TALKS OK LEGISLATION i K. K. Tiliman Stops at Greenwood.? Tiie Passenger Kale. i i Greenwood. Feb. 21.? Senator B. R. Tillman, who arrived here today; from Atlanta, wnere ne nas ueeu s.na' j his appearance a: t.:e asylum investigation in Columbia, gave out this statement this afternoon: i "1 have just returned from Atlanta, wiie'e I have been for the benefit of my wife's health principally, and incidentally, of my own. The rest has done us both lots of good. I | shall return to Washington as soon as possible, but want to go by home to * -m\- voo-atuKlo o'arrlpn hpfnrp I ' CI w ? " v ^~ f leaving the State. "1 have tried as best I could since the legislature met to keep in touch with what it has been doing, but the two tilings which jave interested me most are the asylum investigation and the 1 cent hat rate for railroads 1 want to say something about this latter for tiie benefit of my fellow citizens. I am not very hopeful, however, of it having any effect what- ? ever o.i the legislature, because it is j perhaps too late; but I can see the ear marks of :he railroad lobby. One branch of the general assembly, the house, has passed the flat rate, without makinp- PYPpntinnc ? ? o w? "This is unjust and never ought to 2ia?e been done.. It is not right to compeJ the short poor roads, of which there are 15 or 20 in this State, with only one or two passenger trains a day and these with very inferior cars, to carry passengers at 2 cents per mile. It should not have'been thought of and the bill ought ty 'have j been amended in the house to pro- | vide for the exemptions that are nec- | essary if the law is to be a just one. 1 But I notice that there is an effort I in the senate to kill the bill oc ac- 8 count oL' these exemptions not liav- I ing been made, and every device and J parliamentary trick is being employ- j to accomplish this result. Why don't the senators who want to serve their constituents, the people, amend the bill so as to make it reasonable and just and send it back to the house instead of killing it and doing nothing as the railroads want them to do? "Why do not the legislators look after the rights and privileges of those who have bought railrcad mileage over the through lines, but can not use it in South Carolina at all jj from point to point witnin tfte stater Why is not the railroad commission given power, if any more he needed tiiaii it already has, to regulate this matter of exemption? How long will railroad attorneys, inside a.:d cutside of both branches of the general assembly, be permitted to manipula:e our law making machinery in the interests of the railroads and to the detriment of the traveling public? "1 have not kept up with the debates and do not know what names to specify, but unless my health fails or quits improving my purpose is to investigate tie journals of both the senate and the house and see who is to blame for this condition of affairs, and so help me God, I will let the people know who are their faithful servants. and who are traitors to their interests before the next primary. "I can not make any speeches on the stump or anyhere else, but 1 can dictate to a stenog:apher and sign what I write in Uat way. It makes j \ me sick, old and decrepid as I am, to see how cunning and subtle and un- | scrupulous the railroad lobbyists ( are, and now cowardly and corrupt the people's servants are becoming, how the people are bamboozled and are , being debauched by demagogues high and low. "The governor bawls for a 2' cent rate and the house votes it, flat, with- i out any exemption, and his conscience j 1 is ciear. ne Knows, as wen as I , do. that a ^ cent fiat rate is not right , and every sensible man in the State , knows it'is not right to alio:.' the lung ( and rich roads like the Southern, j ( Seaboard and Atlantic Coast Line to do as they are now doing and will ^ continue do until the people arouse j themselves and hold their servants to i. account."
