TIM.1MN FOR PROHiIION. Imagines that Compulsory School At tendance is Plan to Deliver State Into Republican Hands. Columbia State. Greenville. August 19.-At Foun tain Inn today Senator Tillman ad dressed 2.500 farmers. He spoke on compulsory education and other topics or, as he said after arriving in Greenville, "took a kind of general subject," and said just what lie felt. lke saying. Among other things Senator TiJJ man expressed his opinion on the re Bults of the recent dispensary elec tion throughout the State and said that he was glad to see that the State was going "dry" and hoped that the remaining counties which now are wet would soon vote out the dispensary. The State and News and Courier had educated the people of the State to such a height, he said. that they are m.ow ready to vote the dispensary out in nearly all the counties. "Let all drink water out of the same gourd," said Senator Tillman, ''or whiskey out of the same bottle," and he added, laughingly, "It doesn't matter which.'" In speaking of the relations of President Taft with Southern people, Senator Tillman said that President Taft was trying to debauch the peo ple of the South with fair promises and offices. He read over to the gath ering the Republican party's platform or planks of it, and said that Taft's purpose was to seduce enough white men in the South to organize a re spectable Republican party, bringing the negroes in as a balance of power. Misiouri and Kentucky were already in the doubtful column and West Vir ginia was gone. All that was neces sary to monopolize the negro in So&Uth Carolina was to have enough -white men bought off and to register the negroes that are capable of being registered. "Therefore," Senator Tillman said, "anything along the line of increasing the number of ne groes who could, therefore, be eligi ble to registration was the height of folly in his judgment." If the white children coald be sent to school by a compulsory law without the colored children goingalso, Tillman said, he would favor such an enactment, but the 15th amendment expressly pro lhibits any law which discriminates against any citizen on account of race, color, etc. The negroes would be benefited by the compulsory law and the white man would have to pjv the taxes for the negro's education. Senator Tillman a.rrived in Green ville in the afternoon and went im med'ately to the house ol his niece, Mrs. Rasor, on Buncombe street, where he spent the night. He is to leave early tomorrow morning for Ricihland. in the neighborhood of Seneca, where he is to attend a big basket picnic and make an address to the gathering there. LICENSE TAX. Will Be $5,000 This Year in Excess 4 of 1908 Receipts. Columbia State. iCapt. Joseph R. Allen, city auditor, yesterday stated that the amount of money collected for licenses by the tity since the first of January to the Irst day of August exceeds the amount~eollected last year during the same months by approximately $5,000. At the beginning of the year in making up the budget for 1909 the amount of money it was anticipated would be collected for the 12 months following was $42,000. On August 1. the amount received in payment for licenses slightly exceeded this amount and there remain five months and 10 days in which to receive additional .ollections. No great amount can ireasonably be expected from this date until the irst of the year. What amounts will be received will be from people newly engaging in business, from such. shows and circuses as may .come to Columbia this fall, and during fair week there will no doubt be the usu al number of licenses called for by itinera.nt peddlers, etc. The fact, however, that the amount oolleeted in the- first ,half of the year equals the anticipated income in this department for 12 muonths,and that it was received during the same months last year, indicates the starting of new business activities in Columbia to an extent worthy of notice. Last year the estimate for the bud get was $35.000, and on Augusa 1, 1908, the amount collected was $36, 65210: the amount collected fotr the year 1908 inclusive was $39,680.10.I Fitting the Crime.

Peoria, Ill., Aug. 20.-The steamer Fred Swain. Capt. Verne Swain of the Peoria and LaSalle Packet com pany, with 25 passengers and 15 sail ors aboard, burned to the water's edge to-day, after the flaming craft had been piloted into four feet of water and the occupants had escaped to the bank of the Illinois river, up which the steamer was bound when it caught fire. No lives were lost, but Joseph Caserider, the engineer, was burned about the face and body, and Charles Reischeberger, of Peoria, suffered a broken arm. The loss is $35,000. Several of the passengers lost their belongings. The escape from the burning ves sel of the passengers, most of whom were women and children, was ex citing. Fears were partly calmed as- the burning steamer drew nearer shore and scores of row boats were seen 1 coming to the rescue. The gangplank was lowered to the water's edge when the steamer had been beached. After two row boats had started for shore with passen gers the gangplank caught fire and fell away from the steamer, letting 15 persons, including several women and children. fall into the water. Thomas Powers of Peoria and E. A. Cason of Worcester, Mass., who were on the plank when it fell, each saved the lives of two children. The others who were thrown into the water by the collapse iof the gang plank were taken in boats to safety. Those still aboard the steamer man aged to get out a new gangway. The fire started in a stateroom and spread rapidly. Capt. Swain, realiz ing that the vessel was doomed, or dered the pilot to beach the boat and instructed his crew to deal out life preservers. Engineer Caserider, after attend ing to the boilers to guard against an explosion went to the pumps, remain ing there until the flames licked, his face. Severely burned and almost blind. he turned to escape only to find that arowboat left forhim was afire. He got into the boat, however,and beat ing the flames from him, and rowing hard, reached shore. He was taken to a hospital.I Miss Furbish, a cabin girl, who dis covered the fire said: ''I was at work dusting and clean ing a stateroom in whieh the fire started. The whole room was in* flames, the smoke blinding me. I gave the alarm and rushed to inform Capt. Swain.'' D. M. Swain, of Stillwater, Minn., owner of the burned steamer: was in the Avery M: nufacturing company's plant at Averyville, a suburb of Pe oria, near which the steamer caught fire, and he aided in rescuing the passengers anid crew. His son, Verne, captain of the vessel, was the last to leave the brning abip.I Futile efforts were made by the Peoria and Averyville fire depart ments to save the hull of the boat. . The steamer was built nine years ago and was one of the finest on the Illnois river. $1,000 CHBCK IN RUBBISH.

We are so positive that we can cure constipation, no matter how chronic it may be. that we offer to furnish the medicine free of all cost if we fail. It is worse than useless to attempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do much harm. They cause a reaction, irritate and weaken the bowels and make constipation more chronic. Be sides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous and often fatal. Constipation is caused by weakness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To ex pect a cure you must therefore tone up and strengthen those organs and restore them to healthier activity. The discovery of the active princi ple of our remedy evolved the labor of the world's researeh chemists. It possesses all the best qualities of the remedial active principle of the best known intestinal tonics, and it is particularly prompt in its results.
