There are some species of man kind, that will not tolerate any thing which runs counter to thei views, and as a consequence, they set up an idol to worship those who will not worship th same idol, become in their esti mation, heretics. Very recentl; we had a little experience alon, this line: one of our subscribers in fact, one of the oldest sul scribers on our lists, is so intens in his love for Ben Tillman tha it was like worm-wood and ga] to him every time we undertoo] to show the inconsistencies o his idol's affection. We wer among the supporters of Benja min, and when he started out we sincerely believed him to b an honest leader: that his whol aim was to arouse the people t a new-born energy, that the; might get out of old worn rut and strike out into more prc gressive paths. Tillman is great man, one specially adaptei to blaze the way, and it wa through him,that South Carolin can proudly say, the right of th people to have a voice in thi government, came. - We differed with Tillman' methods numbers of times, an< did not hesitate then to give ex pression to our views; for ther< is no man under the heavens wh< can stop us from thinking and giv ing expression to our thoughts When we believed Tillman wa wrong. we said so, and when w believed-him right we stood b him. While he was Governor w did not like his acceptance o pass No. 1, because he had dE nounced those who accepte passes; we did not like his mar agement of the bond deal, b( cause there are yet several mat ters connected therewith whic] have not been satisfactoril; explained, and his conduct o: the whiskey rebates was such a laid him liable to the stronges suspicion. In the latter matter the suspicion is so strong tha even some of his warmest ac mirers believe that he ''lir ed his pockets." When Till man was approached on the suti ject he said, "prove it." Th legislature attempted to get th proof, but those with whom Til] man had dealings refused t show their books, and Tillma: not insisting upon those book being investigated, has shakel the faith of many,in his honesty It is well known that whe: Tillman became governor he wa a very poor man, a farmer sadl; in debt and his getting a posi tion which paid him a salar; of $3,500 a year was a relief tha he never before found in hi credit accounts with the meI chants of Augpsta. The salar, of the Governor, together wit: the unauthorized free grocerie from the penitentiary, was onl; sufficient to support him, an< when he came out of that office after deducting his householl expenses from his salary,i left but little. He was elect to the United States Senat at a salary of $5,000 per year and it is the experience of a: men in such positions thati takes the whole of the salary c a Senator to meet . expenses Now here we have a very po man put in position which take all of his income to meet es penses, and notwithstandin; this, we find this same very poo man after a few years in publi life, changed from financia cramp to financial affluence. H is reputed to be largely interest ed in Mexican copper mines, an: a director in a corporation hav ing for its capital stock the sui of $5000,000. It is known to a: men that, to have a voice in th direction of such an institution vast amount of the stock must b represented, and it is also known that people who invest largel; in the stock of such a corpora tion are not likely to have them selves represented by proxy, t< the extent of voting the polic; of the corporation's management The question is asked where di Tillman get all of his mone, from? He was mixed up in som questionable deals: the peop1 who honored him, and hoiste from his banki-upt condition, ar wondering, whether or not the: were mis-led in the beginning, o did their trusted leader betra; the trust reposed in him? To a] inquiries, Tillman sneers out th words "prove it." When he wa running for Governor in 1890,i was him who said "it is for m to accuse, and for the accused t prove themselves innocent. But he does not wish the sam rule to apply to him, nor will h gratify his constituents by help ing those who are seeking th< proof. Innocent men demand thorough investigation w'ien the; are so charged, and if thctre ar< any obstacles thrown in the wa' to make the transaction clear,. in their power, they render all ait to remove such obstacles. Till man has not done this, but goe: right on, and the evidences o his wealth accummulate. Some of his new made friends who in the days gone hy,were be lieved to even have plotted assas sination to prevent his success, are now clinging to his coat-tail with a tirmer grip than ever did the -wool hat boys in 1890." This gang of preterding friends, tired of being held away from public pap, have prostrated theniselvcs before him, and he is actually: , walking upon their necks. No Q Chinese Boxer ever made a more humble kotow before a Joss than has the News and Courier before Senator Tillman. that newspaper never lets a day pass without doing him worship. It goes so far in doing penancethat it reviles without rhyme or rea son evervbody else who will not join it in its incantations: even when it brought out its great ex position issue. it did not fail to depreciate the efforts of the junior Senator who has done the - Exposition valuable s e r v i c e. - Fortunately, we do not believe r the News and Courier voices the f true sentiment of Charleston. , Our friend who is so intense in e his administration for Tillman, has come forward and given us r to understand that since we have r determined to advance viewsnot in accord with his idol. that he does not wish to have our doc e trines inculcated into him. He t wants to remember Tillman as he I was, and not as he is today, r therefore he paid up his sub f scription and parted company e with us. We did not like to part - company with our friend, but it , is far preferable to lose him, e than it is to lose our individual e ity. We now believe that Tillman > has evoluted from an honest and r sturdy farmer, into a scheming, s selfish politician with a view to re-enforce the good things that t he has done by seeking more I and more power for selfish S gain. He has reached that i stage where he can make a money, and his sudden wealth s; has convinced us that it is ab solutely necessary on the part of s the people to consider well, I whether it is not time that they - were looking more closely after their own interests, than to give > additional power to one man. HYPOCRITICALLY SERV JLE. e A constant reader of the r News and Courier must have B noticed how persistent that f Journal is in reproducing every - thing of a disparaging nature I that is wrttten about Senator J. - L. McLaurin, and it also at tempts to turn every thing possi -ble to Tillman's credit. If Sena 1 tor McLaurin was a narrow i minded. resentful and selfish 1' politician, he would punish Char 5 leston for the way its morning t newspaper, whose editor -is a ,' big "I" in the exposition, is t treating him, but no, John Mc - Laurin is doing a conscientious V duty for Charleston and the -State. and while it may not be Spleasing to him, he is too broad to permit himself to be influenc e ed by the conduct of a newspa -per that has had a mercenary ) reputation, ever since the days 1 of that famous letter "Damn 5 principle its money we want." 1 When the heart of every Char -lestonian should have been glad 1 on the day the exposition gates 5 were thrown open, the Neiws & T Courier comes out with what it -designated an "Exposition issue," r and in it, there was reproduced, t a long winded anti-McLaurin Seditorial from the Greenville -Mountaineer, and several edi torial squibs from other news 1papers on the same line. Then in giving credit to whom credit I was due, the statements relating i to Senators Tillman and McLau , rn were so glaringly unjust that ieven some Anti-McLaurin rea dens signified their disgust at -the News & Courier's unfairness. 3 There is no doubt that Tillman ,deser-es credit for trying to I help Charleston, but that is no t reason to rob McLaurin of cred f it for succeeding where his col -league failed. In the allusion r to Tfillman's special pains is taken] s to emphasize Charleston's grati -tude to Tillman, to the extent i that it calls upon the people to do Tillman's bidding next sum mer and, it virtually said of Mc i Laurin, we must take all he will give us, because it is nothing -but his duty. Notwithstanding i this, McLaurin prepares resolu - tions for Charleston, and is so unselfish that he permits Till-] l man to gratifiy his jealous vani i ty to introduce them, and the t News & Courier to give Tillman i the credit. "Chickens will come ,home to roost," but may be the ' News & Courier is like our State - Democratic Chairman Wily Jones - who .is credited with, in 1890. > after Tillman was elected, when r advised not to join the Tillman -party, as the thing was only i temporary and would soon r change. He replied by saying a if they change any faster than a me, they will have to be damned l wide-awake." Tillman was in the saddle, but when the News & Courier and the State both -attempt to ride 'with him, the girth broke, and all three are scrambling in the mud like so many swine in a wallow. SWe were much gratified at see ing the Charleston Post notei what THE TIMES had to say1 about our railroad facilities, and1 Sits remarks we know will add1 much to influencing action on< the part of the railroad authori-i ties. We heartily agree with The I Post that the directors of the ex-1 poition should take this matter] up at once with the railroad peo-( Fple, and we believe they can help us and themselves by doing o. In behalf of the people of this section, we thank The Post Sfor its kind words and timely as-< sistance. Waring, old friend, OUR EXPOSITION. There is a tremedous busi ness depression at this time, so: far as South Carolina is concern ed: the farmers have not made enough to iiwet the demands up o)n1 them, and those dependent upon what is made from the soil, are embarassed as a consequence of crop failures; but, notwith standing this condition, together with low prices for cotton, and fearfully high, and still going higher prices for the necessaries of life, our people should make very effort to lend encourage inent to those who are making the effort of their lives to dis entangle the people of this State from the business cobwebs whieh are iimipeding our movements in the business world. The expo sition at Charleston is now open, nd ready to receive visitors from all over the world. The peopie of this State should by all means go there and by their presence encourage the noble exertions being made in their behalf by a small band of heroic business men, who- have given their time and money to induce the world to come and see what is possible in the South. The management has arranged for sufficient attractions aside from the wonderful exhibits, to en tertain visitors during their stay, and it is also seeing to it, that there shall be no extortion. The exhibits should be seen by every body, and every parent interes ted in his child's educational welfare should, even if he has to borrow the money for the ex pense, see that the child visits the exposition. Every teacher should feel it a duty to urge the necessity of a visit to the ex position. Ever since that band of public spirited business men conceived the idea of having an exposition in the city of Charleston, we have felt convinced that the thought was not only patriotic, but from a practical business standpoint, the project was one which was bound to inure to the benetit of the people of the en tire State, and with these feel ings we have never faltered in advising our readers to take ad vantage of this grand opportuni ty to bring about a developement of the resources of this State. We have urged the counties and the municipalities to come to the id of the exposition, by using their influence to have their local ities prepare, and send down ex hibits. And notwithstanding the gates have been thrown open, there is yet time for additional exhibits from those who have responded, and for those that have done nothing so far. but whether your community has a place in the picture or not, it should be the patriotic duty of every man, woman and child that has the welfare of the State at heart, to say by. their presence at the exposition, we endorse this grand effort, and wish it success. COTTON CONDITION. Notwithstanding the fact, that the United States govern ment, that does not speculate in otton,it estimates the cotton crop of 1901 at 9,675,000, Neill reas serts his former estimate of 11, 300,000 bales. When the govern ment gave out its estimate, the manufacturers became alarmed and at once rushed upon the market for raw material, the price went up and was about to continue its upward course, when Neill came back with his original cestimate creating such a doubt that buyers are in a guandary about buying. If the government 's correct, there will not be enough raw materialt to supply the demand: if Neill is correct, then~ there will be a surplus. We have more faith in Uncle Sam's repcrt, than the re port of Neill, because the for er can only ne* actuated i lesire to seek correct* - ion, while the latter m bhe employ of speculators, whose interest it is to keep the price' lown by creating the impression that there is a surplus, and thenj. when it is all purchased at thel tow price, all at once it will be liscovered that a scarcity exists and the price will go bounding apwards. .We would not advise bhe holding of cotton. but if we - bad cotton of our osvn, not one pound would we sell at present prices, for, as fir-mly as we be ieve there is a to-morrow, so tirmly do we believe cotton will reach ten cents. The crop is short is unquestionable; the de and is greater than it was a vear ago, and we cannot see my reason why the price should remain as it is now. We looki lor fluctuations brought on by 1 speculators fighting to stave offi he inevitable, but if supply and] 'lemand have any influence upon values, then, tight as they may, prices must go un.' So far as - theproducerisconcerned, we are< fraid a rise in the price may1 aot help him directly, but indi rectly it will, because it will Lave a relieving effect, and1 usiness men will find it less] lifficult to make their arrange aents for next year's business. We see it stated that Alabama aegroes, are raising funds to test :he constitutionality of the Ala ama constitution which prac :ically disfranchises the negroes. >f that State. Meetings are be- 1 ng held to raise funds to employ awyers to take the matter to the nited States Supreme Court.1 Eere is an opportunity for the olumbia State to have its paper1 nade popular in Alabama, by re - roducing its editorials of years igo, when George W. Murray vas soliciting funds to carry up ur constitution, and advisingL is people to subscribe to that? OUR SENATORS. Senators Tillman and McLau :in had a bout last Monday which iffords the scrap loving element lelight. but which is to be de plored by all who feel a pride in South Carolina. It is another ase of Tillman's bullying tac ties, and we cannot understand why McLaurin's patience does not wear out. The sooner he ,als the halt on Tillman the bet ter it will be for McLaurin and the country. The Columbia State. which is opposed to Me Laurin, and of late extremely so, in yesterday's issue comments on the senatorial episode, and aLs it treats the subject in a fair manner we herewith reproduce it: Our Senators. seem determined to make spectacles of themselves. Their puerile dares were bad enough when made before home audiences last spring, but when they exhibit their personal animosity in childish fashion in the enate chamber the climax of indignity has been reached. The incident was precipitated by Sea tor McLaurin's plea for recognition as a Democrat. His associates of the party w!.ich sent him to the senate had et it be known that they no longer -ousidered him as one of them: that he must take his place formally with the Republicaus with whom he has for two years been voting. To this just char cterization of his status Senator Mc Laurin objected. Then blustering Ben must have his say. The point raised by Senator Hoar Zave Tillman his chance. Takins oc easion to chide McLaurin concerning the challenge at Gaffney, Ben, the boss of bluffers. again dares his colleague to resign. This time the colleague is silent. With the personal enmity and the lashing ambitions of the two Senators, we have nothing to do. To us the one is as bad as the other; we would rejoice to see both in political oblivion. But is representatives of South Carolina we are called upon to express our Ideep disgust and chagrin that they should air their very "dirty linen" in the senate of the United States. In this matter, with his usual bad taste, Sena tor Tillman appears to have been the chief offender. His hatred of Mr. McLaurin an. his challenge to him have nothing to do with the question of McLaurin's Democracy.

One month from- now, the General Assembly of South Car olina will convene, and among the many things it will have to consider, will be the election of several circuit judges. The in. cumbents for the first and third circuits will not stand for re election and already there are several candidates announced for the positions. Our readers are especiall~y interested in the judge of the third circuit, and we have already given our opinion as who their choice is-Hon. R. 0. Purdy of Sumter. It is indeed gralifying to learn that not only the people of this circuit favor Mr. Purdy, but the news comes frm various parts of the State that he will be the next judge of the third circuit. Here is a piece of news which rio doubt will be gratifying to those of us who believe the dis pensary system is calculated to lo good. J. B. Douthit former tate Commissioner, under whose idministration there was so much scandal that the General Assembly, legislated him and bfis board of control out of office, ind who, in the last election was m strong Prohibibitionist, has baken up a new role. He has >pened up in the city of Ander son, a branch of the Philadel phia Bible depository, and he proposes establishing agencies it other points. It was this same Douthit who was charged with putting false labels on whiskey bottles, and now for aim to become chief dispenser >f Bibles, it looks as if the dis pensary system ought to meet ~he . approval of the strictest re .iionist. The - Wright Bill" mention of which was made last week, >assed the General Assembly of he State of Georgia, and Gov ~rnor Candler has vetoed it. The >bject of this bill as we explain d last week, was to permit the rarious counties to vote and egulate the sale of liquor, and trange as it may seem the Pro iibitionists were arrayed al nost solidly against the measure. 1hey take the ground that if sch a bill were to become law, t would forever take the ques ion of prohibition out of State ssues, and only give them pro libition in the counties that are iaturally prohibition. The prin iple of prohibition did not eigh as much as future politi al expediency with the prohibi ion opponents of the bill, and >f course, in order to defeat the neasure. Governor Candler had wo classes to gratify-the sa oon keepers and the political rohibs. In South Carolina a imilar bill met with the opposi ion of Prohibitionists, and the ~esult was, in refusing to accept thalf loaf they got nothing and iever will, because those who ere inclined to permit honest Prohibitionists to have prohibi ion in their communities were >bstructed by a class of psalm ingers who were hunting office >y the hallelujah route.
