E. H. AULL. Ei;rroL. EDITOR GONZALES VS JIM TILLMAN. The State new;paper is starting its campaign against Jas. H. Tillman early in the game. In yesterday's paper is published about three columns of tes timony to prove that Mr. Tillman as pre siding officer of the senate made a ruling which was not only against parliamen tary law but in the face of all precedent, and in addition to this he made a false statement and had said falsehood spread upon the journal of the senate. The ruling was that a motion to indefinitely postpone was not debatable. The sen ate sat upon this position and decided against Mr. Tillman by formal resolu tions of that body. In reply to this ac tion Mr. Tillman heartily commended Jefferson's Manual to the committee on rules for diligent study and said that since making the ruling he had consulted two of the highest parliamentarians in this country and was gratified to learn that they had sustained him. These two gentlemen were Speaker D. B. Hen derson of the national house of represen tatives and Mr. Frye the presiding officer of the United States 'senate. the editor of the State newspaper has taken the matter up and wrote to these two gentlemen to find out if they had sustained Gov. Tillman in the ruling above mentioned. President Frye in his reply says: "I had a telegram from Lieutenant Govenor Tillman in relation to the indefinite postponement of a meas ure and my reply was: "Jefferson's Man ual silent. Motion necessarily debata ble. Debatable under rules of senate". Speaker Henderson replied that he re ceived the following telegram from Lieut. Gov. Tillman under date Feb. 12: "Kindly wire me if in your opinion a motion to indefinitely postpone is de batable under Jefferson's Manual." To this Speaker Henderson replied: "Yes. The house of representatives de bates the motion to postpone indefinitely and has done so for many years. Had the Manual for bidden it, this would hardly have been done without a special rule giving posi tive permission." These are the main facts in the case briefly stated. The senate itself passed upon the rule and unanimously rebuked the presiding officer. So the main charge Sand the new one is that Mr. Tillman stated what was untrUie when he asserted that. his position was sus tained by two of the leading par liamentarians in this country, presum ing, of course, that he referred to Speaker * Henderson and President Frye. He 4oes * not say he meant them, though it is evi dent he telegraphed them, and received their replies. As the record now stands, the testimony produced shows that he has had a falsehood spread upon the jour nal of the senate. What about it? What will the people say about it? Mr. Tillman, long before he was elected lieutenant governor, had a reputation for a very strong and vivid imagination and sometimes even repre senting things not just as they were, yet he defeated by a very large majority some very good men. The people should select men of char acter and truthfulness to public position and positions of honor and trust, but they don't always do it. The pity is they do not, but how are you going to help it? By hounding down and persecuting Jim Tillman. That is what many people will say when they read this testimony, though of course it is only the records. Ifthe State keep up this fro now until the campaign closes, right or wrong, Jim Tillman will be the next governor of South Carolina. We may deplore the fact and theorize as much as we please, but 'the faet remains that we have to deal with roo,ooo voters who won't believe half they see and nothing they hear, that don't suit them. We await now Mr. Tillman's side of the question. Let us have his explana tion and statement. -The selection of Miss Euphemia MeClintock as president of the Presby terian College for Women in Columbia by the board of trustees of that institu tion is but a fitting t,estimronial to the worth and executive ability of a woman who has won her way to the front by virtue of her own merit and her fidel ity to duty. We congratulate her, but more especially the college over which she has been chosen to preside. To her it means increased responsibilities and more hard work, but knowing her as we do we feel confident she will be equal to the occasion. Miss McClintock is a Newberry girl, the daughter of our friend and fellow townsman, Dr. E P. McClintock,.and we feel a natural pride in the success she has attained. Converse College has acted wisely in her choice of a successor to Dr. B. F. Wilson as president of that institution. Rev. R. P. Pell has been successful in the management of the Presbyterian College in Columbia and carries with him to his new work an experience which will be of great help to him. He is modest and unassuming, possesses fine executive ability and is a scholar of a high order and withal a Christian gentlemao. We feel that he partly be longs to Newberry insomuch as we furnished bim to the college in Colum bia. We wish him abnndart success in his new field of labor. In the Saluda fire on Sunday we notice that two Newberry boys, young lawyers, lost heavily. Hon. E. S. Blease lost his law library valued at $500 and Mr. C. J Ramage his library valued at $8S:> and neiher had any insurance. We extend We are glad to see that County Su perintendent Werts is urging the teachers of the county and the schools to join with the college in their Char leston trip on April 1. The fact is we believe each school district should have a meeting of the board at once and appropriate out of the public fund a small amount towards the exDenses of the school as an inducement to the teacher and tie pupils to attend the exposition. From an educational stand point it would be worth more to the pu pils to visit Charleston and the Exposi tion than a month in attendance upon he s-3hool, yes, more than a whole ses tsion. Then it is an opportunity which may not come again in a life time. By all means let every pupil of the county schools, go to the exposition. There will be a special train over the South - ern next Tuesday starting from New berry at 9 o'clock in the morning and there will be no danger of over-crowding as the coaches will be in proportion tr. the crowd. You will get in Charleston in the afternoon and have ample time to look out for the place at which you. desire tc stop and get located before night. The railroad rate is low, and half price admission to the exposition is given next week to the schools. It is the time for the schools to go. We could have a Newberry week instead of a Newberry day. Treasurer James H. Campbell, of Richland county, who has held that responsible, position for several years, died at his home in Columbia on Sun day. He had many acquaintances in Newberry who learn of his death with sorrow. We sympathize with our friend Mr. Terrell in the loss of the Siluda Sentinel by fire. He had no insurance which makes the loss all the more heavy. MISS M'CLINTOCK KADE PRESIDENT. She Succeeds Dr. Pell at the College for Women, Columbia. [The State, 23.] The board of directors of the Presby terian College for Women has been busy during the past week, since accepting the resignation of Dr. Pell as president. arranging the reorganization of the faculty of the institution for the com ing year. The work has resulted in putting women in charge of the insti tut ion, as has been done at many of the leading female colleges of the coun try, with splendid results, and it is be lieved thait there is a great future for the college. Thus far with the faculty practically completed, there is only one male member of the faculty. Miss Euphemia McClintock, presi dent of the college and professor of the chair of history and economics. THE NEW PRESIDENT. Miss Euphemia McClintock, who has just been elected president of the colege, has been the lady principal for the past six years. She is a native of Newberry. Her family are of Scotch Irish ancestry, and have furnished many prominent preachers and teach ers. Her grandfather was 40 years professor of mathematics at Erskine college and her father, who is a prom inent minister in the Associate Re formed Presbyterian chu-ch, is now president of the board of trustees of that institution. Miss McClintock was a student at the Woman's College in Baltimore where she graduated in 1893 with the highest honors given by that institu tios. Since then she has taken post grduate work at Harvard university and Chicago university, and also spent one summer studying in Paris. After graduation Miss McClintock settled in her native town where she was engaged in preparing pupils for entrance to college. During that time the Rev. R. P. Pell was the pastor of the Pres byterian church at Newberry. He was in 1896 elected the president of the Col lege for Women in Columbia, and hav ing knowledge of Miss McClintock's work and her eminent fitness for the position brought her to the attention of. the board of directors and had her elected as lady principal in the college. Miss McClintock has continued with the coll+ge in that capacity, and also as professor of history and economics, and has displayed marked talent, not only as a teacher, but eminent ability in the management of the students. Miss McClintock has recently been of fered by her alma mater, the Woman's College of Baltimore, a fellowship with the privilege either of studying at that institution or of going abroad. This complimentary offer was under consid eration by Miss McClintock whben she was elected to the presidency of the college-which of course caused haer to forego the privilege. Under her man a'gement the highest standard of ex cellence which has characterized this college in the past will be maintained. She is a strong believer in the advan-1 tages which grow out of personal con ta't between teacher and taught; and it will be her purpose in the future, as in the past, to emphasize the great ad vantage to the young woman of being brought daily in personal coutact with her teachers, and so throw around thei student all the benefits which belong I strictly to the home life. With the limited number of pupils which can b.e accommodated in the household it willr be altogether practicable to give to I each member the advantage of personal ~ asoito ihte aut,ads h aimswilltbondurin tbis fcrt.cald psod h ainh ives ofuringi critica weo C chrther lis benofyormng oe wiven to chrce sbigfreaogv o eahsuetalo h eeisw i grow studtl of the ialfis which r m.am ani of tha annial life which sur A DISASTROU FIRE AT SLUDA. ;ummary of Losses Suntained-Sald to be the Most Destructive Contlagration In the History of the Town.

Mr. Hoyt King was a member of the Freshman class of Newberry College during this college year, having en tered at the beginning of the session and continued until a few days ago. The announcement of his fearful death at Toccoa, Ga., on Tuesday, March 18, 1902, was a great shock to his former friends and class-mates and must have been heartrendering to his mother. Of a happy and cheerful disposition, he had made many warm friends among his college and class-mates to whom his sudden and unexpected death was the occasion of a deep sorrow. This death should be a lesson to his asso ciates of only a little while ago. For in the midst of life truly are we in death. The hour nor the time no man knoweth. Our hearts are bowed with grief and we feel keenly the loss we have sustained. Resolved, That the Freshman class of Newberry College extends its deep est and most heartfelt sympathy to the mother in this hour of grief, and also to tbe other members of the family. . R'esolved, That a copy of these reso IL.ons be sent to- the fa-mily of our deceased comrade and copies be fur nished I'he Stylus, The Visitor and the county papers with the request that they be published.
