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

South Carolina, in the passage of the
pending bill, has been appointed a
member of the committee on the in

appointment being made at the re
quest of President RoosevSt.
Captain Capers will atend the ball,

shot him with a shotgun, the load en
tering his neck. 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.

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.

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. If »ot satisfactory when received, you can return at our expense and wo
will refund every cent paid. What fairer proposition could you ask? Our word—as the People’s National
