ALL DOUBT SET AT REST Senator THIman In the Race Certain. GIVES INTERVIEW TO AUGUSTA PAPER Declares in Kmphutic Language Unit He will be In (he Kuce and that He will be Heady In Meet AII-Comers. Hands oil' in Jones-Blouse Knee for Governorship. (By J. L. McWortor In Augusta Chron icle.) "I will be a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate if 1 am alive and not In artleulo mortis. Yes, by Ood, I believe if 1 am dead I'll let 'em vote for me a little anyhow." In this emphatic language Senator Ilenjnmin Ryan Till man sets forever nt rest the cherished hopes of some, and the doubts of others, as to whether lie will be in the United States Sen atorial race next year. Actlro on the Farm. At his fnrni near Trenton yesterday. Senator Tlllman "talked the matter over," with a stulff representative of The Chronicle, and In language more or less, Tlllmanessue, as the various phases demanded, stated that he be lieved he would be elected again with out trouble. "It has been said often, that I could sit on my back porch and be re-elect ed," said he. "I don't know why they always mention my back porch for the front porch is much more cheerful and I use it the more, but I suppose they mean to imply that I need not oven show myself in the campaign and that my friends in South Carolina will see that I go back, If I want to." Senator Tlllman was busy on his farm but he took time to say that much. To those who are familiar with the oft repeated statements as to his fail ing health it may come as a surprise | to know that he sleeps well, oats heart lly, gives the whole farm his personal supervision by walking and riding ov er It every day, in fact many times a day, dictates his private and otllclal letters to his secretary, and that his mind Is as clear as a bei, and his old time fire of speech and manner blazes out at opportune times. The only real reminder of his past affliction Is the cane he carries?and he sometimes forgets that and gets along seemingly as well as with It. Heath the Only Bar. Barring death, he will be in the race, and he will make speeches too. and he says he doesn't care who or how many enter the Held. Any one has a right to offer who wishes to. Entirely Hands Off. "Senntor it has been more than hinted by some that you are encour aging, and will hack Governor Bleaso for re-election as governor, next sum mer. The Chronicle wants to know directly from you. If you will give It, bow much truth there is in these bints and rumors?" was the direct question asked Senator Tlllman by the repre sentative of The Chronicle. "I am not going to help a damn soul in that race I am going to be strict ly hands-off and neutral, and further more I have not given any one any authority to say that I was for or against either of the candidates who have announced, I am not going to mix In it or have anything to do with It." The Senator's attention was called to the story in yesterday morning's Chronicle, written by Col. Leon Qreen, a former newspaper man In South Carolina, in which it was stat ed that Senator Tlllman would be a factor in the race ami he said that he did not see much in the story, but that it was "probably written to draw inc out." lie said that he did not know who Inspired the story, but so far as the references to his being a factor was concerned ho could only repeat what he had just said: That he was "not going to bo mixed up in it." Senator Tlllman, from his talk, is evidently of tho opinion that neither Governor Bleaso nor .Mr. Justice Jones will win in a walk over tho other. To an observer of tho post record, and the current trend of happenings, so far the situation appears to be thus as to tho relative chances of the two announced candidates for tho gov ernorship: Governor Bloase, from reports has evidently made fi lends by some of bis recent speeches, notably the ones" at Ware Shoals and Orangeburg. There was a largo number who voted for him In tho second race. This administra tion, so far, to say the least, has been veryorrntlc, and ho has certainly lost ^ thereby many of his original support ers. -Now, has be gained more now vkli'iul'- (ban he has lost old one... and ^04be course he is pursuing as chief l^j^ytue losing him the support of , t. re counted by him as j Blease men? Mr. Justice Jones, on | the other hand, should rightfully lay claim at the start to at least as much of the old Tlllman vote as his oppo nent, for he was elected by a Tlllman legislature) at a time when Tlllman ism was all powerful In the State. He represents the opposite to all that the present governor represents, ex cept as to his pronounced views on the liquor question. Ho lnys down the most dignified end honored position in the slate to uphold what the state formerly stood for through its chief executive. As a campaigner ho is al most an unknown equation. But he has entered the race with the deter mination of winning. The elimination of Senator Tlllman by his emphatic utterances yesterday, has cleared the decks for action. Tlllman will doubt less succeed himself. Blouse cannot escape the race for re-election, and he and Jones must light it out. This now becomes plain.

Certainly the lack of educational ad vantages will not make men and wom en. Because the little log schoolbouse with the slab benches and two-by-four blackboard has turned out strong men and no ble women, it does not follow that they would not have been oven stlonger and nobler and have had greater Influence for good if they had had better advantages In their youth. Because your hero, perhaps, learned his letters for himself by a lllckering lire of ligbtwood knots and got most of his learning in the "School of Hard Knocks," it does not follow that there is no better way of train ing men. All the evidence agrees that the more of opportunity, the more of culture, there can bo put In to the life of boy or girl, the better will bo his or her chances of devel oping into the worthiest and most useful type of manhood or woman hood. AVe believe, with Elbert Hub bard, that It is a good thing for a boy to have had the privilege of warming his feet cold mornings on the ground where the cows lay the night before; but we also believe that It Is good for him to have had the privilege of going to a schoolbouse made neat and bright and cheerful without and within, and of advancing from that schoolbouse to higher institutions of learning where he can breathe the air of academic inspiration, absorb the traditions and ideals of his col lege, and acquire all that it can give of learning ond culture and breadth Of thought.?The Progressive Farmer.
