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,

Let*er From Hon. J. N. Estridge.
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

On the calendar are many bills,

\1r. Editoh:?If you wili allow
ine apace in your valuable
paper, 1 will attempt to give you
aome of the recent happening* of
thia aectioe of our grand old
county.
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.
' ! We have preaching every 1st
' and 3rd Sunday in each month.
- Uq 3d Sunday mornings and 1st ,
1 Sunday afternoons, also Sunday '

1 tied to a certain tree in a certain
* man's yard became unruly as if

' WMg.ms, buggies, etc , which hap1
pened to be in hie path, at the

ed. This certain man secured a
t cenveyance from this neighbor of

neighbor's houso, and went heme
to hie good wifo, resolving that
if it was "mineral watsr" that
made hit horse run away, "be" ,
