I It would seem that the Tillman reign
in South Carolina is at an end. Let us
. hope that this is true, for none of the
name have been of any use or ornament
to us in recent years.
South Carolinians who are talking seem
to be generally of the opinion that we
need two new United States Senators.
But the fellows who holler the loudest
don't carry the most yotes.
Mr. Thos. J. Adams, who has been editor

S-. G. Mayfielj's friends the he will enter
the race for lieutenant governor.. If he
does there is not mnch doubt bat that he
will be the winner. He has been a leading

is eminently well qualified for the duties

Col. Jim Tillman has received a lot of
free advsrtising out of his telegram to
Prudent Roosevelt, but we imagine it is
hardly to his liking. It looks like the
valiant soldier will have to fight a considerable
portion of the editors of South
Carolina, if he is to keep up the reputation
of the family. Newspapers have
questioned his veracity, have said he and
the Tillman family had no breeding, and
have even intimated that he is not a re.
putable or decent citizen. !
(Is is usual with those of the name,
d Tillman made a spectacle of himself
the Tillman-Roosevelt m&tert. In retalion
for President Roosevelt withdrawals
invitation to Senator Tillman to
te at 4he White House with Prince
mry, the Hon. Jim sent the President a
egram asking that he withdraw hisacXance
of an invitation to present a
ord toMaj. Micah Jenkins on theoccan
of his visit to the Charleston Expoion,
Tillman says he had been requestto
do this by the subscribers to the fund
buying the sword. His action, howy.has
been repudiated by Governor Mceeney,
the Exposition officials, and the
as of the State generally, who say that
: Tillman represents nobody in South
olina but himself. We would tike for
i to pnbtish the telegrams he received
cn the subscribers to the sword fund,
ing him to act as he did, as a great
ay people believe he acted entirely
hout authority, his statement to the
trary notwithstanding.

Washington, March 2?Strong appeals
are being made to President Roosevelt,
from all parts of South Carolina,
urging him not to abandon his intention
to visit the Charleston Exposition. The
White House is being flooded with letters,
telegrams and editorial comments from
Southern newspapers, assuring the President
that the fair-minded people of the
Southland have no sympathy with the
disgraceful performance of the two South
Carolina Senators in the Senate, and they
also deprecate the rude action of Lieutenant
Governor Tillman in connection with
the proposed presentation of a sword to
Major Jenkins on the occasion of the
President's proposed visit to Charleston.
The authorized statement this morning
from Major Jenkins to the effect that he
is no party to the intended insult to
President Roosevelt, and his refusal to re
ceive the sword procured for him through
the efforts of L'eutenant Governor Tillman,
meets the hearty approval of all
fair-minded people in this vicinity. Coupled
with Major Jenkins's refusal to accept
the sword at the hands of Lieutenant
Governor Tillman is an official statement
from the managers of the Charleston
Exposition to the effect that they disavow
any responsibility for Lieutenant
Governor Tillman's officious telegram to
the President.
South Carolinians generally deprecate
the unfortunate notoriety given their
State in connection with recent events in
the United States Senate. Some of the
very warmest and best friends of Senator
Tillman express profound regret that he
should so far forget himself as to bring
discredit upon the State he represents.
Senator McLauriu is also blamed for his
part in the censurable transaction. All
agree that a great injury has been done
the State by the disgraceful performances
of the two Senators, and they further resent
the uncalled for and unsustained action
of Lieutenant Governor Tillman.
South Carolinians who have the best
interests of the State at heart do not intend
to rest under the blight which has
been put upon their State by the occurr
ences of the past week, and they intend
that the President and the whole world
shall know that they do not sanction
*?hat has occurred. To this end every reasonable
effort is being made to assure
the President that a hearty, hospitable
and patriotic welcome awaits him in
Charleston whenever it is convenient for
him to be the gaest of that city. It is understood
that a delegation of influential
citizens are now enronte to Washington
from Charleston to give the President personal
assurances to that effect.
As an evidence that Senator Tillman's
political friends deprecate the unfortunate
occurrences in which he has been the central
figure some of them have appealed to
him to make no allusion to the subject
in his speech he is to make in New York
on Tuesday on the occasion of Robert
Emmetfs Day. One of his closest personal
friends and warmest political supporters
called upon Senator Tillman today
and urged him to be prudent in his
utterances while in New York. This
gentleman said PS
"i fiave ttULen the liDerty ot hedging
Senator Tillman not to make any reference
to recent occurrences, in the Senate
daring his address in New York. It will
not do him any good, nor will it be any
benefit to South Carolina. The whole affair
of the past week was unfortunate aDd
can only work to the injury of South
Carolina if the subject is kept airve"
Another prominent Sonth Caror^an, in
commenting upon the Tillman-McDiarin,
incident, said: . v
"Senator Tillman is going to New
York to deliver an address before the
Robert Emmett Association. He goes to
appealto the passions and prejudices of
a class of people who are easily influenced
and excited by impassioned oratory and
violent assault on the personal integrity
of what is known as the rich people of
the country. I fear he will allow his impulsive
nature to carry him beyond the
bounds of discretion, $ad he may be
tempted to give utterance to sentiments
which all of his friends in South Carolina
may regret. For his sake I hope will restrain
himself and remember that his
rival, SenatorMcLaurin, only a few weeks
ago, delivered an able and dignified address
at the annual dinner of the New
York Chamber of Commerce."
It was known that Senator McLaurin
has been in communication with the
President about his visit to the Charleston
Exposition, but the Senator said that
the correspondence which had passed between
them was of a personal nature
rather than an official one and for that
reason he begged to be excused from giving
it to the public. But the substance
of the letter was that Senator McLaurin
assured the President that Lieutenant
Governor Tillman did not represent the
sentiment of the people of South Carolina
and that he would be assured a warm
welcome if he carried out his original intention,
and requested the President to
make no definite announcement until the
directors of the Exposition and others
had opportunity to repudiate it. The
Senator also said in the letter that he
would have called in person, but that he
feared a personal visit at this time might
be somewhat embarrassing. The Senatoi
was urged to give the reply of the President,
but stated that he could not do so,
but that it was couched in the most friendly
terms and entirely satisfactory.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, toofe
occasion Saturday morning.to express
personally to Senator McLaurin his ap.
proval of the latter's course in connection
with the recent Tillman-McLaurin altercation.
Senator Hoar and Senator Tillman
have hitherto been regarded as warm
friends, and because of their radical difference
in characteristics this friendship
i has caused considerable comment. Senator
Hoar is the arch enemy of the entire
Philippine policy, and this has practically
been the one question on which he and
the senior Senator are agreed. It was
supposed that because of Senator McLauria's
attitude in supporting the Administration
in its Philippine policy he had
thereby aroused Senator Hoar's dislike.
Senator Hoar's conversation with Sentor
McLaurin occurred shortly after the
Senate convened at noon. Mr. McLaurin
was sitting at his desk when Mr. Hoai
told him he had a statement to make tc
. him and, beckoning to Senator Teller
who was sitting near, added that he wished
to make it in the presence of the lat
ter. "I have made a carefnl study of thu
whole unfortunate occurrence," the Massachusetts
Senator continued, "and I feel
that I must tell you that I approve of youi
1 course. Under the circumstances you
could not have- acted otherwise. I saj
this to you now, but in due time I intend
io pxprpss to the Senate my views in th(
matter." As the conversation ended and,
while Mr. McLaurin was thanking Mr.
Hoar for his remark, Mr. Tillman enter- ,
ed the Senate chamber and took his seat ]
a few seats to the right of his colleague. {
Senator Hoars remarks, though, of .
course, in a conversational tone, were a
easily audible in the gallery directly above
Senator McLaurin's desk.
Senator Hoar was a member of the sub- '
committee of the Senate committe on ;
privileges and elections, to which was referred
the entire question of what punishment
should be given the South Carolina ;
Senators for their conflict in the Senate
chamber last Saturday, and was designat- ]
ed to write the majority report of the
committee, which, while recommending i
equal censure to both the offending Sena- (
tors, as a matter of expediency, expressed
the opinion that Senator Tillman had ;
committed the greater offence. Senator \
Hoar is reported as saying in committee j
~ 11- ?
that Senator Tinman nauequauy asmutu
right to impugn his motives in his voting
as he did the motives of Senator McLaurin.
W. J. Thackston, who has been secretary
to Senator McLaurin, has has resigned
his position and will return to Greenville,
there to resume private business.
This move is made necessary by a change
in the firm of Thackston, Furman & Co.,
to Thackston & Son. During his stay in
Washington Mr. Thackston has made
many friends, who will regret his departure.
The Senate has confirmed the nomination
of E. B. Purcell to be postmaster at
Newberry.?R. M. L., in News and Courier.
The Hnmor of It.
Some of the civil service questions this
year contain the essence of humor and
may be paraphrased thus :
How would a bow-legged man get
through the eye of a needle?
If your grandfather should marry your
mother-in-law's second cousin what do
you suppose the old lady would think of
it?
What is the average rainfall in the state
of Kentucky, and do the colonels there
appreciate it?
Who is Chauncey M. Depew, and what
do you understand by his jokes?
Hard Times.
We bear much complaint about ine nam
life of the farmer. I think mnch of this
is a great mistake. Life upon the farm
need not be filled with hardships, at least
it is safe to say that it compares favorably
with any other calling or profession.
I say favorably. By that I mean that
other callings have as many, and, with
most men, more troubles, trials, disappointments
and failures. I mean to say
that, all considered, farming is the easiest,
surest, and pleasantest way to make a
living in the South. Other callings have
their hardships. Men get up early, labor
hard and continuously, sit up late, and
after all this, have hardly enough to live
upon.
Thousands of city toilers have no light.
It is a toil day in and day out and no
change or prospect of change for the better.
Men whose families are growing up
around them do not find their salaries
growing proportionately. But the farmer
can add to his crop year by year more
and broader acres or he can plow deeper
and manure more and thus increase his income.
By studying his business he can
add new and better methods all along and
thus get larger pay for his time and toil.

Danger of Colds and La Grippe. <
i
The greatest danger from colds and la
grippe is their resulting in pneumonia. If
reasonable care is used, however, and
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all
danger will be avoided. Among the tens
of thousands who have used this remedy
for these diseases, we have yet to learn of
a single case having resulted in pneumonia,
which shows conclusively that it
is a certain preventive of that dangerous
malady. It will cure a cold or an attack
f la grippe in less time than any other
treatment. It is pleasant and safe to
take. For sale by Bamberg Pharmacy.

his skill in cross-examining a witness, had :
an odd-looking genius upon whom to operate.
"You say, sir, that the prisoner is a 1
thief?"
"Yes, sir; 'cause why? ?she confessed

"And you ulso swear she was employed
by you suteequent to the confession?"
"I do, sir."
"Then," (joying a sagacious look to
the court), "we are to understand that
you employ dishonest people to work for
you even after their rascalities are
known?"
"Of course; how else could I get assistance
from a lawyer?"

and remove the cause of such
troubles. C. E. Hooper, Albany, Ga.,

a donkey cart. The patient beast was

guiding his machide with the other hand,
pushed so hard that the donkey, taking

CHARLESTON "LOST."
Ln Episode of the Telegraph After ?

How powerfully the Imagination may *

of Forth in 1828, lived and flourished in
captivity until 1887.
Horses, giraffes and ostriches have
the largest eyes of land creatures, cuttlefish
of sea leasts.
Grizzly cubs born in captivity are almost
impossible to raise. Of twentythree
born at Cincinnati only one lived,
m,** vaWmn dncr will eat almost any
of the dried fruits. The sour or add
fruits, as the orange, lemon, lime, shaddock,
etc., as well as the sour plums
and the bitter olives, are rarely eaten.
To protect itself from the rain the
orang outang crooks its arms over its
head. The hair on the orang's upper
arm points downward, while on the
lower arm it points upward, the apparent
purpose being to shed the rain
like a thatch.

Why Did They Abandon Pompeii T
At a period when newspaper discussions
were rather vapid, despite the accredited
appearance of the sea serpent
and the arrival of the large potato,
Max Nordau in an Austrian journal
propounded s. problem that should lead
to useful inquiry:
Why was It that the inhabitants of
Pompeii did not return to their homes
after the destruction of the city?
Of the 30,000 inhabitants a few hundreds
at moat seem to have lost their
lives. The eruption of Vesuvius lasted
only a few days. The deposit of lava
and ashes was not very thick. The
houses might have been easily repaired.
Many of them stand to this day. They
were beautUUl houses, many of them,
richly appointed and containing valuables
of great price. Had the Pom
peiians no love of borne, or were they
too superstitious, or did their terror at
the eruption make them believe the
disaster might come again?
Drlakimir Water In the Navy.
For many years after the close of the
civil war water was not generally distilled
in vessels of the navy except on
long voyages. Later on medical statistics
showed that in ships where distilled
water only was used there was
almost an entire freedom from dysentery
and enteric fevers, while these disorders
were more or less common in
v<?88els that used water purchased in
different ports. Gradually the practice
of distilling water for drinking
purposes became general, and now
vhore water is seldom purchased, the
distilling plants of our ships being-ample
for all demands.?Argonaut.
Creeds and Trades*
Certain creeds seem to monopolize
certain industries. Practically all
British manufacturers of cocoa, for
example, are Quakers. Then, in London
at any rate, a very large percentage
ot cigar merchants and all the
best known manufacturers of Christma*
ca>ds are Jews. Whenever a
Welshmai comes to London to seek his
fortune it's long odds on his making a
pile either in the draper's or drug
store busings. Irishmen, probably
owing to the fact that they lack the
money nankin* instinct, flock to Journalism.?

"In the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was
taken down with a severe attack of what
is called la gr|)pe,". says F. L. Hewett. a
a prominent druggist of Winfield, 111.
"The only medcine I used was two bottles
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke
up the cold aid stopped ihe coughing
like magic, anl I have never since been
troubled with grippe." Chamberlain's
Cough remedy cin always be depended
upon to break up a severe cold and ward
otf any th:.*eatene< attack of pneumonia.

Not His Fault at All.
They were quite newly married, and

She had left his side to look in a winlow

nantles which were "just lovely." When
ihe returned, she took the arm which
seemed to be half grudgingly proffered
ind sobbed:
"You don't even lo-look at anything I
vant you to?to see. You do?don't care
iow I am dressed. You no longer lo?
ove me. You haven't even ker?kissed

"I am extremely sorry, madam, but that

gentleman, looking pathetically down in;o
her face.
She looked at him and gasped. She
aad taken the arm of the wrong man.?
