Holleman, of Anderson, is an applioant fe . tho position of State Hank Kxaminor, , a offioo croatod by the Gone ral Assembly at its session just closed. Sir. Pollemau is so woll and favorably k no w.? to tho pooplo of Oconee that ho needs no recommendation at our hands. Ho is a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hollo man, of Walhalla, and was born and reared to young manhood lu our midst. As an accurate, painstaking and thor oughly compotout business man he has no superior, and his experience of somo ten years or more in thu hanking businoss tits him particularly for the position to which he aspires. Search the State ovor and we do not believe a more comp?tent or thoroughly equipped man for tho place could he found. Mr. Holloman is re ceiving tho solid endorsement of the business people of Oconoo, who will he gratified to learn of his success in secur ing the position of Statu Hank Kx aminor for South Carolina. Wo most heartily recommend him, not alone for (tis business qualifications, but from a Standpoint Of his strong personality and high character as well. As Mr. Holleman is an old Oconee hoy lit is a pleasure for us to noto and repro duce hore the editorial endorsement given bim hy the Anderson Daily Mail. Itsays: "The announcement that Lee G. Ilollo tnan is an applicant for the position of I State Hank Kxaminor will causo general interest, and it will ho tho wish of all thc people of Andorson that ho will ho ap pointed. "Mr. Holleman is admirably equipped] for tho position. Ho is an export ac countant of fifteen years' experience, and his service of six years aa assistant cashier of (ho People's Hank of this city has given him thorough oxporieuce and familiarity with all tho principles and details of successful and safe banking. Ho is painstaking and thorough and conscientious and we do not boliovo a better man could bu fouud|for tho posi tion in the State. "Mr. Hnllotnau's popularity boro in Anderson is unbounded. He has twice been elected as a mombor of tho city .council from his ward without opposi tion, and if it were lort to tho peoplo of Anderson he could got any position that tie might ask for. "Ho will have tho solid backing of the banking interostsi and tho peoplo of this city, and ho will have other strong sup port; friends will exert evory effort to have him appointed, and lhere is every reason to believe that they will succood." Tho peoplo of Oconee and Anderson aro as ono in their hearty and conscien tious endorsement of Mr. Holleman. Hoth Ooonee and Anderson aro proud to honor him, and each feels that Mr. Holloman will honor her and her people. Lame Back. This ailment is usually caused hy rheu matism of the muscles and may he cured i>v applying Chamberlain's Pain Halm two or three times a day and ruhhing the parts vigorously at each application. If <his does not afford relief, hind on a piece of lianne! slightly dampened with Pain Hahn, and quick relief is nlmost sure to follow. For salo hy J, W, Holl, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. Opposition for Tillman. Columbia, February 17, - .V political ?pot has recently been set to boiling with A view to serving up tho candidacy of Goorgo H. Cromer, formerly President of Newberry College, hut now a member of tho Newberry har, for tho United States .Senate to heat Senator Tillman. Mr. Cromer is a man of great ability and ts more or less a jiu ist, as will he remem bered from his controversy last summer ?with Senator Tillman over tho dispensary situation. There aro thoso who think Tillman can he heaton this time on ac count of his dabbling in dispensary affairs, but lt cannot be denied that ho .still has a great hold on the people of tho State. Another possible opponent of Tillman is H. I). Smith, of tho South ern Cotton Association. Death ol Rev. N. L. Wiggins. ?reenvllle, February 17.-Uov. N. L. Wiggins, tho newly appointed pastor of Ht, Paul Mothodist church', died to-day after an illness covering tho entire pei nul of his residence in this city. Ho did not occupy his pulpit a singlo time sinco bis appointment to thischargo in Docom bor. Hov. Mr. Wiggins came to Greenville from Cameron, his late charge Sinco ho bad boon in Greenwillo bo had made many friends, notwithstanding tho fact he was too ill tho groator portion of tho time to loave his home. He is survivod by bis wifo and two children. THE LAW-MAKERS ADJOURN. Brief Return? of the Work Tho Appropria tions Amount to $1,306,000. The session of the General Assembly closed with the legislative day of Satur day, February 19, but, as a matter of fact, the Anal adjournment was an nounced at 3.80 o'clook Sunday morning. The last three days and ulghts of the session were very trying on the members and put their physical endurance to a severe test. Kvery one bari something that he waa anxious to get through or something that he wantod to defeat. It waa Black Friday iu both houses on secoud read lt g bills last Friday. About ono hundred, of more or less importauce, wore swept from the ca.endars in each house iu a very few minutes. Some of those that were killed woro of real merit and should havo been disposed of ou their merits, but so much of the time of the session was consumed in the speeches on the liquor question that there was little time to give to othor mat ters, in our judgmout of more import ance to tho average citizen and the State. Thero were sovoral propositions to amend the stock law sn as to include domostio fowls within its terms, but nothiug was accomplished, and tho chick may continuo to roam at will. It was couteuded by many that the law wac at present sufticiont to include fowls and it is probable that this had a good doal to do with tho non-action. Tho reformatory bill dually got through, hut is a very unsatisfactory piece of patch-work. Thoro is $4,5(X) ap propriated at present to establish it and bogin work. The diroctors are to locate it wherever they eau got tho best advant ages and tho greatest amount of local private subscription. Tho only radical chaugo in this law is that it gives a boy or his parout or guardian tho right to commit him to this reformatory or indus trial school until ho is twonty-ono years old, providod the commitment is ap proved by a Circuit Judgo. In caso a boy is convicted of cime bo may bo vol untarily committed to this institution, and in such casu tho sentence is romittod. Tho hill providing that an illegitimate child should inherit from its mot her and tho mother from bor child becamo a law. It provides also that each may suo for damages on account of the death of the othor caused hy tho wrongful or negli gent act of another. Tho establishment of a board of par dons is another important law. This creatos three moro otlices without any dual power. Wo aro very much in favor of a board of pardons, but undor the pro visions of our constitution thoro could bo uo power givou this board oxcopt to recommend to tho Governor. We tried to get such a chango iu the constitution aa would givo them such power as tho Goneral Assembly may confer, but this failed. Tho present board aro appointed by tho Governor aud will necessarily be to some extent of his way of thinking, and, of course, makosa divided responsi bility that may be unwholesome. Wo hopo that it will work well, but doubt tho wisdom of it. The law creating the oftico of Bank Examiner is an important pioco of legis lation for tho bauks and the depositors. Tho salary of the Bank Examiner and his assistants is to be paid by tho banks. A bill passed the House reducing the passengor faro on railroads to two and a half cents a milo, but it failed in tho Sen ate for the lack of time. The bill converting tho South Carolina College into a university passed. This makes no change in tho cost of maintaiu ing tho institution nor in tho curriculum. Tho penalty on common carriers for confiscating freight hold by thom for transportation was increased to ton times the value of tho freight. Thia legisla tion was in response to tho domand from tho factories, complaining that tho rail roads wero confiscating thoir coal in transit. The sum of $500 was appropriated to mark tho Kravo of Gen. Thomas Si.ru tor with a suitable mouumout. This State will bo represented at tho Jamestown Exposition in Virginia next year at a cost of $20,000. Tho Sonate passed tho bill which carriod $3<>,<>?H), though thero wore eight of us who did not htdieve in taxing the pooplo for such a purpose. Tho bill which sought to utilizo the oonvict labor for making fortili/.or to be sold to the farmers at small pro At Instead of raising cotton, failed. Thoro aro not near so many convicts in tho penitentiary now as a few years back. Many of thom are now hired to tho counties to work on roads. Thoro is a contract to furnish tho hosiery mill in the penitentiary 300 convicts and this keeps tho supply noarly exhausted. For those hands the State gets only ">o cents a day for men and 85 couts n day for women. Thoso hands have to work in tho mill ono month bc foro they pay anything for thom. This is called "green time." Tho bill to limit tho hours of work for railway omployoos oporatiug traius and Station agents again failod. This mea sure has boen proposed for many years and in ono way or another tho railroads havo succeeded in dofoating it. The "hucket shop" bill, as it is called, failed for lack of timo. This mensuro proposed to provont tho dealing in cotton futuros. Tho efforts to provont tho special courts all failed, oxcopt that thoro was no appropriation to pay thooxponsos of such courts. Some think that to stop tho pay is the surest way of stopping tho oxtra courts. Tho bill providing for tho inspection of oils failed on account of lack of time. Thoro was no dispensary legislation, but the old board of diroctors was turned out and a new set put in. The new men all stand high an citizens and they, with their friend?, are pledged to pare off the graft, otherwise called stealing, from the dispensary. The crushing defeat of the only one of the old board, who wanted vindication, is a warning that is believed will purify the dispensary dealings aud put it on a business plane. This General Assembly has created several ofticoB and raised many of the salaries. 1 he general and legislative appropria tions make a total o ?1,806.000. The expenses of the State government have steadily increased for the past six or eight years. It has inoroaaed over 50 per cent since 1802, when the watch WOK' was reform. Tho total appropriation!* for 1802 were $803.710 ft?. The increase this year over last year is $42.816-31. At a rule the House is more economical than the Senate, but it was not so this time. Tho Senate, in many instances, reduced the amounts that passed the H o uso. Respectfully. J. R. Earle. Pat Crowe Acquitted. Omaha, Nebraska, February 17.-Fat Crowe, oharged with the robbery of Edward A. Cudahy, the Omaha packer, of $25,000 in connection with the kidnap ping of Mr. Cudahy'ssou, five years ago, was acquitted this afternoon. The jury was out fifteen hours. Tho kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy De cember 10, 1000, and his releaso upon pay mont by his father of $25.000 ransom, created a great sensation*, and the search for the kidnappers was stimulated at tho time by tho offer of $50,000 by Mr. Cudahy. Last Octobor Crowe was arrosted in Hutte, Montana. He was put on trial February 7. Thore was no evuh nco positively to identify Crowe as ono of tho kidnappers. (?rave Trouble Foreseen.

Young, of Clay, N. Y., did. She says: "I had neu ralgia of tho liver and stomach, ray heart was weakened, and I could not eat.
