UNITED STATES SENATE, Washington. D. C., Jan. 11. 1902. Louis Appelt Esq., Manning, S. C. I have just received THE MANNING TIMEs of 8, January. Your purpose is evident. But I do not propose to dig nify you or your charges by any fur ther notice in print. I denounce your four columns of insinuations, misrep . resentations and falsehoods as slanders, and when you decline to face me before eople. you fall too low to be ny notice at ify hands. I to meet any attacks on my >r actions from respectable all times and in any place a any people in Clarendon me to come to that county .a acts as their Governor or Senator, I will gladly do o. B. R. TILLMAN. Uusually when a. individual declines to "dignify" us, we leave him alone to enjoy his grand estimate of himself, but when a man writes a letter for publication in this newspaper, it-is our privilege to reply to it, and when we have done so, he cannot with good grace come back at us with "I do not pro pose to dignify you or your charges by any further notice in print," and get off with it. Oh no, we have observed such tricks before and cannot now at this stage of the game be . fooled by them. Senator Tillman says he will not "dignify" us "by any furth er notice in pnnt" and further says "I denounce your four col umns of insinuations, misrepre sentations and falsehoods as slanders." The Senator pro claims that on account of what we have written about him no more notice will be taken of us in the newspapers. leaving the public to infer that it would be advisable for us to see that he does not notice us too much, out of print. Tillman had the op *portunity on Tuesday of last] week in the City of Columbia.] *We stood within arms length of< him for over a quarter of an hour in the lobby of Wright's hotel and he looked at us but] showed no disposition to "notice"] us out of print, so we do not1 think that we are in much dan -ger. The letter which we print above was sent to Manning and forwarded to us in Columbia, not] in time however- to be returned1 for publication last week: it1 doesn't matter about the delay - of a few days. We said we will publish* anything Senator Till-] man wishes published in reply1 to anything we might say about 1 him, and we would do the same for the humblest citizen. The above letter is not a reply, but we produce it as an advertise ment for Mr. Tillman without charging him a cent for it: The1 price for publishing that letter would be about $4.00 and were we to charge him, it might hand icap his payment- of the $4,000 note now lying in the Carolina i National Bang~, to which Till man has frequently referred, whenever anybody hinted at his showing signs of wealth, and -then the bank officials might have a grievance against us and not accommodate us with the ~rivilege of leaving a note with -t ~-.that we might refer to1 -when yeople get curious to know where we got our money. It is always considered good, business to cultivate the friend ship of the man who .holds the t combination to a bank vault. 1 B. R. .Tillman does not attempt to sustain his assertion that we slandered him by one solitary piece of progf. He simply says it and that is all. We did not - expect to say that our surmises and our reasoning relating to the robbery of the .whiskev re bates forced him to come for ward and confess the theft; our exposure of his penitentiary peculations was based upon written evidence which we offer ed to produce if the Senator de sired it. but he does not ask for -t it, and hopes to mislead by a contemptuous curl of the lip, and I-do-not-notice-you, -wave of the hand. Tillman knows why it is we will not be tricked into ac-] cepting his challenge to debate< with him, for he knows the dif- t ference between appearing be fore the public in cold type, where people can read and think, and the excitement at-i tending a joint debate where ( the speakers have partisans to1 whoop them up. Tillman dares not, for he has not the moralc courage to calmly discuss his betrayal of the people. We dare him to write for publication I over his signature a reply to our editorial of the 8th inst. He 1 knows that were he to attempt it we could take his own defensei and convict him: we would showc him up in his true light, and the public would be in position toc say whether or not we have a merit on our side. A man whose t record is as vulnerable as that t of B. R. Tillman cannot face the effect of reason, he must depende on passion and prejudice to ac- 1 complish his ends. Who ever heard of the accused confessing 1 ,vas 1no hope of escape.- Those vho expect Tillman to acknow- ' edge that he stole $70.000 in re ates from whiskey, will not be rratitied. Proof alone can bring he confession, and we have al eady indicated why proof is not orth coming just at this time, Dut be patient it may come. Tillman has confessed receiv ng things that he knew he had 1o right to. from the peniten tiary, but he puts it e vege tables" when wt. have proof. that the vegetables from that institutiou consisted of cabbage, turnips. coal. wood, commercial fertilizers, cotton seed, cotton -eed meal, brick and other vege tables. which he instructed the book keeper of the institution not to charge on the books. rillmian virtually .confessed having betrayed his people into the hands of one of those des pised corporations, by saying that his name appeared as a di rector because he was a United States Senator. He says we slandered him, but lie does not try to show that we made false charges-he simply denies. Does he think his simple denial will outweigh written e r t i fi c a t e s which are the basis of all charges made by us? The men furnish ing these documents are men of character and they do not ask us to hide their identity, and for that reason we asked the Sena tor if he would like to see this proof. If Tillman has been slandered, why does he not act like an honest man should, and ot play the bluff game of a braggart and a bully. He un lertakes to make capital out of our declining to accept his chal lenge for a debate. Does he not know that we have a right to select our mode of fighting him, ven if we accepted his challenge we would not let him dictate his :>wn terms, but he throws out a strong hint to be invited to come ere and we suppose he will get the invitation: when he comes he no* doubt will make us the bject of his coming. We ex pect to be present, and if he at tempts to fool the people about his connection with the whiskey rebate steal and his becoming a personal beneficiary of the pro iucts from the State institutions, we will have something to say, ind we will say it in our own way. The day Tillman comes here to vindicate himself he will be given to understand that sneer ing denials and contemplible but hrewd insinuations against ab sent people will not be accepted. Ee knows what we said about him and the people will want him to show it is false, which he 3an do as well in the public prints. Ben Tillman dares not ome out in the newspapers over hs name and tell the truth about his connection with the whiskey bran sactions. nor does he dare ive his earnest aid to force an examination of the books of the Mil Creek Distilling Company ind other companies which be Longed to that trust. If he will, the people would soon learn of :he whereabouts of their missing 90,00. Tillman prefers the nethods of the bully, and when ae finds by his bullying tacties ;hat his game wont work, he1 :hen plays the "you-are-beneath ny-notice-racket." Our fight started in THE MAN KING TIMEs, Tillman recognized ( >ur ground by coming on it withi1 m reply, and now that we have :aken his own letter and used it< ts an instrument to knock the1 scales from the the people's syes that the truth might stand efore them, he wants to change he base of hostilities, or call it >ff, by contemptuously declining ;o "dignify" us or our "charges >y any further notice in print."< We do not ask him to notice is, but at the same time we will 1 iot be detered from continuing :he war upon him. There wasv< time in the very recent past hat we were about to stop., ;hinking like many others, to ight him would be useless, but ve do not feel that way now,( md have reached the conclusion 1 hat it is our duty to convinceI he people that Tillman is not 1 vhat many honest men think lim, that he has deceived them2 or hispersonal aggrandizement. f ind we believe that before the 1 rear is out the public will be in] ull possession of a complete ex-C osure-of Tillman's transactions vith the whiskey trust. We 1 >nce had a strong faith in his >ersonal honesty, that faith has 1 >eer. shaken by his own brazen ~onfession of his having betray- 1 d his people for what has been >ften termed soulless corpora JUDGE PURDY At the election held by thei ~egislature Tuesday all of the 1 ld judges who stood for re- elec-< ion were again endorsed, and] dr. C. G. Dauzler, an able law-] er and excellent getleman vas chosen without opposition 1 n the ffrst circuit. All of larendon will be delighted to earn that Hon. R. 0. Purdy ofi sumter was on the first ballot 1 :hosen judge of the third circuit.c 'he compliment was all t:he 1 nore when it is remembered that e was opposed by two worthy d able lawyers. The elevation ;o the bench of such men as Mr. ?urdy is gratifying, and by do-E ng suchm acts South Carolina loes honor to herself. An able m md experienced lawyer, a pui-e ( hristian gentleman, with a pur-e ud clean record, he will wear he ermine well and with honora o himself and his State. The >eo~le of Clarendon feel a pe- s :uliar gratification in his election1 eeause it was here that he first c >egan the practice of law twen- i y years ago, fresh from the Un- I verity of Virinia anrd the sue-| :esses which he has achieved as :he result of worth and merit in :he profession which he has idorned has been warmly felt ind approved by his many [riends. Mr. Purdy was born in Virginia, and comes of a type of Aie'Old Virginia gentleman, but as during his twenty years stay Iere become thorougly Carolin aiI in spirit and sentiment. How's This?

There are times when in the heat of debate, all of us say things by way of retort that should not be uttered, and we tind ourself in this condition. Several months ago we had a wordy altercation with the edi tor of The State and we permit ted ourself to say things which reflected upon his personal char acter. In this we did him an injustice and we herewith make retraction of the same. We have no personal ill feeling against the said editor, and anything that might have been said by us which could be so construed, or which reflected upon his char acter we cheerfully withdraw and apoligize for. CAPITAL CORRESPONDENCE. Columbia, S. C., Jan. 20. 1902. The past week has been de void of much interest, for the reason, it takes the first week to et things in readiness. Sena tor Tillman was in Columbia at the opening of, the legislature. iLd his presence gave rise to the rumor that he had left his seat in Washington where im portant matters to the country were being discussed, to come to Columbia to hit John McLaurin another lick, by getting the gen ral assembly to take some step looking to discrediting McLaurin with the people-the adopting of resolutions repudiating McLau rin, and declaring. that inas much as the two Senators had signed resignations a vacancy exis, ', and an election be held for both seats. Of course Till man expected. if this course was adopted, he would himself be re elected vithout opposition, and successor to McLaurin would be :hosen: possibly, some one who be himself might suggest, but whether Tillman had anything to do with it or not, such was the current rumor a ~out the city and I believe there was founda ion for it. Many members of the general Assembly expressed themselves openly to the effect that if a new election was order ed, they would vote for neither 'illman or .McLaurin, and two aew men wou'ld receive their support; this sentiment was ~rowing stronger and stronger, then all at once I heard that 'illman said there was no va sancy, and if the general assem >1y had the election, it would >e ignored by the United States enate. Wonder if the senior senator was itnfiunced in his de ision by the growing sentiment :o drop both, he and McLaurin? I have, at two sessions suc ~eeded in having a bill passed brough the Senate to repeal the aw requiring a license to buy ;eed cotton, only to get it killed n the House. Now, inasmach ts I cannot get it repealed I have ntroduced a bill, which has been favorably reported from the ~ommittee, to make the license n every county in the State, hus doing away with the ad vantage a non-license county has >er a county requiring license. larendon requires a license of 25.00 a year to buy seed cotton, nd the adjoining county of Wil iamsburg allows the purchase f seed cotton without a license. he consequence is, that people iving near the line are annoyed >y the little cotton traps that mre put up, and encourage steal ng from the fields. I am satis ied my bill will pass the Senate, )ut how it will fare in the House Icannot say. I think Claren Ion's delegation will support it, ince it is impossible to get the icense repealed. Over in the House the ques ion of general interest was the Lttempt made to give the people he right to vote for a dispensa -y, or to vote one out if they did lot want it. This proposition ame from Spartanburg where he largest white vote in the state is polled, and where here ofore the Reform movement got ts heaviest vote. The bill >rought out a great deal of dis ussion, and one of our own lepresentatives, Maj. H. B. ichardson, took a position Lgainst the bill, because he hought the measure would re ult in opening a way to new ections. He did not want to listurb the present dispensary egislation. On motion to re ommit the bill which virtually ills it. Richardson and Woods -oted "aye" and Gallucha~t voted On a bill to appropriate $200, 00 to the public schools of the tate Doctor Woods made a ieech favoring the bill. and the easure was killed by a vote of 6 to 36. There was no meeting of the ;enate on Saturday and nearly .11 of the Senators went home. The county commissioners nt up their suggestions andi 'ecommendations which will bel onsidered at a delegation meet rg, but as it is of public interest This is the way Dr. Thacher's Liver 'asdlood SUrup comes-it's in a yellow package. Remember and S . get the genuine us.Socca Dr. Thacher's, memo because that permanently cures all diseases of the Liver, Blood and Kidneys. Tones up the systen, too.

But Try Your Druggist First. THACHER MEDICINE COMPANY, Chattanooga, Tenn. Rzcommendations of County Commissioners. To the Hons. Louis Appelt. Senator and H. B. Richardson. I. M. Woods. and M. C. Galluchat., Rrepresenta tives from Clarendon. GENTLEMEN: We. the Board of County Commis sioners. would respectfully recommend to your honorable delegation the fol lowing matters which we think should receive legislation at your hands, and which we think will be for the better ment of oir' count%: ROADS. We recommend that a general law be passed, allowing County Commis sioners to hire road overseers in each township of their respective counties. and the roads to be worked by the regular road hands. under hired over seers. each overseer to have one or inore townships under his control. at the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners: or then that roads be let out by contract, to be paid for out of regular commutation tax of respec tive townships. Our idea for this is to secure better labor on the roads by road hands, as road -workmng is now almost a farce. and road overseers as now appointed have very little power to compel hands to do a full day's work. 2. We recommend that all persons liable to do road duty who would pre far paying - commutation tax in lieu of working roids be allowed to pay a commutatioa tax of $1.00, which shall be payable any time from the 15th day or October to the first day of March following. In case a road hand is warned and after being warned he would prefer paying a commutation tax aftcr the first day of March, that the overseer in the township be allo)w ed to collect $2.00 from said road hand and turn same over to the County Treasurer, at the same time reporting to the County Supervisor or County Commissioners the amount he has so paid in to the Treasury, and from whom same was collected, and this amount of $2.00 shall exempt said road hand from performing road duty dur ing that year, provided that the said $2.00 be paid at the time when said hand is warned or his services are needed; and that County Commission ers be allowed to furnish tools to said overseer for the use of road hands, and that road hands be required to work anywhere they may be required, in their respective townships, not exceed ing four miles from their home. 3i. As the law now stands, the ages for requiring hands to work roads run from 18 to 55. We find that road over seers encounter great trouble in mak ing minors do public road duty, and we would recommend that the law be changed so that the ages for requiring public road duty shall run from 21 to ICOUNTY OFFICES TREASURER. At present the County Treasurer has to pay $100 annually for his bond, and cler'k hire which is absolutely necessary for him to have for at least three months during the tax collecting time also costs him another $100. We would recommend that the Coun tv Treasurer of Clarendon County either be 'paid a salary of $1000 so that the premium on his bond will not so1 materially reduce his compensation, and that hie may himself hire his clerk out of said amount, or then that he be paid a salary of $800 and you provide 100 each for his clerk hire and bond, so that he will then receive a salary of $800 for his services, in lieu of all com missions, and fees for issuing execu tions, thus making his salary the same as that now~ paid to the Cotlnty Audi tor'. We further rezommend that if practicable the said salary be paid in the same manner that the Auditor's salary is now paid, so much by the Countv and so much by the State, pro rated according to respective State and county funds collected by hium-say 500 by State and $300 by county, in case the salary is placed at $800, and bond and clerk hire provided for in the same manner, or say $1,000 for every thing and of this amnount the county $400 and the State $600. CLERK OF COURT. WVe think the office of Clerk of Court should be put on a salaried basis and all fees which that officer collects be paid into the county treasury. We therefore recommend that the Clerk of Court be paid a salary of twelve hun dred dollars in lieu of all fees, and that all fees collected by him be paid in monthly to the county treasury. PROBATE JUDGE. In regard to the office of Probate Judge, we do not see where we -can make 'any recommendations which would be a saving to the county, and therefore recommend that the fees of that otticer remain as they now stand. ISHERIFF. Under the present system the Sheriff does the work of the Magistrate at Manning at the same salary the Sheriff used to receive. We recommend that the Sheriff either be paid a salary of eight hundred dollars and let him do the Magistrate's work, or then pay the Sheriff $600 and give the Magistrate a constable at $200. SUPERVISOR. We recommend that the Supervisor be paid a salary of $800, or then that he he paid a commission on all licenses collected, so as to make his salary equal to $800. The licenses collected the past year amounted to $1200, and their enforcement and collection, which has been put on the county Supervisor,. en tails a great deal of e. tra work. We, think that if the salary of the office is not raised to $800. that said officer should receive a commission of at least ten per' cent on all licenses collected by him. OFFICE OF SUPT. ED. We find that the sum of $~>00 which was allowed the Supt. Education out of the school fund, as a capital with which to keep a stock of school books on hand. is iadequate, in order that he may kep a sufficient stock of books on hand to meet the demands of the school-book purchasing public. The Supt. Educa tioa has to pay cash for books pur' chased fromi publishing concerns, in most instances a check accompanying the order. With the five hundred dol lars allowed as a captical the office has handled something over $2000 worth of books this season. and the demand will scarcely become less another season, a practically every body who now wants to buy a book, does so from the office If Supt. lilucation. Trhe capital at the command of that ot'icer is not sufficient with which to keel) on hand such a stock of books as he needs. We recom mend that the 8500 capital which he now has be supplemented with $200 moi'e out of the school fund, making the cap AUDITOR. We have no recommendations to make uoncerning the salary of the County Auditor. LICENSES. We recommend that a general law be passed, allowing boards of County Com. missioners to fix the licenses for buying and dealinm in seed cotton, as in the case now with Hawkers and peddlers. and that in no case the license for pur chasing seed cotton be less than $25.(0. MAGISTRATES. The Magistrate at St. Paul does more, or as much work as all the other Magistrates in the county together. with the exception of the one at Man ning. We recommend that his salary be raised to $200. No recommendation as to salary of Magistrate at Manning. The office of Magistrate at Foreston is an expense to the county. It pays practically nothing into the Treas ury, last year the income being about S15.00 against $175 paid out by the coanty for salaries of Magistrate and his constable. We recommend that this office be abolished. About the same condition of affairs prevails with the office of Magistrate at Pinewood as with the one at Foreston. We also recommed that the office of Magistrate at Pinewood be abolished and that the work of that section be done by other Magistrates. We recommend that the office of Mag is':rate at Paxville and salary 'of same remain as at present. No recommendation as to .office of Magistrate in Salem. No recommendations as to Coroner. The question of fradulent school chart claims is too well known for us to discuss with you. We would not know how to go into details as to what legis lation is necessary, but we recommend that you take such action, or whatever action, you see proper that will stop the payment of fraudulent school chart claims against the county. in the light of the legislation that was enacted by you at the last session of the General Assembly providing that these matters go before and be paid upon the recom mendation of the Grand Jury. FINANCES. In regard to the county's finances you will see from the statements which 'we will send you. tha t the appropriations in two or.three instancesand especially in the cases of appropriations for "The Poor" and for "roads, brides and chain gang" have been insufficient, and that the expenditures have far exceeded the appropriations. These expenditures could not be helped, and have been made strictly in accord with an econ omic regard for the county's interest. We hope, however, to be able, with the finds which will be at our disposal from dispensary sales and seed cot ton licenses, in addition to the regular county taxes, to pay 100 cents on tne dollar for all indebtedness contracted during the fiscal year 1901. We think that the levy and appropriations, as ap rear upon page 768, acts of 1891 should be allowed to remain the same for the present year, except as to the charges which we have recommended. We want the authority to borrow 435,00 from the State Sinking Fund Commission this year, as we have done for the past several years, to defriy the expenses of jurors, withnesses,etc., and special matters which we have to pay cash for, as for instance supplies for "Poor" "Chaingang" and "Bi-idge supplies," and so for'th. TIMBER CARTS. One of the greatest evils that County Commissioners and road officials have to deal with is the cutting up of the public roads by timber carts. We think that if timber carts cannot be ruled off the public roads, they should be taxed an extra tax of at least ten dollars for iach cart, for constantly cutting up the public highway All of which is respectfully submitt d.
