L.?st Friday Senator Tillman sent in his cheek for $10(5.09 to Attorney General Bellinger. This j t~ pays for u ear load of brick, 40 | bushels of oats and other thingH which he received from tho State through Superintendent Neal. Now, we suppose, this is the last we shall hear about this transaction unless some politician is heard from later in the way of charges against Senator Tillman | for allowing himself to owe the j State tIvough business transactions which he had with Col. Neal in those good old palmy days when things were running high and small men were stooping low 111 the shadow of official circlesl . about Columbia. ... I r? It is a good thing to be able .
