TIL1A ON SITATION. Senator With His Wife Passes Through CoLumbia on Their Way to Lib. erty HilL "I am proud of the way the Demo cra conducted themselves," said Ser ator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, WI.dnesday morning, in speaking of t4e session of congress just ended. enator Tillman came to Columbia from Trenton and immediately board ed another train for Liberty Hill, in Kershaw county, where he goes to spend a few days with Railroad Com missioner John G. Richards, Jr. The -senator was accompanied by -Mrs. Till man. Senator Tillman was in Columbia but ten minutes and had little time to talk to newspaper men, although he answered with apparent willingness the few questions that were asked him. Proud of Record Made. When asked about the Democrats at this session, the senator, said that he was proud of his colleague., and the way in which they had conducted themselves, not having made iny seri ous mistakes. The senator has not 'been present at this session, owing to the condition of his health, having been advised to remain at home in Trenton on the farm. He was paired -on all mazters and gave his colleagues notice that if he were needed at any time they should wire for him. The Nominee. Senator Tillman was asked if the -situation as to the Democratic nomi mee possibility for president had clari fled any or if there were still that -"embarrassment des riches," about which he spoke the last time he stopped over in Columbia. The sena tor simply replied: "No, I cannot say that the situation is any clearer now." 'The senator says that - the Democrats have much good material from which to select a Democratic nominee for the presidency. The senator had already made known his belief that the Democrats ,/have a fine chance at the coming elec tion. The Vicksburg Question. In view of the visit of the old vet erans to this city, genator Tillman was asked whether he thought the South 'should accept at the hands of. con gress a monument to the Confederate navy, a bill for which has been intro 'duced into congress. There is in the Vicksburg National park a monument to the federal navy. This monument 'will soon be dedicated. The dedica tion has been postponed owing to the introduction of the bill as to the Con -federate navy monument. 'Some of the Southern senators and represen 'tatives objected to the use of federal funds for a Confederate monument. On this point Senator Tillman said:. "Yes, I would favor the erection of 'such a monument. I cannot see why we should not take anything from the congress that will show that the North is willing to do a little justice to the South. I can not see why a monument 'should be refused when we have ac cepted the gravestones.'' Ini the park where the monument would be erected are "markers" on the graves of Confederates showing the rank of the deceased soldiers. It was to these gravestones that Senator 'Tillman referred. At the Station. Senator Tillman was met at the sta tior. by Commissioner Richards, Dr. James W. Babcock, his warm personal -frend, and one or two others. The train, from Augusta upon which the senator rode reached here at 10.50 and the train for Heath Spring left at 11.05. From Heath Spring automo bile conveyance will be had to Com -missioner Richards' home at Liberty Hill. At the station there were a num ber of Confederate veterans and with each that came up Senator Tillman shook hands. He told some of them that he "could not do the old tricks," that he could not measure up to the mark. To all who asked how h'e felt old of his appearing to be all right t not being able to do as much as rmerly when it came to work. Pellagra. Of State politics Senator Tillman did not talk, for there was little appor tunity. He and Dr. Babcock spoke for a few moments of the work being done by Commissioner Watson in his cru sade against spoiled grain, especially corn meal, and the senator appeared to be very much interested. Dr. Bab cock said that much of the meal was in very bad shape. This led to a brief discussion of pellagra and of its rela tion to the spoiled grain. Senator Tillman will be in Liberty lill for a few days and will probably stop over here on his return trip. He 'brought with him a basket of peaches for Dr. Babcock. No Speeches. One of the veterans told the senator he ought to go to Camden tomorrow and speak. Senator Tillman replied: 1 "I am not making any speeches'tnese days." SUICIDE OF XYRTLE REED. Domestic Infelicity Cause of Act. Authoress of Note. Chicago, August 21.-Nfyrtle Reed, whose works-notably "Lavender and Old Lace"-brought her prominence among the writers of semi-classical fiction, is dead by her own hand, a victim of the thing at which she often s,cffed--dmestic unhappiness. In p~rivate life the writer was Mrs. Myrtle Reed McCullough. She lived here in a home that was known to her friends as "Paradise Flat," with a hus band who was known -as the "prize model husband." Even her closest friends never suspected her married life was unhappy. Friday night, however, she was found dead in bed, from an overdose of sleeping powders. That she had de liberately ended her life was made certain by the following note she left on her maid's dresser: "Dear Annie: I am leaving you a check for $1,000 for your true and faithful service during four years. If my husband had been as good a:nd kind I to me and as considerate as you I ! would not be going where I am. (Signed) "Mrs. Mac.' Inclosed in the note was the check for $1,000. The reference to her husband in the note was a surprise to friends of Mrs. McCullough. "Paradise Flat" as her home is known, long had been a favorite gathering ]place for a selectl circle of the writer's acquaintances. She gave many unique entertainments. Among these was the "model hus band contest," which took place last year. Each woman guest "entered" her husband for the honor of being de signated the "finest husband in the* I world." The men 'paraded, sewed but tons and deported themselves at their best, and their wives extolled their virtues in written essays. On that oc casion, largely through the eloquent praises of his wife, McCullough receiv ed the first prize for the "model hus band." There was a pretty romance con nected with her marriage to McCul lough, a romance that some said was cleverly described in her story, "A Spinner in the Sun," published about. the time of her r.arriage in 1906. .Miss Reed was lzs her girlhood days one of the editors of "The Voice," pub lished by the pupils at the West Divi sion High School. James Sidney Mc Cullough was editor of a college paper in Toronto, Canada. V"The Voice" was on his exchange list. He admired the writings of Miss Reed and a correspondence was open ed. In 1906 Miss Reed and Mr. McCul lough, who had by that time made Chicago his home,.slipped away quiet ly to Grand Haven, Mich., and were married. Mrs. McCullough entertained some original ideas on the subject of the "sterner sex." It has been her delight to poke good-natured fun at the oppo site sex. For instance, she has writ ten, "Is the average man only a litttle better than the mushroom; at his best a delicacy; at his worst, a poison?" She was the author of "Love Affairs of a Musician, " Love Affairs of Liter ary Men" and many other books. DON'T DELAY LONGER1 In providing your home with a good -I piano or organ.
