octopus, which sways legislatures
was sent along with the Tillman re-
ply, as was a letter, which Senator
Carlisle had from Harrison Ferguson,
the Spartanburg man, who, too, is re-
plying to Senator Tillman's attack.
Senator Clifton denounced the state
ment of Senator Tillman and said that
he would never vote for it to 90 into
the temporary Journal, the permanent
Journal or cross between them. He
said that he was not Influenced by Gel.
Abney or any other colonel, and he
would never vote for such an out
rageous charge to go into any Journal.
The Sumter senator was supported by
Senator Carlisle, Senator Young and
others, the Spartanburg senator CIV
iHg notice that he was going to vote
to expunge both the message Of Gov
ernor Blease and the reply of Senator
Tillman from the permanent records
of the senate.
Senator Nicholson thought that it
was a matter Of simple justice that
Senator Tillmans reply ought to be
printed in the temporary Journal, as
Governor Blease's message had been
printed there. Senator Patterson called
on the senate either to make, Senator
Tillman prove his charges Of railroad
domination or else retract them. The
matter was finally disposed of by
sending it to the judiciary committee.
Other features of the session this
morning was the passing of concur
rent resolution offered by Senator Ap-
pelt, to request the governor to per-
NIT such companies of the National
Guard as wished to attend the inaug-
uration of President Wilson to do so.
Mr.. Applet said that he understood
that the governor would grant such
permission if the general assembly re-
quests it.
The Ashley resolution providing for
an investigation into the charges
against President Mitchell, Of the State
University, was adopted, the senate

BETHEA MAKES STATEMENT.
Governors Critism "Un:air and
Unjust" SAYS Code Commissioner.

Columbia, Jan. 23.-Code Commis-
sionerf Bethea submitted a statement
in connection with the message OF
Governor Blease in criticism Of work.
Mr.. Bethea thought the message
unfair, unjust and unbecoming. He
said he had appended sheet of errata
that covered all the mistakes made
and that he had worked dilig: ntly and
with ambition to do his duty. The
Code commissioner statement was or
dered printed in the Journal.

proof of his charge that the Iegisla
ture is dominated by railroads is view.
ed as the opening gun in the fight tt
prevent his reelection.
Such purpose is disclaimed by the
author of this resolution, Mr.. Rembert
but nevertheless, these in touch with
the situation look upon it in the nature
of the opening wedge.
1t is suggested that the next move
will be to offer resolution when the
general assembly convenes on Mon
day to postpone balloting for United
States senator until Senator Tillman
either furnishes proof of his charges
Or retracts them. Some hold that the
constitution makes it mandatory for
the legislature to ballot Tuesday for
United States senator and if this view
is taken by the general assembly it
may cause those behind the movement
either to show their hand by scatter
ing their votes among different candi-
dates to prevent Tillman getting ma
jority or else abandon the fight alto
gether if they haven't mustered
enough strength to justify the wisdom
of open opposition.
Blease Waits Decision.
There is no denial Of the fact that
there is a disposition to beat Tilman.
The Blease followers would gladly
lend it thair aid if they could find
Justification of their course for they
would like to beat him for his repudi-
alton of Governor Blease on the eve Of
the campaign last summer.
There are several who have never
kicked On Tillman and have lived a
lifetime with the hope chat they might
see the day when he is beatea> There
are still others who would ordinarily
have stood bssiGe him, but who have
been driven away by his accusation OF
corruption of the legislature by the
railroads.
They are very indignant and in the
right frame of mind to |listea to just
such plot as is forming. Tilman's
political power is fast on the wane,
some public men say, and this is prob
ably the first legislature in the last
twenty years that feel that make de-
mands of Til,man's power and forces,
and not face political ruin.
He still has friends and there is also
a large faction that would put up with
almost anything before they would &C
against the primary choice. No ole
can be found who would own that they
are behind this movement aad there il
as yet nothing more than dlsorganlZ-
ed and some what chaotic feeling, but
enough of neucleus to make the mat
ter possible.
1t may be that when those behind it
feel around they will fad that opposi-
ton will be useless, and may let Till
man be reelected without opposition,
but it is just probable that another
man will be placed in the race against
him Tuesday and these who do so will
probably justify themselves by saying
that he accused them Of being venal
and corrupt, which is untrue. and out
rageous, and that such charge re-
lieved them of any obligation to abide
by the primary nomination.
Senator Tillman is rounding out his
third term in the senate and was re-
nominated by large majority over
two opponents last summer.

FOES OF TIL Imam PLAN
DEFEAT AS U. S. SENATOR
MOVEMENT UNDER WAY TO HAVE
HIM RETIRED.
Opponents Are EndeayOring to Agree
on Candidate Who Can Defeat
South Carolina Veteran.


Columbia, Jan pa movement
having for it's object the defeat OF
United States Senator B. R. Tillman
when the general assembly meets
Tuesday to ballot for this office. is
under way.
1t may reach enough proportions by
Tuesday to take the shape of definite
action, but just at present the move
ment has not gotten that far. Those
hchind it are feeling" their way eau
tiously and will have everything map
ped out before they launch the fight
which will have for its object the re-
firing Of Benjamin Ryan Tillman to
private life.
Angered by the charge of Senator
Tillman that they are controlled by the
railroads, certain members of the gen
eral assembly are planning to show,
their resentment in such way as to be
felt, and are casting around to see il
they can't muster enough strength to
retire him.
Those behind the movement must
have some one on whom to centre their
strength in order to beat Till!nan.
Some have suggested that former U.
S. Senator John l.. McLarin, now rep
resenting Marlboro county in the State
senate, would be the man and that he
is the logical candidate. He was driv
en- out of public life by Senator Till
man, and for the past several years
has besn in retirement, emerging to
take the place in the upper chamber
made vaca0t by the death of Senator
Green. But Senator McLaurin is per-
soma non grata to large part Of the
general assembly on account OF his
political record while in the United
States seG1ate. and therefore his cam
didacy could hardly muster sufficient
strength.
Watts is Mentioned.
Another suggestion has ~heen made
that Associate Justice R. i. Watts be
!oted for instead of Senator Til1man,
this is of course, without Justice
Watts knowledge, and it is known that
these plans have not been even whis-
pered to him. In spite of the fact
that he stated in his inaugural ad-
dress that he would not take the place
were he to be elected to a seat in the
United States senate in case of the
death of either of the preset senators,
the name of Governor Cole. L. Blease
has been brought forward az posi-
bility with which to accomplish the
defeat of Senator Tillman. The COVER
nor's enmity to Senator Tillman, his
hold upon a large, part Of the people
and the further fact that is believed
that some of his political opponents
il the general assembly would rather
see him in the senate than in the gov
ernor's chair, are matters taken into
account. and some Of those behind this
movement believe that the governor
would accept the place under the cir
cumstances
AS far as investigation has gone, the
governor has not been approached on
the subject, and has taken no part in
the movement The passage by the
house the other day Of the resolution
calling on Senator Tillman to furnish

Start Health Account for Your Baby.

In the January Woman S Home Com
panion the campaign for Better Babies
is carried further by the publication
in the Department for Better Ba-
bies' of an article entitled ''The I'm
portance of Good HEALTH by DR.. S.
Josephine Baker, director of child by
giene in the Department of Health of
New York city. Following is an ex
tract:
1t is common practice to start a
bank account for the new baby, added
to on each birthday, with the interest
accommodating until, when the boy or
girl reaches 81, a substantial sum is
ready as reserve fund to fall back
upon if the need comes. Would it not
be we'll to start a health account in
the bank of life for the new baby2
Every critical moment passed, every
disease prevented in infancy will add
to it amazingly; robust and normal
childhood will make it grow and the
NEST egg of health, once started, can
be kept increasing until it begins to
| draw the dividends of vigor and vital
