IN GLASS ALON ADDED TO DQCKE Seven Months Past Has Been a Period of Experience for Congressman from This District. FIGHTS IN LAST DITCH FOR HIS POLITICAL LIFE W It Luther Be Allowed to Keep the Biitnore Postoffice ? If not, It Will Be About All Over. "John tentative G. Grant, republican repre in congress from the Tenth Ninth Carolina district, Is here from th national capital." That wim the ttret sentence of a Hi'i-y printed in The Gazette-News of In?"' :6. 1909. relHtive to Mr. Grant nml his t roubles In the district. It was the lirst Ihtlmutlon, In fact, th.it Mr. Grunt was having trouble with u l i; riliii t ion of federul patronage. ,sul-r,in lit event have proved that Hi. story was almost if not quite pro phetic liming the seven months' period from Unit ilnte until the present Mr. (hunt linn bud probably more trouble !in I timre worry with his distribution oi paiinc.igc uuu nis political iences th;i it nny other member of the na- i 1 1 1 i i ; 1 1 congress. In the course of that I story June 2b the sUttemeuls were made th.it .Mr. Grant was here osten sibly to meet his daughter, but thru really he was here to look after his iKiliticnl fences. Further, It was stat ed thitt one oi Mr. Grant's chief trou bles hntl to do with the postnfflco "liuibhle" at Saluda; that "it Is huIi! that Mr. Grant has written a letter relative to this matter and Inciden tally bus sought to coerce 11 postotlic Instsx'tor In aid or the removal of the postmewter nt Saluda"; also that the Mlltinorc poulofllce matter was giving Air. Grant trouble; that "It Is believed hers that Mrs. Reed Is not to receive s reappointment, although many of the hint cttlsens of Dlltmore and that section supplied have endorsed In strong terms Mrs. Heed's efficiency." History Hcix-ats HsHf. Ml that occurred more than seven months ago. Mr. Grunt Is again in Ashcvtlle. The Dlltmore postotllce mat ter is largely to the front In matters political; the Saluda posiohicu affair and the alleged attempt to coerce u postotttce Inspector is likewise to the front. It was stated also In that story of June 26 that Mr. Grant "does not appear so calm anil self-satlHlled us lie did prior to taking a seat In the iiittlonul congress. It may be that the weather is having its effect on th" genial representative and again It may in that affairs political are worrying tin 'statesman.'" Mr. Grant, It is repealed. Is again In Ashevllle. He ciime Saturday afternoon on a Hying trip to "leave again Sunday after noon." lie did not leave, however, lie Is still here. At least, he was this morning. He does not appear even as "calm and self-satisfied'' now as he did in June and the weather Is not to blunie either. Mr. Grant Is having his troubles. He is having a-plenty of them. While It Is alleged that he came here on account of the Illness of Ills son those who are wise to the sit uation say that he la here on an "ther matter. There are rive posternce Inspector!, here on "special work" and It Is known that the Hiltmore postorNce affair Is under Investigation' thin it Is a mutter of "lire Jhnd ilerth" politically to Mr. Grunt: hut If Mr. Grant should lose In the "gut It would mean his political "fun eral"; and, further, that the old 8a hida pontnltire "squabble" which Th J (i.irette-News ' reterred to several months ago. Is also under Investiga tion. In fact, there are two postotllce Inspectors or secret ervic men here on the Hiltmore matter and three with referent to th alleged attempt to "coerce, a postotllce Inspector." Inci dentally llrownlow Jackson of Hen dersonvllle, the postmaster at that place, who was the bearer of that al leged "coercive letter," was In town yesterday, leaving during th after noon for his boms, , A Fight In Ihe Last Ditch. That Is the situation. Mr. Grant Is making a right In the last ditch for hU political life. In tho event that the postmaster general or the presi dent should turndown Mr. Orant's man Luther as postmaster at Hiltmore and reappoint Mrs. Reed to the place, such action would be-tantamount to a declaration that neither the president nor his chief lieutenant, Mr. Hitch cock, believed the aitidavlt that Mr. Grant made about Mrs. Reed at tempting to bribe htm for the reten tion of the office! tha removal was made on the strength of the Orant af fidavit and Luther appointed a recess appointment. Now, should that affi davit not hold water and should Mrs. Heed be given her place again Mr. Grant would And himself In the posi tion of a man and not only that but a representative In congress who had made a sworn statement and that statement was not believed. What will be the result? Mr. Orant la hopeful and so are his friends. But the friends of Mrs. Reed are more than hopeful. Ther are confident that Mr. Grant has played his trump card and that he has lost. In the meantime Mr, Grant and Postmaster W. W. Rollins, who Is seeking a reappointment for tne fourth time as postmaster at Continued on p i,'hlr Columbia. Jan. :!l Senator 1". unman anil his mm, !;. K. Tillman, jr. were present when the case of Mrs. II. It. Tillman, jr., against nenntor Till man and wile for the custody of the two children of young Mrs. Tillman was taken up by the Supreme court today. Young Mrs. Tillman was also in court. Senator and .Mrs. Tillman rest their case entirely on (he statute law of South Carolina, which em power." a father or mother to dispose of a chilli by deed in certain cases. Under this act their son deeded the children to Senator and Mrs. Tillman. No effort has been made to assail the character of voting Mrs. Tillman, but in his affidavit Senator Tillman sayp it Is probable the young wife would go t another state to get a divorce and re-marry, in which case the children would be placed under a step-father. "Thank God." said the senator, "there is no such thing as divorce in South Carolina." MUCH IMPROVED The Texas Senator III at Atlantic City, Has no Notion of Resigning His Seat.
