JANUARY 30. 1913. j The trouble with Senator Tillman seems to be that he thinks he is as all-powerful in South Carolina politics today as he was in the '90s. In the decade from 1890 to 1900 Senator Tillman's will was law in this State so far as it affected his own political 1 interests; but this is another1: decade and another generation;1 has come on and is running the affairs of the Commonwealth. So if Senator Tillman imagines < that he can sit in his office in!1 Washington and indite a newspaper article which will be received in South Carolina with!: loud and rowdy hurrahs for Tillman as was the case fifteen years |1 ago his imagination is getting) the upperhand of his reason. There are no hurrahs for Tillman ! today as there were when he defeated General Earle and John Sheppard for the governorship and when he later had a difficulty with "Standard Oil" McLaurin on the floor of the Senate. 1 Although he was renominated for the Senate no later than last August, Senator Tillman has lost the support and well wishes of thousands who were formerly his friends, and it is all but certain that he could not today receive a majority of votes in a Democratic primary to succeed himself in the Senate. Nor is this change of sentiment toward Senator Tillman due in the main to Bleaseism. Senator Tillman has been losing ground politically for years. Old friends who supported him loyally in his campaigns for the governorshii and in his race for the Senate i against General butler have le.; go the hold they then had on hi. i coat-tail, as lie used to coi. temptuoi.sly express his apt iv-! ciation for the friendship of man: j of those who are now disgusted j with themselves for havinj helped him as they did. No one in this section interest ed in cnrn-irmwinor wlin mi afford the trip to Columbia shoulti fail to attend the National Corn Exposition. It is doubtful whether the present generation ot home-staying South Carolinians will have another such opportunity to witness as comprehensive a display of agricultural development and progress as that which is now at our door, and the small cost involved in attending the exposition for a day or two should be a minor consideration to those who wish to learn more than they already know of the practical application of progressive principles of corngrowing. South Carolina farmers are not overstocked with knowledge as to most profitable way to grow corn and the opportunity they now have to learn much that will prove useful to 1.1- - - > -? ? liidii 111 me luture snouiu ue taken advantage of. Country life has its drawbacks, but it has its great advantages which overcome them. True, those who live in the country are "rubes" and "farmers" and "hayseeds" to the cigarette smokers in town, but the boast of the business men in the world' today is that they were born on the farm. Take away the surrounding evils that beset the young men or women on the threshold of life's journey in the city, and substitute the helpful influences of nature, and you fortify them for the sterner walks of life. The Gaffney Ledger seems to be peeved over the fact that there are not enough people in Gaffney to warrant the Federal government in giving the town free delivery of mail matter and remarks "that Mr. Fin ley might be able to stir himself in Washl?1_ ? ?i. ?? ** iii&iisw aim ucip US UUl. IVIT. Finley, we warrant our contemporary, will "stir himself" when Gaffney stirs herself a little more. Meanwhile the national government isn't going to give Gaffney free delivery until the requirements of the Postoffice Department are complied with. Mr. Finley knows as much and he is not apt to ask the department to do otherwise. The Ledger, instead of holding Mr. Finley responsible for a condi tion over which he has no control, could more becomingly give him credit for holding up the reappointment of the imported Republican postmaster who has held the job in Gaffney for the last four years. Some of the newspapers across the line in North Carolina are having a good deal to say about ex-Governor Robert Glenn as the successor of Senator Lee S. Overman in the Senate of the United States in 1915. If we may be permitted an observation on the subject, it is that Governor Glenn will have a hard time defeating Senator Overman, who has made an acceptable Senator and who is not apt to be retired simply to gratify the ambition of some one else. Among his colleagues, Senator Overman is more popular than any otner Senator from the South Atlantic States. If he is not hindered during the next year or two by having to devote a great deal of time to retaining his seat, North Carolina and the country generally will profit much by his service. Debt rolls a man over and over, binding hand and foot, 'etting him hang upon the fatal nesh, until the long-legged interest devours him. There is but one thing upon the farm like it 11 (1 that is the Canadian thistle l.ich swarms new plants every c you break its loots, whose !.!ossctps are prolific, and every '-wor (lie father of a million ^eeds; every leaf is an awl, every >ranch a fix fir, nnd every plant \ platoon of bayonets, and a leld of them like an armed host. The whole plant is a tormented .vgetable curse, and yet the armor had Letter make his bed ti Canadian thistles than atv mjii ic Lo at ease on interest. Ti is to be hoped that the rVni<-?u.n students who are to ?reet President-elect Wilson with he "locomotive" cheer of that institution when he arrives in Washington for the inauguration will augment their hollering strength with the voice of "Seaioard Bill" Stevenson.
