there was reason to suspect that
somebody had gotten access to the
books Of the whisky trust, and was
in position to publish undisputable
facts Senator Tillman kept quiet for
years. There was time for him to as
sure himself that no evidence could
be presented. Then, when, the mat
ter came up again, he claimed that
he had given the rebates back. to the
whiskey people in return for the
credit they had extended to the State.
1t is quite possible that there are
some good people who believe this,
and there are others who think other
wise. The state passed a laHemaking
it unlawful for public officars to ac-
cept free passes. Last yeasit devel-
oped that in defiance of this law Sen
ator Tillman had a whole bunch Of

therefore was speaking from facts
rather than prejudice or politics when
he laid responsibility at the door Of

pie of South Carolina continue to
recognize this man as a representa-
tive exponent of their ideals they can
hope for but little improvement in
existing conditions, temporal or spir-

1.-THE PENNY LINER"

We cheerfully give space in this is-
sue Of THE TIMES (regrettipg that we
could not do so last week) to an ar
ticle signed 1.-The Penny Liner, d"
which is intended by the writer to be
a reply to an edit orial which appear
ed in The TIMES, August 26, under
this head, "Postoffice Location Mis-
represented"
In the first paragraph Of the Penny
Liners article the assertion that The
TIMES is an organ Of the postmaster
il as false as it is unjust. The Pen
ny Liner further says: "1f l. remem-
bsr correctly, 1--WE are satisfied he had
THE TIMES on his desk when he
wrote this) not one word Of denial
was made; but most Of it was taken
up with the abuse Of the writer of
said article" or course THE lines
did not deny the spot Of ground upon
which the postofflce building is to be
erected, but the incorrect description
by The States corresponding of the
surroundings which rendered the To-
cation so Objectionable to some"
This being the case, the young hope
full Penny Liner consoles himself with
the assertion that as no denial was
made tits useless in this effusion to
allude to it further, but relieves his
pent up feelings in giving utterance
to the assertion that THE TINES in
dulged in abuse of the writer. THE
TIMES disclaims any intention 70
abuse, as beiCg beneath the dignity OF
this journal to indulge in the abuse
of any individual, be he ever so hum
BILE, do not, will not deny them every
right to which they are entitled, re-
serving the right to correct mistakes
as 1t sees them, without abusing it's
right to do so.
The Penny Liner so far forgets him
self by displaying a petty spiteful
spirit as to attempt to indulge in
what he accuses THE TINES Of doing,
abusing the writer of the offending
editorial. AS to the Penny Liners
wish to consign THE UNION TIMES to
oblivion, he, in this, no doubt, ex-
presses the wishes of some Others as
he more frequently gives expression
to the opinions and desires Of others,
than his own, Gf he has any). THE
UNION TINES has stood the test for
fifty years, and still stands an honor
ed landmark, a monument to the peo-
ple's patronage as herald of princi-
pie, truth and honesty.
Now, as to the remaining slings,

veil of charity over this brilliant ef-
fort Of The Penny Liner and in the
words Of Union wag, when We
hear nothing, we say nothing"

NO POLITICAL LEADER.

Twenty five years ago, and down to
less than ten years ago, South Caro-
lima had her political leader. In
those days the people, the masses,
like sheep followed their leader.
Whenever and wherever the leader
jumped the unreasoning masses
jumped, regardless Of consequences.
No matter what their leader said or
did, they were ready and willing to
do also, blindly and without ques-
tion. Today the would be leader ex-
poets the people who have before
been like sheep, to follow as before !;
but he is disappointed, since the
people have become more indepen-
dent. Men think for themselves and
80 do newspapers. The indepen-
dent man Is taking sometime the
place Of the partisan man and the
Independent paper is taking the
place Of the partisan paper. The in
dependent paper jumps as it pleases,
but 1t never takes fence unless it
thinks 1t is in the right. The day
has come when even the fathers vote
does not influence the sons vote in
every instance. Today the people
will not jump the political fence Just
because some others do. We take it
