PEOPLE OF CHESTER
SPOKE AT RICHBURG TO COUN
TY FARMERS' UNION.
Address Lacked None of the Former
Vigor Whi:h Has Characterized
Former Utterances.
S.u~nbia. State.
(ichburg. Aug. 17.-Did some one
.av Senator Ben Tillman is an in
valid and has lost his power of in
ve-e:ive
The Senator Tillman who address
ed some 3,000 people assembled from
every part of Chester county. and
frM over the State, at the Chester
Contv Fkiner un ion rally and pie
Mie today saw a man in rugged health
wIth power of invective unimpaired,
and wielding his pitchfork with all
the rig- that has made him unique
'n ublie life.
His jabs were directed at the press
of :he State in general and The State
in particular; at the railroads; at the
State senate and at the present cam
paign for compulsory oducation. He
also handled the negro question at
considerable length.
This was the first public address
made by Senator Tillman in Sc. 'h
Carolina in the past year. He mill
make a number of speeches during
this and next week in South Carolina
and promises to "rub it in" on the
interests that have incurred his antag
omasm.
The speech at +his place was made
in response to an invitation from the
- Chester County Farmers' union. He
was introduced by Senator P. L. Har
din of Chester county.
In opening, Senator Tillman said
he could not brag of being a farmer,
bur that he has a little farm on which
he has a better crop than any he has
seen. He acknowledged that he him
self is not much of a farmer; in fact
that his farming is usually consid
ered something of a joke. He alluded
to his long absence from home, and
said his return from time to time
r;as to get some clean clothes. Sub
stantially he said:
."I have been among the Northern
Yankees, hammering into them a bet
ter understanding of the negro ques
tion. With the Yankees of the North
the negro problem is a theory; with
us of the South it is a condition.
"I am not yet a member of the
Farmers' union. I was a member of
:the Grange and of the Alliance, and I'
will give the Farmers' union a chance
.to reject me.
"I am not going to make a pre
pared speech. I don't cook up my
speeches before I come to meet my
.people. I will say something about
the matter of mileage system the rail
.roads, with t'he connivance of your
venal legislature, have imposed upon
"~There is no reason why when the
railroads in South Carolina sell a
mileage book for 1,000 miles at 2
cents a mile they should require you
:to take your mileage book to the tick
~et agent and buy a ticket to where
you are going. In the State of Penn
sylvania the mileage in a book is
- good on the train for any distance
within the 1,000 miles, and can be
used to pay the fare of yourself and
famigy 'and anybody' else, as long
as the mileage lasts. The railroad
company gets your money. You get
-the mileage and use it to pay your
*fare.
"In South Carolina they make you
*-o :o the ticket agent and exchange
your mileage for a ticket, often caus
ing delay.
"This morning when my wife and
I went to take the train at Belton
the connection was short. and I hur
ried to the ticket office to get my
mileage excehangeg1. Before I could
*get my wife's ticket .through the red
tape proceedings the train started and
1 had to grab up my books and we
ran to catch the train before it left
nus there.
" When the conductor came around
he said I must pay my fare. I told
him I would be put off the train be
fore I would submit to being made to
pay the fare over again, and I ten
aered the- mileage I bought and paid
for.
"My friends, we must be given the
same rates on the railroads that the
Yankees have. You can get your
rights if you contend for them. As
*ong as you keep rascals in your leg
islature and let them do as they please
yon will continue to get the worst of
~t. I can not watch the rascals in
Washington and the rascals in Colum
bia both.
"When this mileage measure was
pending in your legislature, it was
voted down by the house; but the
senate was in the pay of the rail
roads and the measure was forced
through. It's up to you to do some
watching. I am going to tell the peo
ple of this State about this mileage
business in some speeches this week
and next."
Senator Tillman warned the Farm
ganizaLivi to develop a political
party. The Alliance was a non-po
litical organization, but somehow it
developed the organization of .the
Populist party. The Democrats of
the South must not divide their
strength. The danger lies in negro
domination. You may feel a sense
of disgust for the waY you have al
lowed the politicians to treat you and
feel that you must look after Betsy
and the baby, but we are not out of
the woods on the negro question. As
long as the 14th and 1-5th amendments'
are a part of the constitution we have
No guarantee of white supremaey.
The people of the North use the ne
gro to subserve their own political
ends. President Taft has been in the
Souti and is coming again to spread
all Lhe molasses he can. "I warn
you, Mr. Taft's purpose is to bring
the negro back into power, and is go
ing to do it if he can. The interests
of the mill owners and industrial cap
italists of the South are such as to
coincide with the interests of North
ern Republicans, and they work hand
in glove together.
"Some people say I am a crank.
The young bucks who wore knee
breeches when I was younger, and
who run papers now, are the ones
who criticise me.''
The senator extolled the purity and
virtues of the women of South Caro
lina in speaking of the marriage laws.
He believed in laws that provided
that When a man and woman get
hitched they should stay hitched.
"We have a good system of govern
ment, but it needs watching. All gov
ernments need to be watched. If you
do not wat.ch the scamps will run
away with things.
"I left Washington-yes. I did not
see the use of staying in Washington
to look at Aldrich and Payne and that
gang shaping things up to rob the
people while we had no representa
tion to make effective defense."
The senator asserted the necessity
for white rule. The situation re
solves itself thus: Democratic: white;
Republican: Negro. There is the
whole thing in a nutshell.
He criticised the attitude of the
State press towards the administra
4'n of Cle nson college. He ide
scribed the method of administration
of Clemson as complex and a machine
more difficult to run than the State
government. Admitting defects that
have existed there, he said the trus
tees are now looking for a man to
take Dr. Mell's place. He deplored
that the life trnstees and State ap
pointed trustees must always be at
cross purposes. He believes it wise
to make no radical changes in method
of administration. In any event, what
ever ehanges may be made, by the iwill
the property remains that of the life
trustees. As lonug as he lives he is

Senator Tillman extolled the pres
ent common school system that has
resulted in producing great changes
for the State's welfare, but he de
elared that the campaign for compul
sory education would result, if sue
cessful, in educating the negro so
he could qualify for franchise regis
tration. and that means negro domina
tion.
"I serve notice oin those pam)ers
that are fixing to kick me out of the
senate that you will have sonething
to say about it. Look out for those
who have some axe to grind."
The foregoing does not pretend to
be a verbatim quotation from Senator
Tillman's talk, but only a synopsis
The speaker 's unique mode of saying
things is well known to most South
Carolinians.
Senator Tillman seems to feel re
sentful for the criticism of the South
Carolina press relating to his ab
sence from the senate on a lecture
tour at the time every Democrat's
presence seemed most required.
He is "sore on'' the papers for
their treatment of the Clemson college
situation; and for their criticism of
his attitude on the tariff question
with relation to his proposed pro
tective duty on tea. The feeling is
especially directed against the State.
He announced on the platform that
these papers come in for a drubbing
at his hands in the speeches he is to
make over the State.
On the train from Richburg to
Chester was a party including Prof.
W. S. Morrison of the Clemson fac
ulty, President J. G. L. White of the
Farmers' union of Chester county,
Editor Erwin of the Chester Reporter
and the reporter of The State and
Senator Tillman. In the course of the
conversation Senator Tillman declar
ed it to be'his purpose to expose the
weakness of the State newspapers
criticising him. Especially is his ani
mosity directed to The State and The
News and Courier. He made the as
sertion that The State and News and
Courier are suborned, and said that
"when The State takes snuff, all the
country newspapers in South Caro
lina sneeze."
Senator Tillman's speaking dates
for the remainder of this week and
next week follow:

auspicies of the Woodmen of the
