Some men have made snuj
fortunes from their work in th<
Chautauqua field. More publi
men are going into the worl
^ every year. Most of them admi
they like it.
The Chautauqua is rapidl,
drawing to a close, and it ha
been the most prosperous of an
yet held. Senator Tillman ha
been the great drawing card.
He has made more money on
of it than any other Chautauqu
attraction. He had a fai/ly goo
reputation before the season he
gan, but the railroad rate bil
in congress last winter brougli
him into such notoriety tha
every farmer in the land wante
to get a look at him. Many c
them wanted to hear him and al
of them were willing to pay th
admission fee.
Tillman saw the humor in th
whole thing, but at the sam
time he did not overlook th
money. lie told a South Care
lina political audience that li
made the Yankees pay him fo
the privilege of hearing him cal
them a lot of hypocrites on th
negro question.
Mr. Tillman could not begi
10 nil me engagements oll'ered t
liim this season. Three lector

and his price was $250 a lec
ture.
For a lew special engagement
he received a higher price. A
one place in Iowa he receive*
$500. At another in Illinois In
received $.'100. His season was
probably worth $25,000 t(
him.

' To Use Towers Instead of
*
Rock Hill Herald: The South1
ern I'ower Company has a force
a of hands busily engaged erecting
i transmission towers from the
/ Catawba Kails plant to their other
3 plant 8 miles north of this city,
a These towers are built entirely
, of steel and one tower takes the
place of four poles. The towers
, are only two heights, one 35 feet
3 and the other 50 feet. This is an

r work. In talking to a dam man
1 Monday he informed us that these
f steel towers are the first of their
kind ever erected in the world.
