1t is too bad Senator Tillman
is deprived by law Of the use Of
free passes, it is q great incon-
venience and an annoyance to
have to pay railroad fare like the
common herd. but,
Every body walks bu, father, ne rides
around al day.
Big Nocul on the railroad, he con
have TO pay;
Brother John is walking. ard so IS
little VIII.
So is the whole damn family, since
Hepburn passed his bill.
The Senator voted for the Hep
burn bill and now makes a kick
about having to exchange his
mileage for a ticket, but be says
nothing about having saved So
to get that kind of mileage. The
Senator should know that the
railroads cannot be compelled to
sell the travelling public a mile
age book. Should the legislature
require the railroads TO take up
mileage on the trains, the roads
would simply discontinue the sale
of the books, and thereby incon-
venience people who find the
mileage book very convenient,
and the saving Of s. to them q
great help, especially those who
are not so fortunate to be able to
draw a salary from the public
treasury while engaged in lectur-
ing to the damn yankee" 1T so
much per.
With regard to Clemson We are
in accord with the Senator's
views. There can no good result
in the effort to change the man
agement of Clemson, although
there is just ground fos dissatis-
faction because Of the periodical
outbreaks, but these things can
be corrected without revolution
ling the institution.
Clemson college is an institu-
ton which should be kept out Of
the turmoil Of politics, and in
stead Of making its affairs, a
hobby horse for politicians to
ride, it would De far better for
the State if the press and people
would join in devising a means to
build it up and make it what its
founders intended.
We think the Senator should
feel under obligations to the press
instead of abusing it. He has re.
ceived much valuable service
from the newspapers, which did
not cost him a cent, and should
they take a notion to ignore him
in the future. he would not con-
tinue long in the lime-light. not
even should he now profess con-
version to prohibition. The pro
Mbitionists would not take him IN
because they rode the Tillman
goat in 1892, and it threw them
into an ocean of whiskey; they
will take no more chances with
him, and besides, they have lead
ers Of their own, men who have
been watching, waiting and pray
ing for a band-wagon to come
along that they might ride into
an Office haven, they have wait
ed long andgpatiently, and now
that they have come within sight
Of Official land, the Senator need
fear that his senatorial seat is IN
danger, and the promise of rota-
ton IN Office will at last be fulfill
ed.
Therefore the distinguished
watchman who cannot do the inn
possible, watch the raScals in
Washington and Columbia, be-
cause, it is as much as the people
should expect of one man IN their
service, to keep a watch on those
rascals who have the ''oest sec.
tionS of timber land" to dispose
of. It is important that the best
sections Of this Western timber
should be watched so those ras-
Gals IN Washington Will not disin-
genously rch the government,
otherwise the consequences
would result in the negro becom-
ing registered and allowed to
vote. The state is in great danger
of political annihiliation. Tillman
Is the State. So long as Tillman
is Senator South Carolina is safe
whether he is on a lecture tour
orr bis seat at Washington when
