CASE OF jim TILLMAN.-We notice
that Jim Tillman thinks that he might
have been elected, If The State and
other newspapers had not attacked
him.
In this opinion we think Mr.. Tillman
Is mistaken.
It Is certain that Mr.. Tillman has
friends among the soldiers who went to
war with him.
It is equally certain that senator's and
members of the house Of representatives
did not approve of his conduct as pre-
siding officer Of the senate. ..--.
1t is centain that Mr.. Tillman, when
lieutenant governor offended the moral
sense of large part Of his constituency
by his presence and conduct at various
times.
These circumstances would prove that
Mr.. Tillman never had the ghost Of a
chance to be elected.
The opinion has been expressed, with,
as far as have heard, single excep-
ton, that the newspapers by their at
tacks on him secured many votes for
Jim Tillman. The Press and Banner
believes that Tillman was helped, and
not hurt, by the newspaper attacks
which were too bitter and which as
summed too near the act Of dictation.
The vote for Dr. Zimmerman, as good
a man as anybody, and against whom
not one word had been said, did not re-
ceive as many votes as did Jim Till
man, against whom nearly all that
could be said was said.
If Tillman had been let alone. does
anybody believe that he would have
run ahead Of DR.. Timmerman.-Abbe-
willie Press and Banner.

our mills make money only because
they employ child labor and that when
child labor is done away with such in
vestment will not. be profitable, CAPT.
tai, knowing that such laws will in
evitably be passed, will be slow to in
vest in southern cotton mills. But on
the other hand, If it can be proved, as
I am confident it can, that these SOUTH
ern mills can pay better dividends than
English or New England mills without
child labor at all, then capital, with
absolute confidence, will invest largely
in them.
Every man in the south, therefore,
who desires tc see cotton mills multiply
and extend wherever cotton is grown
should demand that abuses Of child la
Dor in southern factories cease and
cease immediately."-N and Cour-

AS TO PENSIONS.

General Assembly Should Regulate
tiona.
A number Of papers in the state have
taken up the pension question and are
making a demand that the next leg
islature shall take up the question and
devise some plan whereby the unworthy
men on the rolls shall be taken off.
That very many such names are on the
list Is beyond question. Instances are
no doubt observable in every county
where men who are financially able to
provide for themselves are grabbing at
the pension fund intended for indignent
Confederate soldiers. The law has been
carefully drawn and there are safe
guards thrown around 1t which would
prevent such a state Of affairs occur
ring were it's provisions properly car
ried out. The trouble seems to be chief
ly with the administration Of the law.
THE YoRKv1LLE ENQUIRER, which has
taken up the subject, points out very
correctly that there seems to be In the
minds of the various pension boards a
feeling that the pension sum was voted
by the Legislature as reward for SER
vices. This Is not the case, as every
body knows, for the money was intend
ed to aid those who by reason of disa-
bility occasioned from service in the
army are unable in their old age or In
their infirmity from making living.
Because of the reward Of services view
of the matter there are no doubt great
many men receiving pensions who
ought not to, and the more of them on
the list the less the really deserving
will get. Though the pension fund has
been put at 100000 those who are en-
titled to it's benefits are not drawing
any more now than they did before. and
it will continue thus, no matter how
much may be appropriated so long as
the present practice remains. There
ought to be a radical change in this
business, and it is one OF the most SER
ious questions to come before the legis-
Record.

BRAVE WORDS AND TRUE.-The coun-
try pastor, with the revival Of the edu-
cational spirit that is spreading now
to all parts Of the south, has peculiar
opportunity for greatly enlarging his
sphere Of usefulness by throwing the
weight Of his influence into this educs-
tional movement, says the Presbyterian
Standard. He is generally, and he
ought to be, the best educated man in
the community. Religion has often be-
gun its beneficent course with the ig-
norant. But education, by its very ma
ture, must spread from above to the
planes below. Only he who knows
something Of what education Is desires
it's blessings for his children, and the
most discouraging thing about the pro-
gress Of education Is the indifference
toward it by those who need 1t most.
The minister, with his gifts Of public
speaking, with his known attitude to-
wards the things that are good and
helpful and with his personal influence
over the people Of his community, can
certainly accomplish more than any
other man in the educational campaign,
and it may as well be recognized that
without his aid the battle Is lost for
our generation.
Then, because the minister knows
what an education is and how the
schools should be equipped and what
kind Of teaching the children ought to
have, he can go farther than simply
stirring up the people to the need Of
better educational facilities and to the
advantage Of an education in the alb
stract. He can see to it that educa-
tional officers, from the county super
intendent to the teacher in the smallest
backwoods school in the county, are the
best that can be gotten for the places
to be filled. This Is not an agreeable
task; but right here the best plans are
sometimes brought to naught, and 1t is
better to hurt a few private feelings
sometimes than to let public interests.
especially those that affect every home,
suffer for want Of some man with the
courage and sense to speak.

APPEALING TO TILLMAN.-Since the
primary last week frantic appeals have
been made to Senator Tillman by pam
icky candidates. They wish to be saved
from defeat if it can possibly be done.
They are now willing to make any
pledges Of loyalty and support to Till
man. But the senator Is just a little
too astute. He has been in politics too
long to risk his popularity by attempt
ing at the last moment to overcome a
tremendous lead. Then, 1t is doubtful
IL the senator really cares to go to the
rescue. He may fear that his friends,
made TOO powerful. will attempt to un-
dermine his castle.
Then, again. so far as the gubernato-
rial contest is concerned, it Is credita-
bly, reported that the senator, weeks
ago, said how the wind was blowing
and picked Hayward as the winner.
The betting men are offering big odds
on the leader in this race. A lead or
$4,000 votes has never been overcome In
the history Of South Carolina primaries
and it probably never will.-Spartan-
burg Journal.
