TILLMAN TALKS OF FUTURE POLITICS \ Senator Has Choice of Three Important Chairmanships?Seems to Want Appropriations. I Charleston, Nov. 22.?Genuine optimism and an utter absence of bragadocio or undue confidence characterized the utterances of Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman last night in k an interview regarding the future of the country under Democratic administration of governmental affairs and of South Carolina's snare in uie gooa things accruing therefrom. Senator Tillman, while in the city, is the guest of Henry P. Williams, No. 31 East Bat- ' tery. Last night he attended the ban- j quet at the Charleston hotel in honor I of Admiral Osterhaus and yesterday afternooi^he paid a formal call upon Admiral Osterhaus aboard the battle- | ship Utah. On his vi6it to Charleston he is accompanied by Mrs. Tillman, to whom he affectionately refers as the senior member of the Tillman firm. "I am not bragging about what I am going to do," said Senator Tillman. "'I have the choice of the chairmanship of three committees of the senate? three important ones, the appropriations, the naval affairs and the inter- j state commerce committees." Asked which he would accept, the senator declared that he would "wait 4 until he reached Washington upon the convening of congress, "'But as you see it now, senator, to t which committee are you most inclined?" wa? asked. f ~ r ''I do not want to burden myself," I was the reply; "I do not want to un-i F dertake what I can not do justice to, and for some reasons I am inclined to j the naval affairs committee, but the appropriations committee carries with, it so much more of influence and prestige that just now I am rather inclined to it. But, of course, remember ! that I retain membership on all three * of the committees no matter whicb I am chairman of. It, alter 1 investigate the situation, I believe that I can do the work, I will take the appropriations committee; otherwise, I will take the naval affairs committee." to the development of Charles- j ton yard," said Senator Tillman, "and for its enlargement, that all de. pends upon the attitude -of the new secr?f tha t*?w and the general doI- i # . w _ , icy adopted by the Wilson administra- | -? tion. Meyer, you know, was rather j inimical toward this yard. I have com- j bated that attitude and I think success^ | fully. If the Wilson administration s favors a policy of development the navy yard and the naval Equipment I will want the Charleston yard to be developed in proportion to all others,' as it is the only Southern yard left, and as it is the nearest to Panama." Wilson's Silence Wise. In regard to the cabinet appointments to be made by Woodrow WilLson, who will soon assume the reins of the national government, Senatorj J." . ' Tillman thinks that the presidentelect has been eminently wise in refraining from any statements pertain* ing thereto. "Wilson is wise in not making the. newspapers his spokesmen in the matter of cabinet appointments," said he. "He would be running way ahead of his hound in* shooting off his mouth prematurely. All the time now between the convening of congress until his inauguration Wilson will have op? ? * * ? *TT-i + Vi +V>q 1 ooHin <y I """" ?JWl~ Ltd Lilly LU >? iiu mC i^cvvwij. w, i Democrats of the country and to make | judicious selections." "How about the appointment of Southern men?" was a question propounded. "Wilson ought not to appoint an undue number of Southern men," said the senator, "but the Soutn lias been out in - the cold so long, I hope the return of a j * Southern man to the presidency after j sixty years will be signalized by a re turn to the antebellum policy inaugurated by the Democrats coming, j and | W unless Southern men have lost that; characteristic of honor and honesty, wm Wilson can not make a mistake if he > picks Southern men for any office in ! W his gift, for the South has, as under j Jefferson, an opportunity of having aj * government run as economically as i possible, but not so as to impair its efficiency. The South is entitled to its share of appointments and other good ? things and has as good men as there are in the nation." 1 Replying to a question as *to his es- i timate of President-elect Wilson, j Senator Tillman said that he re- [ garded him as a man of judicial mind I and a thoughtful man; that as to the future, with Wilson as president, he had a great deal of hope and confi dence, although possibly a little more \ of the former. As to State Politics. ? * "What about State politics," was asked. Q:n"ck ns a flash came back the significant r^nly: "The least said the sooiier mended; what we need is de-l cencv and conservatism in State government as well as in national gov- ' eminent." . NEGRO LYNCHED IN THIS COUNTY ON FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1). possum hunting with some gentlemen the night before. What additional evidence had been secured against Thorn as, or how strongly the circumstances pointed to him as the guilty party, is not known definitely. One of the rumors is that Thomas was heard to say on the morning of the day that Johnson was killed that he intended to kill Johnson that night and then go home and kill his own wife. Will Goggans, a negro living near, the house in which Johnson was killed, was arrested a short time ago and -il-J *"? /->VioriyoH with thp j coriimuLeu iu j<m , I murder. He was also arrested on a j ! warrant issued by Magistrate Dorroh. Magistrate Dorroh was in Newberry j | on Friday morning and telephoned | from here to his constable, Mr. Johnson, to get Thomas and bring him to jail. ~ i Sheriff Buford wired governor j Blease on Saturday morning as soon as lie learned of the lynching, and up- i on his i sturn to Newberry on Saturday | afternoon he forwarded the governor a full report of the facts, so far as he could learn them. ? ~ ? * ? 9 j r*>1_ _ ^ ? Tlie Evidence Agmasi muiuu^ | Magistrate William Dorroh and Constable Cary G. Johnson, who were in Newberry on Monday said that strong evidence had been secured against Will Thomas, the negro who was lynched. The case was proceeding along the theory that both Thomas and Will GogI sans, the negro held in jail here, were j participants in the crime. What evidence may be adduced against Goggans (remains to be seen. It seems, from [ what can be gatnered in connection ! with the affair, that Thomas' wife was j j being depended upon as one of the j ! strongest witnesses against Thomas, | | and the impression that she had | "gone back" on her evidence against ' her husband, or would do so, may nave had sometnmg to do with inspiring the lynching.
