HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE
Ho Hiis Benefitted by Work uu His
Farm, Feels Able for Bong Solgo,
and Flans to Stay in Washington
During the Fntiro Winter Session.
in a letter to The News and Courier
from Columbia Col. August Kolui
- 1 .. r?, u I
says when senator innuau icuhup
to Washington it i3 his purpose to
remain there. lie has been quite
active for some time on his farm at
Trenton and this out of door work
lias no doubt been of great benefit to
him, and he l'eels able and strong
enough to undertake the work at
Washington when the session opens
In a few weeks.
Senator Tillman is not saying anything
about his re-election, because
he takes that for granted, and if
nothing occurs between now and the
next primary his name will, of course,
bo before the voters and he has no
doubt that the people will re-elect
him.
It is a long time since March, 1 SO;",
when Senator Tillman took his seat
In the United States Senate. Of the
group that went into the Senate at
tliat time hut very few remain, and
the associates of Senator Tilimau at
that time who remain are: Senator
Bacon, Martin and Nelson.
The Senate, as every one knows, i
Is a very "close corporation," and it
Is perhaps the one organization where
seniority counts most. Once in a
while a shining light breaks in and
temporarily disconcerts tho customs
and precedence of generations, but
this is most unusual. Senator Tillman
ranks seventh in seriority?
that is in length of service. The United
States Senators ahead of him
are: Senators Cullion, Lodge, Dallinger,
Perkins, Clark, of Wyoming,
and Warrin, and* then comes the
group of which Senator Tillman is
one.
Of course, as every one knows,
Rennfnr Hnllom is a verv old man,
being 82 years of age. Senator Gal'
linger was born in 1 837, Senator
Perkins in 183 0 and Senator Warren
was born in 18 14, and of the Senators
who remain in the 1 95 group: Senator
Bacon was born in 1839, Senator
Nelson in 1 843, while Senator
Tillman was born in 1 84 7, which
makes him really one of the younger
members of the Senate.
It is because of this long service,
aside from the recognized ability of
Senator Tillman, that makes him of
so much \alue at this time and the
possibilities of his service of ever so f
much more value. The changing of j
three Senators, that is tho election
of three Democrats instead of three'
Republicans, v. ho are now Senators,!
will change the majority of the Senate
from Republican to Democratic,
arid in that event Senator Tillman
would by right of being the ranking
Democratic member have the choice
of the chairmanship of one of several
of the most important committee of
the Senate.
I?o is the ranking Democrat on the,
ommittees of appropriation, naval af-!
fairs, Inter-State commerce, mines
and mining, and Indian relations,)
and is now chairman of "Five Civilized
Tribes of Indians," which gives
him a clerk and messenger. If the
Democrats should gain control of the
Senate, which is altogether likely,
this would make Senator Tillman
chairman of perhaps the most important
committee in the Senate, thai is
the committee of appropriations
which handles the billion dollars that
are annually expended by the Fe leral
Government. As a matter of fact,
the Democrats want Senator Tillman j
fur this position and now defer to
him in many matters that come boforo
the committee, of which lie is
the ranking minority member.
Just a little incident to show how
tilings go. For many yean a bill
was pending either in the House or
Senate providing for a fish hatchery
in South Carolina, hut if never passed
both branches in any one year and ;
never got into the appropriation bill.
At a meeting of the committee last
year while the matter of pppropriating
funds for fl. herics was under discussion,
although there was no bill
before either tho House or Senate.
Senator Tillman ptiguested that h*
wanted a fishery for this State and1
wanted $25,000. The other members
of the committee concurred and
without any legislative Art the
, 000 was simply incorporated in the
general appropriation bill, and this
Is the way things arc often done and
whv a chairmanship is of so much
Importance. Long service, too,
makes such tilings easy to do.
Of course, Senator Tillman with
his quickness has not needed the
eighteen years that lie has been in
tho Senate to find out how to "work
the machine" or to catch on to a 1 i
the legislative "kinks," but lu> has used
this time In addition to becoming
familiar with the legislative machinery
making friends, and the people in
Vaskington, regardless of political afUliations,

MADAME GORDON GONE
COLUMBIANS CLAIM TO BH
FLI314CKI) BY CLAIRVOYANT.
They Gave Her Money to Double for
Tltom and She Carried It Off With
II or.
Tho Columbia correspondent of
The News and Courier says Mine.
Velva Gordon, chairvoyant and possessor
of the hidden secrets, who
niado promise of being ablo to double
one's money if left in her possession,
has departed for parts unknown, alleged
to be carrying along with her
funds belonging to certain persons,
which funds were left in her possession
upon which to work the charm
of her powers and double the owner's
sum.
She held forth on Main street here
for several days, including Fair
Week, and it is stated that she had
something like $2,(000 belonging to
other people. While it is not known
where she is, It is stated that when
she left here one week ago last Saturday
she headed towards Charlesion.
The police are looking for her
and a warrant is out for her arrest,
issued by the Magistrate's Court.
Mine. Gordon claimed to possess
supernatural power and among other
accomplishments, resulting from this
ownership and understanding of the
mysteries, held out, so it is stated,
to the public that she could double a
sum of money if left with her by
means of "visions" or some of the
other numerous ways of the dark and
unknown powers which she claims to
have.
Thus if a person had $20 0 and
wanted to make it $-100, all that person
had to do was to leave it with
Mme. Gordon, who would work the
"rabbit foot" on it and the trick
would be turned. Now it is charged
that, lured by this promise, several
did leave sums of money with her to
work this charm upon.
The madame plied her trade here
during Fair Week with marked success,
so it is said, and since then she
met with good returns. She advertised
quite extensively her powers in
the papers and drew a good trade, according
to those who have been investigating
this case.
ANOTHER LYNCHING BREWING.
-
Two White Women Attacked by the
Same Negro Fiend.
Another attempted outrage by a
negro upon a white woman occurred
at Coatesville, Pa., and a few hours
later the same negro, it is believed by
the police ofllciaIs, attempted to hold
up Mrs. Fred Russell, who was driving
near where the first attack oc
curred.
The intended victim of the negro,
iii the first instance was the wife of a
mill worker of Coatesville. She
fought the man off after having been
twice thrown to the ground. * As sho
was fast losing her strength, a carriage
driven by Miss Johanna Irwin
came into view and the negro left his
intended victim and disappeared into
tl\e woods . The search for the negro
was kept up until dark but no trace
of him was found.
A short time later, as Mrs. Russell
was driving on the same road, a negro
jumped out and brandishing a
revolver, attempted to catch the
horse by the bridle. Mrs. Russell
gave the animal a cut with the whip
and managed to escape.
gard in which Senator Tillman is held
by the officials, as well as by the
officers in the army and navy, and
with his rank, efficiency and acquaintance,
if the Democrats should gain
thread.
control of the Senate the people of
this State can hardly estimate of how
much valuo he would be.
Of course, Senator Tillman is not
as vigorous nor as strong as he has
been, but he is able to be up and j
about; to make speeches, though Dr.
Itnbcoek advises him not to do it; to
nay what he wants; to dictate lettors;
to attend committee meetings,
and to "kick" whenever it may he
necessary, and those things count for
much in official life in Washington,
where speech-making is more largely
intended for outside consumption
than it is for results.
It is just as well for the people of
South Carolina to understand what
the conditions are with regard to
Senator Tillman and his rani< among
iho Democrats, the disadvantage ot
I changing horses and what his sphere
of usefulness may amount to if he
continues in his present health and
the Democrats continue to hold on
to what they have, to say nothing of
gaining control of the Senate, and its
greater possibilities. Committee
work counts for more in the United
Stales than in any legislatie assembly
;n America..

Southern Farmers Deader*.
More up-to-date machinery has
been purchased by farmers during
the past year than during any previous
year, according to Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, who bases his
assertions on reports made to him by
field men. "The most striking feature
of our reports 1* that they show
the sales to Southorn farmers have
been enormously greater than In any
other section of the country/' he said.

Tliey Offer Lar^e Fund U Mundlo
Crop t?o That Holder? of Cotton
May Receive Reneftt of Rise in
Price, at Same Time Raising Money
For Pressing Needs.
The announcement was made in
New York 011 Tuesday, following conferences
that have been in progress
for several days between prominent
bankers of New York and leading
enrnsollfntivPS of tho South, such as
Governor O'Neal, of Alabama; Clarence
Ousley, representing Governor
Colquitt, of Texas, and E. J. Watson,
president of tho permanent Southern
Cotton Congress, and commissioner
of agriculture of South Carolina, that
a proposition has been present?,! to
these gentlemen, representing, respectively,
the Governor's conference
and the Cotton Congress, composed of
producers and business men and
hankers of the South, which means
the placing in the cotton belt States
of about $50,000,000 immediately for
the handling of the cotton crop of
1911.
The bankers, who will furnish the
fund, according to the statement, arc
headed by Col. Robert II. Thompson,
of th? brokerage Ann of S. H. Fell
& Co., of New York. The financial
support of several of die strongest
banks in New York has been given
to the plan, the statement continues.
The plan proposes to advance the
grower $25 per bale upon his cotton,
based on the market valuo at the
time o." the loan. No interest will be
paid upon the loan, the only charge
being $1 a bale, which is regarded
as a legitimate minimum charge for
expense of grading and handling. The
cotton is not held, nor taken from
the channels of trade, but is placed
at the best advantage. The grower is
given the right to designate the day
of sale, price to January 1, 1913, and
will participate in any advance in
price to the extent of three-fourths of
the rise of the market.
"In other words, the proposition is
to give the farmers $25 per bale advance
on his cotton, without interest,
charging him only $1 per bale to
cover expenses of grading and handling;
letting him turn over the cotton
to the holders, who will advance him
$25 per bale and give him the opportunity
to designate the date of the
sale, prior to January 1, 1913, and
to participate in any advance in price
to the extent of three-fourths of the
rise in the market.
"It is calculated that by the present
ordinary holding prices the farmer
takes all the chances of the rise in
the market. By this plan he takes no
more chance than he did before and
has every opportunity of maximum
participation in a rise of the market,
meantime paying the debts he has to
pay and saving the losses sustained
by country damage and by loss of
weight and warehousing charges.
"Provision is made against any apparent
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law, in that each committee
1 i... t 1. ? r>nmml{t.
ilitlUCll I ly l II CI UUTCI IIUI VI vvivu*8ioner
of agriculture of each State
has the power to name the day of
sale, if cotton reaches 12 or 13 cents,
which, according to the testimony
gathered, gives only a close legitimate
profit on the cost of production.
"Of course, everything depends on
the acceptance of the plan by the
individual farmer, in connection with
his pledge to reduce acreage the coming
year. The individual farmer
alone can make success possiblo.
"The undertaking is fathered by a
number of bankers, of which Col.
Robert M. Thompson is the head, he
being a widely known bull, and of the
firm of S. IT. Pell & Co., bankers and
cotton men, and all necessary machinery
for caring for the cotton has been
provided. The committeemen here
have been assured bv ? number the
? congest banks ir. Now Yonc o- thorough

interests.
"Those gentlemen here, as well as
President Harrett, of the National
Fanners' Union, consider the plan
acceptable to the grawers, and they
are returning to their respective
States to present it to their people,
and if It he agreeable to the producers,
to put it into immediate operation.
Senator Ilalley, of Texas, who
is here, has been advising as to the
legal aspects of the proposition.
