THURSDAY. JAN. 17.1907
Senator Tillman's Position.
We are anxious to see how Senator
Tillman's apologists are going to
explain his attitude in the Senate
on the Foraker resolution censuring
President Roosevelt for dismissing
a negro battalion from service because
certain members cf the command
shot and killed unarmed
and inoffensive citizens at lirownsville,
Teias.
It is a well known fact'that Till*
man hates Roosevelt for personal
reasons and he never fails an opportunity
to show'his^ spite. When
Tillman and McLaurin, as'the culmination
of their bitter feud, engaged
in a fisticuff on the floor of
the United States ^Senate they were
both held in contempt and until
purged by that body ^were?denied
their privileges as members of the
Senate. It was just at this time
that Prince Henry of Prussia visited
this country, and as chairman of the
Committee on Naval ^ Affairs, Senator
Tillman had been invited to the
White House to some function in
honor of the Prince. When the affray
in the Senate chamber and the
resultant proceedings transpired
Roosevelt recalled Tillman's invita
. (ioa to meet the Prince and Till*
man has never ^quite forgotten nor
forgi ten. the affront to his amour
prop re.
The foregoing is aucient history,
but we recite it here as a possible explanation
for the anomalous position
of the senior Senator from South
Carolina m aligning himself on this
questiou vrith "Fire Alarm" For
aker of Ohio, a man whose professed
love for the Afro-American amount*
| i
to idolatry and who never niisses the
*
chance to display his vindictive
hatred toward^the white people of
the South.
Both the Senators from Texas,
the State that is most ^immediately
concerned, are defending the^Presi
dent's course of actiou, and what
motive Tillman could have, other
than the personal rancor referred to,
for the fatuous and illogical part he
is playing iu the affair, it is hard to
conceive. If he has thus allowed his
prejudice to override his sense of
duty to the people who have so
highly honored him it is a policy
that is, to say the least of it, impolitic
and one that if persisted in
will work his undoing, however
strongly he may deem himself in v*
trenched in the hearts of his couB
sh'ments.

(Editor Ayer, of the Florence
Times, does not like it because the
banks won't lend money. Come
down here, brother, to Kingstree or
Lake City, and you can get all the
money you want from the banks, if
you have the "golateral."

Inside With The Editor. *
We ure endeavoring to publish a {
newspaper that will reflect credit on *
our town aud county, but it takes
money to keep it up to the present '
standard. The making of a first 1
class newspaper? eveu a weekly? '
entails a great deal more labor ??nd
expense than is appreciated by the
casual reader. To emphasize this
potut we may say that by cutting ,
down the quality of oar service we
-- -i? ?t-i: .u
cculd reduce tlie expense 01 puuutuing
this newspaper nearly fifty per
cent. But we don't want to do this;
yet unless the business men of the
county give tis their liberal eupport
in the way of patronizing our advertising
columns we shall be forced
to curtail expenses, and that
means that the paper will not meas- ,
ure up to the standard we have 'j
maintained for the past six months
since we adopted the "all home ,
print." j
We have made au appeal to our j
subscribers and in spite of the scare- ((
ltv of money they have responded t
right liberally both in the "where- (
withal" and words of kindly eu- (
couragemeut. Scarcely do we get a
renewal that is uot accompanied by (
some expression of appreciation for ,
the paper we are giving. (
Now, of course we do not wish to t
go back in lowering our present t
standard, as oui policy when practi- ^
cable is always to move forward, and j
we shall make the retrograde move- e
ment only when compelled by cir- ,
cumstances. We earnestly desire j
to give our readers the very best j
paper possible for a dollar aud they ,
can materially aid us in this direc- ,
tion without its directly coatiug b
them one ceut. Here it is in a uut- r
hell: Patronize our advertisers, j
You have to buy yonr merchandise t
somewhere and why not deal with g
the pnblic-8pirited business men <
who help to build up your county f
by making it possible to publish a
good newspaper? g
We have stated the case; now we t
ask our loyal subscribers to back us ,
up in our effort to publish a bright, (
newsy, all home print paper for j
1907 by buying what they need from ^
our advertising patrons and telling g
theui that you saw their advertise- <
menu in The Record. (

A Mnhle Life. I
The life of Dr Charles H Judson, (
Furman University's "grand old 1
man," who passed away last Satur- (
day, reads like the pages of a ro- 1
mance. Born and reared in Con- 1
necticat, of Puritan stock, he at- *
tended the high school of his native
village until early manhood when '
he went to New Haveii to engage in *
business. At about that time, we *
are told, he became interested in re- 1
ligious matters and joined the Bap- 1
tist church. About the same *
time he chanced to read "Locke's '
Essay on the Human Understand* (
iug." These two circumstances ^
changed the whole current of his being.
He went to college, working '
between terms to pay his way, was 1
graduated and went to school teach*

whs one of the founders of Fnrman 1
university, being professor of mathematics
there for fifty-six years. He
was also at one time president of t
Greeuville Female college and dur- i
ing the Civil war saved the property
of both that institution and Fur- (
man university from being destioyed.
He gave, in all, over $41,000 (
to Furman, making possible the
$100,000 endowmeut Only a few ]
weeks ago he was made a beueficiary 1
of the Carnegie Foundation Fund,
with an annuity of $1,000 a year. I
He attained the ripe old of eighty- '
six and his life was a blessing and j
in inspiration to humanity. WitL

Tillman's Speech.
We publish in this issue a brie
syuopis of Senator Tillrfian's speed
delivered iu the .Senate last Saturday
It is a remarkable deliverauee fror
several s'audpoiuts, and we wish w
had space to reproduce the whol
speech. "Cussing out'' the Presi
dent, the negro and the Democrati
party iu the North, it is haru t
tell what Tillman is driving at o
what he wants. That there will b
a bloody race war if the negro st.iy
iu the South he fieely prophesies
yet he declares he is opposed t
colouring the negro by sendiuj
him to Africa or elsewhere. He i
ready to go to battle to' kill the lie
?roes and yet he does not want t<
send them away?and why? Be
;ause Jit .ould be treating then
wnellv to unionize them.
Referring to Mingo Sanders, on<
>f the soldiers in the negro battalioi
iiustered out, be says that Ming*
joniesfroni South Catolina and h<
idds: "I would like to meet Mingt
ind shake his hand, but he isn'i
joing back to South Carolina
Pressed for a reason by Foraker, b<
laid iu substance that if Mingc
vere to come to Scuth Carolina uow
t would be unhealthy for him; bui
lad he come befoie his commune
*as dismissed without Potior h*
vould have been the biggest mat
it uegro camp-tneetings and received
espectful treatment from the whites
Sow, what impression does sue!
alk convey? Does anyone believ*
inch a condition exists ia South
Carolina, or that it does the Stat<
iny good to so distort things?
When asked what he though!
ibould be done with the negro Till
nan said he hadn't time to' discuu
hat question and so he went ou t<
,he end of his harangue until Sen
Patterson of Colorado was mored t(
jredict that the Democrats woulc
loon not have a single Northeri
senator, as the result of such dis
:ourse Tillman was entertaining th<
galleries with. To this Tillman re
orts: "So far as my own parly ii
concerned in the North it is a shin
ng example of ward politicians
lirty, low creatures, who use everj
actic and all means to buy votes
hat I dou't care if we never hav<
iny of that type to back us up.'
ro this Mr Patterson replied: I wil
lot rtply in any way to the last ut
erance of the Senator from Soutl
Carolina." lie bad got what hi
vauted and conld well afford to lei
t pass. Donbtless this remark wil
ippear in the Republic hand book
vith appropriate embellishment
luring the next presidential cam
paign.
Taking it as a whole, we are of th<
jpiniou that the whole country am
ind South Carolina in particula
would have been far better off hai
Mr Tillman left his speech un
3poken.
The Williamsburg farmers wer
very well within line in their ad
iress to the legislature asking fo
the repeal of the lien law and th<
raising of certain licenses that the;
want raised, but their appeal for thi
use of cotton bagging for cottoi
3ught to have been addressed some
where else. The legislature doe
not use any bagging at all.?Flor
?nee Tunes.
Verily you have to go away fron
home to find out some things abou
home matters. Now when did tm
Williamsburg farmers ever appeal ti
the legislature of South Carolini
with respect to the nse of cottoi
bagging? Smoke up, old man.
