AS TILLMAN SEES 1T.
Says the Legislature Will Have To
Amend the Law.

"The Spartanburg investigation will
have the effect Of making the legisla-
ture do something in regard to the
status of the liquor question In this
state"
This Is what Senator Benjamin Ryan
Tillman, father Of the South Carolina
dispensary and its chief advocate, said
To ]. r. McGhee, of the Greenwood In
dcx, last Thursday.
II don't believe the people Of the
state are going to rid themselves OF
the method because set Of rascals
are running 1t. And, as have said be-
fore, and have advocated before, the
dispensary Is the proper solution OF the
question in this state"
Senator Tillman was on his way from
the State Farmers Institute, where he
had been Ito teach them how to raise
hogs" as he expressed 1t. The senator
looks we'll and hearty and the old time
Tillman, with all his vigor and the
matter Of -factness was In evidence as
he talked to the editor of the Index.
His characteristic phraseology, togeth-
er with his forcefulness and earnest
ness, was most noticeable, and when
he spoke OF his pet, the dispensary, a
fatherly light was in his eye.
Speaking of the startling revelations
AS some would call them-belng
made in the inner and outer workings
of the system in Spartanburg, the
senator said that most Of the witnesses
so far seemed to be disappointed office
seekers and as for the testimony Of
Supervisor Miles. he said that there
were possibly a hundred men in the
state today who could say the same
thing, that they suspected there was
dishonesty"
But" he said, "he wanted the limit
and IL there was wrong doing, disclose
It,"
Senator Tillman declared his faith In
the people Of the state as to their re-
tanning the dispensary. He said that
county control would not do; that the
large towns like Columbia, Charleston,
and Greenville would vir-
tually have been bar-rooms.
THE greatest, most intrinsic, valu-
able thing about the dispensary sys-
TEN Is the fact that 1t destroys the OPP
portunity for personal greed"
When asked directly by his inter-
viewer as to the personal greed"
now causing all the trouble In the dis
pensary, as evidenced by the testimony
at Spartanburg and elsewhere, the
countenance lit up with

WILL SUE For DAMAoEs.-Mrs. Cora
Lee Bradshaw, widow Of Mr.. ]. ].
bradshaw, who was electrocuted while
leaning against a street electric light
pole several days ago, has instructed
her attorney, Mr.. F. r. McNinch, to
institute proceedings against the Ca
tawba Power company for damages on
account of the death Of her husband.
Mrs. Bradshaw, whose home Is near
Mooresyille qualified as Administrative
of the estate Of her husband Thursday
and yesterday morning retained Mr..
McNinch to bring the suit, which will
be for not less than $4,000. The attor-
ney will issue the paper within a few
days and the case will be made return
able at the next civil term Of the su-
perior court.
The circumstances Of the death Of
Mr.. Bradshaw will be remembered. He
was standing beside the electric light
pole at the corner Of East Fifth street
and the railroad and caught hold Of the
wire apparatus by which the lamp Is
manipulated. In some way the wire
cable connecting the lamp with the
pulley had become crossed with a live
wire and the man fell dead the instant
after he touched the pulley and COM
pleted the electric circuit.-Charlotte

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Japan's Conditions Too Hard For Rus
sian Acceptance.

What Is to be the outcome OF the
peace conference between Japan and
Russia remains to be seen;, but II
seems quite certain that both sides are
determined to discuss the situation
squarely.
There was O common belief on the
part of the general public that Japans
purpose was to say what she would do
and require Russia to do it. or nothing
but il has not turned out that way.
Russia Is understood to be insisting
that she will neither pay the expenses
OF the war or give up the island OF
Sakhalin. When these two PROPOSE
tions were reached Russia indicated
point blank refusal; but that did not
break up the conference. 1t was agreed
that the conferees proceed with the
other conditions and after going over
them in detail, see how near they could
come to an agreement as whole
The twelve conditions proposed by the
Japanese are comprehended In the fol-
lowing:
Recognition of Japan's preponder-
ance of influence In Korea.
Cession of the Russian Chinese Rail-
way from Port Arthur to Harbin.
Transfer Of authority over Port Ar
thur and the Liaotung Peninsula.
Cession of Sakhalin Island.
Grant of fishing privileges at the
mouth Of the Amur.
Recognition Of the independence OF
China.
The evacuation OF Manchuria.
The granting Of commercial priv
ileges at Vladivostok.
Transfer Of the interned ships.
Limitation of Russia's naval strength
In the Far East.
Remuneration for the cost Of the
war;
Return to China Of Russian mining
privileges in Manchuria.
The island Of Sakhalin originally
belonged to Japan; but was gobbleo
up by the Russians some forty or fifty
years ago. The Japanese are now de-
termined to have 1t back.
1t Is suggested that each one OF the
twelve conditions proposed by Japan
will call for at least two days discus
sion.

A LEGISLATIVE coNsPIRAcYf
Rumor Of Attempt to Defeat Biennial
Sessions Measure.


The Columbia correspondent OF the
News and Courier writes that paper
as follows:
"The special commission appointed
to consider that biennial sessions
matter has not met yet. but session
Is expected shortly. 1t will be re-
membered that at the last session or
the legislature the constitutional
amendments voted on favorably py
the people at the last election, came
up. The judiciary committee OF the
house, to whom the matter was re-
terred, reported back a number OF op-
jections as to a bill passing at that
session, and finally II was decided to
refer the whole question to a special
committee to sit during the recess
and report at the next session.
This committee Is supposed 70
solve the various problems connected
with the change and to clear away all
objections They are to prepare q Dill
to be passed by the house and senate
that will embody all Of these changes,
such as reports by state officers, the
appropriations, the meeting Of speciai
commissions and other matters or TINS
kind.
"The bill, however, Will come up at
a bad time Of the session. The next
year is political year, and there WIN
be many who will do all they can TO
prevent the bill from passing either
the house or senate, thus defeating
the expressed will Of the people: the
amendment Of the constitution Is
supposed to 60 into effect In 1907,
and the provisions must be made for
this change at the next session, or
it cannot be made at all.
Just what means could be used 10
prevent the passage Of the measure
is not known and cannot be even
guessed at but It Is certain that there
are a number Of members who DO not
want biennial sessions and do not want
the constitutional amendment ratineo
by the legislature, and for this reason
the report and meetings Of the speciai
committee win be awaited with inter-
aaf

THE letter Of Mr. George B. Cromer
to Senator Tillman is the ablest thing
we have seen on the dispensary ques-
ton. We commend 1t to the careful
consideration of all thoughtful people
both on account Of the temperate mod
Grafton Of the language and on account
of the sound wisdom Of the views ex-
pressed.

gentlemen and by wading short dis
tance, the ladies were rescued, and
through the kindly offices OF pass

WE beg leave to remark that the
conduct of the dispensary is as good
as 1t will ever be. Corruption is a
growing proposition. 1t seldom gets
less. Up to this time those benefit
ting from dispensary corruption have
tried to keep the facts concealed to a
greater or less extent. They have kept
these facts concealed to the best of
their ability. Now that enough facts
have come out to convince any reason
able man of wholesale corruption, for
mer concealment is impossible. II the
people endorse such proceedings by
their votes. the grafters will have the
right to take that endorsement as IL
cense for still more extensive stealing.
It Is certainly time to annihilate this
whole miserable business. There has
never been a worse system, and 1t Is
doubtful If there could be.

THE dispensary question which Is
now being raised throughout York
county Is probably the most important
that has confronted the people Of this
section for years. and more than that
IL is OF serious concern to every man.
woman and child in the county. On Its
face, the issue is whether or not the
dispensary shall be removed from
Yorkville but as matters now stand,
the outcome of this proposed election
involves a great deal more than that.
We are face to face with the question
as to whether or not the sale OF whisky
shall be extended to other towns In
York county. Suppose for instance the
voters of Rock Hill should give ma
jority in favor Of the retention OF the
dispensary, does anybody think that
such an act would have special and
particular reference to the town of
Yorkville? We do not think anything
Of the kind. If Rock Hill should vote
to retain the dispensary, we venture
that the people so voting, will at once
begin to feel their strength and secure
the establishment of an official whisky
shop in their town without delay. And
it will be the same as to Fort Mill and
Clover both of which towns are large
enough to support dispensaries. In
view of the situation as 1t is now un-
derstood by all thinking men, we sim
cerely hope that the people Of York
county will declare overwhelmingly
against the state liquor business.

office on either side of question like
this. However, we would not be un-

VOTERS living outside of Yorkville are
not responsible for the dispensary that
Is doing business in the town. They
had no say-so in the question Of Its
establishment. But under the law as
1t now stands they are responsible If
this dispensary is allowed to remain
here or if others are permitted in the
county.

THERE is absolutely no need for any
politics in this proposed Brice law cleo

business should be outlawed in this
county or continued in the high state

by reason Of state sponsorship.

JUDGING from the dispatches that are
being published on the subject, we are
inclined to the opinion that the pros
poets of peace between Russia and ia
pan are not especially good. Notwith-
standing the general turmoil and dis
satisfaction that exists throughout
Russia, the Russian people are not
inclined to give up everything, and
advices from St. Petersburg seem to
indicate that the terms proposed by
the Japanese are calculated to spur
Russia to renewed efforts. The car
who, a few weeks ago, was leaning
strongly toward peace, is now growing
more warlike, and NJ. Witte is quoted
as having said at Portsmouth last
Saturday that if the war breaks out
again, other nations will be involved
Just what this means is not certain;
but II is suggested that Russia and
Germany have arrived at some kind OF
an understanding and possibly Ger
many is considering the idea of TAX
ing a hand. But II must confessed
| that the outside world is generally In
the dark, as to what may be going on
Russia's position may after all, be only
big bluff and then again 1t may be
serious: but within a very few days or
at most. weeks, all this will be more
clear.

THE Columbia State deplores the
suggestion Of Messrs. Lyon and Chris
tensen as candidates for governor and
lieutenant governor respectively, and
we agree with it. Messrs. Lyon and
Christensen are no doubt good men and
are fearlessly trying TO do their duty.
For that they deserve credit, which
they will no doubt receive; but we do
not approve of the idea of trying to
make a candidate of every man who
seeks tc do his duty. Duty should be
done for duty's sake, and without hope
of a reward Then again, we do not
approve of trying to make further pol
itics of this miserable dispensary bus
mess anyway The dispensary has
been a terrible mistake for which the
whole state Is more or less responsible.
and ii Is just as we'll for all citizens
to get together to rectify that mistake
without any accusations against any
body. We think 1t wrong for any state
to legalize the sale of liquor. 1t is just
as well to try TO legaliZe any other
crime At the same time, however,
we have but little patience with the
