She declared herself willing ID db any honorable labor In order to make a living. Her story, told between hysterical sobs, aa aha clang to tbe floor of her cell and pressed her hot f toe avalnat the cool Iron ban, was that #ne is tbs second daughter of J. H.

At this point her sobs became so violent that she was unable to goon for sometime, bdoau*, she said, her first and only transgression of the social law was then. Rain was falling heavily when | ‘she rraebed Greenville, according to hfr story, and tbs man finally psnua- ded her to go to a lodging house as ■an and •wife, assuring her that no ops would take ter In at - that hour, otherwise.

The police gave her all the atten tion possible at police barracks, and she became quieter and weaker after the tffacte of the drug passed off.

Fraser Lyon, published In Tte State Saturday. Tbe senator bad not seen the letter ,and when a dopy of It was banded to him, be read It and grew wrathy aa he read. Being under tbe impression that the publication shown him was only an outline of Mr. yon’s letter, be was at first diain oilned to say much, but when be be came satlf fiid that be was In possess- oq of a complete copy of tbe letteir Bw threw off the silence and talked with characteristic freedom, dencun- ring the letter as sneaking and M r. Lyon’s reference to the rumor that a whiskey house had presented Ssuator Tillman with a piano, as a dfrty cow ardly Insinuation.” Tbe senator was first approached by tbe newspeper man as be sat in tbe new passenger station at Charlotte scanning a large number of South Car ollna newspapers with wblob bis trav eling bag was packed. The Interview continued interruptedly on board the Southern South western Limited as far as Greenville. GBEW INDIGNANT . After reading the letter, Senator Tillman was indignant and grew ■ore so as be talked. I am surprised,” be said, "that a gentleman such aa I thought Mr. Lyon to be would go iu tbe papers in seen a sneaking way aa this. Even tbe name of a lawyer to whom he wrote la not given, but whether he au thorized its publicity or not, I assume it to be authentic. "1 have cot attacked the investiga ting oommltteejTohly' warned it in a friendly spirit. And why? Either the 6700.000 worth of claims against the State bAtrd are valid and binding or tbey are not. I say they are not, be cause the whiskey was bought con trary to law and the State Is not le gally bound for payment. "The committee knows this now as well as It will ever know It. Messrs. Lyon and Cnrlstensen have blacklisted certain firms; the presumption Is tbey have dLoovered evidences of fr. ud. If those firms have acted dishonestly the old board cannot 6a clean; but leav log Messrs. Lvon and Christensen to bunt for proofs, to wblob I do not object, again I ask: 1 Wby tbe de lay? 1 “Whether fraud Is proven or not, no decent lawyer will contend that these large purchases of whiskey are legal; First, because there was not competitive bidding, as the law re quires; seoond because the Uw express ly limits thq amount that may b6bn □and to 1400 000 and instead of dlek ering with lawyers employed to col- lect the money. It Is the l&v committee's plain duty to repudiate Rebates. To the Editor of The State. The offer of your columns to me to reply to Senator Tillman’a Inter view Is accepted. I shall try not to he burdensome to either yourself or a long-suffering public. I do not thing the public Interested TulEe senator’s opinion, either of my course In tbe dispensary Investigation, or as to whether It was sneaking and cowardly to addre« my reply to an ittoruey, In response to an Inquiry, giving my reasons for delay, and al lowing that letter to be published, However, I do not wish to take the senator at a disadvantage, and If he thinks It more In keeping with his Ideas of fairness, be may treat my letter as If it were addressed to him personally, with each statement there in reiterated. ‘ ' Senator Tillman says, "I have not attacked the Investigating commltte". I only warned It In a friendly spirit.” V- . ■ t through it he said; ‘This purchase Is subject to a rebate, because pf the fact that tbe Mill Creek company la • member of tbe liquor trust.' # « ■Weil. I said, I don’t want any deal ings with rebates; you keep that as a bonus for tbe accommodation you .have given me in selttQg me liquor at a .fair pries, and aMlgtlng me in my (Sorts to start the dispensary.'" I take it that the senator does not desire to quibble aod I prefer to be lieve bis sworn statement true, espee Ifilly as the act under which we an proceeding makes false swearing before the committee perjury.- Such being the condition of affairs, I tb nk w • have reasonable grounds, and It la our duty, to probe this matter as we have hern doing and arc continuing to do. Tbdeenator avoirs be has a friendly splrlttiwards the committee. L aving aside tbe suddenness of his recollec tion of, this fact and acting upon bis avowal as if it wen true,-! suggest that If he has any more letters in hit poeseaeton of similar nature to tbe one Mr. Fant wrote him some years ago, he will confer a favor by deliver Ing them to the commi ttee before we learn of mob letters 10d the all Hr to which they relate, through-kOP** other source. What we need most lf-f—-“T. whose actions do,- not fquire wi h the His reference to the committee In his address stands for Itself, and I scarce ly think he can expect that this latter statement can be understood as being consistent with bis former. ‘ In my opinion It will be a very indulgent person who does think so. The Senator has made tbe wonder ful discovery that tbe 6700,000 worth of claims against tbe State board are valid and binding, or they are not. Perhaps the entire committee will «gree to this statement when they know the senator has said It. But when he says: “Tbey are not, be cause toe whiskey waa bought con trary to law, and toe State Is not If g ally bound for payment,” I hesitatt for I have no facte to base such con elusion on the opinion of a person him self uader Investigation, and know of no law limiting the amount of stock, save the version as cited by this same person. I am not familiar with law that expressively limits the amount of goods that may be on hand to 6400,000. I have need ‘An act re lating to dispensary profits,' acts 1902 page 1102, in which it Is provided that the directors of toe dispensary shall pay to the State treasurer by January 1, 1904, all of toe school fund reported by them In excess of 6400,000 law and indioote a desire to carry It out loyallv.” - PIANO WAS BOUGHT. . Mr. M. A.

Mr. Malone bad read tbe article and unhesitatingly stated that be sold tbe piano to Senator Tillman for 6325 aod that the sale was made in 1891, previous to the establishment of the dispensary. Mr. MGone add that be recalled the sale because it was soon after Senator Tillman, then governor went Into office and ne bad not long moved to tola city to occupy toe exe cutive mansion. " Furthermore, the Amount paid for toe piano was a ape olal concession made because, as Mr. Malone stated, be thought the sale would enable him to dispose of other pianos. “Yes,sir,"saidMr. Malone, "itwas a fair and square deal and there was no question cf graft. Immediately after moving Into the manslou Gov Tillman, came to my store and looked at the pianos. Tbsy rented one, for tbe puprpose of keeping it until tbey had tried It. “Tlhis Instrument they decided to buy and it was the one for which he paid me the amount stated. He never bought any other piano from me.” facts and not "friendly ad vice.” So far as toe lawyrr, are ooocerner who represent tbe claims held up and tbe persons under Investigation, I wll) say that when they 'write me letters they will receive a courteous and frank reply abd each Of them may expect to be treated In a respectful manner when they appear before toe commit tee. In toe event some other person may wish to find out something about th inveetlgation and prefers not to use tbe newspapers aa a medium of oor respondenoe, Just 1st him write a po Ute Inquiry, If be can, and a oourteom reply will be returned. If such sersor should be afraid of getting unpleasant Information and obj c s to tbe reply to bla inquiry being made public be will be accommodated upon request.

I The most progressive end ap-to- dtvclfcrmon, and likewise those who ore tno-ii sucg-siful from a purely financial standpoint, an those who road and think and study Intelligent- y. It Is quite a simple matter to control many of our wont Insects and tongue pests If the work Is nedar taken Intelligently. Yet we k» millions of dollars annually from varldhs causes which are practically under toe odhtrol of the farmers, it Is naturally surprising that snob, should be toe case In this day of mo dern and successful }>urnslUm, end yet It is surprising to know how com paratively few of our farmers take an agricultural paper and read It and profit by the instruction contained therein. The farmer, to be au^oe’etul, must first of all understand that business principles bave as definite a relation to financial success on tbe fa m as lb any other vocation. He sbould there fore stndy over bis farm acc'unu carefully daring the year and ter wblob crops were tbe most profitable. It Is not a very difficult uutter to keep an ftcoouut with each field, and it Is safe to say that If we realiz d more f« quently tbe cost of making a pound of cotton or t(4>aooe, that dif ferent methods of culture would be punned and an entirely different sys tem of crop rotation and fertlTzitlon practiced. There are some stops oa the farm that pay a larger profit than others, and toe firmer must keep books fin order to eliminate those which tare unprofitable and caange pro-. fits from toe desirable onea. A study of profit and loss is con sidered essential In every business except that of farming. The great buslness houses strike a trial balance every once In awhile to see bow tbey eland, yet farming la admlted by all to be at best a complex problem, and how can tbe farmer hope to succeed who keeps no record of his various transactions?

He characterize this as a dirty aod cowardly insinuation.
