The ending of the feud between these two men, who have long been prominent in this state, will recall to many of the older voters the early days of the Tillman movement, when the rugged Edgefield farmer was as sisted by John L. McLaurin, John Gary Evans and the other lieutenants of the reform movement which con tained some of the brainiest men of South Carolina. Capt. Tillman went into the governor’s chair, and from there to the United States senate. Mr. McLaurin served in the legislature, then as attorney general, went to congress and succeeded Joseph II. Earle in the United States senate, be coming the colleague of his political leader, B. R. Tillman. But the bond between the two wa» strained, and finally was entirely sev ered when Senator McLaurin follow ed what was called “Commercial De mocracy” and voted for the ratifica tion of the treaty of peace with Spain. How the two former friends finally clinched on the floor of the United States senate, thus becoming a national episode is recalled in South Carolina.
