* "I WISH" - "I WILL" i "1 wish" is the dividing line between desire and attainment. Nothing Is ever attained by wishing unless there's the Will to do it. The man or woman who says *'I will have | $ money/' and begins that minute to save, will | generally have their desires gratified. The determination back of the desire spurs them on to greater effort. Opportunities are theirs that never come to the moneyless, thriftless spender. Stop wishing. Start saving--to-day--Here.

One of Former Loudest Tlllman Champion Severely Arraigns His Former Leader. (News and Courier.) Would anybody have believed twenty years ago that the time would ever come when T. Larry Gantt would turn on Ben Tlllman and bitterly assail nim as a traitor? Capt. Tlllman in those days had no louder champion. Through the Columbia Register and in other newspapers Larry, to quote his own words, "tried to do with his pen what Ben did with his tongue." It was Larry, so it has always been understood, who first suggested to Tlllman, then governor, the estab lishment of the State dispensary sys tem, Larry having gotten the idea from the county dispensary which ?ab then in operation in Athens, Ga. Larry is now running a weekly newspaper, the News-Reporter. In Whlteville, N. C, Just across the line from Hojry county, and In his last Issue he devoted nearly four columns to a review of Mr. Tillman's career in the endeavor to prove that by his let ter urging the election of .lones prov ed himself a traitor to the "common people," who put him Into office. Lar ry being now as enthusiastically for Governor Blease as ever he was for Capt. Tlllman. Ills disaffection for the latter is not, it appears, of recent origin. He says: How Tillmun Was Nominated. "We have seen for years that the environments of Washington city and new associations had wrought a com plete change in Tillman's policy, If not his vltws, and when he voted for Lorimer, we knew that the day had come when the masses of South Car olina, if not the Democrats of that state, must search out another leader who was in closer touch with them and their Interests. But we did not criticise Tillman, for we disliked to help pull down a popular idol, but juietly waited for that idol, of its own free will, to tumble from the pedestal upon which admiring constituents had placed it." Larry has a good many Interesting things to say in the article which fol lows this remarkable statement. Per haps the most Interesting is his dec laration that the "Reform movemen" never profited in the slightest degree the "one-gallus wool hat boys" who formed its backbone. But his article speaks for Itself. He declares his pur pose to write a defense of "the com mon people of the Palmetto State" from which "it will be seen that the charge Tillman makes of Ingratitude is laid at the wrong door." and with this professed purpose in view he pro ceeds as follows: "When John L. M. Irby. in the fa mous March convention that gave jblrth to ithe Reform movement, brought about the nomination of Till man (we believe by one vote) after he (Tlllman) had given up the light and was found silting on the banks of the river ready to go back home to his farm. Ben Tillman was a small dairy farmer in Edgeflcld county, and report said he was in the same fix as thou sands of other farmers at that time, losing money, if not a practical bank rupt. "No one can deny that Tillman made a magnificent fight for the release of his people from practical political servitude, and taught them their rights and their power. He triumph ed, and In their love and gratitude the farmers continued to heap honors and rewards upon his head. Even since 1800 he has been holding lucrative Officers and drawing large salaries. It Is believed that today Tillman Is a rich man. Any way, he and his fam ily have for more than twenty years been living on the fat of the land, as it were, and enjoying all the pleasures and luxuries of life. The Charge of Ingratitude. "As it was the votes of the men whom Ben Tlllman denounced as in grates, and so severely criticised, that gave him those high offices, and it was the men to whom Tillman rightfully says he owes his scant majority over Talbert and Dial, who saved him from a crushing and ignominious defeat, af ter writing that eleventh hour letter attacking Govern.>r Blease. No one denies the good work Tlllman did for the masses In South Carolina, but no man who ever battled for his people was so long and richly rewarded. Without intending to make any Invi dious comparison, we would ask, what general among the struggling Amer ican colonists did better or more pl iant service for his country than Bene dict Arnold the hero of Saratoga? But Arnold betrayed his country in its darkest hour, and wont over to the enemy, and his name will ever be us ed to oxpress the blackest treachery. Now, we do not Intend to convey the Impression that there Is any connec tion whatever between the careor of Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Ryan Tillman, but we simply cite this case to show thot when a person goes over to the enemy, when tho cause for which he has so valiantly fought seems lost?an In tho fight between the Blease and Jones factions in South Carolina, when every newspa per and great Influence was enlisted against Blease and pulling for Jones ?the humble masses are wide awake and silently watching the line-ups. To our mind, it was Tillman who deserted the wool-at, one-gallus boys, and not they who deserted Tillman. The people judge a man by the company he keeps, and when Tillman gave his om;e-powerful aid to an element that had so vindictively, yea venomously, fought him In the past, and left as he thought and every outsider believl ed, his former adherents and their gallant young standard-bearer they had chosen to go down in defeat, he that moment lost the confidence and support of the common people in his State, and to whom he owed much? In fact the lifting up of Tillman from poverty and obsciulty into distinction and affluence, if not Into great riches for a Southerner. A Profitless Movement "Now, let us look upon the other side of the shield and see what the wool-hat, onegallus farmers, who had made Tlllman what he now Is, have gained by the bitter political warfare and strife that has been wayed In their state for some two decades? It is true that they have been educated as to their political power and rights but Tlllman does not deserve all cred it for this for with the establishment of the rural postal system the farmers have made wonderful strides of late, n other states than South I Carolina theyi have thrown off the shackles of political servitude and are now set tling their differences at the ballot. Rural voters are getting better in formed and better educated every year, and they would have broken the chains of bondage, placed upon them by ring-rule politicians, had Ben Till man never been born. "But for the sake of argument, we will give Tlllman credit for all that he claims. Is there another man In South Carolina who has reaped a rich er harvest from the political crop he planted than Tlllman himself? And what has those woof-hat one-gallus boys gained? Did that reform move ment put one red copper Into a single farmer's pocket? Did It take one sec ond's work from his daily toil? Did it relieve his poor, hard-working wife of one of the thousands of tasks that she must discharge during the day? Did it put another crumb upon his table or add one fagot to the kitchen fire? Did It enable him to buy one speck more of flour for his money or extend for one instant the day of grace on that crop lien or note? What did the farmer receive in return for quitting his fields to repair to the ballot box and /ote for Tlllman, and the other reform candidates, save the empty privilege of hurrahing over his victory when the returns were receiv ed? "The farmer then returned to his field and ploughed on, ploughed on, while Ben Tlllman and the politicians proceeded to reap every grain of the political arvest. Tillman's arraign ment of his people for Ingratitude Is like a farmer nbuslng the faithful mule that made his crop. The only differ ence is the farmer did feed and stable that mule, while those Tillman voters worked for nothing and boarded them selves. The Farmers' Alliunce. "When Ben Tillman first started his political career, there was a movement organized that did more than all else for the relief and uplifting of farmers ?the Alliance. Did Tillman join In this work and lend his aid and talent to make it a success? No. Indeed. When the Alliance was in its swad dling clothes, as it were, and its ex istence like the life of an infant hung in the balance, it was Tillman who joined its enemies to crush this great movement for the emancipation of our Southern farmers, and It was only when convinced thai his (Tillman's) political elevation hinged upon the success of the Alliance that he gave it his aid. There is not an old Alliance man in South Carolina btu knows this to be true. "But in their forgiving kindness and gratitude, tho one-gallus boys over lu deed this and for years blindly fol lowed Tillman. Does not every one who has watched that Alliance move ment know that it saved our farmers from serfdom, for their lands wert1 fast passing into the control of the mer chants and others with whom they traded, and had not the tillers of the soil been aroused to the danger that menaced them, you would today see a few large landed proprietors in the South and men who now own the farn.s be but serfs renting fields that were once their own. But at a critical moment It was Tlllimns' voice that was lifted against the grandest and noblest movement ever organized for the relief of the man behind the plow, A Reaper Always. "Ben Tlllman has ever enjoyed the happy faculty of always reaping crops planted and tilled by others. He waits until the grain is ready to gather, when he will give a harvest home among the laborers of his state and gather the entire crop into his own garners. "Tillman refers to the establishment (Continued on Page Seven.)
