When Gov. Tillman paid his hotel bill
here, or when it was paid for him, he paid
at the same rates any other guest would
have paid. When he'paid for public re-
ception in the hotel'he paid only what any
other guest would have paid under the
Gov, Tillman knows
enough of hotel management to know that
such receptions are charged for and that
his bill here was very light one. He
knows that men sometimes pay several
hundred dollars for public receptions.
Even granting that the charge was "most
outrageous piece OF extortion," it wae
private matter solely between Manager
White and Governor Tillman, and the
received the same treatment any
other guest would have received.
Greenville News, 18th: "Capt. E: A.
Smyth, of the PeiZer manufacturing COM
papy, while discussing the Snipes matter
yesterday, made. incidentally, a aignifi-
can't statement. He said the operatives at
Pelzer had deposited in the savings bank
there $4,000. On this they were paid
per cent. interest Eleven thousand dol
lars of the deposits have been withdrawn,
however, much of it being loaned by the
operatives to farmers at from 8 10 10 per
cent. In other words, the laborers have
become capitalists Meu, and women,
GOO, are putting out the money they have
WORKED for and honestly earned to earn
them more and to accumulate so as to
make their old age honorable and easy.
That Is q beautiful thing to think Of. May
Heaven help as to the time when every
laborer In South Carolina will have lit
tie store of his or her own to fall back upon
and secure comfort with against the com.
ing of hard times or iafirmities."
Our Bolton correspondent requests us to
insert the following in pur local columns:
."Mr. J. j. Kelly, who lives near Bolton,
requests your correspondent to correct
false rumor which seems to be very much
circulated by someone. Mr.. Kelly had
been building and had some men employ
ed, who happened to be followers Of Till
man. On the Tuesday after the meeting
at Williamson and Cedar Grove his lum.
ber gave out. He had to leave homo that
morning and go to his saw mill and just
left word with his wife that as lumber was
out he wouldent need them for awhile.
From so small beginning as this, the ru--
NOR started that Mr.. Kelly had discharged
some men because they were Tillmanites,
and had said he would never empty anoth.
er Tillmanite. Mr. Kelly wishes this to
have an emphatic denial he is very much
hurt that such report should be circulated
against him. Your correspondent has
known Mr.. Kelly for q long time and can
readily testify Of his worth as mrn and
Of the high degree of success as farmer
which has attended his efforts. Before
difference in political opinions came to be
considered akin to personal enmity noman
was mere highly esteemed By the very
men who are probably circulating this re-
port. Mr.. Kelly has, in very practical
way, befriended some of the men who
were working for him, and he doesn't want
to believe that they are circulating such
false report, but on the other hand thinks
they would deny the charge"
