Air Open Letter to Tillman. CU. L~ if. Moore, of Greenwood, Gives the Gooemor Some More Advice. /Governor B. R. Tillman, Columbia, Dear Sir : You remember my writing you a letter last year, when . 1 first heard of your accepting a free pass and urging upon you the neces? sity of at once repenting of the sin ?and...returning the pass to Bunch IL tub! you then if yon refused to do no that you would go ou from bad to -worse until you would be finally lost, 'ton. refused to take the advice of your friends, and now see your lost condition. Governor, that pass was your first step to ruin. That was to you what the first drink of whiskey ia.to.the drunkard, or the first game <if cards to the gambler. You 4mve gone from one bad thing to another, ?util yon aie hopelestdy lost. Yon bare committed the unpardon? able aet, if what is reported about yo* ts ?nie? . To ask you that -ques? tion ia arny 1 write you this letter lt ts (nie; Had you paid your tax wfeen yon refiused to sign the bi il pausad by both houses, to extend the time- of paying taxes ? Did yon snake the poor farmers of this State ride from five to thirty miles to reach the Court hoose, ??td 2c*vc their homes at midnight, (many having to leave their families unprotected) in older to get therein time; forcing our county treasurers to et-nd out runners in the more distant parts <*l the county, warning the people to ?come at once, (and be it said to tlie credit of the tteasurers) promising t<* spend the entire night in their offices writing receipt? to save the fat mer? the penalty ? Were you that night sleeping sweetly in the governor's mansion, dreaming of the $3,500 we are paying you, and your taxes un? paid V if all this be true, (but it swe?y can't be), that is the unpardon? able sin, and that one thing has caused you to lo?e at least "ten thous* amt ff your braves." "The bm a in large numbers came in today to know about it, and asked ?rn? to wiite yon at once. They *f*?trt like to believe anything they ?i- e io some papers. They said that th* picture business, flowers, jog board, tax returns, etc., are Isleo iU*1 gnat cu the ox horn com pared U> the way they have been j ftt-ated un tlie tax-paying. Governor, if what is said should be trnv, I dettbt if you will have one j "brave" le 4 in this section "to tell thc tale " Soufe of the boys (fanner boys) were talking of the five-dollar joggling boatd. They did not seem to understand exactly what it was When 1 told them they said, could you not have saved the ?tate some money by building one panel offence and running a plank through the crack and let one child get on each end, and lay see saw ? Sam J linton sayshis children play that way every oayfawl it don't cost him nigh five {lullars. Now, governor, yon see all this {rouble started by you taking that free pass Would that you h d tak- j eu n?y advice last year and returned j that pass to Bunch. You would then have been our governor for four years, but that free pass, that free pass, has been your ruin. Your friend socially, Greenwood, January, 15. L. M. MOORE. P. S.-Can't I truthfully say, ' I told vou so f?- News and Courier. Some Questions. We want to put a question or two to the men who supported Gov. Till? man so enthusiastically in 1890, and ask them'to auswer honestly to them? selves. Suppose Capt. Tillman as a candi date had told them trom the stump thal members and connections of a single family in this State were occu? pying five public offices and drawing among them salaries aggregating more than $13,000 ? Would not that have been denounced as an outrage and an illustration of the existence of an "oligarchy ?" George D. Tillman is a Bepresentative in Congress at $5,000 a year, and, we feel bound lo say, ie worth every dollar of it; his eon is clerk of his committee at $2,000 ; a son-in-law, we are told, is private secretary to Senator Irby at somewhere from $1,500 to $1,800; Gov. Tillman is Governor at $3,500 a year, a gentleman who is said to be a near connection of his has a clerk? ship in the lunatic asvlum at $1,000 or ?1,200. Now all these appointees may be first rate men. We know nothing to the. contrary The poiut we wish to develop is that some of the very things so much row was made about in the former governments are being done in this present era of supoosed "reform." Suppose under Gov. Richardson's administration, for instance, a mem? ber of the Douse had been given a clerkship in the Comptroller's office and had held both places, resigning his clerkship while the Legislature was in session and taking the leader? ship of the administration forces on the floor ? Cau we not imagine how Candidate Tillman would have harped on that and rung the changes on it ? Ask any member of the House or Sen? ate you may happen to know if that very thing was ?ot done in Columbia this winter. Suppose the management of the Lunatic Asylum, a few years ago, had from all the herds of cattle in the State picked out the Lerd of Gov. Richardson or Gov. Sheppard or Gov. ilagood from which to purchase twelve milch cows at $36 each Cannot all of us imagine with what sneering face Candidate Tillman would have recited the >tory from the stump ? We all remember how free ly the Railroad Commissioners were spoken of as being "tamed," and how "incipient corruption" and some? thing being rotten in the State of Denmark were talked iii the campaign of 1890. * I Very little was said about such matters until Captain Tillman and hi- < friends broached and dv^elt on every ' instance of the kind They are not very impoitant, they are not in any] way criminal, in ordinary cireumstan ces they would hardly be worthy of attention. What we w"ut men to ask themselves, however, is whether Gov. Tillman ought not to be tried by the standards and rules estab? lished in our politics by Candidate Tillman ? Whether the mau who does or allows to be done the very things he rebuked others for doing ou^ht to be rewarded, honored and trusted ?-Greenville News. Congressman George D. Till mao. . The committee on patents is the twenty-seven tb ou the list. Its chair? man is George JD Tillman, of South Carolina. He is quaint and hone.-t, and makes speeches that touch the n ar row. In appearance he somewhat re sembles Horace Greeley But there is a manly ring to his voice a? well as virility tn his arguments. Once con? vinced that bets right, neither persua? sion nor force eau drive him from his position. He is a brother of the Gov en.or of toe Palmetto State, and has all his brother's characteristics No mao uses the Southern dialect more j penetratingly. Detecting jobbery in legislation he Bies at it like a bulldog, and there is ootbiug left of it when he gets through with it. Mr. Tillman was 65 years old last August. Bora in South Carolina, be received an academical education in Georgia. He afterward eut< red Har? vard, but did not graduate. He stud? ied law, and was admitted to the Bar in 1848. He served as a private in the 3d South Carolina iufantry and in the 21 regiment of artillery. After tbe war he became a cotton planter. In the ante-bellum days he had been a member of the State L?2tslature. He 'was elected to t4ie State Constitutional Convention under the reconstruction proclamation ??f Prendent Johnson. Afterward he became State Senator un? der the new Constitution. He was a candidate for the45th Congress, and unsuccessfully contested the seat of Robert Smalls. The committee ou elections reported io favor of vacating tbe election, but the House failed to act on the report This is Mr. Tilling"*? eeveoth term j here. I<n the 47th Congress he flint j took his ?eat. J. Warren Keifvr was elected Speaker, aod Mr. Tillman oust I ed to make room again for Geo Smalls Mr. Tillaian was a member of the com? mittee on patents in the 50th and 51st Congresses. it is safe to say that no patent will ever be renewed while he is chairman of tfcat committee. He usually makes two or three speeches each session, and they are speeches that command not only the attention but the admiration of the House. He belongs to the old school of statesmen now almost extinct. South Carolina may well be proud of him.-Amos Cum? mings io N Y Son. -.mmmmmm- .<??. - - Capt. J. Elmore Martin bas been ? elected by the reform council, of Charles? ton, to the po?itiou of Chief of Police. . it is said that Prince George of Wales, i the new heir presumptive to the throne of Englaud is a proficient swearer of strange oaths, but ia withal a hearty, genial young man, greatly liked by his associates Ohio white caps broke the ice in a creek near Sr. Joseph, and ducked a man named Ch.?s Peterson and a woman named Mary Shelbrost on the 16th, because they disregarded- an order to have the country The woman was ill at. the time and it is thought that she will die from thc effects of the ducking.

The Iron Horse's Breathing. . The "breathing" of a locomotive that is to say, the number of puffi given by a railway engine during its journey-depends upon the circum? ference of its driving wheels and their speed. No matter what their rate of epeed may be, for every one round of the driving wheels, a loco mot i\e will give four pufis-two out of each cylinder, the cyli.ideis being double. The size? of driving wheels vary, some being 18, 19 20 and even 22 feet in circumference, although they ! are generally made of about 20 feet. The express speed varies from 54 to 58 nities an hour. Taking the cicumference of the driving wheel to be 20 feet and the speed per hour 50 miles, a locomotive will give, going at express speed, 880 puffs per minute, or 52,800 pufis per hour, the wheel revolving 13,200 times iii 60 minutes, 1056 puffs per mile. Therefore, an express going from London to Liverpool, a distance of 201 34 miles, will throw ont 213,048 puffs before arriving at its destina? tion. During the tourist season of 1888 the journey from Loudou to Edinburgh was accomplished in less than eight hours, the distance being 401 miles, giving a speed through ut of 50 miles an hour.

The year has been marked by a greater ad? vance than any similar period since ihe Mag? azine was established. Not only has the literary and artistic excellence been main? tained and increased, but a corresponding gain has been made in the sale and influence of the Magazine. At the end of 1891 the cir? culation has risen to more than 14U.?O0. It may justly be promised thar rh? further im? provements for the year will he proportion? ate to these largely increased opportunities. FOR NEXT YEAR.

It is proposed to publish a series of arti? cles upon a scale not before attempted, giving the results of special study and work among the poor of the great cities. The plan will include an account of the conditions of life in those cities (in many lands) where the re? sults of research will be helpful for purposes of comparison as well as for their own intrin? sic interest. While, from a scientific point of view, the articles will be a contribution of great importance, the treatment will be thoroughly populnr, and the elaborate i Ilus? tra i ions will serve to make the pr?sentation of the subject vivid as well as picturesque.
