A Distinction With a Difference YOU may not always get what you pay for. It takes a good judge of values to do that, but if there is one sure rule in business it Is?you pay for all you get. You may not be able to see the difference between engines of similar appearance at different prices, but if you buy from a reputable firm you may be sure the difference in quality is there. I H C Oil and Gasoline Engines cost more than some others because they are more carefully made, and more thoroughly t tested. Skillful designing, better material, better workmanship, more careful assembling, and more thorough testing, tell in the long run. Given equal care an I H C engine costs less per year of service than any other engine you can buy. If an I H C engine is given all the work it will do, pumping, sawing wood, running the grindstone, feed grinder, hay press, silage cutter, repair shop machines, cream ?separator, churn, washing machine, etc., etc., it will pay for itself in a very short time in money and labor saved.

C, Aug. 7.?"No sensi ble man in the State believes that Judge Jones Is in favor of social equality. He would make a good gov ernor, for he is eminently qualified." These statements are contained in a letter by Senator B. R. Tlllman to Jas. L. Sims, editor of the Orange burg Times and Democrat, which was announced here tonight. "As you were the head of the reform movement and was governor when Judge Jones voted against separate car act. we would like for you to say whether yon consider Judge Jones an advocate of social equality because he voted against the law, ind whether In your judgment he would make a good governor of the State.' This question was asked of Senator Tlllman by Mr. Sims and the above answer was received. The following is Senator Tillman's letter: 'lion. James L. Sims, Orangeburg, S. C "Dear Mr. Sims: I have your letter of July 20th, for which please accept my thanks. "I have been surprised that Judg"> Jones has allowed Governor Blease to nut him on the defensive and made him explain something that needed no explanation, for no sensible man in the state believes that Judge Jones Is in favor of social equality) and Qov. Hlease has laughed in ills sleeve to see how shrewdly he has muddled the water. In other words, he has played politics more adroitly than the judge. "in reply to your question: 'As you were the head of the reform move ment and was governor when .Indue Jones voted against the separate car act we would like for you to say whether you consider Judge Jones an advocate of social equality because he voted against the law, and whether In .Mmi judgment ho would make a good governor for the state.' I answer: "I do not consider that Judge Jones was an advocate of wOClal equality be cause he voted against that law and I believe ho would make a good gov ernor, for he Is eminently qualified. "I say this more willingly because It cannot be construed as my taking sides as between the men, I announc ed last fall that 1 would not do this and thus far I have seen no reason why I should change my attitude. "if the newspapers, keep on pub lishing such stuff as Grace's attack on the governor and the dictagraph "slush" they will certainly make Hlease governor again. "Very sincerely yours. B. It. Tlllman." HUMAN HAS BEEN DISGUSTED BY DIRTY BRAND OE POLITICS Says Candidates Have Desended to Blackguardism, Vulgariety and Obscenity on the Stump, and Refers to the Fact that He Resorted to Blows on the Floor of the Senate When the Word Lie Was Used. (From The State.) Washington, D. C.?Senator Tlllman issued the following statement relative to political conditions in South Caro lina, having special reference to the publication of a letter he wrote J. L. Sims of Orangeburg a few days ago. '.Many telegrams and letters have come to my office since the publica tion of my letter to Mr. Situs and I deem it both necessary and proper I for me to make a statement to the I press. In that way alone can 1 pro i vent mistakes from being made and having words and Ideas put Into my month which ni'O not warranted. "I have not written any letter which was intended or could be used as Jones campaign literature. I have desired to maintain the attitude of neutrality in the governor's race wihch I an nounced at the beginning. I have never believed n t'nltcd States senator ought to take an active part in (lie nomination for state offices. What let ters I have written were penned ill the hope of moderating the fury with which charges and counter-charges were being hurled hack and forth. Hut instead of producing that effect, it i has seemed to increase the bitterness, and I am resolved that 1 will not per mit myself to be drawn into this light further. I am in Washington dis charging the duties of my office as senator from South Carolina as well as my health and limited strength will permit. While my health is steadily Improving I have no hope of it becom ing sufficiently restored for me to do any speaking in the campaign. God knows I wish I could, for If there ever was a time when the people needed clearness of vision and sou lid advice, it is now. I could speak what 1 can not write, and do it with mote force and effectiveness. The I'rimnrj Plan. "Among the public services which i have rendered South Carolina, I con sider nom? of them more valuable than the aid 1 gave in the establishment of the primary system for state offices with the county-to-county campaign. When rightly used, this latter is a great educational force in instructing the people upon many public questions and bringing them face to face with the men who are seeking their votes. I have been sincerely anxious thai nothing should be done to impair the usefulness of this educational agency. Instead of our candidates discussing great public questions and teaching the people, the meetings have been lit tle else than vulgar quarreling match es In which blackguardism, vulgarity, obscenity and abuse almost without limit and all manner of filthy speeches have been allowed to predominate. The state's good name has been drag ged In the mire to the disgust and shame of all right-thinking C'aroli lans. Patriotic citizens must take counsel together, how to lift these meetings back to a high plane and make them the great educators they are Intended to be. "Judge Jones ought to have been content with what I said and stopped there. ile had no right to Incite Governor Hlease's friends to bombard me with telegrams and letters, by of fering $100 reward to any one who would got me to declare Blease or Duncan were eminently qualified for the governor':; office. 1 do not sec that It is my business to dictate to the people of South Carolina as to whom they should elect governor. Preferred Richards. "If 1 could have done that John (I. Illcltards, Jr., would be governor now. I am naturally frank and blttnl and somewhat impulsive, therefore, in writing to friends in South Carolin I have not been on the watch lest some phrase in my letter would lay nie an tier suspicion of being a Dlenselto, Jonesite or a DuneiiMto, Vor Instance some days ago, in writing to a friend in Marlboro, I sttid; 'Sensible men will never weigh Senator Tilltuan and (5o\ crnor HI ease in the same scales. Ii the tools do. it is not liny fault Of mine.' I said thi:- in same .spirit in which I said: 'No sensible man in the state believes thai Judge Jones is in favor of social equality.' Just as no one but a fool will regard Blease as the only representative of Tillman ism or its best exponent. There are hundreds of Tlllmanltes in the state who are better exponents of both than either Jones or Blease or Duncan. I do not see what that has to do with it any way. The issue is. or ought to be. Integrity of purpooso, patriot ism and ability, cleanness of character, | high ideals, capacity to lead tho people and show them the best way to go. courage to execute tin; laws unflinch ingly and without fear or favor, lias Shinned Ulm, "l have been matfc ashamed, as every South Carolinian miistho, ill the vulgarity, Indecency and coward Ice that lias been shown on the stumu When my brother Senators read nhoui the passing of the Ho being In every meeting in South Carolina, they with a veiled sneer allude to it in sur prise. I have no word in say because I cannot. I resented the Mo with n blow on the floor of the senate ami that has been regarded here as an illustration of the state's spirit. The people of tile state ought to compel i those who seek their votes for high Official positions behave and speak like gentlemen. The people can do it and the people alone can do it. One can speak boldly, aggressively and | truthfully, and not flinch from stat ing the facts, and do it in parlia mentary language, and public opin ion should demand this and the peo ple should enforce It as a rule. BIsC, for the state's good name, we had better cease having these state cam paigns at all; and they are too val uable to give up beeause of the man ner in which they are being prosti tuted. It Is a disgrace to have them conducted In the way they have been this year. It would be little short of a calamity to have them cease alto gether. "One word In conclusion, and the most Important word at all. There are men In the state who believe If Judge Jones Is not elected that the state will go to the dogs. There are others equally honest and patriotic who believe that if Hlease is not elect ed the reform movement and prin ciples It stood for will be destroyed. Both are wrong. The fabric of our government is not built on such a tllmsy foundation, but It is of vital Importance and 1 say this with all solemnity of which 1 am capable? that the legislature to lie elected this year Is of more importance than Is filling the governor's office, if wo havehrave. true men. who ate honest and ? )t to be brow beaten or bribed or BCduced Into betraying their con stituents, no bad governor can do us any Irreparable injury, and without them no good governor can do much good. So l Implore my fellow citi zens to see to it that the very best men in each county are sent to the house of representative! ami the son ate. Then, whether 131 ease or Jones is elected, we will be safe. (Signed) "M. it. Til.I.MAN." Indian Killed on Track.
