Now you have the three personages
who used to come to the Chronicle Of
fee at least once week and relieve
the long vigil Of the boys at night by
talking politics; gossiping about per-
sons and things-discussing "the
grandeur that was Greece and the
glory that was Rome Ben Tlllman
was remarkably we'll read; John Gary
Evans was classic and delicate and
McSweeney was very quiet man who
talked but little, but was looked upon
as a GOOD friend and a deserving fel-

ever met at that time. They may have
and they may not have done so. II
they did I don't remember that they
impressed each other Their lives
moved in entirely different spheres.
Their ages and professions sent them
far apart. Well, time changes and in
the great crucible Of politics these
men after a while Got together. Ben
Tillman continued to write his artl-
cles. His faction became a, majority
party. I we'll remember the night he
was elected governor. He came over
to the Chronicle office as usual and
sat by the desk Of the news editor.
The Chronicle received specials from
all paris Of the State and Ben Till
man read, hot from the telegraph
ticker, the news Of his triumph. Pret-
ty soon the office was filled with Edge
fed people and Carolinians generally,
congratulating "Captain Tillman,' y
or "Governor Tillman, " which should
it be?

This accounts for all three Of the
Chronicle visitors. McSweeney died
the other day-the quiet newsboy and
careful printer. John Gary Evans is
living in Spartanburg, rich and sue
cessful in his law practice, and Ben
Tillman is senator and lecturer. max

But truth is stranger than fiction.
In some way McSweeney-quiet. plod-
ding. popular-had broken into the
legislature. He, too, was a Tlllman
man. Finally he went 10 the senate,
and then became lieutenant governor.
During his term Of Office, as second
in command. Governor Ellerbe died
and McSweeney actually became gov
ernor of South Carolina.

drank it. and that as for 4 raw oyster.
he wouldn t touch one.
Well. john Gary Evans ploddel
along in Aiken. The Garys all joined
the Tillman movement. and first thing
we knew little John Gary had been
elected to the Senate-the same pale
faced, delicate little chap who used
to sing tenor and make his remark
able speeches in the justice court.
Then. after Ben Tillman, he was NOM
mated and elected governor, by the
farmers. The rest is known. He be-
came president Of the constitutional
convention which put dispensary, ne
gro disfranchisement and non-divorce
in the organic law of South Carolina.
His career was meteoric. No one in
Augusta dreamed of it. But Ben Till
man went to the United States SEN
ate and John Gary went to the exec
mive office in Columbia.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-10-12

Who was Ben Tillman? Well, he
was captain Of the cavalry company
or the red shirt fellows over in Edge
field. When Governor John B. Cor
don, with General Wade Hampton,
was invited to Augusta to open the
fair, Ben Tillman brought his compa-
nv over from Edgefeld to turn out
in the parade The Chronicle boys
remember that during the exercises
the Edge6eld troopers were banked
in an old field and the sun became
very hot at midday. They remember
Ben Tillman's dashing across the
field on horseback 10 ask the COM
mander if he might move his troop
ers in the shade, as the> men and
horses had ridden across the river
from Edgefeld that morning and
needed water badly.

Who was Ben Tillman? The people
Of Augusta began to talk about him.
His cotton factors said that he was
good farmer, but that his wife was
better farmer. He was a Stlckler
for paving his debts. He was not a
large planter. but his credit Was good
on cotton row. When he used to
come to the Chronicle office at night
he invariably brought a pretty jar
Of fresh butter or a little basket Of
fruit for his friend. Pat Walsh. This
shows that Ben not only raised cot
ION. but he made his own supplies. He
had a fine orchard, a good dairy :;
many people said that the manage
ment Of his wife secured these things.
At any rate, he lived at home, and he
lived we'll. Now and then the local
columns Of the Chronicle would print
an article like this:
"Our popular friend, Captain Ben
jamin R. Tillman, Of Ropers, has left
upon our table some fine fruit and
fresh eggs, just from his fourishing
little Carolina farm. Come again.
Captain. the latch string always hangs
on the outside'
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-10-12

recountin@ the wrongs OF the South
ern farmer. These articles were al
WAYS well written. The man did not
seem to be cultivated in his manner.
He had but one eye and his hair WAS
rarely we'll brushed. But he evident
lv had read a great deaf and there
was lots Of vigor and originality in his
pieces. Generally 'he signed ''Farm-
err to his articles They mainly re-
lated to South Carolina matters.
Next, Captain Francis W. Dawson,
the editor Of the Charleston News and
Courier, became attracted by these
articles and wrote Ben Tillman, ask
in him to publish them IN the News
and Courier. He wrote sometimes for
that paper, but was not entirely
weaned away from the Chronicle,
which was really his home paper. His
brother, George D. Tillman, was a
member Of congress from that district.
He was one Of the ,brainieSt and most
original men who ever represented
South Carolina in Washington. Ben
Tillman was a free lance, but his ar
ticles set people to thinking. Finally
he got the farmers stirred up. They
organized a farmers movement and
pretty soon Tillman became a politi-
cal factor in South Carolina. His first
appearance in a convention w:s in
Columbia in 1856, when John Peter
Richardson was nominated governor.
He was delegate from Edgefeld and
favored the nomination Of ex-Gov-
ernor Sheppard, who was from the
same county.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1909-10-12

John Gary Evans was the youngest
scion Of the house Of Gary. His un-
Gle, General Mart W. Gary, had been
a. power in Edgefeld during the ear
" days Of Democracy, but for some
reason he did not train with the po-
htical school Of Hampton. Butler,
Hagood, Richardson and others. The
other uncle, Major William T. Gary
had moved to Augusta just after the
war, and was practicing law He was
later Judge of the Augusta circuit,
was a member Of the legislature from
/ Richmond county, and was appointed
RUnited States district attorney by
president Cleveland. He also had a
good practice in South Carolina. and
it was probably by his advice that the
young nephew returned 10 Aiken.
Very frequently a plain farmer
from Edgedeld used to come to the
chronicle office. He lived at "Ro-
pers'' South Carolina, which was a
postoffice inEdgefeld county. Reaching
the city he would climb the high steps
principally to see the Hon. Patrick
