The Auies letw n the lTill.iites
and the antiJ illnwi mites are as clearly
drawn as they evev were. 'I'lTe e has
been no burying of the hatchet, no
making up oi old quarrels since the
new administration came in. Te
policy of the administration does not
seem to have been cast with any viev
to winning friends from the opposition,
and with the exception of a few indi
viduals, it is probable that there has
been little change in the ranks of the
two factions since last summer's hot
fight.
In the endeavor to find how Gov.
Tillman's administration is pleasing
the people, I have been met with . iust
thiq state of affairs. The nen vio pit
Tillman in the gubernatorial chair are
disposed to yield unquestioiig sup
port to his adninistration. The men
who fought to keep him out of that
chair are inc-lined, as -; rule, to criticize
his actions very closely and to freely
impugn his motives. The vinegar aid
gall of the last cimpaign are too fresh
in memory to permit of perfectly til
Liased judgniit on either side.
There are,of course, many exceptions.
A considerable element of the opposi
tion to Tillman are disposed to hold off
and give him a chance to show what
he can do, allowing himti flull credit for
his good deeds and excusing wlat seem
to be errors rather of judgment than of
heart.
I thinIk 1 find here, however. a pretty
general adnission that, tte ''illman il
ministration has not differ( railically
one way or the other froin priceduing
administration-. It has liten a celui
sweep. About all the "its" av MOts,
certainly, and as miany "ortl " ar,41 inl as
could get there. Mut the State is get
ting along remiarkally well. There has
Leen no financiil uphliaval, in fact
South Carolina was never more pros
perons. Its id ustrial deuvlopinent has
not been checked oite iota, and lie in
tlow of capital and new population is
increasing. .N one of the "I ales (f woe,"
suing so ligubrioisly by itle extreine
opponents of Tihian have been real
ized. No sensib'e ittan ex pctvd that
they would lie. Only a return to earpt
bag rile would ci ck the State's mate
rial re-awakening.

giving his name as C. C. Lewis, on two
charges of horse stealing pending in
the courts of )allas, Texas, against
him. Ile kept the prisoner and the al
leged stolen stock in his possession and
charge for sonie hours. When he start
ed for Ilillsborro, some thirty miles dis
tant, for the purpose of reporting to
Sheriff Cox wit I his booty, Lewil suc
ceeded in convincing t he constable that
it was all a mistake about hil, having
stolen the property, and on his trip to
IHillsboro McClusky omitted 0 hand
culf his prisoner. Tho olicer necked
the t,wv alleged stolen horses together,
placed his prisoner on one and rode
the other himselt. After they had
traveled a short distance Lewis, who
was much larger than the ollicer, sud
denly turned i his saddle and dealt
I McCluskey a blow with his list which
for the time being rendered him un
conscious. and also dismounted him.
Lewis then dismounted, secured the
- olicer's pistol and proceeded to beat
him up in an unmerciful manner. Con
stable McCluskey regaining his senses,
an( linding his pistol gone, pleadet

later finally desisted from his blows,
I covered the oilcer with his pistol he

a pair of handcuffs from his pockets
