-. / am not thrustlng my
ATE opinions on the public,
wish to state facts. | will say that
for awhile l was not supporter Of
Mr.. Tillman i'll all is views. All
along agreed with MIN on State
issues. = But to return;
Pedagogue said not four months
ago that he wished every school
district were at the bottom of the
Atlantic. Yet last yeaf I heard
l1ia stss i1Et tlaesbg road and
make powerful appeal for school
districts. / can prove this by three
or four substantial citizens. One
of my friends told me not long
since in an authoritative to let
Pedagogue alone; for said be,
"He's crazy" / honestly believe it.;
for he makes the widest, the most
uncalled for statements magma
bile. He went out of his way to
attack the preachers; he brought
in the Catholic church-both of
which were entirely Irrelevant. I
was trained in a denominational
college and am in aposition to
know more about their workings
than a man trained in a military
school.
"Diogenes was a patriot" he was
a calamity bowling patriot. You
say our school interests suffered
by your not being elected commits
sioner, maybe they did, but as "un-
Gle George Johnstone" would say,
"It am takin de peepel a monstus
long time ter diskibber dat fac" !"
They may find it by the time of
the Milleaium, if it's long enough
off.
"You will always find me on my
platform" Yes I saw you Oh a
platform once, saving the air with
a long right hand, screaming and
piping most piteously.
Yes I would vote for you to
aFly DER the backside of the world
far off, into a limbo large and
broad, since called The paradise of
fools.
But you tell me goodbye 1
thought you were in 1t "for the
summer" I took you at your word
and let loose but your naughty
things" wouldn't come at your
bidding and you had to funk. The

than writing against a way off
man WHICH I am doing now. Ped
agogue had better make another
map of Saluda county. He made
such fine one before.
merely wish to state to friend
Dido that my failing TO reply was
because / thought the public was
sick of the subject. She brings
up Solomon to prove that w. s..
has been success in Wyoming.
She ovorlooks the fact that some
times securing au h or ty
is proved from partial or cor
rupt sources.
Doesn't everybody know that
politicians will testify to the good
or bad effects in anything under
heaven, just as it suits them. If
the women are a controlling tac-
tor in any election does she sup
pose that Governor is going to
say anything against their fitness
to vote. Not bit of it. He wants
those women to vote for him and
wouldn't hurt their feelings for
the world. That Legislature which
passed those Gommendaiory reso-
