SHERIFF'S STATEMENT. Says He Did Not Know What He Was Signing When He Re ceipted for Henderson. Saluda, November i8.-Sheriff Rho den today gave out the following statement to your correspondent in reference to the W. L. Henderson matter concerning which an article appeared in the State of November 17. What follows is a verbatim state ment by Sheriff Rhoden: "Mr. N. G. Evans of Edgefield pre sented to me a paper for my signa ture stating that it was for the pur pose of getting bail for W. L. Hen 'derson. I did not read the paper and at his request signed it. Thereafter this paper was presented to my son, J. L. Rhoden, who is my deputy, for him to affix the official seal of my office. He affixed the seal thereto. In reference to the reward said to have been paid to Maj. R. S. Anderson of Edgefield and the method by which it was obtained I consider the whole thing a fraud. In my opinion there was never any reason for a re ward for Henderson being asked for as he had not made any effort to es cape nor was he able to esc.pe of he had wanted to. I did deputize a spec ial constable to -take charge of Hen derson while he was at the home of Mr. J. B. Davis and sent the papers to this special deputy by Mr. N. G. Evans. This special constable refus ed to act and the papers were return ed to me. I then sent my son to Mr. Davis' to take charge of Henderson and guard him and Henderson was in the custody of my son until Tuesday evening when as stated in the Statc of today by the Saluda correspondent Henderson at his own request was brought here where se has been since and where he now is." B. W. C. TILLMAN ON THE RESULT. No Use to Discuss It-Prosperity of Country, Roosevelt's Personal Popularity and Use of Money the Agents. News and Courier. Trenton, November TS.-Senator B. R. Tillman is taking life easy at his home in Trenton. He is spend ing most of the time out of doors, giving directions as to his farming operations, to the fattening of his supply of hogs and the ordinary work around the place. Whatever spare time he has he devotes to his flowetI garden and hot house. -Most men have their fads, and the doctors say that everyone ought to have a fad to take the. mind off of the serious things of life. Senator Till man's fad is flowers. He has as fine a collection of garden and hot house flowers as can be found in this state. In fact his place looks more like a nursery than an ordinary farm house. Senator Tillman is enjoying good health. He is taking care of himself and is in the best of spirits. He pro poses to nurse his throat and it has not given him any serious trouble in some time. Senator Tillman does not think that it does good to talk about the democratic catastrophe. He says that there is no sense in talking about a reorganization of the party, or any thing else of that kind, but that the democrats will simply have to be steadfast and keep in the middle of the road, and that their time will come. He explains the Roosevelt ava lanche first, by the abundant prosper ity of the country- Second, the per sonality of President Roosevelt. Third, the use of money, and fourth, that Bryan was not able to pacify his former followers. He thinks that the Roosevelt wave was due to the four causes in the order named. Senator Tillman says that, of course, the abundant prosperity of the nation had a great deal to do with the republican success, but that those who figure on the causes ought al ways to caluclate on Roosevelt's per sonality and the admiration that many have for him as a man of ac tion. Senator Tillman said that he had spent a good deal of time during the active days of the campaign in India na and Illinois, and he was satisfied that the Palmer and Buckner, or gold democrats, all supported Parker, that from six to eight hundred thous and democrats who supported Bryan four years ago voted for Roosevelt in this election. With the gold democrats in line and with the democratic party down to rock bottom, Senator Tillman sees no use to talk of reorganizat'on at this time, and does not see that there is any possible good to come from it. In Indiaua from the conversations that he had with men who were fa miliar with the situation he figures that fully twenty tousand democrats who voted for Bryan did not support Parker. Senator Tilliman is of the opinion that the race issue did not enter in to the recent campaign. The republi cans avoided it and the voters did not conlsider it except in the south. He does not think that any serious effort will be made during the present ses sion of congress to pass the Crum packer law or to punish the south in any way. He thinks that there will be some talk along this line, but he is satisfied that the republicans them selves are afraid of it. He says that if the race issue alone were pressed, especially in the west and north, the south would find a great many sym palhizers, and he is satisfied that nine-tenths of the northen and west ern people sympathize with the south in its race conditions and that most of the other one-tenth who are not in sympathy with the south on the race question are from the New Eng land states. He said that he had trav elled a great deal within the last year, especially in the west, and that the change of sentiment towards the -nuth on this particular issue is al most revolutionary. I asked Senator Tillman what he thought about the ccnfirmation of Dr. Crum. about -"ich considerable has recently been said in the news papers. He is of the opinion that there is practically no good to cone from continued fighting of the con firmation of Dr. Crum and he is dis posed now to leave the matter to the republican majority of the senate. He feels that he has done all that he can do and that his position and that of this state are well known. He is somewhat inclined to think that President Roosevelt may be so thoroughly gratified with the flatter ing vote that he has received that he may decide to let up on the south, and the president also must appre ciate that the south alone stood out against him more on account of the race issue than anything else. Sen ator Tillman thinks that if the presi dent insists upon the confirmation of Dr. Crum that the senate will confirm him, and that therp will be practical unanimity on the part of the republi can majority, and that it will be en tirely in deference to the president. Whatever is done in this matter he thinks will be done at the instance of President Roosevelt, and there is no use to do any further fighting. Shortage ini Oconee.. Columbia, November, 18.--The res ignation of the treasurer of Oconee county, J. R. Kays, sent in yesterday, has been accepted and the governor has appointed WV. J. Schroder in his place. The grand jury of Oconee county has made the following presentment: "We have examined by committee the county offices and find the books correct and neatly kept. There ap pears to be a shortage in the treas urer's office.

Her veil was a long tulle one, fastened with orange blos soms, and she carried a bouquet of bride roses. She wore a beautiful diamond and peai- sunburst, and a handsome necklace of Roman gold completed the toilette of this lovely bride. The maid of honor and bridesmaids were gowned in white, the latter car rying bouquets of golden chrysanthe mums, and the maid of honor white ones. The beautiful wedding gifts attest e'd the love and esteem in which the bride and groom are held. These were displayed in the dining room, which was decorated with red chrysanthe mum s. At 7:30 the bride had changed her bridal robe for a very becomi ng go ing-away gown of brown cloth trim med with brown velvet, with which she wore a hat of the same shade, and the couple left for Newberry, S.
