TILLMAN MAY MAKE RACE. ; There is Talk of Former Lieutenant Governor Opposing Patterson. A .South Carolinian, in an interview with a reporter of the Augusta Chronicle, discussinv politics in this state, says some interesting things. "How about South Carolina." was asked. vr ; ? r..- e .. 1?*. i x ujici 11 wno.i vuu nave | said the pot is calling the kettle i bad names. In a measure, you may be correct. The coming summer will be warm with us, I whether the sun shines or not. Senator Tillman will stand for re-election, but so far his enemies have been unable to hazzard the risk of finding a man who would dare oppose him. Today . no other man commands as much attention in the United States, with the possible exception of the president, and, strange to say, i the two are deadly foes." "Who will be your next governor?" "Only a prophet with divine; vision can tell." he smilingly re-: plied. "It is as much an enigma ; as the Georgia situation. Mr. Ansel, of Greenville; Senator Blease, of Newberry; Lieutenant Governor Sloan, of Richland; Speaker M. L. Smith, of Ker-1 shaw, and Senator It. I. Manning. ! of Sumter, are all avowed can- i didates, and dark horses are grazing in the pasture. "Mr. Ansel lias announced his platform ?local option as between the county dispensary system ai < prohibition. Senator Blease advocates the state dispensary, ' with a splendid record behind him. Mr. Jones for prohibition, 1 pure and simple; Lieutenant i Governor Sloan for local option, j Speaker Smith.has not yet an-; nounced the platform upon which i he will stand, but promises to de | so at the proper time. Senator Manning will make the fight as 1 a champion of the State dis-1 pensary, having the prestige of being successful in the State senate in passing the RazorManning bill." "How about your congressional delegation?" "I know nothing alxmt any district save, possibly, my own, the second. It is now represented by Mr. Patterson, who was elected two years ago after a heated campaign over Mr. Mayfield and Mr. Williams. A number of prominent gentlemen have been mentioned as likely to oppose him this summer, and among them Col. Jim Tillman. He has thousands of friends in South Carolina who feel that he has been grievously wronged, and only await the opportunity to right the wrong. Whether he will consent to again enter politics, I do not know. Since th tragedy in Columbia he 1 as devoted hib whole time to his clients and has been kept busy, not only in South Carolina, but in other states. "With Hen Tillman in the senate and Jim Tillman in the house oi representatives, ^outn i urolina will lie heard from in congress. '' More Foreigners Coming. Mayor S. S. McNinch states that he is so well pleased with the work of the 13 immigrants received at his brick plant last week that lie has ordered 15 others from New York. These I will arrive as soon as they can be secured and shipped South by the employment bureau, with whom the order has been placed, i The foreigners, of whom eight are Germans and live Russians, are employed in loading the cars with the brick from the kilns. They are agile, strong, healthy and are easy to handle. They go about their work lighthearted and contented and give little trouble to those in charge. Mayor McNinch states that not only do they do the work of two negroes but they do it much better and much easier, lie is well pleased with his experiment and believes that this class ot' labor is the solution c f the problem in the South. Since getting in the lirst. lot. Mayor McNinch states that he has received several inquiries j from manufacturers in this and other States, asking the address pf the immigration ^bureau through which these men were secured. ?Charlotte Observer. mi , ' Fori Tk wa wit.. has'in^ additional effort mauv v,.. canture Will n i * - ... ?. v 4 * J , li V.V/VLV/11 IIII1I operative, who shot Langley Boozer. the son of Mr. Boozer, a: Wylie mills, in Chester about a year ago. The governor has already oil'ered a heavy reward and will try to do all that he can , to locate the fugitive. To the, $600 already offered, Mr. Boozer i has added $400 on his own account. but he says he is willing to give ail of the $1,000 himself, if the murderer can he captured, dead or alive. He has sent out circulars with a description and photograph of Perry. ?The State. Wcllm?.n Has Sailea. Those who have been skeptical regarding Well man's proposed attempt to reach the North Pole in an airship have questioned whether he really means business?may, it would now seem, safely put aside their doulus; Wellman has sailed for Europe to complete his arrangements and it is announced definitely that the members of the expedition are to assemble at Tromsol, Norway, in June, Thence they will proceed to Spitzbergen on the steamer Futhjof. which will also carry the airship in sections, and their supplies, and the start ...mi--. 1 - 1 - win ne inaue in ilie iaiic-r pari ol July from a point 600 miles from the pole. VVellman is a newspaper man, as was Henr\ M. Stanley, who discovered Livingstone after so many others had failed, and if he succeeds in his quest, another crown; ig victory must he placed to the credit of the fourth estate. That he will succeed he seems to have no doubt, and his confidence is justified by the opinions of some of the most experienced aeronauts and Arctic voyagers and explorers. The Emancipation cf the Farmer. At no time since the war has there been so good a day for tiie farmer of the South as has now come. The present condition of prosperity has about emancipated the farmer. He is in a position to advance materially in a w; y he has never before advanced. He is no longer obliged to sell his crops as soon as they archarvested. He is in position to buy more cheaply than he could formerly, for he has the money with which to buy. He* has learned to farm more scionrifienllv and consequently the same labia expended on the same land produces more than it once did. Evidence of this advancement of the farmer are seen in newly planted orchards, new barns and reclaimed fields. The well-filled cribs, the sleek stock and the newly purchased farming implements are further evidences of the properity of the times. It is a great day for our Southern country that this condition exists. No people can long prosper if the farming population is on the down grade. The wealth must come from the soil. When the farmer prospers so prosper the merchant, manufacturer and professional man. Moreover, the best safeguard a country can have if its prosperous farms. The stability and general wellbeing of the South is assured when "Prosperity" is written over the gateway leading to our farmhouses. While our farmers are advancing alontr so manv linos would it not be well for them to give a little more attention to the raiding1 of poultry? A score of farmers in Union county could at a small expense fit up a yard and raise fancy birds. The eggs and fowls of such breeds almost always sell, and they sell at handsome prices. There will he litt1 difficulty in disposing of the eggs and fowls. A small amount spent in advertising will bring customers from all parts of the State, and considerable results could be obtained locally. Union Times. Most fortunare is the boy or girl, the young man or lady who is given the opportunity to attend school in our little city. Its educational advantages surpass any town of like size in the state. |f is ? _4??.<S? ?-A ' iw_ rf i)i:M(M'i<A( v, r MILL, S. C., Till li ? " ?? > T?IB ? ?fl Facts Needed aid Facis Slated.
