?Edenfield Advert? Ti US. J. ADAMS,.Ei WEDNESDAY, MARCH TILLMAN AND HIS FRIENDS-1 TOUR THROUGH THE STA! Jin Greenville, Columbia, leston-everywhere-a warm ing and a hearty welcome hag accorded Senator Tillman, aa Congressional friends in the cent toni through the State. At Greenville, on Tuesday 7th, tho notice was too limite the tender of a banquet, bu guests were driven around th' ar.d saw the factories and all p of interest-had a hot supp' the Mansion Rouse, and formally welcomed by a big .meeting in Beattie's Hall, v there was much pleasant spe:i and a happy exchange of coi ments betwe?n Senator Til] and his Congressional friend: the prominent citizens of the Congressman Connelly, of nois, Congressman Cowherd Missouri, Congressman Shaft of Colorado, and Cougresema Hamilton Lewis, of Wash in State, made short, bright, ejoq speeches, all of which were hi enjoyed by the audience, who i ifeeted their pleasure by rouni roaring applause. From. Congressman Lewis1 marks we quote as follows: "When Mr. Lewi";got up he he ihought he was about the i direct young rebel in the aggr tion of tramps. Tillman bad him to expect to exhibit him and there he was now. Mr. L is known far aud wide for dainty sarcasm and keen wit, he exercised them tu perfectio his brother Congressmen. In off Washington State, where came from, every town and < he said, had sons of Carolini aud then he spoke with ferlin how his dear mother came f South Carolina, aud how his cestors helped to make Ki Mountain glorious. Therefor was his pride and pleasure to i Carolina's onward march. He viewei the vast possibilities ah for South Caro?nn, and h>s per tion about South'Carolina, the die of secession, taking to her a of hospitality and pressing to bosom of love the soldier boy Massachusetts, New Jersey : New" u "ow here, was, iud( a ma? ar or two -> .*ior 'Tillman"'was'next } sented and spoke briefly beca of the hour and his being at ho He misned the wool hats, he si but wanted to join in the w'elcoi To Mr. Latimer was due the i credit of bringing the party ht He thought Reed Lad bottled the eloquence of the Congressm and that, therefore, they w ready, but he had talked a lot a had no sizzling oratory to vent night. He, too, got in his jol cm the party, mostly on his frie from Illinois, who came down hu thirty years ago as an eiigim ahead of Sherman. By way of g ting at Mr. Lewis, he said he h been in every State except sevc and had spoken in all but tweh and that he had received enouj applause wherever he went even satisfy him, aud he thought he w a glutton as to applause. Talkii about Colorado, he said that the his soubriquet of the pitchfork w fastened on him, and he forgot say he was Hobsonized there. I told of how friends were made I Congressme n, and that they we not on political lines, and how tl public stealing was going on at how he was trying to get Carolina full share for her various commi nities. Senator Tillman' wi heartily received. . AT COLUMBIA. Tn reference to the reception ( the Tillman excursiou party i Columbia on Wednesday last, Th State says: "Columbia hap entertained th Congressional party which, on it way to Cuba, has stopped over ti Carolina at the invitation of ou Tepresentativos in Congress. "Feeling very jubilant over ie cont events which point to Colum bia's development and growth, the capital city has, in the limit?e time allowed, done everything sh< could to entertain and honor hei , guests aud to show her apprecia tion of the services of Senator Till man and Congressman Stauyarm \Vilson, who Lave worked for tju appropriation for 'the opening ol the Congaree river/' And the Record says : "Right royally did Columbia en . tertain her distinguished guests yesterday. They were welcoued with a warmth which mac! the strangers among them realize that, much as they had heard of South ern hospitality, the half had pol been told. Most pleasant of all, political prejudice and bitterness was laid aside and the cordiality of the greeting given Senator Till man was not a whit less, but rather greater, than that accorded the dis * ti?guished gentlemen w<th whom' he is traveling. In justic?* tj th citizens of Columbia, The Record must say it does not believe their warm welcome of Tillman^as due solely to gratification at his earn est and successful work for an ap propriation for opening of the Congaree," which would have been slightly selfish, but also to a dawn ing appreciation of a fact which cannot be denied that Ben Tillman is a South Carolinian who has forged to the front in Washington and won a national reputation and influence of which his fellow citi zens may well be proud!" At the grand banquet at the Grand Central, given in honor ot Columbia's honored guests, many enlivening speeches and much ou thusiasm prevailed. And when Mr. Shand announced Benjamiu R., Tillman, the senior senator's name was received with deafening applause aud he was kept standing several minutes before he could re ply to the toast "South Carolina." Senator Tillmau said that tho Senate was the only deliberate body in Washington, and he re lated his experience of the last few days, showing that h^ had had much to fatigue him. Therefore, he made, apology for any short coming. He said: "We have a State of which we are proud. You have a city which we hope to see marching steadily to the front. It is not necessary to discuss the oc casion of this assembly. I h^ve simply done my duty. lam glad that you are willing to acknowl edge that I am not a noneuitv in the United States Renate,and lam glad that you are willing to bou om me. Let the dead past bury its dead, and let us move forward to gether. I congratulate you that half of those visiting gentlemen are Republicans ard that there is i ow less sectional ieelitig than since the war. (Cheers.) The United States are to-day united hy bonds of blood. Your welcome of these gentlemen is a harbinger of better days in the republic. Tin great heart of the masses of the people beats for good government. We are not going th* way of other republics, and sink beneath the burden of a standing army. 4iWe are far poorer than other States, but they have the accumu lated wealth of 20U years, while we began life anew in 1865. When they consider our poverty, our lack of thrift, these representatives from other States cannot refuse us, struggling under adverse con "??nons paying :}%00?,0u?'peusion6";" they canuot refuse us a request for any appropriation which is in or der, decency and right, and South Carolina will never ask for any thing which is not decent and right. (Cheers). We of South Carolina have no apologies to make. We will always ?espond to ?very call as in 1770, 1812 and 1817 and every other time when we haue been called upon." When the cheers which greeted his taking his seat had subsided, Mr. Cowherd propose?: a toast to Senator Tillman and Congressman Wilson. This was drunk with a heart)r good will by all present, and tue love feast of the Yankee and Reb., ot partisan and oppo nent, was declared adjourned by Toastmaster Shand. AT CHARLESTON. Senator Tillman and the con gressional party arrived at Char leston, on Thursday morning at l l o'clock, and wore met by Mayor Adger Smythe and some fifteen or more of the prominent citizens of the city, who took charge of the ladies and gentlemen of the visit ing party, escorted them to the carriages in waiting and drove them rapidly around the city, pointing out the chief points of interest. The party wa^ then taken to Accommodation wharf, where the Pilot boy was boarded for an excursion around the harbor and to the Isle of Palms. At the latter place the guests and their enter tainers had lunch served to them and many were the convivial courtesies interchanged. The party returned to the city ab .t 6 o'clock and enjoyed a bries rest before the banquet, which was served at the Charleston Hotel at 7.30,- Speeches were made by Senator Tillman and Congressmen Connally, Cow herd, Shafrotb, Lewis. Norton, Datimer, Showalter and Colonel Waterhouse, ana all the speakers were generously applauded. The fraternization of Senator Tillman and his opponents in the city, even to the editors who have so bitterly denounced him in the past, was complete ?>nd the occasion was au epoch-making one in State hatchet burying and reconciliation. . The banquet at the Charleston Hotel was a very brilliant affair. The board was graced by a num ber of prominent Charleston peo ple, ladies as well as gentlemen, besides the distinguished visitors. The banquet room in the second story was used for the occasion, lt had been beautifully decorated, potted plants, palms, roses and ?thor toieus of winter in the South being placed in tasteful array about the spacious room. J .Mayor Smyth occupied the chair J of the toastmaster and presided with grace aud dignity. On his right sat Senator Tillman and the position to the left was filled by Dr. H. W. Bays. When the guests had all arrived at the places as signed to them Dr. Bays asked the plessing, the orchestra started a merry rondel ay and all was soon as merry?afl the proverbial marriage bell. <*" Mayor Smyth, befure callijg upon Senator Tillmau to respond to the toast of "South Carolina," said that the city was glad to have bini within her gates. He had done much for Charleston and for the past two years he had never refused or neglfcted a request made by her. He said he wished to thank Senator Tillmon publicly for all he had doue for Charles ton. Senator TillmaD said he hardly knew how to begin a speech at midnight hour aud uuder the con ditions ex'istiug, It was his first experience iii making a speech ut a bauquet where lovely woman was present. So many things had been alluded.to and so many jokes had been perpetrated, he was perplexed as to what to say. Some of the things said reminded him of some of the sermons he had preached on the City Hall steps. He told how he had ridden on the steeplechase at the Isle, and was glad to see that the tinkle of the horse car had disappeared from Charleston's streets. Some gjod things had been credited to him, be was proud to uame the twin colleges and the new Constitution, and all had j been accomplished under petticoat government. At tim tender age of 20 his good mother had turned him over to a good wife. Alluding to Congressman Cunnolly's speech the Senator? said that it was all new to him, although some people might have thought he loaded and primed the gun for firing. In the Senato be was first recognized for hip brutal fra-ik-I ties*. "You have felt, the sting of m'y words in Charleston," ho said, "and now 1 want to spologi/.e for their sharpness. You were fighting rae and I hit. back hard. But I would have been less than a man bad I carried tho war to Washing ton. You had a right, to differ with me, but DOW that is past. I am ready to take to my heart any project to advance the iuterests of my State, aod. Jo^ for South Carolina's share. I gained the respect of the Senate by telling what I thought. They toon learned that despite ray uncouth speech they could always put a finger down and find me. "Seeing the South au outcast-a sort of step-danghter-with little chance for consideration or justice, I went to work and tried to win the confidence and esteem of the best Republicans.. I was success ful, and now count many warm aud true irieuds, among whom I will meutiou Bill Chandler, aud if i you sav, "Oh ! he stole the electoral vote of Florida," I caunot help that. We did some quiet work ourselves once, and I tell the Seuatjrs about it myself." The Senator then briefly alluded to the needs of Charleston and his' desire to see tho harbor improved. He also shoke of the proposed Sanitarium at Castle Piuckuey, and said that be depended upon* the Congressmen present to get the bill through the National House of Piepresen tat ives at the next session. "The best way to get what is du6 Charleston and the South," said the Senator, "is to have such trips as the one now being enjoyed by my self and the Congressmen. I ioyited this party to Charleston; it was booked for'Florida, but I thought it ought to come here. I am very glad I did so, and I think the visit will be productive of good." In conclusion, Senator Tillmau thanked the people of Charleston for the kindly reception tendered himself and the Congressmen. He had fought the men of Charles ton for years, "but now the hatchet is buried. I never surrendered to the men, however, but go away a slave to \.ar fair daughters." (Applause.) GERMANY'S ATTITUE. Berlin, March 7.-Emperor V, ' lam's message of sympathy to Mrs Kipling, occasioned by her husband's serious illness, is com mented upon by tbs press today. The Yossische Zeituug Bay? : . "This new manifestation of the emperor's sympathy form a pleasant contrast to the erroneous statements that Germany is about to declare a tariff was on the United States.

It-is ungracious to jump on a man who is down, says tb? Colum bia State, but it is proper to poiut nut tho fact that Superin tendent Neal, of the -peniten tientiary. has beeu guilty of a very serious crime. He, appenre according to his own admissions, to have used money which belonged to i ie State and to have concealed his act by. suppressing entries which should have appeared on his books. "We do not believe he intended,to steal anything, and the frankness with which he meets investigation is in his favor, but comparatively few defaulters deliberately intend to rob. The law calls the unauthorized use of money belonging to another a crime, however good the intention to repay may have been. Detter Than tho Dispensary.
