TILLMAN'S VERSION.
His Account of the Encounter
"With McLaurin.
Greenwood, S. C , March 15.?D.
H. Magill, a lawyer of this place,
has received the following letter from
Senator Tillman in response to a letter
from him:
United States Senate,
Washingtor, D. C,
March J:, 1902.
Hon. D. H. Magill, Greenwood, S. C.
Dear Sir: I have your kind letter
of March 1st. In reference to the
expression used by me in my apology
to the senate, that "My previous service
a3 governor of South Carolina
for four years had unfitted me in a
measure to enter this august assem/
bly with the dignity and regard?
proper regard?I will say, for its
traditions and habits and rule3 that
is desirable,'' I woflld say that the
only reasonable construction to put
on the words and my meaning was
that when I was governor it was my
business to handle problems, many
of them very important, and without
consulting any one, and act entirely
on my own responsibility, and the
habit in mind which naturally resulted
from that manner of thought
and action and the work a3 executive,
unfitted me in a measure for service
here. None but a gangrened imagination
or some one anxious to misconstrue
wili think that I meant that
a governor of South Carolina cannot
be dignified and act with decency
and courtesy on all occasions. Things
are so different in the sena e that
I have never yet become used to
them.
While I am writing I wish to say
that my action here was a necessity
and while I regret as much as any
one that circumstances were of a
nature, so I had no alternative but to
strike my colleague, I believe my
action meets with the approval of a
large majority of the democrats*in
house and senate. Not that they approve
the giviDg of a blow in the
senate, but they think there was
nothing else to do, and had I taken
the lie my own self respect would
have been gone, and my service here
in the future of no effect.
So then, I have but one comment
to make in answer to newspaper
criticisms published in South Carolina.
It does look hard that when I
am making the beat fight I can
against the republicans here and acting
in thfl ^anacitv nf^nnfl nf thfl
--to ?sr J ? ?
fighters of the senate, delegated by
the democratic side to answer the
strongest republican, Senator Spooner,
on a party question, that some of
my own people, democrats in reality,
should stab me in the back while I
am engaged all along the line in
front by republicans. It, however,
demonstrates the fact that there are
some in South Carolina who are antiTiUmanites
first and democrats afterwards,
and will seize on any and
-everything to give me a stab. "We
will let that pass, though, and I will
go back to my people feeling as I
have felt for a long time, that I have
-the respect and support of a large
majority of them, and for those who
-are so narrow and prejudiced as to
*be unable to see any good in anything
that I do, I feel only contempt
and pity. The dinner incident was
not of my making and in that I have
no doubt as to the sentiment of the
folks at home. The statement has
been made that it was an official
dinner. This is untrue because Pierpont
Morgan, Robt. Lincoln and ten
or fifteen other private citizens were
invited. The invitation to me came
unsought. I had no Bpecial desire
to attend the function, but before I
had any notice whatever that it wa3
desired that mv acceptance be with
drawn the whole thing was ventilated
id the morning papers, and I was
thus notified publicly that the president
was to punish a senator before
the senate had taken action. Had
the president sent a mutual friend,
in a quiet way, suggesting that it
would be an awkward situation, any
man who knows me at all knows how
quickly I would have relieved him of
his embarrassment.
Thanking you for your kind letter
and with good wishes,

Thoughtless Husbands.
Men are loo prone to take things
for granted. The loving, cheery little
mother who never lets you see a
pout on her lips, who meets you as
you come from work with a smile
that hides her loneliness, is entitled
to just as much consideration today
as she was in the months before the
wedding. To imagine that she does
not care to hear you tell her you love
her, as you were so pleased and
proud to tell her before you took her
away from the old home, is to com
mit a fatal blunder. Look into her
eyes, maD, and see the love shining
there! Why, maD, she'd die before
she'd let vou know her heart was
withering. She'd die before she'd
tell you she remembered the days
you forgot to kiss her before you
went down town. She'd die before
she'd murmur because of your continual
fault finding. Some day you'll
remember all those things yourself.
They seem very trivial to you now.
But wait until you stand gazing into
the casket where lies the mother of
your children.

Five Negroes Silled.
Madrid Bend, Ky., March 21 ?
Law abiding citizens here have appealed
to the Governor in fear of
further trouble growing out of the
race war yesterday, as a result of
which foqr negroes are dead and one
is dying.
Elijah Drake, a negro, it is alleged,
was caught by whit6 men stealing
chickens. They attacked Drake and
drove him into the Mississippi river
and then shot him dead. The men
then attacked four other negroes living
in the neighborhood, who were
alleged to be implicated in the theft.
The negroes showed fight and in the
melee which followed, Jim Stewart, a
negro was shot aDd killed. The
three other unknown negroes were
beaten to death, two having since
died and the other is dying.
How to Cure the Grip.

to follow. That remedy counteracts

serious danger. Among the tens of
thousands who have used it for the

that did not recover. For

He is very tame. You can go up
to him and put your band on him
anywhere so you don't put it on his
pocketbook: he has under such conditions
been known to kick.

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.

blood purifiers, they fil

??? O blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
ihey had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned
blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their beginning
in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

I take great pleasure in giving the
very highest testimonial to Dr.
Baker's Blood and Liver Cure. I
used it in 1895 Icflammatory Rheumatism.
I was severely afflicted
with the disease and tried my family
physician, in addition to various
remedies, without effect. I procured
some of the above medicine, and before
using a bottle of it I could walk
without my crutches, and by the
time I had used a bottle and a half,
I felt entirely well, and have not
suffered any since. I cheerfully re
commend it, and believe it will do
ail its propietors claim for it.
