It is a creditable publi cation. It is published by McOhee & Davis in Columbia, and should be liberally supported by the teachers throughout the State. The proposed amendment to the Constitution in which the general public is really most interested is that for tho popular election of United States Senators. The unanimous passage in the House of Representa tives a few weeks ago of a resolution looking toward its adoption has re vived the general discussion of the projeot. _ Thoa. J. Adams, who for tho past twenty-eight years has owned, pub lisbed and edited theEdgcfield Adver tiser, has withdrawn from journalism. Mr. Adams has given the whole plant to his daughter, Mrs. Florenco Adams Minis, and the paper is now edited by her husband, J. L. Minis. We wish the Advertiser continued prosperity under its new management. A committee of Charleston's citi zens went to Washington last week, and President Roosevelt assured them that he had no idea of abandoning his trip to the Exposition. This com mittee went for the purpose of insist ing on his coming, as it was rumored that he would not visit South Caro lina just now on aooount of Jim Till man's telegram to him. The exact date of the President's visit will be announced in a few days. Charlea Broadway Rouss, the mil lionaire merchant of New York, died at his home in that city on Monday 3rd inst. He was born in Maryland, but was doing business in Virginia at the outbreak of the war. He enter ed the Confederate army, and made a fine reoord as a soldier. He went to New York in 1865 with not a cent in his pocket, and by industry and perse verance built up one of the largest wholesale houses in this country. He was a liberal contributor to all public oharities and especially to the Confed erate veterans. Ile built a monument in New York at his own expense to Confederate soldiers, gave $100,000 for a Confederate monument at Rich mond, Va., and will give $100,000 for a memorial hall to the old soldiers as soon as a like amount is raised. His death will not effect this last gift, and it will bo given as soon as the condi ditions have been complied with. During the past quarter of a cen tury vast sums ot money have been expended for the advancement of edu caron in the United States. Some of that money has done good and some of it has been worse than wasted. There has been a woful lack of sys tem and method, and a great deal of the money has been expended in a way that oould not possibly yield sat isfactory returns. Tho wealthy phil anthropists of the north have at last turned their attention to systematic work in the educational field. John D. Rockefeller and others are behind the movement to organize, the educa tional work of the United States, es pecially in thc south, on a larger scale than ever yet attempted. Back of this movement is the southern edu cational conference, of which Mr. Robert C. Ogden is the the leading member. Several miJlion dollars will bo put into tho general, fund and it willVbeyOarefully and judiciously ex ponded by those who understand the bera way? ?ti which to use it. Tho educational donatations of the future are not to be squandered nor arc they to bc directed aimlessly. Every dol lar given for the advancement of cdu oatioa will have a definite ohanncl into which it will go, and will bc directed and handled by men of thorough experience in all thc diff?r ent lines of educational wurk. Turn on the X Ray. Editor Intelligencer: All the theories advanced in favor of and upholding the .Senior Senator from South Caro lina, will crumble and vanish when pined under the X liny. Tho assertion ol* the editor of the Daily Mail in a recent article, that "Senator Tillman did not make such a charge against him, (meaning Senator McLaurin) though he expressed a bc lief founded upon circumstantial evi dence, but that belief is shared in and has beni expressed hy thousands of Democrats in this State because they have seen him at tho Republican pie counter and acting as tho almoner of Republican bounty, and they see no other Democratic Senator from the South doing that,''isas unfounded ns all other flimsy arguments used in shielding the Senior Senator. Here is the language used, as furnished by the Associated Tress, where Senator Till man said in reply to Senator Spooner. "You know,*' he shouted, shaking his finger at the Republican side, "how the votes necessary were secured." "How were they secured?'' demand ed Mr. Spooner. "1 know, if tho Senator doesnot,"rc plied Mr. Tillman. "I have received information in con fidence from that side of the chamber. I know from that that improper influ ences were used in getting those votes." "Name tho man," insisted Mr. Spoon er, "upon whom these influences were brought to hear. It is duo the Senator and duo the country that ho name him. A man who impeaches another in con fidence is a coward. If the Senator knovnoT nny man who has been im properly influenced he should name him." ls this not plain enough to any one who can road and understands tho English language? Mark these words. Mr. Editor, of the Senior Senntor "I know," &c.-. Hy what right does the editor of the Daily Mail assert that Senator Tillman did not make any such charge." If n man makes a charge in such positive terms as "I know." then ho should prove what he knows, or olso admit that ho did not know. If he knew, why did ho not prove it when it wns demanded of him? It is therefore very evident that ho did not know then, does not know at present; and that anger, malice, jealousy and tho ?lispoBition to "rule or ruin" predomi nates in his ambition to announce him self "Czar of Tillmnnia." If a physician is called to the bedside of a person in a dying condition, and the physician believes that a few more hours or days of hope may help tho pa tient, although at heart the physician knows that there is no hope whatever, he is justified in telling such a patient and tho?? around him that his case is not a ?er iou s one; this could not justly be called a lie; but when the physician arrives at the bedside of a person dead, and he knowingly or wilfully tells that the dead person is alive, that would be called a lie. Why raise such a howl about the Junior Senator when the Senior Senator has been affiliating with Populists, free silver Republicans, middle-of-the-road and all other fac tions for the sake of manipulating South Carolina's vote on lb to 1 in his vest pocket? Does the editor of the Daily Mail remember the Senior Sena* tor's first trip to St. Louis sometime in 1803 to find out where he was "At," and how three years later he boasted openly that he carried South Carolina's vote in his vest pocket? Does he re member how in the last campaign in this State the Senior Senator openly insulted all the ministers of the Gospel for the sake of defeating the anti-dis pensary sentiment? Yet this Ben Gall Tiger is to be worshipped and praised for all these slanders, abuses, and most unfounded charges he sees fit to inflict on all who cut themselves loose from his coat-tail. Honor to whom honov may be due is a beautiful as well as a just maxim, but it would bo unjust to bestow it on one who in a representa tive capacity misrepresents tho well thinking, fair-minded, conservative element of this State. One might un dertake to defend his nephew "Jim" with some grace on account of it being his first offense, but his uncle "Ben" hns a world-wide reputation as a slan derer, better known ns the associate of Mary E. Lease, Pitchfork, Miscarry Nation & Co., and cannot be excused. Now, ns to the other sentence of the same article in tho Daily Mail wherein the editor states : "He is perfectly safe (speaking of McLaurin) in demanding an investigation, for no direct proof of bribery cnn be brought. If ho made a deal the man with whom he made it is dead, hut he hns Republican 'rocks' in his possession all the same." This is also one of the many vile in sinuations, slanders and unjust charges freely made use of by the Apostles of Tillman when his and their infamy is exposed, or rather when they have not the manhood to admit, that ho or they are wrong. Shame upon our civiliza tion, that a citizen can with impunity slander the dead when he knows that the dead cannot defend himself. It is not because Wm. McKinley was President of the United States that the offense of unscrupulous slander is grnver than if it had been the humblest citizen of this country, but because the editor of tho Daily Mail knows that Wm. McKinley cannot answor his charges, even if they were true, that he is making them all for the sake of shielding his "Master." It is not only unbecoming for any man to shift the blame or responsibility to the. grave, but irreligious, immoral and cowardly. lt" our city fathers would do the right and proper thing, they would bend a respectable delegation to Charleston at thc expense of thc city, for tho purpose of expressing tho hame sentiment in person to the President of the United .States ns was sent to the White ilouee from Gaffney, S. C., saying: "We must emphatically repudiato Lieut. Gov. Tillman's message as not voicing the sentiment of South Carolina's citi zens." Such a delegation from each town and city from this I-'ato would bo grat ifying to tho extent that our Chief Executive could return more convinced than ever that wc have been most shamefully misrepresented and that we are not "Tigers," nt least all of us not blind.
