Tii e Lexington Dispatch Wednesday. March 12, 1902. Senator Tillman Explains. Senator Tillman, writing to the Charleston News and Ccurier, eaye: "I have just seen your editorial in Monday's paper taking rne to task for a sentence in my speech of apology to the Senate on Saturday. It is strange that an intelligent man could so far miscoDBtrue my meaning. rne News and Courier once was unable to see any good in anything I ever said or did, and it must have had a relapse. Of course, the meaning you put on the language can be gotten out of the words by a gangrened and inflamed imagination, but I have not been noted for my humility cr lack of States rights, and no one but I a rtritin anxious to condemn would so interpret, them. Recollect that this speech was condensed, and purposely so, because it was no time for indulging in talk. Suppose you allow me to expand the thought and make the sentence read this waj: 4I had never had any legislative experience when I came here, and my previous service as Governor of South Carolina for four years had unfitted me in a meas ure to enter this august assembly with dignity and regard?proper regard I would say?for its traditions and habits and rules that is desirai ble.' In the Governor's office my I every day woik was to give orders ' and decide questions, many of them important, without consulting any one. This habit of mind and thought unfitted me for entry upon the arena I found here. Senatorial courtesy and dignity and everything connected with the routine work of the bcdy was altogether strange and different from my ideas, and I have never yet been able to adapt myself to the many customs and habits of the Senate. This was all. I cannot conceive how any one would imagine that I could assert or confess that a Governor of South Carolina cannot be dignified and behave himself, here or elsewhere. I am afraid that it was my ccndact while Governor that makes you 90 ready to seize upon this simple statement, that was thouroghly well understood by every one in the Senate, just as I meant it, and attempt to make a 'mountain out cf a 1- v:n ? LUUiH mil"I have doDe a good many things since I have been here with which the News and Courier seemed well pleased, notwithstanding my 'plantation manners,' and if it will do you any good I think I may say that my every utterance and action in Saturday's episode is heartily approved and applauded here by every Democratic member in the Senate except three or four, and by every Democratic member of the House with whom I have talked. I do not mean, of course, that they do not deplore the necessity I was under to strike my colleague. "If you will print the speech in full I am sure the people of the State will eDjoy it, and I am ready now as always to abide their judgment. To have acted otherwise than I did would have been to disgrace myself and the I State both." Could BTot Breathe. Coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, other throat and lung troubles are quickly cured by One Minute \ Cough Cure. One Minute Cough Cure is not a mere expectorant, which gives only temporary relief. It softens and liquifies the mucous, draws out the inflammation and removes the cause of the disease. Absolutely safe. Acts at once. "One Minute Cough Cure will do all that is claimed for it," says Justice of the "Poo/?o -T O TTonfl Aficu A. VWVV^ V AAWWW) V/fcVC iutou* "My wife could not get her breath and was relieved by the first dose. It has been a benefit to all my family." J. E. Kaufmann. The Sociable Candidate. A story, which is part of the flotsam and jetsam of a recent political campaign, is worth a more permanent place in the annals of human nature. A candidate found, to bis surprise, that a voter, somewhat ignorant, but of influence in his neighborhood, had suddenly decided to vote for him. This was the reason the man gave for his change of base: "I was against you at first, sir, and r when you stood by tbat pigsty and talked with me for half an hour you didn't budge me an inch: but after you had gene away I got to thinking bow you bad reached your hand over tbe rail and scratched the pig's back unt'l he lay down with tbe pleasure of it, and I made up my mind that when a man was eo sociable as tbat with a poor fellow creature I wasn't the one to vote against him.'' Undoubtedly, if tbe candidate had Fciatched the pig's back a? a mere electioneering c-xpedient, it would not have bad the same effect, for your thorough going farmer is quick to detect a thing which is done for show. The city man frequently gets the credit for such sharpness, but the fact is that he is so prone to consider all things frauds that he is sometimes inclined to reject an honest man in favor of a sharper, because the latter appears to b9 clever. It, is pretty safe to conclude that when a man is immensely popular with the plain people of the country there is something genuine in him which they instinctively feel; and in this case the candidate's impulse to make the pig happy appears to have been half unconscious, and all the more impressive on that account. It would hardly be safe to conclude that any candidate may go to Congress by the simple process of pig scratching, but honest friendliness toward "fellow creatures" Dever comes amiss in politics or in life. Practically Starving. "After using a few bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure my wife received perfect and permanent relief from a severe and chronic care of stomach trouble," says J. K. Holly, real estate, 1. msurhliut! auu iuttu af.'1-ui, ui jiouuuju, 1 111. ''Before using Kcdol Dyspesia i Cure she could not eat an ordinary meal without intense suffering. She is now entirely cured. Several physicians and many remedies had failed to give relief." You don't have to diet. Eat any good food you want, but don't overload the stomach. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure will always d'gest it for you. J. E. Kaufmann. ? ? Jasper Talbert's Story. Representative Talbert, of South Carolina, who wants to be the Governor of bis State, says the Washington Post, has a fund of stories with which he enlivens up his stump speeches, so that his campaign never lacKS in interest, lie gave one 01 his stories a practical application the other night, when he was a guest at a dinner. Several courses had been served and there were yet more to follow, when Mr. Talbert turned to the guest next to him. "Down in South Carolina," he said, "there was a negro preacher who delivered a sermon on 'Miracles.' 'My beloved friends and bredden," he said, 'de greatest of all miracles was about de loaves and fishes. Dey was five thousand loaves and two thousand fishes, and de apos'les bad to eat dem all. Now, de miracle was dat dey didn't bust.' "If this dinner doesn't end soon," said Mr. Talbert, laughing, "nothing but a miracle will save me." Thousands Sent Into Exile. t Every year a large number of poor sufferers whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to go to another climate. But this is costlv and rot always sure. Don't be an exile when Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption will cure you at home. It's the most infallible mediciie for Coughs, Colds, and all Throat and Lung diseases on earth. The first doee brings relief. Astounding cures result from persistent use. Trial bottles free at J. E. Kaufmann's. Price 50c and $1.00 Every bottle guaranteed. The Jenkins Sword. That a sword will be presented to Major Jenkins seems highly probable now. In different sections of the State a movement has been started with that end in view. Camp Micah Jenkins I*. C. V., has adopted resolutions appointing a committee to get nn snh<sf?ririfiri?-!ci anr? pnllmor nnnn other camps and organizations to join them. It may be that th? President will present the sword on the occasion of his visit to Charleston, but this has not been decided upon.

Sullivan, of Hartford, Conn., ecratched his leg with a ru9ty wire. Inflammation and blood poisoning set in. For two years he suffered intensely.

The ears are snatched from the stalky thrown in small heaps, and afterwards a wagon comes along and the ears picked up, thrown into the wagon and hauled away. The othei half of the crop is left to brave the weather aDd be consumed by wine and rait: and if any part of it remains when plowing time comes it is piled and burred to the detriment of the soil- The modern way is to reap the corn, as well as the wheat, and ir much the same manner, the machine cutting the stalks and tying in bun dies, ready to be set up in shocks The ears may be separated at an} time husked and shelled, or the husk : a ?u?n:?

Or the whole batch car be run through a shredder and made into hay, when it will be eaten up clean by the stock.

There ought tc be stock enough on the farm to consume all of this product. There is where the farmer's profit shoulc come from. True to Name.
