TABLET'S REPLY TO IBBT.
A Scorching letter to the Ihtblic.
I believe the publio is generally aware
that I have been waiting ou Capt. James
Tillman, who announced his intention of
of answering Senator Irby's artiole, tho gist
which Is* that he, 8enator Irby, is not the
real Author or responsible for the statement
in the "Craldoclt' article, but that James
Tillman is, and he supports this assortion by
affidavits from M^J. W. F. Gary, Dr. Sampson
Pope and one Matthew Tighe, his secretary.
, in order that the publio may eatch the
whole matter olearly I will state that last
Christmas, while snow-bound here in Columbia,
and afterwards whilst snow-bound in
Laurens, 1 prepared a rough artiole on the
political situation in South Carolina, headed
"The Reform Movement" and "Some Christmas
Reflections of an Old Reformer. It was
written from a patriotic standpoint and was
intended for the good of the Reform movement
and to "pour oil upon the troubled
waters" of the State. It endeavored to criticise
all factious fairly and there is unavoidably
in such an article some honest and fair
oriticism of Governor Tillman as a publio
officelr.
While contemplating its publication under
a nom de plume on its morits I read it to
Mr. John G. Capers, of the Columbia Journal,
' whose paper had aououocod its intention to
pursue a non-partisan oourse in ocoord with
the general spirit of the artiole, and also to
Mr. James II. Tillman, telling the latter that
I intended to bring the article to Washing
ion ana submit it to tlio criticism or his
father, whom I considered a broad guaged
statesman, who was, with Oen. Gary, one of
the founders of the Reform Movement in
South Caroliua. Mr. Capers and Capl.
Tillman were both anxious to publish the
artiole, but 1 withheld it for further consid- ,
oration, and In accordance with the advioo ,
of some of my friends, and in consideration (
of thfc fact that it contained some criticism
of Governor Tillman, to whose admioistra- ,
tlon I belonged, I had almost, if not alto- (
gelher, abandoned the idea of publishing, ,
but now sinoe it has been brought in question,
1 will let it go to the press with the ,
request that although it is eomewhat long
every paper in the State will publish it, and ,
I do not ouljr ask, but I challenge a criticism f
of it from the standpoint of truth, true Democracy
and patriotism. j
Governor Tillman is strong enough and
bravo enough, not only to stand bat to accept }
the criticism it oontains in proper spirit, for, j
as Senator Irby onco said to him, in one of (
his flashes of truth and honesty, "We both ,
know that Farley never flatters us or tells us ,
any lies." Possibly if the artiole is care- ,
fully read, and its advice heeded it may yet j
represent the good that is to come out of this ,
controversy. t
I had been invited to slay with Capt. Till- j
man in Washington, but the rush of visitors ,
was so great that 1 remained with the staff, (
and during my entire slay I did not have j
more than a five-minute conversation with (
him, nor did I read or exhibit the artiole to (
any one in Washington. Meeting numbers
of friends, and seeking no office there, I was t
constantly engaged socially, and hod but ,
little to do with politics iu any form. The ?
eharge that I had a conversation with Capt. ]
Tillman and offered him an artiole for pub- t
lication whioh he refused, and told him of a ,
- combine'im which had been agreed upon, c
offering him the position of Adjutant Gene- c
ral, U as pure and unadulterated a lie as t
was ever put upon paper, no matter who is n
the author or instigator of it. Indeed, on ?
"Saturday after the inauguration," when ,
senator irby says it took place, I bad left
Washington, and was speeding my way to
South Carolina, The allusion 10 the artiolo
which I had shown Capt. Tillman before he
% left the Stale, at leaH six weeks before, is all
the truth there is to it.
1 have asked the papers to republish that
wonderful epistle to the Georgians, making
"new revelations" of a ftmrftit combination
to f'overthrow Tillman and Irby," so that
they can study and aualyie it carefully, ahd
they will find but a little of James Tillman
in it, just enough to satisfy his vanity, a
{;ood deal of my old friend Maj. Gary, and
t is bristling all ovor with Irby, in whose
interest was it written, and fur what purposes,
who inspired it, who concocted it, or
actually wrote it. Did Matthew, Mark,
Luke or John all have a hand in the epistle
to the Georgians, and send it under James
Tillman's nom de plume, Craddock ? Was
Jim implicated himself, or, as they have
taken suoh extraordinary pains to make the
Eubiio believe, did he originate and write it
imself?
. I have shown how the talk about "an artiolo"
origioated, and 1 will show the public
the article, and my explanation of the grand
eombine is simple and easy. Irby heard of
the Ferloy article. Shell had announoed his
intention to roiiro, which he oonld not understand
(for there is no retiring in Irby)Farley
bad called by Senator Butler's ofijoe
ooe day with Col. William H. Perry, and
knowing of Senator Irby's bitter hatred, had
ignored him while in Washington, and Irby
^ began to ruminate. At last he began to believe
there was a oouibinadon, ana he ooneluded
to o?ake the.obarge and have it publiehed
in Georgia, "where it would attract
just sufficient attention to be copied and (
reaob the people of this State and create die- ,
trust among the Reformers in tbls State (
gainst Shell and Farley, and Talbert, too, <
although in his last artiole he tries to skill- ]
fhlly lie the Talbert part out. This was the j
scheme, and if young Jim Tillman had any- '
^ thing to do with i1, he was the victim of |
Senator Irby, and now by "mixing error and
truth Irby is playing the part of a deliberate ]
fl^k^scoundrel by trying to throw the whole
J^^HtoblOBe" on Capt. Tillman, and making him (
^^H^the eoapegoat, thus committing a still greater j
mar erime, that of sacrificing the Governor's
nephew to shield himself from exposure.
nHiood is (and ought to be) tbioker than
^ water," sod 1 know that Governor Tillman
Knows Irby, ant| has found out long ago that
charge of a oernbiaalion on the part of
Shell 0ua myself, with Gen. l}utler or aqy
one else, is totally untrue. Sinoe it bos been
alluded to he and Mr. Qeorge Tillman both
know that I hare done more towards healing
the breach between ihem than any one.
Indeed, I am totally unlike Irby in this,
that I have made none but friends for him,
while Irby has oonetantly made him enemies
and tiled to estraoge old and well tried
friends from him, as I am prepared to show.
But who is tryiog to stand up for the truth
of the Craddook artiole or the alleged combination
T Not Jim Tillman, on whose authority
they say it was published,and in faot
no one but Irby, "the real author," and he
only says that "every one who reads the
papers end bas watched tho turns in politics
will see ihat there was truth, and lots of it,
in what Tillmau and. What papers? Conoludiog
his remarks Irby says: ' Why did
hoi (jtfh. FarlSy ask of mg an efxpl%nation If
he beliefs* whet he pretends to believe of
the assumed wrong I did him 7" And 1
answer, Why, John, did yon not ask of me
a?* explanation of Jim Tillman's wonderful
oombine, when he Jold you, instead of (ao
,/ eording to your own aekoowledgement)
enooitragiug him to put it fa the (apers?
Why di<f not niy life-long friend, Mm. Uary,
who same through Columbia, and got me to
write him a strong endorsement and get the
other State officers to ooneur with mo ? Why
did he net give me a ohanoe to explain
^ before it was published?or after it was published?for
1 have been with him einoe in
Augusta and been iavited to bie home.
Where wae Sampson Pope, the "sorriful"
ttmn Sampeon, that he oould not tell me?but mast
eotas M your emmisssry to tell Governor
Iman about it "for fear that the Governor
^M^^^Mrettid not see the Sunday edition of the
^phroniole." Ah I Johnnie, I went for yon
hBSJ in the papers, where you started your lie,
Which i determined to run down, a* well as
a'" ' /'
f
s
you denied ihet you instigated his arlic
he told you that you were '-a liar," to y<
face, and you had to lake it, John, you i
not a brave man anyway, but "oonsoiei
makes cowards of us all," and I know tl
you are guilty. Take this advioe,|Jobu,
if you don't, it will not be long before 3
will come to no good. ''You must keep 1
of the papers too, John, and quit'cbargi
other people with being "traitors," becat
your record will not betr any airing, a
besides I am prepared to prove you at hei
a traitor to your friend, Governor Tillmi
a traitor to the Allianoe and a traitor to t
Reform Movement, and if I beer anythi
more from you, I'll do it, John.
A r.VRTINO WORD TO TBI ALLIANCE.
Beforo closing, I waht to say a word
my old friends of the Allianee, and mt
particularly those in my native oounty
Laurens.
Without waiting to bear both sides of I
controversy, some of you have undertak
to decide it by resolution. 8ardis Alliat
went so far as to withdraw its invitation 1
me to address them.
Gentlemen, that was not fair, nor rig
for tbis was a personal matter, and no 1
form or Alliance matters were involved,
was reared in Laurens county; and am w
known there, and no resolution by all t
Alliances of the State can give me a t
character or John Irby a good one. I ma
you a good soldier in war limes, and, thou
a boy, fought my way up from the ranks,
stood by you, anil was rent from here to j
fcr you in Radical and Klu-Klux times,
fought for you and wrote for you in 18'
Long before you were aroused to a kno
ledge and appreciation of your own wroni
and long before Ben Tillman's voice v
heard in the land, I had been working a
writing for "free silver and financial reliel
and nearly every plaok in the reform pli
form. Many of you know it, and besides
will prove it, by the record.
I belong to the Reform Movement and n
to any individual, and I am in sympat
witii all the ossealial demands of the A1
ance, and shall advocate work and Tote 1
the principles that tbey now represent,
long as they keep withinilhe Democrai
party. My position is the result of my r
cord, which is well known and consisiei
and is not due to political trimmings
ciat tail swinging." Since arriving
manhood, I have done the best I could 1
the State, for you, and the Reform Mot
meat.
I have always expressed myself fearless
and independently, and shall continue to
so, regardless of everything except my sen
of right and my duty to the StateThe
fear of losing or the hope of gettii
office shall not control me, for no matt
what other people may think and do: 1 h
rather be "an honest statesman or oitixi
out of ajo*b" than a political trickster at
shunner, or a deep dyed villian in the Unit*
States Senate.
Yours very respectfully,
II. L. Farley.
POINTS FROM CLEM80H
President Craighead has Something to sag
Interest to Parents,
To the Editor of the Journal:?Yo
readers have already learned of the resol
tion of our board to the effect that "aft
August 10th students will not bo permitti
to enter." This npplies, of course, to tb
session, which ends in Doeember. At tl
beginning of the February session ne
students will bo matriculated. This actii
of the board calls for a word of explanatio
We have already enrolled 400 student
There is a limit to our capacity. It is ,pro
ab'e that by August 10th all rooms in tl
dormitory will have been taken. Wo ca
not as long as new students ore permitted
enter, arrange a permanent schedule eith
for work on the fnrm or in the shops or f
recitations. Hence the bofcrd. believing,,th
U| .. iuwo wuu wisneu
enter this session could, by an extra effoi
bo here by August 10th, passed the abo
resolution.
Now, Mr. Editor, allow me a word
parents who contemplate sending sons
Clemson.
In the first plaoe, eaoh boy who ente
pulling and malting all sone of promises that
you cannot fulfill. Already you are
known among the applicants as 'qromiaing''
(but not performing) John. Oo back to
your seat, and try to attend to your publio
business and 1 really believe that if they
will let you stay for a half century you
might mike a Senator. I know that you
"feel like a fool at a frolic" in the Senaie,
but I can't help that now, and can only advi
e you to be modest and keep quiet so
that you wont expose your iguorance.
Another thing, John. Your game at play*
ing the bully has been run in the ground.
You can't bully everybody,for now and then,
John, you have run up against a game man,
and you have to wi t, John, and people find
out that at heart yon ate la 'c4*ard. I leqrn
lohq, that you attacked Capt, Shell at John
Shaw's private residence on account of my
artiole, when you knew he was unarmed,
and you drew your bowie knife. New,
John, that was uogentlemanly and cowardly.
Why did you not oome after me, for 1 wrote
every word of the artiole myself and signed
my name lqstcqd of "Gradaook. By the
way,'John, you have hinted that you wanted
tq settle these matters "out of the'
papers." I know that you are not hunting
any sqaare, fair fight, but if you oan't stand
these affectionate missives, or pleasant pasquinades,
of mine, aod conoluqe to r>*k it,
don't try to drag in friend* or re'atlves to
do your Aghtiog, as you have an old and
important habit of doing, but oome by yourself,
Johnny, fur you know you can get fair
?lay aud always find "where 1 am at."
ou are getting iqto serious trouhlo, John,
and the only way to get out, i? to keep
quiet, and quit getting other people to do
your dirly work. The McKlroy exporienoe
was m*hoiont to hare satisfied yon, for when
H- ^^18aWar ! i*\u&sti11t.lv* Yw
the Donaldson caucus, and I have done so.
As eoon as the "Craddoek" article was
shown me at the Governor's Mansion I said
that it was "inspired" by you and that "Jim
Tillman did n?t write it," and subsequent
developments prove it. Lit us soe how it
oame about. 1 kept quiet and sion Cal
Caughman, who had just returned from
Washington, told me that Jim Tillman said
that ho was not the author of it. Later Jim
Tillman returned and we bad some oorre*p
mdencc about the "Capers Light lafantry"
which developed as follows :
Clark's Hill, 20 May, 1893.
"Yours of the 25th instant, I found on my
return. A ppdatment for Capers Light Infantry
i-spcotion more than satisfactory. I
hope y u will make It convenient to spend
two or t-iree days with us.
"If it is necossiry to convinoe you about
the "Craddock" artio'o I will seod to Washington
and get the original manusoript, as
it was filed at the W. U. T. office. My name
and mm de plume haye been used in connecion
with several bastard productions
without my permission, and only peouliar
circumstances of whioh I shall tell you, prevented
my denouncing them, as we'l as the
real author. You told others about your
artiole whioh they divulged and made mo
the scapo goat. However I will tell you all
about it when I sec you. Yours etc.,
Jab. H. Tillman.
I wrote to him tlist I did not care about
the artiole as that could speak for itself,
though no one in Washington at that timo
had ever seen it except himself.
n- io.l _ f * - ?*?
vu ui? i?<u vi vudv ue writes again, renewing
hia invitation to visit them on the
ocoasion of tlie inspection, and concludes, as
shown by bis le.tcr before me, "Don't forget
your article. Fath'er stajs he will take
pleasure in comparing notes wi'h you."
I took the article with me and read it to
"Uncle George," and got his critioism of it,
and after James Tillman had told me all
about the "Craddook" arliole and many
other things corroborative of his statement,
I told him that I intended to expose Irby
and asked him to state definitely fur my protection
who the real author was,.as an addition
or postscript to his 20th Mny letter,
ile then eat down and deliberately added to
that letter :
"P. S,?It is hardly necessary for me to
idd that Irby dictated the article to his
lecretary."
This is tho whole story and the public
mows the rest.
Now I submit the question to tho public.
tVho am I to believe?James Tiilman, who
ells me all about it and at last "lets the
jm oui 01 me nag, or mose who conceal
his "stab in the back" and ' in the dark"
mtil I forced it out by exposing and dclouncing
Senator Irby for the scounlrel I
tnew him to be t Even if we acknowledge
hat there was a possibility for James Tillnan
to have been in it, there isno possibilty
for Irby lo have been out of It. They
ivero all privy to it, nd no one told me exiept
James Tillman. Ilence my letter, and
t is my private opinion, publioly expressid,
that Irby got "mighty light," as the
larkey said when John Brown was hung.
Let it be remembered that all of the paries
were ofHce-seekers, including Jim Tillnan
(who was applying for a counsulship)
ind all seeking Senator Irby's patronage,
.ict it not be forgotten that contemporaneous
clegrams were sent to the Rey titer covering
he same matter, all of which is in perfect
ensonance with Irby's well-known method
if puffing himself; thoa put James Tillnan's
statement in the balance with the
ictual contents of the "Craddock" artiole,
md the conclusion is inevitable?not only
vas it born in that den of iniquity from
vhich few men have escaped with olean
lands, but that Irby was at the bottom of i>.
Now. Senator John, since you have underakon
to interpret my notion in exposing
rou, let me interpret yours. Ileuiember,
lohn, that but for the "Craddock" aniole,
vhich you have acknowledged was written
md eent off uudir nn *-.>*-? * oouiu 1101
tave expossed you, and that you provoked
t. In alluding to the Congressional race,
tavo you not expossed your wiley and artul
game ? You discovered a m ire's nest,
ind hating Farley and Shell, you put it in
ho papers to oxoito suspicion among the
Reformers and sent Sampson Pope to the
lovernor to exoite his distrust in order to
till them off. Io not that plain, Johnnie?
Now. Senator John, let me give you some
jood advice before you get out of the papers,
or I sec, John, that you aro exceedingly
inxious to jet out of the papers. It's a bad
olaoe for you, as there is no telling what
nay come out, and theso little love letters
>f mine are not Buch pleasant reading as
he Register's pretty personals, "Craddook'a"
liclatcd and punctuated praises, or Larry
Jantt's powerful puffs. I told you a long
ime ago?.kindly?John, that you couldn't
mstain yourself in the United States Senate,
tnd advised you not to try it. Now you seo
.he result. 1 told you also, when you asked
ny advico, to resign the chairmanship of
he exeoutive committee and keep out of
State squabbles, beoause you bad a bigger
ob than you oould properly attend to, at
IVosbington. I told or wrote Governor Till
nan mat you were not me man ror me
jlace, about the same time, and you knew
yourself that while I was willing to see Qeo.
Hampton retain bis soat for the harmony of
.he Democratio party, still I urged that
some man of more strength, charaoter and
iignity than yourself bu elected. Uncle
Jeorge, Judge Wallaoe, Judge l'ope, and a<
last, when I saw that there was real danger,
1 urged Governor Tillman himself to go.
You see I was right, John, for you have
been making a great fool of yourself, and
you have'done us no good. You have tried
bullying and bragging and begging around
Washington until you have played out and
cannot now appoiut a dog pelter, while 1
hear they are alt laughing at you, from the
President down. Take my advioe, John.
Resign the ohairmanship and let us alono
down here, for you cannot rnn the State and
national government both at the aame time.
Quit running dovyn here, bothering other
people and trying to pass foolish wild oat
Fchemes through the legislature. Quit
'-rushin around" and sahemioa and wire
here must deposit with the seoretary $3?
75 for the first month's expenses. Tfa
doos not inolude books, which cost |S5. L
mc itemise:
For one month's board $ 7 <
For two uniforms (they 'ought to last
two years 23 '
For five month's medioal fee 2 I
For one month's washing 1
Total $33 '
These uniforms are bnight at wholes*
prices, and are sold to cadets at cost. It
in the end the cheapest clothing a stude
can buy. They would oost at retail at lea
$40. For every month after the first tl
cost is $7 for board and 60 oents for was
ing. Industrious students who are wi
ing to do any kind of work will be furnishi
two hours' work dally and will thus
enablod to make from $3 to $1 a month at
thus cut down their board to about $4
month. Energetio men who have push ai
tact may find an opportunity to make evt
more money than th's, bat the college dot
not guarantee but two hours work per di
to eaoh student at 8 cents per hour. If tl
student performs extra work he may gat i
much as 8 ceots per hour, but tne probabi
ity is that he will not be paid over 6 cent
In short., an energetic boy could reasonab
expect to spend the first five months he
si a cost of about $50. The next fi
months would oost him only $26, as ]
would have no uniform to buy.
This is all the college proposes to do, ai
surely it is enough. It puts an educati
within the reaoh of even the poorest boy
South Carolina. Scorns of parents write
me saying: "Our son wants an eduoatio
but he eannot raise the money." To such
can only say, give your boy a chance
make the money.
Any boy who is filling to do faithl
work'on the fa.pi can make $69 in five, s
or eight months. The work will not k
him. It will make a man of him, if he
fired by the detern ination to moke sou
thing out of himself,
At spy rate, do not send your boy
utemsoD college expecting kind people he
to see him through oollege. There are he
no such people with whom I am acquaintc
