IGNORANCE, INTOLERANCE, INCON
SISTENCY.
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.

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.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured

cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's

It is composed of the best tonics known. com

One month from- now, the

the many things it will have to
consider, will be the election of
several circuit judges. The in.

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.

gralifying to learn that not only
the people of this circuit favor

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

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
