Interesting Political Gossip About Senatorial Situation. The question of the retirement of Senator Tillman from the United States senate is always an interesting one in South Carolina. There are many rumors going the rounds of the State as to what course the senior senator will pursue and the general impression is that he will retire in 1912. Notwithstanding the deductions by those who Jiave studied the situation the senior senator has been quoted as p. saying that he will die in harness. r-5 -\ \ That he will retire is based on his physical condition. It is said on gooa authority that Senator Tillman is not strong enough to make the fight and it now seems as if there were going to be a contest for the seat. The latest political gossip is to the effect that Col. W. Jasper Talbert, former congressman for the Second Congressional district, and former superintendent of the State peniten* tiary, has positively asserted his intention of offering for the United States senate to succeed Senator Till\man.' It was stated here to-day by a well known traveling man that Colonel Talbert will offer his services to the State regardless of the action of Seriktor Tillman. He was well known in South Carolina in bygone days. He has for the past several years lived at his home at Parksville, in Edgefield county, and has been entirely out of politics. There are many pebple in South " 11 + V. o i v. oar. Uai'UilUCl WUU WUU1U UUC1 luvii OV1 vices in the senate provided Senator Tillman decided to retire, yet few have intimated that they would oppose the Ihndidacy of the Edgefield man. The last boom launched in the State for the senate was for John E. Swearingen, of Edgefield and super intendent of education. He sidestepped the issue and announced that he did not want the job. He is a nephew ?, of Senator Tillman. He has also been mentioned for governor. However, he seems to be content with the .J office of State superintendent of edu, cation. He will very likely be a candidate for his present office. There are many people in south Carolina who favor R. Goodwin Rhett, former mayor of Charleston, for the senate. He is an able man and his greatest drawback would be his residence in Charleston. He may develop much strength. No definite conclusion can be drawn as to the candidacy of Mr. Rhett. Lewis W. Parker is another man that has been mentioned for the place. Some say that it will be impossible for him to enter the race as he has much business that must be completed before he could leave his cotton mill projects. He lately launched a $15,000,000 mill mer ger. Martin F. Ansel, two times governor of the State, may try to come back into politics. There was much talk a year ago as to his candidacy for the senate.

Lever will make a dangerous candidate for them all and it is said that he wants the place. He has made a hardworking congressman and has secured results. He is an excellent stump speaker and a strong man personally. That he will he in ; the race is practically certain. Howard B. Carlisle, of Spartanburg, a well known attorney and a member of the State senate, may offer his services. He is well known and liked in the Piedmont section of the State. There is still another rumor to the effect that John Gary Evans, former governor and defeated candidate for the senate, will try to come back. He is practicing law in Spartanburg. He is said to be seriously considering the question. Should Senator Tillman retire the present governor of the State will undoubtedly be a candidate for his position. Another piece of political gossip is to the effect that F. H. Weston and Mendel L. Smith will be candidates for attorney general. This brings in another strong possibility for the United States senate, J. Fraser Lyon. He has made a most excellent record as attorney general of South Carolina. He has made a success of His work ana nas aone everything that he promised the people of South Carolina. He has never given an intimation as to whether he will offer for the senate. He would make a most acceptable senator and has many friends who would warmly support his candidacy. ?Columbia special to Augusta Chronicle. Body Found in Hog Pen. ! Wheeling, W. Va., Sept. 16.? Nearly covered with mire and badly disfigured, the dead body of "Bud" Toothman, desperado and gun fighter, was found among a drove of hogs at the home of George Maxwell, Toll Gate, W. Va. The swine were rooting and wallowing the body in the mud, trying to devour it. I The mysterious death of Toothman was explained by the cowering Maxwell *and his family, who were hiding in a cornfield. Saturday night they received a scrawly letter from Toothman, telling them he was tired of their presence and was coming to drive them away. Sunday night the father and mother fled to the cornfioM on*! twrt snns with shot guns, remained on guard. Toothman hurled a bowlder through the door and wa9 entering when both guns were discharged pointblank at him.

Minor, night watchman at the Graniteville mill, is undergoing a rather remarkable change for a man of his age. Mr. Minor is about 50 years of age, j but is about to experience the pleas ure of a complete new set of teeth. When Mr. Minor was a child he shed his "baby" teeth, but none came in their place. After waiting in vain for them to appear he had made a set of false teeth and used them constantly until a short time ago when he found that the plate no longer fitted his mouth.

New Orleans, Sept. 14.?Dead] shrimp by the million and fish by the thousands are floating about on the waters of Lake Pontchartrain, near the bulkheads at the entrance of the new basin as a result of a diet of molasses, which found its way into the lake "from the city sewers when 600,000 gallons were recently let inns** in the streets when a storage tank burst. The molasses contained about IVz per cent, potash to the gallon. Unless the tides carry the dead fish away, it is predicted that the odor will be so great that the residents will be forced to move from West End. He Didn't Mind. The little boy was carrying home the empty bowl that had contained his father's dinner, when a big bully appeared. "Do you mind if I kick that bowl?" inquired the bully. "Not a bit," replied the small boy. "You mean that? Do you mind if .1 kick the bowl?" "Not a bit." "For the last time. Do you mind if I kick the bowl?" "No. I should like you to." "Oh, would you? Then watch me!" exclaimed -the bully as he shattered the bowl to atoms. "Do you mind now?" "Not a bit," replied the small boy, edging away. "My mother borrowed the bowl from your mother this morning.

Dixon, "maker of governors," and for years successful manipulator of the political campaigns of the Populist party, was found dead early to-day in a onei room hovel, where she had evidently died as the result of want and drink. Mrs. Dixon was a woman of marked talent and ability and her promises of a brilliant career, according to her own confession, were blasted by her craving for drink. She said less than a year ago that politics had caused her downfall and drink her ruin, and that "late caucuses and meetings" had started her on the down grade. She began her career as an actress in September, 1873, appearing in Esmeralda. From 1885 to 1895 her friends included governors and I prominent politicians. She acted as i leading spirit in the populist move| ment, which swept Colorado in 1891 ! and 1892, and resulted in election | of David H. Waite as governor, j Mrs. Dixon lately had been in abi ject poverty and lived by begging. ! - What He Knew. The lawyer had a somewhat difficult witness, and finally asked if he was acquainted with any of the men on the jury. "Yes, sir," replied the witness, "more than half of them." "Are you willing to swear that you know more than half of them?" demanded the lawyer. "Why, if it comes to that, I'm willing to swear that I know more than all of them put together."?Milwaukee.

For several years I had kidney trouble, the pains in the small of my back being almost unbearable. I used several kinds of medicine, but nothing gave me relief until I got Doan's Kidney Pills from tlie Peoples Drug Co.
