Lawsuit Certainly, Fortune Maybe.
Union special of March 31, to the
Columbia State. Mr. and Mrs. V. E.
DePass returned yesterday* from Los
Angeles, Cal., where Mr. DePass had
gone as attorney for Mrs. John Uppkins
and her son, C. C. Alexander, who
it is alleged was left an estate of $142,_
000. Mr. DePass, when seen this evening,
said that he had gone there and
had gone over very minutely everything
connected with the estate, and
that he had seen the only other will
said to have been left by Charles Hill
alias "Salem Charley," and that it was
really written with a lead pencil on a
very ordinary piece of paper and that
it was dated subsequent to the Hop "
kins will. He compared the signatures
and writing and so far as human eye
could discern they were the same. He
stated positively that there were no
other papers or will, but that alleged
Massachusetts heirs claim the estate.
Mr. DePass seemed of the opinion that
the heirs from Masscachusetts were after
the wrong man, but thought the
two wills were wills of the man who
died there some years back, and so far
- as was commonly known had not a
cent. However, he had a vault In one
of the banks with two keys to it, one
held by the bank authorities, the other
by Hill. When Hill died the key was
turned over to the public administrator,
who with the bank officers opened
the vault and found the $142,000 in
spot cash. If it is true, as is said in
** Los Angeles, that Hill on his dying
bed stated that he had no relatives, the
alleged heirs are after the wrong man.
Mr. DePass says that after a consultation
with the attorneys for Mrs. Drucilla
Driggs, who holds the alleged will,
the hearing of the case was postponed
from May 12 to some time in the summer.
This is about all the attorney
would divulge at present.

Columbia correspondence News an-1
Courier: Mr. W. B. Smith Whaley and
the other officers of the Olympla, Granby
and Richland cotton mills have
closed a contract for a steel hull, sidewheel
freight boat, to have a carrying-capacity
of 200 tons, and to "be ready
for use on November 1. The boat is to
be used for the carrying of cotton
goods to Charleston for shipment north
via the Clyde Line, and will cut freight
rates in half. The officers, who are also
interested in the Columbia and
Georgetown Steamboat company, decided
upon this a short time ago and
the contract was given out in the past
* few days to the Stevens-Merrill Engineering
company, of Jacksonville, Fla.
The boat will be known as the Washington
A. Clark and will be 185 by 50
v feet, a double-decker, the lower deck
being for freight and the upper for pilot
houses. The hull will be of steel
and the boat will draw three feet of
water when loaded to its full capaci'y, i
200 tons. The speed of the Washing
ton A. Clark in sun water is guaiau- ,
teed to be twelve miles an hour. The
? boat will cost $40,000. The boat will <
be used for the exclusive shipment of
cotton goods north by water, although,
of course, on the return trips other
freights will be carried. By this route
it is estimated that cotton goods, which
are now shipped north by rail at 41
cents a hundred, will cost about 30 <
cents. As the same men interested in
the Columbia and Georgetown Steam- i
boat company are building this boat i
" there will, of course, be no competition
between the two, as it is thought
that freight shipped to Columbia as
soon as river navigation is open will
require several more boats, and the
Washington A. Clark on the down trip
will be used only for cotton goods.
Tillman In Charleston.
Senator Tillman was entertained In
j Charleston this week and was the
guest of honor at a banquet at the
Charleston hotel, Wednesday nighr.
According to the News and Courier, he
spoke briefly on the occasion. His remarks
are- synopsized as follows. He
*4 Vk ^ ^ oa ho o*iioat nt
SU1U lie uau tunic UVIV vu? o
the Medical college faculty, and he
added that It afforded him great pleasure
to meet the people of the city once
more. "I have had the pleasure and
displeasure of visiting Charleston on
many occasions and under many different
auspices," he said, "and in my
time I have had unique experiences
. here. I appreciate the courtesy extended
to me, however, and I can only express
the hope that if we did have any
unpleasantness in the past it has all
disappeared. I want to say in justice
to myself that I have been misunderstood
by the people of Charleston. Therevolution
of 1890 was run on the principle
that there were other parts of
South Carolina besides Charleston. I
thought that the rest of the state had
been in obscurity long enough. But I
never tried to Injure your city. I never
allowed myself to forget Charleston, or
the part she had taken in shaping the
history of the state. I had to fight
you because you fought me. (Applause.)
In that respect I was like the
man who was once taken prisoner by
the Indians. They were escorting him
t to the place where he would furnish
the amusement for the dance of death,
but he remembered that he had a bot
tie of whisky In his pocket, ana ne
quickly got them drunk. Afterwards,
he said that he had killed as many of
them as they had killed him. And this
warrants me in Saying that I whipped
you as often as you whipped me.
When I was governor, I was not allowed
to deal with you like other sec
tions of the state. You were so much
in love with yourself down here that
"ah onnl/ln'f cao hovnnd Tan-milA Will.
,7 vu VVUIUII v PVV mvj
and you didn't seem to know that there
was anybody else in South Carolina.
If I had" to '->sort to harsh methods, it
was only done to carry out the law. I
want to claim for myself that since I
-have been in the United States senate,
I have tried to represent South Carolina
as a whole, and to look to the best
interest of every community. If I have
helped Cl&rleston, it was simply a^
matter of duty and not because I was'
trying: to get you to change your attitude
toward me. I didn't care whether
you gave me your votes or not. I never
wanted your support unless I could
get it with your own consent. If I can
ever serve Charleston. I trust that you
always find me ready to do it. I bear
no ill-will to you. I want to say once
and for all that I recognize you as
South Carolinians and I hope you recognize
me as one. I have great love
for Charleston, just as I have a pride
in the entire state. But at the same
time you must remember that you are
not the whole shooting match down
here."

that my work will compare favorably
with that of any photographer in this

developing, retouching and finishing,
thereby obtaining the best possible results.
