Tillman, of this State, which ls attracting the attention of the whole nation Just at present, is one to be deeply regretted by a!', and more particularly by the people of tho South. Coming up at this time as it does, Just as the South is beginning to regain some of her lost prestige in the councils of tho nation, lt ls doubly unfortunate. Probably no Southern man has done more than Mr. Tillman to pave the way for the South's resumption of her old place In national affairs. Just what there really ls in the Presi dent's Oharges against South Caro lina's senior Senator remains to bc brought out by a fuller investiga tion of the whole affair by the com mittee. When this ls done we feel sure that Senator Tillman's position will net be more compromising than that of many other men occupying the same high position in the General Qo vern ment. We have never admir ed nor supported Mr. Tillman ns partisan or enthusiast, yet we are free to say we must have more than the President's suspicions of him to convince us thal he I? guilty of a very grave offense. The bare state ments mnde, looking at them from the President's standpoint, Indicate, beyond question, a very compromis ing situation for Mr. Tillman. Still the circumstances of the case are such that they may be readily ex plained, and satisfactorily, if Mr. Tillman ls free from the taint of wrong. We are Inclined to the belief that Mr. Tillman has struck the keynote of the situation when he says there is "malice" in the matter-not that the President has hounded down Tillman for malicious reasons and attempted to fasten on bim the odium of a private wrong attempted through public position, bul that he has slanted graft and possible cor ruption, and jumped al the opportu nity to connect Tillman with it, and that he has possibly let his personal animosity for the South Carolina Senator gel the upper hand of his bel tor Judgment. Tl two-Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Tillman are men of much the same character, blustering, plain spoken, rather suspicious, honest in the main, yet not blind to their own * interests. Roosevelt's charge and Tillman's d?tense will be heard of foi' a long time lo come. The end ls not yet nearing, Hitter, relent less, high-strung and bull-headed, they are well matched, and we m ny look for a hattie of words, charges and counter charges of "suspicions'' and "unwarranted" acts until the matter ls cleared away. While the whole affair ls unfor tunate In the manner of its bringing to light, yet ?here Is every reason to believe that the final outcome will be beneficial in Hs results toward purifying certain questionable ten dencies at the National Capital. There ls too much apparently pri vate interest interwoven Into public affairs. The "Oregon land grab" should be probed to the very center, as should also certain mysterious deals in connection with the great work on the Panama Canal and other matters that should be strictly pub lic, yet which have many "private Strings" attached. lt would seem that the manufac tuie of good seasonable weather has become one of the lost arts. There ls not a vacant store room in Walhalla to-day. Speaks pretty well for the new year, doesn't lt? ? * . . . And Boozetanooga trembles! The State-wide prohibition bill has passed thc Tennessee Senate by a vote of 20 to 13. Thc Courier would bc delighted to have Hon. J. P. Carey, of Plckens. elevated to the Supreme Bench of this Stale. Not only that, but we be lieve the General Assembly could not do better than elect him to th?; Chief Justiceship. He ls eminently fitted for thc highest position in tho judicial branch ot th?- government. ***** Around Walhalla are grown some of the llnest specimens of garden and field crops we have ever seen. Why not keep your weather eye on the alert, and as you And something that ls a worthy representativo of your crops or your handiwork in any line, send it for the exhibit at Seneca. There ls a lot of good to be derlvod from such an enterprise, and our friends at Seneca should he given an opportunity to display articles from every section of Oconee. CARMICHAEL DID MT DDI li. Preacher Thuoght to Ito Murdered Tm ns Out to lie Murderer. Carthage, 111., Jan. ll.-Hov. John H. Carmichael, who wa? thought at first to have been murdered at tho Hattie Run church, lu Michigan, by Qideon' Browning, was found here and confessed to the murder of Browning last Tuesday night, later cut bl? throat In a boarding house, and died her? at noon to-day. Told Details of ('time. Carmichael was found in the toilot room of Minindi Hughes's boarding house, after he had attempted to etd his life. He left a letter, in which he confessed that he was the man who killed Browning, giving the de tails of tho crime. Carmichael ar- i rived at the boarding house Friday j night, and expected to leave this j morning tor Bowen, Iowa, according to the story told the people in the boarding ?ouse. He was taken Into ustody early to-day, after he cut hi throa. Car michael made two wounds In Iiis neck. A letter of ten pages was written by Carmichael before he attempted suicide, admitting his identity and confessing that be killed Brownng, cut up his body and burned lt lu the stove. Carmichael had been staying here for the last two days at a p Ivate boarding hou->e. Ho has a sister living here, but he has not been with her to any extent. Carmichael, In lils letter, admitted his Identity and declared that he killed Browning and cut up tho body while under the hypnotic influences of his wife. Tho lengthy confession, which was addressed to a Mr. Waggonsteiii, of Port Huron, Mich., recounts that be had fallen under the hypnotic Influ ence of his wife and Browning, and that the latter had so completely gained control of his actions that he (Carmichael) in a moment of des peration, seeking lo free himself from Browning's awful Influence, threw a hatchet at him, knocking him down, that he then stabbed him, and iu a desperate struggle with the hypnotist finally overpowered Browning and killed bim, attempting to cut his body to pieces and burn lt, piece by piece, In the church stove. He also started to ' burn Browning's clothing, hut finding lils i own clothes spattered with the blood of lils victim, he burnt lils own clothing, and appropriated Brown lug's for the purpose of making his escape. lt was the fact of finding ? the burned body and Carmichael's clothes stuffed Into the stove that at first pointed to the murder of Rev. | Carmichael by some unknown party. I Statement by Preacher's Wife. Adair. Mich.. Jan. ll.-"Really, really. Have they really found him?" was Mrs. Carmichael's exclamation, when (old that her husband had been found In Carthage, 111. She took the news calmly; in fact, seemed re lieved to know thal the much-sought man had been located. . "1 know of no reason why he should have gone to Carthage," she continued. "He had no relatives ?there, and no friends that 1 ever ! knew of. 1 never heard of Carthage before, and know nothing of the J place." When told that her husband, in lils letter, said that he had commit ted the murder of Browning while under her hypnotic lnhunuce, Mrs. j Carmk hatd declared that she knew nothing of hypnotism; that her husband, so far as she knew, was also ignoran! of it. and that hypno tism had never been discussed in ( t bel r home. "I never saw a person hypno tized," she said, "and know abso lut? ly nothing about the practice. And, If my husband made such a .statement in a letter, I cannot Imag ine the reason for it." Secs Motlier Grow Vonni;. "lt would be hard to overstate the wonderful change In my mother since she began to use Electric Bit ters." writes Mrs. W. I.. Gilpatrlck, of Dan forth, Me. "Although past 7 o she seems really to be growing young a:;ain. She suffered untold misery from dyspepsia for 20 years. At last she could neither eat, drink nor sleep. Doctors gave her up, and all remedies failed until Electric Bitters worked such wonders for lier health."
