The tremendous crowd that heard Senator Tillman last Fri day will of course expect us to make some editorial reference, and after this issue our criticism of Senator Tillman so far as it relates to the recent controver sy, will cease. What we have had to say before was based up on writtEn certificates, news paper reports, and Senator Till man's own letter to us, and what we shall have to say now will be based upon his own utterances; this we shall endeavor to do without feeling, and only for the purpose of pointing out what ap pears to us the weak points in his explanation. In this con nection we will state that the newspaper correspondents were mistaken in reporting us as hav ing said we are satisfied with Tillman's explanation of his whiskey transactions. After the Senator had replied elaborately to one of the five questions re lating to his dispensary transac tions, he turned to us and said "Do you want all these questions answered?" We replied "I do not think it is necessary," mean ing that his reply to one of the questions covered the other four, because in his answer to the first question, he placed before his hearers a full presen tation of his side of the whiskey story, and had he been required to answer all of the questions on that subject, it could only have been a repetition of his answers to the first; that is why we said "I do not think it is neces sary." The account of the meeting will be found on another page, and it will be noticed that every advantage is given to the Sena tor. The News and Courier's account was full, and impartial, but the account in the Columbia State from which our account is taken was evidently written from a partizan standpoint. Senator Tillman's written man uscript from which he read the future policy for the Democratic party, was one of the finest pro ductions of the kind we have ever heard, and while in some parts of it there is a confirma tion of what we have all along been contending was his object. vet his presentation of it was ex ceedingly forceful and worthy of very serious consideration. We do not regard it altogether consistent with his past utter ances, nor with the origina1 principles of the Reform move ment, at the same time we real ize the changed conditions, and that his views may in years to come, force such action as he now recommends. Therefore we have no hesitency in saying that he presented ideas which we have never before considered. Senator Tillman's explanation of his whiskey transactions was indeed, plausible, but when con sidered from a business view, and stripped entirely from a sus picion of dishonesty, we would be hypocritical if we did not tell our readers, that it was the most unbusiness-like transaction we have ever heard of. He admitted that the "trust" with which he had the transaction allowed re bates, and we showed from the quotations that the rebates al lowed was 5, 7, and 10cents per gallon. He said that the appro priation was not sufficient to buy the stock for cash, and inasmuch as the "trust" had confidence in him, it sold the stock on credit, and he waived the rebates. We have no means of knowing the quantity of liquor purchased, nor did he say; but he did say, that the "trust" did allow re bates, and by reason of their ex tending to him credit he waived the rebates, and by mixing "col ogne spirits" with "two stamped liquor" the price averaged up about $1.35 per gallon. The quotations at that time show prices ranging fromS1.12 to $1.30 per gallon wibh a rebate allow ance of 7 cents, and only one day, January 10, 1893, is there a quotation as high as $1.35, all other days quoted dur ing his administration show an average of about SI.18 per gal lon. Thus showing that his ex planation does not check up with quoted prices of the "trust," and leaves the matter still open for explanation, why he should have paid more that the quoted prices and waived the rebates too'. As a business proposition we con tend that from his own showing Senator Tillman should have had placed upon the books of the State for his own protection the rebates allowed, and then if as he says, those rebates were waived, the State should have been charged with them, thus making the record clear. A pri vate transaction between individ uals is altogether different from transactions where the public is in interest, and had he done this there would never have been any suspicion of wrong To the average man the ex Tillman is satisfactory, especial lv to those who admire his won derful ability and magnetism, but we do not think his explana tion is complete to business men who make a study of these mat ters and understand fully how large transactions are made; for the reason: business is conducted under established rules, and it matters not how much wealth a man may possess, or how much confidence there may be in his integrity and his ability, every business ian knows that large transactions are not made with out some evidence of indebted ness to show for it. A man may make a "deal" involving thous ands of dollars and drop dead in a short time after, and if there is no evidence of the indebted ness, litigation would result, and then, with no evidence of in debtedness or cow-:ract, the par ties could take advantage by claiming more than is their due. Senator Tillman said he "gave no note or other evidence of debt" and he "thought it fair for this credit and the averaging of prices that the State waive its rebates." He made it clear that the State got no rebates, not withstanding the fact that all other dealers in liquor did get rebates at that time. We venture to say there is no man, firm, or corporation in South Carolina that can go on the market and make a transac tion involving even one third of the amount the whiskey pur chases involved, that can con sumate the transaction without giving some evidence of debt; it is simply a business improbabili ty, and as the Columbia State very pertinently remarks: Senator Tillman's explanation of the reason the State received no whiskey rebate during his administration of the dispensary has a certa.in air of plausi bility-but why in the world, with so simple if not convincing a defence, did he keep it hidden for eight long years? If it be valid now it would have been equally valid in 1894 and during the years succeeding when the charge of pocketing these rebates was so inces santly pressed against him. Some ex planation seems to be in order on this point. The Senator says "it was only through the confidence of George Hubbell, of the Mill Creek Dis tilling Company that the State could get its supplies on credit," then why wait until after the death of Mr. Hubbell before making the explanation, when the people were being told that his transactions justified criti cism? Senator Tillman may be honest and sincere in the ex planation he gave on Friday; every thing he said may be true, but even when the suspicion of dishonesty is brush aside there lingers a strong, substantial doubt which we. had hoped he would dispel. Think of it, a man unknown to the commercial world as a firiancier, being able to go on the market and have transactions for an institution which was then having its legal ity questioned, being able to consumate a deal involving hun dreds of thousands of dollars, without giving some evidence of indebtedness, is marvelous- If the courts had knocked out the dispensary, this "trust" that sold the goods could not have recovered a dollar, because the State cannot be sued without its consent, and Governor Tillman was not personally able to make good the claims. If the Senator is correct, the whiskey "trust" took risks that no other individ ual, firm or corporation would take, in our opinion, and the re bates which it agreed to pay be ing waived, was certainly not so strong an inducement to sell, as endorsed negotiable commercial paper such as business men us ually demand. The waiving of 5, 7 and 10 cents per gallon on thousands and thousands of gallons will sum up a large amount of money, the State of South Carolina could at that time borrow money at 4 per cent interest, and we think, about the same time it did borrow at that rate of interest. Let us estimate the early pur chases to have been 100,000 gal lons, at the average quoted prices $1.18, this would make $118,000, deduct 7 cents per gal lon rebate, and it should have returned into the treasury $7'000. If however, the money had been borrowed at 4 per cent interest as was done by the State for other purposes, there would then have been a saving to the peo ple of the difference, which would be $4,720.00. Let it also be remembered that these pur chases were continually being made, and continually being paid for, because the dispensary sold only for the cash, and could have made their payments as it did its purchases monthly, hence, year ly interest could not have ac crued. In order that our readers may have an intelligent understanding of this question of whiskey rebates, and inas much as it was left out of the proceed ings published on pages 1 and 4, we will endeavor to explain it. When the dispensary system went into effect in July, 1892, there existed a whiskey trust-many of the distilleries com bined under an ironclad agreement, and they operated under certain rules: under these rules liquor according to gr-ade was sold at agreed-upon prices with a rebate allowance. These prices were regularly quoted in the market reports. The rebate allowance was for the purpose of cutting under the few concerns wvhich would not enter the combination. The quoted prices with the rebate alloanee prevailed during the years Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and competely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.

The purchases for the dis pensary were made in Cincinnati, St. Louis. Baltimore, New York, Atlanta and other markets, and not solely from George Hubbell as would be inferred from Senator Tillman's explanation. We herewith give the quotations and rebates and will ask our readers to study them: CATTLE AND FEEDERS' TRUST-QUO TATIONS AND REBATES. High Re 1890- Wines. bate.

It is a fact that whiskies to other concerns were sold on 30, 60 and 90 days credit, invoices often dated one month after the goods were shipped, and no in terest charged until after matu rity of bills; this being the case, interest accumulations could not have been, as the sales kept abreast with the purchase ac counts. We therefore see no good, business reason why South Carolina should have waived its right to the rebates, and fn hav ing done so, it was to say the t of bill ipaying the Mill Creek Distillaig Company a cremen dous bounty for the credit it ex tended. Senator Tillman said he was not surprised at the Mill Cgeek Dstilling Company in re fusing to show its books, because the company had been shabbily treated after it had sold the dis pensary when it had nothing but according to our v iew from the Senator's own statement, the State was not under any special obligation to the Mill Creek Dis tilling Company because, if the Senator is correct that company exacted the "pound of flesh" P ry then ta had received mortaodng surour ierew fr allho Sentor' acownmstatemns the wntaea newspapers wany fucil ofbuiions andtheaill Cregad ling heemanyacti s, i nthen eedaonrfiucrrc that toughany notpedw "pun sorn ste metfom theStutan gociged soe just usurious interst no?

Every word in the letters read by Senator Tillman has been uttered in these columns and there was really nothing private about them. He also played to arouse prejudice, by saying that we dragged his daughter into this controversy. In answer to a question, we re plied, without having such a thought of being personal, and it only proved to us that great men sometimes reach after very small things when hard pressed for capital. We met the giant, and to the best of our ability car ried out every promise we made to the people, viz: to show that every charge we made was based upon certificates,-and other evi dence, we never at any time said that we could convict him but only proposed to submit the foundation upon which those ed itorials were based. If by doing what we conceived to be the duty of an editor has injured our political ambition, and played into the hands of an unscrupulous enemy, we will not be deterred from go ing right on doing what we be lieve to be right, with the hope that those who may be offended with us at this time will soon realize the trials, difficulties and responsibilities of an editor who loves his profession and prides himself on giving his readers a county paper second to none in the State. If we felt that our read ers wanted us to be a cringing cur at heels of those in power or with money, we would throw down our pencil at once, but we believe that while many of them dislike the manner in which we wrote about the leader, yet in their hearts they have more re spect for us, than for those who are taking advantage of this tem porary storm to run under shel ter.

I have not the slightest hesitancy in recom mending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs or colds," says Chas. M. Cramer. Esq.. a well known watch maker of Colombo. Ceylon. " It has been some two years since the city dispensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and I have repeatedly used it and it has always been beneficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds. It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarseness. I have persuaded many to try this valuable medicine. and they are all as well pleased as myself over the results." For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. Isaac M. Lor yea. Prop. A Card. Editor The Manning Times: Through your columns permit me to say that it is with emotions of deepest gratitude I thank the Manning Farm ers' Platform Democratic club for adop ting resolutions last Saturday endorsing my candidacy for Congress. That is a high position for one to fill. Charac ter and ability are prerequisite to fit ness for the position. The former I have: the last, let others judge. When it was decided at a meeting of distinguished gentlemen of the First District, in Columbia, that I should make the race I announced through the columns of your cnotemporary, that I would, and asked its other prospective candidate, as I thought, to present his name to the peo ple then and I would withdraw and support him with all the strength at my command as Clarendon could not win with two candidates in the field. No other brother Democrat of this county has intimated to me through the press or otherwise that he would run against me, and now that all the delegates are elected to the county con vention and my candidacy is endorsed by the largest club in the county, I see no reason why the county convention can not with impunity on May the 5th en dorse also my candidacy. If it does, Clarendon will get her Congressman, I believe; if it does not, of course I shall retire from the race. M. C. GALLUCHA T. April 28, 1902.
