Washington, July 29.?"I never believed it possible that I could do it, but slowly and by degrees, I have come to think that it was best for all concerned that the South was defeated," said Senator Tillman, of f i South Carolina, today, urging passage of a bill dealing with Arlington National cemetery. "Slavery," he continued, "was a curse which had to be destroyed ere the South and the world could advance. It was a course for which the South was no more responsible than ( the North. Both sections were re t sponsible?and both paid four long, \ bloody years of penance for' their \ joint sin. It had to go, and while it < went in the worst possible way and ] its going gave birth to an apparently unsolvable problem, still I, who was ; born in, and of, the old South, am gla? it is gone never to return. I am glad also that the idea of nationality i has supplanted that of confedera tion, despite the danger involved. And so I can find it in my heart to want to make the amphitheatre at Arlington truly national in its scope." * 1 STATE CANDIDATES HERE. j i (Continued from page 1, column 6.) Lip, said the governor. Mr. Manning ( says he has had between four and I i ive hundred applications for pardons, ^ md he has extended clemency in on- 6 y 45 cases, and only two of these t lave been absolute pardons. The ?ood people have come to respect the aw, and the bad ones to be afraid r )f it. he declared. Out of the $50,- c )00 appropriation for enforcement of [ :he prohibition law, the governor g said he has found it necessary to \ spend only about $10,000. If, how- c jver, it is found at any time that the a ocal authorities cannot handle the c situation alone, he will spend every f ?ent of it in enforcing the wishes of i; ;he people. c Blind Tigers Hissed Manning. j The blind tigers in Charleston a Tuesday hissed him, declared Goverlor Manning, while the good people ipplauded him. He stated most posi- r ;ively that if he is reelected there e vill be no relaxation in his law en- r 'orcement programme. He believes t hat a majority of the people of r Charleston are with him, just as he p >elieves a maj<>rity of the people of i he State stand with him on this mat- fc er. f The governor then went at length a nto the affairs of his administration, g le told of his work in refunding the e State bonds at a saving to the people v >f $27,000, and a saving hereafter i, >f $37,000 annually, and of securing s he State loan at the lowest rate of d nterest on record, two per cent. He liscussed the inequality of taxation, p md told of the efforts of the State 0 ax commission, one of the adminis- r ration measures, in seeking to elimi- v iate these discrepancies. He also t ouched upon several other matters Pertaining to the administration. e Why is Cooper in Race? i The governor stated that two years s ,go he and Mr. Cooper ran on al- f nost the same, identical platform, c lad Mr. Cooper been elected what rould he have done? Would he have t snforced the laws as Manning has c lone? Would he have signed the c nsurance act and approved the pri- t oary law? Would he have called t iut the militia when asked to do so s iy the mill owners of the Brogon o Qills, and would he have use<J the t ailitia at Charleston? What would c tave been his attitude in regard to ? he board of conciliation, the State a toard of charities and corrections, ^ he 60-hour law, docking bill, week- t< y pay bill, and the State Hospital n or the Insane? What would have h ?een his attitude in regaru tu en- ^ orcing the liquor law in Charleston? t] Ie said that he did not mean to go d lto personalities, but that he thought he people of the State were entitled c o know Mr. Cooper's position upon h hese matters. fi The State Hospital. o Governor Manning told at length s, f his efforts to bring the State hos- g >ital up to better standard. When e ie was first elected he said he visit- s d the hospital, and the conditions a ie found there were appalling and h lauseating. He found waste and ex- s, ravagance on every hand, the paients were ill treated and not propirly cared for. He invited the legis- y ature to view the institution, and b >ne visit was enough for the law e nakers, and the measures he advo- t ated were passed, and the reforms n nade. He was balked, however, by t >eing unable to secure the man he' ? leeded for superintendent on the sal- ](< try then paid. Dr. Williams was u sarning $6,000 a year in tne prac- fc ice of his profession and he would E lot consent to accept the position for j] ess. The legislature had adjourned, i, tnd rather than allow the conditions v o remain unchanged for another c rear untilj;he legislature would meet, j le supplemented the superintend- r mt's salary by his personal ' note, a vhich he exhibited, for about $2,400. i This note he paid out of his own )ocket. It had not been repaid to lim, and he would never ask or ac- a jept payment of the same. The fol- c owing legislature approved his ac- j ion, and fixed the salary according y. s The governor spoke feelingly and a vith pride of his work in alleviating ;he suffering of these poor people, g it was easy to see that this matter t vas considered a most important one a vith the governor, and that his acts t n regard to the asylum were founded ipon the sole desire to- promote the welfare of the inhabitants of the institution. The governor told of the economy the new administration has Effected in the Sttate hospital. Up to the present time there has been a total saving in the institution of ?34,500. The additional expense incurred by the employment of Dr. Williams was $1,700. A much greater working force is now employed at the isylum. The inmates are given such work as they are suited to perform, j Many have been restored to normal j condition, and the death rate has been reduced, since Dr. Williams j went into office, to one-half the for-| mer rate. < In closing, the governor said that { if the people wanted to go back to 1 the former conditions, not to vote' j i % or him. The crowd was a distinctly Vlanning audience, as was evidenced )y the prolonged applause that markid his retirement from the stand. AThen presented with the flowers, the governor returned to the stand and ixpressed his appreciation for these okens of esteem. Solicitor R. A. Cooper. Solicitor Robert A. Cooper was the * x ?? - - 1- ~ . TT? TTTrt n ry?AAf A/1 tl'lfVl lext syectiver. nc v> as gxccicu *>j.m sries of "Cooper," and applause when le came on the steps. Mr. Cooper laid that he had tried to make a ligh campaign two years ago. He lenied emphatically that he was in my collusipn with "another candilate," stating that he had never sup)orted that gentleman, nor had he lad any dealings with him, political >r otherwise. He appealed to the >eople to inquire of his home people is to whether or not he was correct. Has No Criticism for Manning. Mr. Cooper then launched into a eplv to the questions asked by Governor Manning. He said that he did iot intend to make any criticism of he governor, and only discussed the natte/* because the governor had ointedly asked him the questions, n regard to the enforcement of law, L6 said that two years ago he stood or a strict enforcement of all laws, ,nd that he still stands for it. In re;ard to the pardon power, he would xercise it very discriminately. "The erdicts of the courts will stand, un ess I am shown they are wrong," aid Mr. Cooper. He will make no [istinction in his enforcement of the aw in Charleston or elsewhere, but iromised an impartial enforcement if all laws in all sections alike. In egard to the question as to what he rould have done in regard to the oard of charities and corrections, lr. Cooper said that he did not know xactly what that board was doing. Jut he does not see the necessity for everal boards to administer the afairs of any of the State institutions. )ne board should be enough. In regard to Manning's work for he State Hospital for the Insane, Mr. looper said that he stood ready to ommend Governor Manning for all he good he has accomplished, but hat he would not take it upon himelf to supplement the salary of any fficer unless the law grants this auhority; however, he does not critiise Governor Manning for doing so. le perhaps looked at the matter in different light. He did not know rhat he would have done in regard o calling out the militia; but if the lilitia was necessary he would not esitate to call upon it. He said hat he probably would have taken he same action as Governor Manning id. "Why am I in the race?" asked Mr. looper, and answered that he did not ave to get anybody's consent to. run Dr governor, but the contest was pen to any one with a desire to erve his State, and he has no apoloies to offer. He promised, if elect d, to serve the best interests of the tate. He stated that he would not ttack any of his opponents even if e knew that he would be elected by o doing. Would Use Veto Sparingly. He favored a State tax commission ears ago when he was in the legisiture, and still favors it. He favors qualization of taxation, and thinks hat some kind of a commission is ecessary. He would probably have aken the same action as did the overnor in regard to the insurance aw; but he now thinks that it was mwise and should be modified; and ie is in favor of this action by the PYt legislature. He would not put lis own opinion against that of the egislature, and thinks the power of eto should be exercised with much are. He favors a rating board for nsurance. He has no criticism to nake of Governor Manning for his .ction in approving the insurance aw. Would Be Governor of All. If he is elected he will never ask my man who comes to the governor's >ffice whether or not he voted for lim. He will be the governor of jvery man, woman and child in the >tate or he will not be governor at ill, said Mr. Cooper. The speaker here discussed the ichool system. , Ninety per cent, of he children of the State must secure ill the education they ever get from he common schools. He is, thereore, in favor of raising the standard )f these scnoois so tnat a cnna can ?et as good a common school educaion as possible. He is no enemy of he colleges, and he wishes the State lad more of them. He is in favor of i system whereby the State will edu;ate every worthy and needed young nan or woman, but when they are iducated and in position to do so, ;hey should repay the State, so that ;he good work can go on, and others nay take advantage of the system, rhe State should build up her materal prosperity. We should turn our >ack upon the past and our face to the future. Mr. Cooper, closed by pleadng with the people to quit fighting iach other and work for the uplift of ill the people. He was well received, listened to attentively, and retired imid applause. / CANDIDATES' CARDS The rates for cards inserted under this head are as follows: For magistrate, coroner, cotton weigher and county commissioner, $3.00; for all other county offices, $5.00; for congress and all State offices, $10.00.
