Bj a persistent, high-toned gentlemanly canvass he has made himself knowi and felt by nearly every voter in tin district. We have been in nearly ev ery county in the district and hav yet to find a single man to criticise hif campaign or to speak in any was dis paraging of him. He is looked upon ar being honest, clean and able. As a stump speaker he outclasses his oppo nents. Those who are in a position U know unhesitatingly say that he wP roll up a vote that will ever surpri? him and his most sanguine friends. B B.

I am :ot in favor of putting the dispensary aok into prohibition counties if the Majority of the voters do not wish it. I m in favor of the compulsory educa- ii n law.” M r. H . E. Gyles thinks that the State ! spensary is the bcsl solution of the . hiskey questk n. H believes that the ystem is all right and that the rotten- css is in the men that are put in harge. not in the system. He thinks t at local option by counties is a cor- r ipt system, and he quoted instances rom counties that have tried it in iher States to show its rottenness. Ir Gyles did not express himself on he compulsory education law, but he iclieves that high schools should be at •very county seat in older to give poor oys a better education. Mr B. K. Keenan is in favor of the i ate dispensery and does not believe hat the dispensary is insolvent. He •links that the county would take a tep backward if the county dispensary vere established. Mr. Keenan stated nat he was in favor of the com ulsory •ducation law, and that he had voted >r it when he was in ttie legislature. Mr. J. M. Polatty believes that if the iispensary is properly enforced the do- icnsary is the best solution of the ' : quor question. He does not believe that the members of the investigating jommittee have any proof of corrup tion in the State dispensrry. Mr I’o- lattj does not believe in local option •y counties He did not touch upon he other questions Mr. 4. Otis Salley: “I am in favor • f the State dispensary.

I am in avor of local option by counties in lealing with the liquor question I am lot in favor of putting the dispensary back into the counties that have voted t out.” Mr. J. B. Holman was sick and ciuld not be interviewed •glv F-f894, whe ter of liquor rebitesfirst^jatme up, he denied that any frtiatea had been paid by any liquor dealers, although at a public campaign meeting in Barnwell, soire years ago, when John Gary Evans was a candidate, it was stated from the stand that he (Eva-is) had said that ‘ Ti'lman had lined his pockets with rebates,” and doubtless he knew where of he spoke. Now, in 1906, Hatly con tradicting wiiat he said in 1894. Tiil- inan says that there were rebates, re bates belonging to the State, but he gave them to Hubbell, but Hubbell is dead. It would seem from the facts that he knew’ Evans has the proof on him th it he did get the liquor rebates, which he said in 1894 he had never received, and this proof, like the sword of Hamocles has been hanging over his head, so in order to escape it, he now says that he did get the rebates but gave them to Hubbell, who is dead ; and dead men tell no tales. It is a foxy scheme all through, quite characteristic ol Tillman. But it is the worst hole he has got into yet. Senator Tillman is without opposi tion for reeleetion, but he has defied all precedent in the arrangement of campaign meetings by the State ex ecutive cimmittee, and has made his own campaign arrangements and is making a most bitter denuociatory war for the adjustment of a great moral question which ought to be settled in the most calm and deliberate manner. We believe that the voter will ignore him in the matter and settle it accord ing to the dictates of his own con science.—Kershaw Era. /allaci tes^oPthe new county is tTia pif»« roads along the Savannah rivet section of Aiken county have not beet worked W*ll as to the facts ; we an informed and believe it to be true that a just proportion of money has been spent, and a just proportion of work done there regularly by the count j commissioners.

The whole scheme is only m effort to boom the Jacksonian inter ests, and how the people in the other part of the contemplated new county can allow tin ms-Ives to be deceived into thinking the scheme for their in terests passes our comprehension. The secret is out. Col. James T. Bacon of the Edgefield Chronicle is the editor who received one of the Chicco fans. But the Colonel says he called on Chicco at his place on market street and found him absent and a clerk gme him the fan. Of course none of these fans were distributed at the press meeting, and we are surprised th: t a man of Senator Tillman's sense should make such a foolish statement. We are not surprised at any of Till man’s falsehoods. In his statements he has no regard for truth.—Ed.

There are many thousands of peoplfi'in South Carolina who rec/ill that at Unk»n in August, 1894, threes months before my second term as governor exjrired, Gen M. C. Butler made specific ahd direct charges about the rebates, and gave ihe amounts that he said had gone into my pockets' - br had disappeared, and the whole thing was threshed out in that campaign. The people gave their verdict in such an emphatic way that I got more than five votes to But ler’s one in the legislature that winter.” The Senator forgets that a popular vote is not necessary proof of integrity. Let us see what lie said about the re bates in the 1894 campaign. We quote a summary of Gen. Butler’s allegation, which includes Gov. Tillman’s answer: “I have a’ready during this cam paign referred to the management of the dispensary and asked Governor Tillman what had become of the 7 cents a gallon rebate the State \va» entitled to on his liquor purchases. In reply he stated that he did not get this re bate because he did not confide his purchases to the trust.” Gen. Butler then, by Commissioner Traxler’s report, showed that from July 1, 1893 to January 1, 1894, Tillman had bought $85.(XX) worth of whiskey from the Mill Creek Distillerj' Co., member of the whiskey trust, and that the rebates due thereon, including 2 percent discount, foi cash, amounted to $8,423. These were the rebates-d ue from a single purchase. South Caro lina did not get a cent. In other words, the proof of hnr*in- noeence to which Tillman cites the public, is contained in his declarations in the Tillman Butler campaign of 1894, and in that campaign Tillman as serted he had purchase' 1 the liquor with the rebates “off,” and that there was nothing due the State from that source But the investigating committee made discoveries proving this contention to be false, and when Tillman was on the stand February 13, he admitted, in answer to the direct question, that there had been rebates but said he had given them away. We quote from tlie published testimony, when Tillman was under examination : Question: “I understand you. with reference to your arrangementT'be- tween Hubbell and yourself, that there was a reference to a rebate of 7bj cents on the price? Answer: Seven and a half ceirts a gallon. n. Question: And yon told Hubbell he could have it? t Answer: I said, you take it because you are crediting the State and Mlon’t want to bother with it.” FOR CONGRESS.

Fellow citizens : Since this is the year to elect a Congressman to represent the people, I hereby announce my can didacy for Congress from this, the Sec ond Congressional district of South Carolina and most respectfully urge the voters to examine my record as a public servant, for not merely a few months, but f“r my entire service of six years as a member of the House of Hepresentatives of South Carolina. Truly unfortunate that the Federal laws encourage contests in the South ; that so many of our representatives are molested, certainly a provision for an allowance of about two thousand dol lars to the contestant, and also to the one whose place is contested for, should be modified or repealed, and forever put an end to the practice By reason of a laudable ambition— that of my promotion—coiqded with the desire to serve the Second District as I have my home county (promising to contend as earnestly and vigorously as in the past for such measures as would be conducive to the best interest of our great country,) I seek the suf frage of my fellow-countrymen. I pledge myself to abide by the rules and regulationsof the Democratic party and to obey the new election laws (see Vets of the General Assembly 1905 on the subject) governing primary elec tions.

His Prospects are Bright. Congressman J. <). Patterson was in Vugusta last week and was interviewed iy a Herald reporter. Mr Patterson 1.1s been the subject of much public nlk and symp: tby owing to the em barrassing position in which he was daeed some time ago when his seat vas contested in Congress by a Barn- veil county negro. When asked about he matter, Mr Patterson said it was 1 deplorable occurrence, but it was true, nd that it served to illustrate the m-judice of Northern Republicans against the South in favor of the negro. Mr. Patterson said that his hands were practically tied by the committee, which unnecessarily required five •mnths to try the case. He said that the committee realized that the evi dence submitted would not warrant j hem in declaring the negro elected,! but t hat many ot them desired to de clare the seat vacant Mr. Patterson stated that many of his ignorant ene mies had accused him of idleness. Re tarding this matter, he said that all the work done in Congress is not ex ecuted on the floor, and, besides, it was igainst an unwritten law for a new congressman to at once seek recogni tion on the floor of the House of Rep resentatives. In reference to the prob ability of his re-election, Mr. Patter- There it is!

He has point edly refused to name the number of thousands of dollars that were thus improperly taken from the people.

That was improper and if op- he interests of South Carolina had bfeen safeguarded in the Tillman bill it \v<(uld have been illegal. But Tillman’s Ibi gave him unlimited power; he di<f a? he pleased. Had a bonded official giker. away tens of thousands of dollars, T tli>. rightful property of South Carolina, the bondsmen would have been liable. When Tillman diverted that money from the treasury to the pockets of Hubbell, the graft in the dispensary system began. There is no getting around that.” Does that paragraph give evidence of our opinion that Tillman’s plea “reasonable and satisfactory?” The fact is that Senator Tillman is in a very deep hole. The issue canjiot be do !ged. The people believed him in 1894 when he assured them there had been no rebates ; that no rebates were due the State, consequently none had to be accounted for. In 1905, ihe admits under examination, in answer to leading questions, that there were rebates and that he gave them away In the mean time the other individual personally interested dies.
