HEARD, THOUGHT AND SEEN.

3zT There are quite a number of peo-
pie who are slow to appreciate the
value Of the free rural delivery service
now being established IN various direc-
tions from Yorkville:. but Mr.. James
Biggers, Of the Ramah section, Is nor
one of them. He sees the advantage
clearly and appreciates it. Speaking OF
the subject last Wednesday, he said:
Just what the total value of free de-
livery will be to me I am unable to say;
but the money value is not less than
SIS a year. I figure 1t out. like this:
live q miles from. the postoftice. and
unless I get my newspapers when 1t
is fresh, do not want it at all. To get
it fresh requires two trips week and
to make them takes about five hours.
Calculating the time at so cents day.
which would be about right for that
kind of work, it would amount to Sl3
q year. My free delivery box Is within
a quarter of mile Of home, and the
expense of going to 1t. amounts to lit
tie or nothing. Besides the convent
ence, I now get my mail six days q
week instead of only two days week
as heretofore, and am put In so much
closer touch with the outside world.
Yes, I think the rural free delivery ser
vice is q great thing, and you Will find
that before a great while longer every
body in the country who is not already
pleased, will be looking at the matter
pretty much as / do

Two years ago. Col. Jim Tillman was
preaching the doctrine Of white money
for white schools. and now that Col.
Talbert is undertaking to make CAPT.
tai along the same line this year, Col.
Jim is pointing out how the idea could
not be incorporated into law for the
reason that it is unconstitutional. But
1t is all the same with Col. JIM and also
with Col. Talbert. Col. Jim knew two
years ago that the proposition was un-
constitutional as we'll as Col. Talbert
does now: but both understand that
there are a large class of people who
love to hear abuse of the Negro, wheth-
er there is reason or sense in the abuse
or not. And it is fact that there
really are some votes to be made along
this line.

GAINS SPRING PICNIC.

The picnic announced for Gains
Spring on Thursday, brought out quite
a large number of people from the sur
rounding county. and the presence OF
number of candidates for congress,
along with quite number OF candid
ates for state offices, added to It's i'm
portance.
Thursday was an.,.off day with the
candidates for state offices: but m st
of them arrived in Yorkville from CAT
ney during the morning. and as they
could find no more advantageous way
of putting in the day, they availed
themselves of a general invitation to
attend the picnic. That Is, most OF
them did. A few of them went on
through to Rock HILL returning in the
afternoon, and four or five remained IN
Yorkville to get what they considered
much needed rest.
The crowd at the picnic has been
variously estimated at from 300 to 500.
It was gathered mostly from the imme-
diately surrounding country, and in
cluded many ladies. All Of the county
officers. with the exception Of Colonel
McCorkle. went out, and besides num-
ber Of other candidates for county Of
fees were present.
Mr.. John E. Carroll presided and in
tDduced the speakers. commencing
with the candidates for congress. who
addressed the audience In the following
order: J. w. Floyd. w. B. Wilson, T.
]. Strait, D. E. Finley. Each con-
sumed about 20 minutes. Their
speeches were for the most part enter
tanning and instructive; but as there
were no issues, there was no excite
ment
Among the other candidates who
spoke were Messrs. B. L. Caughman
and ]. c. Wilborn, for railroad COM
missioner; Cole L. Blease for lieuten-
ant governor: ]. Thomas Austin, for
secretary of state: ]. ]. McMahan for
superintendent of education: A. w.
Jones and N. w. BROKER for comptrol-
Ter general; w. H. Zimmerman. D. c.
Hayward. w. J. Talbert and ]. H. TILL
man, for governor.
Messrs. J. E. Beamguard and ]. E.
Lowry, candidates for the house of rep
resentatives. introduced themselves as
SUCH and Mr.. F. p. Mccain, also cam
didate for the house, made five min
utes' speech, during which he took oc-
casion to say that If elected he would
not vote for Colonel Talbert's PROPOSE
tion Of white money for white schools,
because it is unconstitutional. Besides
being unconstitutional, he said 1t was
unnecessary. The same end Is now be-
ing accomplished in a better and more
satisfactory way, and it Is safer to
keep the matter off the statute hooks
and consequently out of the courts.
There was an abundance Of good
| things to eat, and all Of the picnick-
ers had an enjoyable day.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

- Most Of the candidates for state Of
fees were entertained at the Parish no.
tel. A few enjoyed the hospitality OF
friends.
Mayor Willis had the streets sprin-
kled during Thursday for the benefit
of the crowd that was expected yester-
day; but a good shower on Thursday
afternoon greatly improved upon his
work.
The dispensary was closed yester-
day morning and up to the time THE
ENQUIRER went to press. on account OF
the state campaign meeting. 1t would
seem reasonable that. the great moral
institution should have been kept open
upon an occasion while 1t was under
especial consideration, In order that the
people most interested should have a
practical demonstration of its opera
ton.

give up yet the doctor managed to in
terest the postmaster general, and that
official was so struck with the. practica-
bility Of the whole plan that he assum-
ed the responsibility Of letting out star
route contracts in South Carolina for
the four years beginning July l, 1900, in
accordance with the terms Of the BILL
The experiment was not tried In any
other state except South Carolina; but
after the letting Of the contracts, the
postmaster general was so pleased with
the result that he advised DR.. Stokes
that the same provision would be in
corporated in subsequent contracts In
other states. Whether or not 1t has
since been applied elsewhere, we do not
know: but certain it is that all star
route carriers in South Carolina are
required by the terms Of their con-
tracts. to deliver mail free of charge
in boxes erected between postoffices
along their respective routes.
AS to whether Mr.. A. c. Latimer ever
really claimed credit for this achieve
ment that was so unquestionably the
work Of DR.. Stokes. we cannot say.
Both DR.. Stokes and Mr.. Latimer had
interested themselves in behalf of in
creased appropriations for the regular
free rural delivery service, and they
had engaged in a newspaper controver-
sy on the subject. In speech at Tir-
zah, in the summer of 1900, Mr.. Lati-
mer made claims as to his efforts IN
behalf Of free delivery, and people who
heard him understood that he was re-
ferring to free delivery along star
routes" 1t was this incident that in
duced DR.. Stokes to write the letters
that Mr.. John Gary Evans Is using
against Mr.. Latimer in the present
campaign.

AT Newberry recently, Colonel James
H. Tillman turned to the reporter for
The State and News and Courier. and
with a show Of intense earnestness,
requested that he be reported as say
ing, IF any editor has any more
charges to make against me, let him
make them to my face" The request
sounded ominous for the security Of
annoying little editors, and there SEEM
ed to be reason to tremble for what
might happen. But it has developed
that the thing was not really serious.
1t was merely an empty gasbag, and
Mr.. DeCamp. the first editor that COL
onel Tillman afterward encountered,
punctured it completely. In addition to
the accurate story Of the incident by
Mr.. Norment, as published today. THE
ENQUIRER has unquestionable author
ity for saying that after the meeting.
Mr.. DeCamp challenged Colonel Till
man to a more complete settlement of
the matter then. there. anywhere. and
in any way that the colonel might
choose. Colonel Tillman said he did
not care to discuss the matter further.
Mr.. DeCamp went with the campaign
party as far as Blacksburg. putting
himself in the way Of Colonel Tillman
at every opportunity. without getting
a chance at the further satisfaction for
which he was evidently so anxious. 1t
develops also that Mr.. DeCamp claim
ed that he had mailed Colonel Tillman
a statement Of his indebtedness to
Crit and Steel "a paper devoted to
cockfghting) for nearly two years. and
It was not, until the colonel became
candidate for office that he would ever
pay any attention to these notices.

The Free Delivery Controversy.

The Free Delivery controversy.
Elsewhere in this issue, Is published
from the Augusta Chronicle, the story
of the origin of free rural delivery in the
United States, and while this story Is
interesting and true. it really bears no
relation to the controversy now in prog
ress between Messrs. John Gary Evans
and A. G. Latimer. SO far as we know,
Mr.. Latimer has never claimed to be
the father of free rural delivery, and
we are quite certain that the late DR..
J. William Stokes never made such a
claim.
There Is no reason to doubt the abSo-
lutte correctness of the claims of Mr..
Thomas E. Watson as to his connection
with the origin of free rural delivery.
Although Mr.. Watson did not originate
the idea even in the United States. to
him belongs the credit Of having SC.
cured the first appropriation for eXper-
mental purposes, and free rural deliv-
cry owes it birth to this first small ap-
preparation. This was several years
before DR.. Stokes became a member Of
congress. and while the doctor did ali
he could for the development of this
phase of the service. he went further
and became the originator of a distinct
improvement on the old system on his
own account This was free delivery
along star routes.
70 Tn1x 1
such thing as free deliveries of mail
along star routes. The star route car
riers were required by contract only
to deliver sealed pouches between post
offices. They delivered letters and other
mail TO patrons between offices only by
special arrangement with those pa
irons. Sometimes contractors either
refused to deliver mail in this manner
or demanded more from their patrons
than the service was reasonably worth,
and, as the result, there was no little
annoyance to all concerned. With a
view to smoothing over this situation,
DR.. Stokes introduced bill requiring
that future star route contracts pro-
vide for free delivery of mail to patrons
who should put up boxes between post
offices. This was in February, 1899.
After a lot of hard work. DR.. Stokes
got his bill through the house over to
the senate. where it was smothere3 in
committee. For awhile it looked as if
the project was dead: but as the next
SteD the doctor managed To tack on to
an appropriation bill an amendment
carrying out the same idea. and Sena-
tor Tillman looked after this amend
ment in the senate: but despite the eff
forts of both gentlemen, the item met
it's death in a committee on free con-
ference.
1t seemed now as if Dr.. StOkess
scheme was doomed; but unwilling to

Mr.. j. T. CAN'T who, as assistant, has
virtually been secretary Of state dur

to this important office. AS to the quail
ifications or claims Of the other candi-

it is fact that the people Of the state
are under much obligation to Mr.. CAN'T
for much valuable information about
the office that they have gotten through
the newspapers during the past four
years. Mr.. CAN'T has done great deal
Of work that he was not required to do.
and made common with the general
public, much important information
that was previously held principally by
the lawyers. If he should be elected
and prove as efficient in the position
of principal as he has been in the posi-

have no cause to complain.
