Ir Gyles did not express himself on

Mr B. K. Keenan is in favor of the

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.

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

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.”

the Second Congressional District of
South Carolina. In doing so. I ask
that my constituents examine into my
record of only a few months as their
Representative. I have been and am
now embarrassed by reason of the con
test for my seat which seriously affects
my influence and my efforts in Dehalf

future, than I have done in the past.
I make this announcement subject to

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. Respectfully,
G. L. Toole. Aiken, S. C.

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! In 1694 when IIulJYndl
was alive, Tillman declared that no re
bates had come to him: that none
were due the Sta'e by the liquor houses
from whom he bought liquor. In 1906.
w’hen Hubbell is dead, Tillman admit
ted there were rebates; that \hey
were due the State, and that he pre
sented them to Hubbell. He has point
edly refused to name the number of
thousands of dollars that were thus
improperly taken from the people. He
knows that giving the amount tv&trld
shock the public, even if it is beUved
all w’ent into Hubbell’s pockets—and
mained there. Continuing on '^he
subject of the rebates, Tillman says

One must travel this State, and espe
cially the rural districts, to be able to
appreciate the dense ignorance abroad
in the land. Our ignorance as a State
is a question far more important than
is the dispensary or any other subject
before the people. Learn the people to
think for themselves and read for them
selves ; then shall we be able to intelli
gently settle the perplexing questions
now before the peo, le, and not until
then.

A breath can make them as a breath
hath made.
