TILLMA GIVES A SNORT. Says It's "Absurd to Talk About Ceve land"-Olney Too Clok t Cleve land. A dispatch from Washington says: Democrats in the House and Sen ate have been very much interested in the published reports of the har mony dinne given in New York Monday in honor of Mayor Mc -Clellan, and for the purpose of -bringing together prominent repre -sentatives from different sections of the party. The feature of the din ner which attracted the most atten tion and occasioned the most com -ment was the speech of Mr. Olney, setting forth Democratic principles, and naming Mr. Cleveland as the -greatest living exponent of these principles and the man who could most successfully stand for them .as the Presidential candidate of his party. In the cloak rooms and corridors of the capitol the' Democrats have <discussed delightfully the strictures -of Mr Olney and of Mr. Hill t-pon the dominant party and Presid nt Roosevelt.; General concttrrence in -the views of the speaker upon the Republicans and their leader was found among Democrats. But when it care to Mr. Olney's suggestion of Mr., Cleveland, a damper is thrown over the discussion. Mr. Onley's remarks about Mr. Cleveland are met with a wry face among the Southern and Western Democrats. One effect of his speech will be, it is said, to effectually shut off sll consideration of Mr. Olney as a possible Presidential candidate by the Southern and Western Democrats. He v-i11 be ticketed and classed with Mr. Cleve land more effectually than before, .although his candidacy always has been tainted with Clevelandism, to use the expression most frequently heard among Southerners. Within the past ten days an effort has been made to start an Olney boom, but it is evident from the remarks made by prominent Democrats that neith er the Olney nor the Cleveland boom is likely to get further South than'the Back bay. Senator Tillman, of South Caro lina, gave utterance to the opinion which seems generally to be shared by Democrats of the South and West. "Cleveland again ?" said Senator Tillmnan.' "The idea is nonsensical. With him as our candidate we would lose every chance that we now have to carry the Presidential election. Within the past month or two I have heard expressions and have seen interviews from every Democrat in the Senate, and they were almost unanimous in their statement that Mr. ,Cleveland was impossible. "I realize that among the gold bug Democrats of the East he is popular. I also admiit that he would get some votes from Republicans. He is so good a Republican that he would be preferred by many men in that party to Roosevelt. But *bless you for every one of those votes that he would bring us he would lose an untold number of our own Democrats. Oh, it is absurd to talk about Cleveland," said the Senator with a gesture of disgust. Suspicious. The Pittsburg Dispatch. Mr. Jones. 'Oh, yes; I met Dick Bachel1or and told him all about the Baby." Mrs Jones: "Did he listen pati ently ?" Mr. Jones: "Very; he listened so patiently that I was afraid at first he wanted to borrow money." It is reported from Seattle, Wash. ington, that a steamer went down early Saturday morning near Smith Island, in a storm, fifty persons losing- their lives. RISINGER LETTER A HOAX. - A Man We- Known in Umon Admits T14t He Wrote it as "A Bit of Humor." 'You remember the Risinger let ter copied from the Spartanburg Journal shortly af,-- the Tillman trial?" said a well-kn'wn man to a Progress representative recently. "Well it was all a hoax, for I wrote it." When surprise was expressed the gentleman chuckled quietly and said: "Oh, it was just a bit of humor. I took no stock in Jim Tillman, but thought I'd give the press some thing to talk about. I sent letters to several editors and they all bit. There was no such man as W. T. Risinger, and why they didn't catch on, I don't see, for that was the way I signed my letter. "A rather funny thing happened in connection with it. I heard that a certain speaker publicly de nounced the sentiments exp:-.d by the supposed juryman, where upon I wrote him a very blood thirsty letter demanding an apolo gy. and do you know, I got it. "Oh, yes, you can tell the people it was a hoax, but-well, you might withhold my name." DISPOSITION OF THE CRIMINALS. What Became of Those Included In The Criminal Statistics Compiled By Attorney General. Columbia Cor. News and Courier. The criminal statistics, compiled by the Attorney General, were of importance as information for the people, but what is equally as inter esting is what disposition was made of the criminals. Generally speak ing it may be said that a large major ity of those charged with burglaries and larcenies were convicted. In the homicide class, however, there may be some satisfaction in knowing that in 107 of the 222 cases the ac cusedwere found guilty and i-eceived various sentences, while xoo were acquitted. The deficiency of- twenty in the figures is caused by cases be ing dropped, continued or nol pross ed. HORSEWHIPPING IN HOLLY HILL. Wronged Wife Badly NJsed by Woman WoAlienated Affections Of Her Husband. The State. Holly Hill, Jan. 7.-On Wednes day a horse-whipping affair took place on the usually quiet streets of Holly Hill.' A woman with a doubtful reputa tion received a letter denouncing in very plain terms her behavior with a certain man of good position, and at once decided that the wife of the "man in the case" was the anonymous correspondent. So call ing in the accommodating marshal of the town he was told to keep off the street as there was going to be a fight. He did as he was told and when the wife passed the residence of the woman of shady reputation, she was- attacked with tongue and whip by the latter. The wife resisted as long as possible, when seizing her assailant by the hair she brought her to her knees calling for assist ance. They were quickly separated. While greatly to be regretted the affair may put an end to what has been a scandal for months in the towvn. Considerate. Judge. Miss Rouge: "I can't imagine why he didn't kiss me when he caught me under the mistletoe.'' Miss Caustique: "No doubt he felt your complexion wouldn't stand The NEWBERRY WAREHOUSE CO....
