Thursday, March 6, 1902. = I It would seem that the Tillman reign in South Carolina is at an end. Let us . hope that this is true, for none of the name have been of any use or ornament to us in recent years. South Carolinians who are talking seem to be generally of the opinion that we need two new United States Senators. But the fellows who holler the loudest don't carry the most yotes. Mr. Thos. J.

It looks like the valiant soldier will have to fight a considerable portion of the editors of South Carolina, if he is to keep up the reputation of the family. Newspapers have questioned his veracity, have said he and the Tillman family had no breeding, and have even intimated that he is not a re. putable or decent citizen. !

A.. R. TERS. Home Folk in Washington. Washington, March 2?Strong appeals are being made to President Roosevelt, from all parts of South Carolina, urging him not to abandon his intention to visit the Charleston Exposition. The White House is being flooded with letters, telegrams and editorial comments from Southern newspapers, assuring the President that the fair-minded people of the Southland have no sympathy with the disgraceful performance of the two South Carolina Senators in the Senate, and they also deprecate the rude action of Lieutenant Governor Tillman in connection with the proposed presentation of a sword to Major Jenkins on the occasion of the President's proposed visit to Charleston. The authorized statement this morning from Major Jenkins to the effect that he is no party to the intended insult to President Roosevelt, and his refusal to re ceive the sword procured for him through the efforts of L'eutenant Governor Tillman, meets the hearty approval of all fair-minded people in this vicinity. Coupled with Major Jenkins's refusal to accept the sword at the hands of Lieutenant Governor Tillman is an official statement from the managers of the Charleston Exposition to the effect that they disavow any responsibility for Lieutenant Governor Tillman's officious telegram to the President. South Carolinians generally deprecate the unfortunate notoriety given their State in connection with recent events in the United States Senate. Some of the very warmest and best friends of Senator Tillman express profound regret that he should so far forget himself as to bring discredit upon the State he represents. Senator McLauriu is also blamed for his part in the censurable transaction. All agree that a great injury has been done the State by the disgraceful performances of the two Senators, and they further resent the uncalled for and unsustained action of Lieutenant Governor Tillman. South Carolinians who have the best interests of the State at heart do not intend to rest under the blight which has been put upon their State by the occurr ences of the past week, and they intend that the President and the whole world shall know that they do not sanction *?hat has occurred. To this end every reasonable effort is being made to assure the President that a hearty, hospitable and patriotic welcome awaits him in Charleston whenever it is convenient for him to be the gaest of that city. It is understood that a delegation of influential citizens are now enronte to Washington from Charleston to give the President personal assurances to that effect. As an evidence that Senator Tillman's political friends deprecate the unfortunate occurrences in which he has been the central figure some of them have appealed to him to make no allusion to the subject in his speech he is to make in New York on Tuesday on the occasion of Robert Emmetfs Day. One of his closest personal friends and warmest political supporters called upon Senator Tillman today and urged him to be prudent in his utterances while in New York. This gentleman said PS "i fiave ttULen the liDerty ot hedging Senator Tillman not to make any reference to recent occurrences, in the Senate daring his address in New York. It will not do him any good, nor will it be any benefit to South Carolina. The whole affair of the past week was unfortunate aDd can only work to the injury of South Carolina if the subject is kept airve" Another prominent Sonth Caror^an, in commenting upon the Tillman-McDiarin, incident, said: . v "Senator Tillman is going to New York to deliver an address before the Robert Emmett Association. He goes to appealto the passions and prejudices of a class of people who are easily influenced and excited by impassioned oratory and violent assault on the personal integrity of what is known as the rich people of the country. I fear he will allow his impulsive nature to carry him beyond the bounds of discretion, $ad he may be tempted to give utterance to sentiments which all of his friends in South Carolina may regret. For his sake I hope will restrain himself and remember that his rival, SenatorMcLaurin, only a few weeks ago, delivered an able and dignified address at the annual dinner of the New York Chamber of Commerce." It was known that Senator McLaurin has been in communication with the President about his visit to the Charleston Exposition, but the Senator said that the correspondence which had passed between them was of a personal nature rather than an official one and for that reason he begged to be excused from giving it to the public. But the substance of the letter was that Senator McLaurin assured the President that Lieutenant Governor Tillman did not represent the sentiment of the people of South Carolina and that he would be assured a warm welcome if he carried out his original intention, and requested the President to make no definite announcement until the directors of the Exposition and others had opportunity to repudiate it. The Senator also said in the letter that he would have called in person, but that he feared a personal visit at this time might be somewhat embarrassing. The Senatoi was urged to give the reply of the President, but stated that he could not do so, but that it was couched in the most friendly terms and entirely satisfactory. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, toofe occasion Saturday morning.to express personally to Senator McLaurin his ap. proval of the latter's course in connection with the recent Tillman-McLaurin altercation. Senator Hoar and Senator Tillman have hitherto been regarded as warm friends, and because of their radical difference in characteristics this friendship i has caused considerable comment. Senator Hoar is the arch enemy of the entire Philippine policy, and this has practically been the one question on which he and the senior Senator are agreed. It was supposed that because of Senator McLauria's attitude in supporting the Administration in its Philippine policy he had thereby aroused Senator Hoar's dislike. Senator Hoar's conversation with Sentor McLaurin occurred shortly after the Senate convened at noon. Mr. McLaurin was sitting at his desk when Mr. Hoai told him he had a statement to make tc . him and, beckoning to Senator Teller who was sitting near, added that he wished to make it in the presence of the lat ter. "I have made a carefnl study of thu whole unfortunate occurrence," the Massachusetts Senator continued, "and I feel that I must tell you that I approve of youi 1 course. Under the circumstances you could not have- acted otherwise. I saj this to you now, but in due time I intend io pxprpss to the Senate my views in th( matter." As the conversation ended and, while Mr. McLaurin was thanking Mr. Hoar for his remark, Mr. Tillman enter- , ed the Senate chamber and took his seat ] a few seats to the right of his colleague. { Senator Hoars remarks, though, of . course, in a conversational tone, were a easily audible in the gallery directly above Senator McLaurin's desk. Senator Hoar was a member of the sub- ' committee of the Senate committe on ; privileges and elections, to which was referred the entire question of what punishment should be given the South Carolina ; Senators for their conflict in the Senate chamber last Saturday, and was designat- ] ed to write the majority report of the committee, which, while recommending i equal censure to both the offending Sena- ( tors, as a matter of expediency, expressed the opinion that Senator Tillman had ; committed the greater offence. Senator \ Hoar is reported as saying in committee j ~ 11- ? that Senator Tinman nauequauy asmutu right to impugn his motives in his voting as he did the motives of Senator McLaurin. W. J. Thackston, who has been secretary to Senator McLaurin, has has resigned his position and will return to Greenville, there to resume private business. This move is made necessary by a change in the firm of Thackston, Furman & Co., to Thackston & Son. During his stay in Washington Mr. Thackston has made many friends, who will regret his departure. The Senate has confirmed the nomination of E. B. Purcell to be postmaster at Newberry.?R. M. L., in News and Courier. The Hnmor of It. Some of the civil service questions this year contain the essence of humor and may be paraphrased thus : How would a bow-legged man get through the eye of a needle? If your grandfather should marry your mother-in-law's second cousin what do you suppose the old lady would think of it? What is the average rainfall in the state of Kentucky, and do the colonels there appreciate it? Who is Chauncey M. Depew, and what do you understand by his jokes? Hard Times. We bear much complaint about ine nam life of the farmer. I think mnch of this is a great mistake. Life upon the farm need not be filled with hardships, at least it is safe to say that it compares favorably with any other calling or profession. I say favorably. By that I mean that other callings have as many, and, with most men, more troubles, trials, disappointments and failures. I mean to say that, all considered, farming is the easiest, surest, and pleasantest way to make a living in the South. Other callings have their hardships. Men get up early, labor hard and continuously, sit up late, and after all this, have hardly enough to live upon. Thousands of city toilers have no light. It is a toil day in and day out and no change or prospect of change for the better. Men whose families are growing up around them do not find their salaries growing proportionately. But the farmer can add to his crop year by year more and broader acres or he can plow deeper and manure more and thus increase his income. By studying his business he can add new and better methods all along and thus get larger pay for his time and toil. The scientific and mechanical world are 1 '* - - *? ?' worfcing out toe soiuwou ui umpiuuicwo for him, year by year they throw new light upon soil and plant, they make better and better tools and implements for his help. His cattle, stock, and poultry all grow, , and, by rapid increase, add to his income. Earth, air, and sky join in offering him telp and plenty. His table supplies are of the best and healthiest. No millionaire can procure any better. He must supply Ids costliest^vands from the surplus of the farm or g^^n.

Many a young girl is wearing theubom from her cheek in smoke and dirt in n^city and town who could gain health, bRom, and competency by simply soiling he* fingers a little with mother earth or lookingfter the house work of some happy farm mine.

Of the 30,000 inhabitants a few hundreds at moat seem to have lost their lives. The eruption of Vesuvius lasted only a few days. The deposit of lava and ashes was not very thick. The houses might have been easily repaired. Many of them stand to this day. They were beautUUl houses, many of them, richly appointed and containing valuables of great price. Had the Pom peiians no love of borne, or were they too superstitious, or did their terror at the eruption make them believe the disaster might come again? Drlakimir Water In the Navy. For many years after the close of the civil war water was not generally distilled in vessels of the navy except on long voyages. Later on medical statistics showed that in ships where distilled water only was used there was almost an entire freedom from dysentery and enteric fevers, while these disorders were more or less common in v<?88els that used water purchased in different ports.
