THURSDAY, JAN. 14. 1909.
Tillman and Roosevelt.
We have read carefully the
available published reports of the
Rooeevelt-Tillmau squabble, including
Senator Tillman's speech
in his own defense delivered in
tke Senate last Tuesday. While
the macbanical limitations of a
county weekly newspaper prevent
our giving a detailed account of
the affair this week we hope in
next week's issue of The Reo
ord to publish a digest of the
whole matter and we are trying
to arrange to give our readers the
, full text of SenatorTillman's
speech.
Our own opinion] is that the
sensational attack of President
Roosevelt will have but little
effect upon the people of South
Carolina, whether they be for or
against Tillman. This -belief is
confirmed by the alacrity with
which the Legislature has passed
its resolution praising Tillman's !
action. Whether or not the Senator's
standing with bis colleagues
in tha United States Senate and
the people of the country at large j
>ia .effected remains to be seen.
At jest the position of Senator (
v Tillcnar. is not an enviable* [one
| '* and even his most ardent admirers
? must admit that the affair lias
added no lustre to his.J reputation ]
as "the one honest \ man in the (
Seaate." (
The conclusion of th? whole
matter hinge* on a question of
yeradty. Those who believe unqualifiedly
Senator Tillman when
he declares that his motives were
pure will exonerate him from ail
blame other than a slight indiscretioa,
while those who impugn
his motives must believe him
guilty of every count in the indictment.
But as to the part played by i
the President there will be in this i
State but' small difference of opinI
EViati.l Mild fop of Till- I
l\JUf X 1IVIIU V...V,
man agree that, in the circum- J
state -djKoosevelt's espionage through ,
-Government spies upon the high- J
est representative of a sovereign *
I
# State towards whom he felt a i
personal enmity was an outrage
against tMe United States Senate
and the decent and fair-minded
* ^ American people.
The Frog in the Well.
We are informed by the coun- i
ty commissioner that there are
outstanding claims against the
* T ? ' ?
road fund amountiug to $1,056.07
\
with no money to pay them. The
same condition, as we understand
it, existed two years ago, only the
deficit was then about $12,000.
The money was borrowed from
the Sinking Fund to meet these
\ claims and a special tax of one
mill levied to pay the debt, two-)
thirds of which is still unpaid, j
Now it looks as though the legislature
will have to be appealed
to again to allow moremoney to be
. ,5 ..
>
borrowed and more taxes levied : J
to pay off the new indebtedness. ,
It begin^ to resemble the oldprob-j
lem of the boy bt>y figuring the
1
frog out of the well when we
try to calculate how long before
the county will be out of debt
