Its not necessary to make nine
days wonder Of my visit to Presi-
dent Taft" said Mr.. Tillman after his
return to the Capitol. eve have al
ways been good friends, and | have
freqently gone to see him as Secre-
tary of War. Whether he has inher-
tied his office from Roosevelt or been
elected by the people there is no rea-
son for any one to suppose that he
has inherited Roosevelts meanness."

to the White House to say good
morning to the President and to ex-
press qualification upon having a
gentleman there"
II have no favors TO ask of the
President and no advice to offer"

gone to see him sooner had it not
been for the fact that / have been

first convenient opportunity to call
upon him."
While at the White Hous, Sena-
Tor Tillman saw Booker Washington
for the first time.
II was very curious to see him."

bled me to draw my own conclusions
as TO the percentage Of white blood
there is in him. 1t is over one~half."
Booker Washington is considered
great negro, and he has great in
tellectual powers. He has Jesuit
cal face. If he had not been engaged

LOOKING OUT FOR FARMERS.
Senator. Smith Wants Sulphate of
Ammonia on Free List.

Washington, April Ex-senator
Smith got in some good work for the
farmers Of South Carolina Wednes-
day when he began his fight for the
retention of sulphate of ammonia on
the free list in the new tariff bill. AL
though this commodity is placed un-
der the head of those that are to be
admitted free, Senator Smith feared
that through some means duty
might be placed on it which would
come out of the pockets Of the far
mers in the end.
He protested on the floor Of the
Senate and secured permission to
place his remarks in the Congress
sional Record at length. He will do
this as soon as he can secure the nee
esSary data.
Should duty be placed on this COM
modify it would come out from the
agricultural people and not the ferti-
lizer manufacturers, and it will be
in the interest Of these that Senator
Smith will make his fight.
G. S. Fitzsimmons, b.. F.. Taylor
and other fertilizer people Of South
Carolina were here to-day and saw
Senator Smith about the matter.
Mr.. Smith believes he will win the

CONFEDERATE GRAVES.
Gen. Oates Orders Sod at Northern
Cemetery Plowed Up.

Columbus, Ohio, April 23.-The
Columbus Chapter of the Daughters
of the Confederacy is much exercised
over the fact that the sod at the
Camp Chase cemetery for Confede-
rate veterans has been plowed up
from instructions from Gen. w. c..
Oates, Of the United States War De-
partment.
The Camp Chase cemetery, while
the property of the government, is
supposed to be directly in charge of
the Columbus Chapter of the Daugh-
ers Of the Confederacy, and the men,
bers think they should have at least
have been consulted before action
was taken. Some of the graves are
very shallow, and the Daughters
fear some Of the bones might be dis
turbed by the plowing.
Gen. Oates, who is himself a Con-
federate soldier, and whose home is
in Alabama, explains in letters that
the work is done to improve the sod.
There are $500 Confederate SOL
diers buried in Camp Chase ceme-
terry, only about half OF whom have
ever been identified
