and Othor Matters Political.
Trenton, M%rch 2 7,?Special to
the Columbia Record: Ono gets a
pretty fair idorf of old-fashioned unaffected
Southern hospitality at Senator
Tillman's homo near Trenton.
It is very delightful because of its
simplicity. The guest during his
slay is made to feel that ho is one
of the family, and so he is not wearied
by conventionalities nor oppressed
by too many polite attentions.
He is left free to follow his own
inclinations. If he wants to. he is at
liberty to walk about tho beautiful
plantation or stroll out into tho front
yard, where flowers and shrubbery
are beginning to burgeon beneath the
warmth of the spring sun, or go to
the nearby village, or sit and read
in the senator's well-fllled library,
where ho will always And some
choice book to his liking.
When at home from Washington,
especially at this season of the year,
Senator Tillmai^ is a very busy man,
and one's only chance of interviewing
him is to spend a night under
his hoRpitable roof. This is what
the writer did at his suggestion.
Holh ho and Mijs. Tilinan made the
visit a very pleasant one.
The night was quite cool, and hefore
a cheerful logt Are, that made
tlie shadows dance on the walls of
the roomy library, we sat till rather
late l*i the night aud.conversed about
various things, the lady of the house,
luisy with hcr noodle, occasionally
taking part, for she and the guest
listened more than they talked, as
1he senator had the floor most of the
time. Many subjects were introduced
and discussed: The verdict
in the Cooper trial, the fight in the
senate against Qmuu.'s nomination,
Mr. Taft as president arid his friendly
attitude toward tjie South, the recalcitrant.
Democrat^ of the lower house
of congress, Mr. Tillman's trip
abroad last summer, the servant
question and the growing untrustworthiness
of the.negro as a laborer.
When asked what he thought of
the verdict of the jury in the Cooper
ca^e, Senator Tillman said it was
more than he expected, as he felt
almost convinced .that it would end
In n mistrial. It seemed to him from
the evidence that .the kjlling of Senator
Carmack was ,:a deliberately
planned assassination, and that
Sharp, although escaping through
lack of evidence, had knowledge of
the conspiracy against Carmack's
life. He spoke in high terms of Senator
Carmack, regarding him as one
of the South's ablest and most brill
laut leaders, and above all a fighter.
"Fighters," said Senator Tillman,
"are needed by the Democratic party
at Washington," which was an intimation
that he regretted Mr. Carmack's
enforced retirement from the
senate,
As to the fight against Crum, Senator
Tillman said he went into it
at first with misgivings, regarding
Is as a "forlorn hope." He got no
encouragement irom any 01 me
Democratic senators, except Senator
McLaurin, of Mississippi, who promised
-to stand l>y him and did help
in every way possible. On the contrary,
his fellow Democrats Rave
cold comfort to the. undertaking, saying
that it was useless to make the
fight, but ho persisted, and when at
last the tide )of sentiment began
to turn they all rushed forward
bravely to bis assistance.
Senator Tillman seemed to think
President Taft will come nearer being
president of the whole country
than any occupant of the White
House sihee the war. He regards
nun hh a man ui largo ami unerai
views, ono who will carry out his policy
in the matter of appointments in
the South; but the senator expressed
tio opinion as to what effect it would
have in splitting the white vqie of
tho South. That question was not
asked.
Respecting the Democratic members
of the house Who failed to line
up with their fellow members by
joining the insurgent Republicans 'e
down Cannonlsm, when they had the
opportunity given, Senator Tillman
expressed himself in strong terms
He said they were traitors to their
* party's platform and ought to be road
out of the party.
Senator Tillman gave a racy d
ncrption of bis trip abroad and ol
the countries and places of interest
he visited, with shrewd comments or
the manners and customs of thcii
people. In this part of the conversation
Mrs. Tillman joined, settlnp
him right when she thought ho wae
wrong about some date or occurrence,
which gave rise to pleasant badinage
between tho two that was vcrv enjoyable.
He stated tnat In some
things the Europeans are ahead of
us; In others far behind. In Spain
i
ind Italy, for Instance, ho said tho .
farmers have few or no improved ;
agricultural machinery. They plow
with the crudest sort of plows and '
reap their grain with old-fashioned
scythes. lie made another statement,
which to most of us will be
of information, namely, that in no
part of Surpoe lie visited did lie see
any red soil or clay such as is found
in many parts of this country.
Before retiring for the night, Senntnr
I'illmsiti ir<i vr> mi ovlilliilinn rtf
some exercises with dumb bells,
which he has found of great benefit
to his health which, by the way. Is
oxcellont by bringing Into play muscles
rarely used. He recommends
such a regime of exercise, claiming
that it is beneficial to one even after
he has passed the age of sixty. He
has toughened bis muscles considerably,
and In time, no doubt, ho will
be able to compete with the strenuous
Mr. Roosevelt in a horseback
ride.
South Carolina's senior senator
and some of his neighbors have gone
into tho culture of asparagus. His
private secretary, Mr. Knight, is very
enthusiastic about raising it for the
Northern market. There is a tenacre
field of it on the Tillman farm,
and the next morning everybody In
the place was busy cutting and getting
it ready for shipment. No finer
can bo grown on tho truck farms
around Charleston. It brings about
$12 a crate.
The last thing this scribe saw before
his departure to tako the evening
train was Senator Tillman busllv en
gaged in putting a new handle to a
pitchfork. One can imagine the
question that naturally arose in the
mind, but which was not put for
obvious reasons: Whether it was to
be used on the farm or in the senate,
who can tell? But lie had put handles
to other things besides, hoes and
shovels and rakes. The last thing,
however, that was seen to bo rehandled
was surely a pitchfork.

ALMOST A FIGHT.
Fordney and ll.vrd Involved in Hot
Controversy.
Washington, March 26.?Through
a misunderstanding Representative
Ryrd (Miss.) and Representative
Fordney (Mich.) almost came to
blows on the iloor of the house today
while the latter was making a speech
on the tariff. Mr. Fordney, in response
to numerous questions relative
to the existance of a lumber
trust, was contending that no combination
of lumber manufacturers
existed.
Mr. Ryrd asked Mr. Fordney if it
was not true that a combination exists
among the retail dealers of Mississippi,
to which Mr. Fordney's Arm,
which is operating in that State, was
a party. Mr. Ryrd added that lie
knew whereof he sopke when he
charged the existance of such a combination.
"The 'gentleman doesn't know a
damned thing about it," shouted Mr.
Fordney irritably.
Immediately Mr. Ryrd made bis
way toward Mr. Fordney, but several
Democratic members stopopd him before
be could reach the former.
Mr. Fordney immediately apologized
to the house for the profanity
and suid that if he had offended the
Kciiueiuan irom Mississippi Ho most
humbly apologized. He added, however,
that Mr. Byrd could not say
that his firm was a member of a
lumber trust.
Mr. Byrd thon explained that It
was not his intention of make such
a charge, and the incident was
closed.

SULLY HAS A PLAN
To Remove Cotton From Domination

Contemplates Chuin of Warehouses
by Which One-third of the
Crop Cun be Held.
Atlanta, Ga., April 5.?When the

upon a stable foundation, free
from the chance fluctuations of the
market, relieved of the attack of
manipulation and leaving the gigantic
crop monopoly of this section
to respond, unembarrassed and unrestricted,
to the legitimate laws of
supply and demand. The result
should mean to the South an annual
saving ranging from $150,000,000
to $250,000,000."
In these plain terms Daniel J.
Sully, the man who drove cotton to
its highest market prico since the
Civil war, Friday outlined the purpose
of his visit to Atlanta and the
I South.
Continuing, Mr. Sully said his plan
I contemplates "the creation of an
! impregnable business system which
shall do away with the annual necessity
of the farmer sacrificing millions
of bales of cotton for pressing
debt, congesting the market, hammering
down prices, upsetting the
regulations of supply and demand
and losing to this section the tre
mentions sums that are Its tine in
return for the crop indispensable to
the needs of civilization.
"I do not ask one penny from the
Southern people. I do not ask the
pledging of one bale of cotton until
I have given ample good faith of
sufficient Inancial backing, from
j sources th.?t are unquestionable, to
I carry every detail of the plan into
! effect to safeguard the interest of
every farmer in the South, from the
man who raises one bale to the man
who raises 1,000 bales.
"A minimum fund of $1 0,000,000,
I subscribed by the most conservative
financiers of the United States, is
i available to be invested in such ironclad
securities as shall insure the
; ability and the responsibility of the
j plan's promoters to redeem their
promises and obligations to the last
detail.
"The people of the South will be
j given first opportunity to invest in
I Hlld I if J~?
v??io irii/jcui, 11, U|IUI1 IWlMVIllg 11,
it commends itself to their judgment.
"The backbone of the plan is n
chain of bonded warehouses throughout
the South, sufficient in number
and character to house one-third of
tho crop, and that one-third, as has
been demonstrated, will bo the balance
of power which will render
market congestion impossible and
insure tho disposal of the crop in
strict conformity with the laws of
supply and demand."
In borrowing money on his warehouse
certificate, Mr. Sully said, the
farmer does not surrender the equity
in his cotton. "It is his to sell
whenever he pleases or to hold as
long as he pleases, with the plain
business exception that the certificate
he may have used as collateral for
the loan is a prior lean upon the
bale, which must be satisfied out of
the sale of the bale when that culmination
is reached."
The company would he paid a
nominal fee for each hale of cotton
handled and in this way, Mr.
Sully figrues, a fair profit will be
realized on the investment. *
