"The Associated Press does noti
buy and sell news for profit. It
magi's no profit. Its members pay
dues. It is a wonderful news col

spondents in every capital in the
world. Its bureaus number from four
to tin men in the larger European
capita1*. It has more men working
for it in Washington than Washing

think something may "happen, that
will interest their people, that is
worth while, The Associated Press
prepare* for the eventuality.
"The Associated Press sends out
no signed stories. Some of the most
magnificent reporting we have ever
seen comes from Associated Press
men. Many of us do not even know
their names. There never was a more
beautiful serjes of stories than those

WHEN TILLMAN ERUPTED
When "Pitchfork Ben' look the
Bridle Off In Kentucky
The diHJth of former Vice- Presi
dent Thomas Riley Marshall here. a
few days ago \vas the cause of softie
Interesting political history being; re
viewed and some stories told that
Covered the time when Wilson was
in the White House as president..
Marshall the vice-president and when
the late Benjamin R. Tillman was
in the United States Senate from
South Carolina.
The man who told the stories w'Hf'
real Kentucky "Colonel," so far
as it is possible to be one with the
\ ? J u-. id law in force, At any- 1 t.r
the Colonel told how Senatoi Till
Yn?> i>i let* v isiti'd the Bluegrass sec
tion of Kentucky with a chautauoua
onjanissat i<>n, It was while Tillman
was at the height of his greatest,
popularity and he could always dray.'
Si crowd of from 5,000 to 10,000 peo
pie when it was announced that
"Pitchfork Ben" was to be on hand.
Well, according to the Colonel, the
biggest crowd the Blue-grass ever
saw outside the Kentucky derby, was
there. .There were beautiful 'Women
and brave men from everywhere. The
people of the greatest coifimo.iiwealtn
under all of Heaven's bluest skies
was there, God bless them all.
Arriving at the small town where
the lecture was to be delivered from
the court house steps, Tillman found
himself faced by thousands of peo
ple, not one of whom, he had ever
seen before. He began to read his
speech but did not seem to hit it
up just right. .The. weather was too
hot or the crowd too big, or some
thing- Tillman floundered for hall
an hour but just could not get started
ritrht. Then some one in the crowd
yclkd, "Take the bridle off and just
sav what you .please.
In the words of the Kentucky Col-.
on.1,, that was just what the Pitch
fork senator was wanting. It was
like throwing a rabbit in a briar
patch He cut loose and discussed
the Force bill, the negro question and
white supremacy, jabbed his pitch
fork first into th-.^ Hides ofs the Rt*>
publican^ then the Democrats, when
he did not approve of the latter, and
worked the crowd up to such a pitch
of enthusiasm that he (held them
for two l\ours. 11 ia &akl to
eclipsed anything William J. Bryan
or anv of the other big headlines
ever attempted. The cause ot the
senator's embarassment was due to
the' fact that he had forgotten h:s
eye glasses.
'?It was because of this trip through
Kentucky an<\ because of his great
friendship, for Senator Blackburn ot
Kentucky, that Tillman later sent one
of his friends to the Bluegrass sec
tion with a commission to buy -two
of the best carriage horsefe that
money could get. This grlend, Major
Dick Anderson of Edgefield, and for
m??y years and until his recent death
an employe of the senate, went to
Kentucky. He got two fine horses
and Tillman named them Joe Blapk
burn and Joe Bailey, then in his
prime and a senator from Toxas
Tillman drove his two horses until
one of them ran away throwing Mrs.
Tillman out and smashing the car
riage. The pair of horses was
sold and doubtless found their way
back to the Bluegrass fields of old,
Kentucky, or wherever all good thoi
oughbreds go.-P. H. McGowan, ot
Washington, in S. C. Gazette.
The Gaffney . Ledger relates the
following incident: "A citizen of
New York, visiting in Gaffney this
week, went into a local store and
purchased a pair of shoes. Upon re
ceiving the wrapped package, the
visitor asked: "Mow much do I owe
you?" C. K. White, the salesman
I named the price of the shoes. "And
how much is the tax?" the purchaser
wanted to know. Upon being in
formed there was no tax, the New
Yorker expressed astonishment, de
claring the purchase was the first he
had made in South Carolina without
being required to pay a tax.** There
are visitors to the state, of course,
who are anxious to impress you with
a sense of their importance, also
with a sense of everythnig being
wrong and backward in South Caro
lina, while it is just right fn every
particular where they come from,
and due allowance must be made for
this fact. But it is also true that
these numerous taxes on about every
thing that one has to buy in South
Carolina are not popular, and it is
also true, or appears to be true, that^
they are thoroughly unscientific and
unjust when it comes to raising mon
ey for tax purposes. The Tax Com
mission has had the good sense,
thanks to the lusty kick that has
been raised, to lighten the cosmetics
tax; and by the time the Legisla
ture meets next winter some way
ought to be found to change the
whole system and get it on an equi
table and satisfactory basis,? Ches

Earth Shaken in Montana
Hillings, Mont., June 27.'? Nearly
two-thirds yf tho state of Montana
was shaken by two series of earth
quake shocks early tonight, the first
at 11:2.3 o'clock and the second at
7:05. Panic seized thousands of poo ?

Great Falls, Missoula, Li^ington and
Helena and they rushed clear of
buildings, fearing for their lives.
Although no loss of life was re
ported, word that the tremors had
taken their toll in property damage
soon began to trickle in."

It takes years and years of practical experience to
learn how to "shoot trouble" on every make of
car that may come into a garage. It takes much
longer to learn all the intricacies of pe.troleum re

experience has taught us how to turn out good
motor oils of uniform high quality year after year.
