$ KUIITMANN-LITTLETON. The Mau Who Made Harry Thaw's Chief Counsel. r ;V In view of his connection with the now celebrated Thaw case in New Yprk it will be of considerable in terest to many to know that Martha W. Littleton, Thaw's chief counsel at tho second trial, was once inti mately associated with a former Wal halla boy. '.?: W, Kuhtmann, Esq., (VPuok" aa he was familiarly known here when he went to Newberry College,) practiced law at Minneola, Texas, for several years after leaving'here. It was there that he ran across Martin Littleton, then a railroad,man, and "Seeing something" in him, took him Into his office to study law. When Littleton was admitted to the bar, a partnership was formed under the ?tyle of Kuhtmann & Littleton, At torneys. This was back in the early eighties. Mr. Littleton later went to New York, Where he was but little heard of until McClellan was first elected M,ayor ot Greater New York. Then Littleton appeared on the scene as Borough President of Brooklyn. Since that time he bas figured more or less in political and legal affairs in New York and Brooklyn, but the now famous Thaw case has brought Jilin into greater prominence than any other incident in his career, j"- H. W. Kuhtmann has practically abandoned the practice of law. Some years ago he went to Weatherford, ' Texas, and is largely interested in financial matters, being associated with a dozen or more banks as presi dent, in each pf which he ls a large stockholder. He was, prior to his entry Into*the flnaiictat-ileroyconsid ered one of the brightest stars tn the legal furtos of the Lone Star ?tate. Reason Enthroned. Because meats, are so tasty they are consumed In great excess. This leads to stomach troubles, bilious ness and constipation. Revise your diet, let reason and not a pampered appetite control, then take a few doses of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets and you will soon be well again. Try it. For sale by Dr. J. W.

AS TO ?TATIC OFFICHW8. Representative Vernor Asks .Soma Very Pertinent Questions. i? Colombia, S. C., Feb. 3.-Special 1 am writing ibis letter to tell you of a condition of affairs now prevail ing in this state that ought not to The constitution of the State (Ar ticle II, Sec. 2.) reads: "No poison shall hold two offices of honor or, profit at the same time." Article iii, Sec. 24, reads: "No person shall be eligible to a seat in the General Assembly while he holds any office or position of profit or trust under this State, the 'United States of America, or any of them, or under any other power, except offices in the militia and notaries public; and if any member shall ac cept or exorcise any of tho said dis qualifying offices or positions he shall vacate his seat." In Article III, Seci ?6, we find the following: "Members of the General Assembly before they enter upon thu duties Of their respective offices, shall take and subscribe the follow? lng oath: 'I do voluntarily swear Hurt I am duly qualified,, according to thb constitution of thlb State, to exercise the duties or the office to which I have been elected, kud that 1 will, to the best of my ability, dis charge the duties thereof, and pre ?erve, protect and defend the consu mion of this State and the United States. Sr help me God.' " This oath is administered, to all memhars of the General Assembly. Now, how can a,member take this oath and'remain a member, and at the same time hold another office under the State, without .violating the constitution, is more than I cap i see, to say nothing as to whether or I not he violates his oath. The constitution (tho fundamental law of the land, the law above all other laws, the law with which all laws must comply or they are no laws at all), says: "No person shall hold two offices of honor. or profit at the same time." Again, "No, per son shall be eligible to a seat in tho General Assembly while he holds an office of trust under thia State." 7^ Now, of course*, the office of trus tee in a 3t-?te- college is an office p^t trust under the State; therefore tut) member of the Legislature who hvids the office of : trustee Is holding ;wo offices, and is thereby violating the constitution of the State, which he Is sworn tb preserve, protect and dc :eud. Now, there is a r em'ier of the Legislature who is also a trustee of Clemson College. Thi* member claims that he ls a life-time trustee, appointed under Clemson's will, and not a trustee under the State; that be ls a trustee under the will.- ls true, .mt the Supreme Court decided that Clemson is a State Institution. It would, therefore, ai ;>ea,r, that tm trustees of that college . would . bo trustees under the State, no mnttei how Uley became trustees, and are holding two offices under the state the office pf trustee in a State insti tution, and -the office of the State Legislature. " ^Senator Tillman is a trustee of Clemson College, and a trustee of Winthrop College. He is, therefore, ' olding three offices under the State, clearly in direct violation ?of the con stitution. ? Do you ask where the harm ia?? I answer, what do you expect of the so-called common people when those high In authority live dally In-knowp violation ot the chief law of the land? Again, do you think a /man has a j right to hold office in a public "col ; lege, and also have the right to a ?seat in the Legislature, where he can vote the public money to that col I lege? tl now have a resolution on the 1 calendar to look into this matter. It i seems very Important, especially as j the Legislature recently elected two I of Its members trustees of Clemson, giving that Institution three trus CAR I Horses a Every one good b to worK. 95 Hnrs?$ saw ww Suited to the trade Nice Drivers?

This certainly ls not done, as I can not find f rooi the Comptroller's office certain facta, about which the law gives every man the right to know.

Bald That Southern Railway Has Deeded Land to Clemson.
