THAT CEHICCO FAN.
Columbia State

THE other day somebody sent Tillman
fan bearing the likeness of himself
and Chicco, the far-famed Charleston
blind tiger. The pictures are labeled
''The Two Determined and have
been familiar for years on the boxes of
brand of cigars sold by Checco. The
Senator displayed much heat when ex-
hibiting the fan. He got red in the
face and told his audience he had been
insulted. He declared he was going to
send the fan to Governor Hayward,
who was responsible, he said, for the
existence of Blind Tiger Chicco. And
now comes The News and Courier with
this letter from Charleston police
man: :,
'To the Editor of The News and
Courier. AneHt this "fan affair" do
you recall that this same Senator Till
man, when governor of South Carolina,
at one time visited Charleston. He
was the guest of Capt. Martin. One
day., while walking through. the Market
with Capt. Msrtin,' Vincent Chicco ran
out from his place of business with q
box of cigars marked ''The Two Deter
mined" and offered a cigar to Cover
nor Tillman. Governor Tillman took
one, and so did Capt. Martin: Cover
nor Tillman shook hands with Chicco.
I know, for Was the policeman, stand
ing beside them. Why all this fuss
about something Tillman knew when
he was Governor? Every, year since
he has been. senator, Chicco sends him
box of '"The Two Determined ci-

HEARD of an apt comparison the
other day. A man declared the State
dispensary was likened unto an over
ripe and understandable egg. 1t does
not improve with age, its sweet incense
is not welcomed by delicate and dis
eliminating olfactories, it is not pru-
dent TO use too great violence in shak-
ing it up, its physical turpitude is ab-
solutely incurable and the man who gets
mixed up with it is usually Stunned by
his better neighbors.

President Not Enthusias-
tic Over CoaI-OiI
Investigation,
BUT HAS APPROVED
Sends Message to Congress in
Which He Almost Pre-
diets Failure.

Washington, March president
Roosevelt today sent a message to con-
gress announcing his signature to the
joint resolution recently passed in
structing the interstate commerce COM
mission to make an examination into
the subject of railroad determinations
and monopolies in coal and oil.
With Hesitation.
He says frankly he signed it with
hesitation because it may achieve lit
tie or nothing. He indicates, too, that
if the investigation proposed by the
resolution is conducted thoroughly. it
will result in giving immunity from
criminal prosecution to all persons
who are called and sworn as witnesses.
Money Needed.
In the opinion of the president the
directions contained in the resolution
will remain practically imperative un-
less money is provided to carry on
the investigation and the commission
to take testimony under its
provisions.
BE More Specific.
He suggests, therefore. congress
give serious consideration to just what
it desires the interstate commerce
commission to do and that the sum of
$50, 600 be placed at the disposal of the
commission to defray expenses of the
investigation.
