! SENATOR TILLMAN AND CLEMSON. f More about Conflicting Jobs and the I Senator's "Double Calls of Duty". Here is the view of the Manning Times regarding Senator Tillman'i Clemson college trusteeship: The Kingstree Kecori> is aftei Senator Tillman for violating the State constitution by holding mon than one office, but notwithstanding the argument the Columbia Stat< makes 011 the question in its issiu Monday,we do not believe Tillman '? trusteeship of Clemson college is lr /Notation of the law. Mr. Clemson T.'fore the constitution of 1*95 ^ named Tillman as a life trustee, hit ^ acceptance of the trust completed the transaction.and no law the Stat< cau make will 'break the trust re %rpo3ed by the will. Tillman is a law ful trustee of Clemson, but in qui opinion he is violating the law a; trustee of "Winthrop. The inevitable bgic of that posi tion as to Clemson college is that th< fundamental law of South Carolim is subordinate to the personal wishei of Mr Clemson at the time of his be quest; it is, in practical effect, admission that because Mr Clemson spok( first, his voice must prevail agaii.si the letter and spirit of the law of th< land. Let us further illustrate, by at: analogous case, where the reasoning of Mr Jillman and The Times wil carrv them. Suppose that ;'befort " J A * the constitution of 1S95" was adopt ed, it had been proposet^to organize at Pendleton a bank with a hall million dollars capital, and that Mi Clemson had agreed to subscribe fifty thous^n^tlollars to the capita on condition that Mr Tilluiar be chosen president for life; su ppos< the condition was accepted, Mr Till man elected and, previous to tlx adoption'of the constitution of 1S95 had accepted the trust. Has the con. stitution, which declares that no ont shall hold two offices of honor 01 profit simultaneously, no power t< make Mr Tillman decide between hit trust b^nk presidency and his senatorsbip. It is preposterous to conceive oi such impotency upon the part of tlx State. It is not assumed that the comi monwealth can enact a law compell ing any citizen to abandon au offlct of trust bestowed by some powei other than the common wealth,but tc such an office-holder the State car and does say: "You hold an offic< y^not given you by the State; here i; * one given you by the State; you an forbidden bv the constitution to holt . but one office at a time. So choos< between them. If you accept thii one, the other is, by that act, va A ted."
