Malice and Ignorance"

In q mltu criticism OF OellatoI
..Tillman for holding two offices,
as it appeared to us we seem
to iGaye provoked him to a de-
gree Of ire entirely incommensur-
ate with the extent of our Of
Tending.
10 his communication, published
elsewhere in this ISSUE. the Sem
ator charges US with malice and
ignorance and insinuates that We
did not even know upon what day
Congress convened.
To meet the charges as they
come, We first distinctly disclaim
any feeling Of malice towards
Senator Tillman. Many times
during his incumbency as United
States Senator, We have approved
4 of the measures he advocated and
without employing terms of full
some compliment or servlle adula-
ton commended the really good
work he accomplished. Moreover,
AZ q member Of a State conven-
ton it was our privilege to vote
afirmatIvely on a resolution endors-
-iug his course of action as a
anember of the Senate. These
facts, We believe, to any talr'
minded person would acquit US
of the first count in the indlct'
ment.
The second charge against US is
ignorance. Now, ignorance is en-
tlrely relative term and when
we recall that Sir Isaac Newton
COD pfessed himself as little child
gathering shells along the great
ssa-shore of knowledge, this stab
= of our distinguished adversary
loses much of it's poignant sting.
We confess that we are ignorant
painfully so, in fact-but in the
Senator's reply to our editorial
paragraph we tud very little IN
struction. First, be tells US tdat
Congress opened on the first Mon
day in December. That this in
formation is superhuous is evil
dent from the fact that the para
graph referred to was based up
on a news item in the same is-
sue of this newspaper to the eff.
feet that Congress had convened
oh Monday, and stating the rea'
son why Senator Tillman vas alb
sent from the opening roll-call.
Senator Tillmau next tells US
that he is trustee of Clemson
College under Mr. Clemson's will
and does not hold any commits.
sion from the State government.
Here, we suppose, is where our
ignorance is displayed. We con.
fess that, while We knew that
under Mr. Clemson's will certain
trustees were named BY him ia
majority of the board, as We re-
member lt), We did not recall at
the moment the paragraph was
written to which set of trustees
Senator Tiliman belonged - those
named in the will of Mr. Glenn
son, or the minority elected by
the Legislature. We accept with
thanks the explanation the Senator
vouchsafes and it certainly gives
rise to q doubt in our mind as to
whether he is in this instance

in the fact that It Is the Christ method.

Mind is recognized and employed as
the only power.
