No morn candid confession of fear to tr.sl its destiny to the people could he wanted when the dis pensary's warmest supporters ad niit that even a decree ef local option would he probably fatal to the "great moral institutions"? Tae State. Mr. Louis Appelt, editor of the Manning Times, says he has seen documentary evidence that ceaviets Senator Tillman of certain charge* vhich have been brought agaiast hitn in times paat. Mr. Appelt does aet say to whieb of the several charges that have been made against the Senator the evidence refers; but frem the context of the editoral it is presumed that the writer refers to the dispensary rebate ' matter, if so, the statement is interesting; but as to ths practical effect we aro unable to say W baa Senator M. C. Butler brought these charges first ha put than lika this: Governor Tillman bought whiskay for tha dispensary fratn tha whiskay trust. Tka whiskey trust gives rebates an all pur? chase*. All purchasers who buy whiskey from tha whiskay trust gat thosa rebates. It is the whisky trust's system of doing business. There is nething an the b eks af tha dispensary to show that the state of South Carolina got rebates on its purchases. Those rebates were due. if the state did not gat them, why did she not, and it she did gat them what became of them? That was a searching proposition. It pat Senator Til I man on tha dafansiva, hut ha did not assay to defaitd himsalf. Ha oaaraly turnad the mattar of? by asking tha paaple if Ibay would baliaua such a thing of him, and ha has sinca pointed to nis suhsaquant alectioa as a vardict of "oat guilty."

Mr Editor: - Plsase allow ma upnee for a snort letter in your paper as I feel it my duty to my constituent* to lei tbe? know something about what w* are doi?*M in itie Legislature. Our delegation, lucludiug Mr Wilsnn, the hergeant ut Arms, urc u!! com-foriablv located. The General As.-euihlv convened at 12 m. 14th. au<( on* bundled and nine (109) members of the House answered to their names at roll call. Three of our members have died since I.. A .1-11 - ? win ui*i rou cmi, aiso our asststaut clerk, Dr. Richards, of Liberty Hill, who was a very efficient uiid painstaking official. We elected Rev. R. N Pratt, a Baptist minister of>Columhia,chaplain of the House. The act to repeal the free pass law passed last session and held by the Governor, with his signature and returned to the House, this session, was killed for lack of a two third vote. L voted for the repeal because I believe it is a stain on the character of the members of the General Assembly and judiciary of the State to have such a law on tha statute boeks. Any man thai could be bought by any corporation with a free pass is a cheap man and should never be elected to any office. There is a hil1 er the calendar te increase the pen sion fund to two hundred thou aend dollars and I understand thai there will ba a bill bafora thi Housa to build a home in tki State, I suppose at Columbia, foi invalid Confederate soldiers. 1 ant opposed to spending muna) for that purpose. In a few mors Years the old soldiers will all have passed away anil the home left te be inhabited by the bats and ?wis L am in favor of giving what money we hare to spare foi eld Confederate soldiers at theii homes. 1 believe it will do then mote good than to spend thousand) of dollars in building a home tc benefit a few, and for a big natni after the* are dead. It would bi like a man's good traits?nothing said about them until after he ii dead. We will have one Asso ciate Justice and Six Circuit judgei to elect. There ia no oppeaitioi only in the third circuit and J predict that Purdy, of Sumter, will be eleoted in that circuit. Respectfully, J. N. Est ridge. The candidates for the tw< vacancies on the penitentiary directorate are Hon. W. B. Lov? of York and Hon. W. D. Mani of Abbeville, Hon. J. O. Wingi Greenville and Hon. W. C. Vin cent of Beaufort.

The health of the community ie generally good, with excepting of aome caaet^of muuipa, with wjtieh, we learn, that Messrs. Wesl?v Howell and D. R i?app, have been very sick. The farmers of this section have gone to work, with redoubled i . ..... energy, setting aside the gh um of the past year and looking forward to a yaar of great productiveness, i This is tba way to dispense with tlis "hard times." I Wa have a very flourishing school at Tabernacle Academy, I under the supervision of Mr. H. ' n. Rowell. He re|K)rta an enrollment of about 65 pupils. 1 would here say that we always have a geod school at Tabernacle, which is the direct result of the untiring interest manifested hv 1 the patrens, and we hope that the 1 day will soen dawn, when we ms>' < have one of the best schools in tbiN whole country, for higher eduea- , > tion us well as primary or common school education, as is ours 1 at the present.

Mr. Editor, no bare had son* rery singular occurrences recent' ly. On the 31st day of Dec. 1 1901, sometime between the bour > ef the appearance of the great 1 natural light which illuminates I this earthly sphere during the r, day, and its disappearance be* yend the western horison, ' horse of a certain nan, being' 1 tied to a certain tree in a certain * man's yard became unruly as if > he had been drinking Rives' 1 mineral water, broke his fasten1 ings and dashed away upsetting ' WMg.ms, buggies, etc , which hap1 pened to be in hie path, at the * same time demolishing the vehicle 1 to which he happened to be hitch1 ed. This certain man secured a t cenveyance from this neighbor of i | hie, for fortunately it was at his neighbor's houso, and went heme to hie good wifo, resolving that if it was "mineral watsr" that made hit horse run away, "be" , > should take no more. r Also on Jan. 1st 1902, one of * our venerable old uncles, whoss 1 hoary looks, show that more than ' half a century has passed over his - head was so beside himself on the ; * day mentioned above, that he > actually rode bit donkey, to one j t of hie neighbor's, and having it ? put in a comfortable stall, helped : hie neighbor work all day, leavi ing in the evening fergetting all 1 about his 'donkey, not finding out what he had done until he reached heme when he sent one of nie sens ; post baste after the animal.
