HONOR OLD HEROES
MONUMENT UNVEILED TO THE
SAILORS WHO LOST
THEIR LIVES ON MAINE
i
Tlie Secretary of the Navy, Former
President Taft and the Governors
of Maine and New York Pronounce
Kulogies on the Men I^osl on 111Fatrd
Battleship.
In memory of the two hundred and
sixty-seven ofllcers and men who
were lost with the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor fifteen years ago
the National 'Maine monument was
dedicated at New York Friday. From
a dozen American warships, units of
the Atlantic fleet at anchor in the
Hudson River, a salute of 2.r>2 guns
echoed from tin1 Palisodes as the veil
was swept aside that revealed the
country's tribute?a pylon 4 0 feet
high, that stands in Central Park, overlooking
Columbus Circle.
Noted citizens spoke words of
praise for the dead heroes of the war
with Spain an 1 for those who live,
former President Taft, the Secretary
of the Navy, the (iovernors of Maine
and New York, representatives of the
Cuban Republic and others took part
in the exercises.
A military parade along Fifth avenue
preceded the ceremonies at the
monument. Headed by Rear Admiral
Winslow, the grand marshal, a,000
soldiers and sailors, including the
veterans of two wars, marched
through a lane formed by many thousands
of holiday sightseers. American
infantry, artillery, navy yard
marines, bluejackets, from tho battleships,
State militia, cavalry, Civil
and Spanish War Veterans, Cuban
troopers and sailors from the Cuba.
the Island Republic's naval representative?these
and others were in
the line of march.
Gen. James Grant Wilson, who
presided at the dedication, read a letter
from President Wilson.
" My thoughts will he very* much
with you, as will, I am sure, the
thoughts of the country," the President
wrote. "All Americans must
look bjick to the tragedy of the Maine
with the profoundest sentiments of
sorrow for the fine men who then so
tragically and unexpectedly lost their
lives, and must always feel that to
have been one of the turning points
of our consciousness of what was involved
in the struggle for human liberty."
It was late in the afternoon when
George Hearst, young son of William
Randolph Hearst, a member of the
national Maine monument committee,
unveiled the monument. As the fleet's
guns boomed their tribute a floral
counterpart of the old Maine was released
to the Hudson's waters from
shore. Around the pylon the crowd
sang "America".
Mayor Gaynor accepted the memorial
on behalf of the city. Wreaths
were placed at the monument's base.
One from President Wilson was laid
by the Rev. John Chad wick, chaplain
on the Maine when the explosion occurred.
William Howard Taft, in his address,
characterized the dedication as
an enduring witness to three facts.
"The first is the gratitude that our
country feels toward the men who
went down on the Maine in that they
gave their lives in her service," he
declared. "The second is the birth of
a new people and the founding of a
new nation through our disinterested
aid and sacrifice. The third is the
expansion of this nation into a wider
sphere of world usefulness and greater
responsibility among the nations
than ever before in its history."
ini8 was the tribute paid by Secretary
Daniels to the Maine heroes.
"Why is it.," Secretary Daniels
asked, "that we seldom see a monument
erected to a doctor, a teacher, a
preacher, or a statesman, except the
statesman who served in time of war,
while genius and art are brought under
contribution to give us stately
figures in bronze of soldiers and sailors?
I have asked that question not
a few times of myself, and of others.
The common answers are that the enthusiasm
and the imagination are
kindled by the bearings of men in
arms, or that it is the expression of
gratitude to the men who are the defenders
of the national honor.
"Either reason would lie sufficient
to win the appreciation of the people.
Put the real reason lies deeper than
gratitude or enthusiasm or patriotism.
It has been found in the eternal
truths to which divinity gave its
seal of approval when the Maker of
Man gave His Son to die for the
race."

on Thursday and Friday, June 2G and
27. The first meeting will he called
to order on the morning of June
2(? at 1 1 o'clock in the spacious auditorium

Watson, the president.
Business sessions will last throughout
Thursday and Friday. On Friday

the Press association.
Rock Hill has already launched a
campaign to capture the 1014 meeting
and a determined fight for it will
take place. Other places will probably
put in bids.
On Friday evening Norman llapgood,
editor of Harper's Weekly, will
deliver the annual address before the
association.
in addition to the formal program
there will be many features to add to
the pleasure of the members while in
the city of Charleston. The Master
Printers of the State meet two days
ahead of the press meeting and several
of them will remain over for it.
In arranging the program this year
the underlying idea was to have fewer
"set" papers, in order that more
members would take part in the various
topics under discussion. "Shop"
talks will feature the gathering.
The nvtter of an organization for
some uniform and standard advertising
rate will probably be agitated
at the Charleston meeting.
Several new members have sent in
their application and they will be
given a cordial welcome to Charleston

We clip the following article about
Senator Tillman from The Columbia
Record, and nvo feel sure it will be |
road with interest by the Senator's
friends in this county:
Benjamin Hyan Tillman, South
Carolina's senior senator, adhering
to the simple training of his youth,
leads a life of sobriety and industry.
Mis favorite neeupation-?for his political
achievements are but avocations?is
farming, and his spreading
acres of well-tilled lands attest to his
devotion to agricultural pursuits.
His rise in the world of politics can
he mainly attributed to his training
as a farmer; for he was elected as
governor on the movement to give to
South Carolina the "reform" or the
"farmers' alliance" movement in protest
to the rule of the so-called "old
regime".
When not engaged with his senatorial
duties at Washington the senior
senator can be found on his
well-appointed farm at Trenton,
either supervising the varied duties
of the "hands" or engaged in reading
the ever-at-hand newspaper or some
of his favorite authors?for B. K.
Tillman is an omnivorous but discriminating
reader. His education
was principally derived from the constant
perusal of good and substantial
books, from which his retentative
mind separated the chaff from the
grain and held the solid thoughts of
the authors.
Never forgetting his early training
and the traditions of his ancestry,
the senator's tastes are simple. He
is a man that is temperate in his personal
habits, if not in speech. Ho
adheres to the Roman-like virtues of
his class, and he has fortified himself
with clean habits and living.
The home of Senator B. R. Tillman
is situated in a beautiful four-acre
Ollk L'lvtvn ftlllt !lli In r. I"
^ nine 11 Will II1U IOWII OI I
Trenton. The first thing that attracts
the attention of a stranger,
when he gets in sight of this home is
its ideal location and as you pass
through these magnificent surroundings
you will come to a handsome old
mansion situated in the midst of the
prettiest yards in the South. One
might, without exaggeration, compare
it to the flower gardens of old
England. Senator Tillman has many
many fads, but his greatest one is
flowers, and in this yard you will find
most any flower that grows in the
South. Flowers are not the only attraction
In the yard, but there are
thirty trees, all of a different variety.
The senator spends most of his time
while at home, caring for his favorite
flowers and trees.
Senator Tillman is not only a
statesman, hut one of the best farmers
in the State. Reing raised on the
farm, he has spent his entire life,
with exceptinon of time devoted to
his public duties, studying and experimenting
along the lines of scientific
farming. His farm contains 210
acres of improved land. Also he has
the best breed of cattle, sheep, goats,
hogs and the finest mules and horses
in South Carolina. An old negro
said to a Record reporter when asked:
"John, what has the senator
here of interest?" "Well, boss, he's
got the finest horses, sheep, goats,
cows, mules and niggers in the country."
John was certainly right on
the subject.
The most interesting product on
the senator's farm along the agricultural
line is a 20-acre field of asparagus.

it not only interesting but very profitable.
Asparagus is planted in the fall of
the year in rows four feet wide, four
inches in the drill and 10 inches under
the surface. It is then well worked
and fertilized for three years, and
in February of the third year you
can begin to gather it for the market.
It will continue to bear from
1 ,r> to 20 years, but it reaches its
best yield the fifth, six and seventh
years; after the seventh year the
stems begin to grow smaller, until
finally it completely runs out.

these stems and fastening them
in bunches of 5ft stems to the bunch.
These hunches are then assorted by
negro women into three grades, who
pack them in crates of one dozen
bunches. Senator Tillman gathers
from his farm an average of rift
crates per day, containing three
grades. They are then placed on the
market at $12 per crate for the best
and the inferior grades bring from
$2 to $5 per crate.

PEACE WITH IIKH.
After Taking Nearly All llor Possessions
in Kuro|H? From the Once
Powerful Nation.
A London dispatch says the preliminary
treaty of peace was signed
at St. James Palace Friday by the
delegates of all the Balkan allies
and Turkey. Sir Edward Gray, the
im limn innM.mi secretary, presldod ni
the meeting.
Dr. S. Daneff. (lie Bulgarian peace
delegate, in the course of an interview,
after the signature of the preliminary
peace treaty, sail:
"1 am rejoiced. It means not only
Balkan peace, hut general peace, and
Europe Is saved from one of the
most thorny problems of the age.
"We owe a deep debt of gratitude
to Sir Edward Grey, whose enduring
and untiring mastery in treating
diplomatic problems has brought
about peace much sooner than some
of us had expected.
"The first meeting of the peace
conference has been fixed for Monday,
June 2."
M. Popovich, the Montenegrin
chief delegate, after signing the treaty
made a short speech.
"We have signed the preliminary
treaty," he said, "because nothing
else remained for us to do. We are
glad to have peace, but are profoundly
dissatisfied with the terms
we have been obliged to accept. We
have been despoiled of the fruits of
our victory. We have been made the
whipped boy of Europe. Great Britain
took the leading part in depriving
us of Scutari. We look here, to
secure a modification of the Albanian
frontier so as to give us lands for
cultivation and a natural route between
Padgoritza and Ipek."
raising grain, and on bis farm there
are many acres of the finest grade of
oats. He has a field of 110 acres that
yield 75 bushels to the acre, and if
the dry weather had not set in so
early on the oat-crop, this field would
have yielded 100 bushels to the acre.
One unique feature of this field is
the fencing around it. This is not a
wire fence or one built with rails,
but It is grown from mother earth.
Several years ago Senator Tillman,
for the sake of experimenting, planted
Japanese lemon trees around this
field, and to-day these plants have
grown into trees 10 feet high with a
network of limbs, covered with long
thorns interwoven together, like the
great running vines that stretch
across tho Ahazon river in South
America. They form a fence that
even a chicken can not get through.
Senator Tillman was the first man
to import the pure Jersey cows into
this section. Ho raises many fine cattle.
He has two large silos, which
have a capacity of 00 tons, for storing
ensilage to feed his cattle during
the winter. In the fall of the year
he chops the ensilage very fine and
places it in these large silos, where
it goes through a process of pickling.
Last year he stored away enough of
this ensilage to fatten 10 head of cattle.
He also raises very fine hogs.
The senator's greatest pleasure is
to spend a few hours each day in the
saddle on his favorite animal, "I'ompy."
He is very much attached to
this noble animal and gives strict, orders
that "Pompy" shall not he
worked at all. The latter is a favorite
with the family and is a privileged
character about the place.
Here is tho old darkey's story of
"Pompy": "That, horse wouldn't
work If he knew he was going to he
kilt. He is very gentle and will let
the senator ride him anywhere. Hut
you talk about plowing! Dat horse
won't pull a plow. One day while
the senator was up in Washington, I
started to do a little plowing with old
Pompy to kinder cool him down, and
while I was gone to the house he unhitched
himself from the plow and
went down in the woods and hid."
Senator Tillman is in his sixtysixth
year, and he does not devote as
much time to his farm as he once
did. For the past few years he has
heen in very feeble health and is unable
to do the work he once did. Mrs.
Tillman stated to The Record's reporter
that the senator's health was
letter to-day than it had been since
he was stricken with paralysis three
years ago. This will be very gratifying
to his many friends throughout
the country, who anticipate for him
a very long life.

Senator Cummins, of Iowa, says
he does not know what a lobbyist is.
Like other Republicans, Senator
Cummins looks upon lobbyists as the
real business men of the country visiting
Washington merely to tell the
Senators what the country needs in
the way of a tariff. There is no such
a thing as a lobbyist in the eyes of a
