IMSENT TTIMAN STATEMENT. foment Caused In House By In terview Given Out By Tilhnan In Washington. The interview given out by Senator Tillman in Washington in regard to the legislature of South Carolina eaused some comment on Tuesday says the Columbia State. His designatior *f the house as "driftwood" causeJ amusement among the members, anc when the vote on the Morgan bill was recorded the senator's tirade did not seem to have frightened any of them There were two phases of Senatoi Tillman's interview which were no tiied. on the floor of the house. Mr Snkler, of Charleston, who is re girded as one of the most honorable -men who have ever sat in that body and has been a member for a decade and has an unimpeachable record made a quiet and dignified statemeni in refuting Senator Tillman's allega tin of a "dirty deal," between "the old barroom element in Charlestor and-the prohibitionists. Another member expressed himself n this matter by recalling the fact that Senator Tillmn himself wrote the paragraph in the constitution with reference to the dispensary and that U.-had made a trade with the Charles tin delegation to get that clause in the *imUstitution. The inference to be e was that if the present deal with karleston is "dirty" that was on h'e. same plane. Captain J. W. Hamel \.fKershaw, who was a member of the ..nstitutional convention, made the ' eint. He did not mention Senator ;F lman 's name but the inference was Plain. Had Met Mr. Dabbs Before. r E. W. Dabbs, of Sumter, who was referred to by Senator Tillman ,i being unknown to himself, was ask niy for a statement by the State. Mr. ~bbs made no statemnent on the floor g.'the house. It is singular that Mr. bbs is unknown to Senator Tillman i en they had an interchange of esatries at Clemson college last 7 eamer which interested a great Many people. Senator Tillman was ~aking on the subject of hogs fronm Sstandpoint of an expert. Mr. - 1s took issue with the senator on latter's method for curing hos ne~at. Mr. Dabbs recommended a ~~btitte for boracic acid on the 4~~undthat the latter would affect stomaeh. When the senator had ~audall that- he could he resorid h Jis old plan of .ridieule. e y fiend, what kind 'of a stom sib.ae you got?" he inquired .of * abbs. "Well, I can't stomach -things you ean " was Mr. 's reply. And that is said not hae been the first time they had Mr. Huger Sinkler. Sr.Sin2kler in rising to a question ~s~eson- privilege said: "I rise to ~uesion -of personal privilege. I 4ekfor myself and my statement is ~ueon account of the following par a p published in an interview iltSenator Tillman which appear in the afternoon papers yesterday ~x4in the morning papers today: ~Wthout Charleston's nine~ votes the anbill would have been defeat edby a majority of two votes, so if fth state dispensary is abolished at session it will be done by a dirty aran between the old barroom ele sent in Charleston and these 21 pro 'As a member of this body fox ~mny years from Charleston I would e- lacking in self-respect, careless of >yiresteem, if I permitted this reck kss, unjust,' untrue charge of bar .ga and sale of my convictions on this measure remain unchanged.

" Capt. Hamel's Remarks. The substance of what Captain Hamel said is as follows: "So much had been said charging prohibitionists with being in a com pact or unholy alliance with the li cense people that I wanted to state my position to be in opposition to license; that the. Morgan bill was not my bill and I had nothing to do with its prep aration. 'The prohibitionists had nothing to do with its being an issue here. That responsibility was upon the dis pensary people, who, in the constitu tional convention of 1895, cooperated with the license people to put that op tion in. ''Mr. Clayton of Florence had off ered an amendment to the original see tion prepared for the regulation of the whiskey question, which amend ment provided that the licensing of the sale of liquor should be prohibited in the constitution. The prohibition ists in the convention were working with the dispensary people for the adoption of this amendment, as it would limit the choice between dispen sary and prohibition. But the fate of the dispensary was hanging in the balance at that time and its constitu tionality was being tested in the courts. A member of the convention undertook to picture conditions as they would be under state prohibition in' case the dispensary was declared unconstitutional and he took about the same view that the opponents take now regarding blind tigers overrun ning prohibition counties. The- de bate adjourned and a conference was held between the dispensary and li cense people, and the present section was the result of their deliberations. The dispensary people, and not the prohibitionists, in unholy alliance with the license element in the con vention -are responsible, therefore. that we have the issue of license to consider at all this time. In their votes here in this legislature the pro hibitionists are only seeking to hon estly choose the lesser in a choice be tween evils.'' Mr. Dabbs' Rejoinder. Mr. Dabbs, by request, made the following statement: 'In reply to the 'ranting' inter Iview of the senior senator, I am flat tered that my prediction has come Itrue so muelf quicker than I anticipa ted. I had full justification in pre diting that he would 'rant on every stump for prohibition. If he will give termination as long ago as last sum mer to whip the boys into line to eith er save his pet institution or take the stump or prohibition. If he will give out such a 'ranting' interview and, as usual with him, so full of inaccuraices as will be seen by reference to the fats shown by the aye and nay vote o the Morgan bill and Mr. Hamel 's prohibition amendment, and that' too at long range from Washington, what will he do when he begins his hand primary on the stamp?i ''The history of his previoug cam paigns gives all the answer needed. I am not uneasy; I know him too well, even if I am to him unknown. My position on the dispensary was, as I thought, well known in Sumter coun ty. I certainly would not have be come a candidate, if I had thought I would not have the right to give ex pression to my convictions on the floor of the house, as unmistakably as I knew how, just as for 20 years I have from time to time in public print.' Mr. Sinkler 's remarks were accept ed as they were given. Mr. Kershaw briefly commended them and moved that Mr. Sinkler be given permission to print his statement in the journal of the house. Mr. Sinkler modestly stated that he did not care for the privilege, but the house granted it anyway. Mistress-I don't want you to have so much company. You have more callers in a day than I have in a week. Domesti-Well, mum, perhaps, if you would try to be a little more agreeable, you'd have as many friends as I have.

There is no record of a nor mal child being born to a dwarf it which ease the mother or child o1 both, did not die, and the fact thai Mrs. Boykin and the child are botl strong and healthy is considered a. almost miraculous. The parents are very fond of the child and the physicians and nurse in the sanitarium have taken mor than the usual amount of interest ir the patient and her child. The bap tism was an interesting event. The parents are naturally veri much attached to Dr. Curran B. Earle who attended the mother and child and for him she was iamed. He was honored by being named as godfathel to the child, and. in the old English ceremonial, he was made "a surety for the child that she will constantly believe God's holy word and obedient ly keep His commandments." Miss Ethel Godfrey, head nurse in the san itarium, and Miss Rebecca Kellar, another nurse were sponsers to the in teresting child. Broke It Gently. On his I-eturn from an ex(ended trip abroad an English 'Squire was met at the steamship wharf by his old and trusted man. Thinking it strange that the old man should have comb to meet bad tes 'Squire asked; if there was "Yes. sir," replied the b)utler, ''very bad news. The old magpie is dead, sir." "'What did the- bird die of?" ''Too much horse flesh, sir.'' ''Too much horse flesh. John! Where did the bird get it ?". " The carriage horses, sir."~ "What, are they dead, too?" "Drawing water the night of the fire.'' "What fire?" ''The mansion, sir.'' "You don 't mean to say that the mansion is burned, John?" "Yes, sir; it l,mrned the night of the funeral, sir.' "Whose funeral?" "Your mother's, sir." "What, mother dead, too ?" "Yes, sir; she never, held her head p after your poor father died." "Great heavens! Father dead as well. [ never heard a word of any of these misfortunes. What was the cause of my father's death?" " He received a telegram telling him that the ship had gone down that had the whole of his fortune on board and the shoek of it killed him." "John, I am entirely ruined!" " That you are, sir." . A Schoolboy Ghost. The Referee. While staying at a friend 's house in India, which had formerly been a boys' school, a little girl was surprised on the first night of her visit to see a fair haired boy, clad in bathing cos* tume, walk through her room into the dining room beyond. Thinking it was the son of her hiosts. whom she had not yet seen, she rushed after him, but was greatly surprised when told that no one answering her de scription of the boy had been seen. It was not until some years later that she learned that what she had seen was the ghost of one of th( schoolboys. who had beeCn drowned in the swimming bath, which adjoined the room where she had slept. Preacher Found Dead In A Well. Rev. J. G. Norton, a Baptist minis ter, residing near Valdosta, Georgia, was found dead in a well with a 150 pound weight tied to his neck. The water was six feet deep in the well. His coat, collar, shoes and tie were found beside the well. The indica tions were that he had committed sui cide.
