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 '

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:

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

lied Sunday morning, at his
ather's home in Batesburg?
Lie made an heroic fight for

i period of nearly a year,
5Ut had to succumb at last
;o the inevitable. He first trilmphed
over a spell of typhoid
ever, which wa- (ollowed by
in attack of pleurisy. Later
ionsumption developed. Mr.
junler was a man of strong
lient dity and a successful law
fer. Though but thirty six years
)f age, he had attained marked
Drominence in his profession and
ial been more than once honorid
with public positions of great
asponsibility and trust. For
leven years ho was in the ollice i
>t attorney general, four years as
issistant attorney and for the
ast three years filling the posi
ion of attorney general himself,

vas as priva'e secretary to Gov.
fohn Garv Kvans He wsi? ?lnn
it one linio secret iry of tin*
tate democratic executive comnifcJee.
In every position held
iy him lie proved himself to I
>e capable, diligent, faithful and I
;erilous in I he discharge of his
Intios. His opinions as attorney
jeneral were prepared with great
?*ire, and were almost invariably
iccepted as correct, interpreta
ions ol the law.
