his face 'with his hands to hide the
tears, and in a voice choking with
! emotion began a characteristic
speech, in which he told ot hoing for
bidden by his physician to make an
address. He reviewed lils career
briefly, telling of tho vision he had
in 1885 when he offered resolutions
nt-tho Grange mooting In Bennetts
ville, which were defeated, calling
fo. a dopartinent of agriculture at
the South Carolina University, and of
his subsequent letters advocating the
establishment of a separate agricul
tural college. Ile said few men lived
to realizo their dreams, but lie' had
lived to see moro at Clemson and
Winthrop than ho had ever dreamed.
There wore occasional Hashes of the
old-time fire and force in tho Sena
tor's address, and the audience list
ened in rapt attention. Never has
such an ovation been given a man at
Clemson as greeted the Senator when
hi-, seemingly unwillingly, sat down.
He stood tho fatigue of speaking
very well, and seemed supremely
happy. Senator Tillman spoke as
follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen; My phy
sician has forbidden me to make a
speech, hut I cannot, on this occa
sion, refrain from expressing to you
my great pleasure at being here, and,
above all, to return to you thanks
for the heartiness of your welcome.
1 shall not take long, but there are
some things, I think, ought to be
said, and If my strongth holds out
1 will attempt to say them. Our
honorable president of the board of
trustees has spoken of Mr. Clemson's
dream and of his vision years ago. I
also had a dream and a vision, and
will tell you of lt. In 1885, twenty
six years ago the 5th day of next Au
gust, I attended the joint meeting of
the State Grange and State Agricul
tural Society at Bennettsvllle, In
Marlboro county. I offered a serios
of resolutions there, which were not
adopted by tho meeting, but the
speech I made on tb ls occasion met
with such a spontaneous outburst of
approval from tho assembled farmers
of the State, that I felt sufllclently
encouraged to march forward along
the lino I had marked out.
"That fall I wrote a series of let
ters for the News and Courier, which
was then the leading paper of the
State and reached almost every fartn
hou.^e. In these articles I advocated
a different education from that which
we had in the State. I urged tho
establishment of a separate college,
although the Bennettsvllle resolu
tion had only demanded that the
Legisjature establish a department
in the University of South Carolina
Which would he devoted to agricul
ture and mechanical arts, and to
which women would he admitted. 1
have seen the time when I would en
joy very much talking to you. I
have addressed thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of my fellow-cltl
zen.s in th. and other States, and
enjoyed the stimulus of a large audi
ence, hut my mind will not respond
to my will as it once did.
"I will go on*and tell you about my
vision. 1 dreamed that there ought,
to be a college for boys and girls
that would equi)) them for tho hattie
of lifo-ft college where tho studies
would be not only Latin and Greek
and the calsslcs, hut such ns would
prepare a man to make his bred and
butter. I had a vision not of this
school, but of something like lt; not
of Winthrop, but something Uko lt.
I did not droam that this school
would become what it Is. I attended
the commencement at Winthrop last
week and saw 700 young women,
your sisters, your sweetheart?. Well,
ls there anything more to say? Thoy
were there tn full force and were the
prettiest things I over saw or evor
expect to see again. It ls not often
thal a man ls allowed to live mid to
see his dreams como true, and to my
fellow members of the board of trus
tees and my co-workers lu the State
is duo my realization of those
dreams.
"Now, young men, I had the good
sense and tho good luck to find a
good woman who was willing to bitch
up with me and who lias trotted
down tho road of life with me ever
since. I consider my marriage tho
greatest piece of luck I ever had. I
want to say to you that if you will
go and do likewise you ought to bo
successful, for there is nothing in tho
world, so inspiring ns tho lovo of a
good, puro woman.
"But I must proceed to do what I
came out hore for, and If Albert Mc
Michael Salley will como up on the
rostrum I will award to him the
medal. Mr. Salley, I wish you would
put lt on and lot us see how hand
some you look. Now turn yourself
around, for there are some girls up
yobder who wish to see you. In pre
senting you this medal I want to
have a few words to say about how
you got it and whence it came.- Since
I have been boro my mind has been
busy thinking about tho mon who
have helped us plan and work for
this college. Three of them aro no
more. I speak of the lifo trustees,
Col. D. K. Norris, Hon. R. E. Bowen
and Capt. John E. Bradley. These
trustees have ceased their labors and
havo crossed that bourne to which
we are all hastening,
"You are not near onough to lt to
realize or consider it as yet, but I
will soon bo there and join these
men. Col. D. K. Norris was a man
who loved the college and worked for
lt day and night. While ho was a
trustee ho helped to plan and build
lt, and ho as much as any other trus
tee did his full duty to bring about
the results which you soo about you.

"And now, young friends, I want
to ask you to take homo to your par

that Clemson College hns made you

you the opportunity to develop your
