A medical journal says inciigea j

this will keep some men from
boring their friends by telling t
how they suffer from it.?Audeiso

Accordine to our observation <

lying is oftentimes caused by in- ,
digestion.

A leading (Georgia paper says 1
that prohibition is not prohibit- i
inn in that State. i>ut the state '
ment does not accord with con- 1
diti'?ns a? published in Us owu I
i ewH columns. For instance, it '
is stated that for the lirst time in !
fifteen years every cell in the '
Atlanta polio > orison was empty
1-st Saturday, which remarkable
faet the police attribute to the
state prohibition law that went
ii.lo effect the first of this year.
Representative Ribiaaon, oJ
Lancaster, has introduced in tho
Jfouse a bill t.o provide lor the (
erection of a stone to mark the

Jackson, seventh President
of the United Slates, was born j
in what is now Lancaster Counthis
Slate. Mr. Robinson
nsks that tho Legislature appro]
iafe $500 for this purpose. *
The foregoing is a Columbia v

$169 31; in Kershaw county,
$105; in Chester, $10.15; i?? York,
$245.12; in Chesterfield, not a f
cent. The income taxpayer in ,(
Chester, by tlie way, is said to be <;
an unmarried lady. No income c
tax was paid in as many as six-i j

TBE LANO^
Old Mr. Patriok said once that
the objection he had to North
Carolina was lie couldn't tell a
republican from a white man.?
The objection we have to Union
is you can't always tell a white
man from a negro,?that is uot
by the color.?Union Times.
That is cerlainly "handing a
lemon" to the Union white man.
Ih it possible that he is so black
that you can not tell him from a
negro, or is the Union negro 8o
white that he c?m not be distinguished
from his white neighbor?
Our esteemed contemporary's re
marknble statement recalls to
iniud the fact that a number ol
years ago a colored preacher ol
Lancaster moved to Union county,
where he ''passed ofF' as a
white man all right. The impo
ution was finally exposed by a
ady of Lancaster while on a visit
lo Union.
Urief mention was made in
"ur last issue of Senator Tillman's
ablo and comprehensive
speech before the sta'e legislature
in Columbia Thursday night.
In view of the importance ot his
subject, the immigration ques-,
tion in its relation to the race
problem, and the clear and lucid
manner in which ii was handled,
we deem it prop r to give a more
extended notice of what the Senator
saul?hence the publication
1 i ^ e ~ ?. i% 1.1. .
if>u \v iitrrw ?u <i pari tu (in: pross
reports ot the address. It wiil be
jeen that Mr. Tillman takes high
itid patriotic ground, regardless
it what elh'ct the expression of
lis views may have on his politcal
fortunes. Some politicians
naudle the immigration question
yery delicately an I evasively, if
he.v handle it at ill, but not so
with Tillman. He comes out
boldly and declares that it white
upremacy is to be maintained
in this sta'e it must he done
by increasing the white popuia
tiou, and that the way to bring
about that increase is by the introduction
of white immigrants,
of the right kind, of course. The
senior Seuator is right, and time
will no doubt prove the wisdom
ot his position.
