Scores Suffrage And
Lauds Unwritten Law
They’ll Get it, He Says, But
When They Do It Will Be
smirch Them More Than It
Will Purify The Game.
Washington, 1). C., Aug. 18-
Senator Tillman, showing some of
the former vigor that won for him
the sobriquet of “Pitchfork Ben,”
attacked woman suffrage in a sen
ate speech today.
“It is a beautiful dream,” staid
lie, “that female suffrage will puri
fy politics. The vital and import
ant thing for us to consider is the
effect on women themselves. We
had I letter endure the evils of cor
ruption in politics and debauchery
in our government rather than
bring about a condition which will
mar the beauty and di.n the lustre
t»i the glorious womanhood to which
ire have been accustomed all our
lives.
“We can better afiord to have
degraded and corrupt politics than
degraded and had women. To have
both in ever increasing degree, as
was the case in Rome, would make
Ihe world so unspeakably horrible,
as well as so corrupt, that good men
*nd women both would disappear
from the face of the earth and civi
lization would he blotted out like it
was in the dark ages after the fall
of Rome.
“I am so thoroughly a convert to
the belief that you cannot touch
pitch without being defiled, that I
shudder to think of the conse
quences 0,l womanhood of America
should suffrage become universal,
taking in both sexes and all races.
Yei the experiment is going to be
tried I fear.
Senator Tillman said the demand
of women for suffrage was growing
too fast to be stopped by “old
fogies” like himself and that it was
apparent ihe men of the country
would give them what they de
mand even though it be to the ulti
mate injury. ’
“JV believe women will improve
politics,” continued he, “but ulti
mately politics will destroy her as
we know her ami love her: and
when our good women are no long
er to he found and we have lost the
breed, the doom of the republic is
near.”
REFERS TO maos ANT) < AMINKTTI
Senator Tillman included in his
speech a vigorous attack uopn the
divorce evil and referred to the
Diggs-Caminetti white slave cases
in California.
“We have bad women in South
Carolina and throughout the south,”
he said, “hut the habits of our peo
ple and their customs, inherited
from our forefathers, makes it dan
gerous to ‘monkey with men’s
womankind.’
“Some northern people call us
barbarians. If the California men
had our customs, Diggs and Cami
netti would not be alive now, be
cause they would have been shot
like dogs, and the fathers of the
girls they have ruined would be ac
quitted almost without the jury
leaving the box.
“The unwritten law is the best
law to protect women’s virtue that I
know of. The more I think about the
Diggs Caminette case the more out
raged I grow at the state of morals
and society which not only permits
such crimes but encourages them.”

Be Honest Even
With The Railroad
Athens. Ga., Aug. 19. —Under
the heading, “Be honest Even with
the Railroad,” The Banner of this
city, makes the following editorial
comment regarding the contention
of the railroads that the Post Office
Department is underpaying them
for handling the mails.
“To carry the people’s mail
quickly, safely and frequently is a
social obligation which the railroads
freely concede. It is a sendee vol
untarily performed, for no law
compels a railroad company to car
ry mails unless it contracts to do so.
The courts hold, however, that if
the railroads so contract, they must
do so on terms named by the gov
ernment.
“Though surrounded by these
anomalous conditions, the railroads
have without stint placed their re
sources at the disposal of the Na
tion to develop the transportation
of mails to the highest possible state
of efficiency. This service has-been
paid for at a price fixed by the
government, a pricp from which the
carriers have had no appeal. Rail
road officials have felt, ever since
the present method of railway mail
payment was established in 1873,
that this compensation was unjust
ly low.
“This opinion is still held by ex
perienced railroad officers through
out the country, but with even
greater firmness and earnestness, on
account of the increasing costs of
railroad operation combined with
frequent heavy reductions in rail
way pay made by the government.
“The United States government,
in 1912, paid tin* railways 501,697,
374.49 for carrying mail. This
\v:b bout 20.90 per cent of all pos
til r‘v 'lines. In 1901 the railways
received 34 per cent of the postal
revenues. In the same year, 1901,
the ‘Joint Committee to Investigate
the Postal Service,’ of which Sena
tor Wilcott vas chairman, reported
to Congress its opinion that ‘the
price now paid to the railroads for
the transportation of the mails are
not excessive.’ Yet, in 1907, con
gress reduced railway mail pay by
.$2,723,000, about five per cent,
and the postmaster general, upon
1 1 is own initiative, by administra
tion order, made a further reduc
tion of nearly $5,000,(XX), about
ten per cent; an aggregate reduc
tion of $7,700,000 per anum, or fif
teen per cent.
“The railroads maintain that at
present they are underpaid by at
least $15,000,000 per year.
“The complaint of the railways
is not against the standard of meas
uring such mail service as is paid
for, hut that a very large amount of
service is demanded for which the
nation makes no payment what

Elopers Are Married
At Eastman Stable
Eastman, Aug. 18. —Oscar Bul
lington and Miss Annie Belflower
drove into Eastman the other day,
and as the young man looked embar
ra:s:d, inquiries developed that he
had stolen a bride.
Bart Harrell offered his services
in finding some one to perform the
ceremony, finding Judge C. B. Bur
rell, who responded gladly. The
marriage was soon over in the
offices of W. B. Daniel’s livery
stables, with only Mr. Harrell and
J. W, Peacock as witnesses.
Mr. Buffington is a young farmer
living on J. D. Humphreys’ place
in this county. He had secured

Thaw Is Captured
On Canadian Side
His Wild Flight From Asyl um I
Comes to an End—lnsists
That Authorities Have No
Right to Hold Him.
Albany, X. Y., Aug. 10. —New
York state authorities may make no
attempt to have Harry K. Thaw
extradited from Canada. It was
stated today that under a Canadian
law an insane person may be de
ported as an undesirable citizen and
a representative of the attorney
general may be sent to Canada to
endeavor to bring about Thaw’s re
turn to this state without tire form
ality of extradition proceedings.
The Currency Bill
It seems that the currency bill
which is so necessary for the finan
cial welfare of all the people -is
hanging fire in the senate. Presi
dent Wilson has made every effort
possible to have this measure acted
upon this session, and it is to be
hoped yet, that it will be done.
The passage of the tariff bill re
inforced by proper currency reform
would place the democratic party
in full confidence of the people, in
sure prosperity to the country at
large, and place the money power
where it will be unable to control
the finances of the Republic.
