he has won his way into the affec-
tions of all the people. Rather it
would mean a reluctance to antago-
nize an aged man, whose passionate
craving to hold on to his conspicuous
position in public life is far stronger
than anybody's disposition to put
him out" We think the State Is
mistaken in what it says above. At
least, that is our idea, based on what
we have seen and heard in he last
few years. There are many people
in this community who were once
bitter opponents Of Senator Tillman,
who are now his friends and would
regret to see him leave the Senate.
On his recent visit to Orangeburg
Senator Tillman was called on by
about as many old time anti-Till-
NANTES as Tillmanites, which shows
hows he stands now with those who
used to oppose him. With few eX-
ceptions everyone wants Senator
Tillman reelected.

South Getting Whittier.

The Progressive Farmer rejoices
to find from an analysis of census
returns that the rural South is rap
idly growing whittier and that the
white population Of the whole South
is increasing almost exactly twice
as fast as that of the negro popula-
ton. Gwen from a selfish stand
point" it comments, 1--WE realize that
the best interests Of the whole South
demand that the negro be made moIe
intelligent, efficient and prosperous.
But at the best this process will be
slow; and the proportion OF negroes
to whites in the South has been too
large even for the negro's own good y
AS the Charlotte Observer says, in
some parts of the South especially.
Too large a proportion of negroes
anywhere tends to make race rela-
tions tense. to deprive the white man
of free action and the negro of that
full measure of inspiration aud eX-
ample which contact with the white
man should afford. Under such cir
cumstances lawlessnes" thrives and
all the standards Of civic life are
more Or less debased.

The Columbia Record says at
least one feature of "The Worlds
Works census is strikingly impor-
tant. OF the total number Of votes,
519, received by Governor Wilson in
this ballot, 145 were cast by Republi-
cans and % by Independents. Which
is to say that of the Democratic pos
sibilities, Governor Wilson makes the
strongest appeal to the Independent
ly inclined Republicans and the
straightout Independents.
"This conclusion drawn from the
ballot taken by the Worlds Work is
confirmed by every other observa-
ton. A Columbia visitor to Allan
tic City, recently returned, reported
that several Republican voters, from
as many different States, who we're
met up with there, declared their in
tention of supporting Governor VIII
son should he be nominated. 9th
erwise they will vote the Republi'
can ticket.
Governor Wilson himself has said
that in his travels to different parts
of the. country the most impressive
fact noted is the breaking away from
party ties and the dispo 9ition to sup
port progressive measures, regard
less of what party label they do OF
do not bear. 1t is because Governor
Wilson stands so conspiculously be-
fore the people as "a progressive
statesman that the trend Of sentiment
is in his direction"

to San Diego. He will personally look
into the local conditions with which the
agents must contend. And when Chief
Wilkie finishes lookin. over the field

There had been a division Of authority
in the handling Of the customs agents,
and this had led to compiled tons.
Wilkie was made the sole head Of the
organization, and no man in it is to
listen to orders from any other source.
His first act was to call for the records
of every special agent in New York.
He studied the records of these with
the idea of determining who were the
men who were delivering the goods. The
man who could show no record Of ac-
complishment wars put on the grill. He
had to show why his record did not
bristle with those feats that had char
acterized the work of certain other men.
There were plenty Of good men in the
service by whom the tbad ones might
be measured. The dead wood could
readily be found.
