C., MARCH 20, 1918 'LEVER QUESTIONAIRE" ' LS LATEST DEVELOPMENT *olumbia, March 20.-The "Lever questionaire" is the latest develop ment in the Tillman-Lever fiasco, which appears to have begun as a "frame-up," but is winding up in a ltilenyr. cat: fight. Under the guise of seeking to learn from the peoI e of ate etate what they think his "duty" i tli matter is, as a result of the wefl-defined opinion among all politi a0 fetitli5: and creeds in South Caro Ujna that former Governor Blease will dreat Senator Tillman hands (own. ,i1r.. Lever is making a bid for the Till fmalr vote in a series of questions which it is learned that he has sent to geople in various sections of the state. Mr. Lever is quoted as saying that it is his "desire not to antagonize the desires of Senator Tillman," but wants to know "in view of Senator Tillman's statement in his announce -ii n: that he will make no campaign speeches, is it possible for him to be re-elected ?" etc. And most miportant, "do you re gard it as my duty in these circum :tances * * *to enter the race?" Mr. Lever wants to know. With the anti-Reforma bidders for the Tillman toga undermining each ot'her's trenches, there is, of course, rad ito be an explosion, which, how +aver, wil' hardly do any great damage, ) e the anti-Reform forces are now so badly stampeded that it is not expected that the trenches will be so xery full when the explosion comes.

Peru, Ind.-" I suffered from a dis %acement with Lackache and dragging down pains $o badly that at times I could not be on my feet and it did not seem as though :I could stand it. I tried d iff erent ,medicines without a y benefit and ..x , several doctors told me nothing but an operation would do .me any good. My drug gist told m e of Lydia E. Pin k ham's Vegetable Compound. I took it with the result that I am now well and strong. I get ap in the morning at four o'clock, do my ihaus -work, then go.to a factory and work ul day, come home and get supper and ifeel good.

DuBrow' S shown by the Lever questionnaire, Is that the anti-Reform faction knows that it cannot win with Senator Till man; that Mr. Lever is seeking to su percede Senator Tillman in command, but is afraid to give up his commis sion in congress and doesn't know what to do, being pretty well 'con vinced against his will that Blease is going to beat the field, whoever may be the anti-Reform candidates, and that the anti-Reform faction having failed in its efforts to discard Tillman, for the reason that Tillman refused to be discarded, is now forced to recog nize him as its leader, although Mr. Lever is pathetically asking: "Is it possible for him to be re-elected ?" The following are the three ques tions which your correspondent learns Mr. Lever is asking in the letters which he is sending out: "First. In view of Senator Tillman's statement in his announcement that he will make no campaign speeches, is it possible for him to be re-elected, or is his re-election doubtful? "Second. Do you regard it as my duty in these circnmstanices and with my strong desire not to antagonize the desires of Senator Tillman, to en ter this race? "Third. If it is your belief that Senator Tillman would not be re elected, or that his re-election is doubtful, then I would be glad for your opinion as to whether there is any other in South Carolina represent ing President Wilson's views who would more likely bring this race tto a successful conclusion than I?" o Statement of the Condition of BANK O[ IRBEVIll[ Located at 'l'ure, -ille, S.
