C., AUGUST 20, 1914 Number 38 SENATOR TILMAN TO RUN NO MORE SERVES XOIIOE TO ALL WH( \\ A XT HIS PLACE (Makes Last Request of People oi South Carolina to Defeat Hlease For Senate Senator B. R. Tillman has issuei a long adress to :he ooople of Soul Carolina, the beginning and closing of which is aa follows: "Fellow Citizens: "I was 67 years old the 11th daj of August and felt like sending all of you a greeting. I served you as governor four years and have be?"*n your senator in Washington 20 years When my term expires March 4, 1919 If I live so long 1 shall have held the highest offices in your gift for 2b years. An old man desires to thank you for your generous support all this long while. May he not without boasting, but in sincerity and earnestness, say that he has done his very best for both South Carolina and the nation? Constituted as 1 am, I could not have done otherwise. One of the first lessons my good and noble mother taught me was, "If a thing is worth doing at all, it's worth doing well.' While 1 was governor, therefore, I was governor, as everyone,. in South Carolina knows, not of the Tillmanites alone, but of all the people. And since I have beeu senator I have tried to be as good a senator as there was in Washington. A Large Figure "Since August 1885, when 1 made :my first speech at Bennettsville, I have been one of the most prominent jfigures, and since 1890 the most powerful political factor in South Carolina. From the very start 1 won the love and confidence of a large majority of my fellow citizens and it was because of the genuineness of my Democracy that I was so hated and bitterly opposed. Many good men believed I was an office seeking demagogue and could find no language strong enough to express their hatred and contempt. * ^ "Two years ago when a test 0#- my patriotism came, I demonstrated ~lo those who had always opposed me tl^t I was not the selfish politician had judged me to be. No one ?knows better than I the risk I ran in making the Ferguson letter public. 1 knew it jeopardized my reelection but I would rather have been beaten than to have remained silent. My frankness, straightforward openness of speech and honesty of purpose?I despite hypocrisy above all other vices ?have thrown me iuto many a briar patch when a more cautious man would hare avoided, but I never have dost sight of the ideals which opened t before me at Bennettsville and t'.e welfare and uplift of the masses have th/v ariililinor eto wh ir*li 4UWUJB UCCI1 luc guiuiu& Jed me on. Your faith, fellow citizens, sustained uie and 1 greet you in this farewell address with affection and confidence. "This is my goodbye to public office. 1 shall not be a candidate again. Two years ago when 1 asked you to reelectme that I might 'die in harness' I fully expected to die very soon; butt good liOard has seen fit to prolong my ilfe and by teaching me to live rationally basenabled me to regain some degree of health. Should I live t.i the end of the end of my term, 1 shall be 72 years of age and I now serve notice tupon all who are interested that shall mot try to succeed myself. If 1 li.e tunil March 4, 11119,1 shall die out of .and not in harness, as 1 have always wanted to do. But I shall not worry. d>eatb awaits us all and is the inevitable. I go the way of all my fathers and .1 try to say in all humility and sincerity, "Lord, They will be done.' "The people two years ago elected a man governor who has Tun amuck' as It were, and displayed so little real ization of his high opportunities that it makes me sad and angry to be told ; as 1 have been more than once, that 'iTillinanism is the direct cause of Ulleaseism. Aall thoughtful and in'tiiJigent nitjjj Jknow ?\hat this is only kuWf truth, and Jialf truths are the sti^ort of lies. Tillmanism taught ^01 hhJ/Io that they could whip and .

"It would be just as true to say that Democracy causes Srv-ialism and anarchy as it would >u- to say that Tlllnianisin caused HP as. ism 11a! j my health continued god I would have taught the people the folly of lUeaselsm two years ago, pointed out the difference and stemmed the tide whi.h Jones found hiyaself^vruble to cope with. r %oulu cod th<j TUlmanltes, while Blease only misled them, and all for the grantiticatfou 01 his own selfish ambition. "I do not believe Gov. llleasc ought to be sent to the United States senate, because he is uoi worthy of m- ?? ^ . * . - tne honor, and so believing, * would f | I . bo recreant to the people r>outb Carolina if 1 did not say so. But do ,' not misunderstand me. I speak rs ' j a citizen men'iy and T fully recogi nize the right of the humblest man in South Carolina to differ with me. A man's ballot is his own and no e other man has a right to criticise him v for using it as he chooses. c j "I am too near the grave to tell any f lies, if I ever had the inclination to do i1 so; I have nothing to gain by speak- g ing; hence there is 110 selfishness in t my utterances. But I love the state a which has honored me so long and in t 1 such a marked degree and I want to fl , warn our people?those who will f , listen to me?before it is too late. 1 reap"it, there is absolutely no elc- d nient of personality or selfishness in ii it. All my ambitions?ana i tnaiiK 11 God they were all worthy ones?have t ' been satisfied. Tnercfore, I .speak. fi ' as it were, from a mountain top. d 1 looking down upon my fellows, who b ' in a few years must follow me to the a grav4. If ever h man's utterance r ought to cause the people to pause and ' listen and think, mine should. For li all essential purposes I speak as one li 1 who is dead. If I allowed selfish- a ness to influence me I would quietly p work to have Blease sent here because b there is nothing more certain than tt this: While Wouldrow Wilson is n president Blease will get no recogni- ci tion in the way of patronage what- 01 ever. I have had little or none, but I would have it all hereafter with gi Blease as a colleague. If a Repub- ci lican should follow Wilson Blease pi might in a way duplicate or repeat mv attitude toward Cleveland, who at did v ' icfcgnize the Tillnunites in pi South Cafolina at all. If the unhappy Si (Jifference among our people in South u< Carolina shall continue and Blease- p< ism becomes the dominant factor in tli the state Blease might in time play a the role of Mahone in Virginia. All tn signs, however, point to the trium- lit pliant reelection of President Wilson cc and the continuance of the Democratic 01 party in power. y< "There is one thing striking about Gov. Blease as a leader and a states- d< man to be very seriously considered, in It seems that it has been lost sight of up to this time. He has been in public iz life since 1SJK). He came to the front uj the same year I did. If he is such a h< ?reat leader now, more worthy of w admiration and trust, how has he lCeaffcaate Loar.s Insurance of All Kinds and Bonds CC succeeded all these years in hiding it? What has he ever done in a constructive way to benefit the people of South n Carolina?

Washington, Aug. 15.?The Southrn Cotton Congress, afte endorsing arious plans for the relief of the risis of the cotton market resulting rom the European war, concluded ts session here last night. The confess authorised various committees o cooprate with the federal and State uthorities in their efforts to enable he cotton growers to weather the inancial storm and secure a fair price or the present cotton crop. After endorsing the work so tar one by the Southern representatives a congress in the matter of furnishng transportation for the next export rade and providing currency to nance the crop, the congress inorsed a bill introduced in the house y Representative Wingo of Arkansas, uthorizing the issuance of federal eserve notes on cotton. Later the report from the resoutions committee was adopted outIning a plan to meet the entire silution. This providing for the apointment of a committee of five memers to cooperate with congress, the reasury department and the federal eserve board to seek means of "finaning and marketing the crop, withnt unnecessary loss to the farmers." The report recommended that all rowers hold cotton of the present op for the price of 12 1-2 cents a 3und. baised on middling cotton. It urged the federal reserve board id the secretary of the treasury to lace $300,000,000 in the banks of the auth on the baisis of the cotton pro?tion in each State. It then pro >sed that every farmer should have le right to go to his bank and secure lone on notes maturing i|i six onths. secured by his cotton on one ilf of the crop he raised, to 80 per >nt of the value of the cotton based i the average price for the last five ?ars. These notes, the report recommen d , should be made rediscountable the federal reserve bank. President E. J.
