Jim Tillman is swiftly following
in the steps of his illustrious uncle
The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record writes us
follows:
“As President of the South Caro
lina Senate Mr. Tillman made a rul
ing that a ‘motion to postpone in
definitely was not debatable.’ His
ruling was questioned, and he re
ferred the matter to Senator Frye and
SpeaKer Henderson. They decided
that he was in error, and that tbe
motion is debatable under the ru! s
of the Senate.
“Instead of accepting the decision
ofjthe two referees as conclusive, Mr.
Tillman announced to his friends
that Senator Frye and Speaker Hen
derson had sustained his ruling, hold
ing that the motion was not debata-
ble. Those in South Carolina who
differed with Mr. Tillman on the sub
ject wrote to Senator Frye and
Speaker Henderson on the subject.
“In replying to tire communica
tion Senator F?y* reasserted that the
motion was debatable, and added
Mr. Tillman must have misconstrued
the response to his inquiry.
“Senator Frye has authorized the
publication of the entire correspond
ence. and it is now for Mr. Tillman
to explain why he did not give out
their decision correctly.”
Jimmy will explain this little inci
dent away all right It will not be
difficult for him to do that. He is an
adept at that kicd Df business. His
uncle Ben once told the writer that
Jim was his pupil, or words to that
effect, and we need never hope to
pin Jimmy down to facts.
Men of riouth Caroiinn, how long,

Oa April ^tb President Roosevelt

a sword to Major Micah Jenkin.-, and
it will not be a tin sword truth a tin

Miss Helen Gould, the possessor of

The jury in the Wilcoxcase brought
In a verdict of guilty. The finding of
the jury was based on public opinion
and not on the facts. We believe
Wilcox was guilty, but the State
failed to makt out ns case. It were
better that ninety and nine guilty
ones escape than one innocent be put
to death. We hope the law will not
bang him until there can be more
conclusive evidence of bis gukt.
You hear some people say the
Bouth is the ei emy of the negro. Of
course those people who make such
assertions are ignorant of the facts
We know some negroes we would trust
before we would trust some white
people, because the negroes we have
In mind will tell you the truth, while
the white people we have in mind
will tell you a lie. The color of a
man’s skin doesn’t affect his charac
ter. He may have a black skin and
a clean heart, or a white skin and a
black heart, but whatever be is, his
true character will come to the sur
face, and if he is black he will receive
due recognition In e\ery way except
ing social equality, and that the true
negro neither courts nor desires.
There is no place in ail this broad
land where the negro who deserves it
will receive better treatment than
right here in the South.
