Why is it that Senator Tillman, when ever he is asked about his attitude to wards Mr. Blcase, lauches into a senti mental discussion about voting for men whose lives are upright and clean? In the absence of allegation to the contrary, it is taken for granted that every man's private life is what it should be. In this pending campaign for Governor, no charges have been made against any man's private life. So far as the public is informed, each of the eight candidates is a saint. If Senator Tillman knows aught against any, why doesn't he say it? Why does he insinuate? Why lecture on this sub ject whenever Blease's name is called? as he did at Lexington and at Laurens? He also lectures against voting for a "straddler" Who is his "straridler?" Does he mean Mr. Blease? It is at the mention of Mr. Blease's name by some man in the crowd that the Senator does this stunt. But Mr. Blease is no "strad dler." Meanwhile, nothing is clearei than that the Senator is trying to defeat Mr. Blcase. He says that opponents of the Raysor-Manning bill should be left at home. Mr. Blease is one of these oppo nents. Therefore- Well, finish the sentence, you who follow Tollman's ad vice. Openly and everywhere it is said that Senator Tillman wishes Mr. Manning elected. The Senator doe.s not dispute it?though he has not admitted it in so many words. So long as the prevailing impression remains, the Senator's influ ence will go for Manning. This the Senator knows, and to this the Sena tor consents. Why is Senator Tillman a Manning man? Simply because the only thing that the Senator lacks is the friendship of the people of whom Mr. Maiming is a representative. Mr. Manning is an excellent type of all that has since 1885 antagonized B. It. Tillman. Tillman goes back to the Senate without oppo sition. There is nothing more for him to get out of his former followers. But what would not Senator Tillman give to be received into full fellowship with the people of whom Manning was one in the days of factionalism? If the Senator could gain the respect now of the "old Antis" by electing one of their most respectable young men Governor, he would be the leader of all the peo ple?he would be loved by everybody in the State, and what man does not crave the affection of his people? We do not know whether or not the "old Antis" are going to forgive Till man because be hugs Manning to his bosom, so to speak, but of this we are sure: the former Tillmanitcs are for the most part going to follow Tillman, even if be shall deliver them into the hand of the Amalekites ?which is to say, the anti-Tilbnanites. All of which is a pleasant reflection. ? TROLLEY LINES COMING. Very soon all the important towns in Upper South Carolina will be connected by trolley lines. By "very soon," we mean ten or twenty years. Anderson's line is prosperous and it is to be ex tended to Belton and Spartanburg's line already extends eight or ten miles into the country, and to mill villages. After a few years, the franchises will be secured by Northern capitalists and, if we don't look sharp, the trolley business will be owned by outsiders. The Greenville and Spartanburg lines are now owned by outsiders. Local people own the Anderson line. We would like to see Laur.ens have a trolley lific and we would like to sec it owned and operated by home people. * UNITE THE TOWNS. The automobilists of Laurens should form themselves into a good roads assor ciation and take measures to have a road built from Clinton to Laurens. The two towns, Clinton and Laurens, should each contribute the money to build a mile or two of a macadamized road, and the people along the road might perhaps contribute a little. In the course of a few years, two or three, the road would be completed and the expense would hardly be felt. To Trustees of First Methodist Church.

"The princess said one day to her sailor brother, the Due de Joinville: ' "Bring me, on your next trip to the South Seas, the complete costume of a king's wife.' " 'I will gladly,' the duke answered. "He returned from the South Sea? u year later and handed to his sister a string of glass beads. " 'These arc very pretty,' said the princess, 'but you promised me a com plete costume.' " 'This is a complete costume,' said the duke. 'I've never seen them wear any other.' " ? Newark News. LONGING. When the roadside weeds are wilting And the skies sunburned and brassy, Then I know the birds are lilting, Then I know a country lassie Sings along a country highway Where the maple trees arch over, Trips along a woodland byway Sweet with breath of purple clover. And buds come out of their hiding, And birds sing out of the shadow, And the cricket where 'tis hiding Sends its call across the meadow, And her lips are like a cherry, And her throat is like the thrushes In the morning making merry By the stream's side in the rushes. And her foot, so softly pressing On the tender roadside grasses, Is as soft as the caressing Of the south wind as it passes, And her locks are star-dust drifting In a halo and a glory, And her eyes down-drooped or lifting Are as sweet as love's own story. Do you wonder that the wilting Of the weeds along the byway Sets me longing for the lilting Of a song adown a highway Where a country maid is going, And where maple trees are over, And where gentle breezes blowing Bring the breath of purple clover? -Houston Post. RAPS MAIL ORDF.R BUSINESS. Governor Folk Advocates Home Mer chants and Home Papers. Governor Joseph W. Eolk, in address ing the retail merchants of Missouri at their convention in Jefferson City the other day, spoke against the mail order business and favored advertising in the town papers. He said, in part: "We are proud of our splendid cities, and wo want them to increase in wealth and population, and we also want our country towns to grow. We wish the city merchants to build up, but we also desire the country merchant to prosper. I do not believe in the mail order citi zen. If a place is good enough for a man to live in and to make his money in, it is good enough for him to spend his money. "No merchant can succeed without advertising in one way or another. Patronize your town papers, build them, up, and they will build the town up and build you up increased trade and greater opportunities. Do not be afraid that business is going to be hurt by the recent exposures of wrong doing in the commercial world. No man who is do ing an honest business can be injured by the light. All business will be bet ter for the cleansing process it is going through and for the stamping out of evil." Scrub yourself daily, you're not clean inside.

CREWS TO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Reminiscences of the Oldest Editor in the State as Told at the Isle of Palms. Mr. President and Members of the South Carolina Press Association:. As a sort of modern Methuselah, or if not such a prototype, at least one of the older, if not the oldest member of your body, I have been requested to give some personal reminiscences of the I newspaper press of South Carolina since my connection with it. This will cover a period of nearly fifty-seven years, though my first connection with the press of the State was in a very hum ble capacity, that of pvintor's "devil" and boy of all work; and the printing office was my alma mater. I am not unmindful of the fact that such a theme as 1 have undertaken to detail is not in keeping with the pro gressive spirit of the age, which points forward, not backward; yet, some of us at least who have already reached the shades of life, feel a just, and I trust a commendable pride in the dear old days of the past, with ibi joys and its sor rows, its successes and reverses. Nor do 1 feel altogether lonesome in my "gray temples" at seventy-four, as I think I discern before me, without mi croscopic aid, some silver threads among the once darker or perhaps redder hues. (No insinuations as to lady membei's present.) Hut as to my recollections regarding the press of the Slate, Mr. President, I scarcely know where, when, or how to begin. If I may be pardoned for an il lusion personal to myself, will say that my connection with the newspaper press of South Carolina, in a proprietary and editorial relation, began mere than forty-three years ago, though connected in other capacities for several years prior to that time. Of the forty-three years alluded to, however, four years should bo deduced, during which time I served my State and country as a Con federate soldier. In the year 1815), which is as far back as my recollection runs in this connec tion, if memory serves me correctly there was a weekly newspaper publish ed in every county (then District.) north and west of Columbia. In some of the counties, south and east of that city, I think there were none. In none of these was there a machine or power press? the old Washington hand press being the sole reliance, two hundred and forty or fifty sheets (called a "token") per hour being its full average capacity, and that number was regarded rather swift press work. It is quite different now, in this age of steam and electric power, when a Webb perfecting press and others have a capacity of from thirty to forty thousand sheets per hour. Even the daily papers of Charleston and Columbia were printed by hand power until some time in 1850, or '61, when steam was first applied to a print ing press in the former city, I think by the Courier, then one of the leading daily papers of the State, and perhaps the oldest. The electric telegraph preceded the application of steam to the printing press in this State about three years, its first introduction and use as a means of transmitting intelligence to the press was adopted by the Charleston dailies some time in the latter part of 1847 or early in 1848. This, of course, was be fore my connection with the Slate press, but I have seen or heard the fact stated. Hut, even before the introduction of the telegraph in Charleston and Colum bia, and its adoption by the press, there was much industry and enterprise in news gathering manifested, when the method adopted to obtain it was more expensive Hum at present, according to space, as the following single instance will evidence: At the breaking out of the Mexican war, early in 1817, it required seven days for the transmission of the regular mail between New Orleans and Now York, and the telegraph line extended then only as far South as Richmond, Va. To obtain the earliest news from the seat of war in advance of the regu lar mail facilities, the management of the Charleston Courier, in conjunction with some New York journal, a "pony express" was established, and went at once into operation between Montgom ery, Ala., a distance of one hundred and fifty miles. It was between these points that the regular mail was out stripped, it requiring the mail coach thirty-six hours to travel the distance. The pony express covered the distance in twelve hours, overtaking the previ ous day's mail. So by this enterprise the first intelli gence from the land of the Montezumas was received and published in the City of Charleston exclusively, presumably in the Courier, twenty-four hours in advance of the United States mail, about the last of March, 1847. The pony mail was limited in weight to not less than three nor more than five pounds of matter; and for each suc cessful trip the contractor was paid seven hundred and fifty dollars, and a failure, if is said, rarely occurred. Sev eral horses were killed, and one rider lost his life. (I am indebted to a neat little volume entitled, "The Newspaper Press of Charleston,"by William L. King, pub lished in 1872, for the fact'i therein given of this bold piece of jo ji naliftic enterprise; though I had heard It de tailed some years before the date of the publication referred to.) At time of my earliest recollection as to the means of getting news for the press, the old stage coach, with an av erage of four miles per hour, was the chief reliance, especially of the country weekly. There was then but one rail road in the State the South Carolina, between Charleston and Hamburg, with a branch road from Branchvlllo to Co lumbia, Prom the latter city, stage lines penolrated the country in different directions, and were the only mode of public conveyance, and transmissions of the mails, supplemented of course in the latter service by the horso mail, or the star route. Some lime in the mid dle fifties and early sixties the Colum bia and Charlotte, (he Creenvillo and Columbia, the Laurens and Spartanburg and Union railroads were all completed. This gave the upper tier of counties better mail and travelling facilities. At this time, however, as compared with the speed of railroads of (he pres ent day, these roads might have boon correctly designated as "slowcoaches," as twenty miles per hour whb regarded fast time. Now, unless a speed of forty-five or fifty miles per hour is made, the average passenger>of swift ideas becomes somewhat impatient, and almost ready to say, "I'd just as well get out and walk," while the enterpris ing business community is by no means contented unless the mails arrive twice or thrice daily, to say nothing of R. F. I), routes that drop in at all hours. And unless the reader of dailies, print ed hundred of miles away, gets his pa per at the early breakfast table ho is ready to bless out the whole newspaper fraternity, the entire postal service and all railroads between New York and San Francisco, not to mention points near home. Had such impationt reader lived in the days when leading city dai lies displayed at the heads of their for eign news column, in conspicuous capi tals, "Arrival of Steamship America, Fourteen Days Later from Europe," perhaps he would be willing to cultivate more tolerance. Newspapers of the present day get news across the water, or rather under it, in fourteen minutes. When the Charleston papers could be read thirty-six or forty-eight hours af ter publication, two hundred miles dis tant, most people were satisfied with the lateness and freshness of its news. Now they receive it within six or eight hours after uublication at even a greater distance, and many are yet not entirely happy. The leading daily newspapers of Charleston, as I remember them back in the fifties and later, were the Cou- j rier, by A. S. Wellington & Co., Rich ard Yeardon. editor; the Mercury, R. Barnwell Rhett, Jr., W. R. Taber, edi tors, and the Evening News, Col. John Cuningham, editor. These were strong, ably conducted and influential journals. In Columbia the Daily South Carolinian was published by Johnson & Cavis, W. B. Johnson, editor; the Palmetto State Banner, by I. C. Morgan, and the illus trated Family Friend, by Stuart Adair Godman. The last two journals were weeklies, but excellent papers. Dr. R. W. Gibbes subsequently bought the Carolinian from Johnson & Cavis and became its editor. All these papers, both of Charleston and Columbia, were first-class, both as to editorial ability and typographical execution. The same may be said of the country weekly, when such men were at the ed itorial helm as Maj. R. F. Perry, of the Greenville Patriot; C. H. Alien, Dr. John H. Logan, W. C. Davis, F. W. Selleck, of the Abbeville Banner, 0. H. Wells, Greenville Mountaineer; Arthur Simkins, of the Edgefield Advertiser; W. P. Price, Greenville Enterprise; the talented and versatile Warren, of the Camden Journal; A. A. Gilbert, of the Sumter Watchman; Slider & Crosson, of the Newberry Sun; B. L. Posey. W. A. Lee, Abbeville Independent Press; S. A. Godman, R. M. Stokes, John D. Wright, J, Wistar Simpson, Homer L. McGowan, W. L. Hudgens, Joseph N. Brown, J. J. Davis, James Hollings worth and J. Perkins Hoyt, of the Laurensville Herald: All of these (and a number of others whose names I can not recall) were editors of the respect ive papers mentioned prior to the war between the States, none of whom are living, I believe, with two exceptions Judge James M. Crosson, now of Hous ton, Texas, and Col. Josepn N. Brown, now of Anderson, S. C. Time and circumstances permitting, I perhaps could have gone more into de tail regarding my recollection of the press of the State during the decade from 1850 to 1861; but what I have written, it may be, is already too much. Respectfully and fraternnally, T. B. Crews. REV. JOHN W. HUA1BERT. Prominent Alinistcr Died in Newberry Rattirday Afternoon, Ajfcd SeventyOnc. The Rev. John W. Humbert, one of the best known members of the South Carolina Conference, died at his home in Newberry last Saturday afternoon, after a long illness. The interment took place in Newberry, at Roscmount cemetery, Sunday afternoon at five o'clock. Rev. John W. Humbert was born June 10, 1835, near Knoxvillc, Tenn., where his parents, Rev. John G. Hum bert and Mary E. Guinn had moved from this State shortly after their mar riage. His father was a native of Beau fort county, and after a residence of a few years out of the State returned and settled near Princeton, this county, where Capt. Joseph B. Humbert, the only surviving son, has residedlsince his father's death many years ago. Immediately after his graduation from Wofford College In 1859, the Rev. Mr. Humbert joined the South Carolina Conference and served sixteen years on stations and twenty-nine on circuits during which time he covered the entire State pretty thoroughly and it is said that he never missed a single annual conference. His ministerial work began in the mountains of Western North Carolina before the division of the Con ference. He is survived by his wife, who was , a daughter of Gen. IL II. Kinard of Newberry. Mrs. Humbert is secretary of tin Missionary Society of the South Carolina Conference, a position she has filled with marked efficiency and faith fulness since its organization. Mr. Hum bert had been in feeble health for some time and was superanuated on that ac count two years ago. Luckiest Man in Arkansas. "I'm the luckies', man in Arkansas," writes II. L.
