Also your letter of j x same date calling my attention to the . i I fact that you did no;, issue apec-iai aiders Xo. 60, detailing the adjutant general to proceed to encampments of the 3rd, 1st, and 2rd infantries, to be beld at their respective locations, j commencing July 17 to August 5, in- ( elusive. "In issuing orders of this nature I have simply carried our your instruc*** tions issued to me in person at the beginning of your term of office, in V which you stated to me that r should run the office according to my own |F ideas, as you knew nothing whatW ever of military matters and that you t would sustain my action. This inp struction has never been cancelled by you until your letter and order under date of July 21.

In such cases, j under your orders, these matters will have to lie over and await your return Iana approval.

Washington, July 22.?When Sena- , tor Tillman, of South Carolina, who is on a diet by order of his physician, declared somewhat peevishly I *?2 ~-u:' tnat "ine arx. 01 iryuig ciiiunen wa^ unknown in Washington" he had not j reckoned with the housewives of the! District of Columbia, many of them southerners and jealous of their ability to cook chicken in any fashion. As a result of the aspersion indig- j nant housewives and a few score | admirers of the South Carolina States-1 nan have been inundating him with chicken. They come by parcel post and by messengers until each day the senator's committee room takes on the appearance of a picnic ground. At first Senator Tillman sought to ; return the gifts, but virtually none had the name of the donor on it, although many contained notes defying the senator to decry the fowls or the cooking. As a result the commit- , tee waste basket is continually filled ! with chicken bones and committee clerks and senate attendants, impressed to aid in keeping up with the in coming supply; are nearing a State of rebellion. mm POLITICIANS TO 3IEET. i If Smith is Present, at Filbert, it Will be First Meeting- on Stump "With | lilease. Columbia, July 21.?Probably the largest political gathering of this | summer will take place at Filbert, in York county, on August 1, on the oc casion of the annual picnic at that place. Governor Blease, Senator McLaurin, Representative George R. Rembert and others well known in . political life in South Carolina will ' be in attendance that day ar.d make speeches to the voters. It is; understood that an invitation has also been extended to United States Senator E. ? i D. Smith to be present and make a , speech. Others will probably attend. ! The annual gathering at Filbert at- i tracts thousands of people from York and the surrounding counties and this nicnic has taken the place of the old gatherings at Tirzah, in that county, j where annual gatherings in the old Tillman days were prominent features of every year. At Tirzah Senator Tillman and his lieutenants used to address the people on Tillmanism and "whoop up" the "boys" as only a j South Carioina political audience can ' be thrilled. In recent years the gath- j erings at Tizrah have given way to ; the annual Filbert picnic and to this point usually journey prominent politicians and would-be politicians. Wlien Smith Meets Blease.

The presence of these two will ' likely overshadow the other political aspects of the occasion, although several of those who are expected to offer for governor next year will address the voters. Filbert is a small station on the C-iroiina and Northwestern railroad, a few miles north of Yorkville, and the speaking takes place in a grove hard by the station. A big picnic is always served on the grounds, for the people of York county are well known for their hospitality, and everyone who attends is assured of a good picnic dinner and a pleasant time. rtAr T nnn nivs *.M?MI5.E.KJKI lULLLViL 1/ai. Alumni of Calhoun County MeetFine Addresses?Picnic. i St. Matthews, July 18.?This was | Newberry College day at St. Matthew's j Lutheran church, on the Moncks Corner road, near Creston, this county. This is a beautiful little church built in Gothic style and handsomely furnished and is, furthermore, the successor, on the same foundation of the second oldest Lutheran church in the two Carolinas. The building was well filled for the occasion and the atmosphere was strongly surcharged with the Newberry college enthusiasm. Mr. Heber Rast, of Cameron, an alumnus of Newberry, presided with ease over the exercises. The Rev C. A. Freed, D. D., of Columbia, offered an appropriate prayer. Daniel Bar- j ber, of the Junior class, .welcomed the j audience in a neat and creditable I way. T>v,~ "D/if T T T nntr nf "Little MOUtl J. lie lict . 'J . V . tain, was then introduced. He said, j as a graduate of Newberry college, ' be would have been ashamed to decline this call to speak a word for his alma mater. He knew what the college had done for him in a moral and intellectual way and he wanted the people to know about it. Prof. S. J. Derrick, of the department of history, was then presented. Old friends who heard the speaker The Best Hot Weather Tonic GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC enriches the ' blood, builds up the whole system and will won- I derfully strengthen and fortify you to withstand the depressing effect of the hot summer. 50c. years ago realize that Prof. Derrick is a growing and developing intellec- j tuality ad is one of the strongest i speakers in the Newberry college bunch. The speaker is withal, witty and tinctures his words occasional y with slight dips of a refined species ! of sarcasm. His characterization of j his confreres on the faculty was inimitable and brought down the house time and again. The Rev. Pleasant E. Monroe, re-. cently elected president of Summer-; land Female college, was next intio-! duced. He spoke of the great interest: in education during the present age. j He had watched the growth of New- 1 berry college with great pride. Her { struggles, her sacrifices and her j blessed part in the development of j the church and the State, were a source of great joy ana satisfaction. He quoted a report of the condition of Newberry college in 1872. There were no Seniors, one Junior, eight - - - , .... ?i i Sophomores, eignt rresnmen aim i eight sub-Freshmen. In the same year the trustees reported that a portion of the "meagre salaries of professors are still unpaid and there are no present prospects of liquidating the same." This condition was contrasted with the 32 graduates this year, with her 250 students, with her magnificent buildings and her increasing endowment. He concluded with an interesting and forceful plea for bis own "Summerland college." jl j Rev. J. H. Harms, D. D., p:*esi- ! dent of Newberry college, who is exceedingly popular with the friends of Vowhorrv in fsihrmn countv. made his I usual strong address and eloquent plea for the institution which is near and dear to his heart. He was proud of the increasing devotion on the part of the alumni and friends of the college. He was afraid they would soon be tempted to offer up the prayer credited to the Harvard men. "Lord have mercy on Newberry and all other inferior institutions." He said that five of these reunions will soon be held at Ehrhardt in Bamberg county. He j gave some of the many strong reasons why these people should 6end their sons to Newberry college. After the regular exercises an executive session of the Reunion association was held at which Mr. Heber " ^ " ??-1 R. Rast, oi uamerou was eicuicu president, and Prof. Leroy L. Geiger, of St. Matthews, secretary and treasurer. At this meeting the association pledged itself to give a scholarship to the college for the ensuing session. The experiences and incidents of a red letter day were concluded with a splendid picnic dinner in the oak V10911 tifni fVhnrr.h arounds. grove vi tixc ? Forest >"otes.

But >*ot Before Little Mountain Sees Record Tied. Little Mountain, July 20.?The long, drought was broekn here yesterday afternoon about dark by a severe electrical storm, accompanied by much wind and some hail. The wind did no more damage than blow down 1- lrnnc Thp , trees ano wrecK. leiepmjiac nuv.o. ~ hail was sufficient to injure corn and cotton, damaging several farms considerably. The temperature yesterday, according to the local weather observer was 107, equalling the record for this place, which -was 107 on July 5, 1903. On this date a drought was broken by a severe hail storm, practically destroying all crops for several square miles, and wrecking three buildings in town. Some men look as though they had the world on their shoulders,, and were afraid it was going to slip off. 11 As!

Don't Mistake the Cause of Yonr Troubles. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is.only a muscular weakness; when j I urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is where the danger often lies. You should realize that these troubles often lead to dropsy or Bright's disease. An effective remedy for weak or diseased kidneys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of this vicinity are contantly testifying. Airs. J. A. Vaughn, 220 Washington st., Greenwood, S.
