The car gave a lurch. The young
man, who had just risen from his

stopped with a jerk. The young man
sat down automatically in the fash

shrek in this wise:

AND 1T MUST FOLLOW AS THE NIGHT THE DAY: TT
SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 90 1918.
SENATOR E. e. WERNER WRITES.
Enjoyed Winthrop Trip-Composi-
ton "a Senate-The Corn Show.

ColuMbia, Jan. 27.-Editor Keo-
wee Coprier: / intended writing you
letter3last week, but was prevented
by sickness. We have been here two
weeks now and very little has been
done.
1t Is Interesting to know the COM
positionaof the Senate. 1t doubtless
has Strong bearing on legislation:
There hre eighteen lawyers, nine
plantera six bankers, four mer-
chants, kthree doctors, two editors,
one }utaber dealer, one real estate
dealer. 8 Taken as a whole they are
a quiett modest%set of men. Speak
ing to this body is more like address
ing jury than anything | can think
of. There are not many bills and
few attempts at oratory, though |
think at times there is entirely too
much talking on unimportant mat
ters.
l think the one-mill State tax for
school purpC Ses will pass with much
opposition, and the colleges will
come In for large appropriations.
This suite is wide awake on two
things and determined to have them
at all cost-better schools and bet
ter roads. Some OF us will have to
apply the brakes or we may go too
far.
There will be many bills Of pro-
gressivdsssr.-not to say OF radical-teL-
denries introduced, such as selling all
ths State farms and sending the con-
! icts to the public roads .G favor
this); selling the asylum farm and
building further out from the city.
l do not know about this yet, but we
| must be sure we are right-as far
as we can know and learn the right
i-before going ahead.
The great corn show opened here
to-day.sT From first indications there
will be the greatest crowd Of pee pie
in Columbia that has ever been here.
Nearly forty States have exhibits,
and people will be here from all over
the United States.
l was at Winthrop recently. Our
county is very creditably represented
there bg fifteen bright, pretty girls.
l was mighty proud of them, and
they we're exceedingly attentive to
our dslsgation. Winthrop is great
hfnsti StSn and is fillingsa long fell
want in sending out over the State
every year a large number Of edu-
Gated as well as trained teachers
without doubt the States greatest
need
The young lnen in the House from
our county are taking an active in
terest in legislation.
/ hope to see a large number Of
people from Oconee in attendance
upon the corn show, and if they will
look me up in the Senate or at 1412
Blanding street l shall be glad to do
anything to make them comfortable
while in Columbia. e. E. Werner.

TIILMAN FIGHT TAKES SHAPE
Resolution TO Postpone Balloting for
United States Senator.

Columbia, Jan. 27.-"Our self-re-
spect demands that we postpone vot-
ing for B. r. Tillman for United
States Senator until he has had time
to either prove or retract his charges
that the railroads dominate the Gen.
eral Assembly" said Senator Young
tonight, in denouncing the Tillman
charge and speaking Of the Rembert
resolution calling on the Senator to
furnish proof of his charges.
This resolution caused hot de-
bate in the Senate, and Senator
Young made vigorous speech, in
which he scored the charges Of Till
man as outrageous. Consideration
OF the resolution was finally post
poned until tomorrow, On objection
Of Senator Carlisle to it's immediate
consideration.
When Senator Young said that he
favored voting for local men to-mor-
row when the ballot for United
States Senator Is taken, in order to
postpone the election of Senator Till
man until he has had time to make
good his charges or retract them, he
verified what has been known by a
good many for some time, that an
effort was on foot to show the resent
ment of the General Assembly to
Senator Tillman's charges in such a
way as would be felt, and to post
pone re-electing him until the
charges have been thoroughly sifted.
For the past several days there
have been certain ones feeling out
the sentiment against Senator Till
man and many favor the opinion ex-
pressed by Senator Young. The ad-
option of the Rembert resolution by
the House famed the spark Of resent
ment into vigorous flames.
Senator Weston replied in strong
terms to the charge of Senator Till
man and called for concurrence in the
House resolution.
Tomorrow is the day to ballot for
United States Senator, and fight to
postpone electing Senator Ti)!man
may be renewed in the Senate to-
morrow morning Crowded galleries
listened to the Senate's debate on the
Rembert resolution tonight.

III" TRAINS CRASH REAR-END
One Person Killed, Thirteen Injured,
and Many Panic-Stricken.

New York, Jan. 25.-One man
was killed and thirteen injured late
this afternoon in spectacular rear
end collision between two south
bound Third avenue elevated trains.
Both trains took fire, and for a time
it was feared that they would topple
into the street. The injured were
got out with much difficulty, while
the panic-stricken uninjured made
their arduous way over the ties to
the nearest station. The dead man,
pinned in the wreckage, had not
been identified when removed to a
police station, but from the burned
shreds of a police uniform and a re-
volver bearing department number,
it was learned later that the victim
was Patrolman j. M. Gleason.
Died Doing His Duty.
Railroad officers believe Gleason
died performing his duty. He went
to the aid Of injured persons, they
think, and in trying to help passen-
ger who was in a precarious condi-
tion stepped onto the third rail. The

The police arrested Michael Hern,
motorman Of the second train. Hern

people played streams of water on

FERGUSON TO SUE TILLMAN ?
Spartanburg Man Will Probably Ask
$25 900 for Libel.

Spartanburg, Jan. 25.-Harrison
Ferguson, of this city, recipient Of
the famous Tillman letter, written
just prior to the last Gubernatorial
campaign, whose affidavit stating
that this letter was not shown Gov
ernor Blease was doubted by Senator
Tillman in his reply to Governor
Blease, stated this morning in con-
versation with reporter that ne
would at an early date bring suit
against the Senator for libel and def
amation of character. At present at
torneys for Mr.. Ferguson are prepar-
ing the complaint, and it is expected
that all details of the suit will have
been completed within the next few
days and that the Senator may be
called into court to prove the truth
of his assertions.
Mr.. Ferguson, when he read the
Senator's reply to Blease, especially
thatpart in which aspersions were
made on the truthfulness of Mr..
Ferguson's statement, wrote to the
Senator and told him mat he felt
he had done q grave injustice and
the Senator was due him a modfica-
ton Of his statements.
There has been a rumor on the
streets since the Tillman statement
was first published that Mr.. Fergu-
son would bring a damage suit
against the Senator for libel and def
amation Of character, but not until
this morning, when seen by repor-
ter, did Mr. Ferguson confirm these
rumors. He did not state the amount
of the suit or who would be employed
as attorney for plaintiff, but rumor
has 1t that Mr.. Ferguson will ask for
$4,000 damages from Senator Till
man. Mr.. Ferguson would not go
into details other tim that he most
assuredly would brin, le suit.

FIGHT ON TILLMAN COLLAPSED.
Was Reelected Tuesday, His Oppo-
nents Showing Little Strength.

Columbia, Jan. 28.-The threaten
ed opposition to Senator B. r. Till
man collapsed when it failed to re-
ceive the support expected and the
two Houses Of the General Assembly,
balloting separately, reelected him
unanimously this morning for the
fourth time as United States Senator
from South Carolina, for the full
term beginning March 4. To-mor-
row the two Houses will meet ;ii
joint session to ratify this choice.
In the Senate last night the resent
ment against Senator Tillman because
or his charge lhft tt railroads domi-
mated the Gener assembly broke
out afresh, and speech in which
he scored Tillman, Senator Young. OF
Union, suggested that the election OF
Senator Tillman be postponed until
he could either prove his charges or
retract them.
Opposition Collapsed.
This morning 1t was thought that
the fight against electing Tillman
would be renewed, but those behind
1T found that it did not meet with
any support. Several favored the
matter, but the overwhelming major
ity held to the view that they were
bound to re-elect Mr.. Tillman, as he
was the choice of the primary vote.
This view was followed and the oppo-
sition to him ceased.
Before casting his vote for TilIman,
Senator Young said that he did SO
under protest and because he was the
agent OF the people of Union county.
Senator Tillman is expected to ar
rive here tomorrow to attend tho
National Corn Exposition now In pro-
igress. ~
