Anderson Daily Mail: The re-
cent congress made an appropria-
ton for stimulating animal industry
in the different states. Five thou
sand dollars was given to the agricul-
tural experiment stations in each state
for the purpose of breeding the best
breeds Of horses, cows, sheep and hogs.
AS the animals are bred and developed
they will be given to the people of
the states for breeding purposes.
The idea Is to develop the animals,
best suited for the different sections
of country. Mr.. ]. M. Harper, di-
rector of the experiment station at
Clemson college, will leave next
week for Kentucky and Tennessee to
purchase animals for experimental
purposes at the college farm. He
has asked Hon. M. L. Donaldson, a
member of the board Of trustees Of
the college, and Mr.. ]. c. Striblihg
the trip and help select the animals,
and they have agreed to do so.
- Columbia special to the Char
lotte Observer: Now 1t is admitted
on all sides in Columbia that in the
for Manning of Sumter. and Senator
Tillman, though he has done it
guardedly, has been throwing the
weight Of his influence that way, In
his speeches and otherwise, it Is un-
derstood. This Is but natural in
Senator Tillman, If he consents with
himself to take any hand In the fight,
Mr.. Manning being one Of the au-
thors of the ManningR Raysor-Till-
man dispensary publication bill,
which the senate passed and which
the house killed. But recently the
tide seems to be turning with steadily
increasing volume toward M. F. An
sci of Greenville, on account of his
county dispensary platform. In his
speeches recently Senator Tillman
has been charging that there is con-
spiracy to that end, and that the "en-
emies" Of the system are lining up
for a so-called local option between
county dispensary, county prohibition
and county license, and among the
Tillman opposition in Columbia 1t Is
admitted Cor contended) that the
popular drift is toward Ansel on ac-
count of his county dispensary plat
form. With the exception of his
opening lecture" at Sandy Flat. In
Greenville county, where about 1000
Senator Tillman has been drawing
scanty crowds in his speech-making
tour over the state In behalf of the
state dispensary. There is a painful
contrast between the yelling, hurrah-
ing, excited crowds of thousands of
the "one-gallused" he used to draw
and electrify and the apathetic, unre-
sponsive handfuls that now gather to
hear him. There is no more whoop-
ing up the boys as of yore. The boys
won't whoop a little bit Senator Till
man is as forceful as he ever was and
he is a much more attractive orator
than he used to be- his Washington
experience improving him wonderful
ly, but while he seems to be giving
his subject the best he has in stock
there is no popular demand for
his sermons" he is not meeting
a popular demand. His manner on
the stump indicates that he feels
that he Is pulling against the cur
rent. On several occasions last
week he said publicly and i'm private
conversation that he hoped the liquor
question would be settled permanent
ly by the time he came around again
He is tired of it. The "invitations"
from the various communities upon
which his itinerary through the state
has been based, are not the result Of
any popular desire to get his advice
and counsel. These invitations come
from the politicians who want the
advice given. Senator Tillman's po-
sition has been made plain through
the weekly as we'll as the daily press.
