Discusstng Britisher's Death.

London, March Pin the house of
commons the Hon. Philip James Stan
hope, Liberal, asked If her majesty s
government had received a report OF
the lamentable occurrence at Manila
when a British subject named Simpson
had unfortunately been killed, whether
the government was aware that simp-
sons family was partially dependent
upon him and whether the government
would endeavor to obtain pecuniary
compensation for his family by friendly
representations to the government OF
the United States. The parliamentary
secretary of the foreign offce. Right
Hon. William st. john Brodrick, replied
that the mail dispatches with details Of
the affair cannot be received before
April and that with insufficient infor-
nation on the subject 1t was useless to
make representations to the United
states government for compensation.

mans original declarations in
good faith, the ProhibItionists
hold to them yet. They believe
that until the liquor evil is gotten
under still better control than it
is now, the dispensary is the best
solution of the question that has
ever been devised, and for the
present they are willing to hold
on to the dispensary: but at the
same time they are determined
on policy of restriction and cur
tailment rather thun of further
development of the liquor busi-

TILLMAN ATHEATH SPRING
rREroRrrD FOR rH% LEDGER. I

ty under the supervision of the
professors of Clemson College,
was held at Heath Spring on
Wednesday 23rd instant. There
was LARGE gathering from all
sections Of the county, the crowd
being estimated from one thou
sand to twelve hundred people.
EX- Representative II l. Hicklin
presided and introduced the
speakers. Col j & Sellers of
Marion spoke first-his subject
being the culture of tobacco. The
Colonel has had wide experience
in the raising Of tobacco in the
Peedee section of the State. He
thought the soil in the Heath
Spring section would make good
tobacco but he cautioned the
farmers not to cXperim ent on too
large scale. He said the crowd
present was the largest of the
fourteen meetings he had addressed
in the State.
Senator b II TilIman was next
introduced by the chairman as
"the great commoner whose
name was a household word in
South Carolina. " The Senator
was inter esting throughout and
held the close attention of his
large audience for an hour and ten
minutes. He was calm and dis
passionate when advising as to
best methods of farming and in
general matters, but when he
would touch on pelitics, be be-
came very much animated, and
as remarked by IL drummer on
one occasion "his one eye would
blaze like the headlight of loco
motive" The subject assigned
him was"the practical workings of
Clemson Winthrop and Colleges. "
He said he would not stick close
to this subject Is everybody cor.
rcctly informed ought to know the
workings of these two great IN
stitntions. He said that Clemson.
Winthrop and the dispensary wore
his three children conceived and
brought forth by the Reform
moyement-that his enemies were
constantly trying to undermine
and destroy them, believing that
thereby they would bring about
his political death. He said that
Representative Smith Of Sumter
county had Jumped on the calleges
in general and him in particular.
That while in Sumter he had
made two speeches, one in the
forenoon and one in the afternoon.
That he had made a nice pleasant
speech in the morning. Some
people did not believe he could
make such speeches but he could.
In the afternoon Mr. Smith made
Il speech announcing that he in
tended rubbing off some of the
butter eX Senator Abbott had
pIaStered on his back IN his speech
of introduction. He said he had
no objection to the butter being
removed in gentle way, as DR.
Abbott had rather gone beyond
the prOprieties of the occasion,
but instead of removing the butter
gently, Mr. Smith had used a
curry comb and had raked his
h'de-and besides he had attacked
his little girl Winthrop who was
near and dear to his heart. Mr.
Smith claimed that too much mon
ey is wasted on the two colleges,
that instead, it ought to be dis
tributed among the free schools
all over the State. Senator Till
man said that was impracticabIe
because all the money would not
run the free schools more than

ooiu Ihat SicluSOu ulu turn out
some dudes but it was the fault of
the girls who were constantly
running after them, being attract
ed by their gay uniforms and
brass buttons. He said that MIR
Smith claimed thatSClemson and
Winthrop were for the rich mans
sons and daughters. This he
claimed was an appeal to ignorance
and prejudice, because there was
no girl or boy in South Carolina
who with proper application and
pluck could not graduate at either
one Of the colleges. He instanccd
the case of a poor boy who made
his way through Clemson by
working near the college during
his vacations. He advised the
farmer to educate their children
and to learn them that they bad
to "sweat" to accomplish any
thing in their life. He said he
believed money spent for educa.
tion would bring in large returns.
That he had endeavored, when a
mem Der OF the constitutional con.
ventiOn to make the poll tax three
dollars, so that the negro should
be made to bear some of the ex-
pense for educating his children.
That he also favored a three mill
tax for schools. Senator Till>
man then gave an amusing ac-
count of his experience in tobac-
co raising. Said he had been too
smart and had bit off more than
he could chaw. That he had
planted twelve acres instead of
three or four. That he had to
water the whole crop by hauling
water in barrels. Some one in
the crowd remarked that barrels
must be plentiful in his county.
He said no he had gathered to-
gether some kerosene and molasses
barrels and few whiskey barrels.
That his experience with his to-
bacco this year had been some
what tough, but that he was bull
headed enough to 90 through
with it just like he did with every.
thing else. He said the farmers
were Jogging along like their
daddies, with "a rock in one end of
their sack and a pumpkin in the
other. That cotton was not prof.
table; it was the crop of the me-
gro and the lazy white man. He
urged the farmers to wake up and
be free men and to quit the life of
servltudc to the mortgage and the
agricultural lien. He advised ev-
cry farmer who was unmarried to
get HIM Il wife that IL man who
couIdn get Il wife was worse than
Il ilop-carcd dog and should he
drowned in the Catawba river. -
He touched on the negro question
by saying that he had spoken on
the subject in North Carolina and
had advised the people up there
to solve the problem with the
shot gun. He was asked his
opinion of the PHILIPPINE war. He
SAID that Mckinley thought he
had Il soft snap when he bought
the Islands; that few thousand
troops would subdnc the Insur-
gents and then he would have
soft places for Republicans, but
that he CTillman) predicted that
the war would be going on this
time next year and would result
in the defeat of Mckinley for res
election. Senator TiIlman closed
by announcing that he would be IL
candidate for re election next
year and that if anybody wanted
to oppose him, to come right
along and the longest pole would

Tillman and the Prohibitlonists
Yorkville Enquirer.

vi NiilC i1iH
Whether he said exactly what
he is reported to have said at
Sumter or not, there is no doubt
of the fact that, from his own adj
missions, Senator Tillman is very
hostile to ProhibitionIsts, and it
is equally clear also that this
hostility is not well founded from
any standpoint of justice.
People who are familiar with
the history of South Carolina
politics during the past dozen,
will not have to strain their
memories a great deal IN review
ing the period when Senator TiII~
man was on the fence on the whis-
key question. 1t was back in
1892. There was strong pro-
hibition sentiment throughout the
state then, and but few politicians
who dared monkey with the ques-
tion. Senator Tillman was
among the number who agreed to
allow the issue to be settled by
means of separate box in the
general primary, and he, like the
other politicians, was very careful
how he wagged his tongue, keep
ing that organ exactly in the mid
die of his head and generously
promising to obey the will of the
majority, as expressed at the
ballot box.
The result of the memorable
ballot that followed is often re-
ferred to with a weak kind of a
claim to the effect that a majority
of the people never expressed
themselves on the prohibition
question. 1t is not worth while
to argue this point. The total
number of votes cast in the pri-
mary of 1892 for Tlllman and
Sheppard was 81, 462. The total
number of votes cast on the pro-
hibition question was 70, ,24O. Of
these, 35, ,932 we're for prohlbi
ton, and 26, 352 against, leaving
the inference that rotwithstand-
ing general policy on the part
of most of the politicians t. dis
courage voting on this question
altogether, the subject was quite
interesting. The Prohibition
plurality in the state was $3.50.
1t was after this verdict that
Senator Tillman gave the state
the dispensary law. He gave this
law under pretense of furthering
prohibition. and it was on that
ground that it received the sup
port of Prohibitionists. In all
the terrible war that was after
ward waged by the liquor men Of
the state against the dlspensary
law, the PrOhibitionists stood firm,
and made the success of the law
possible. Had the Prohibitionists
Joined forces with the enemies Of
the law, then it would have been
swept from the statute books the
same rs would be the case in the
same event now. So instead of
abusing the Prohibitionists on this
question, it wouId become Sena-
tor Tillman much better if he
would acknowledge his obligation
to them on the subject, for basing,
rs he does, his career on the dis
pensary law, he owes to the Pro
hibitionIsts all that he is or cx-
poets to be.
When Senator TiIlman assumes
that the Prohibitionists of the
state are enemies to him or to
the dispensary law, he makes u
serious mistake. The Prohi-
