R, Tillman cele brated his 67th birthday recently, and one thing that he did on his birthday was to send out a state ment to the people of his state ? a kind of love letter as it were ? in which he tells them of his intertst in them and in the state he loves so w ell, and that should he live to fill out his present term of office that he will retire from politics. He served four years as governor, and is now serving his ? fourth term as United States Senator. Should he live his time out he will be seventy two years old, and wiil have served in public office tweuty-eignt years He reviews his careei and makes a comparison of it with Bleasism. "As for those," he says, "Who compare Blease the man witn Till man the man, they are lor want of a better term, what 1 may call maliciously ignorant." He says that he does not believe that Gov. Blease should be sent to the senate "becnuse he is not worth) of the honor." After saying that he fully recognizes and reahz-s the rtght of the humblest cilizen to differ him, that a man's ballot is his own and no other man has a right to crit icise him for using it a* he chooses," ' tie goes on to say: "1 am too near the grave to tell any lies, if 1 ever had the inclination to do so, 1 have nothing to gain by speaking, hen.e ' there i> no selfishness in my utter ances " He re affirms his faith in the people, and points with pride to what he Ins done. I This is his "good-tye" to public life. H< - had hoped to die in harness but now that his health 'lias im proved he has decided t > retire from office should he nut die before- the ? x piration of his p-estn* term and 1 1 at ho v\iil J..; o. n if harness in\t. aj ul in harness as he had txprcsscd a desire to du tvvo years ( O i the q lestion >r ej :c iti n he makes the to .o*a in^ f^rc-ful a. id timel\ Comment: i In educa'lon. io ?ODf of Its aspects 1 it lias prui?r.s>,ed iu< iv th*' au> of lis sist.r .State*; tor we hn ve denison writ VViuthrop a? model ?clio.>ls, '.lie bent of -heir kind, au?', if there weie )? s? ; s<ltihhi)06H and more public spirit Uirouhout the HtHie, the lamemubit l^nm'iv,ijce n -% existing in some seo t Itonh would ooon diHHppear.

Referring to compulsory education the Senator says: I Compulsory education ia a bigques tlon. and I. ht?v? never heretofore favored It, but acute disease-1 demand drastic remedies, and If a Btatute can be framed that will force the white chlldr'*n into school and at the same time give the blacks only the kind of training ? manual and Industrial ? which they can assimilate, it ought to he done Effective compulsory edu cation will rt quire a great deal oi money, but if jve are not willing to spend money for our children God pit) us. Whether a geueral law or local option by counties is the best is a mat ter of opinion and will have to threshed out by the legislature. FACT Local Evidence.

W.M HAMER The Man Who Evolved and Put Into Practice the Plan of the Cotton Mills Buying Direct From the Planter MR. W. M. HAMER, Several years a*o an enterprising; merchant-farmer in a small Eastern Carolina town sllppf|f away to Liver pool and had a quiet conference with to* president of a larse cotton man ufacturing eat?blf*s''nirnt. When the merchant farmer returned home he exhibited to his fellow nerc Hints and farmer* h cntirct. wleriLy he was t"? pure' lit- e cotton on !? ? loc\l mar ket, ship it to t'. e nenro t compress f nd t eu till It dlrec. to t o European fr.ar.ufucturer. Ft whp t> o f.r*t time In t e history of t' e cotton Industry that a European manufacturer and a 1jC.?1 cotton buyer had bern brought together. It was the first attempt that had ever been made to eliminate the middle-men In the bundling of' the world's greatest crop. In that contract the European manufacturer and the American producer had been brought closer together than ever before in the history of the cotton industry. ?Ab!? lawyer* who passed upon the prdvlslons of the contract Bald that it_ granted an equal measure of protec tion to both buyer and aoller. Finan ciers who looked It over Bald it was the beginning of a new and better era in the handling of the cotton crop, in that it brought the Southern cotton field to the threahhold of the European ?pinning room. But the Fates so will ed it that before the plan could be put Into practical operation death stilled the heart and hand of thia far seeing merchant apd farmer, and that oontract which no doubt would have meant ao much to Southern cotton planters became an Inactive --asset of a litigated estate. But the germ of the idea did not die with thi# enterprlalng morchant farmer; It found lodgment in the fer tile brain of a young cotton manufac turer of the Pee Dee section. "If the European manufacturer sees an ad vantage in getting closer to the pro ducer why not get closer to him my self?" reasoned this young manufac turer. "Why not buy my cotton direct instead of through the broker, and divide the commission with the farm er?" Thereupon he wont upon the looal cotton market in competition with buyers for brokers and export' ?rs, and the price of cotton advanced nearly fifty points the flist day on the irsnpth of his buying. He con tlnued the fight throughout the sen son, bought every bale of cotton his mills needed first hand from the farm er and not only saved money for him self, but added thousands of dollars to the wealth of the farmers of hfri natlvs county. That man was W. M. Hainer, for years president of the Dil lon, Hamer and Maple Cotton Mills, and at present a candidate for lieu tenftnt-govemor of South Carolina. Other mills over the state caught his Idea and tv,at was the beginning of the movement that resulted In the ?

Mr. Hamer 1b a modest man and it I j exiren.e'.y difficult to gel hhn to apeak of any of hla successes or achievements In life. It wai with re luctance that he cc-nrerted to the use of hla name In connection with thle article. but t' e only w.iy the yeo:>ie o n Ju<*ge of a n.r.n'a fltneas f:>r pub lic office 1? by Knowing what he haa aceomp'la ed as a private oitlsen, and It la nothing but fair to the people of South Carolina and a matter of simple Justice to Mr. Hamer himself for these facts to be given the widest publicity. Mr. Hamer was born on the farm and is tlie son of a farmer. He is one of four sona, all of whom are promi nent farmers of the Pee Dee country. Hia father before him was a success ful farmer, a wealthy- man for hia day and time, and could have re?red his sons In eaae and luxury, but being a man of sound, practical Judgment he taught his boys the art of farming In tbe hard school of experlenoe. After graduating from the South Carolina College Mr. Hamer went back to the farm where he oombined hia techni cal knowledge with praotlcal experi ence, and made hia lands produce abundantly. When still a young man his extraordinary bualrirvi talent at tracted the attention of men of capi tal and ho was called from th* farm to the management of a cotton mill. So great was hla Bucceaa as a mill man that it was only a short time before he began the erection of another mill, and later acquired the Hamer Cotton Mills, all three being consolidated un der the name of the Dillon Mills. Mr. Hamer is not a politician; he Is a plain, practical business man who seeks public office because he believes he can be of some service to hln fel* lowman. Having been raised on the farm and knowing how to sympathize with the tillers of the soil, he thinks the government should assist agricul ture, the source of all wealth, aa much as possible, while he strongly advocates an equitable distribution o! taxes, "placing the burdens on thosa most able to bear them, and who en joy most. the benefit* of government." Mr. Hamer Is endorsed In writing by every officer in Dillon and Marl boro countlea. fly the farmers for services already rendered. By the merchant* of Dillon and Bennetts villa for his progressive bus iness methoda. By i he banners of both Marlboro and Dillon for h?s Integrity and bust' ness ability.

"A" STEVENSON'S PLATFOKM 1. Equality for the voters of the Fifth District who are loyal citizens. They are now being discriminated u^alust lu the following particulars: (:i) Congress Is wasting ou the uv eru^e HU,(?00,000 of dollars a year lu Hlver and Harbor projects which ure practically useless to the Fifth District, and has utterly failed to comply wltb the Constitution to build and maintain its postroads. If It would sin?nd $00. ? 000,000 a year on the public roads which it uses for carrying the malls would rneau $1,000,000 a year for South Carolina roads and $142,857 lu the Fifth District each year or $20,400 In each county of the District. This Con gress, with Mr. Flnley's help, has Ju*t passed a Hlver and Harbor bill pro viding for sj>eudlnK $1)0,000,000. ThU would make $1,500,000 for South Caro lina or $30,000 for each county In till-. District. Now the people are taxed that amount for ltlvers and Harbor > and get no benetlt. Suppose our part was s]>eut on the roads of the Fifth District. It would help every man In the District. esjH'clally the farmers. The value of lands would be doubled. (b) They are discriminated again>t in what Is known as the Reclamation Service : $100,000,000 lias boon sj>ent In build liiK dams to irrigate the states of tho West. Why not give the South some uf it (or public roads? ( c ) The farmers of the Fifth Dis trict, as well as other citizens, were discriminated against by the act nl v inv: free tolls to the ship owners flying the V. S. Hag and engaged In the coas: wise trade when passing through the Canal and placing the burden of main taining the canal on the people Instead of those who use It. This amounts to millions of dollars and was merely a gift to i>eople who are already rich. Morgan & Co., of New York, are dom inant In this trade we are informed and the bonds of the shipping compa nies are held in Kuroi>e. There is no voter of the Fifth District who owns either stocks or bonds in such ships. Why tax them to give money to the millionaires of New York and New Kngland and Kurope? Yet Mr. Finlev voted to do that thing. Wood row Wil son said it was "wrung from any point of view." Mr. Flnley followed Champ Clark against the request of Wood row Wilson and voted to tax you to keep up the rich, yet when the Fifth Dis trict voter wants to ship his cotton or cotton goods or to import his nitrate of soda or Peruvian guano, this moves in ships engaged in foreign commerce, and they had to pay toll while the manufacturers of Now Kngland. New York and Pennsylvania ship their wares in large quantities coastwise to California. Oregon and Washington and hence get the benefit of free tolls If the shipper, gets any and the Fifth District is discriminated against again and by the vote of Mr. Flnley, its Coii gresman. Mr. Stevenson Is opposed to this and stands with President Wilson on this isuo. Flnaly, lie opposes giving away tlu great water powers. As late as February ill, 1011, with Mr Kin ley in Congress", they gave away to a Power CoriK>ratlon (Ozark Power Co. , a water right that the Missouri Water way Commision says will give a net income of $350,000 a yenr on the invot ui-'iit of $2,000,000. Thus tho poo| le are robbed for the rich and there are hundreds of other like projects. Do we ever hear of the congressman of the Fifth District objecting? Try a new man. Stevenson Is the candidate. ? Advertisement. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C A S T O R I A Mi Editor: Pleace annout ce Mr. W. El.
