BEN TILLMAN TALKS
'TO AUGUSTA REPORTER
Mopes Mannaing is to Win and Ready to
Bet that Way. Believes President
Has Strengthened Self.
Tugusta, Sept. 2.-United States
Senator 13. It. 'I'illiman ran over to Au
gusta yesterday from 'i'renton to trains
act pressing 1irivate business and re
tirned to his home during the after
noon. Ie was the guest of .\lr. HI C.
Morrison while in the city.
"Strike?" Why you newspaper boy.
ought to know more about the strike
outlook than I. Tlil ine what is going
on today, anyhow."
He was liiformed of the stbstance
of the press ditpatches. "Well, they
had, as you know, not gotten into the
legislative attempt at handling the
matter up to the tine that I left Wash
ingon. 1, of course, can not forecast
th outcome any more than can you
newspaper men. President Wilson has
worked faithfully on the coli)lcx prob
len. le has found both sides unrea
sonable-the managers more so than
the men. It is a big question and a
hard one to handle. All that I can
say Is that, like you young men, I hope
that a strike will not come on."
"Senator," lie was asked, "who is
going to wini the governorship over
in your state?"
"Manning, I hope."
"Do you believe that he is going to
beat Mr. Blease?"
"Well, dts I said. I hope he will. At
any rate I have a little money that I
will put on the results, and I am not a
betting man, as you know."
"No doubt about Mr. Wilson's elec
tion, is there, senator?"
"There is always the element of
doubt in a presidential election. To
my mind, everytshing at this time in
dicates the success of the democrats.
ly information is, and my inference
is, that the presiddnt's activity and
course in the strike matter has great
ly strengthened in among Lhe work
ing men. I believe that he will defeat
Mr. Hughes."
"How are the crops over on the
farm, senator?"
"Corn is fine. Cotton is not so much.
But," he i'dded with a chuckle, "that
cotton price has gotten to be fine,
hasn't it? The cotton price will make
up where the cotton crop falls short."
Senator Tillman was informed by re
porters that the eastern papers were
still commenting favorably on his
"farwell" speech in the senate, when
lie announced the burial of the "pitch
fork," and rebuked Mr. Hughes for his
"South in the saddle' utterances.
lie said that lie, also ,had heard
many coimmenits from the East on the
address, and lie was pleased that it
had been accepted in the spirit that it
was amde.
This address, by the by, made in the
senate August 19th, just a few hours
before Senator Tillian took the train
for the Fouth, has been given more at
tention probably, than any speech ever
made by Mr. Tillman in the "Ameri
can huse of lords," Th Chr'onicle
last Sunday, printed it in full.
The Washington correspondents say
of it that it brought "tears in the sen
ate, the expression of emotion that
Comles from the heart"--somthing one
i'arely seen in the upper house of con
gress,
"That (lay," as oine of the best known
of the Washington correspondents has
iput it, in writing to his paper, "in the
center aisle of the senate, stood a mian
whose name in American history will
be linked some day with Calhoun, oi'
Sumner', or hfayne, as the fiei'y symblol
or milliancy--Hen Tiliman, of South
Carolina, the "Pitchfork flen" of other
days, when the vigor of life coursed
through his veins."
"it "'as dioubtless as unique a spmeech
as has been heard in congress sinice
the Civil WVar was fought," says this
correspond~eint, adding: "Hen Tillman

qtuietly his hands trembling as lhe lift-,

THE PAS$INO OF

There is no more of the famous
Al len clan around Miount Alry now.
No' In Carroll cotunty or amid the
Ilountain wilds where strong men
doilillated the communIties by their
rel)utItios and boldness. With the
death or .lack Allen, the last of the
great Allen leaders of (he mountain
country passed away. Not that they
are all dead and forgotten, for they
will be remembered 'round about
Mount Airy and Carroll county, Vir
ginIa, and talked about for genera
tions.
Jack Allen, shot by George Mc
Craw, who claimed self-defense, was
a brother of Floyd and Sidna Allen
and lived six miles from Mount AIry,
N. C., over the Virginia line, half a
mile or more. ".lack" was a big man
pyiymIcal i v and had'his friends-plenty
of them, as well as scores of admir
ers anwong the younger men of the
iounta!n country who looked upon
him alwavs as a sort of generally con
ceded "leader." -Jack was a crack
shot and a fearless rider. Like others
of his clan lie never knew the mean
Ing of the word fear, and the men
of the mountain country knew better
than to cross pur'poses with Jack, be
cause his ire once arotised, was an
IrresIstible force.
The mountain country back of
Mount Airy and way up in the Car
roll county section must be son to
be apprecia toil. There are no illu
sons al:out it. It's a su re-enough

Into anything lie sees fit, especially if
he raised that corn and owns it.
As an old mountalneer reiarked,
inreferring to the subject matter as
to why lie made corn whiskey out of
his crop instead of "toting" it to town
and selling it. "Well," said he, "I
live up thar back in them hills, 30
miles 'or mnore from town. There
beant no roads wutli considerin' and
what's more It id take ine a day or
more for my mules ter drag a load of
corn ter market. Maybe I'd git .10
cents a bushel fer it when I got thar,
and some of it I'd have ter keep ter
feed critters with goin' en coming'.
But I kin do this son. I kin take my
corn, what I growed myself on my
bottom lands and clear spaces and
convert it unto corn mash en whiskey
and maybe I kin git three dollars a
gallon for' it, en cai'ry quIte a tolor

Trhe passiing of thme Allens has been
