A Philadelphia dispatch says: United States Senator Tillman of South Car olina arrived here late today in com pany with his physician, Dr. J. W. Babcock of Columbia, S. C. Senator Tillman says he has been in ill health and that he came here for treatment. He says he will not enter a sanita rium, and states that his physician says he is suffering with the grip,•.but Senator Tillman thinks he has some thing more serious than the grit>.

Magistrate Cum mings was notified of the killing, and he summoned a jury of inquest, the verdict being ustifiable homicide. Mr. Bivens was in Columbia at the time. To Grow Grapes and Snk. A stock company has been formed in Charleston composed largely of Italian capital for the purpose of en gaging in the culture of grapes and siik. A tract of land of almost one thousand acres has been purchased at Ladson, which is now being set out with vines and mulberry trees. It will be two to three years before tho REBUKE PRESIDENT Want New Rail Connection. The Spartanburg chamber of com merce is still at work on the matter of another railroad connection for the city. The Seaboard Air Une officials, it is said, have manifested concern in the project and will cooperate if the citizens give proper inducements. Two plans are under advisement, one being that of a line from Spartan burg that will make connection with the Seaboard at Carlisle, and the other is building a forty-mil^ road from Spartanburg to Rutherfordton. where the same system can be reached. This will open for development a fine section of the country that is now inaccessible except by wagon roads. Shipment of Fertilizer Short. The movement of fertilizers out of Charleston this season is much below the usual shipment, and the result has been that there is a big reduction of employes at the mills. The dull ness of the market has caused the throwing out of work of more than SOO men, as a result of the large stock which is carried and the lack of de mand. this time of the year fertilizer is moving out at the rate of about 400 cats a day, while only *00 cars are now being sent out. The indecision of many farmers on the matter of the planting of cotton is responsible for the small demand for fertilizer. Inter-Urban Trolley Line. An inter-urban trolley line to con nect Union. Clinton. Laurens and Spar tanburg. is being agitated. The road suggested contemplates about sixty-six miles of line, in the shape of a double Y, that is two lines beginning at Un Ion and Spartanburg converge to a junction at or near Glenn Springs. Two other lines from Clinton and I^iurens converge to a junction in Laurens county, north of the straight line between those places. A connect ing line unites these junction points, thereby producing fairly direct trolley lines as follows: From Union to Lau rens, from Clinton to Spartanburg, from Clinton to Union, from Union to Spartanburg, from Spartanburg to Lau rens and from Laurens to Clinton, six lines in one. Woman Defends Her Home. A killing took place near Govhans this state, one morning the past week. A peddler named Greenberg fre quently visited the home of J. D. Biv ens, up to about a week ago K when he made advances to assault Mrs. Bis en«t and was arrested.’ He promised to pay a fine and leave the neigh borhood if they would free him. which was done. j Put lie returned fad entered the Senators Decide Against Him Anent Arbitration treaties.

MILES STILL MOUTHING. General Insists That He Had Author ity to Manacle Jefferson Davis. In a statement issued at Boston Thursday concerning the recent dis cussion of the imprisonment of Jef ferson Davis at Fortress Monroe in j ministration supporters, while even 1S65-66, General Nelson A. Miles says: ‘ Senator Lodge joined with them and ‘‘The matter has been agitated st different periods during the last forty years, but never before has it been liscussed in the halls of congress. As 'ar as my official action is concerned, t was directed by the highest author •ty; it received the approval of and aas never been questioned by my su neriors or the government. I have no apology to offer of any kind to any person. The charge that the acts it the highest officials of the govern ment or myself were prompted for the purpose of humiliating Mr. Davis, or the people who associated and sympathized with him, is" as puerile as it is utterly untrue. “It is to be regretted that the high officials, President Johnson, Secreta ries Stanton and Dana, Judge Advo cate General Holt and Major General Halleck are not living in order that they might answer the vicious vituper ation by which their names are now assailed. Still, I am sure that they acted in good faith, and as they be lieved for the best intetests of the country upon the information then in their possession and the condition of the country at -.-at time." MITCHELL DODGED STATUTES. Oregon Senator’s Partner Confesses He Comrr.itted Perjury. A special from Portland, Oregon, says: Judge A. H. Tanner, United S-tates Senator Mitchell’s law partner, confessed in Judge Billing’s court Sat urday afternoon to perjury In his evidence given before the federal grand jury in connection with the in vestigation of the land frauds, when testimony was being taken with a view to connecting United States Sen ator Mitchell with the conspiracy tc defraud the government. Tanner, in his confession, said that there was a business agreement be tween Mitchell and Tanner that Mitch ell Should have the proceeds of the practice of the law firm in the federal courts and that Tanner should have the proceeds resulting from practice before any of the governmental de partmeifts, which would involve Sena tor Miitchell’s oath that he would noi take part in any law proceeding in which the government is interested. CONFLAGRATION IN MOBILE. give utterance to h:s extreme grief •that the president should have taken the grounds he did. The fight started early. Shortly alter convening, Sena tor Cullom, chairman of the commit tee on foreign relations, called 1 4 an executive session. Everybody knew that this meant consideration of the arbitration treaties., this being taken up where it was left off Friday after noon. The senators did not know that Sen ator Cullom had in his possession a letter from the president urging hii= to ratify these treaties as negotiated, that is without the amendment unan imously reported by the committee, which changed the word “agreement” •to “treaty,” so as to provide that no matter should be submitted to arbi- traticn unless it was provided for in a separate executive “agreement” as the original draft sets forth. BuC while the senators did not know of this letter, which was regarded by Chairman Cullom as necessarily con fidential in its nature and only to be presented in secret session, very man> other people did know cf the letter and had read It, as copies, were given out at the white hc^se before the senate convened. Th(s action added fuel to the fire of disapproval. As the arbitration treaties have thus been amended by the senate commit tee on foreign relations, the interests of the southern states have been com pletely safeguarded. The democrats of the committee did not insist upon an amendment speci fically referring to the repudiated bond matter or to claims against states in just those words, for they found a Way to bring about the desired end, and at the same time secure the aid of the republican members of the com mittee in doing it. This is done by the amendment providing that in each case submitted to arbitration there shall be a separate treaty. TAFT WINS BEFORE COMMITTEE.

Read Our OfferLi Our great-grandfather, Colonel Joseph Williams, the revolutionary , hero, established this business, right on this spot, in 1768— more than 100 years before dealers advertising themselves as “old houses” dreamed of going into the whiskey business. Ours is the original mail order whiskey business, after which many small dealers pattern in an attempt toduplicate our success. They cannot compete with us in quality because they are not distillers, and in attempting to meet our prices they put on the market terribly injurious and dangerous concoctions— many which contain the deadly wood alcohol. Our business, our name and our whiskey have withstood all competition and criticism for almoet • Mil- j tury end a half—a record unparalleled In the business world. For four senerations our whiskey ha* been recognized as the purest and best possible to produce and during that time we have served and satisfied hundreds of thousands of customers. In order to increase our list of customers to one million and toeclipae al' past efforts during the next few months, we offer the following exceptionally low prices on our high grade whiskies for a short time only.
