The Vorkville Enquirer learns! of some interesting stories thitare being told of the big pic-nic oc I rasion at Liberty Hill on the 23d lilt , especially iu so far as it relates to Senator Tillman. The senator, so the story goes, ha I l?e?*n specially invited ; hut he declined to accept the invitation except on a promise of the oemmitUe thai his "expenses" to the amount of $10. tie paid. The senator mad* a character, istic speech, discussing in his own way not exactly national issues, hut the aliened sins of thenatiiu.nl majority, and he took occasion also to addross himwlf to the do. ings of Senator McLaurin, throw ing upon I hut gentleman his cum. toniary aWuse and denunciation. In the course of his talk the senator took occasion also to speak of tlv general i moinnce of the Lib C % rty Hill people, telling them I'. 1 they wire backwoodsmen wh-? did not know enough to read the d.ii ly pajiei s. 'iu- l i i i - i n? speucu iqi'ougoi'iir was listened to with more or less attention ; but was not applauded with esjiecial enthusiasm. Asa matter < of fact, it is said that the Liberty ! Hill people have not been an espe- | chilly demonstrative community | since the tirst few years of the early nineties. Hie $10 for Senator Tillman's expenses hart not been raised be- j forehand as would have been the , < a-e had the couimittee been more | thoughtful and considerate, so it j whs necessary to raise the amount by subscription after the speech had been delivered and the work whs rather slow. But whether, as the result of the publicity or otherwise, Senator Tillman became quite generous with the money when it was turned over to him. He donated it to the rifle company with instructions that it be used for providing better seats around the speakers' stand for use next year. There has been a great deal of talk about the meeting all down in Lancaster count , and it seems to be quite a pity that there was no newspaper man present to write up the whole story in detail 44C.

A Souvenir of Mar's Hill, where Paul Preached to the Athenians. Rev. Oliver Johnson,of Leslie, i S. C., who is in Washington on his return from the recent convention of Ueited Presbyterians at Winona Lake, lnd., has a gavel which the Rev.

He was a Confederate surgeon of ability, and ex-president of the American Medical Association and an eminent authority on yellow fever. His body, according to his direction, will be ciemated, the third instance of the kiud in the history of South Carolina, the first, having been Henry Laurens, the president of the Continental Congress, who died in 1792, the first cremation in this country. The attitude of Tillman and the Tiilmanites in South Carolina toward Senator McLaurin has t?egotten for thera a good deal of embarrassment. The Washington Post, lor instance, makes this unpleasant observation : ?'According to the action of the South Carolina Democratic State committee, it is all right for Democratic United States Senators to turn Populists, but all wrong for thera to turn Republicans." And The Spartanburg Herald, with the apparent purpose of making itself disagreeable, asks, "Why are the Haskellites, who acted outside of the Democratic party, considered irnnri D#?mn??rnt* nhilfl Unl .anrin who is merely charged with hold ing Republican views, is asked to rawign i" And hefere this question can be answered, asks why it is that McLaurin should lie regarded as a Republican and asked to resign while Congressman El. hott "was never asked to resign for opposing the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 when it was the leading Democratic is* sue." The Post and The Herald appear to have the brethren on the hip.?Charlotte Observer. Eight Road Machines at Work on ! Spartanburg's Highways. Special to The State.

Acting Coroner McMuster hold the inquest over the head and shoulders of the dead hoy and a verdict of death from accidental drowning was returned bv tho jury. The only eye witness present at the inquest was Engineer John Hunter, who saw the boy as he sank. A crowd was soon at the scene and many volunteers, white and colored, began the search for the body. For over an hour the men dived in vain and one of the spectators who laid claim to a knowledge ef the effect of dynamite insisted on burling in three cburges.

Mr. Fred Heffner then went under and came up shortly holding the dead boy by the arm. lbe spectacle was a horrible one when the rescuer came ashore carrying the upper half of the body and placed it on the ground bleeding aud mutilated. Some negroes were hired to bring the rest of the corpse ashore and the couaty utteaded to the burial, as the parents of the boy are dead. Sdawte Tour Bowel* With Caacaret*.
