An Insult to the People.
Down in Conway a few days
owiiic lciiuh, >3ijrini^; iiiinacii
"An Interested Citizen." made
an attempt to boost his "favori
ite" for the senate in opposition
to Mr. Tillman, and in doing so,
allowed his prejudice for the senator
to get so much the better of
his good judgment, or sense, if
he is guilty of possessing such,
as to piake an ignoramus of himself.
The "boost" came in the
nature of a communication to the
Columbia State, and the statements
therein were the most
foolish, rambling, and ridieuously
absurd that have come under the
observing eye of the writer in
some time. There is little in the
article to indicate that the writer
is informed upon his subject or
has the slightest insight into the
political affairs of this State. On
the other hand, it is plainly evi
dent that he is the official correspondent,
high-mucky-muck, and
enjoying the plenipotentiary prerogative
of being the high and
'exalted, specially appointed, and
exclusive, chief, squeeze pen/
pusher of a gang of Tillmanlighters
in his two-by-four necko'-the-woods.
In the course of
his remarks, this exalted scribe
says:
"While I am writing, I also
desire to say that 1 and a great
many more people in South Carolina
think that the Hon. B. It.
Tillman has fully served out his
day of usefulness as United
States senator for South Carolina,
and we ought to have some
one else as a candidate for that
august office. Governor Heyward
would be a most suitable person
to make this race, and at least
.give the decent people in the
State an opportunity to express
their preference at the ballot
box."
Tillman served out his day of
usefulness! How absurdly foolish!
Wonder if the man who believes
such is really sane? The fact is
this fellow deserves sympathy,
and we want to offer the same in
the suggestion that he at once
take a course under a brain-food
specialist. But "Interested Citizen"
not only offers an insult to
Senator Tillman but to every respectable
Tillmanite in the State
when he suggests opposition for
Tillman to "at least give the decent
people of the State an oppotunity
to expresss their preferat
the ballot box." We fail to
see where the Columbia State
hopes to hold favor with its many
"decent" Tillmanite readers and
at the the same time, and over a
fictitious signature, allows such
uncalledfor and dirty insults to
be offered them through its columns.
However, this statement,
or others similar, will hardly belittle
Senator Tillman in the estimation
of the people or injure
him in his campaign for re-election.
B. R. Tillman, as every
fair-minded mart will admit, has
done, and is doing, more for this
State, the South, and the entire
country than any man South
Carolina has sent to Weshington
in a many years, and his
friends will see to it that he is

It is to lie hoped that Col.
Lumpkin's entry to the political
slaughter-house was not due to
the suggestion of "Interested
Citizen.''
The Same Over Here.
"As a social organization the
GafTney Commercial Club is all
to the good. We would like to
suggest, however, that it would
be a good idea to have regular
stated meetings and discuss plans
to further the advancement of
Gaffney.The Ledger.
So Fort Mill is not the only
town whose commercial club appears
to devote its entire att.en
i !-? * - *
hoh to CTli' hoc mi reaiures oi the
organization. There are several
things which our club could perhaps
accomplish that would advance
the town's interests, and.
like the Ledger, we would sug2est
that these be taken up and
iscusscd and acted upon.
Good roads will lead to the
general improvement of the'
countryside. The farmer who]

the most talked-of institution in
existence.

which were obtained by R. II.

From a Six-Acre Farm.
(1. W. Baker, who owns four
acres of land in the northern
suburb of (laffney. last year
, rented two acres from a neighi
bor and went to work, and from
i these six acres, after supplying
his rather large family bountifully
from his farm, he sold
from one and two-thirds acres
3-10 bushels of sweet potatoes for
j $572. From two acres of land in
cotton he sold $98 worth and
| from his snap bean patch he
sold $35 worth of beans, making
j a total of $415 in cash received
for the surplus products made
on this small farm.
Besides the above. Mr. Baker
made 50 bushels of corn and
i_r11 i r<vv 1_ _.<? ? - i i .
IVllK'U ?JUVJ pOUIlUM OL p()I*K, WTUCn
he grew at home and fattened
with, the products of his farm.
During the last year Mr. Baker
worked much away from home.
Among other things he earned
enough by work to pay for a
one-horse wagon and mule,
with which he made his crop.
We had often heard about Mr.
Baker's crop, and a few days
ago we asked him about it. The
above facts wore obtained from
him, and no one knows him will
doubt any statement he makes
about his work or anything else.

Will Oppose Senator Tillman.
The announcement Monday |
that Col. \Y. \V. Lumpkin, ot |
Columbia, had filed his pledge as
a candidate for the office of I
United States senator in opposition
to Senator Tillman was a
decided surprise to the people
of the State. Col. Lumpkin's
name had not hitherto been mentioned
in connection with the
senatorship and it was not known,
except, perhaps, to his most intimate
political friends, that he
entertained the slightest idea of i
entering the race.
Col. Lumpkin is a confederate
soldier with a distinguished career.
He is a nephew of a!
former Chief Justice, and a j
brother of a member of the
Supreme court and a grandson 1

Wcrk at the Gr eat Falls.
"Few of our people realize the
magnitude of the development
being done down there by the
Southern Power Company," said
a prominent lawyer to a reporter
for the Charlotte Observer. "If
one were dropped down at the
big dam, where the power house
is to be located, without being
told where he was he would probably
conclude that he was in Cuiebra
t ut and that in spite of the
Senate committee they were I
building a lock by means of which
to navigate over trie mountains i
of Panama. There is no river in
?i<rht?nnlv* nrnvsol vollau
- 0>,v ,KI veil >
ing between hills 2(H) feet high.
Down in this valley is a wilderness
of steam derricks, towering
like ships' spars amid their rigging
of guys and cables. Up and
down the valley are railroads,
steam shovels, engines, rock
crushers, and hundreds of ne-i
groes at work. Out on the sides
of the hills are rock quarries,
where huge granite blocks are
being torn from the ledges to he
placed in the dam. High up in
the air one sees these great j
stones, weighing eight or ten
tons, being swung about by the
derricks as if they weighed
nothing.
"The whole object seems to be '
to build a dam 1(H) feet high
across a perfectly dry valley. Hut
if you will go up this valley a
mile you will understand the situation.
Here the hills give way
and you see the river. Across it
at this point they arc building1
another dam. This one is only
about 40 feet high, but is much
longer than the other. It is built
diagonally up and across the river
so as to throw the whole current
into t he valley. The fall thus obtained
will he something like 100
feet. This immense pressure on
the great wheels at the lower
dam wiil generate enough power
to run the spindles and looms of
100 cotton mills. The company
expects to be able to furnish
electrical power from this plant
by the first of the year.
German Laborers at B.ick Plant.
President McNinch, of the
Charlotte Brick Company, a few
days ago received another party
of foreign laborers, who were at
niipc sent to his brick nlnnt nmir
this place. The party consists of
16 Germans, the majority of them
young: men. Mr. McNinch has,
according: to the Charlotte Chronicle,
been highly plsased with
the energy and industry of the
Germans and believes that this
last lot will solve the labor problem
for him. He now has about
thirty-five foreigners at work.
Among the number who came
last is a young fellow who has
five diplomas from schoois in
Germany, hut he is unable to
speak u word of English, He will
oe a very valuable man, Mr. McNinch
thinks, when he learns
the language. He seems willing
to do anything to become acquainted
with American manners
and customs.
