WILLFUL MISREPRESENTATION.
We mentioned in our last is
sue that Governor Tillman’s
message had been sent to the Leg
islature the previous day, but we
were not able to make any com
ment upon it, not having seen the
full text of it As this was the last
shot he was to fire during the
four years of his two eventful
terms, it was to be expected
that thoGovernor'scrowning ef
fort would be at least as unique
as usual, and it is safe to say
that, in this respect, public ex
pectation was not disappointed.
Gov. Tillman is a smart man,
(taking the word in its strictest
and most literal sense), and his
message was a smart one He
certainly understands thorough
ly how to “put '.he best foot fore
most,” and is auadept in theart of
presenting a strong case from
his own standpoint. Smartness,
however, is about the only com
mendable feature of this most
remarkable paper. It certainly
is not statesman-like: in fact,
the Governor is too much of a
crank to be anything of a states
man. Who but a crank would
devote more than half of his
valuable space in an im
portant document as this to
the diseussion of one of his hob
bies, and that hobby such a one
as State controll of the liquor
traffic? What real statesman,
under similar circumstances,
would accord the same dedree
of prominence to that one ques
tion as to all of the following
combined: The achievments of
the “Reform Movement, the re
cent State election, the Consti
tutional Convention, penal and
charitable institutions, educa-
tionalinsti tutious, besides a large
number of important miscella
neous matters concerning the
welfare of the State?
Glowing as the message is
with egotism, and teeming with
false and incorrect statements,
it is open to criticism in almost
every paragraph. With many
of these statements we are not
directly concerned, and there
are others to correct them; but
there is one class that we feel
called upon to refute here and
now, to wit, the Governor’s as
sertions throughout concerning
the dispensary troubles In Dar
lington last April. He made
some such assertions as these
at the time that he sent the
troops here: we could forgive
him then, as the natural infer
ence was that he had been mis-
infermed, and that time would
serve to correct his false impres
sions. Blinded as he seems to
be, however, by passion and
prejudice, he has not even tak
en the trouble to find out the
truth. After a lapse of more
than six months, he not only
adheres to his first hastily form
ed impressions, but in the most
formal and solemn manner pos
sible, embodying them as part
and parcel of his annual message
to the Genral Assembly, he pub
lishes them to the world as liter
al truths!
Gov. Tillman himself says in
his message: “It is said that the
truth never overtakes a lie, and
the injury done can never be
undone.” Knowing this as
well as he seems to know it,
should he not, in the prepara
tion of a paper that is to be as
wide’y read as this is, be partic
ularly careful in regard to his
facts? If his proposition is true
ordinarily speaking, with much
greater force does it apply to a
document like this—what can
overtake a false statement con
tained in a gubernatorial mes
sage? Certainly not the cor
rection made by a comparative
ly obscure country newspaper.
“Why then,” some may ask,
“attempt to make the correct |
ion—it can do no good?” Well,
it may not do dny good as far
as can be perceived at present,
but we feel that in this matter ^
we have a duty to perform. The
editor of the only paper pub
lished in Darlington, and pos
sessing a thorough knowedge of
the events connected with the
April “insuriection,” on whom
does it more fittingly devolve
to put on record an emphatic
denial of Gov. Tillman’s false
statements—to prevent his in
correct history of the affairgoing
unchallenged, even though, per
chance, the challenge is neyer
heard of outside of the borders of
Darlington County?
We are aware of the fact that
Gov. Tillman’s prosperity is too
great for him to be reached by
any shaft we may direct against
him. We realize that any
criticism we may make of his
conduct only serves to strength
en him with his admirers. We
have not forgotten our express-
el determination to abstain
from discussing in these col
umns the circumstances leading
up to the deplorable tragedy en
acted here last April, to “let by
gones be by-gones”, to do all in
our power to restore peace and
harmony in the State. But,situat
ed as we are, believing as we do
that the duty of speaking out at
this juncture in no uncertain
tones devolves upon us, we feel
that we would be recreant to that
duty if we stood quietly by and
admitted, by our very silence,
the truth of Gov. Tillman’s as
sertions. Our people may not
have been entirely without
fault throughout this matter,
and we have never contended
that they were, they would not
have been human had they
been: but how great is the hu
miliation of having our conduct j
colored and distorted out of
all recognition, and then held
up to the world in an effort to
bring disgrace upon us! And
that, too, by the Governor of
the State himself, the head of
the Commonwealth, he who is
supposed to be the humane ruler
and kindly protector of the peo
ple! Thanks to the character
of those who comprise this com
munity, Darlington will survive
his vituperation and slander,
his abuse of power and shame
ful tyranny, and will live for
great deeds in the future his
tory of the State, long after the
name and fame of B. R. Till
man have taken the place in
that history to which they pro
perly belong!
It May Do as Much for You
Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111.
writes that he had a Severe Kid
ney trouble for many years,
with severe pains in his back
and also that his bladder was
affected. He tried many so call
ed Kidney cures but without
any good result. About a year
ago he began use of Electric
Bitters and found relief at once
Electric Bitters is especially
adapted to cure of all Kidney
and Liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One
trial will prove our statement.
