SENATOR TILLMAN !
NOT THE MAN. ;
NEWSPAPER STORY SENT OUT FROM 10- '
LUHBIA ABOUT SENIOR SENATOR
BRANDED AS FALSE.
Mr A J Bethea, Governor
Ansel's private secretary, writes
the following letter, which ex- 1
plains itself:
Senator B R Tillman, Trenton, |
S. C. ;
My dear Sir: I have just read 1
the story in the iNews ana
Courier entitled "No Drink for
Tillman," copied from the NewYork
Sun, and to say that I am'
disgusted and outraged hardly1
expresses my feelings.
There is not a semblance of j
truth in this article, which of;
course, you know as well as I do,!
but in justice to you and to myself,
I hasten to write to assure
you that it did not come from
me nor any one connected with
the Governor's office.
There is only one way in which
it could possibly have originated, '
and the truth has been so dis- *
torted that it strains the imagi- '
nation to account for it
On Fridav of last week a gen
tleman came over from Winns
boro, and was in great distress
because he found the dispen- \
saries closed, making it im- J
possible for him to purchase 1
champagne, which he wished to
use at a reception at his home '
the next day. The Governor was
absent, and as he had ordered 1
the dispensaries closed for that
day and the next, I told the
gentleman I could do nothing for \
him, although he brought with
him a physician's certificate.
At the luncheon on Saturday I
sat by Mr Robert H Hazard, a
representative of the United |
Press, and during the course of
conversation, I related to him
the above story telling him of :
the distress of the gentleman,
but without any mention of his j
name, and certainly without any j
thought of yours in connection i
with it. |1
I do not say that Mr Hazard
wrote this article, but I cannot <
account for it in any other way. I
It is certainly far from the truth, |
and I hope you will understandj
that I resent it and that I object
to being made a party to a
newspaper story, which is utter- 1
ly without warrant and without
foundation.
Trusting this explanation will
serve the purpose for which it
is intended, and assuring you of;
my unwillingness to do you an
injustice, I am.
Yours, very truly, j
A J Bethea.
The dispatch complained of i
appeared Sunday in several;
papers, among them the Newj
York Sun and the Baltimore!
American. It reads as follows: j
Columbia, S. C., November1
fi*?Tnt> d?v in this citv in-1
convenienced Senator Tillman.
The Governor of South Carolina ?
has the power to suspend the
sale of liquor whenever he deems
it advisable. A large crowd was
gathering in this city yesterday
for Taft day and the Governor
ordered the dispensaries to close
for two days.
Along about this time Benjamin
R Tillman hit the town.
He had run over from Trenton,
his home, to get two bottles of
champagne. He was going to
have company at home and he
wanted the champagne br.dly.
He tried two or three dispensaries,
but they were closed.
Then the Senator hustled up to
the Governor's office and appealed
to his private secretary. .
The secretary allowed there was
nothing he could do.
"Well, couldn't I get two
bottles on a doctor's prescription?"
begged the Senator.
The secretary said the only \
way would be for the Senator to 1
find some friend and perhaps '
this friend would give him two 1
bottles. It would be against the i
law for him t? sell them. For j
the Senator to ltok for a cham- I
pagne cellar friend in Columbia ;
was a hopeless proposition. ;
Hadn't the senator just had a
big row with the Columbia 1
raft day reception committee
because they wanted to tax him '
?10 fnr hie spat at thp Taft
luncheon?
The Senator had told Columbia ^
to go to blazes with its luncheon,
or words to that effect. Finally
the Governor's secretary referred ]
the Senator to a friend of his,
and from him Mr Tillman got ;
his two quarts.
The Senator was a framerof
the South Carolina dispensary
law, and thus was getting a
taste of his own medicine. ]
Mulllnix-CannoD. s
Johnsonville, November 1?:?
A. very beautiful home wedding
took place at the parsonage, ]
the home of the bride's parents,
Rev and Mrs J L Mullinix at ]
Venters, on Thursday, the
mi. ;?a. u iL.:. J v.a J
ixiu insi, wiicu Liicii uauguici, j
Miss Nora Alice, became the <
bride of Mr Samuel J Cannon
of Johnsonville. The solemn
ceremony which united two
hearts "till death them do j
part" was performed by Rev J
L Mullinix, pastor of the
Methodist church. 1
g
Promptly at 1:30 p ra, when ?
Mrs R B Woodbury began ^
Mendelssohn's wedding march,
the bride entered with her sister,
Mrs Hessie L Reeder, as dame
of honor.
The groom entered with his
best man, Dr George V Cannon, s
The bride was attired in a <
tailored suit of blue with hat to 1
match, carrying a large shower j
bouquet of snow-white car- 1
nations and ferns.
The dame of honor wore blue j
messaline satin and carried a
large bouquet of white car- ;
nations and ferns.
The parlor was beautifully
and artistically decorated with
terns, evergreens, roses, etc., in
the center of which was sus- (
pended by ribbons a large 1
white bell, under which the
couple stood during the cere- i
tnony. '
Quite a number of beautiful *
presents were received, which
bespoke the popularity of the 1
bride and groom. (
Immediately after the ceremony
the happy couple lett ^
for the "Land of Flowers," (
where they will spend their
honey moon, returning after- <
wards to Johnsonville to make *
their future home here. (
We extend to them our most '
hearty congratulations and wish
them happiness through the
various vicissitudes ot life. 1

"All honor to him who shall win the i
prize," i
The world has cried fer a thousand
years.
Hut to him who tries,and who fails and .
dies
1 give great honor and glory and tears.
Give glory and honor and pitiful tears
To all who fail in their deeds sublime,
Their ghosts are uiany in the van of
years,
They were born with time in advance
of time. t
Oh, great is the hero who wins a name. ?
But greater m^ny and many a time, 1
?ome pale-faced fellow who dies in
shame, 1
And lets God finish the thought sub- ,
lime.
And great is the man with a sword i
undrawn,
And good is the man who refrains '
from wine.
Hut the man who fails and jet still
rights on,
Lo! he is the twin-born brother of
mine.

"The most merciless enemy I had
for 20 years," declares Mrs James 1
Duncan of llaynesville, Me, "was |
Dyspepsia. I suffered intensely after '
eating or drinking and could scarce- <
ly sleep. After many remedies had '
failed and several doctors gave me up, J
I tried Electric Bitters, which cured ,
me completely. Now I can eat any- j
thing. I am 70 years old and am 1

Try again!
Life is more than just one deed:
Try again!
Never stop with what you've done;
VIcre remains than you have won:
Pull content's vouchsafed to none;
Try again!
If you've won m lower plane,
Try again!
Life is more than one campaign:
Try again!
Send your guidons to the fore;
Strive to seize one standard more;
Still ungained are palms galore:
Try again!
[f at first you do succeed,
Try again!
Por future harvest sow the ?eed;
Try again!
Rise with sacred discontent;
Realize that life is lent

Try again!
If 4 4 Try again" be our motto, we
ihall not only have a dry county bat
