CAPT. w. l.. WOOD,
BY W.. D. S.
OVERWHELMINGLY

~ n ~ Vr ~ u
Capt. w. L. Wood was a self-made
man. He started out in this world
with nothing but good health and pluck,
with a determination to make some
thing of himself-and he succeeded adj
mirably. When he died he was one of
the largest landowners in Sullivan
township and ranked as one of our best
farmers, which he learned in the school
of experience.
He was overseer in Laurens, New
berry and Greenville counties and
learned much of the ways of our col
ored brother; so, when he settled down
on his own farm, he knew exactly how
to manage the negro. He could get
more work out of him, and with greater
ease, than could most of the old slave
owners.
He was very fond Of military life, and
raised a company in the 14th South
Carolina regiment for Confederate SER
vice. When the regiment went to Vir-
GINA he was too old to stand active
service in that cold climate, and had to
come hoe. His wife took charge of
the plantation during his absence, and
she raised fine crops. She also col
lected his debts and placed the money
in cotton. When Captain Billy re-
turned from the wal she had over one
hundred bales of cotton stored up for
him. The sales of this cotton was put
in lands, which sold very cheap at that
time, which was the basis of a fine for
tune for his family. What a blessing
a good woman is to a man! And often
she is not duly appreciated.
He was as tough as w~hitleather. One
day he came over to the store and DR..
Barney Smith said to him:
Captain, let me cut that wen off
your forehead"
"All right. SIR" replied Capt. Wood.
They went around to DR.. Smiths of
flee and were gone so long that went
to see what they were doing. ! found
Smith with a knife cutting out the wen,
and he had the captain as bloody as a
stuck hog. No n being present to as
sist, | had no idea that he would let the
doctor perform the operation. After
the job was over and his head bound
up he mounted his horse and rode
home.
On another occasion he went up to
Fork Shoals factory and had the In
dian Doctor cut a tumor off the back
of his neck. That evening he rode back
home. He would hoe corn in his bot
toms until he got wet with perspira-
ton, then go into Beaver Dam creek
with his clothes on and roll over and
over until he got cooled off, then pick
up his hoe and GO to work again.
Very few men have the endurance OF

TILLMAN TALKS TO
STATE LAW
Addressed the General Assembly on the
Subject 'lmmigration and Its ReIa.
tion to the Race Question"

Hon I'D tHe Race question"
Columbia, January Ex-senator Till
man addressed the General Assembly
tonight on Immigration and It's Rela-
ton to the Race Question"
His speech was listened to with
marked attention by the large audience
present, and was highly commended by
the large majority.
The members of the Senate and
House were very nearly all present,
and in addition the Hobbies and CALLER
les were well filled, many ladies being
present. Lieutenant-G Governor Mcleod
presided and introduced the speaker.
Senator Tillman reviewed the events
of reconstruction, and told how the
yoke had been thrown off by the white
people. He declared that the present
franchise laws are merely temporary in
view of the fact that the negroes are
becoming educated and able to comply
with the suffrage qualifications. At
the same time they are increasing i n
numbers more rapidly than the whites.
There were two remedies he suggested.
First, we must have an increase in
white population. He pointed out how
the State had been populated by foreign
peoples at different stages of it's his
tory, and declared hat we must seek
through wise means more white set
tiers, people of kindred ideas, who will
become owners and renters of land,
not laborers. He said that we need not
expect to compete with other more ia
vored sections on equal terms.
In order to make this State more at
t~ractivc ne advocated the ainage of
coast lands by the national v
ment, on the same plan the irrigation
work is being carried on in the West.
His second remedy is the repeal of
the Fifteenth amendment. He told how
his speeches or this question had been
received in the North and West, and
declared that he believed the people of
those sections will listen to the demand
of the South hat the amendment be
repealed.
His argument on this line was we'll
reasoned and logical, and nowhere in
his address was there any bitterness or
vituperation. At times the senator
rose to heights of eloquence, and es-
pecially when he declared his love for
South Carolina, the State which had
showered honors upon him.
The fact that there is now being
started a determined fight to stop the
work done the last few years to induce
immigration to South Carolina by abol-
ishing the immigration bureau lends
particular appropriateness to the sena-
tors address. He did not refer to this
matter at all, and may not have been
informed on the situation, but there is
certainly no reason to doubt where he
stands on the immigration issue.
