L Gantt, editor the Piedmont "Headlight," he on succeeded in giving certain polit cians and newspapers a subject quote from when they endeavor, I insinuation, to besmear the charact of Senator Tillman. Gantt, in h: interviews and in his editorials, mad broad hints at Tillman's dishonest He almost said that '[illman receive rebates through the Dispensary, bi with his usual shrewdness he left hole to crawl out at, whenever th falsity of his charges were made a] parent. Gantt has certainly endeas ored to injure the Dispensary syster and the question in our mind is, di he dlo this with any mercen ary m< tive? No one will ever accuse Gan of being a fool, but on the contrar: he is one of the "slickest ducks"i the State. If McLaurin's estimat of him is correct, who knows ho much he received from the opponen1 of the Dispensary for all the rack< he kicked up. His cry for an inves tigation from "Hell to Holland" wit the "opponents of the Dispensary" t sit as judges, may sound to son: people as an honest wish for a tho: ough investigation, but to us it dot not. There should be a thorough invel tigation and the committee should I made up of friends of the law-me whose characters are above reproac and who have no political aspir: tions ; they should be well know~ business men, and they should be en powered to force witnesses to testif: Gantt may paw the earth and 1 may fill the air with his exclamation of ~"my hands ai-e clean" and wit his insinuations against others; bu before he will be able to make muc of an impression, he will have to gis a better explanation of his own cor duct than he has so far. B. R. T., not "Beckroge's robbe trunk," but B. R. Tillman, you stoo up in the United States Senate chan her and demanded an investigatic of certain charges made by new; paper correspondents against Sen tors. You did right. We hope a investigation will be made; but home a newspaper editor and a ma who has professed to be your frien< within the last few days made seriot charges against you. What will yo do about it? 'Tis true, yot former colleague said that "Larry ca out-lie them all," but in the light< recent events, we do not think yo will be doing yourself nor your ad mirers justice by disregarding tI: charges made against you, even by man with Giantt's reputation. Senator Tillman, if you value th confidence reposed in you by thoi sands of honest men, [obtain a leas of absence from Washington an join in the effort to show to the pet ple tbeir confidence in you has nc been misdirected. Come home an crush out forever the slanders thi have been breathed against you.] will not do to "consider the source. Charges have been made, and yo must refute them and then helpt expose all of the rottenness, whethe it is stealing, bribery or conspiracy. Not a few people think that ther are men not directly connected wit the Dispensary, who are manipulat ing this great big scandal for a pol tical purpose. We well remembe how one of our R5eform leaders in thc last campaign was defeated and thc same tactics are being again resorte to for the crushing out of somebod else. The people feel that they wer buncoed in the last primary and the do not want to make any more mis takes, it is therefore necessary the we hear from you with no uncertai sound; we beseech you not to liste to the advice that was given to Joh Gary Evans "pay no attention, thc people are not taking any stock your enemies' charges," they did tak stock to such an extent that he wa D.

August Kohn, ti able Columbia correspondent il tdulges in a lot of speculation wit regard to the difficulty in runnir down bribery in the Dispensar etransactions. He illustiates by sul posing very ingeniously,' transactic between "The Make Mone'y Distillir: ~Company" and "M1r. B.oodle." -member of the State Board of Contro in this illustration he shows that is almost impossible to catch a mc who has made up his mind to be -rascal; then he goes on to speak< sthe various rumors afloat. We agr4 with this correspondent, if a memb< -of the Board is bribed with cash, ewill be hard to find it out, but if v are to take rumors as a starting has hit would be a good idea to find or whether there is any truth in the r port of an official, an ex-official an -others being gengaged in a gaix .of poker with a representative of eliquor house, and in that game seve: sal hundred dollars wvas won by tb official, ex-official and others; tb report says, the liquor ma man was DaN for, to a considerab] sum, but he was consoled with heav -orders from the board. If this r< port be true it strikes us as a shrew; iway of receiving bribes. Then ai other report is, a man once connecte -with the Dispensary, and whot b< nfore his connection with the institt ~.tion wats very poor, has since bee able to go to at least one of the C< lumbia banks and have a lot of 01 thundred dollar bills changed ft smaller ones. Of course, if a ma ,has large bills he has a right to ha' isthem changed for smaller ones, hi uin these hard times when a man irfinances aie about as well knowvn t nthe public as to himself and it known that before he held a certai position he could not handle $10 - bills, but does now, it at lea. emakes curious people suspicious an athey wonder where, and how did 1 make the raise? Especially so, whe ethe whole country has been stirre ~-up with all manner of charges< corruption in connection with tl Dispensary management. If whiskey drummer sat down and a alowed a party having a "pull" wit dthe purchasing power of the Boar tt o win a lot of money, he did it pu posely and with the intention to bu 'the services of the men with Ul u"pull," and if such things have o< urred they should he, together wit rthe names of the parties exposed.. a former or a present attashe of th Dispensary is found out to be band hling an unusually large amount< money, we think under existing coi ditions. the authorities could with a rpropriety make inquiries into tl esource from which it came.

C. , The Greenville "News" has jumped upon the lecture platform and with - out leave, cause, or provocation as ), far as we are concerned, proceeds to st read certain Reform newspapers a r'lecture on journalistic good manners. al THE TniEms is among the number that - has fallen under the "New's" dis it pleasure. Just when we gave cause >t for such an outburst of scolding we ecan not recall, and why we should be ig classed among those that gave per sonal offense we do not know. Cer -tainly the "News" cannot complain e1 of us on this score, as we make it a s rule never to hit unless hit at first. - There is no such thing as turning e the other cheek and if striking back is to leave us out of the category of "Reform papers which are edited by .* gentlemen," we can only say that we agree with' the "News" when it says. -"A jackass cannot edit a newspaper eforcibly," and we congratulate the t"News" on the discovery of the lack h of force in its editorials. vThe Charleston "Sun" spoke of Captain D. J. Bradham as a Guber n natorial possibility, and other news gpapers are speaking of our dis A. tinguished fellow-citizen for other ; high positions. As far as his being a t Gubernatorial possibility is con nceined, wve are sure he would not a think of allowing his name used in >that connection against Governor eEllerbe, who is doing his duty wit rout fear or favor, and we feel certain tthat a second term will be given him e without any material opposition. sCaptain Bradham would fill any tposition with credit, and we would like very much to see him occupying da place on the State ticket as Secre e tarv of State. Presid~ent E. H. Aull, of the State e Press Association, deserves the hearty e applreciation of every member for the nmost excellent trip he has succeeded e in arrauging. The nencilpuhr w ~ill have an opportunity that only comes once in a life time of attending a great exhibition and traveling through a country made up of beauti ful landscapes. Nothing has been overlooked that would inure to the plasure of the crat~, and besides the picturesque scenery, historical inci dents will be pointed out all along e the route. Every newspaper man rin the State should take advantage of it and the more will be the merrier. Senator Tillman has wiitten a let ster to Governor Ellerbe with refer ence to the Dispensary scandal and Agricultural Hall case and for some reason- the Governor declines to give t the letter out for publication,although the Senator wrote it for publication. We do not know what the letter says, ebut we believe it is a document which will send cold chills down the backs of some people in thbis State. We. will not criticize Governor Ellerbe's action in withholding the letter from -the public, and will assume for the present, that it is for some wise pur pose.___ W henever Senator Tillman rises in the"American House of Lords" great eis the disappointment if he sits down wi~thout making it uncomfortable for some of the members. A few days ago be rose and dlemanded an inves tgation of certain charges made against Senators, who it is alleged, hav'e been speculating in Sugar. Till-1 mann's iemarks were not at all rel ised, especially by the Sugar Spec u ating Senators.

Davis, a prominent liveryman ind merchant of Goshen, Va., has this to zay on the subject of rheumatism: "I take pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism, as I know from personal exoerience that it will do all that is claimed for it. A year ago this spring my brother was laid up in bed with inflam matory rheumatism and suffered intensely. The first application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm eased the pain and the use of one bottle completely cured him. For sale by R. B. Loryea, the druggist. Samps Pope's Diary. [Revihed from the Washington Post.] March 2-Just arrived. Washing ton a nice town. Wonder if it wouldn't be as well to stay here as to go abroad? March 4-Saw Major McKinley inaugurated. We folks who nomi nated him will be all right now. 1 Think I had better take an assistant i secretaryship. The administration i wants good men who know some- i thing about politics. Besides I am i getting to like Washington. March S-Big crowd at the White House. They ought to give the President time to settle himself. Have sold my excursion ticket and will stay awhile. Too many people make a hotel uncomfortable. Have found a good boarding house. March 11-Shook hands with the President in the East Room and told him I would call on a matter of busi ness in a few days. He seemed pleased. March 15-Went to the Capitol and found G. W. Murry. He was sour. Said the whole State was here chasing him. Asked me what I wanted and said "Better go for some thing in reach." Maybe an auditor ship would be the thing. March 23-Took my papers to the White House to-day. Thought I'd wait and have a private talk with i the President, but Secretary Porter < said I'd have to go .along with the t rest. What an ill-mannered set they were. Elbowed me right along just because they saw the President wanted to talk with me. Will have to go backand finish our conversa tion. March 27-Got some more money from Newberrv. March 29-Went to the White House, but the chap at Porter's door wouldn't let me in. Said it was after hours. He ought to be fired. April 3-Saw Mark Hanna after waiting five hours. Asked him why my letter had not been answered. He said he was getting 400 a day and his secretary wvould catch up some time next year. I always thought Hanna was overestimated. Now I know it. April 5-Had an interview with the President. Was last in line so they couldnt push me along. When 1 told him of my services to the party he replied, "Oh, yes," and for me to file my papers in the State Depart-i ment. Said he had many good< friends in Indiana and hoped they would be ipatient. Can he hlave for gotten that I am not from Indiana? Probably the tariff is worrying him. Shameful the way the Senate is act ing. April 7-Borrowved a little more money. Washington is an expensive town to live in. April 11-Murry says all the audi torships were mortgaged before the election, but he will endorse me for a special agency or a chief clerkship if I can find one that isn't under the eivil service law, or a deputy mar shallship. April 12-D-n the civil service law.t April 17-Didn't know there were so many good positions abroad. Ought to have gone for one of them in the first place. The State Depart ment list is a great thing. Th ink ['ll start with Antwerp and check off a few which will suit me. Wonder where I can negotiate a small loan? April 19-Got to see the President and told him I could best serve thee administration and the party abroad, eC He said, "Oh, yes," and to file my papers in the Post-office Department, t and he hoped his friends in Massa-r ?husetts would be patient. Whatc tuade him think I was from Massa :husetts? I suppose he gets mixedc sometimes. April 20-Murry says there is one 3hance in a million of getting a con-e sulate, but if I will concentrate on I Liberia he and the delegation will do I what they can. Salary, $500. Fees, $87. C April 21-Have concentrated on Li beria. Giot in the line to-day just for a moment to tell the President it would suit me. He said, "Oh, yes," and to file my paper in the Treasury Department, and he hoped his riends in Minnesota would be patient till he could get around to them. Queer he should think I wast from Minnesota. April 27--The ingratitude of thatc man McKinley! He has nominated Jones, a nigger, for consul to Liberiat when he knew I had concentrated ont it. After my services to the party, too. Who is Jones, anyhow? April 57-I am going home. Murryc bas got ma~ a pass. Will send for my trunk later. I tremble for the future I >f this administration.

Sayvs There Ar-e No Hard Timnes. c Editor MaNmiso Tnn-:s: In your issue of May 5, there is a clip ping from the "Silver Knight-Watchman" leahng with hard times for families, and says "we appeal to every famiiy in which .here are sons and dagtr oinquire :he reason why there are not as good 01) ortunities for the young people to marry md live in comfortable hiomes as there were vben the old people were young," and says i herec must be some reason for it and fur her says: "-Is it because the young peo-f le have become wortbi-ss or is it because -s are harder than they were?' In aown-r 1 will say, truthfully, neithera s the cause.

One hundret ears ago nearly the entire population wa gricultural. We had no large cities an nany of our villages had but half a dozei 'amilies in them. If times haven't im )roved, how did they build those cities n former days most of the people lived ii og houses; they made what they consumed hey bought nothing that could be raised a iome; the ladies planted their one-fourti r one-half acre in cotton, c'iltivated it icked it, then picked the seed out wit] heir fingers, cardel it, spun it, wove i nto cloth, cut and made the garments he husbands and brothers at night takinj t gourd and cutting out the buttons ant he mothers and sisters covering them !ven shirt buttons were made. Thei ought nothing for the reason that the, ad nothing to buy with. The whol amily dressed in clothing of their ow: nake and the ladies went to church witt un bonnets on and looked as pretty an( weet as if they had $10 hats pinned or he tops of their heads that give no pro ection to their fair complexions. If time. re hard, it's their own fault, as we have he same lands, equally is good seasons ud from increased knowledge, mora cai )e raised on the same lands than formerly I have personally known men wh< >wned no land, go on another man's land, yuild a comfortable cabin for his family .ear ten acres and fence it for what b uade on it and $30 and rvjde a good, com ortable living. But now, things have changed. Not th imes, but the people. What would b bought of a lady who went into churci ith a sun bonnet on? No one woul ;peak to her-not even the minister-o; it in the same pew. Go into any littl< pillage or railroad station and you will set lot of cla and young men holding dowr he steps of the store and depot talkine iard times and they are the last who should ,alk it, as they usually have on gooc lothes and look fat and in good health nd not earning a dollar. I don't knon who feeds and clothes them, and if times were hard they would have to go to work Lnd earn them. There are a class of men who are alwayE ibusing the nan of wealth. You madt .im so; if you didn't borrow his money, il vould become valueless. You abuse th( nanufacturer; if you didn't buy his goods, xe would have to shut down. You need iot do it, for it was not done in those goo ld times you tell of. I, f6r ce, like th< )resent. In the good old times, if a mar raveled, he went on horse back, miaking hirty cr thirty-five miles a day. Now, i ie doesn't make as many miles an hour, he 'cusses" out the railroad company and rants their charter taken from them. It ie took his family, they went in a wagon, amping out, the only expense being ferri Lge over rivers. Now, he wants a vestibule rain at fifty miles an hour, nothing less, Talk about bard times, I can now find ome families who statrted in life thirty rears ago with a little ox to plow, and not iave a good home and a few thousand laid sy. I can show some colored families, as is well known how they were left, nov >wn their homes, have them all paid foi md riding in their buggies behind goodn nules. To hear intellinent men talkin1 'hard times" is ridiculous! Now,young man, get you a small piece o0 a d, buildyou a on e-room cabin, get you ice little wife-the country is full of theu: -take her home, go to work. Never lool ack, but keep your eyes on the top run; f the ladder and you will soon becom >e of the happiest of men and you wil ave no cause to cry hard times.

Goon Trus. DON'T PRT 1'IT. ome Timely Remarks on an Oft-te peatedi lequest, The city editor of a newspaper nearl: very day is importuned to leave this piect f news or that piece of news out of the pa icr, and duty to the public, as well as tc is paper, often requires him to refuse suela equests, while personally he might like tc omply with them. The Augusta "Chronicle" has an editorial n this subject which covers the whole ;round so well that it is here reproduced "'he request to leave out news that con es us or our friends is as natural, per taps, as the desire to have all the news rinted about other folks for our entertain ent and information. If it is about r.t r ours, leave it out; if it is about the other allow, print it, seems to be the natural im >lse of the human mind, and we alwayt eel : we are making an entirely reason h request when we ask the suppression f an item that concerns us, even though tbe an entirely legitimate matter of news, nd one which we would expect to see in he papers if it concerned anybody else. "But such requests are very embarrassing o the newspaper man. There is not an nforunate man or woman, who inot an utast, but has friends ready to intereede or the suppression of news concerning~ em, and if the newspapers should acceden o all such requests the result would he ha't only about outcasts could a newspaper ublish anything except of a eulogistic haracter. "When it comes to eulogy and fiattery, owever on deserved and extravagant, we ,re willing to see that in print; and it is stonishing to see how much it takes to atisfy us. As long as it is sunshine wcn vll say publish by all means, but when hadow comes our way; when we violate vw; when the aspect in which we will tap >ear before the public is not comipli entary, then at once we say: 'Ksep i ut of the papers.' "This is humain nature. Bat should a ewspaper publisher accede to the re. 1uest? Is he dealing fairly with those whc ay for the news? These are questions hat persons who requiest the suppression f legitimate news items should consider. ud here comes up the question, what is ews? Here is an answer to the question bat was made by a newspaper man, ant thich is regarde-d as meritorious: "News is anything that the general pub. ought to know.' "'News consists of events that are either ery usual or very unusual.' News is the daily record of the human sce put into convenient formi for the pub 'News is the panorama of the world very twenty-four hours in embryo.' -News i.s whatever the public will reatd d pay for.'
