TILLMAX ATTACKS BLEASE; GOV. BLEASE MAKES KEPLl , 4 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6.) neutrality of his attitude. The campaign meetings for governor and for the United States senate have closed?one at Greenville on Tuesday, the other at Aiken on yesterday. Senator Tillman has waited for : ' the close of these campaign meetings; 4 he wires his letter, last night, to be I published in this morning's papers. I * ^am off the stump; it is doubtful "whether I can make any speeches before the election; I am afflicted with a severe cold and can scarcely talk above a whisper without much ?T 1? ~ ?r\nrtrhini'tv tr? TPaoh pain, i uavc uw uff"' ?>.? v?, . >, the people; have no daily newspapers to express my views and tiie few papers which are for me are weeklies and will not be published again until after the election. Let every man read the letters which Senator Tillman has given out, and which have [been made public at the campaign meetings and in the public press during the campaign, and then let them read this letter which j he withholds until the campaign has closed. I leave it to the people of this State to judge Senator Tillman's conduct. I leave it to the plain common people of this State who have voted for and elevated him into office, who have voted for and elevated me into * office?to ray whether he has treated them and has treated me with fairness and candor. |k|^ \ * Thinks It Kelps. From the telegrams and long distance phone messages I have received this morning (which I wish I had room to insert every one of them in this article) I have been strengthened and not hurt in my fight for popular government, and against the newspapers, the cotton mill mergers and oth er corporations. From these, it is evident that in the minds of a justice< loving public an eleventh-hour attack will find no justification. It has been condemned by Tillman himself; it will be condemned by the people of South Carolina on Tuesday next, who 4 must remember that 'Junius Brutus gave the eleventh stab to Caesar who had been his friend. Such stabs have been condemned by all men who were men, for 20 centuries, and I fear no 1 evil from Senator Tillman's letter, ex cept that possibly his mind has become more diseased of late than it was when I had my last talk with his confidential physician. Cole L. Blease. B. R. TILLMAN REPLIES TO GOVERNOR'S REPLY Trenton, Aug: 25.?Senator Tillman, after reading Gov. Blease's statement appearing in yesterday morning's papers, gave out the following statement here: "Gov. Blease would have the people I % of the State believe that' I have acted ^ -unfairly and deceived him. I want to say this: At the meeting in Orange. .. burg the subject of the governor's race was not mentioned because there was then no opposition to him so far as any candidate's name being announced. The picnic in Orangeburg was in July and Judge Jones did not announce himself until in August. I did ask, the governor some questions at Oraneeburs: about his D^rdon rec ord, and I confess,I wanted to give ^ him an opportunity to explain things |^for which he was being criticized. At that time my attitude was that of a friend. "When Gov. Blease came to Washington I invited him "to my hotel, because, as governor of the State, 1 wanted to show him courtesy, and having always been on friendly terms, -u , ~ ? 4-"U ^ i iuougM[ it*xiui.uiu5 UIUIC tiiau m? BL due. But if anything was said about the governor's race or about his running against or opposing me for the senate, I do not remember it. Mrs. * * Tillman, who was present all the time 'during the call, has the same recollection as mine as to what occurred. "I have waited patiently while this campaign has progressed, hoping that the governor would clear up some . \ things which are very suspicious, but ;.sT , _ _ ^ jr. He has not said anyming aoout stotnr' art or Nicholls selling pardons and i ' dividing with Blease. I made up my mind that I could not stand for "any ^nan who was so careless about the State's good name and the justifiable ^ suspicions be had aroused, ji "I have no reason to love Judge Jones because he changed the law by ,V the decision for the custody of mv i >. ! grandchildren, which had stood for 150 years. My son has written me -from Oregon, hoping that he might ^some time be able to tell Judge Jones what he thought about him and his k decision. My wife, who everyone knows Has more influence over me t* than any on? else in the worM. has been a strong Blease sympathizer and L protested to the last against my glv jing out anything more. I "So the people can understand .what ! real foundation there is in Governor I Blease's accusations about my holding the statement back until it was :oo late for him to answer. I have never I 1 ! fought anybody secretly and always have been open and above board. 1 never wrote to any one until they first wrote to me and demanded that I should say as much for Blease as I had said for Jones. The people can see from this statement how much justification there is for Gov. Blease's implied cftarge tnat I nave ireaieu him unfairly." TILLMAN LEAYES FOR HOME. Says Many Congratulated Him on Stand in Gubernatorial Race Washington, August 24. ?Special: Senator Tillman left Washington this evening for his home. When seen before his departure he said: "I have received numerous tele| grams to-day from all classes and i types ar former Tillmanites, antis, j Haskellites, Jonesites and Bleaseites, i oil nnnarotiilaHno- mi TT?V Stfl.tpmeilt. j axi wugiuvuiuvtug IAIV viA i given the press last night. I knew be| fore I issued the statement that many | of my old friends would be sore, but .'after they think it over and understand fully what I have done they will stand by me and for the best interests of the people of South Carolina. "The telegram that has given me most satisfaction was from my son Henry C. Tillman, of Greenwood, which is as follows: 'Don't know what 1 aftor will havfl nn ; ciicv;t ^ ci^uouu ltwvi ^ w** , you, but would rather see you defeated right than elected wrong." A TREMENDOUS MAJORITY. Slaton Gets Biggest Primary Tot? in History of Georgia. < Atlanta, Ga, August 22.?Returns 'today from aLmost every county in ? jthe State indicate that John M. Slaton was nominated fcr Governor in yester; day's Democratic State primary by the largest majority in the history of Georgia. It is possible that his popular vote will be near 100,000 out of | about 1?0,000 cast. * V ' Contrary to early reports, late returns this afternoon showed that Representative Charles L. Bartlett had been, reelected from the sixth Congressional district by a plurality of 92, four counties, Crawford, Jasper, Jones and Bibb with a majority of units, being credited to hiip. J. W. Wise, one of his opponents, carried , the remaining counties in the district,! while John Cooper carried none. T?ofnrric r>s?nvnccfirl nn to tn-ii<yht lpff- ! iVVWU* V*J^ vw W " *0 .?fcV the race for the office of State commissioner of agriculture still in doubt I and it is possible that official returns may be necessary to determine the winner. James D. Price was leading, according to today's returns, with J. J. Brown and A. 0. Blalock following in order. Owing to the length of the ballot, it is probable that complete unofficial returns will not be available until tomorrow. Official returns received tonight show that Col. Randall aWlker has received the congressional nomination in the 11th district, defeating Judge T. 'Parker, of Waycross. Although early feturns indicated the defeat of Nash R. Broyfes for judge of the State court of appeals, ! official returns show that he has dej feated Judge J. R. Pottle, of Early, I by a large majority. ' Advertising the Resources of the South in the West The agricultural and immigration* i department of the Atlantic Coast Line is getting up an exhibit of farm pro! ducts, vegetables and fruits, and will i take this exhibit to the West the latter | part of this .month, to be shown at various Western State fairs, with a viev?' of showing the resources of the ter| ritory through whfch this* line op| erates. They have had one of their new : steel-framed express cars overhauled and painted up in a suitable manner for the purpose of transporting the ! exhibit. I They have also advertised in the farm papers of the West, and in the local papers at the points where the exhibits will be made, and it is expected that their exhibit will attract -? * - * -a* J | a great aeai 01 aueuuuu, auu suuuiu ; be the means of bringing a great many | settlers to the "Nation's Garden Spot." Messrs. Wilbur McCoy, agricultural : and immigration agent, Jacksonville, | Fla., and E. N. Clark, agricultural and j immigration agent, Wilmington, N. C., I will be in charge of this exhibit. They | will distribute illustrated literature | giving information about the South, 'and will, no doubt, be called upon to . answer numerous questions. / : The success of their undertaking .V - - _ will depend, to a certain extent, upon the co-operation they receive from the farmers along their line. In order' to get the best results from this public spirited work of the Atlantic Coast Line, it will be necessary for our farmers who have suitable products for this exhibit, such as native forage, corn, small grain, good samples of a ^ Tmnrnfo HI Or- nil t 11 n ir> fla<5S I LI IIILS yuw wiu to communicate at once with E.

Moved the Sea to a City. London Answer. Thoueh it is 18 years since the Man Chester ship canal was inaugurated, few people beyond the radius of Lancashire realize the importance of this great inland waterway, that carries ocean-going ships into the heart of one of our'largest cities. The ship canal is a trifle more than thirty-five miles in length, and has a depth of twenty-six feet, whilst it is 300 feet in width, or as wide as the Suez. In places the canal is,sixty feet above sea level, and it cost considerably more than $75,000,000 to build. In cities like Bristol, Ipswich or j ? ? ? +V? ATT n rA Kv 1 unatnam, appi'oacueu <xs i.ucj ai uj tidal waterways, one expects to find ships, but hardly in a city more than forty miles from the open sea. The biggest canal in existence is that connecting Pekin and Canton in China, 1,000 miles in length. The Suez canal is ninety-nine miles long, the Caledonian sixty miles, and in Great Britain and Ireland the inland waterways total no fewer than 3,907 miles, more than 3,000 of which are in Eng. land. 4 Asthma!
