pointed United States district attor-
uey by President Cleveland. lie also
had a good practice in South Caro-
lima, and it was probably by his ad-
vice that the young nephew returned
to Aiken.
Very frequently plain farmer
from Edgefeld used to come to the
Chronicle office. He lived at crop
erS,' South Carolina, which was a
postoffice in Edgefield county. Reach
ing the city he would climb the high
steps principally to see the Hon Pat
rick Walsh, who was the editor and
publisher of the Chronicle. His
name was Ben Tillman, and now and
then he would write a communica
ton to the Chronicle stressing the
rights and recounting the wrongs of
the Southern farmer. These articles
were always 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 had evidently read a great deal
and there was lots of vigor and orig
inality in his pieces. Generally he
signed "Farmer" to his articles.
They mainly related to South Caro-
lima matters. Next, Captain Francis
W Dawson, the editor of the Charles
ton News and Courier, became at
tracted by these articles and wrote
Ben Tillman, asking him to publish
them in the News and Courier. He
wrote sometimes for that paper, but
was not entirely weaued away from
the Chronicle, which was really his
home paper. His brother, George d
Tillman, was member of Congress
from that district. He Wa' one Of
the brainiest and most original men
who ever represented South Carolina
in Washington. Ben Tillman was q
free lance, but his articles set people
to thinking. Finally he got the
farmers stirred up. They organized q
farmers movement aud pretty soon
Tillman became political factor in
South Carolina. His first appearance
| in convention was in Columbia in
1886, when John Peter Richardson
was nominated Governor. He was
delegate from Edgefeld and favored
the nomination of ex. Governor Shep.
pard who was from the same county.
Who was Ben Tillman? The peo-
pie of Augusta began to talk about
him. His cotton factors said that he
was a good farmer, but that bis wife
was a better farmer. He was stick.
LEI for paying 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 pretty jar of
fresh butter or little basket of fruit
for his friend, Pat Walsh. This
shows that Ben not only raised cot
ton but that he made his own sup
plies. He had a fine orchard, a good
dairy; many people said that the
management 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 Chron-
icle would print an article like this:
sour popular friend Captain Ben
jamin r Tillman of Roper's'has left
upon our table some fine fruit and
fresh eggs, just from his flourishing
little Carolina farm. Come again,

Tillman 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
deserving fellow. l do not recall

Der the night he was elected Govern
or. He came over to the Chronicle
Office as usual and sat by the desk of
the news editor. The Chronicle re-
ceived specials from all parts of the
State and Ben Tlllman read, but
from the telegraph ticker, the news
of his triumph. Pretty soon the office
was filled with Edge6eld people and
Carolinians generally, congratulating
"Captain Tillman," or Governor
Tillman," which should It be?
"Boys, call me Ben," said the
leader, and it was generally that way,
anyhow. l don't recall that John
Gary Evans or McSweeney came In
that night. If they were in town
they did. I remember that somebody
wanted to set up champagne over
Tillman's election, hpt he refused it,
saying that he didn't like it-never
drank it, and that as for raw oy-
ster, he couldn't touch one.

Well, John Gary Evans plodded
along in Aiken. The Garya all Join
ed 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
ased to sing tenor and make his re-
markable speeches in the district
court. Then, after Ben Tillman, he
was nominated and elected Governor,
By the farmers. The rest is known.
He became president of the constitu-
tional convention, which pat dlSpen-

Carolina. His career was meteoric.
Nc one in Augusta dreamed Of it.
But Ben Tillman went to the United
States Senate and John Gary went
to the executive Office in Columbia.
But truth is stranger than fiction.
In some way McSweeney-quiet,
plodding, popular-had broken into
the Legislature. He, too, was a Till
man mar. Finally he went to the
Senate and then became Lieutenant
Governor. During his term of office,
as second in command, Governor El-
lerbe died and McSweeney actually
became Governor Of South Carolina.
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 suor
cessful in his law practice, and Ben
Tillman is Senator and lecturer,
making about as much on the plat
form as he makes from his salary in
the upper house.

Who was Ben Tillman? Well, he
was captain of the cavalry company,
or the ree-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 COM
pany over from Edge6eld to turn out
in the parade. The Chrsnicle boys
remember that during the exercises
the Edgefeld troopers were banked
over in an old field and the sun be-
came very hot at midday. They re-
membered Ben Tillnan's dashing
across the field on horseback to ask
the commander if he might move his
troopers in the shade,as the men and
horses had ridden across the river
from Edgeheld that morning and
needed water badly.

Office for whom the BOYS had great
liking wss young john Gary Evans.
He came over from Edgefield to read
law IN his uucle's Office. John had
not begun to take life seriously. he
was tall, slender,rather frall looking;
had small dark eyes, with very fine
brow. He was popular with everybody.
He was essentially a favorite in soci-
ety. He possessed Il fine, delicate
tenor voice, and even in conversation
his tones were rather high and pip
ing. After living in Augusta a few
years he came up to The Chronicle
one uight and told them to announce
that he was going to move to Aiken
and open a Law Office. There was a
perfect howl of protest. The crowd
DID not want him to leave Augusta.
They told him that the man who left
Augusta left Gods country,and that
the move to Aiken was to bury him
self aud to give up all thought of a
career ln the law. However, John
Gary had thonght it over, and next
morning the Chronicle contained a
personal item something like this:
"Mr John Gary Evans, our popu-
lar aad talented young townsman,
who has been reading Law IN the city
for the past two years, has decided
to return to his native State of South
Carolina. Mr. Evans will hang out
his Single in Aiken, and We bespeak
for him the confidence O. the people
in his new home.
