Tillma? has boycotted the Colum? bia State, in that he will no longer fur? nish that paper with any news he may t^viayo. that is not of public record. The Siatz has repeatedly brought to light the weaknesses and deceits of the GovornOr, .which have been borne fairly well by this worthy up to date, but at last the "straw" has been found that "broke tho ^"camel's back." The State gave to the public the faot that his Excellency was not able to resist the "bamboozling and debauching" in? fluences of the offer of a free pass. The same paper asserts that the Gov? ernor pays no express charges on agri? cultural products sent from his farm in ? Edgefield for his use in Columbia or for sale there. Just recently the "reform" and "re? trenching" Governor has been shown to bo more of a "blowing" reformer than a bona fide one. For instance, the Gov? ernor has a fund of S500 at his disposal for "repairs, improvement, insurance and lighting the Executive mansion." Tho Comptroller General's report shows that up to-September 10th the Governor had spent ?11.51 more than had been al ?:? "lowed him. It is interesting to note how the ?511.51 of the people's money was spent. Here are some of the items: Flowers, flower seed, flower pots, and express on same, ?50.10. Why shouldn't the News and Courier now use a pet phrase of Till man and ?peak of "that sweet-scented Governor?" Pictures, hanging same and express on same, ?90. Of course the mansion is "improved" in appearance by the pictures, but would Till man have spent this amount of his ?'? private funds for beautifying his own house? "Joggling board," ?5.00. Did the Governor's family have such a luxury when they lived at Roper's? Combs, ?1.50. Of course tho Governor might have paid for these combs out of his ?3,500 salary, but the economical "re? former" would not have saved ?1.50 for himself by so doing. Dish pan, 50 cents. The people don't mind paying 50 cents for,a dish pan for the Governor's use, but very few of his supporters ever ex? pected that they would be called on . to do so. Thoy had a right to suppose ho would find his salary large enough to meet these little bills, for he declared before he was elected that the Governor's salary should be reduced a ?1000 or ?1500. The Governor seemed to bo quite com " piacent, even in tho faco of these facts, but some of us suspected that he was writhing all the samo. A more recent exposure of his insincer? ity, both of word and action, has angered him and made him show he feels the keen thrusts of the bolts fired vt him. ^T^nswas a publication of tho tax return , made by the Governor, the items of which are rather low. For instanc, he returned his cows at an average of ?10.77 each, but sold a dozen of th?so samo cows to the Asylum, which institution he controls, at - an averago of ?3G.8G each. Perhaps the most reprehensible charge against the Governor is, that notwith? standing he refused to sign tho resolution extending the time for payment of taxes, " thereby hoping to force taxpayers to pay up. whether they woro then able or not, yet he himself had not paid bis taxes up to the middle of tho month. Strange that tho Governor of tho great State of South Carolina should prescribe a standard for - tho' pec pio to follow below which he falls so far shor.. What do you think of Governor Till man? Is he a "reformer?" Did he act fairly with the tux-payers of the State ? Has he proven himself the man he claim |_____p his campaign ho would be, or hat PyLmrtoH wero led to believe ho BfettJ^' c h arg 0 REORGANIZING THE PARTY.

John L. M. Ibbt, Chairman State Democratic Executive Committee._ Dreamed of a Pot of Gol d. Petersbulg, Ya., January 16.?Some time ago Mr. Isaao Robinson, a wealthy citizen of this place, died very suddenly, leaving an estate valued at over $150,000. He left several children, among whom was Mrs. Jacob Dryfoos, of Radford, this State, and Mr. Jacob Isaao Robiuson, of this city. Recently for threo consecutive nights Mrs. Dryfoos dreamed that her father had buried on a lot on Old street in this city a jar containing a large sum of money and gold. Mrs. Dryfoos acquainted her hus? band of her dreams, and the two became so impressed that Mr. Dryfoos came here Monday last, and in company with bis brother-in-law, Mr. Robinson, made search for the supposed hidden treasure. After a good deal of digging no trace of the gold could be found. Last night Mr. Robinson resumed the search, aud was rewarded by finding the jar of gold. According to Mr. Robinson's statement there was a very large amount of money in gold in the jar, but he de? clines to say how much. To-day he says he forwarded half of tho money to his sister, Mrs. Dryfoos, and kept the other half himself. Poison In Whiskey. Macon, Ga., January 11.?Hon. P. C. Foster of this place, came very near being the victim of a poisoner yosterday morn? ing. 'Ho drank whiskoy which had been doctored by the wife of a negro who is in Mr. Foster's emplo}'. The negro and his wifo had quarreled the day before and she threatened to kill him. Saturday night, as the negro was leaving for his wife's home Mr. Foster instructed him to purchase a bottle of whiskey and bring it to him tho next morning. Tho negro did as directed, took it homo with him and placed it on his mantelpiece. He took the whiskey with him the following morning and handed the bottle to Mr. Foster, from which ho took a drink, giv? ing the negro ono also. They were soon made deathly sick and a physician was called in, who examined the whiskoy and found match heads and other poisonous stuff in it, put there by the woman to kill her husband and not Mr. Foster. Mr. Foster is considered out of danger and the negro is all right. Tho woman has been arrested and put in jail for attempting to kill her husband. Shot Down in the Act. Laurens, January 14.?One of the in? cendiaries was shot down last night. He was Laurens Thompson, a nogro about I 20 j'ears old. James Owens Richardson killed him while he was attempting to set fire to tho Richardson boarding houso. This house was sot on tiro on Thursday last, and the particulars were published in the News md Courier. Owing to tho efficient flro Tiepartmont tho attempt proved futile. Since that time Mr. Rich? ardson has boon keeping watch over the promises. Last night about 12 o'clock Mr. Rich? ardson saw some one removo the lock aud enter tho cellar, the placo whoro tho fire originated before. Mr. Richardson got his gun and hid behind the steps for a few moments. Ho saw tho person poke his bead out of tho door and come out for a few soconds aud return. Mr. Richard? son then wout to the cellar door, and as tho negro camo out ho discharged both barrels of his shotgun. Tho negro jump? ed behind tho dour. As Mr. Richardson pushed tho door away tho nogro grabbed him ana Mr. Richardson drew his pistol and shot him five times, rofljled his pistol and shot throe more. At tho Bovoutlr shot the nogro fell. Thompson had a champagne bottle with koroseno in it, and was evidently waiting for tho rest of his party, whom Mr. Richardson says ho hoard run as ho shot. Mr. Richardson and some of the police had boon shadow? ing Thompson since Thursday last. The verdict of tho jury at the inquest was justifiable homicide Drs. Dial and Aiken examined the remains and found twenty wounds. Sheriff Ballew, Rich? ardson and his attornoy, Colball, left on the 0 o\:lock p. m., train for Columbia to get bail forRichardson.?5>cc,crt to News and Conr'i'r0l^Lt ?

In many localities in the South it is feared that tho wholesale merchants will press the country merchants, and causo thorn to resort to extrcmo measures in tho matter of collections, thus forcing tho farmers to tho walL Tho Grenada, Miss., Sentinel, ha3 a I thoughtful editorial on tho subject, which is strongly endorsed by tho Memphis Commercial. The trouble is, according j to our contemporaries, that tho wholesale merchants, feeling tho stringency of the times, but not understanding tho pocu liar condition of affairs, will yield to a panicky apprehension and proceed to cocrco immediate settlements from tho country dealers. But, concludes tho Sentinel, "if the jobber and'hisjeustoruor could be brought into a relation of great? er confidence and thorough comprehen? sion of existing conditions, tho groat clangors which threaten many of the southern merchants can bo largely avert? ed,'' and our esteemed contemporary ar? gues that "tho wholesale merchant should recognize the full truth and help out their counfty customers. Let tho matter of threatened protests of paper and tho mad rush for attachments bo put out of sight for awhile, and let sympathy and co-ope? ration and honest confidonco and help bo the watchwords for a time. Sixty or ninety days would save many a merchant now hanging back with all his might and main from tho chasm of commercial failure, and who is growing gray in his anxiety and efforts to save himself, his creditors and his estate from sacrifice and destruction. Wo are satisfied that tho wholesale merchants, as a class, would bo wise, prudent and generous did they bnt understand the peculiar condition of bus? iness now heavily felt in southern mer? cantile lines." This is good advice, and so far as wo have bcon informed, it is tho lino of con? duct adopted hy tho wholesale houses in Atlanta and other cities in Georgia. The city merchants arc ablo to stand by their customers who need and deserve help, and they will do all that can reasonably be expected. This will mako it possible for tho country merchants to accommo? date tho farmers, and mutual forbearance and help all along the lino wilf'savo tho South from the worst of the evils that go along with hard times. But distrust, hurried collections and compulsory methods will destroy credit everywhere and spread a general paralysis throngout every circlo of commercial industries. We are all in the same boat and must help each other.?Atlanta Constitution. The Earth Shook. Gadsden, Ala., January 12.?Tom Burgess and John Jones camo into tho city Monday morning and gavo a most vivid description of the frightful distur? bance which created so much consterna? tion and wonder in this section of country last Saturday night. They were out hunting in the woods east of Gadsden, when, atabout 8 o'clock, tho heavens wore suddenly illuminated with a lurid and ghostlv light. They quickly looked upward, whon they saw a largo ball of fire in the air, which was approaching them at a rapid rate. It was about twice as largo as a man's head, and almost at a white heat. As it passed within a few yards of thorn, it made a loud, whizzing noise, and they felt the I heat from it very sensibly. It approachod nearer and nearer tho ground until it passed out of sight. In a few seconds they heard the tremendous report, which shook the whole country for miles around, and created great con stornation among tho people. Our informants stato that thoy wore too badly frightened to lollow it up Saturday night, but early Sunday morning they went to tho place where they lust saw it and soon found whore tho moteor had struck the earth and plowed up a furrow about ns large as a flour barrel and three or four feet deep, and then camo out of the earth and struck a largo pine tree, about six feet from the ground, shivering the tree, when it exploded, scattering its fragments in every direction, cutting down small growth and tearing up the ground considerably. A fow pieces of the matter wero found so firmly imbedded in the tree that thoy could not get them out. Tho pieces thny found did not look like anything they had over seen, and smolt strongly of burning sulphur. The explosion was heard distinctly for a distance of seventy-five miles in every direction, and the concussion shook up things considerably. The houses shook and rocked as if by an earthquake. Ta? ble ware and bric-a-brac woro shaken down and broken, and tho people were badly frightoned. Tho superstitious negroes wore so bad? ly frightened that they sang and prayed all night, and declared that tho world was coming to au end. Man}' and varied arc tho stories told, but the above arc tho facts as near as your reporter could learn them. Several Trains Taken OIF. The serious depression of tho money market and tho stagnation of all business is having its effect on tho railroads, and tho Richmond and Danville system seems to be suffering badly from this cause. The South Carolina and Columbia and Greenville divisions espeoially have felt the total stoppage of all lreight shipmonts, and Superintendent Dodson has decided to meet the difficulty in the only way possible Ho says that no guano and lumber are now being shipped anywhere, and there is nothing for the freight trains to do. This timo last year five trains were trav? eling over *he C. & G. division, whilo now one train overy other day does all the business necessary. As matters now stand tho road cannot pull through the next month, and there? fore Superintendent Dodson has decided to tako off three froight trains at once? ono "through" and ono "local" on tho C. & G. and ono "local" on tho C, C. <fc A. division. Tho mixed train between Greenville and Nowberry, which has been running daily, will hereafter run only every other day. Col. Dodson states also that while ho regrets tho necessity has arisen ho will have to cut off a good many of his car? penters and a largo number of laborers in tho shops hero for tho romaindor of tho month. Ho oxpocts things to recover from thoir paralyzed condition by February 1 and says that then ho will put all tho trains and employees back. Ho says that it is also vory probablo that ho will havo to reduce the working timo at the shops from nine to seven hours per day. ? Mr. Dodson states that the road has not hauled a dozen carloads of guano this season, and ho lias never seen so many engines standing idle in a round house of any road.?Columbia Slate. ? Congressman Hatch is said to havo cured himself of a strong tasto for liquor ton years ago by adopting Edmund Burkc's cure-all of hot wator. He drank quantities of it, and thinks ho derived great benefit from it. It stimulated him without any of tho reactionary offocts that follow stimulation from drinking al? coholic liquors.
