AN APPEAL TO CAESAR.
After all the Dispensary fuss cr
ated by Col. T. L Gantt, editor
the Piedmont "Headlight," he on
succeeded in giving certain polit
cians and newspapers a subject
quote from when they endeavor, I
insinuation, to besmear the charact
of Senator Tillman. Gantt, in h:
interviews and in his editorials, mad
broad hints at Tillman's dishonest
He almost said that '[illman receive
rebates through the Dispensary, bi
with his usual shrewdness he left
hole to crawl out at, whenever th
falsity of his charges were made a]
parent. Gantt has certainly endeas
ored to injure the Dispensary syster
and the question in our mind is, di
he dlo this with any mercen ary m<
tive? No one will ever accuse Gan
of being a fool, but on the contrar:
he is one of the "slickest ducks"i
the State. If McLaurin's estimat
of him is correct, who knows ho
much he received from the opponen1
of the Dispensary for all the rack<
he kicked up. His cry for an inves
tigation from "Hell to Holland" wit
the "opponents of the Dispensary" t
sit as judges, may sound to son:
people as an honest wish for a tho:
ough investigation, but to us it dot
not.
There should be a thorough invel
tigation and the committee should I
made up of friends of the law-me
whose characters are above reproac
and who have no political aspir:
tions ; they should be well know~
business men, and they should be en
powered to force witnesses to testif:
Gantt may paw the earth and 1
may fill the air with his exclamation
of ~"my hands ai-e clean" and wit
his insinuations against others; bu
before he will be able to make muc
of an impression, he will have to gis
a better explanation of his own cor
duct than he has so far.
B. R. T., not "Beckroge's robbe
trunk," but B. R. Tillman, you stoo
up in the United States Senate chan
her and demanded an investigatic
of certain charges made by new;
paper correspondents against Sen
tors. You did right. We hope a
investigation will be made; but
home a newspaper editor and a ma
who has professed to be your frien<
within the last few days made seriot
charges against you. What will yo
do about it? 'Tis true, yot
former colleague said that "Larry ca
out-lie them all," but in the light<
recent events, we do not think yo
will be doing yourself nor your ad
mirers justice by disregarding tI:
charges made against you, even by
man with Giantt's reputation.
Senator Tillman, if you value th
confidence reposed in you by thoi
sands of honest men, [obtain a leas
of absence from Washington an
join in the effort to show to the pet
ple tbeir confidence in you has nc
been misdirected. Come home an
crush out forever the slanders thi
have been breathed against you.]
will not do to "consider the source.
Charges have been made, and yo
must refute them and then helpt
expose all of the rottenness, whethe
it is stealing, bribery or conspiracy.
Not a few people think that ther
are men not directly connected wit
the Dispensary, who are manipulat
ing this great big scandal for a pol
tical purpose. We well remembe
how one of our R5eform leaders in thc
last campaign was defeated and thc
same tactics are being again resorte
to for the crushing out of somebod
else. The people feel that they wer
buncoed in the last primary and the
do not want to make any more mis
takes, it is therefore necessary the
we hear from you with no uncertai
sound; we beseech you not to liste

Gary Evans "pay no attention, thc
people are not taking any stock

THERE ARE RUMORS AND RUMOR:
nIn last MIonday's issue of the "Nev
iand Courier" M1r. August Kohn, ti
able Columbia correspondent il
tdulges in a lot of speculation wit
regard to the difficulty in runnir
down bribery in the Dispensar
etransactions. He illustiates by sul
posing very ingeniously,' transactic
between "The Make Mone'y Distillir:
~Company" and "M1r. B.oodle."
-member of the State Board of Contro
in this illustration he shows that
is almost impossible to catch a mc
who has made up his mind to be
-rascal; then he goes on to speak<
sthe various rumors afloat. We agr4
with this correspondent, if a memb<
-of the Board is bribed with cash,
ewill be hard to find it out, but if v
are to take rumors as a starting has
hit would be a good idea to find or
whether there is any truth in the r
port of an official, an ex-official an
-others being gengaged in a gaix
.of poker with a representative of
eliquor house, and in that game seve:
sal hundred dollars wvas won by tb
official, ex-official and others; tb
report says, the liquor ma
man was DaN for, to a considerab]
sum, but he was consoled with heav
-orders from the board. If this r<
port be true it strikes us as a shrew;
iway of receiving bribes. Then ai
other report is, a man once connecte
-with the Dispensary, and whot b<
nfore his connection with the institt
~.tion wats very poor, has since bee
able to go to at least one of the C<
lumbia banks and have a lot of 01
thundred dollar bills changed ft
smaller ones. Of course, if a ma
,has large bills he has a right to ha'
isthem changed for smaller ones, hi
uin these hard times when a man
irfinances aie about as well knowvn t
nthe public as to himself and it
known that before he held a certai
position he could not handle $10
- bills, but does now, it at lea.
emakes curious people suspicious an
athey wonder where, and how did 1
make the raise? Especially so, whe
ethe whole country has been stirre
~-up with all manner of charges<
corruption in connection with tl
Dispensary management. If
whiskey drummer sat down and a
alowed a party having a "pull" wit
dthe purchasing power of the Boar
tt o win a lot of money, he did it pu
posely and with the intention to bu
'the services of the men with Ul
u"pull," and if such things have o<
urred they should he, together wit
rthe names of the parties exposed..
a former or a present attashe of th
Dispensary is found out to be band
hling an unusually large amount<
money, we think under existing coi
ditions. the authorities could with a
rpropriety make inquiries into tl
esource from which it came.

, The Greenville "News" has jumped
upon the lecture platform and with
- out leave, cause, or provocation as
), far as we are concerned, proceeds to
st read certain Reform newspapers a
r'lecture on journalistic good manners.
al THE TniEms is among the number that
- has fallen under the "New's" dis
it pleasure. Just when we gave cause
>t for such an outburst of scolding we
ecan not recall, and why we should be
ig classed among those that gave per
sonal offense we do not know. Cer
-tainly the "News" cannot complain
e1 of us on this score, as we make it a
s rule never to hit unless hit at first.
- There is no such thing as turning
e the other cheek and if striking back
is to leave us out of the category of
"Reform papers which are edited by
.* gentlemen," we can only say that we
agree with' the "News" when it says.
-"A jackass cannot edit a newspaper
eforcibly," and we congratulate the
t"News" on the discovery of the lack
h of force in its editorials.
vThe Charleston "Sun" spoke of
Captain D. J. Bradham as a Guber
n natorial possibility, and other news
gpapers are speaking of our dis
A. tinguished fellow-citizen for other
; high positions. As far as his being a
t Gubernatorial possibility is con
nceined, wve are sure he would not
a think of allowing his name used in
>that connection against Governor
eEllerbe, who is doing his duty wit
rout fear or favor, and we feel certain
tthat a second term will be given him
e without any material opposition.
sCaptain Bradham would fill any
tposition with credit, and we would
like very much to see him occupying
da place on the State ticket as Secre
e tarv of State.
Presid~ent E. H. Aull, of the State
e Press Association, deserves the hearty
e applreciation of every member for the
nmost excellent trip he has succeeded
e in arrauging. The nencilpuhr
w ~ill have an opportunity that only
comes once in a life time of attending
a great exhibition and traveling
through a country made up of beauti
ful landscapes. Nothing has been
overlooked that would inure to the
plasure of the crat~, and besides the
picturesque scenery, historical inci
dents will be pointed out all along
e the route. Every newspaper man
rin the State should take advantage
of it and the more will be the merrier.
Senator Tillman has wiitten a let
ster to Governor Ellerbe with refer
ence to the Dispensary scandal and
Agricultural Hall case and for some
reason- the Governor declines to give
t the letter out for publication,although
the Senator wrote it for publication.
We do not know what the letter says,
ebut we believe it is a document which
will send cold chills down the backs
of some people in thbis State. We. will
not criticize Governor Ellerbe's
action in withholding the letter from
-the public, and will assume for the
present, that it is for some wise pur
pose.___
W henever Senator Tillman rises in
the"American House of Lords" great
eis the disappointment if he sits down
wi~thout making it uncomfortable for
some of the members. A few days
ago be rose and dlemanded an inves
tgation of certain charges made
against Senators, who it is alleged,
hav'e been speculating in Sugar. Till-1
mann's iemarks were not at all rel
ised, especially by the Sugar Spec u
ating Senators.

Samps Pope's Diary.
[Revihed from the Washington Post.]
March 2-Just arrived. Washing
ton a nice town. Wonder if it
wouldn't be as well to stay here as
to go abroad?
March 4-Saw Major McKinley
inaugurated. We folks who nomi
nated him will be all right now. 1
Think I had better take an assistant i
secretaryship. The administration i
wants good men who know some- i
thing about politics. Besides I am i
getting to like Washington.
March S-Big crowd at the White
House. They ought to give the
President time to settle himself.
Have sold my excursion ticket and
will stay awhile. Too many people
make a hotel uncomfortable. Have
found a good boarding house.
March 11-Shook hands with the
President in the East Room and told
him I would call on a matter of busi
ness in a few days. He seemed
pleased.
March 15-Went to the Capitol
and found G. W. Murry. He was
sour. Said the whole State was here
chasing him. Asked me what I
wanted and said "Better go for some
thing in reach." Maybe an auditor
ship would be the thing.
March 23-Took my papers to the
White House to-day. Thought I'd
wait and have a private talk with i
the President, but Secretary Porter <
said I'd have to go .along with the t
rest. What an ill-mannered set they
were. Elbowed me right along just
because they saw the President
wanted to talk with me. Will have
to go backand finish our conversa
tion.
March 27-Got some more money
from Newberrv.
March 29-Went to the White
House, but the chap at Porter's door
wouldn't let me in. Said it was after
hours. He ought to be fired.
April 3-Saw Mark Hanna after
waiting five hours. Asked him why
my letter had not been answered. He
said he was getting 400 a day and
his secretary wvould catch up some
time next year. I always thought
Hanna was overestimated. Now I
know it.
April 5-Had an interview with the
President. Was last in line so they
couldnt push me along. When 1
told him of my services to the party
he replied, "Oh, yes," and for me to
file my papers in the State Depart-i
ment. Said he had many good<
friends in Indiana and hoped they
would be ipatient. Can he hlave for
gotten that I am not from Indiana?
Probably the tariff is worrying him.
Shameful the way the Senate is act
ing.
April 7-Borrowved a little more
money. Washington is an expensive
town to live in.
April 11-Murry says all the audi
torships were mortgaged before the
election, but he will endorse me for
a special agency or a chief clerkship
if I can find one that isn't under the
eivil service law, or a deputy mar
shallship.
April 12-D-n the civil service
law.t
April 17-Didn't know there were
so many good positions abroad.
Ought to have gone for one of them
in the first place. The State Depart
ment list is a great thing. Th ink
['ll start with Antwerp and check off
a few which will suit me. Wonder
where I can negotiate a small loan?
April 19-Got to see the President
and told him I could best serve thee
administration and the party abroad, eC
He said, "Oh, yes," and to file my
papers in the Post-office Department, t
and he hoped his friends in Massa-r
?husetts would be patient. Whatc
tuade him think I was from Massa
:husetts? I suppose he gets mixedc
sometimes.
April 20-Murry says there is one
3hance in a million of getting a con-e
sulate, but if I will concentrate on I
Liberia he and the delegation will do I
what they can. Salary, $500. Fees,
$87. C
April 21-Have concentrated on Li
beria. Giot in the line to-day just
for a moment to tell the President it
would suit me. He said, "Oh, yes,"
and to file my paper in the Treasury
Department, and he hoped his
riends in Minnesota would be
patient till he could get around to
them. Queer he should think I wast
from Minnesota.
April 27--The ingratitude of thatc
man McKinley! He has nominated
Jones, a nigger, for consul to Liberiat
when he knew I had concentrated ont
it. After my services to the party,
too. Who is Jones, anyhow?
April 57-I am going home. Murryc
bas got ma~ a pass. Will send for my
trunk later. I tremble for the future I

In your issue of May 5, there is a clip

herec must be some reason for it and fur

ome Timely Remarks on an Oft-te
peatedi lequest,
The city editor of a newspaper nearl:
very day is importuned to leave this piect
f news or that piece of news out of the pa
icr, and duty to the public, as well as tc
is paper, often requires him to refuse suela
equests, while personally he might like tc
omply with them.
The Augusta "Chronicle" has an editorial
n this subject which covers the whole
;round so well that it is here reproduced
"'he request to leave out news that con
es us or our friends is as natural, per
taps, as the desire to have all the news
rinted about other folks for our entertain
ent and information. If it is about r.t
r ours, leave it out; if it is about the other
allow, print it, seems to be the natural im
>lse of the human mind, and we alwayt
eel : we are making an entirely reason
h request when we ask the suppression
f an item that concerns us, even though
tbe an entirely legitimate matter of news,
nd one which we would expect to see in
he papers if it concerned anybody else.
"But such requests are very embarrassing
o the newspaper man. There is not an
nforunate man or woman, who inot an
utast, but has friends ready to intereede
or the suppression of news concerning~
em, and if the newspapers should acceden
o all such requests the result would he
ha't only about outcasts could a newspaper
ublish anything except of a eulogistic
haracter.
"When it comes to eulogy and fiattery,
owever on deserved and extravagant, we
,re willing to see that in print; and it is
stonishing to see how much it takes to
atisfy us. As long as it is sunshine wcn
vll say publish by all means, but when
hadow comes our way; when we violate
vw; when the aspect in which we will tap
>ear before the public is not comipli
entary, then at once we say: 'Ksep i
ut of the papers.'
"This is humain nature. Bat should a
ewspaper publisher accede to the re.
1uest? Is he dealing fairly with those whc
ay for the news? These are questions
hat persons who requiest the suppression
