? John D. Rockefeller Is spending
a month in Augusta. Ga., and last
Sunday morning he attended the Tabernacle
negro Baptist church. He
was ushered to a seat up near the
pulpit and after the sermon he sent
for the preacher, Rev. C. T. Walker,
whom he- had previously met In New
York, and they exchanged effusive
ereetlnas. It Is stated that Vhen the
contribution box came around Mr. I
Rockefeller deposited $20 therein.
? The Ohio river Is on a serious
rampage almost along its entire
course. Many people are homeless
In various cities, the total number.
Including Cincinnati, footing up
something like 20,000. The people
have been driven from their homes
on account of high water. A big iron
foundry located on the river front at
Cincinnati caught Are last Sunday,
. and the approaches being cut off by
the surrounding water, the firemen
were unable to get near enough to
fight the flames. The loss amounted
to several hundred thousand dollars.
? Seventy-two passengers on an accommodation
passenger train on the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and
St. Louis rallfoad, were killed at Terre
Haute, Indiana last Sunday, in a
rather unusual manner and thirty or
more were injured. The disaster
was caued by the explosion of a car
load of powder on an adjoining side
track. Just how the explosion oc
curred Is not known. Some of the
railroad people say it was the result
of concussion; but that is not certain.
The entire Mocal passenger train, including
the locomotive, was thrown
from the track and hurled a distance
of fifty feet or more. Many of the
passengers were blown to pieces. Fire
broke out in the debris immediately
afterward and a number of bodies
were burned. Wreckage was strewn
about the place for several hundred
yards. The explosions Jarred the vicinity
like an earthquake.
? The United States last Friday
begun two suits In San Francisco to
enforce the provisions of the treaty
with Japan, giving to the Japanese
equal school advantages. One suit is
brought In the California supreme
court in the name of a Japanese child
for the purpose of obtaining a writ of
mandamus to compel his admission to
one of the city's public schools. The
second suit is a comprehensive bill in
equity filed by the United States in
the Federal circuit court, In which the
members of the board of education,
the superintendent of schools and all
the principals of primary* and grammar
schools are made defendants. In
both proceedings the government alleges
the execution of the ^treaty with
Japan in 1895, which provided that
"In whatever relates to the rights of
residence and travel" the subjects of
each party to the treaty shall enjoy
in the territories of the other "the
same privileges, liberties and rights
as citizens or subjects of the most favored
nation." The bill alleges that
th? JaDanese are not in any sense
"Mongolians." but form a separate and
distinct race.
? Quite a curious state of affairs
has developed in connection with
American offers of relief to the Jamaican
earthquake sufferers. Shortly
after the destruction of Kingston by
the earthquake, the United States battleships
Missouri and Indiana and the
gunboat Yankton, sailed into the harbor.
and offered their service to the
Jamaicans. Marines were landed to
help patrol the* streets and guard
property and they were also used in
clearing away debris. A hospital was
also established and the naval surgeons
gave free attendance to all comers.
It seems, however, that the
Americans failed to notify Governor
Sweltenham before they commenced
operations. After they had gotten
busy. Admiral Davis wrote to Governor
Sweltenham, advising him of
what had been done, and assuring the
governor of the willingness of the
Americans to do anything further
that might lie in their power. Governor
Sweltenham replied in an ironical
note of studied courtesy, thanking
the American for what he had been
pleased to do; but assuring him that
everything would have been done by
the Jamaicans. Admirals Davis and
Evans both paid visits of courtesy to
Governor Sweltenham; but the matter
passed off very coolly. The Americans
were given to understand that
the Jamaicans could handle the situation
all right and that the governor
did not appreciate any "butting in."
In the meantime several shiploads of
provisions which had already left the
United States were held up by wireless
and otherwise. The trouble seems
to have arisen out of the action of the
Americans in seeking to do relief
work on their own responsibility,
without having first advised the Jamaicans.
It is said that Kingston
reeks in stench from dead bodies still
under the destroyed buildings and
that all kinds of lawlessness prevails
throughout the city.
??Washington, Jan. 19: With elab
orate exercises ana in me presence 01
a distinguished audience, the one
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
fJeneral Robert E. Lee. the soldierpatriot
of the Confederacy, was commemorated
here tonight under the
auspices of the United Confederacy
and Southern societies of the District
of Columbia. The immense ball room
of the New Wlllard hotel, where the
meeting was held, was filled to overflowing.
The United States marine
hand stirred the audience with "Dixie"
and other southern melodies. Almost
every mention of the name of
Lee was greeted with applause. Although
unable to attend. President
Roosevelt sent a letter in which he
extolled the virtues of the Confederacy's
great general in war as well as
in peace. His suggestion that the
centennial anniversary be celebrated
by the establishment of a permanent
I?ee memorial at some great representative
educational institution of the
south met with instant favor. The
exercises were presided over Dy ne
Hon. Hilary A. Herbert, former secretary
of the navy, and were opened
with prayer by the Rev. Roland Cotton
Smith, D. D.. rector of St. John's
Episcopal church, who was lollowed
by the Rev. Wm. T. Thompson. D. D..
with the reading*of selections from the
Rible, after which the surpliced choir
of the Epiphany rendered "The Souls
of the Righteous." Chairman Herbert
then delivered a brief address,
after which he read an extract from
the "Life of Thomas H. Benton."
written by Theodore Roosevelt, in
which he referred to the Confederate
leader as the "very greatest of all the
captains that English-speaking peoples
have brought forth, and that the
world has never seen better soldiers
than those who followed him."
The reading of the president's letter
was assigned to .Mrs. Ralph Walsh,
president of the District of Columbia
division, United Daughters of th<
Confederacy. Following brief remarks
by Senator Perry of Arkansas
and Justice David Hrewer of tht
United States supreme court. Representative
John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
spoke. The annual ceremonj
of presenting crosses of honor to Confederate
veterans of distinguished
military record then occurred, the exercises
being brought to a close with
a benediction by the Right Rev. Hen
ry Y. Satterlee, Bishop of Washington.

YORKVILLE, 8. C.i
TUESDAY, JANUARY 22.1907.
Senator Latimer has placed himself
on record as endorsing the action
of the president In the Brownsville
matter, saying that In no other way
could the respect of the country for
the army have been preserved.
DoiMnnpi'T Rrwwpvpit was unable to
be present at the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of Robert
E. Lee in Washington last Saturday;
but he wrote a letter to the committee
of arrangements, Hon. Hillary' A. Herbert
and others In which he paid his
best tribute to the life and character
of the great American soldier and citizen.
The Southern Cotton association at
its annual meeting in Birmingham,
passed a resolution endorsing the
action of the president in dismissing
the negro troops at Brownsville. As
we have said time and again before,
the president was right in his action
as to this matter; but at the same
time we cannot see what the cotton
association, as such had to do with it.
% , m %
It Is all right maybe to give the
chief justice $6,000 a year and the associate
justices $5,500 each; but we do
not think the people of South Carolina
will be wise to pay their Judges more
than they pay their governor. The
salary of the governor should be fixed
at a higher figure than the salary of
any other officer under the state government,
not excepting representatives
In the United States congress.

the general assembly may pass a marriage
license bill at this session. We
would like to see such a bill passed;
but we are not building up much hopet
In that direction as yet. The traditions
and prejudices of this state are
too strongly against placing any restrictions
around the marriage contract.
But It is due to the welfare
of the present generation and tc
posterity that marriages should be
made a matter of legal record.
Of the many tributes to Genera
Lee that of the eloquent Hon. Benjamin
H. Hill deserves to rank with the
best:
"When the future historian comej
to survey the character of Lee he wll
find it rising like a huge mountalr
above the undulating plain of humanity.
and he will have to lift his eye<
toward heaven to catch its summit
He possessed every virtue of the greal
commanders, without their vices. H?
was a foe without hate, a friend without
reproach, a Christian without hypocrisy,
a man without guilt. He was
a Caesar without his ambition, a Frederick
without his tyranny, a Napoleor
without his selfishness, a Washingtor
without his reward. He was obedient
to authority as a servant, and loyal
in authority as a true king. H<
was gentle as a woman In life, modesl
and pure as a virgin in thought
watchful as a Roman vestal In duty
submissive to law as Socrates, anc
grand in battle as Achilles."
VUvr-w hnnsps of rnneress have foi
some time past been very' much interested
in the proposition to increase th?
salaries of senators and representatives,
and while the idea has beer
popular among all. as individuals
they have been slow to a?t. It was
very well understood that the proposition
was loaded. Most people loo!
upon $5k000 a year as big money ever
for a congressman, and the average
voter Is not Inclined to endorse any
Increase over that amount. The senate
was anxious for the house to start
the ball in motion and the house was
anxious for the senate to take the Initiative.
Finally a bright scheme was
hit upon to have the bill originate
with the committee on appropriations
and last Friday the house passed It
by a viva voce vote. That the senate
will also pass the proposition favorably
goes without saying. But seriously,
there is nothing wrong in this increase
of salary. Five thousand dollars
a year is not much for a congressman
who has to live in Washington
the greater part of the year
It is hardly sufficient for living exoenses.
and he certainly cannot maintain
a very large family at the national
capitol on such a sum. The extra
$2,500 proposed is a matter ol
very little consequence to the nationa
revenues, and the congressmen art
committing no fault In voting for 8
raise. But many of them will catcl
It pretty lively all the same at th<
hands of opponents, .many of whorr
would not be worth r.O cents a da>
to their constituents.
Mk. J. E. McDonald's report to the
state dispensary board was made
public for the first time last Friday
it having been given out to the Columbia
Record, which gave It to the
News and Courier. It will be remembered
that shortly after taking charge
of the dispensary, the new board ol
directors found the institution badl\
overstocked. All of the county dispensaries
were full and the supply or
hand In Columbia was sufficient fot
months ahead. There was no need foi
any immediate buying on the part ol
the new board, and the board employed
Mr. McDonald of Winnsboro, tc
investigate the situation and report
whether or not the state was bound
to take all of the liquor that had beer
purchased. Mr. McDonald went lntc
a thorough examination of the entire
matter. In many Instances he was
[ unable to find in the office of the
commissioner orders showing authority
for shipments that had been received
and on writing to the people
who had shipped the liquor they were
unable to make a clear showing. Accordingly
Mr. McDonald advised the
new board that where the whisky
houses were unable to show orders,
there was no question of the right of
i the board to make the shippers take
? the liquor back. Upon the strength
. of this report, liquor to the amount of
. nbout $110,000 was returned. A num>
ber of large dealers claimed that the
. liquor they had shipped had been pur.
chased regularly and they declined to
' lake it back. Their liquor was paid
for. Mr. McDonald advised the new
I board that many of the acts of the old
hoard were In clear violation of the
i law. This report was made last No
vember. At the present time, however,
the dispensary is as badly overstocked
as It was when the old board
. went out. The new board has evidently
been doing the same thing It complained
of in the old board. The new
board 4s now being Investigated.
True Manhood.
The best test of true manhood or
womanhood is loyalty to duty. It is
hard, very hard sometimes for one to
do his duty, and there are many
shirkers: but duty is an Inexorable
master, and invariably metes out adequate
punishment to all shirkers.
The man or woman who has a proper
conception of duty in. all things is
the exception rather than the rule.
There are many who care nothing of
this duty. The man or woman who
always does nis or ner auiy us ue ui
she sees it is also the exception. But
the man or woman whether he or she
understands his or her duty or not,
tries to shirk the same must inevitably
pay the penalty.
Of all human beings, probably, parents
have to submit to the most
searching tests that are ever applied
1 to manhood or womanhood, a familiar
example of which test Is furnished
In the raising of children.
There are few parents, especially in
an enlightened country like this, who
are ignorant of the needs of their children.
They at least know of many of
the things that are not good for their
children. It is a fact that children
are continuously clammoring for that
which is not good for them, and that
which cannot be given them except
to their positive injury'. But how
many loving parents are there who
have the mnnhood or womanhood to
deny to their children all those things
they know should be denied?
t It Is a notorious fact that parents
constantly prove unequal to their duty
In the management of their children
and it is equally notorious that instead
of blaming themselves for their
weakness in this respect they are
rather disposed to try to magnify
that weakness into a virtue. Acts which
' contribute to the Injury of the child's
character, and future manhood and
womanhood are excused on the ground
| that they had their inception in "paternal
love."
And so it Is in governmental af
falra. AH of us have our friends.
There are some people of whom we
think more than we do of others. We
all have our conceptions of right and;
wrong and these conceptions, In the
abstract, are generally right. Where
an acquaintance in whom we have no
' special personal interest goes estray,
we apply our standards of right and
wrong and convict and condemn. If
however, a friend goes estray, and we
apply those same standards, we are
too often disposed to condone, not*
withstanding the fact that we know
that in so doing we wrong the friend,
the community and ourselves. We
must do right for right's sake.
There is corruption in high up governmental
affairs, of course; but not
' nearly so much as in the smaller
governmental affalra Petty officers
J often condone wrong doing because of
! considerations of friendship, personal
consequences, etc. In high up affairs,
5 however, big, broad minds recognize
[ that they cannot condone wrong wlth?
out having to pay a personal penalty,
and for that reason wrong doers, no
| matter how great or powerful, gener.
ally find their finish at last. Weak,
? corrupt men do not last long in high
1 places.
Chartty is the greatest of virtues;
? but the man or woman who esteems
t eharitv to mean the condoning of
' wrong of any kind Is far from a proper
| conception of the word. No man or
woman can condone positive wrong in
others without becoming In a sense a
r party to that wrong.
Manhood means the acting of the
s part of a man at all times and under
all circumstances, being right, not
i from motives of policy, or expediency;
. but being right for right's sake.

Mr. John R. Hart has been engaged
for some days past making an abstract
of titles to lands acquired by
the Southern Power company in connection
with its proposed power plant
at Ninety-Nine Islands, including
the rights of way of the railroad from
King's Creek to the river. Most of
the titles go back to McGill and Manning
early settlers, and many of the
lands have since passed through many
hands. The task of abstraction is a
very tedious one.
The action of Governor Sweltenham
of Jamaica, in declining < the assistance
of Admiral Davis and Evans in
relieving distress and preserving law
and order at Kingston seems to be
overshadowing the interest in the
earthquake calamity and its results.
It appears that the offense of the
American admirals consisted in commencing
their relief operations before
they paid their respects to the governor,
and this offended the dignity of
the Britisher. That is practically all
there is to the Incident and the question
seems to be whether the .dignity
and prestige of the goverh6r of Jamaica
is of more consequence than
tne suffering ano uenvery or me people
he governs.
THE YORK MEMBERS.
The following relating, to the doings
of the York members in the general
assembly is culled from the dally
papers:Dr.
Saye's bill to create a commission
to attend to the erection of a
statue to Calhoun in the national
capitol, and to appropriate $10,000
therefor, passed Its third reading in
the house on Friday and was sent to
the senate.
Mr. Slaughter on Friday Introduced
a bill to amend section 120$,.-of'the
general statutes to fix the time for
holding elections for school bonds.
Senator Brlce on Friday Introduced
a bill to amend section 2 of dn act
entitled:
"An act to provide the age and time
in which road duty shall be performed
in this state, and to provide for and
fix the amount of commutation tax In
lieu thereof," approved 22d of February.
by increasing the commutation
tax to three dollars, requiring the use
of the chain gang on permanent road
work and the employment of an engineer
work by contractors, and combining
the road districts of York
county.
THE SPECIAL SALES.
The nast two weeks have contri
buted to make this the livest January
In commercial circles that Yorkvllle
has known for years, and while it is
not practicable to give anything llVe
exact figures. It is probably not far
from the mark to say that the dry
goods sales have been close to 120,000
in that time.
Ordinarily January is a dull month
and because of the warm weather prevailing
during most of the fall and
practically during the first two weeks
after the first of the month, it was
inclined to be rather duller than usual.
The unfortunate failure of Mr. L.
B. Foushee and the knowledge that
his bankrupt stock would be thrown
on the rparket regardless of values
seemed to further demoralize the situation;
but the local, business men
have met the matter in a satisfactory
manner and have really done much
better than they expected.
The Y. B. & M. company already
had on a special sale, the StraussSmith
company opened with a stock
taking sale, J. Q. Wray Joined In the
procession, the Thomson company
came along with a big cut price sale,
and the sale of the Foushee stock,
while It brought Its part of the crowds
did not seem to interfere particularly
with the arrangements of the other
merchants. Of course. It counted for
something: but a show down of the
figures would probably develop that
while some of the dry goods people
sold more goods than last January
all sold fully as many.
Notwithstanding the flurry, business

and with the seasonable weather that
has now come on at last promises to
continue in keeping with the time of

was unable to make reply.
WITHIN THE TOWN.
? The "King of the Tramps," is to
be at the opera house next Saturday
night. This attraction is described as
a Yankee Doodle comedy, in four big
laughing acts, containing' wit and
harmless mischief that keeps the audience
In a roar.
? The dead body of a negro child
was found burled in the garden of
Mr. Robert Herndon last Friday afternoon.
Investigation by the coroner
gave grounds for the supposition
that the child may have been killed
soon after birth. Responsibility points
to a negro woman named YVitherspoon.
who lived on the premises of
Mr. Herndon and who left for Salisbury,
N. C.. recently. Deputy Sheriff
Qulnn went after the woman yesterday
and is expected to bring- her to

SOUTHERN COTTON ASSOCIATION
Mr. H arvie Jordan Has Been ReElected
as President.
There were about fifteen hundred
delegates at the annual session of the
Southern Cotton association which
met in Birmingham, Ala., last Thursday.
and the meeting is generally considered
to have been entirely satisfactory.
Before the meeting Mr. Harvie Jordan
had given out a statement to the
effect that he would not stand for reelection
as president; but he was persuaded
to reconsider his determination
and was re-elected, practically without
opposition. The elections were as
follows:
Harvie Jordan. Georgia, president:
J. C. Hickey, Henderson. Texas, vice
president: Dr. Will H. Ward, Mississippi,
secretary; F. H, Hyatt, South
Carolina, ' treasurer; E. D. Smith,
South Carolina, general organizer; B.
H. Burnett. Chickahalu, Ark., financial
agent. m
The prevailing sentiments of the
convention were of hostility against
the New York Cotton Exchange and
the necessity for thorough organization
of the farmers of the south.
E. D. Smith made a speech in which
he asked for $10,000 for the expense
fund, and the subscriptions in response
to the speech aggregated $20,000
which was accepted.
Governor Heyward of South Carolina
made a speech affirming the idea
of seeking to control the cotton situation
and Governor Smith of Georgia
made a strong speech along the same
line, especially scoring the New York
Cotton Exchange.

The dinner and the attending exercises
proved a glowing success In every way.
A splendid, substantial, toothsome a

Commander Iredejl Jones . introduced
Col. Asbury Coward, who was guest
of honor and he made a splendid short
talk to his old friends and comrades.
The souvenirs of the occasion were
cards with Gen. Lee's picture on them.
In the afternoon at 4.30 Col. Coward
was the orator at the Winthrop college
chapter celebration. Col. Coward
is an eloquent speaker and on this
occasion he was at his best and held

THE BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR. '
i
Looks Now as if the President Wins <
Out.
There was a stirring about among
the senators on account of the
Brownsville affair yesterday, and it
looks now as if the president has won
out. Senator Blackburn of Kentucky,
seems to be the man who saved the
day. He did it by the introduction of
a short resolution to the effect that
the proposed Investigation did not ,
question the authority of the president
to act as he did in the Browns- ;
ville matter, or the justice of his ac- <
tlon. This put the president's opponents
in a hole. They say that to
vote against the resolution would be 1
to put themselves on record as impeaching
a Republican president and
I that would be to smash the party to
smithereens. They decided to accept
I the amendment and to incorporate it 1
| with their proposition to investigate <
the facts of the whole case. The Republicans
had tried to checkmate
Blackburn by threatening to introduce
a resolution to investigate the
whole race question, including whether
or not there is any violation of the .
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution; but Senator Blackburn
laughed at them.
One of the incidents of yesterday (
whs Senator Tillman's reply to Senator
Spooner's recent criticisms of
himself. I
As a prelude to this he paid his
compliments to the senators who had (
spoken on the Brownsville incident.
He said the press had denominated
him the "burnt cork artist of the sen- i
ate." and he added that if he were
"entitled to this appellation or that of
"Pitchfork Ben" at one end of the min-.
strei line, certainly "Fire Alarm Joe"
(Senator Foraker) ought not to be ignored
at the other. "We both do the
Orlando and Furioso act admirably," '
he said.
Senator Culberson was designated i
as performing a solo on the "bones" \
In praise or tne president; aenuior
Daniel was called the "brilliant and
courtly senator from Virginia," whose
specialty Is oratory and who works
his rhetoric overtime.

is estimated at between $700,000 anc
$800,000. The Chrlstensens, Crofutsanc

own loss. The following dispatch ol

TILLMAN AND CARMACK.
The Senator From Tennessee and the

Carmack of Tennessee has spoken on
the Brownsville matter the greatest
of all the senate orators on the
Democratic side has spoken. Foraker.
several times, has spoken in opposition,
Tillman has spoken and been spoken
to; Spooner has spoken; Bailey is not
here; so the great debate is neaping
the end, Foraker, the "Fire Alarm,"
is described by Carmack as a "bifurcated,
peripatetic, bob-tailed volcano
in perpetual eruption, belching forth
fire and smoke and molten lava from - "
his agonized and tumultuous bowels."
Ana [QUI CAJJICBUlun 10 a iuu
of Carmack.
Car muck la to be succeeded In the ^
senate by Boy Taylor and his fiddle.
Tennessee never made a greater mistake.
There Is not such another man
in the United States as Carmack.
Bailey has a bigger voice, a bigger
manner, a more Imposing look. Spooner
has u bigger reputation. Poraker Is
older In years and hae more grace of
manner, though none of. them have |
more grace of speech. No senator
ever yet has had more grace of speech,
and few, if any, more power of speech
than this Carmack of Tennessee.
Red-headed, rugged in feature, with a
wad of tobacco in his mouth half the {
tima und n. rureless manner, he walks
about the senate as if he was taking
, little Interest In what is going on. Not
often does be speak and he speaks with
an enunciation which makes it difficult
at first to understand him, but
his diction is pure, his sentences flow
us easy as a running brook, and he
makes phrases which Burke himself
' never surpassed. Wednesday waa one
of those great duys in the senate. I
should like to have described it for
the readers of the State, but as it
could not have been done for the issue
' of the day after the occurrence and
the reports published will tell the
|/rlnctpcl happenings, I will simply go
' over some of the most striking of the
things which were said. a
Mrst, I will say that if any one r
likes good literature, if any school
, boy. or any lover of great oratory^?
which reads almost as well as It a
sounds, he can find It in this speech of I
. Carinack's when It comes out in a few
, days in the Congressional Record.
Here is the passage in the speech
1 about Senator Foraker, taken from the
. official stenographers notes. If any
, one has read it once in the newspat
per account already printed it will
easily bear reading again. I have read
r, it several times myself:
"Th? Hftnntnr tells us that Malor
'Blockoom can not be trusted to make
' a fair and honest investigation and
tell the truth because his father, for?
ty years ago. was a Democrat in
, Ohio. It is a divine law that the sins
of the fathers shall be visited upon the
children but I question the right of
> the senator to pronounce the Judg>
inent. He may be the Ood Almighty
, of the Republican party of Ohio but
he does not yet sustain that relation
to the universe. My personal lnter.
course with the senator has shown
I him to be genial, generous and obliging.
but I remember when I had a
- very different impression of him. I
s remember with what frantic energy
r he used to wave the 'bloody shirt, a
shirt stained blood-red with the crimson
current of his own rhetoric. I can
remember when he used to go raging
. over the land, a bifurcated, peripatetic,
f bob-tailed volcano in perpetual eruption,
belching forth Are and smoke and *
molten lava from his agonised and y
; tumultuous bowels. I remember when
. he used to bespatter the south with
the gall of his bitterness until I some
times thought that he wlsned all of
>. the white people there, men, women,
i children and babes at the breast had
I but u single head so that he might ^
smash It with one blow. He la the
r very last man to sit in Judgment upon
I any case of murder where a negro was
I the murderer and a southern white
man the victim. But I will not do
the senator the gross injustice of
Judging him by the words of his own
. mouth. When I am asked by my
. friends in the south If he is really as
fierce and rapid as he sometimes
1 seems to be, I tell them, 'No,' that his
> ferocity Is purely oratorical, that It is
I but the lingering force of the tyranny
<>f hnhlt. which continues to have some
' power long after it has been expelled
> from the heart. We can remember
t when It was nothing short of treason for
a Democratic senator to question the
accuracy of any statement proceeding
from the executive department with
. respect to the conduct of American *
. soldiers. But no charge has ever been
made by any Democrat in the fiercest
r partisan debate equal In. gravity and
i severity to the charge which the sen*
r ator from Ohio has made."
Again he said: "Whence comes this
- new found zeal for law and the con*
i stitutlon? This particular act of the
? president's is simply the occasion, it
Is not the cause." Then he went on
to show that the time has come when
the Republican party leaders felt that
. they must cut loose from Roosevelt
and get back to their old party moorings,
and he declared that the Repub5
lican party must either nominate
1 Roosevelt for president or "give us
. back our platform."
It was when he came to Tillman,
though, that it was especially Interest'
ing to a South Ca roll nan. He took up
i the action of Tillman when governor
of South Carolina In dismissing the
companies of the state militia. He said
t that Tillman's dismissal order was a
- perfect precedent for the president's
t action In this case.
"There is no analogy at all," inter1
Jected Tillman.
"No doubt the governor of South
t Carolina was entirely justified," said (|
Carmack. "He tells me those men
were dudes, and I agree-with him that
r lynching is a proper reward for
> dudes."
t "If you will persist in not seeing
, that there .is no analogy?~ cui in
' Tillman.
"That action now has the suppprt
I and endorsement of the president,"
I -went on Carmack, calmly Ignoring the
sputtering South Carolinian. "The sen'
-j tor should be proud that the president
i is following in his illustrious foot.
steps."
. "I tell you those men sent me word
that they wouldn't obey," cried Tillt
man, red with rage. "Their captain
' wrote me a note about It."
> "Oh." exclaimed Carmack, "and on
1 the strength of what that one man
said you discharged the whole com1
pany. Without trial, without examination,
without investigation, without *
J a man of them all having his day In
court, promptly. immediately you ?
branded them all with dishonor. I
; agree with you that the case is hardly
analogous to this. It was worse." V
"But the president has discharged
167 when at most only 20 were guilty," ^
put In the despairing Tillman.
"Yes. after long patient Investigation.
He has at least done a great
deal more than the governor of South
Carolina did when on the statement
of one man he discharged a whole
comnany."
"If ymi get any consolation out of
that?" began Tillman.
"I don't." retorted Carmack, "it
grieyes me." ? .
' The galleries roared. The vice president
sternlyv" called ' for order, and
Tillman gave it up and sat down.
It was one of the few times anybody
has succeeded In shutting Tillman up.
? News from Spartanburg Is to the
effect that Bishop Duncan's condition
Is now very serious. At one time It
was thought that the bishop might
recover: but there Is no longer any
hope.
