The Government and the Newspapers

There went into effect last Monday
certain changes in the postal r"guia-
tions that are calculated 10 have /;
very revolutionary effect upon The
new spapcIs OF tn" United States.
Heretofore for many years past the
second class postal rate applying tf
newspapers. provided as follows:
No charge for postage in the coun'
ties of publication except III towns
with free delivery, and OH rural route:
out Of towns in which there is free
delivery In the excepted cases tho
rate WAS the same as elsewhere oNcl
the country--onc cent Il pound. flat
for whatever distance.
If the town in which il is publish
I'd has n free delivery system. tht
newspaper must pay one cent for eacl
copy delivcr"d: hut il may hc deliv-
cred through any other free deliver!
town i'm the same county or else
where at the rate of one cent q
pound.
Under the new law the free deliver!
regulations remain the same: but tho
paN rate is increased to Il cents a
pound in the first and second zones
with increasing rates 10 the more dis
tant zones.
Because of the uniform fiat rate oi
one cent II pound to all parts of tho
country. there has been no difficulty
about the collection of postal charg-
rs in subscription prices, and the GUS
tom Of uniform subscription prices
has been universal.
Under the new regulation, all news
papers will he forced to either
natfEiiallNn .irGgGasH i.sGir. S3lbsnslB4 iaf
rates to all. or add zone rates to dis
tant subscribers.
This new arrangement comes rs
quite II hardship on all newspapers
and the hardship will fall with cspc-
cial weight upon the large ncwspa-
pcrs and periodicals of nation wide
circulation.

Senator 3, r, TiIIman.

Senator benjamin Ryan Tillman
died at his home in Washington al
40 O'Clock last Wednesday morning
following an attack of paralysis on the
previous Thursday.
Senator Tilman had been promi-
nrnl in the affairs of South Carolina
for more than thirty years. and dur
ing y large portion Of that time. has
enjoyed the distinction Of being onf
of the most picturesque men Of the
nation.
The senator first came into promi-
ncncr in the state through what he
always aftcrward referred to as his
Bcnnctisvillr speech. in which ht
discussed the desperate condition OF
agricultural affairs. through what he
charged was the indifference and neg
lcct OF state and national government
officials. and in which he advocated
industrial and agricultural education
OF the farmers as remedy.
He also pointed out in this speech
that the government of the state had
long been and still was in the hands
of an aristocratic o!igarchy that
was Indifferent to any welfare except
it's own and urged the necessity ol
overthrowing this oligarchy through q
more general interest I'm the affairs OF
the government. He pointed out that
hut few people had any say in the
nomination and election Of public Of
tcials and he preached that every
white man should cast his ballot al
every opportunity.
This fscnnettsville speech struck O
responsive cord in the public mind
and set large part Of the state by
the ears. so to speak, and at the same
time aroused very considerable
amount of opposition among those
who were able to see that If this
Moses should secure sufficient leeway
he would soon become n factor to be
dealt with by those who then con-
trolled the situation.
In those days all state officers were
nominated in state convention by
delegates sent to Columbia from the
various county conventions. = Because
so far removed from the state conven-
tion. the voters gave hut little concern
as TO who went TO the county con-
ventions. and this made easy the
control of the county conventions b!
men who understood the value oi
having n voice in the state conven.
ton.
After his Bennettsville speech, Capt
Tillman began the organization ol
what vas called Farmers Move.
ment," with the idea Of securing con-
troll of the county conventions. Some
headway was made under this plan;
but progress was not rapid enough
and in 1SSS Captain Tillman undertook
n canvass Of the state, county b,
county. with a view to changing thu
complexion of the county conventions
His canvass was in opposition tS
John Peter Richardson. John Peter
however, still had the organization
and Mr.. Tillman was very mucf
chagrined to find that in most coun'
ties delegates to the state conven'
tion had already been elected priol
to the speaking dates.
But the experience that Mr.. Till
man had acquired in four years o.
effort to reform things through the
regular channels had not been wasted

UP TO REQUIREMENTS

York county has come fully up to
requirements on the war savings
stamp drive. The allotment for the
county in this drive was $5S6.OOO-
1850. 300 for the eastern side and $22G.-
900 for the western side. The eastern
side has raised Si05.O00 and the
western side has raised s222,760. a
total OF sG27, ,76O. or S4l.760 more than
the allotment.
1t has required unusually hard work
to raise this moncy-not on account
Of any reluctance on the part OF the
peoplc: but because money Is scarce
just now. ana IL Is not to bc borrow :
ed on--the war savings stamp as a
security. The subscribers have to put
up the cold cash either now or later
and they must take il either out OF
their own surplus or borrow II on
their personal credit. The workers,
all of them. have done splendidly. and
are deserving of much credit.
Following is n statement of the al
lotnents for the various school dis
tricts on the western side andt the
amount raised by each as furnished
by Mr.. W. B. Moore. chairman OF the
drive on the western side:

The Incident Referred To.

The incident referred to Is what IL
known as the "Buford Massacre II
occurred on Waxhaw creek, in Ian
caster county, about 40 miles north OF
Camden, on May 20, 1880. After the
occupation Of Charleston by Sir Henry
Clinton, Colonel Bcford, who was at
Camden with 400 infantry and few
cavalry. on his way to assist the he
leaguered city, decided to retreat 10
Charlotte. Colonel Tarleton came att
er him with 700 men, cavalry and
mounted infantry and overlook him In
camp. Tarleton demanded immediate
surrender on humiliating terms Col.
Buford refused and Tarleton attacked
Immediately. The Americans were in
confusion and after a few SLOTS most
of them threw down their arms and
begged for quarter. Tarleton granted
no quarter however. The British IN
fantry circled around the Americans.
firing into them from every side, and II
is said the cavalry cut of empty hands
held up in attitude Of surrender. One
hundred and thirteen Americans were
killed, $50 were so MANNED as to be
unable to travel and fifty were taken
prisoners Five British were killed and
fifteen were wounded. This exploit of
Tarletons Is denounced by many
American historians as nothing but
cold -blooded massacre. 1t was on ac-
count of this incident that "TarletOn's
quarter" became proverbial for crulty.
When reproachcd about the affair Tar
Teton defended himself with the ex-
PLANTATION that Buford had refused "A
fair chance for surrender. and also
while most Of Buford's men were beg
ging for quarter others were still firing
on the British.
