PHONE 101 1 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE 11 ,v I Ben Tillman The Challenged Character Study of the South Carolina Senator Who Has 4 f Formerly Been the Challenger, but Is Now Under Charge by the President Striking Incidents in the Career of a Man of Great Mental Capacity. p"1 r'-"r""r-4t--r""i","i By WALTON WILLIAMS. D RESIDENT ROOSEVELT S re cent charire nanlust Senator 1 Benjamlu 11. Tillman of South Carolina came as a thunderbolt. Without any attempt to spring a sen- lation, the details of a recent investi gation by post-office Inspectors ana secret service agents have been made public, and on their face they seem to Indicate that Mr, Tillman has used his Influence as a senator to induce the government to compel a railroad cor poration to relinquish its control of land grants from the United States In order that he and Ills family and his secretary, J. B. Knight, might proflt through the purchase of some of the land. In addition to this, It is charged that the senator has used his franking privilege in numerous instances for the conduct of his private business. Heretofore Mr. Tillman has been the challenger. At no time during his polit ical career has he lapsed Into even temporary obscurity. Ho is so essen tially a man of public affairs, so vital part of the business of legislation, so Insistent a participant in congres sional activity of every description, so unrestrained a critic of public men and measures, that his name is familiar throughout the land, and his utter ances and doings are of real interest to all men. In view of his wide repu tation for personal Integrity it is little wonder that the outcome is a matter of universal moment. Good Early Training. Bonator Tillman's father died when the boy was two years old. His moth er had a plantation of between 4,000 and 5,000 acres and between 200 and 2C0 slaves. The senator's early edu cation If it could have been continued dltlons in South Carolina. Reconstruc tion had created a division between the classes in the eastern and wsteru parts of the state almost as complete as that which the war had created be tween the land proprietors and the slaves. Until reconstruction occurred South Carolina never had a real popu lar government. It was so in form only. The coast counties had been set tled first and, under the parish system, organised after the manner of the Church of Eifgland. Each parish had a senator, while the Interior counties, large In area, bad only a senator each. In this way there was a one sided and unfair representation, and the city of Charleston and the territory contigu ous to it were able almost completely to dominate state affairs. The farm ing classes In the rural communities suffered, and It was alleged that pret ty nearly everything that was In the body politic was wrong. Falling in business, Mr. Tillman en tered politics to see that a few things were changed, and he organized the farmers against the "aristocrats." Eeforms He Perfected. Then began a campaign which last ed uninterrupted for almost twelve years. He ran for governor iu 1884 and was beaten. Again in 1880 be ran for governor and was beaten. In 1800 he made a third attempt and was suc cessful and was in a position to carry Into effect a number of Ideas for which he had been battling. Mr. Till man bad said that not enough atten tion was given by the state to agricul tural Interests. He asserted that the constitution was wrong and needed amendment, not only as to popular representation among the sections, but also as to the disfranchisement of the BENATOH BENJAMIN It.

Ills governess was a sister of General Chester A. Arthur, subsequently president of the United Statos. Her Instruction lasted only about three years, when young Till man was sent to the Bethlehem acad emy. Following the fighting instincts of his race, he fled from the academy when he was sixteen to join tho Con federate army. lie did not Join the arm, because he was taken 111 and during that Illness lost his eye. He negroes. He contended that taxes were not paid by the railroads and also that the sale of liquor should be regulated as a state Institution. He carried Into effect all of these reforms. But during that time the whole state of South Carolina was in a tremen dous turmoil. There never was a po litical meeting in any part of the state that the women were not in a state of terror lest their husbands should be shot down and killed. There were riots, but these were not extensive In fatality, and when Tillman had corn- had to return to the farm, take charge ! l,k'ted hls l'Wam he had provided of things for his mother, aud from the for tue Vnty system In the state time he was eighteen everything in ' for tl10 nomination of county and state connection with the Tillman estate de- i ofllclnls, he had established the Clem volved on Benjamin. j scu college for the technical education Young Tillman had a very good . of fllrillll"s' 8,ms. he bad regulated the head for business and fair executive sftle of llllr by making It a state In ability.

There never was a man who tried to manage his plantation who could get anything like the work out of his hands that Senator Tillman can. lie remained on the farm, managing it for his mother, until By that time tho acreage of tho Tillman estate had Increased from tho 4.000 or 5,000 acres that his mot her hail to 18,000 or 18,000 acres. Tillman was rumiln'j be tween thirty and forty plows when the seeding time came. Bad crops, bad times and general hard luck brought nbout a clash, ond this seems to have been tho turning point In the career of the young farm er. Ho began a campaign In fivor of the more liberal treatment of the farming class and for n change U con- I gro as a voting factor, and be had compelled the railroads to pay tholr taxes. nis fighting against the railroads was very dramatic. The railroads ap- pealed to the national authorities. The I governor ordered the attachment of rolling stock. Federal authorities ap 1 pealed against the state. At one time live sheriffs were arrested for tying up locomotives on tho tracks and locking their wheels. Iu tho dispensary fight the "Darling ton war" broke out. The governor or dered out the troops to enforce the dispensary law. The troops refused to respond, and bo called for volun teers. All of the fanners In the state milled to his support, and the dis pensary law was upheld. A dramatic Incident I hnt Is recalled by Tillman's friends occurred at Co lumbia lu 1S00 in the campaign for rovernor. Judge Haskell, a Confed (rate veteran aud au Independent can didate, asked from the platform what Tillman's record had been In the civil war. "The geutlemau knows what my rec ord would have been lu the civil war if it had not been marred by misfor tune by which 1 lost my eye. If he means to Impugn the bravery of the Tillman family in the war, I would ask Bishop Capers,' who is in the uu dlence, to come forward aud say what he knows about the lighting qualities of Jim Tillman." Bishop Capers is the Episcopal bish op at Columbia. He was one of the fighting Confederates aud happened to command the regiment in which James Tillman was a captain.' lie mounted the platform und said that while he disapproved politically of the candi date for governor ho must say that James Tillman bore "the orltlamb of his regiment." On receiving this statement from Bishop Capers, Tillman, with uu Inde scribable curl on bis lip, turned to his opponent and, pointing to the state house, said, "There Is a monument there, sir, to the memory of a braver man than ever you dared to be." Humorist of Herculean Caliber. Benjamin It. Tillman has ever been the despair of analysts. On one point, however, they are all at one he is a humorist of herculean caliber. Besides being a man of great mental capacity, he is endowed with a keen sense of the ludicrous and a talent for calling attention to various Incongruities as they happen. Wbeu he first lauded in the senate there was a disposition to take h.im seriously, but H would not do. Between Tillmau iu earnest and Tillman In jest there is a vital differ ence, and his colleagues soon learned to discriminate. One day, when the South Carolina senator was engaged In a spirited col loquy with Senator Bailey of Texas. Warren, the new senator from Wyom ing, slipped up steultliily, extracted a bottle from the pocket in the tail of Tillman's coat, uncorked it, smelledof Its contents with an appearance of In tense appreciation ami then restored it to Us original position. The senate was convulsed, but the South Caro linian wafc unconscious of the panto mime and went on with his wpeech. When he had finished a nearby sena tor explained to him the cause of the hilarity which still prevailed. Without a moment's thought Till man rose in his seat and said benign ly: "I don't want to magnify a trivial matter, but I learn that a friend has taken advantage of my preoccupation to examine a bottle which I am carry ing In my coat pocket. Now, In order that there may be no misapprehension and that I may not be considered In hospitable and perhaps selfish, I will state that the bottle contains a solu tion of boraclc acid, a throat lotion placed In my pocket by Mrs. Tillman, with the admonition to use it frequent ly. I regret deeply that the gentleman should have been disappointed In his Investigation, although I know that had. ' the bottle contained that for which ho was searching I should nev er have seen It again." How He Illustrates a Point. Tillman's readiness to illustrate a point by means of a humorous story Is well known at the copitol. One day he was discussing with some of his colleagues the efficacy of mildness In debate. "One can't be too mild," he argued. "To be mild and at the same time un expected Is usually to succeed. Here Is au Instance: At the theater the oth er night a man turned to Ms neighbor and exclaimed excitedly: "'Look here, my friend) You have sat on my silk hat, and it's ruined!' "The other looked at the hat und sighed regretfully. 'I'm uwfully sor ry, he said, 'but it might have been worse.' " 'I'd like to know howl' the injured one exclaimed lndlgnautly. "The answer was an excellent ex ample of mildness, coupled with unex pectedness. It was; " 'I might have sat on my own hat.' " One day Senator Tillman dropped Into the war department to pay a friendly visit to Secretary Tuft. "See here," said the latter, who had just begun to use spectacles. "See what you have driven mo to with your attacks on my character and motives. You have forced me to take to glass es." "Well," replied Tillman, with a glint lu his eye, "I hope that now you will be able to see the constitution." A Shakespearean Scholar. Senator Tillman Is a Shakespearean scholar, and whenever be uses a quo tation from the great master it is cor rect. Not having been In college, be never studied Greek and Latin, but be has pursued those studies independ ently since and frequently astonishes cultured men by the correctness of his quotations. Bonator Tillman's great delight out side of the senate and political life is the cultivation of flowers. At bis home In Trenton, S. O., he leaves the man agement of the farm almost entirely to others and while there superintends the cultivation of flower beds. He has myriads of theso flower beds. He studies the seasons and has flowers abloom from early spring until late In the fall. He Is a man of very Blmple life. He Is almost abstemlnous In the use of al coholic drink and utterly abhors ques tionable stories, ne swears like a trooper when the occasion spurs him to It, but that Is, so his friends say, a part of his conception of the use of the English language, lie is particu larly cnreful of his choice of words in the presence of women and never uses any phrases to offend the most dell fate sense.

As a result of the Mexican tour the finances of the firm ware greailv re duced. They managed to gut out of tne country, ana were on their way homo through Arizona when the floods took bridges away, and again the cirons met the luck that rtoc- curred so often during the year. They were compelled to lay in (Jloba, Ari zona, for thirteen days, aud after they were ublo to get away they were compolled to cancel all of tho dates and made a jump to Santa Cruz, Cal ifomia, the wiutor home.

Unable to meet thoir obligations they were forced into ba kraptcy, their property sold under the hammer, and Norris and Rowe were practically penniless.

The use of artesian wells for power purposes .is a practice growing rapidly In the Mississippi Valley, declares the February Popular Mechanics In an illustrated article. Georgia, It is slad has 400 such wells, some of which furnish power to run small mills. Artesian wells furnish -fire pressure for one Mississippi coty, also. At present there are within the corporate limits -of Savannah no less' than 50 artesian wells, and it Is doubtful if any city in the south has a more com plete or wholesome water supply. Tho water Is at present obtained from 13 wells all of which are 12 Inches in diameter. These wells vary from 475 to 700 feet in depth, and supply the city with 7,000,000 gallons of pure crystal water dally. They are located along an irregular line about 100 yards apart, the water flowing into a common aqueduct which ha3 a suffic ient grade to cary the water with con siderable current to the pumping sta tion. The sanitary effect of the artesian waters on the general health of the towns, cities, and communities where they have been used for a number of yaers is excellent, materially lessening the prevalence of chills and fevers In southern Georgia. The little city of Albany Is a fine example. It has a population of about 15,000 and is situated on the banks of the Flint river, with numerous swamps and lowlands near by. Before the com pletion of the artesian wells the drink ing water was obtained from shallow surface wells and the city was con- iux'red ono of the most unhealthy in Georgia. New Albany, with sanitary conditions furthur improved by drain age, Is considered almost a health re sort. The communities of Brunswick. Brainbridge, Leary and Fort Gains have experienced similar results. WANTED GOOD MAN IN EVERY locality good pay; experience un necessary, to represent large real estate organization. Write today. B.
