Columbia, April 21.?Tf ever the memory of a man who served his Statu with splendid heroism in war and witn distinguished ability and patriotism in peace, was held up to reproach, it lias been done by a publication, ot date today, which boasts that its cir culation is over a million a week. It presents a cut of Senator Till J a f r\ i n, aov man, <inu a. uiuuiu iu umi. ou%? ing that be1 is a veteran of the Con federacy, and "in his first contest for the United States senate, defeated Gen.

It would hardly Be pos sible to crowd more mis-statements of fact in so short a sentence. It is needless to point out in a South Carolina newspaper that the gentleman whom Senator Tillman de feated was Gen. Matthew Calbraitn Butler; that Gen. Butler's mother was a sister of both of the Commodores Perry, of the United -States navy; thai his wife was a daughter of War Gov ernor F. W. Pickens; that he entered the service of the iConfederacy as a captain, and rose to the rank of major general when he was only 28 years ct age, and that following the war he served South Carolina in the United States senate for IS years; that in a later war with Spain he served aa major general under the flag of a re nftimtrv- -was rvn the comrnis sion with Admiral Sampson and Maj.

History also records that Senator rillman is not a veteran of the Con federacy, except to the extent, accord ing to Garlington's "Men of the Time, " that he "left school in July, 1864, to join the Confederate army, hut was stricken with a severe illness, whicn paused the loss of his left eye, ana kept him an invalid for two years."

"It does p.eem to me,'' tie said, "that if it is a case of ignor ance, it is ignorance so blatant, con sidering the fact that the history or my father's life was so prominently identified with the history not only Df South Carolina, but of the United States, that it is ignorance whictt amounts to. wantonness, and from which malice would be implied, tc sav the least.

Col. Robert X. Harper, chairman of the executive committee of the reunion, today thus indicated the gen eral character of the reunion for which he and his committee are com pleting arrangements. "The reunion," continued Col. Har per, "will be truly national in its scope. While, primarily, it will be an assemblage of the Confederate vet erans, their wives, their daughters and their sons, they will be the guests of the residents of the national capi tal and representatives of the entire nation will be in the receiving line. The time fixed for the reunion ap pears to be peculiarly opportune for the eternal cementing of friendships and fpr an outburst, not of sectional, but of national, patriotism." Elaborate arrangements have been completed for the business sessions of the United Confederate .
