"I hare lectured rerjr extenatrelj throughout the couutrjr, out I aerar neglected aar Senatorial work to do it, as the Record will show. I do sot * recall erer haring left Washington while the Senate was la seasioa ex* ceedlag half a doaoa times to do* lirer lectures. Then 1 went to near by points which I could reach after the Senate adjourned for the day, deliver the lecture that night and re turn to Was^iagtonjtha^next morn ing. I hare received offers time and again to lecture while Congress was in session. But I always declined. 1 could hare made teas of thousands of dollars had I hollered it right to do so. Subtle aad Cnaming. “Governor Blease has recently done two things about which I want to say something. 1 have been amus ed at the subtleness and cunning he has shown in getting out of the mili tia muddle. He double-somersaulted instantly, and was so anxious to comply with the requirement* of ihfr war department that he telegraphed hi* acquaintance to the Secretary’s demands. The mail was too slow for him. “Another thing the Governor has done recently is the letter he wrote to the supervisors of registration ordering them peremptorily to regis ter all white men. His exact words are: “Let no white man be refused.’ “I have examined the law careful ly to see Just how far the supervis ors ought to go.tgnd I 'lake the lib erty of advising them to obey the law. the strict letter of the law, and register only men qualified under the law who will take the oath re quired. That oath is as follows: “ *1 do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I am a male cltlsen of this State and of the United States; that I am 21 years of age or more, that I have reaided In this State for two years, and In this county for one year, and In the polling precinct In which 1 apply to he registered and iu which X will offer to vote if registered for four months, and that I have not been convicted of burglary, arson, ob taining go^ds or money under false pretences,, perjury, forgery, robbery, bribery, adultery, bigamy, wife-beat ing. housebreaking, receiving stolen goods, breach of trust with frtdtrient intent, fornication, sodomy Incest,, assault with inteiit to ravMh ‘ mis cegenation. larceny or crimes against the election laws. V * Might Ceu** Illegal Voting. “I am very anxious to have all white men who can take the above oath register, and thus be able to ful fill their duties as citizens. But It will be a fearful blunder and crime for anybody In South Carolina to lay the foundation or give excuse for the House of Representatives or the Senate of the United States to throw * * a Sengtor or Congressman elect- vdYrom South CarcMna because of illegal registration. The Republicans are not now in power, and the dan* K er is not as great as it once was_ Hut even a l^emorratlc Senate ara n -Democratic House cannot afford to tolerate anything smacking of tne- galitVor fraud. ‘The law ns it stands now re quires the people t" < !e. t Senators 'uv direct vote, and 1 do not want to South Carolina Jerked up for illegal voting Until v e get out primary law amended l>> the- l.egi«.a- * ture i»o as to remove all possibility of the charges of fraud and bribery in the primary. ,we cannot affprd to take any,ch&nce*. - Am 0|*|Mirtin»it) for IHeasc. »*If upvernor Blease will exert him self to see that the’Legislature at Its next session passes a reasonable and just law to Insure honesty and fair ness in our primary, all will be well. I want to emphasise this, and 1 say it with all due solemnity. “If money buys the next ftenator- ahlp in South Carolina, as It may do. and as h is charged It baa done in the recent Congressional race.In the 1st district. 1 will feel compelled to object to the seating of any man sent here with a tainted title. “I Join with Governor Blease in urging our people to register. While It may be straining a construction of fhe law in any other than a general eled’tlou year for supervisors to go to places away from the Court House lu each county. I can see no harm in that. They are permitted and <an go to any place they see lit for the meagre salaries they receive. But every good citiscn ought to see to It that no illegal registration is permit tad. because as things are now in South Carolina. Illeggflty dishonesty, or fraud, either in the primary or In the general election, will prove very dangerous. Every fairminded man wants honesty and fair play, and every patriot will abide the result of Ml election so conducted whether his aide loses or wins.” The Best Medirtoe la the World. *‘My little girl had dysentery very bad. I thought she would die. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy cured- her, and I can truthfully say that 1 think it is the beet medicine in the world.” writes Mrs William Orvis. Clafe.

He repeated his criticism of Secretary of State Bryan for loe* taring while holding hie preoeat of- Ited stato- Saya the Governor’s die aMat: ’Toe, I have noticed Senator TtU- ’a interview. The first part of It Is broggbt aboat by a statement published In the newspapers which is absolutely un true. and If the Senator had rend The News and Courier. Mr. Cold wet l** re port, he would hovo seen the differ ence. I did net state, as quoted by Senator Tillman, and ns published In the Columbia Record: “Senator Till man ruined himself with the people of Sonth Caroline in Just the same Planner, when he Went about lectur ing Instead of remaining la Wash ington and attending to the ■business la the Senate.” What I said, and now repent, was that Seaator Tillman, broke his health down and ruined his usefulness to the people of South Carolina by running around over the country delivering lectures and over working himself. I repeat that now. “I was also misquoted in the paper as to what I said about Secretary of State Bryan. I said nothing about him drawing two salaries, because anybody with good sense knows that a matter of holding a public office and appearing on the platform are not in conflict with each other, so far as the salary Is concerned; but Herns what I said was that I did not think that the Secretary of State of this great Nation should be going around a Chautauqua circuit under the man agement of some little fellow like a circus rider, under a ring-master, and I still think that it is beneath the dignity of the position which Mr Bryan holds for him to so net. So far ns money is concerned that, in my opinion, is not to be taken into epp- siderntlon in the matter at all. It is a question of dignity on his part. “As for the remaining part of Senator Tillman’s interview. I car* to have nothing to say. It shows whst I have long since said and what I repented at Hendersonville, that the old man is very weak-minded, he is now enfeebled and I am satis fied that his past conduct in his own mind, and no doubt the loss of Ufa in the Darlington riot Is also playing its part in his reference to the mill- Ug situation In this SUts, and that he is more to be pitied than to to he blamed.” at Knights of Honor Entertained Wiggins, H. C. Wiggins. July 11.—Special: Che- haw Lodge. Knights of Honor gave a delightful Ice cream supper and vaudeville entertainment Wednesday evening. July 16th. The vaudeville entertainment was under the direction of Professors W. D. Schwartz and P. R. Wilcox, who superbly rendered a black fate come dian at t. A highly amusing musical comedy was rendered by Capt C. C. Roberts and assisted by prof William Franklin. A Prize of an elegant fruit cake was offered to the most popular lady, and after a spirited contest was pwarded to Miss Annie Mae Easter ling. A second prize of a box of candy offered to the yotfhg lady sell ing the most ico cream was won by Mityi Xoami Phillip*. So enjoyable was the affair that the oarers of the Lodge have been urgently requested to give a repeti tion of the entertainment at an early date. J. B. Glover.
