CHESTERFIELD S FINANCES. Our neighboring county of Chesterfield seems to be in a bad way financially, notwithstanding :he tact that it had about $ 13,000 to its credit a few years ago ? it the recent term of court, the county having no funds on hand, /urors and witnesses, in order to jet their money, had to discount their claims ut a bank, paying sight per cent tor the cash. The Chesterfield Advertiser eommenting on the unfortunate Condition of affairs, says: If the Bounty can't pay its debts when they are due it ought to borrow the money and pay them. The) iouuty, as a whole, can bolter af I ford to pay interest on what it | owes than her citizens can to tiscount its papers. If Chester liol<l County has gotten ho poor ( ibat. it lias to ask its citizens to 11 work forj.it and watt twelve j jmnths tor their pay it's in a bad t ( condition and this state of at- ? Airs should have been remedied \ A some way by the last legists- j ? TILLWAN IN THE NOttTH. r L Senator Tillman's numerous! admirers in South Carolina are j no d mbt ura'ilied to note the ev-j ' , iences of his increasing popular- ( it v with all classes North, where * J f one time lie was abhorred ami . nospised. There is no doubt . . . .. . It. noom tue laci 5 nut. ne is now " recognized as one of the strong ast, brainiest men in national politics. His prominence today ?. r mong the nation's leading states- J * joen is due to his great naturi 1 ability and striking individuality, '< his perseverance under great obstacles and to his unflagging determination to succeed atanythifg i: he undertakes.Not one man in ten or An 1/1 li a o A ononnorlufl no T.lltw ? ? i f "u?u out/^vuucu i iiiiuaii i / uobiunder similar circumstances, n Bven many of his old enemies in H '.hi? State now entertain .1 more t, fcfindly feeling toward him. j A Spartanburg merchant,while an New York last week, seems to) t Btaye been forcibly impressed I t< with the change of Northern a sentiment toward Tillman, as d tppears from the following ape- h stal from Spartanburg to the ii Augusts Herald: A Sparti' ti >urg merchant, who has just re urned from New York, savsiha' 1 teople iu South Carolina have 10 idea how strong a hold Sen tor Tillman has taken ou northern sentiment. 11 is name is on lie lips of nearly everybody iu *Jew York, financiers and wholeale merchants and busineB nen of large affairs as well as lie ordinary citizen. lie is look'd on, says the Sp trtanburg nter-liant, as about the biggest man n the country, not even the ^resident being regarded as tnoie imminently idenified with curent questions and legislation ban the South Csiolina Senator This Spartanburg merchant says te has never been a Tillman nan and has never voted lor rdlmau, but expects to do so his summer as a candidate to ucceed himself in the United >iates t-onate. He says it would )e nothing short of a national salaraity for Senator Tillman to etire from the senate at this ime. ATTORNEY GENERAL GUNTER. Attorney General U. X.
