Wnfthlnglon's Birth Dny. Tbe fist fight la the Senate occurred on Washington's birth day. Washington, as pou all kuow, couldn't tell a lie, but Mc- j Laurln seemed to think differently of Tillman, and this opinion expressed as it waB, Drought on the fight. McLaurln does not see Lbe likeness Detween George and Ben. Tillman was the aggressor and he brougbt Dn a row from which he will gather no | laurels. Both Senators Ftand suspended. McLaurln has demanded an investigation is to Tillman's charges, and It really seems ' that the Senior Senator Is in close quarters. When he attempts to prove that McKlnley md Roosevelt went Into a corrupt bargain with McLaurln, the witnesses will be hard to Ond. Any charge that McLaurln yielded to Improper influences applies with equal force .o all the parties connected with it. Nobody lelieves that McKlnley or Roosevelt or Mc Laurln are dishonest. Tbelr hands are be- ' lieved to be clean. I "Men of The Time" 1b the title of a valuable ' Biographical Encyclopedia of Contemporane- ' jus Soutn Carolinians, by J. O.
