Senator Tillman said that he had made up his mind some time ago not te withdraw hia opposition to I Postmaster Richardson, and that j the petition would not chojige his ; intention. Senator Tillman alleges that Mr Richardson's paper, the Greenville News, has been unnecessarily harsh and unfair in its criticisms of himself as a Senator, and lie will tight the nomination. It is not probable the Senate will violate precedent and over-ride Senator j Tillman's objection.

Special to The State. Hampton, March 25.?This morning between 2.30 and 3 o'clock a most during burglary was committed in the town of Hampton. Safe crackers entered the office of County Treasurer J. C. Langford and succeeded in demolishing the safe aud escaping with the centents. They made an entrance by breaking the lock ou me uoor to the office, which is in the court bouse. There were only two in the party of burglars. The safe was blown open by a charge of uitro glycerine. The hammer, drill and other tools was in making the holo for the charge wero tuken from the shop of Mr. ,1. I. Roberts after he left the shop about 11.30 o'clock. The explosion awakeued Clerk of Court W. B. Causey, who lives about 25 ? ards from the court house. He ran out and saw the burglars in the bright moonlight. Realizing what had happened be secured his shot gun and using shells loaded with buckshot gave chase, tiring ot them twice at the range of about 100 yards. He and Mr. W. T. .Johns,- who was also awakened, gave the alarm. A party wus formed hefore day and with the assistance of two bloodhounds begun u bunt for lhe robbers, but their search was futile, the dogs not being able lo run the trail for any distance. Treasurer Laagford. who lives ' it Brunson, was greatly chagrined Lo tiud his safe demolished and the window panes in his office ell shattered this morning. The burglars made their escape with the contents ot the safe. It con[uined about $200 in cash besides jome checks on the Bank of Hauipton.

Wills Point from Lancaster and Chesterfield counties, S. C\, and I'nion county, N. C., and quite a numbet have gone to other places. A group of our Lan?aster county friends have settled six miles northeast of Wills Point. If you will allow mo space in your newsy columns. 1 will give them and their surroundings a brief mention. On the north side of our settlement we huve our old friend, P. B. Funderburk, who bus an ideul huaie and is surrounded with all the necessaries and comforts of life. W. 0. Funderburk is domiciled in a good homo just one-half mile dowa the road and is getting along splendidly. Three hundred yards further down we find T. \. Funderburk, who by hard toil and honest efforts has procured u neat home and is getting fixed to enjoy life. Within a few stonos cast is .James L. Hair who bv his shrewdness has made u success of his undertakings and has get comfortably fixed. Three bun* died yards further is John S. Funderburk, who has a nice farm and ha9 the push and vita that is necessary to make farming a successful business. Just in froat of his place is our old reliable C. P. Knight wno has not been in Texas long enough to realise much of its advuutuges but Cicoro know*. a good thing when he sees it. He has un elegant home, well located, and is farming quite different to what he did in former days. In addition to those mentioned we have Fred Funderburk, John Hair aod Barnes Starnea for our neighbors. They have just begun to fight the battles of life for themselves and as they ai e worthy and energetic young men wo bespeak for them success. The tetul worth of the first six ! mentioned when they first set their feet on Texas soil was $2,200. They now own property clear of debt to the amount $12,000, showing an increase of $0,800 m less than ten years. All this was made by farming apd not by speculating. And bow some of | tir old friends think we would come back to our old homes if we only could procure the means to do so. My ! My ! We are the best contented set of farmers ybit ever saw. At this season of the year when we are preparing our land and planting ourerops, without the use of commercial fertilizer, our mind runs buck to our old homo and our boyhood days when we were oppressed by the heavy fertilizer account, und our physical strength was so worried in distributing the surue over our tields, and the crops perhaps mortguged.topay for this nuisance.
