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:

"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.
