the matter, he had no cause to com

from him except his watch, his pocket
knife, some unlmportant letters and a
small part OF his money. The prin-

.OUT OF THE WOODS"
The Presidents Statement In Regard to
His Son.

Groton, Feb. 13.-Tbis afternoon
President Roosevelt, accompanied by
DR.. Lambert, came over to the Pow
ell cottage, the newspaper headquar-
ters, to personally meet the reporters
and correspondents who had been in
Groton since Sunday. He was in ex-
tremely good spirits as e shook each
man by the hand and said hearty
word to each. He said:
81 want to thank you boys for the
consideration which you have showed
myse.f and my family and for all the
courtesies which have been extended
to me- by the press. There has been
such sudden change in Ted that he
has come up al Of a sudden, and he
is now out Of the woods"
Continuing lie said: "Alice will
come over from Washington tenor
row to take my place, to certain
extent, while Mrs. Roosevelt will re-,
main here perhaps ten days more,
Then when Ted is in condition she
will take him to the white house for
while, but he Will return here and
continue his stddies.'
While referring to the illness of the
boy and some Of the games which he
was fond of playing, the president
said:

bone last fall playing football and
Mrs. Roosevelt said she was very
thankful for that as she considered
! that it insured him against breaking

The Columbus Enquirer Sun said
recently: Senator Tlllman con-
tinues to attract attention. How
ever, this so far is ABOUT all he has
done"
The Savannah Press replies: The
Enquirer Sun is mistaken. In spite
of his roughness Senator Tillman is
oIe of the most influential men in
the upper house. Some Of his ut
tezances jar the Senators and many
Of his retrorts are far from courteous.
But with all that, Senator Tillman
is power. His pitcbfork is feared
by all the members. He has done
more for South Carolina, measured
by practical results, than any man
who has been in Congress since the
war. 1t is strange that such tactics
should win especially in booy ir-
crusted with traditions and Eaupered
by rigid etiquette. Blu sometimes
man is needed to break through
these rules ruthlessly. Ben Tillman
is q reformer, some say fanatic,
but when he rises he generslly says
something. He acts and expresses
himself with energy and when he
goes to the departments in quest of
a naval dock or postoffice he
usually gets what he wants. Chales-
ton has secured, through Senator
Tlllman, some fat appropriations,
aud South Carolina, occupi' s larger
place in the public eye than she has
in many years. Some of her people
are shocked by the asperities of the
case. Tillman is not polished or
always parliamentary. There are
times when the English language
fails him in giving expression to his
vehement ideas. But he generally
has a message and he is not afraid
to say it. Tillman is like Sam Jones.
He is a man of flesh and blood, and
is as fearless ss Savanarola and az
rigid as Martain Luther. He does
not frame his thoughts with view
of pulling appropriations from the
public crib, but he gets them because
he is not cringing of truculent. He
makes ducks and brakes OF the Senate
traditions, and when he rises the
customs of a hundred years crash
like glass windows after q dynamite
explosion. But South Carolina can
get more with Tillman in the Senate
than with the regulation article
usually sent there, who is snufed
out by the weight of Senatorial
courtesy. There is an Ellenton ro&
every time he arraigns Republican
tactics.

llULuS, Oh., LItOiES
DR.. John o. Wilson in the Wesle-
yan Christian Advocate, of January
20, 1902, writes in a clear, logical,
convincing manner Of the terrible
ruin wrought in South Carolina
by the dispensary system.
We commend this article in it's
entirety to those who would be
led by the sophistries of the Floyd
dispensary advocates. Only it's
length precludes reproduction here,
but to show the influences of the sys
tenn in at least two directions the
following extracts are given:
"The ]iqnor traffic here has settled
down as matter of politics. This,
too, has been natural, but must be
increasingly unfortunate. 1t needs
no seer to see that corruption must
flow from political side of the liquor
traffic.
'Devoting the liquor profits to ed
ucaion ( Heaven save the mark sell
ing drink to educateD has helped to
entrench the dispensary. Half mil
lion dollars reported for education
not yet all avaiiable, understand
appeals tremeeaoaaly on the hust
iugs, instead Of @ Pew barroom men
being pecuniarily interested, the
whole population-or most Of it S
80 interested. Whom they tell you
that removing the liquor traffic from
the power OF individuals financially
interested makes it easier to 20 for
ward, tell them they are changing
from q tabooed man to a man in
place of honor, from few hundred
to many thousands following these
honored leaders,"
To these statements DR.. W. G.
Lovett, editor Of the Wesleyan Chris
tian Advocate, adds the following
powerful endorsement:
"We commend TO the advocates of
the dispensery the above strong and
clear statements from DR.. Wilson.
1t is the dispensary from the stand -
point of South Carolinian-a man
who has seen its beginning, marked
its progress and grown sick over the
ruin it has wrought.
"You are not oeddling in other
mems matters on this side of the
"Old Savannah Doctor. We gladly
welcome such re enforcement to our
position. Our people will see, We
hope, before it is too late, the unWis-
dom of surrendering to the dispen-
sary."
What could be added to the above
to strengthen it9 We commend it
to the thinking people who are will
ing to listen TO reason.
