" I .Scraps and /acts. ? Baltimore Is this week celebrating Its rise from the ashes of the great Are which destroyed so much of the city two years ago. The first of the big spectacular street pageants took place Tuesday and consisted of a military and marine parade which was viewed by 200,000b visitors. On Wednesday the feature was 200 magnificent floats, typifying the city's industries and manufacA ? rmw-k a# tlm flnota in lures. uiv uvov vi u*v tivMW ... t Wednesday's parade are estimated to have represented an outlay of $260.000. Yesterday the feature of the day was a fireman's parade Including the city's fire department, and thirty outside companies -which assisted Baltimore at the time of the great fire. The week's jubilee will wind up tonight with a carnival of fun and Jollification. ? John D. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil company have failed, after desperate efforts, to evade trial in the Ohio courts on- the charge of violation of the Valentine anti-trust laws of that state. Judge Banker jarred the Standard Oil people last June by refusing to agree with them on the proposition that they were Immune in so far as his court was concerned. A few days ago he refused to entertain the proposition of the Standard's attorneys that Mr. Rockefeller was no longer directly connected with the Standard Oil company. Judge Banker overruled the proposition, stating that Mr. Rockefeller was a very important factor in the affairs of the Standard Oil company. "The trusts' attorneys then made motion after motion to have the cases postponed on technical grounds, but Judge Banker gave the defendants' attorneys to understand very plainly that the days of delays were gone and that the Standard Oil company and John D. Rockefeller would certainly have to stand trial without any more foolishness. ? William Jennings Bryan received an ovation in St. Louis Tuesday second only to that which he received in Madison Square Garden, New York, on his return from his circuit of the globe. Tuesday morning Mr. Bryan made an extemporaneous address to the Southwestern Immigration association, the most noticeable feature of which was the gentleness with which he handled his proposed government ownership of railroads proposition. In part he said: "If there is any sentiment in the country today favoring government ownership of railroads, it is because the railroads have created the notion that they own1 the government. Just In proportion as the railroads regard the rights of the people. Just in proportion will we get along together. The railroad is the servant of the people. When it seeks to become the master of the people it usurps a place not rightfully belonging to it. I have no objection to nail road a themselves. The only time I criticise them Is when they misunderstand their position in society." ? John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, minority leader in the national house of representatives, expressing his views on the Bryan plans for government ownership of railroads, said a few days ago: "I am opposed to government ownership of railroads irrevocably, now and forever, In theory and in practice. It is a question concerning which Mr. Bryan ana i agree to disagree, but I see no good to be attained by rushing into print on the subject. We will simply vote it down If offered as a plank of the Democratic platform. Meanwhile let us not magnify Democratic differences. There are so many things we agrged upon?let us magnify them; push them to the front if we can. Bryan is not infallible and does not pretend to be. He is right about so many things, eloquently and greatly right, but absolutely and altogether wrong about this one thing, especially from the standpoint of racial peace and quiet in the south." Mr. Williams declared that he was strongly In favor of the government regulating railroad rates, but not of operating railroads. ? The Pennsylvania railroad's tunnel under the North river and connecting New York and Jersey City has at last been completed, and on Wednesday last a party of the Pennsylvania's engineers, contractors and a few outsiders, numbering forty, walked from Jersey City to New York. This tunnel has been under construction for the past two years, the work being pushed with all possible speed from both sides of the river, and is intended to give the Pennsylvania railroad trains entrance Into the centre of New York. The construction of this tunnel Is the first successful attempt to tunnel under the North river, although there have been millions of dollars spent in previous attempts to connect the two cities by a tunnel through which trains could be carried into New York city from the Jersey side. Although the work of building the tunnel was carried on from both sides of the river the work of the engineers was so accurate that when the two tubes met in the center of the river there was only a variation of one-sixteenth of an Inch In their alignment. This la the first of three tubes or tunnels which the Pennsylvania railroad company will put under the river. ? Wholesale massacres of Jews continue throughout Russia. Hardly a day passes that Jews are not slaughtered In greater or less number In some portion of the empire. At Siedlce, Russian Poland, a city of 30,000 Inhabitants, one-half of whom are Hebrews, during Saturday night, Sunday and Monday morning 200 Jews were massacred and 3,000 persons were wounded. The massacre was a direct result of an attack by Terrorists, who fired upon troops and police from the roofs of houses occupied by Jews, a policeman being killed by the firing. After the killing of the policeman the Libau regiment broke loose in unrestrained fury and fired into the Jewish quarter with rifles and artillery, sparing no one. The attack on the Jewish population was accompanied by pillaging ? many of the prominent building* ? were put to the torch. During Sunday morning twelve policemen and soldiers were killed. As the result of this the military was excited to fresh excesses of rage, and leaving Its barracks In the afternoon, proceeded to the Jewish quarter, shooting right and left as it went. All Christians were warned to hang out their ikons, and they were not molested. Over 150 Jewish shops were looted. On Monday morning the sale of stolen booty by the soldiers went on under the eyes of the regimental officers. A delegation of citizens requested the governor of the province to use his efforts to stop the rioting, p The governor refused to do anything y until the citizens would deliver up * the revolutionists, threatening to v bombard the. city unless this demand t] was complied with. No one Is al- ^ lowed to enter or leave the cliy un- s der any circumstances. The scenes p of Monday were of unspeakable hor- ^ ror. Everywhere there were screams w and cries, mingled with the sound of tl ride shots. e ti ? y $hc ^llorkrillf (Biiquitrr. I i. fa n _ e YORK VILLE, 9. C.t J A FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 14, I90G. tp - ~ ' : b "Mr Dkar" Appelt, has been re- * elected senator from Clarendon on an v anti-dispensary platform. d o 0 It appears that Abbeville has no favorite son in the primary.?Columbia Record. But South Carolina had one. 7 Frasetr Lyon stands a good chance of being the next governor of South o Carolina. Nells Christensen is also r deserving of some signal honor at the a fallow rltlzena' tl iiailUO V4 tiiW ?VI?V ? v....... ? V There Is no question of the fact ^ that the state dispensary was square- a ly before the people of the state in the 1 recent primary, and assertions and de- ? ciarations to the contrary notwiih- t standing, it is a fact that this is the J< first time that it was ever squarely e before the people of the state. ' ? 9 The Columbia Record has the hardi- tl hood to claim that the election of An a sel and Lyon is not to be taken as Sl condemnation of the state dispensary system. There seems to be no limit to ? the gall of some people especially s when that gall is being furnished on tl a purely commercial basis. P e Senator Tillman claims that the e dlspensaryites have a majority of the 1< legislature; but the Columbia State 11 insists that the anti-dispensaryites 0 have a majority of at least ten in the house. How this will be will develop ? later on. We have an idea that a " number of senators will hearken to the voice of the people as expressed in n the election of Ansel and get right. g The result of last Tuesday's elec- C tion in South Carolina is too important (to be considered lightly. While it is [j a fact that thousands and thousands of people neglected their plain duty s and remained away from the polls, ? still most of the farmers measured up tj to the responsibility of the occasion b and voted In accordance with the die- " tates of their judgment and conscience. p There is no doubt about the fact that i Senator Tillman Btood for Messrs. * Manning and Ragsdale as against h Messrs. Ansel and Lyon. That has been too plain all along to be disputed, n But still the election of Messrs. Ansel e and Lyon is not to be taken only as a rebuke to Senator Tillman. Senator o Tillman has been defeated, it is true; C but to claim that defeat as a rebuke b would be to take a very narrow view g of the real situation. Thousands of n admirers of Senator Tillman voted for h r Ansel and they did it because they dare not take any more chances with tl the state dispensary machine! These same voters will continue to give the senator their support in his efforts to y advance their interests in the United * States senate. ^ n ECHOES FROM THE ELECTION. e ?? w What the Newspapers Think of the J,' Will of tKe People. tl The nomination or Ansel over " Manning is a great disappointment to Mr. Mannings friends, as Ansel's tlec- 81 tion is a gratification to the friends ) of the victor, but neither Mr. Man- ? nlng nor his supporters are sulking J over the defeat. A clean, straightforward, decent contest was made 81 from the first 10 the last In Mr. Man- 8 nlng's behalf, and neither he nor his p friends have anything to regret or to * be ashamed of.?Sumter Item. " Mr. Ansel has won this race on his b platform, which declares in favor of t] the county dispensary as against the state institution, and the leaving of the question to each county to decide a for itself. His opponent. Senator n Richard I. Manning, is a gentleman a of the highest type, but he offered l( the people of South Carolina a "pu- 0 rifled state dispensary, a thing they p did not believe he could deliver, and j] upon this issue he met defeat. The g campaign has been free from unpleasant incidents and as between p the candidates it has been conducted on the highest lines.?Spartanburg Herald. The result of the primary election in the state yesterday was a fair and S square repudiation of the state dispensary. No other interpretation of it Is possible. The dispensary was . the issue upon which the campaign r had been made. Mr. Manning was a Jstronger man before the people than 1 Mr. Ansel. He was better known to the people of the state at large; and ^ he was generally regarded an abler man, and just as clean and honest i as his opponent. More than that, he r had many friends throughout the ^ state who supported him for reasons Vof personal friendship and otherwise. There were many strong and Influential men who were working for rj Manning who were opposed to the . state dispensary. Yet Mr. Ansel has . been elected by an overwhelming ~ vote. This must clearly show the F sentiment of the people of the state as regards the dispensary. Surely Vthe legislature which meets next January will wipe the state dispensary ' out of existence and give the people of each county a choice between . county dispensaries, if they want them, and straight prohibition.? ~ Anderson Daily Mail. Good morning. Governor Ansel; \ we wish you mighty well. The peo- u pie of South Carolina have elected s you by a most flattering majority to s the highest office in their gift, n Thpv hnvp takpn vnur word for it that you will exercise all your In- p fiuence and authority to destroy the t< state dispensary which has brought i? so much shame and sorrow to South a Carolina. The destruction of this den of iniquity was the paramount h and controlling Issue In the campaign tl which has eventuated In your trl- ]? umph. You were preferred by the n voters of your party because you o promised best. It was not a ques- h tlon with them of your personal popularity, which is great, or of your k personal honesty, which is acknowl- a edged of all men, or of your personal v fitness for official station, which has p been proved In other and Important t< places which you have held in the u service?your opponent in the race fi yesterday is also a man of as great \\ personal charm, of as high character ai and of as sincere devotion to the In- si terests of the state as you; but the d issue upon which you were elected was the destruction of the state dis- fi pensary. Mr. Manning might have ol beaten you upon any other issue and M In any other campaign. Don't for- rt get that! Don't forget that the peo- ? >le who supported you at the polli esterday will turn against you th? ery moment you give the least sigr f a disposition to palter with th< rork you have undertaken to do Ir heir behalf.

TILLMAN AND JONES. 'Key Disagree on the Question of th? Defeat of the Dispensary. Senator Tillman on Wednesday gavi ut the following to the Columbia cor. espondent or tne News ana courier "When all of the people spoke," h< aid, in discussing the complexion o lie legislature, "the state dispensary as sustained in the election of a leg ilature favorable to the state dispen ary. I can't count more than fifty nti-dlspensary members out of th< 24 members of the house, but to b< n the safe side I will concede that w< ave a majority there of only ten 01 welve. In the senate we have a ma arity of ten or eleven easy.

"But, senator, don't you agree tha he large majorities given Ansel am .yon is significant evidence of an anti tate dispensary sentiment throughou he state?" he was asked. "O, hell, wasn't Ansel one time a dis ensary man. He wanted to be gov> rnor. Governors and attorney gen' rals don't make laws. We've got the >glslature elected when ninety-ode housand spoke at the polls. Anse nd Lyon were elected with about 77, 00 voting.

"So far from being hurt about beinj cratched," said the senator, "I an ratified to know that in spite of al he newspapers have been saying tha here are 4,000 less of the irreconclla' le, unforgiving Bourbons than then ere six years ago.

"We beat "em out In the York prohl ition stronghold," said the senatoi leefully, "electing three out of foui jembers of the house, and we wouh ave left Steele Brice at home had h< un this time." State Chairman Wille Jones takei he opposite view from Tillman, con Inues the correspondent. He has no iken the pains to closely analyze tin ouse or the senate, but he thinki esterday's returns show a declde< entiment against the state dispensa* y, and he said today that he wouh ot be surprised to see the state disensary system abolished in favor o ounty dispensary, and this chang< ould not greatly disturb him. H< tilnks the counties will make goot loney running county dispensary, ant hat success in a few places will caust ther counties to go Into the business "If they establish a county dispenary in Richland, this county will cleai 100,000 a year from the business if I 5 conducted properly," said Genera ones. "Success here means county dispenaries throughout the state, for yoi now that soon as other counties set lichland, Charleston, Sumter and othr counties making money, they wil jllow suit."

Carroll, formerly of - Yorkville, now engaged in railroad . building in Tenenssee, with headquari ters at Oneida, had quite a serious adventure in Chattanooga recently, re suiting in a narrow escape from death r at the hands of a vicious negro. A i published account puts the matter about like this. Mr. Carroll was at ? the railway station in charge of a gang 1 of negro hands, waiting to take a train. The negroes began singing and t making a big racket generally. A po? liceman asked Mr. Carroll to quiet them. He spoke to them, suggesting a possible arrest and they became i quiet. A negro porter in the employ f of the express company told the ne! groes to make as much fuss as they ? wanted to; that the. police had nothi ing to do with them. This was in the presence of Mr. Carroll. Mr. Carroll I told the negro to attend to his own business, and threatened to have him > arrested. Then he turned away. : Presently the negro stepped up behind s Mr. Carroll and hit him in the back of the head with a clubbed Winchester . rifle. Mr. Carroll was knocked senseless and knew nothing until the next day. He has since written to his pa- i rents here, Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Carroll, 1 that he is now all right. He says he did not know what hit him and his first Impression upon regaining consciousness was that he had been run over by a train. The express company has undertaken the prosecution of the murderous negro who struck the blow. Capt. J. R. Lindsay returned Wednesday from Seagirt, N. J., where he had been for two weeks attending the national military rifle shoot. This is an annual affair under the auspices of the United States government and the biggest thing in the way of target practice, probably that takes place anywhere in the world. The shoot this year was the most successful that has ever been held. There were teams j representing the infantry and cavalry of the regular army, the navy and the ' national guard of thirty-nine states, and among them were the finest rifle i shots in the country. The shooting is done at ranges from 200 up to 1,000 I yards under varying conditions, repre- 1 senting scientific development of a high order. It Is necessary for the shooters to take account of wind, thermal and barometric conditions, for which they I call into use thermometers, barometers 1 and wind gages. Along with these, of course, they also use powerful field glasses. The rifles also have to be i tested and proved to absolute accuracy, as the slightest defect in the rifling, a defect that would not be appreciable at one hundred yards, would 1 at 1.000 yards deflect a bullet far out of its course. The highest awards were carried off by an infantry team of the regular army. This team is composed of the very best marksmen In the whole army, men who are kept in the most careful training all the while, and up to the highest standard of efficiency. The South Carolina team ranked thirty In the list; but Captain Lindsay assures us that however, this may sound, It is not bad. If the captain can find time later on he will give the readers of The Enquirer a detailed account of the whole occasion. Miss Cornelia Elliott of Lancaster, i arrived in Yorkvtlle yesterday on a visit to Misses Mary Ashe and Marlon Logan. 80RE MOUTH. * Dr Louis Klein, the state veterinarian., has sent out the following from Cleuson college with regard to sore mouth and tender feet in cattle. It is published for the benefit of people who ma}' be Interested: Within the last month the state veterinarian has received a number of letters concerning cattle affected with sore mouth and. in many cases, sore or uender feet As the disease seems to t>e generally prevalent, no doubt as a result of the long continued wet weather, the following information concerning it is supplied for publication : The disease Is known in medicine as mvf*ntlr athmatitls. It is not conta gious or Infectious but is caused by fun;?i or moulds which grow upon forage or grass. These fungi, which grow luxuriantly in wet seasons, have a very irritant effect upon the lining membrane of the mouth, the membrane covering the tongue and upon the soft skin between the claws. > Affected animals eat and drink with great difficulty or not at all, the saliva forms froth around the lips or dribbles from the mouth, the membrane lining the mouth Is red and hot and contains ulcers, the membrane covering the tongue is affected in the same way, and a very offensive odor is usually present. Sometimes the skin between 1 the claws and Just above the hoof Js affected and then the animal walks stlfT and sore. The trouble is usually confined to the anterior limbs but all four legs may be attacked. In milk cows ulcers may also appear on the udder and teats. Herds of cattle in which animals have been attacked with this disease should be removed from the pasture In which they have been running. The affected animals should be fed on soft food, such as bran mashes, meal and gruels. They should have free access at all times to clean, cool water and two heaping tablespoonfuls of borax should be dissolved in each of the first two buckets of water given each day. The mouth should be washed out daily with a solution of creolin? one tablespoonful of creolin to eacn quart of water?and following this a half-tablespoonful of alum or borax should be placed on the tongue. Diseased areas on the feet should be washed daily with the creolin solution and afterward covered with zinc ointment. If this treatment is properly applied and the animals are carefully fed the disease will rapidly disappear. , THE GAME OF POLITIC8. While nominally three members of the York county legislative delegation stands for the continuance of the state i dispensary and one against it, it is ' hardly fair to say that York county has endorsed the state machine. < The fact of the matter is that the ( dispensary party put in the moBt energetic work and played the most successful politics and that is about all I. AKAM* I * IIICIC 10 auvuv ?b. At the outset the dispensary party took strong grounds as against the Brice law and in favor of the state dispensary; but later on finding that J this policy was not popular, shifted its i position to such an extent that it was not positive on anything connected , with the dispensary issue, even to insisting on thd continuance of dispensaries in counties that were opposed to them. The anti-dispensary candidates stood ! by their platform from the beginning and made no suggestion of a compromise. Because, however, of the man- , ner in which the dispensary people clung to them, they found it difficult to make the issue clear to voters who j have not yet been taught to distinguish as between issues. As to just how the candidacy of Mr. McCain came about has never been made exactly clear. It is a fact that , about the time of the May convention and afterward. Mr. McCain conferred with leaders of the dispensary side with a view to securing their endorse- ( ment. They gave him to understand , that they did not want him?not on , their side. His subsequent announcement on the anti-dispensary side, es- , peclally in view of the fact that he had , always been known as a dlspensaryite, was quite embarrassing to that side. ( Those who understood a little about ( politics saw at once that under circumstances where the voters were ] anything like equally divided, with 1 four men to be voted for on one side and five on the other, the side that had , five was at a disadvantage. The ex- | tern: of this disadvantage was fully developed as the result of the first prima.y. Mr. McCain took enough votes off of the anti-dispensary people to let Mr. Epps in and to defeat the other thfi.o anll-Hlsnpnsnrv raniKHotBti i There was an effort to make It appear that Mr. Brlce was responsible for the candidacy of Mr. McCain and Mr. McCain himself gave some substantiation to that effect In a published card. Mr. Brlce failed to make any public denial; but privately told different people that at one time last spring, when Dr. Saye had given It out that he would not be a candidate, and Mr. McCain came to him with a view to being an anti-dispensary candidate, he said, "If the present representatives do not run, and you oppose the dlspensarv, I will vote for you." A communication In another column sets forth very clearly that the dispensary candidates were elected not on the dispensary Issue but on the 10hour issue, and the story of this supplies another interesting chapter on the "get there" characteristics of practical politics. It will be remembered that In the dispensary convention held in the court house some time back, the comm ttee on platform reported a plank declaring for a 10-hour law. This plank was adopted but was afterward re-considered. The matter was not emphasized in the campaign that followed, until after the close of the canvass. and then the dispensary people made the 10-hour Issue with the mill people for everything they were worth, capturing a large part of the mill vote. The first primary having shown that the country people went against the state dispensary machine, during the Interval between the two elections, the dispensary people devoted their attention almost entirely to the mill vote, UBtng principally the 10-hour proposlf tlon. The old representatives having: voted against the 10-hour bill, had nothing on which to appeal to the mill voters and made but little If any ?ffort In that direction. The mill vote came out much more solidly In the second election than in the first ind voted almost to a man for the dispensary delegation. Of course, the dispensary delegates will feel that they are bound to vote For the continuance of the state machine. There Is no reasonable doubt pf the fact that they are so bound, and no one would think of expecting them to do otherwise; but still It Is very doubtful as to whether in so doing they will represent the majority sentiment of York county. Except for the vote that was cast for them on the 10-hour Issue they would not have Ivaam tiAmlnelstil ucoii iiviiiiuaivui But looking at politics purely as a game, and that is the way the practical politicians treat the matter, there Is no doubt about the (act that the dispensary leaders played their side of the gatae best, at least as to the contest for representation' in the house. However, it is a fact that there was nobody playing much on the other side. The antl- dispensary vote was in the main the unhampered expression of those who have come to the conclusion that the best interest of the state demands the abolition of the state dispensary, and such a vote as this Is not to be manipulated by dispensary or other politicians. However, it all may have been, there Is no special reason for regret. Not one of the defeated candidates wanted to go back. That is none of them had any personal desire to go. Dr. Saye did not want to go. Neither did Mr. Reamguard, Mr. Ardrey or Dr. Map**y. They would have preferred to have won, of course; but it was for political rather than personal reasons. And the new men are all good representative citizens?men of character and ability and there is no reason to fear that York county will not be represented as thoroughly, as efficiently and as creditably as heretofore. The election of Mr. Ansel and Mr. Lyon indicates the attitude of the county to the state dispensary. i nrn i trr>Nir.A We Will Send Th? Enquirer From this date until January let, 1907, for 62 cent*.

Patterson, a machinist of the Fort Mill Manufacturing company, was knocked down by a live electric wiro last Tuesday and for some time It was a matter of doubt as to whether he was alive or dead. The current burned a small round hole through the scalp to the skull. Bryan In Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. W. J.

Married on the Battleground. King's Mountain Herald: Mr. Bright Williamson and Miss Margaret Jo tee were happily married yesterday evening at the King's Mountain battleground monument in the presence of a few intimate friends, Rev. J. M. Forbls performing the ceremony, which blended their lives into one. The groom is of one of the most prominent families of South Carolina, a citizen of Darlington, where he is president of the bank of that city, and a large planter. The bride is a sister of Mrs. J. M.

Drowned at Lockhart. Union special of September 12 to the Columbia State: A special to Progress from Lockhart says that about three o'clock this afternoon, S. C. McMillan, employed by the General Fire Extinguisher company, headquarters at Charlotte, was drowned In Broad river while bathing with some companions. It appears he was seised with cramp and before any one realized his condition he sank and when the body was recovered it was too late for him to be revived. He had been working there two weeks in the new mill. Little is known of him except that. he was a member of the Red Men,. Tribe No 42, at Spartanburg, and Odd Fellows lodge at Gastonia. All efforts to find his family or relatives have up to a late hour proved unsuccessful and he will be burled at Lockhart if they cannot be located soon. For Bettor Roads. Mr. W. P. Boyd of the Point neighborhood, was in Yorkville yesterday, and in conversation with the reporter expressed his view of the most important matter now before the people like this; "Now that the dispensary question has been settled, Dr at least settled so far as the people can settle it, I hope thoughtful folks will turn their attention to the matter of better roads. We have been doing a lot of talk about the roads; but very little else. Because of bad roads during the recent wet weather I lost enough fruit and water melons that I would have otherwise been able to sell at a good price to pay my road tax for years. If we would only give the roads Just about half as much thought as we have been giving this liquor question we would soon grade and macademlze every highway in York county. The C. & N.-W. Shops. Chester special of September 11, to Charlotte Observer: A great deal has been written recently about the probable removal of the C. & N.-W. railroad shops from Chester to Gastonla, jr some other town making a good otter. Investigation shows that there is nothing in these rumors further than that Gastonla will be made a divisional point on the road, thus causing several crews that have hitherto been lying over in Chester to lie over in 3astonia. To keep in repair the rollng stock that will naturally collect iround Gastonla or to do emergency work at any point above that :ity a force of five men from the shops nere will be detailed for service at juaiunia. una, u la learneu on i enable authority, is the only change con:emplated for years to come, so all the :alk about the immediate removal of :he works with the scramble incident hereto is very ill-timed.

OiIIivm the DispensaryiUfl Have a Majority in tha Legislature. "If my opponents are satisfied with the result of the primary election held in South Carolina yesterday," declared Senator B. R. Tillman, "I certainly am. I did not have the opportunity of voting in the first Democratic primary which waa held w hile I was on a -lecture trip west, but I voted yesterday. True the gentlemen for whom I voted were defeated, but that neither surprised nor does It disturb me. The governor does not enact laws, you know, neither can he repeal those which are made." This thought was a pleasant one, for here Senator Tillman stopped, glanced sharply at the newspaper man and smiled. "My fight was on the legislature. In the senate we have a safe working majority and many friends tell me that we have control also of the house. With the new senators who favor a state dispensary and the hold-overs, ws have a majority of ten men in that body. In the house, the vote will be closer, so I am told, with the odds in our favor. Tou must remember that I have been out of the state for several weeks past, and . I cannot speak authoritatively. My information, which I am tcnfldent is reliable, gives us an easy majority in both branches of the legislature. For this reason, I say that I won my pght" .. A . .. .. tvfiSt. As he uttered these last words, Senator Tillman turned sharply and glanced about the room as if it were full of his opponents, some of whom, perhaps, might question his word. He presented a picture to be remembered. Coatless and collariesa his full head at lmn-arrs.v Hair rumnled up and the perspiration standing out on his forehead, he looked the man that he is. one who had risen from the lowest to the hUrhest by the sheer might of his wn achievements. That he was vitally concerned In the outcome of th# South Carolina primaries was evident from the manner in which he expressed himself. His words came thick and fast They were sharp and to the point "I believe that we did well in the primaries considering the odds," continued Senator Tillman. "The prohibitionists, the blind tigers, the local opuonisw, kiiu iub uiiu uwviinv w vocatea made common cause against the state dlapensaVy. well knowing that Its defeat would give them the opportunity to carry out their nefarious scbemea "This unholy alliance did not accomplish what Its promoters had in view. I visited twenty?four counties, my object being to carry them for tb* dispensary In the legislature. An anti-dispensary governor was named and so also an anti-dispensary attorney general." Here Senator Tillman turned aside ?n to Ira fall nut of T.vnn. the nom inee of the party for attorney general. "He was elected on the 'antigraft' platform," said Senator Tillman. "A great hurrah was made and much duet stirred In the fight. The friends of the dispensary are as much opposed to grafting as anybody In South Carolina. We desire nothing more than a fair and square deal. And yet, such a vast amount of political capital was made out of this anti-graft platform that Lyon was elected." After a discussion of several of the details of his dispensary schemes, which has been discussed so much of late in the South Carolina papers. Senator Tillman closed with the statement that he was determined to give his native state, an institution worthy of its glorious past and one that would be a model for others to copy after. "It is a herculean task," he Bald, "one that requires Incalculable work and thought." Here Senator Tillman turned and sat down in a chair, which stood In one corner of the room. His grip was open on the table and he was making ready to go down to supper In the Central hotel dining hall. He has aged considerably during the past few years. . While there are many more wrinkles in his face and his tialr is a shade grayer than it was several years ago, his step is juat aa elastic and vigorous, his eye aa bright and keen, his mind aa quick md perceptive and his tongue aa sharp and trenchant as it was a decide ago when he lifted himself ibove all heads in South Carolina ind paved his way for entrance into :hat most exclusive club in the vorld, the senate of the United States >f America. Early this morning he will leave 'or Spartanburg, S. C.? from which joint he will go direct to Wisconsin, vhere he has engagements to apeak.
