Senator Tillman's address to the
State convention is much more moderate
and conservative than is customary
for him. It is a strong presentation
of his claim for being rejzlontorl
to tho cortafp ihnt if- Iflpfcs thp
fire and snap that have been characteristic
of his utterances in the past,
^e says there never was any foundation
for the supposition that he had
entered a deal with any one to get
out of the face. We are pleased to
make the statement as we intimated
In a former editorial that there might
be a frame up.
It 'being true that there has been
o<mnATnon+ frt?> him + r\ orot ftllt tllfl
UV J.V1 UliU IV/ V/V*t bMV
wonder to us is even greater' that
Prank Lever let his old time political
enemies fool him into the senatorial
race in the hope that he might be
elected. We can .see now no chance
for him at all. We understand that
some of the politicians in this county
who should, by an tne rules ana
amenities of life, if they had any appreciation
of help in the past, he for
Tillman, are actively at work for
!Lever, and they may succeed in beating
Tillman in Newberry county, but !
it is doubtful because the people will
fce 'aible to see through the game.
9
These politicians do not knowr what
the word gratitude means. We doubt
if they have ever heard of the word.
Certainly it does not figure in their'
0 vocabulary.
??
Mr. W. P. Pollock who was elected
president of the State convention is
evidently one of those get together
and lay aside factionalism statesmen
of whom the editor of the Yorkville
Enquirer wrote: "Let's get together.
You give up all your aspirations for
nolitical preferment, surrender your
judgment and conscience to me. and
let me do your thinking for you. I'll
hold the office, control the patronage,
represent the prestige and leave you
to come when when you are sent for.
Yes, it's up to you only. Let's get
together." And it is "the other fellow
who is the demagogue. I'm the
statesman. It's my privilege to cuss
and abuse. You must be meek and
humble and lowly and come only
when you are sent for." Unless we
are badly mistaken there will be
trouble in the old land if Mr. Pollock
continues the kind of undignified use
of the English language during the
summer that lie mauiaeg mmseii m
at State convention.
This is a time when we want to see
the people get together, and when
there should be unity of purpose and
action, but. we utterly fail to see how
you are going to get the people together
by abusing every one who may
not agree with you.

One of the best things we have seen
on the war discussion is a paragraph
from Frank Stanton's column in the
Atlanta Constitution. It reads:
"We hear a lot of talk about how
to win the war. The best thing we
know of to win it is to get you a
good repeating gun, <jet on the front
line and use the gun. That' beats
all your cheap talk. We know, because
we have tried it."
And here is another chunk of good
stuff in the same connection:
\
"When the Lord made man He
made him out of clay, set him up by
The wall to dry and was to. come back
later and put brains in him; but when
He returned, a lot of them had gone
off without any brains. And a darn
. sight of them are loose here with us
yet?those that walked off without
drains."

I
a <a>m> rile.
One of the rules adopted by the
'! Democratic convention in Columbia
j should have the endorsement of all
: Wfl rofor i/\ thn
j li UC UCiliU^i ttio. n V A VW
; new rule which will require all voters
to swear that tiiey did not vote
i
against the nominees of the party
in the General Election in 'November j
; 1917. (1916 we suppose it means.) !
j The men declared nominated by ]
I the party machinery were the demo
cratic candidates. Any candidate j
1 aggrieved at the decision of the of- j
ficers of the party so decreeing had j
a right to contest their decisionn be,
fore the courts. Failing to do so,
: it was the duty of all democrats to j
j accept the verdict. No man had a j
j right to try the case before him-j
, self, and give his own decision on !
: whether or not the nominations had !
been regularly made, anc still claim
to be a part of the democratic
I party.
We think we clipped the above from
! the Spartanburg Journal, or it may
! have been the Greenwood Journal j
' Sorry we can not give the proper j
j credit.
: The rule may be a goorl one, but i
! we would toe inclined to invite the \
. stray sheep back into the fold even ;
s if they were temporarily lost. You |
i recall how the good Book talks about j
| the one sheep that had gone astrayj
and was lost and then the ninety and
nine that had not gone away but
I were already saved and so no. But, we.
! wpro wondering whv the convention 1
made the rule apply only to 191'
How about those democrats who
strayed off and voted for Palmer and
: Buckner in 1896, and those who voted j
for Dr. Sampson Pope in 1S94, and
those good democrats who voted;
j for General A. C. Haskell in
1890. So^e of the are still j
. liviline . and some of them had (
. something to do with the mak-5
inc nf fhie rnlp and flnn1viner it
to the 1916 election. Tn fact some of.
those who arp now taking up the,
fio-ht for Senator Tillman were among
those who bolted his nomination in
1S90 and voted for Haskell. We
thought this was a time when we;
wanted all our people to get together,
and to undertake to drive some of
them out of the party is not a good
! cfort Wp tMnV we saw where one
paper wanted to exclude every one
f-i-o nf this country
gting into war. Well, politics not only
makes queer bed fellows, but causesome
people to take queer positions. <
The whirligig of time brings Tillman 1
back, not into the house of his old
1 friends, but right into the arms and
I caresses of those who when he began
: bis career fought, him to the extent
. of bringing out a ticket against him.
i And then some of his one time friends
and those he made what thev have in i
i' i
politics are now gone astray and
fondling Mr. Lever into the notion
that he could be elected and they'
i never loved Lever much before, that <
j i:i> uiitr cvci it;au tx'uuui.
| So far as we are concerned we have
always stuck to the nominees and
have eaten our crow like a nice little
i man should do.

CLOSING EXERCISES ;
SILVERSTREJET SCHOOL
i
__ t
i * *
j Somehow I have felt a personal in j
terest and a personal pride in the
school at Silverstreet. I had some-;
1 i
thing to do with the building of the i
school house and its location and ths
I 1
purchase of the lot and the votiny
| of the tax for the maintenance and
; the establishment of the school an*? ,
' I can not but help feel a personal in- j
! trcst in seeing the school succeed.'
! }
And somehow the teachers who have *
| been there have been a little partial j
and 1 have been invited to take pari j
I in nearly ad I of the closing exercises j
I of the school. j
| At the time 1 became county sn- !
| perintendent of education there wa.s j
no school buildinsr in the district.
I though the trustees did own a lot the
! title to which was somewhat conditioned
upon the building of a school
house on it. The people had heen!
very much divided in their school :
matters and during the short time j
that I held the office we managed to !
buy .a lot and erect a $4,000 school!
? j
house and open a two teacher school
! j
I and vote a two mill tax for main- j
tenance. the district already havinsrj
. a two mill tax, and the two entitled j
them to a rural graded school because;
they bad the children. All this in less ,
j ?
than a year and n half would make>
: ont have a rieht to feel nroud, and
I !
to take an interest in the school !
I
i This year and lact vast year t'ie!
! principal, Miss Rosine Singlev. in- j
sisted that I should be present and j
i direct the exercises for her and pre- j
j sent the certificates to those who had
; finished the course at the school. It
was a pleasure to comply 'with her
request, and as I had also promised
to be at Dead Fall the,afternoon o?
the same day^ one trip accomplished
i
both.
On account ot the rains the afternoon
and night before, 1 went to Silvers!
reet on the afternoon train am]
.Mr. Henrv 0. Long was 1-ind enough
%
to take me to Dead Fall, and aftei
the exercises there 1 went down tc
his fine country place and had a good
meal and then back to Silverstreei
for the exercises there. Mr. Lone
has one of tht best roads from th^
steel bridge road down to his honu
in the county, and he built it himself.
I hod the pleasure of comin<:
back home with Mr. Claude H. Williams
and Mr. E. S. Blease in Mr
Williams' car.
Owing to the rain on Monday even+
Vi a nmorrn m thnt harl "hf^n

scheduled for that evening was postponed
to Tuesday evening and both
programs rendered. All the young
foik acquitted themselves handsomely
and reflected credit upon the excellent
training they had received. And
as I heard these young folks and looked
at them I could 'but wonder how
any one could have been opposed to
the building of this fine school in thir,
community where before they had
f\r* nnlv n tpmnorarv abode and
HUUCt vv... .
a one teacher school. I am satisfied
that now there is no one in the com
rnunifv who regrets the money put
in this school.
The serrrnri on Sunday was nre^'hed
by Dr. J. Henry Harms and while
I did not. have the pleasure of hearing
it I konw it was a good one.
The program for the primary grades
which was rendered on Tuesday evening
is as follows:
Song?America.

by 'Mr. Blease in a very happy speech.
The cprt^'ficates were presented by
me, to the three young ladies and one

had finished the course, in a few remark
pmnhasizins: the importance ol

I also in behalf of the trustees
presented a modal to Lois 'Nichols who

t-io natrons Tuesday afternoon they
recommended to the trustees that
they reelect Miss Bushardt for an
other school year at an increase in
salary.
And they also recommended that 2
tax he voted of four mills in addition
