THINKS TILLMAN SHOULD RESIGN Chester Citizen, Writlnic to The Co lumbia State, Sajs That Tlllnian Should Seek Quietude <m Edgetleld Home. To the Editor of The State: The following letter is written en tirely of my own volition, without any suggestion from any person what ever, with no ulterior object In view, and especially with no unfriendly sen timents towards the senior senator from South Carolina. In announcing his candidacy for re election to the se:iate, Mr. Tlllman has asked for an expression of opinion thereon from his constituents, as UI health will not permit him to speak on the stump in the coming primary. i In response to this Invitation, t hereby wish to express my individual opinion that in justice to himself and to his past record. In Justice to the State, which has so signally honored him, and Anally In Justice to the greet Democratic p&rty, for which he has so long battled, he ought not to be a candidate again. For nearly 22 years he has filled to the satisfaction of the large ma jority of the people of South Carolina the two most exalted offices In tholr j gift. In the performance of the duties Incumbent upon these poai-' tions, he has conducted himself In such manner as to grow in status and favor with his constituents, and he has never been so strong as he is to- . day.in the hearts of his people. 1 be lieve in the evnt of his candidacy he would be reeleeted by au over whelming majority. But what would it profit him? Phy sically there can b.? no doubt that he is unable to discharge the duties of the responsible position. Ever since the old days of 1390 he has fought for the good old Democratic doctrine of rota tion iu office, especially when the in cumbent was unable to discharge it3 duties. Some of his ardent friends, speaking affectionately of him, say, "Let the old man die in harness". But would that course be just to him, just to his State or just to his party? This country is now in the throes of a great tight again at the pro tected, plutocratic powers that now ruie our nation. The crisis in battle will be fought out in the halls of Congress. The lown- hou^e will al most certainly be controlled by the reform element, but the great conflict will be in the senate, wh^rs the pro-' tected powers are most strongly en trenched by rules, regulations and privileges which make them almost invincible. The progressives to win In the sen ate will not only have to be men of courage, character and brains, but streng, healthy, virile meu. who can bear the hardships of prolonged night and day sessions, attend committee and conference meetings, and dis charge the other arduous duties of; active legislative life What would Mr. Til'.man do under; such circumstances? He would not be satisfied with the mild expendient of a paired vote and a vacant chair. Whea the hattle was fierce and hot he would want to be In the fray, and it is not hard to conjecture what the re sult would be on a diseased and weakened body. There would be a hiatus In the Democratic ranks. ?-Nhiuh might occasion irreparable in jury to the progressive cause. An all important reform measure might be defeated by the loss of one vote. No, Mr. Tlllman with a due regard for his own health and life, and with devotion to the State and to the party which has honored him so generously and which he loves so well, should re tire gracefully to the restful tran quil Ity of his Edgefteld county home and enjoy In his reclining years that otlum cum dignitate which he so richly deserves. Fortunately he has legitimately and In a proper manner accumulated by lectures and other public addresses a sufficient amount to relieve him from any pecuniary embarrassment, and he now has a great opportunity by this act of ab negation and self-denial to go down in history not only as a successful statesman, but as a partiotic citizen, who In the zenith of his power re tired from office for the welfare of his State and his party.

Lift the clump or single bulb with a garden spade, being careful not to injure sny of the underground parts, shake off any exeess of adher ing soil and lay the tabers and bulbs on the dry ground for sunning. If the ground la wet or very damp place dry atraw or leaves under them so that they will dry on all sides. At night protect them with straw, canvas or some covering to keep out dampness and prevent possible fre??!n?r_ T'ncov er them each morning for exposure to air and sun and let them cure in this ir.anner from three to five days.

The time for picking red apples is commonly gauged by their color, and that of yellow apples by the color of the seeds. The latter Is the only re liable teat of ripeness, for an apple ptcked Just as the seeds are turned light brown, and before they become dark around the edges, will be found to have not only full flavor but the best keeping quality. But red apples are often left for some time after the seeds Indicate maturity to allow them to put on more color, which they do rapidly under the Influence of the bright days and cool nights of au tumn. Growers should bear In mind, how ever, that to defer picking after the seeds Indicate ripeness. Invites water core and shortens the life of the fruit in storage, often to a serious extent with the mid-winter varieties. A spraying of the currant and other small fruit bushes will help. Canning fruits and vegetables has become a great Industry In certain sec tions of the country. A little nitrate of soda worked In well with the soil around the roots will keep things going. in trimming trees the wound made by cutting off a limb close to the trunk will soon heal over. It pays to pack fruit in clean bas kets for the local market and It pays also to wrap them In paper.
