Ti||man Started In Politics By S|ur.
Arstocrats Public Rebuke Led Him to Overthrow
Their Rule in South Carolina.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May L. Brought out by the an
nouncemen that Senator Tman of South Carolina too
IN TO return the senate at this session of congress- an
interesting story related at the capital in connection
with Senator lmans ideals of agricultural education. 1t
was through rebuke administered to him some years ago
when he tried to explain his ideals that he entered politics.
There was old agricultural college In the state IN
those days In connection with 1t a meeting was called
at Columbia S. c. Mr. Timan, who was then farmer
living on his lower plantation attended the meeting He
ed to address the meeting, but it is related that John e.
Haskell a sOn-inaw of Wade Hampton, rather ntmated
that Mr. Tlman knew little about the subject and he
was not afforded an opportunity to ar his views.
Mr. Tllman smarted under what he regarded as a re-
ke from one of the leading arstocats OF the state Re
turning to his plantation, he wrote an exposition OF his
views on agricultural education and sent to the Cotton
Planter then influential journal among Southern agrl-
cultural interests This article attracted attention every
ambitions was asked to address meeting at Bennettyile
He accepted His views made hit. he was asked TO
make another address, He accepted. Organization was
effected among the farmers and in less than year Mr.
Tillman was elected governor of South Carolina
Primaries came into vogue in South Carolina about that
time and the arsocracy of old families who had been IN
political control were unhorsed under the leadership OF
Tillman 1t was as governor that Mr.. Tlman brought
about the establishment of the Clemson and winthrop
Schools and it the rebuke from HaSKell that really
forced Tman in politics.
Senator lman is now his fine plantation near lren-
ton in the southern part of South Carolina within twen
vthree miles of the Georgia border line and the city OF
Augusta. 1t is sprlngtme there. The plantation
covers some 160 of well cultivated country and the
senators men are now harvesting nearly twenty OF
There are fine orchards and one of the finest colona
gardens in the South Avery broad piazza extends arounc
two sides of the house. which is also very large and the
senator will improve rapidly In week among tnt
flowers and sunshine of his South Carolina home than NJ
would during an entire month in Washington at this time

Cost of Building a Creamery.

During the past few years there have been built IN the
United States several thousand creamere many of which
have been successful from the start while Others have
failed after few months operation, and some were nev
er started.
An investigation of the creamery business in several
States by the United States Department of Agriculture
has shown that the of many failures due to a
lack of sufficient number of cows, which should not be
less than AGO. and that others failed because Of improper
organization in the of cooperative creamere and
excessive cost of building and equipment Many cream
cries have cost about twice their actual WORTH and were
of the type suited to the locality in which they were
built
The cost of building about % by As feet will vary from
$500 to 81 AGO. dependent upon the locality the consruc

necessary apparatus will cost approximately 81 200 Ma
chinery for whoe-mlk plant will cost about 81, $50.
This equipment will handle from 1000 to 1,200 pounds of
butter per day. If refrigerating machine is included the
cost will be from $500 to 81 900 more.
The total cost of creamery would therefore vary from
81 600 for simple hand-separator plant without ar

The Dead Mans Tax.

This country has only begun to appreciate the value Of
the inheritance tax Presluent Roosevelt has urged and
some of the states have laws that get small returns from
large fortunes but they are mere tnes compared with
what should be got says the Baltimore American
During the present year Mrs Rylands, widow OF the
great millionaire merchant of Manchester, died in Eng
and. She left fortune of 100000. The English
law exacts estate duties of 10 per cent the first mil
lion pounds and Is per cent all above that There are
also legacy duties So, in this instance we find the taxes
amounting to SO, 250 900 which goes into the public
treasury.
In the United States we facing deficit in the ma
tonal finances Great Britain has just ended It's imam
cal year with increased revenue OF $500 0OO inns
phenomenon we are told by the London Mail, 's mainly
accounted for by increase of no less than S4 in
the estate and death duties and by increase OF no less
than S. $685. 900 in the property and income tax That

upon real estate and business but from the nations wealth
from the great fortunes divided among heirs and from
the owners of fortunes who well able to pay and who
should be made to pay.
When Jay Gould died he left fortune of 900
and yet he had been paying taxes less than million
dollars The public did not benefit from his wealth Ev-

new, and the maiden's soft cheek
was reposing trustfully on his
manly bosom, the while he was
filled with emotions so joyous and
tender that he scarcely knew
whether his head was on straight
or not, when suddenly a deep,
solemn groan of misery gushed
in at the open window of the
dimly lighted sittingroom of the
Merk villa wherein the young
couple sat.
