The News and Courier proposes to boycott Tillman in the future pro. viding it can get the other daily pa pers in the State to join it. The oth ers may enter the combine, but it will not have the effect of keeping Tillman from the public, as his light cannot be hidden beneath the preju dice of our morning contemporaries. In the last campaign a combination among the morning papers was ef fected and it was allowed to go through, but when an arrangement is made to keep the people from hear ing from their trusted leader, the peo ple will play the game of boycott too. We venture to say that if a combina tion is made to keep Tillman's utter ances from the people, the circulation of the Georgia dailies will increase wonderfully. The people want to know what Tillman says, and they will knev at any cost, so it is foolish ness to talk about ignoring him. We do not always agree with Mr. Till man, and whenever we disagree with him, we say so, but in the main his utterances meet with our approval, and the majority of white voters in South Carolina have every confidence in him. When such a newspaper as the News and Courier makes a prop osition to other papers to ignore Mr. Tillman, when the fact is known that the News and Courier did not stand up to the Democratic party in the last national contest, and that Tillman worked night and day for the Demo cratic cause, a suspicion creeps into the minds of the people that there is much method in the News and Cou rier's madness. A newspaper repre senting the financial views of the News and Courier catnot and will not be a great obstacle in the way of a man whose mind and heart is with and for the people. We imagine that every newspaper in the United States opposed to the silver cause would gladly ignore Tillman and McLaurin, and for that matter the greatest of leaders, William Jennings Bryan; but all of the daily newspapers do not see the wisdom of making an arrangement for that specifia purpose. In this State, fortunately for the people, the daily newspapers do not agree on national politics, hence an arrangement to ignore the represent atives of Democracy could not be ef fected, but on State politics the daily papers are antagonistic to Mr. Till man, and if they dared, his name would never appear in their columns. We think the News and Courier's proposition so absurd that we repro duce it for our readers to chuckle over the effort of that paper, to make itself and its colaborers a gnat on the ox's born: "There is one thing, however, wve would like to say to 'all the morning papers in South Carolina.' Would it not be a patriotic thing if we should - ong ourselves, and before the people a. we serve, at the be ginning of the Net, ' r, not to per mit our newspapers to - for the purpose of magnifying the politi cal tramps who have acquired promi nence and position partly at least, if not largely, by our help. "Senator Tillmnan is a newspaper product. He was brought up out of a modest obscurity by the News and Courier. He did not turn out well. He has done this State more injury than any other man in its history. .He desires to be kept before the people -whether by inventing some new scheme to keep the people apart or by airing his personal and family matters in public, he does not care. What he wants is publicity. Brethi ren, is it not possible to keep him2 within bounds? We would not re strict his liberty of thought, his free dlom of speech on all proper occasions and for all public purposes, but he says a great many things that are not worthi publishing. The agreement between the Columbia and Charles :on newspapers during the last Sena tolial campaign in this State would ubake the basis for an excellent work iug arrangement in the future politics of this State. Doubtless all the daily newspapers in the State will see the wisdom of such an arrangement." CONSUMPTION POSITIVELY CU-RED. Mr. Rt. B. Greeve, m?:rchant, of Chil howie, Va., certifies that he had consump tion, was given up to die, sought -all medi cai treatment that money 'culd procure, tried all cough remedies he could hear of, but got no relief; spent many nights sit tinog in a choir; was induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery, andl was cured by use of two bottles. For past three years has been attending to business and says Tr. King's New Discovery is the gran dest remedy ever made, es it has done so much for hiu4 anid also for othe rs in his comimu nity. Dr. Kng's New Discovery is guar anteed for coughs, colds and consumption. It dont fail. Trial bottles free at Rt. B. TL.ryca's ru steo rwe. Senator Mark Hanna does not seem to have serene sailing through the Ohio General Assembly for election to the United States Sen ate. He has strong enemies in the Republican camp, and they may yet defeat him. As far as the Democratic party is concerned, it would as soon have Hanna elected as any other Re publican, unless the other man was a free silver advocate. If a gold Re publican must be elected from Ohio, Hanna deserves the plum for his suc cessful services to that party. Elsewhere we publish what may be termed "hot stuff " from Senator Till man in reply to recent criticisms. The Senator has not been out of his sick bed long enough to look at things with a smile on his face. Sen ator Tillinan, in our judgment, made a mistake in the tone of his reply and his dragging in the name of Major Hemphill of the News and Courier was entirely unwarranted, as that gentleman had not indulged in the crit icism the Senator complains of. We admire Senator Tillan because we believe him to be an honest man, but then our admiration of him does not go to the extent of hiding his mis takes. There are some things in the letter that are well said, and there are others that should have been left unsaid. The friends of Senator Till man knew his position in the race be tween his brother and Ta~bert, and they had no fault to find with him for his neutral position, and his friends (o not now blame him for resenting an attempt to drag his family affairs before the public, but be should do so in a proper manner, and not go out of his way to strike an unoffending individual as he did Major Hemphill. SENATOR TILLMAN TALKS. He Replies to an Editorial in "the State"-Explains His Course. United States Senate, Washington, D. C., December 31, 1897. Editor THE TIMES: The enclosed statement has been forwarded to all the morning papers South Carolina by this mail, and you can print it if you desire. Respectfully, B. R TiuAN. I have nearly always ignored the slanders and falsehoods which have from time to time appeared in the papers in South Carolina which have opposed me since I have been in pub lic life. I cannot correct all of the statements or notice them, because it is a waste of time, and most of my friends know them to be false. As for my ernemies, they believe them be an'use tLey can see nothing good in me, and l'ee to feed their hatred on any food that keeps it alive. I de parL from this rule in the present in stance because it involves a personal and familiar matter. In the Columbia State of yester day the following editorial appeared: "SE.FISH, NOT FIEDISH. "Senator Tillman is reported to be a very sick man, but it is said that when the possibility of his brother George becoming a candidate for Governor was suggested he managed to say that he would take the field against him if his health permitted. The evident hatred B. R. Tillman bears his elder brother, a hatred which led him to oppose if not defeat him for Congress, is something fiend ish. A campaign with the two Till mans as star actors would be a rec ord-breaker for ferocity.- Spartan burg Herald. "The Herald is unjust to Senator Tillman. He does not hate his brother George, and it ,vas not hat red that influenced his course in the congressional campaign of 1892. It was merely selfishness. He was afraid that Talbert would run against him for Governor and cause his de feat, so he turned him into George's preserve-not to defeat George, but to get him out of his own way. "So now when he threatens to run against his brother for the Gover norship next year it does not imply hatred. It means that he considers the perpetuation of the dispensary necessary~ to keep alive the factional issue, on which he relies for re-elec tion to the Senate in 1900. He would not object to George's election if it did not interfere with his own plans. But as it surely would do this, he is prepared to sacrifice Brother George as he did before. "Of course he has no notion of runing for Governor himself, for he will not let go the Senatorship on any chance whatever. He only means that he will put up a proxy for the office if he cannot otherwise disturb the peace. We are not at all sure tat the success of Ellerbe on a quasiprohibition and unity platform would not be quite as offensive to him as that of his brother on a straight license platform. "Watch!" Both of these editorials are the double distilled essence of falsehood and "fiendish" malignity. I have not seen Mr. J. B. Bussey, the correspondent for the State in this city, during my illness or since my recove ry, except to pass him on the street and bow, and I have sail nothing to him about South Caro lina affairs, and I have not said to him, or any other person, a word about opposing George D. Tillman for Governor. What I have said I will repeat: that I will stump the State, if need be, next summer in be half of the dispensary law, and that without regard to who may be in the Irace as candidates. I propose to stand by the lawv in the Senate and in the State; not to "keep alive the fac tional issue," but because I believe it is the best solution of the liquor prob lem. I don't "rely on factionalism" to re-elect me, should I offer for re election. I did not create factional ism in South Carolina. N. G. Gon zales and J. C. Hemuphill are its au thors, and they fanned the embers of the fight of 1890 into flames in 1892, and their undying hatred for me comes from their retirement as rulers Now, in regard to my "hatred" of my brother George, and my aiding Mr. Talbert to beat him for Congress in 1892: Every leading Reformer in the Sec ond Congressional District knows it is nntrue. Not a scintilla of evidence, oral or written, exists or ever existed to show that I assisted Mr. Talbert. I was absolutely "hands off," and that at my brothers request. Mr. Talbert ran for Congress, as he had a right to do, and was elected. He received no advice or help from me. Every well posted man in the State knows wby George Tillman was defeated, except possibly himself. The treacherous Spaniard who makes the charge of betrayal and un brotherly conduct against me only advertises his own depravity and blackness of heart. Talbert could no more have beaten me for Governor than Sheppard did, and no one knows it better than the man who makes the assertion to prove my "selfishness." If these editorial "pacificators" real ly want "peace" in Suth Carolina, they had better leave me and ny family relations alone and pursue the policy of bamboozlement, which is their last tack in State politics. If my retirement is the only condition of "peace," it cannot be brought about by lying. B. R. TILM.A:. How's This!

One of the most urgent needs of the State, just at present, is a short session of the Legislature. South Carolina solons will gather in this city next Monday to make new laws, modify old ones and perform such acts, in their line, as are suggested by the situation in the State. The dispensary will be the princi pal subject of debate and legislation. It is very generally understood that this law will stand in principle, but certain modification and changes will be wrought to make its execution and enforcement smoother. The profit feature of State liquor selling will probably be done away with in order to remove competition by original package and blind tiger establish ments. Heretofore when the dispen sary has been charging a profit, these other two branches of trade have been enabled to come into active competition with the State. By do ing away with the profit on State whiskey all opposition will disappear, for no individuals care to transact business for the benefit of their health. Now, if legislators are to make these changes in the dispensary law, discuss prohibition and general mat ters, let them do so quickly, adjourn and go home. There is no necessity for putting the State back any fur. ther financially by paying $4 a day to legislators and footing a lot of other expenses that are incident to a ses sion of law-makers. The agricultural and commercial conditions of the State will not per. mit of much loafing this year, and as long as the Legislature is in session there is going to be very little work done throughout the country. Let our legislators, then, win the merited approval, "well done," fron their constituency by transacting all the necessary business and doing so with neatness and dispatch.-Colum bia Register. 11 ANTED AbiENTS.

BROwSE, A Delightful Picture. A homelike picture of Mrs. Washing ton and her favorite granddaughter is given by Mrs. James Gibson, who fre quently visited her when, as the pres ident's wife, she resided ir Philadel phia, then the capital of the United States. Mrs. Gibson's language is quot ed by Miss Wharton in her "Martha Washington." Mrs. Washington was in the habit of retiring at an early hour to her own room, unless detained by company, and there, no matter what the hour, Nellie (Miss Custis) attended her. One evening my father's carriage be ing late in coming for me, my dear young friend invited me to accompany her to grandmamma's room. There, aft er some little chat, Mrs. Washington apologized to me for pursuing her usual preparations for the night, and Nellie entered upon her accustomed duty by reading a chapter and a psalm from the old family Bible, after which all pres ent knelt in evening prayer. Mrs. Washington's faithful maid then assisted her to disrobe and lay her head upon the pillow. Nellie then sang a verse of some sweetly soothing hymn, and then leaning down received the parting blessing for the night, with some emphatic remarks on her duties, improvements, etc. The effect of these judicious habits and teachings appeared in the granddaughter's character through life. A Well Used Cradle. The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Mor decai Hardesty, the first white child born in Indianapolis,was rocked through infancy in a cradle in the possession of Mrs. Brandt, wife of the Rev. J. L. Brandt, pastor of the Christian taber nacle of Valparaiso, Ind. The cradle is known to be 106 years old. It was brought from Virginia to Indiana at an early day. Altogether 40 sons of Indi ana have been rocked in this same relic, which is still doing service in the home of the Rev. Mr. Brandt. The cradle was hewed from the log, is 3 feet 2 inches long and from its long continued use closely resembles ebony."
