LIGHT FROM NEW PLANT.
Camden Now An Excellently
Lighted Cky.
The current ^as tu'rued on for the
first time Tllfiidfl >' afternoon from Cam
new i>ower plant located near
Spalding Junction., Work had been
rushed for its completion on time and
tli?* contractor* finished only days
Inter than they had promised, notwith
standing that tUey auffered a consider
able delay at the beginning on account
of delay In building of siding on Sea
hoard.
It lyis been said by those who arc in
a position to know that Camden hys
an exceedingly line plant and the mm
.yiw: is the very belt .The.., citizen* art)
delighted with the well lighted streets
and large crowds have been strolling to
the picture theatres since tile new plant
took charge. For .twenty years the
lighting system of Camden has been a
proposition, The old company and the
elty have had many ups and downs.
The power plant has been twice de
stroyed and each time the city loft
without water, lights and tire protec
tion, and it is a great relief it) know
that- the service will now be a depend
able one.
All streets present a brilliant scene
? especially on the white way ? lighted
by cluster* of five .Doric lights. Op
the other streets there are all told 215
lamps of iOo candle power each at
distances of 200 feet apart all In line
making a pretty scene. Those are not
the old style arc lights blit the Nitro
Tungsten? the tirst of their kind In
the South- '
At the 'power plant there remains
only a small amount of work to do such
as finishing the floors and the like be
fore the plant will be turned over to
the Commissioners.
The electric pumps at the auxiliary
[station on idcey's (.'reek were put in
| operation for the tirst time on \Vedij.es
j day and worked nicely. This water
j will pass through a ltlter plant of one
! million gallon capacity daily, and from
' there sent to the immense standpipe on
I.Tumelle Hill. 100 feet high and 20 feet
in diameter, having a capacity of
2o0.000 gallons. The pressure from the
standpipe alone will afford excellent
lire protection, bfit In addition there
are two fire pumps which can be put
into service on short notice.
The new plant was built by the
Tucker and J.axton Co., of Charlotte.
X. urider the direction of Mr. Tliad
Harrison, and a corps of assistants,
who have worked diligently to com
plete it on time. The original cost
was placed at $125,000, but some ad
ditions inv^ the way of extra engines
and other things to make the plant
more complete have been added.
Election Returns at Air Dome.
The managers of the Air Dome Mo
tion picture theatre have made arrange
meats to display on the screen at their
theatre the returns from the state prl
raary on the night of Tuesday, August
25th. The regular price of admission
will prevail and a program of good
pictures will l>e shown.
l/VriULMAN'S FAREWELL.
Will Not Stand for Re-Election
Do?? Not Favor Blease.
(IV II. MiImiwiiiI ill Columbia State) ,
Washington, Aug. W.? Senator I4'
Tillman. today announcing that lit*
would not nguin l>e<H>iue a candidate for
the senate, gave out tlti? following sign* j
t'd si It t Cllli-ll t
"Follow < 'll i/.fiis :
"I wiitf 07 yea r# < *i< l t in* nth < in >
of August and f*'l I like sending nil of
you a greeting. I served you a* gov
ernor four years and have been your
ieQatof .In Washington 20 year*. \Vlioi)
my t erni expire.-, March 1, 101(1, If I
live s?? long, I shall have held the
highest ollice in your gift for 'JK years.
An old man desires to thank you for
yonr generous support all this long
while. ,. May he not, without boasting,
hut In ?dneerity and earnestness, sav
that he has done his very best for both
fcf>Uth Carolina and tlie natlonV ('mi
stltutfil UN 1 hiii. 1 could not have done
otherwise. One of the tirst lessons
my good apd noble mother taught me
was, 'It' a thing is worth doing at all
it Is worth doing well.' Wldle 1 was
governor, therefore,'"} was governor, as
e\ery one in South Carolina knows,
not ??f the Tillmanltes alone, hut of all
the people. And since I have been
senator 1 have tried to Ih> as good a
senator as there was in Washington.
A Large Figure.
"Since August. 1SS5, when I made
my tirst spee<h nf lleiinettuvllie, I have
hee.li ojie of the most prominent lig, tires,
and since 181)0 tlie most powerful po
litical factor in South Carolina, From
the very start 1 won the lovo and eon-,
tldence of a large majority of my 'fellow
cUlsiens .ami it. was because of the
genuineness of my Ueinoeraey that 1
was s?? hated and hitrerly Opposed".
Many good men believed I was an
otlice seeking demagogue and eould find'
no language strojig enough to express
their hatred and contempt.
Two. years ago when a test ofm y
patriotism came. I demonstrated to
those who Inn I always opposed me that'
I was not the selllsh politician they
had judged lite to lie. one knew
better than 1 the risk 1 ran in mak
ing the Ferguson letter public. I knew
it jeopardized my reelection but I
would rather have been beaten than
to have remained silent. My frankness,
straight forward openness of speech and
honesty of purpose? I despise hypocri
sy above all r?Ther vices ? have thrown
me into many a briar patch when a
more cautious man would have avoid- 1
ed, but I never have lost sight of the;
ideals which ojieiieil before me at Ben
nettaville and the welfare and uplift
of the masses have always been the
guid&m star .which led me on. Your
faith, fellow citizens, sustained me. and
1 greet you in this farewell address
with affection and confidence.
"This i< my good-bye to public of
fice. I shall not be a candidate again.
Two years ago when I asked you to
reelect me that I might 'die In har
ness' I fully expected to die very soon ;
bur the good "Lord has seen lit to pro
long my life and by teaching me to live
rationally has enabled me to regain
some degree of health. Sl&uld I live
to the end of my term, 1 shall bo 72
years of age and 1 now serve notice
upon all who are interested* that I
shall not try to succeed iftyself. If I
live until March 4. 1011). I shall die
out of and not in harness, as I have
always wanted to do. But I shall not
'worry. Death awaits us all an<J/ is
inevitable. I go the way of all my
fathers, and I try to say in all humil
ity and sincerity, "Lord, Thy will be
done.'
Hopes for Best.
"For four years at least many men
in South Carolina have had their eyes
on the seat I held. This Is natural
i>ecnu8e of my illness and the eppnc*
tation of my early death. Ther6 htM
been some discussion of it in the news

hols* I may bo permitted to say a few
Words about tin- present situation lu
oil I State without hcilhf misunderstood.
It gives im' deep concern, 1 ii in mot'
titled and disappointed that t h?* prt?
ilia ry system lias failed to develop In
the people s.iltllciclit politic-ill Intelli
gence to enable thorn to esrape the
W.HlJtt OJUU ti i' i^ of An

with it striking personality, have madel
tile- people an easy prey. Instead of!
candidates being compelled to discuss
public questions and policies, they have
lieen allowed to make aplKuils. to preju*
dice. and the people, blinded- by these
ai1>s. have followed and made her?>es
of i ii4* 1 1 who are wholly unworthy. I
have been and still am nrmseil of In
augurating this method of campaign
ing. I eha lleilge the product I < >11 Of ;i
single speech 4 ?f mine wherein l de
parted from the discussion of public
issues or-* Indulged In unparllnientary
language until forced to do so by unfair
opponents. -The mole bitter enemies
of the reform movement began the vlt
up 'ration and abuse tb.it have .marked
South ( 'a rolina politics since l.sno. They
they greeted truth with sliow'ors of mud
mill tilth: and they, not I must bear
the responsibility.
Still Has Confidence,
'"No years jigo I lamented tiie same
thing, and sah) I doubted whether 1
had not made a mistake in giving the
people the ballot and teaching lliem
how to ? um> it. Hut 1 was impatient.
I here reallifin my confidence in the
people---alI the people collectively. I
believe that the judgment of the whole
people-**-- rich and poor, educated and
ignorant, high and low is the surest
ami truest guide to political action,
illielr mistakes will be fewCj* and Will
be 111 o re quickly mended than will the
errors of any one class. be it ever so
enlightened. I believe this so religious
ly that I would rather have a bad
governor or a (?ad senator elected by
all the people than a good one elected
by any one class. The whole people
correct their blunders: the rule of a
class tends to the growth and perpet
uation of abuses. I have implicit faith
that all the people of South Carolina I
are going to stamp out nieaselsni soon
er IrttiMV The strongest Hletweltes
will be leaders an soon as they are
convinced that they have made a mis
take. If I did not believe this, I would
lose all faith In self-government.
".Jefferson's slogan was. "Teach the
people and trust the people.* To this
principle all patriots will give credence,
ainl All Democrats will gladly obey.
When the demagogue comes along and
blinds the people by the glamor of Ills
arts and instills deviltry and i>oisnu In
to their minds, good citizens must not
despair, but redouble their effort* ; for
the truth Is more- powerful than false
hood and must prevail in the long run.
"Again I reaffirm my faith In the
I>eoplo: The battle between privilege
and freedom, between equality and
favoritism, is world-wide, and ages old.
It has brought the cataclysm which
we are witnessing in Europe today.
The people of that continent are strut
ting to free themselves from the sliac*
les of autocracy and the divine right
of kings. It Is a battle lietween autoc
racy and republicanism. The contest
In South Carolina In 1WH1 was to over
throw an arlstrocracy which had come
jdown to us from colonial days.
The Rest Revolt.
"It was a real revolution, In which
families were divided, father against
son, ami brother. against brother, show
ing that principle, and principle alone,
moved the people to action. It was
my high privilege to lead that move
ment which emancipated South Caro
lina from the thraldrmn of an oligarchy
which had ruled the State for a cen
tury.
"This was my greatest work. I
taught South Carolinians to know their
rights and how to obtain these rights,
and the State has made marvelous
progress in every way. In education,
In some of Its aspects, It has progress
ed more than any of its sister States ;
for we have Clemson and Wlnthrop as
model schools, the best of their kind,
and, if there were less selfishness and
more public spirit throughout the State,
the lamentable ignorance now existing
in some sections would soon disappear.
But our common schools iu many coun
ties are sadly deficient, and must be
improved. A Democracy without ade
quate means for educating its citizens
is bound to he shipwrecked. We can
not afford to let our children grow up
like weeds. If we do, Ignorance will
choke out all that is beat in our people
and destroy our civilization. The State
in self-defense, <lf for no higher rea
son, will, somehow or other, have to see
to it that all the white children get at
least the rudiments of an education.
Compulsory education Is a big question,
and I have never heretofore favored
it, but acute diseases demand drastic
remedies, and If a statute can be fram
ed that will force the white children
Into school and at the same time give
the blacks only the kind of training
? manual and industrial? which they
can assimilate. It ought tq be done.
Effective compulsory education will re
quire a great deal of money, but if we
are not willing to spend money for our
children God pity us. Whether a gen
eral law or local option by counties
is the l>est is a matter of opinion and
will have to l>e threshed out by the
legislature.
Their Mistake.
