DON'T PER7ERT THE RECORD.

The Sumter Freeman Of last
of last week refers to the editor
of The TINES as having been
carried into office by swinging
to the coat-tail Of Ben Tillman.
The Freeman is entirely mistak-
- The<editor of this paper
Was in Office before Ben Tillman
made his debut in politics, and
continued in Office until two years
ago. He was a factorin bringing
about condition Of harmony
which resulted in a very large
measure ip destroying factional
lines. When Tillman began his
political career we favored the
principals advocated in the Far
mers Platform, and as Tillman.
was the chosen leader, we gave
him our support. Those princi-
pies we still advocate, because
they are right, but we contend
that men whose political fortunes
were made by the advocacy of
those principles have long ago
departed therefrom, and have
perverted them into more op-
pressive political machine than
the one swept from existence IN
1890. We are not made up of
the sort Of material that nothing
good can come from tie side we
oppose, or the side we favor is
without fault, and we think the
record will show that whenever
we differed from the views Of
Mr.. Tillman, either before, or
since he was made senator, we
have not hesiJated to give ex-
preston thereto, either in these
columns or in committee, or con-
vention.< That we have support
ed Tillman is true, and we still
support him in any measure
which meets with our approval,
but we never have, and we hope
We never will permit ourselves
to accept his or any other mans
dictum without scrutiny; in 9th
er words, we do not propose to
follow blindly. Werecognize Till
mans ability, and that he has
rendered the State some good
service, at the same time, we al
so realize he has made some
great blunders which resulted in
harm to the State. Let that be
as it may, Ben Tillman is not
perfect, no man is, and when
we criticise any of his acts, it is
an opinion we have formed with
out considering results.
The independence Of our views
and position, meets with the en-
dorsement OF our consistency, as
is shown by the vote wereceived
when a candidate in the last pri
mary. The normal vote of Clar-
endon is about 1850, and after
Tillman came to Clarendon and
made a personal plea that we
should not be reelected, as the
effect of our election would des-
troy his influence in Washington
we received 500 votes and by
actual count 25O remained
away from tn e primary.
We mention his to show
our independent course is ap-
proved by a majority Of Claren
don's voters, Notwithstanding the
fact we were not returned. It
might be argued that the 500
votes we received came from the
conservative side but such is not
the case. The conservative vote
in Clarendon was not over 800
when the lines were tightly
drawn, and we know that our
adversary polled quite a number,
having personal friends among
them, and business relations
with others; therefore, it will be
seen that Tillman cannot handle
the Clarendon vote at his pleas
ure, and knowing this, we can
afford to be independent whether
from policy or principle. We
never was a coat-tail swinger.

CURIOUS THINGS FROM CHINA.
The Most Magnificent Beds Ever Seen
Are Part of The Celestial Empires
Worlds Fair Exhibit.

The Chinese exhibit at the Worlds
Fair is filled with pleasing surprises.
Some of the most magnificent articles
of furniture are part of this wonder

marvellous skill of the Chinese.
Models included in this interesting
exhibit show the homes and home life
of the Chinese. their, weddings and
funerals. Chinese tea house. restau-
rant and shop. Chinese weaving and
some Of the beautiful silks and wear
ing apparel Of the Chinese and their
methods Of manufacturing them.
One feature of the exhibit is two
magnificent Chinese beds, each OF
which has the appearance of being a
small house Of great beauty. One is
summer bed, the other for winter. The
summer bed is hand carved and inlaid
with ivory and bone figures and land
scapes exQuisitely carved md so
skillfully joined as to appear a part OF
the wood. The bed and furniture are
of carved bamboo. The bed consists OF
an anteroom, with tables, chairs and
tea stands, and in an inner room, which
Is the sleeping apartment, there is
couch with coverings of gauzy silks.
The winter bed is still more elabo,
rate. 1t consists of three compartments
The first contains four chairs, a tea poy
and chest Of drawers. This is the sit
ting apartment. The second is the dress
ing room, and the third is the sleep
ing apartment. or the couch itself. The
furniture Is Of rosewood inlaid with
ivory carving Of birds, flowers and
trees. The couch is covered with silks
of the finest texture and in gaudy col
ors. The sleeping compartments are
lighted with Chinese lanterns Of silk
hung at the outer entrance. while tie
light enters through gauze panels, hand
painted and in forms Of rosewood in
laid with ivory figures.
A table and dish made Of highly pol.
ished ash, with exquisitely carved
bamboo figures inlaid, are shown. The
work is so artistically done that each
article seems to have been made Of
one piece of wood.
There is also a large display Of Chi
nese lanterns made Of silk. gauze and
other light material and some made Of
beads artistically arranged with glass
centers. The silk and gauze are beau
tifully hand painted.
There are models Of some Of the
great Chinese temples, theaters and
arches. showing elaborate carving in
wood and ivory and two large elephant
tusks exquisitely carved.

the number Of males in the United
States possessing high school and
higher education is but a small
minority portion of the total num-
Der. Comparing now these classes
with the same number of males
classified as to vocations and pro-
fessions, it is shown that the num-
Der successful in all departments
of usefulness and reputable en-
deavor" is in almost exact pro-
portion to the quality OF educa-
ton.
Lest this conclusion may be err
roneous the report next deals
with individual cases. Statements
obtained from 10:704 men who
have made notable successes show
that they include: Without educa-
ton, none; self-taught, "a; home
taught, 278; with common school
education or training, LOGS;
with high school training, 1927;
with college training, 7,7O7, OF
whom 6,129 were graduates.
If there ever was any doubt in
the mind of any one as to the
value of education, these exhibits
from the Commissioners report
ought to set such doubt forever
at rest.
