FUlirt BSPLT TO IBBT. ScorcAmj LtUrv to tk< I\tblic. I bdirre the public U |to?rtll| twin thai I have been waiting oa Capt. Jia? Tillman, who inaounwd his intention *< of IMVfriw *? '? l.'wj'u arUCM, U? (ill ca thai ha, 8enator Irby, U not tb? raai aothor or raapontibla for the a'atemeni la ika "CralJock" artiela, bat that James Tillaaa la, and ha sapporta this assertion hj afidaeite from W. F. Gary, Dr. Samp aaa Papa sad oaa Matthew Tighe, his secretary. , la aider thai tha pabUo m?y catch th? whole natter clearly I will state that last Christnas, while snow-bound hare in Columbia, and afterwards whilst enow-bouad in Laurens, 1 prepared a rough article on tht political sitoetit-n la South Carolina, headed "Tha Reform Movement" and "Some Christ ouu nenecuons or M Uia tteformer. It vu writ ton frvm a patriotic standpoint and wai intended for tho good of the Reform dots meat and to "pour oil "pen the Uoubied ?!iss" vi i no State. It endeavored to criticise all factions fairly and there is unavoidably la such an article some honest and fail criticism of Governor Tillman as a public ofioth While contemplating its publication undei a aom ds plume ou its merits I read it t? Air. John Q. Capers, of the Columbia Journal, whose paper had anoouoced its intention to pursue a non-ptrtisao oourse in nooord with the general spirit of tho arliole, and also to Mr. James II. Tillman, telling the Utter that I intended to bring the article to Washington and submit it to the criticism of hn father, whom I considered a broad guaged statesman, who was, with Geo. Gary, one ol the founders of tbe Reform Movement in South Carolina. Mr. Capers an-1 Capl. Tillman were boiii anxious to publish the article, but 1 withheld it for further consideration, and in accordance with the advice of some of my friends, and in consideration of the fact that it contained some criticism of Governor Tillman, to whose administration I belonged, 1 had almost, if not altogether, abandoned the idea of publishing, but now sinoe it has been brought in question, I will let it g> to the press with the request that although it is eomewhat long every paper in the Slate will publish it, and I do not ouly ask, but I challenge a criticism of it from tbe standpoint of truth, true Democracy and patriotism. Governor Tillman is strong enough nnd brave enough, not only to stand bJt to accept the criticism it contains in proper spirit, for, as Senator Irby once said to him, in one of bis flashes of truth and honesty, "We both v>A. li.o( 17--i ?uvit vu?? *?ncj uu'cr uuuvro us ur iuiis us any lies." Possibly if the article is carefully read, and its advice heeded it may yet represent the good that is to come out of this contro rsy. I had been invited to slay with Capt. Tillman in Washington, but the rush of visitors was so great that 1 remained with the staff, and during my entire stay I did not have re than a five-minute conversation with Mui, nor did I read or exhibit the article to any one iu Washington. Meeting numbers of friends, and seeking no office there, 1 was constantly engaged socially, and had but little to do with politics iu any form. The barge that I had a conversation with Capt. Tillman and offered him an article for publication which he refused, and told him of a * combination which had been agreed upon, offering him the position of Adjutaut General, is as pure and unadulterated a lie as was ever put upon paper, no matter who is the author or instigator of it. Indeed, on "Saturday after the inauguration," when Senator lrby says it took place, I hud left Washington, nnd was speeding my way to South Carolina. The allusiou to the article which I b&'l shown Capt. Tillman before he left the State, at lca?t six weeks before, is all the truth there is to it. 1 have asked the papers to republish that wonderful epiitle to the Georgians, making "new revolutions" of a fcnrAil cutublnaitou to Voverthrow Tillman and lrby," so that they can study and analyze it carefully, and thry will find but a little of Jame9 Tillman in it, just enough to satisfy his vanity, n good deal of ray old friend Maj. Gary, and it is bristling all ovor with lrby, in whose interest was it written, and t\>r what purposes, who inspirod it, who concocted it, or actually wrote it. Did Matthew, Mark, Luke or John nil have a hand in the episth to the Georgians, and send it under James Tillman's nom do plume, Craddock ? Was Jim implicated himself, or, as they Jtavt Avt?.A/tM.li*.A?iW r?r.;?u mnlf A V* " uiacu oubu t'Aii aui uiuui j piuo tu iuuav tuv publio believe, did lie originate and write il himself? . I bavo shown how the talk about "uu article" originated, and 1 will show the public the article, and my explanation of the graud ? combine is simple and easy. lrby heard ol the Farley article. Shell had announced hit iuteuiiou to rotire, which he conld not understand (for there is no retiring in lrby) Farley had called by Senator Butler's ofhoc one day with Col. William II. Perry, tine knowing of Senator Irby's bitter hatred, hat ignored him while in Washington, and Irbj began to ruminate. At last lie began to be liese there was a couibina<ion, and lio con eluded to make tho_charge aud havo it pub lished in Georgia, "where it would altraci just sufKcient attention to be copied anc reaoh the people of this Stale and create dis trust among the Reformers in this Stati against Shell aud Farley, and Talbert, too although in his last article he tries to skill fully lie the Talbert part out. This was tin scheme, and if voting Jim Tid&iuu iia<l any V tbing to do with i', he was the victim o ^ Senator Irby, and now by "mixing error anc truth lrby is playing the part of a delibern1' scoundrel by trying to throw the wbol tMplame" on Capt. Tillman, and making bin soapegoat, thus committing a still greate T aume, that of sacrificing tlio Governor' & JEplicw to ehiold himself from exposure Jr Jrlllood is (and ought to be) thicker thai ^ water," and 1 know that Governor Tillinai Jinows lrby, and bus found out long ago tlia the charge of a combination on tlio part o Shell and myself, with Gen. Sutler or an, one else, is totally untrue. Since it lias beei alluded to he and Mr. Ueorge Tillman botl know that 1 have done more towards heulin, the breach between ihem than any one Indeed, I am totally unlike irby iu this that I have made none but friends for him while Irby has constantly made him cnemie and ti ied to estrange old and well triei friends from bim, as 1 nin prepared tc show But who is trying to siand up for the trutl of the Craddock article or the alleged com binitiou 1 Not Jim Tillman, on whoso nu thority they say it wivs published,and in fac no oue but Irby, "the real author," and lr only says ihat "every one who reads th papers and has watched the turns in politic will see hat there was truth, and lots of ii in what Tillamu slid." What papers? Cor eluding his remarks Irby says: "Why di hot fjen. Farley ask of ine an explanation i 1)0 believes what he pretends to believe c the assumed wrong I did him ?" And answer, Why, John, did you not ask of m arrexplanitiou of Jim Tillman's wonderfi combine, when he Jold you, instead of (at cording to your own acknowledgement encouraging him to put it in the pipers Why djd not my life-lyug friend, May. Gary who came through 0 luinbia, ami got ine t write liirn a strong endorsement and get tb other State offioors to concur with ine ? Wh did he uot give mc a chance to cxplai before it was published?-or after it was pul lished?for 1 have been with him siuce i Augusta and been invited to his hoiut Where wns Sampson Pope, the "aorriful Sampson, that he could not tell me?bulniu: r \WtDDio as your einiin-sai-y Iu ted Governc ^v. |W lniau about it "for fear that the Governc uot s<,u l,,e Sunday edition of th trip^hronicle."

I hope j u will make it convenient to spend i two or t-iree days with us. i "If it is necesstry to convlnoe you about I the "Craddock" artie'e I will seod to Wash ington and get the original manuscript, as i it was Wed at the W. U. T. office. My name i and mm de plume h?Te been used ia ??? nee ion w'th scTiaal bastard productions I without my permission, and only peculiar - circumstances of whioh I shall tell you, pre rented my denouncing them, as we'l as the real anthor. You told others about your i article whioh they divulged and made me the scape goat. However 1 wili tell you all about it when I see you. Yours etc., Jas. H. Tillman 1 wrole to him that I did not care about ' the article as that could speak for itself, 1 though uo one in Washington at that time 1 had ever seen it except himself. On the 12' h of June he writes again, renewing his invitation to visit them on the ' ocoaaion of the inspection, and concludes, as ; shown by his le.tcr before me, "Don't forget your article. Fath'er fays he will take pleasure in comparing notes wi'h you." 1 look the article with ine and read it to 1 "Uncle George," and got his criticism of it, and after James Tillman had told me all 1 about the "Craddook" article and many other things corroborative of his statement, I told him that 1 intended to expose Irby and asked him to state definitely for my protection who the real author was.^s an addition or postscript to his 20th Mny letter, lie then sat down and deliberately added to that letter : "P. S,?It is hardly necessary for me to " add that Irby dictated the article to his secretary." fTL!. !_ A?-_ _1- -1 - -a 1 iL. VI ! . I iIIis is inu wane anu ui* puuiiu knows the re6t. 11 Now I submit the question to the public. Who am I to believe?James Tillman, who 8 tells me all about it and at last "lets the 8 cat out of the bag," or those who conceal 0 this "stab in the back" and ' in the dark" until I forced it out by exposing and do- 0 nouncing Senator Irby for the scountrel I v knew him to be ? Even if we acknowledge r that there was a possibility for James Till- 0 man to have been in it, there issio possibil- 8 ity for Irby to have been out of it. They were alj privy to it, nd no one told me except James Tillman, Hence my letter, and it is my private opinion, publicly expressed, that Irby got "mighty light," as the darkey said when John Brown was hung. Let it be remembered that all of the par- I ties were office-seekers, includiug Jim Tillman (who was applying for a counsulship) and nil seeking Senator Irby's patronage. Let it not be forgotten that contemporaneous J", telegrams were sent to the Reyuter covering ' the same matter, all of which is in perfect . consonance with Irby's well-known method of pulfing himse'f; then put James Till- j" man's statement in the balance with the . actual contents of the "Craddock" article, 8 and the conclusion is inevitable?not only was it born in that den of iniquity front ?, which few men have escaped with clean ^ hands, but that Irby was at the bottom of i'. . Now. Senator John, since you have undertaken to interpret my notion in exposing n you, let me interpret yours. Remember, ?' John, that but for the "Craddock" article, c which you have acknowledged was written r! itntl Mnt t trnuu n*?- e] have cxpossed you, and that you provoked ^ it. In alluding to the Congressional race, ^ have you not expossed your wilcy and artful game? You discovered a mare's nest, and hating Farley and Shell, you put it in ^ the papers to excite suspicion among the Reformers and sent Sampson Pope to the j Governor to exoitc his distrust iu order to _ kill tliera off. I& not that plain, Johnnie ? ' Now. Senator John, let me give you some n 1 good advice before you get out of the papers, f ' for 1 see, JoIju, tnai you aro exceemngiy .. ' nnxious to get out of the papers. It's a bad ! place for you, as there is no telling what r ' may come out, and these little love letters ' L of miue aro not such pleasant reading as the Register's pretty personals, "Craddock's" dictated and punctuated praises, or Larry 5 Gantt's powerful pull's. I told you a long time ago?-kindly?John, that you couldn't P ^ sustain yourself in the United States Senato, >' 1 and advised you not to try it. Now you seo c the result. I told you also, when you asked 5 my advice, to resign the chairmanship of ? ' the executive committee and keep out of i< ' State squabbles, beoause you had a bigger i< ' job than you could properly attend to, at 1 Washington. I told or wrote Oovern->r Till- e ' mutt that you were not the man for the ' place, about the same time, and you know u " yourself that wbilo I was williug to see Geo. h L Hampton retain bis scat for the harmony of n ' the Democratic party, still I urged that n " some man of mcvo strength, character and b 5 dignity thau yourself be elected. Uncle s ? George, Judge Wallace, Judge Pope, aod at n * last, when I saw that there was real danger, H s i urgod Governor Ttiimaa himself to go. I * You see I was right, John, for you have p t been making a great fool of yourself, aod ? 1 you have done us no good. You have tried " e bullying and bragging and begging around * e Washington until you have played out and 3 cannot now aDDoiut a dotr oelter. while I H r hear they are all laughing at you, from the 9 President down. Take my advice, John. ' Ucsigu the chairmanship and let us alone a down here, for you caunot run the State and 1 national government both at the aame time. I tjuit running down here, bothering other ^ people and trying to pass foolish wild cat Y fchemes through the legislature. CJait 1 II "rushin around" and scheming and wire o ^ pulling and making all sons of promises that 1 8 you cannot fulfill. Already you are f ' known annng the applicants as romising" (but not performing) John. Oo back to '? your seat, and try io attend to your public ( 9 business and 1 really believe that if they f ' will let you s;ay for a half century you r might make a Senator. I know that you ( 'l "feel like a fool at a frolic" in the Senaie, ? hut I can't help Uiat now, and can only ad- ' '* vi e you to be nndest and keep quiet so t 1 that yuit wont expose your ignorance. e Another thing, John. Vour game at play- 1 c ing the bully has been run in the ground, i 3 You can't bully every body, for now and then, c '? John, you have run up against a game man, f i* and you have to wi t, John, and people fjnd 1 d out that at heart yon are 'a ciiwqrd. ' I leqrn ? f 1 oliii, that you attacked Capt, Shell at John 1 ?f Shaw's private residence on account of icy s J article, when you knew lie was unarmed, c and you drew your bowie knife. Now, ? d John, that was uogentlemanly and cowardly. > ' Why did you not cotne after me, for I wrote I ) every word of the article myself and signed ' ? uiy name instead of "Craddouk." By the r, way, John, you have hinted that you wantt> ed to settle these matters "out of the e papers." I know that you are not hunting y any srj.iare, fair fight, but if you can't stand p n these affectionate missives, or pleasant pas> (jninades, of mine, and cooclmfe to risk it, n don't try t > drag in ?Siund? or rc'atives to 8- do your fighting, as you have an old and important habit of domg, but come by yourit self, Johnny, for you know you can get fair t play nnd always find "where I arn at.*' >r You are getting into serious trouble, John, u and the ouly way to get out, is to keep ii quiet, and quit gelling other pooplo to do J, your dirty work.

Gentlemen, that waa not fair, nor right, this was a personal natter, and no Retain or Alliance matters ware involved. I vas reared in Laurens oounly, and am wall mown there, and no resolution by all tha kllianoes of tha State oan rive me a bad character or John Irby a good one. I made rou a good aoldier in war limee, and, though i boy, fought my way up from tha ranks. I itood by you, and was rent from here to jail 'cr you in Radical and IIlux times. I 'ought for yon and wrote for you in 1876. Long before you were aroused to a knowedge and appreciation of your own wrongs, md long before Ben Tillman's voloe was teard in the land, 1 had been working and vriiiog for "Area silver and ftnanoial relief," m l nearly every plank in the reform plat'ortn. Many of you know it, and besides I vill prove it, by the record. I belong to the Reform Movement and not o any individual, and I am in sympathy rith all the essential demands of the Alliance, and shall advocate work and vote for he principles that they now represent, as ong as they keop withinilhe Democratic arty. My position is the result of my reord, which is well known and consistent, nd is not due to political trimmings or -ciat tail swinging." Since arriving at nan hood, I have done the best I could for be State, for you, and the Reform Movement. 1 have always expressed myself fearlessly nil independently, and shall continue to do o, regardless of everything except my sense f right and my duty to the StateThe fear of losing or the hope of getting See shall not control me, for no matter rbnt other people may think and do; I had ather be "an honest statesman or oitisen ut of ajoV than a political triokster and hunner, or a deep dyed rillian in the United tales Senate. Yours very respectfully, II. L. FarLb T. i POINTS FROM CLEM80W ^resident Craighead has Something to tag of Interest to Parents, To the Editor of the Journal:?Your eadcrs have already learned of the resoluon of our board to the effect that "after .ugust 10th students will not bo permitted o enter." This applies, of course, to this tssion, which ends in December. At the 1 eginning of the February session new Ludenis will bo matriculated. This action 1 f the board calls for a word of explanation. 1 fe have already enrolled -100 students, here is a limit to our capacity. It is ,probb'e that by August 10th all rooms in the ormitory will have been taken. We canot as long as new students ore permitted to iter, arrange a permanent schedule either >r work on the farm or in the shops or for citations. Jlence the bofcrd^ ater this session could, by an extra effort, e here by August 10th, passed the above esolulion. Now, Mr. Editor, allow me a word to arents who contemplate sending eons to lemson. In the first place, eaoli boy who enters ere must deposit with the scoretary $38*5 for the first month's expenses. This oes not include books, which cost $5. Let ic itemize : 'or one month's board $ 7 00 'or two uniforms (they Jought to last two years 23 75 'or five month's medical fee 2 50 for one month's washing 50 Total $33 75 These uniforms are bought at wholesale rices, and arc sold to cadets at cost. It is n the end the cheapest clothing a student an buy. Thpy would cost at rotail at least 40. For every month after the first the ost is $7 for board and 60 cents for wasting. Industrious students who are wiling to do any kind of work will be furnished wo hours' work daily and will thus be nablod to make from $3 to $( a month and bus cut down their board to about $4 a lonth. Energetic men who have push and maw Artri An nnnnrf unit u In malro rran lore money than th'S, but the college H<ia? ot an?r?nice but iwo nours work per day 3 each student at 8 cents per hour. If the tudent perforins extra work he may gjt as moh as 8 cents per hour, but too probabi! ly is that ho wiii not be paid over 5 cents, n short, an energetic boy could reasonably xpect to spend the first five months here it a cost of ftbout $50. The next five nonths would oust him only $*2G, as he vould have no uniform to buy. This is all the college proposes to do, and urcly it is enough. It puts an education vithin the reach of even the poorest boy in South Carolina. Scoras of parents write to ne saying: "Our son wan:s an education, >ht he cannot raise the money." To such I :an only say, give your boy a chance to make the money. Any boy who is filling to do faithful work'on the fa.ip om mnko $5# in five, six ir eight mouths. The work will not kill lira. It will make a man of him, if he be ircd by tbo deteru ination to make somehing out of himself, At auy rate, do not send your boy to ^lcmson College expecting kind people here o see him through college. There are here 10 sucb people with whom I am acquainted. )ur American youth must learn to labor ind to wait. I have no faith in that young nan who is not willing to work this year hat he may go to oollcge next year. Before Heading your boy to Cleinson write or a prospectus that you may know what ve profess to teach. You may not like the :ollege, and, in that case, it would bc^er 'or you to send to ^ome olher institution, f yon a^e Worth $u,o6o abovo all indebtedteas, or if you reoeive a net inoome of M.000 a year you must pay tuition?$20 a lession. Clemson College offers every possible eulour-igement to honest, energsiic young men vho desire an education such as offered terc, bijt tq H|y, spoiled or vicious youths here is perhaps no place in South Carolina hat offers so few attractions as Fort Hill.
