TILLMAN'S LETTER
Tb? Scntttor in a Kopty to a Letter
From ? Citizen o? WUliston, Stated
llis lleason.s for Volinn for a
Duty ou Ore?Claims There Ar*
No "lndeprudcuts."
Senator Tillman has just received
u letter from W. C. Smith, of "Wll
list on, asking the Senator to explain
why lie voted for a duty on iron ore.
Tlite letter is aa follows:
"WlllLstou, May 27th, 1505.
Senator 11. K. Tillman. Wasbingtou,
D. C.?Dear Senator. Having
always been a "Tlllmanita" at the
Lallot box. I am emboldened to ask
if you have ever stated your roaso-.
for voting lor a duty on iron or?
mul if such ??atemeut is In prla*.,
i bat you u.ii send it to me. I am
curious to know why. Youi^a truly.
"W. C. SMITH."
To which Senator Tillman replied:
"Your letter of May 27th has remained
uuauswered simply because
I have been overwhelmed with work i
here, and have spout several days in j
South Carolina, looking after matters
at Cloinson, and lost one day as
I returned by reason of a railroad !
wreck.
"I have never printed anything
about, my vote on Iron ore. and will j
very gladly give you an explanation !
direct. 1 notice that my old enemies
are making a great howl about j
my votes up hero, while many others
who have not been enemies are
yelping in chorus, simply because
they are Ignorant of conditions. The
trouble with many editors in South j
o?i.#kitnn i?j thev take and read the |.
Associated Press dispatches, which
are colored lu behalf of the Repub- I
I lean party, uud are garbled and (
condensed, and give no adequate
conception of things ae they really
happen.
The facts In regard to iron ore are .
simply these: There is overwhelming
evidence that there a-re no in^
dependent steel or iron producers.
The Steel Trust has absolute control
and enjoys a monopoly of the iron
nod steel business In this country. ,
The oo-called independent concerns
are dominated and controlled by it,
though not all owned by it. The
I Steel Trusts luces prices and the
others conform.
"There are Immense, trell-night
inexhaustible deposits of iron ore In
Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota,
and the Steel Trust oontrols im
ioense deposits In those States. It
I v also controls, or some of its subsidary
companies do, large deposits
I in Cuba. It was brought out in the
debate, that some of the Eastern
companies have contracts with the
Cuban mine owners, to Import wot
less than a million tons a year of :
Cuban ore, and I do not think it I
worth while to let this como in free j
when it would make no difference
whatever to the consumers of iron
and steel as to the price we would I
pay for those articles. 1 believe that I
the American producers of Iron ;uu1 !
steel I that Is the Steel Trust mainf
ly), can compete with England, Germany
'and France in the markets of j
the world, and that the whole scheme
of protection of manufactured steel
is a bare faced robbery of the Amor
lean people. No one but an idiot
will Increase th*? price of anything
manufactured of iron, to the American
consumer. If we could reduce '
the tariff on manufarctured iron we
could get cheaper prices, but under
existing circumstances the tariff law
bars out the Kuropean competitor,
who is already handicapped by having
the ocean freights to pay, and
our people are charged the cost of
production in Kurope, plus the
freight, plus the tariff, and this is
I the source of Carnegie's millions.
Assuring you of my high appreciation
of your friendship in the past,
| and hoping to continue to merit your
K confidence, and support, I am,
R "Rtncerely yours,
I "11. R. TILLMAN.

BUYS ANOTHER ROAD
GBORG1A CKXT1UL IS TRANSPHRRKD
TO UAlUiUUA.
He Paja Tbrm MflUoas for Stock of
the Far Value of Fire Million's
at Per Share.
The sale of the Central of Georgia
Railway to the Illinois Centrul
Railway, carrying out plans forecasted
more thau a year ago. wus
announced Wednesday. The transaction
originated in negotiations culminating
in November, 11>07, when
the entire capital stock ol the Ceutral
of Georgia passed into the hands
of Will. Nelson Cromwell and John
W. Castles. The purchase, It was
announced a few months later, was
tor K. H. Harriman, whose intention,
It was then stated. was to transfer
it to the Illinois Central. The price
paid by the Illinois Central was cot
Riven out.
Announcement of the transfer was
mode in New York by .John K. Hanson,
of Atlanta, president of the
Centra! of Georgia. The price paid
by >Ir. Harrimun for the stock, to
the par value of $."(,000,000, it was
stated, was $.1,000,000, or at the rate
of $60 p*'r share.
The entire capital stock of the
Central of G?*orgitt was originally
held by the reorganization committee
of the Richmond and West Point
Terminal Railroad and Ware House
Company. In June, 1 907, the stock
was sold to Oakleigh Thome, of
New York, and Marsden J. Perry, of
Providence, it. I , who agreed to
retain voting control for at least
two years. It was from those gentlemen
that Messrs. Cromwell and Castles
secured the stock, and they sold
it to Mr. Harrimnn.
The transfer of the Central of
Georgia carries with it the control
of two steamship lines, one from Savannah
to New York, and the other
from Savannah to Boston, operated
by the Ocean Steamship Company.
The Central of Georgia operates a
little over 1,9 00 miles of road. Its
system touched that of the Illinois
Central at Rirmingham, Ala.

Negro Kouh?1 Guilty at Aikra of Setting
Kirs to a Ram.
A dispatch from Aiken nays
Wednesday ni?ht the jury in the case
of the State aguiust Moses Stevens,
charged with arson, returned a verdiet
of guilty, which carries with it
a sentence of death. This case has
created a great deal of interest, sis
this is the second conviction for the
burning of the barn of Mrs. M. C.
Moseley. About three years ago her
barn was burned' under suspicious'
circumstances, and a negro was triced
and convicted of the crime of burning
the building. He Is now serving
a sentence of twenty years in the
State Penitentiary.
Last, summer the barn on Mrs.
Moseley's place was again razed to
the ground by lire, in the early part
of the night. The burning was
again under suspicious circumstances,
and detectives were put on the
case. Stevens was arrested, as was
aho Henry Clark, another negro.
They were held for several weeks,
and then released for want of sufficient
evidence to convict. The case
was given up for the time being,
hut later?this spring-?evidence
cropped out against Stevens, and detectives
were again employed, with
the result that. Moses Stevens was
again arrested.
The* trial consumed all Tuesday.
Th?* main witnesses were the wife
and mother-in-law of the defendant,
both of whom testified that Moses
told them ho committed the crime.,
and that he attempted to commit
suicide at the time, by attempting
to shoot himself, and then tried
to cut his throat, the knife being
taken away from him, .and then he
threw himself against a wall several
times. They said he told them he
had poured oil on the pea heap in
the loft of the barn and set fire
to it, because he had gone to Mrs.
Moseley to borrow some money, and
she refused him, and he did it for
revenge. The defence, conducted by
W. M. Smoak, Esq.. attempted to
show that these witnesses, as was
also George Washngton, father-inlaw
of the defendant, were prejudiced
because they had fallen out with
him, and were attempting to get
him out of the way.
Stevens has not yet been sentenced
and it is probable thnt the case
will he appealed. The crime carries
the death sentence because of the
close proximity of the barn to the
residence of Mrs. Moseley.
Going for Calhoun.
Prosecuting Attorney Henry is laying
it heavy on Pat Calhoun in San
Francisco graft cases. He says that
every nair on uainoun s neaa is gunty
and that there is evidence enough
against the South Carolinian to sink
him into the bottomless pit. *

BENEFIT OF 1RUS1S
I ??
Senator llacon, ot Georgia* Giros
Some Startling Facta a* to How
the Masses of tue People are HcUl
I'p and Kobbcd lader Fotin of
Law.
On May 7 in the discussion of the
tariff bill Senator A. O. Bacon made
an argument which will be the death
knell of the tariff system whe? the
people shall once clearly understand
! it. The senator had shown how in
the higher price of good.-; due to the
tariff duties the people are made to
pay $2.000,000,000 a year to earlch
favored corporations and indlvldtuls,
and the Republican members, exolted
by the fearful arraignment of the
tariff that was being made, were plying
the senator with a rapid tire of J
questions. But unconcerned thereby.
Senator Bacon continued:
"In considering the protective
tariff senators lose sight of two great
questions. One is: What is best
it) order to raise revenue for the government?
The others is: Who pays
this money? The great cotton industry
of the South, makingl 3,000,- j
000 hales of cotton, which preserves j
the balance of trade between this
country and Huropc, brings into this
country every year in gold, or keeps
gold from going out of the country
through hills of exchange more j
money nearly twice over than all the
gold that is mined in all the mines
j of all the world each year.
"What possible excuse can be givI
en that this immense industry shall
| be required to pile up here in this
chamber, not only for once but for
every year, its r??i?t proportion of
this two tlit) vi sand million dollars
of tariff tax, and say that it shall
be distributed without return as a
bonus to other parties, who are
i either unable to live upon the profits
[of their own business, and who demand
that the public shall contribute
out of their pockets that which is
| necessary thus either to reserve them
j or to still further enrich them?
"Suppose that instead of this indirect
way of collecting money aud
paying it over to the favored Industries,
we, hero sitting in our sovereign
law-making capacity wer? to
determine, so far as it could be dono
under constitutional limitations, that
a taji fatherer should be appointed j
by tbe law of congress, and that he I
should proceed through the country '
to levy and collect this two thousand
million dollars, and have it said
by this tax gatherer, as he took this
tribute from men tolling with brain
and muscle, 'this is not for the government,
nor a dollar of that will
go to the public treasury, it is to
be carried to Washington and piled
up in front of the secretary's desk
in the senate chamber, to be distributed
by the senate to private
parties to aid them in their private
personal buslnehs.'
"And after It has been thus collected
from the people by the ta?\gatherer
and piled up in a great
heap in this chamber, suppose that
we should then be sarrounded in all
these lobbies and hotels with men
engaged in other branches of industry,
and that they should importune
us that this money should be
given to them for their private gain,
that wo should listen to thein and
to their demands, that the Republican
senators should hear them In
bosom talks in the secret conclave
in that marble palace of which 1
have spoken, and to which the senator
from Iowa alluded day before
yesterday, and according as this one
might have political influence, or
that one might have power, or that
one might excite pity, and thus secure
the recommendation of the Republican
members of the finance
committee in favor of this one, that
and the other, this two thousand million
of dollars, gold dollars, thus
gathered out of the toll of the American
people, should be put In bags
and handed out to them at the door
ci the senate chamber, and they
should walk away with it - each on"
of them taking in his hand his bag

Columbia.
The derailing of an extra freight,
No. 2 75, at Ktyx, a few miles south
of Columbia on the Savannah line
of the Southern railway Thursday
morning about 10 u clock, caused
the death of Engineer W. II. TurneJ
1 of Columbia and Fireman .1. Y.
Carlisle, a native of Fairlleld, but a
' resident of Columbia, his home being
directly opposite that ot Lugineei
Turner on east Lau:^! stuet.
Jnst how the derailment occurred
' will probably never be known, but
it was thought to be due to a de'
fective tie or rail caused ou account
of the rains. The engine and about
IS cars turned over and several
' others left the track. Engineer
) Turner was fatally injured and lived
but a short time and Fireman Car'
lisle was buried under the werckage,
! his hody not being taken out until
several hours .afterwards.
As soon as th<i news was received '
in Columbia a relief train was made
k up and s?-nt from Columbia to ?he
wreck. Here passengers on train No.
13 1 from Augusta were transferred
and the remains of Kngineer Tinner
carried to Columbia and turned over
to Undertaker Van.Metre.
Engineer Turner was one of the
most popular men in the employ of
1 the Southern. lie is survived by a
wife and four children. He was a
member of tho Richland lodge of
1 .Masons and of the local order of the
' Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.
The funeral was heJJ at the
residence, 2315 Laurel street, at
1 4:30 o'clock Friday afternon and
the interment was made at Elm wood
* cemetery with Masonic rumors.
1 The body of .1. Y. Carlisle was
taken to Wlnnsboro for burial. Mr.
' Carlisle was a member of the Hrotht

ruooa 01 liocoroonvr; Mivinen and I
' well known throughout th?? Stuto. I
llis body was buried under a mass |
of debris and was badly mutilated. ;
It was necessary for tbe wrecking
crew to work several bonis before
he could be located and ono of the
remarkable discoveries made wbci)
* his body was removed was that his
watch was uninjured and still running.
Almost every part of his body
was covered with wreckage but hif

j was instantaneous.
The news of the accident spread
quickly and many expressions of
sympathy were heard for tbe family
of the railroad men who met sudden
death. It is the first fatal acs
