HOW THEY HELPED THE BREAD
LINE.

How very few among US have real
lied, through personal experience
what the pangs Of starvation may, or
may not, accomplish, with our minds,
our bodies, or even with our immortal
souls!
How very few stop to think what
it might mean to be homeless, friend
less, utterly destitute and starving
slowly starving-to death!
Have you ever looked at the physi-
cal effects of starvation, as written
on the ghastly faces and shrunken
forms Of your less fortunate fellow
men?
twenty-five hundred starving men
may be interviewed every night in
New York City, at the unhallowed
hour Of l O'Clock, stretching in a
great long line that winds up and
down and in and out through the ST.
lent, deserted ,thoroughfares Of the
Bowery. Needless Of the biting, win
try winds, careless Of the snow and
sleet, they huddle together for warmth
yet huddle not so that their right
full places in this dreadful line Of
starvation may be usurped and lost
to them. Some carry little rag Of
sacking, others a board-the lid of
a barrel, mayhap which to stand
their feet and so separate them, even
that little, from the frozen snow.
This footrest they push forward, as
the line moves slowly onward. Many
of them have been standing on this
miserable protection since before mid
night, fearful lest tH ley should be
last on the line, and so jeopardize
their chance Of a mouthful Of food.
Look at their shivering, shrunken
bodies; see the great wistful eyes,
staring from pale, bloodless faces.
Watch how wolfshly anxious they
grow, as they near the Mission door,
and how their hungry eyes glare into
the lighted room, fearful lest those
who had gone in ahead of them would
leave nothing behind.
!. This is starvation!
On Saturday afternoon I was idly
looking out at the drifting snow that
xhirled and eddied like dry sand
with each puff Of the cold wintr!'

STATE BORROWs MONEY.
Several Banks Made Bids on Propos-
ed Loans.-Necessary to Have
S500,000.
The Record.

The Record.
Arrangements were made yester-
day by the State of South Carolina
to borrow $300,0O0 at rate Of inter-
est Of 3 per cent. There were several
banks bidding for the loan and the
offer of the Palmetto National bank
Of this city was accepted. The fact
that money can be obtained much
cheaper than at any time during the
past six months is shown in the list
Of bids submitted, As no bid was over
4 per cent. 1t is believed that the bid
accepted is the lowest rate of interest
on which any loan has ever been made
in this State to the State or to bank
in the State.
The State is allowed to borrow
$500,00O each year and there have
been few, if any, years in which the
limit was not reached since this be-
came law. It will be necessary to
borrow about half Of this at once
on account Of the pension money,
which will be paid out Immediately.
At a meeting Of the States finance
committee, consisting Of Gov. Ansel,
State Treasurer Jennings and Comp
troller General Jones, it was decided
to give out formal statement as to
the bids of the various banks. This
statement was prepared by Comp
troller General Jones, who acted as
secretary, and is as follows:
"At a meeting this day held by his
excellency, Martin F. Ansel, govern
or, Hon. R. II. Jennings, State Treas
urer, and A. W. Jones, comptroller
general, sealed bids of the several
banks offering to loan the State $780,
900 We're opened and appear as fol-
lows:
''Palmetto National bank, Colum-
bia; 3 per cent. interest; Merchants
and Farmers bank, Spartanburg,
3 l-2 per cent. interest; National
Loan and Exchange bank, Columbia,
3 l-2 per cent. discount; National
Union bank, Rock Hill, 3 3-4 per
cent. interest; Central National bank,
Spartanburg, 4 per cent. discount;
First National bank, Spartanburg, 1
per cent. interest.
1'It appearing that the bid Of the
Palmetto National bank Of Columbia
being the lowest offer, as appears
from the bids submitted, the said Of
fer to make the loan at 8 per cent. in

| TILLMAN AT WHITE HOUSE.
His First Visit to the Executive Man
sion in Seven Years.-Was Wait
Until Gentleman Got There.

Washington, April 20.-Senator
Tillman of South Carolina paid his
first visit in seven years to the White
House to-day and received a cordial
greeting from President Taft. His
appearance in the executive offices
created a sensation.
The senator walked to the White
House unaccompanied, but left with
Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, riding
to the capitol with the latter in his
automobile.
Booker T. Washington was waiting
to see the president when Senator
Tillman arrived. The South Carolin-
ian was Immediately shown into Pres
ident Taft's private office. The call
was purely Of social nature, it was
declared.
II came" said Senator Tillman,
"to see if ofics-seekers had fried
any fat off Of the president, but they
haven't fried a pound.''
When asked why he had never Wis
tied the White House in the past,
Senator Tillman replied:
''I waited until a gentleman got
here.'
"1t's not necessary to make a nine
days wonder Of my visit to see Pres
ident Taft.
"We have always been good friends
and I have frequently gone to see
him as secretary Of war. Whether he
has inherited his Office from Roose-
velt or been elected by the people,
there is no reason for any one to sup
pose that he has Inherited Roose-
velt 5 weakness.
Senator Tillman said that he mere
lv went to the White House to say
good morning to the president and to
express his "gratifcation upon hav-
ing a gentleman there. -
II have no favors to ask Of the
president and no advice to offer, -
said the senator.
II would have gone to see him
sooner, had it not been for the fact
that have been out Of the city,"
While at the White House, the sen
ator saw Booker Washington for the
first time.
'I was very curious to see him, -
said Senator Tillman, "because it
enabled me to draw my own conclu-
sion as to the percentage Of white
blood there is in him. It is over one
half"
When asked what impression he
formed Of Washington, Senator Till
man replied: "Booker Washington is
considered a great negro, and he has
craat intellectual powers. He has a
Jesuitical face. If he had MT been
engaged with lot Of people about
him, T should have gone up to
him and chatted with him. would Like
to discuss the race question with
Booker Washington. I would like to
ask him lot of questions.
