TALK OP THE TELLMANS. Nephew and Uncle Exchange the Compliments of the Season. When Col. James H. Tillman, who is ill in Asheville, saw the statement to the effect that he was dying in a lonely cottage, poverty-stricken and filiendless, he replied through the press that this was a mistake. And when Senator Bejamin R. Tillman ^ was asked about this statement he re.J .1... J 1 _ .1 T > 1 Cnt piieu, as suiieu tu me juuruu oaiurday afternoon: "He is reaping what he has sown. Nemesis is dogging his footsteps, and wili dog them to, the grave." On learning that the senator had made this remark about him, James Tillman called his sister, Mrs. Geo. A. Bunch, of this city, over the long distance phone and said to her: "Senator Tillman can go to hell. He has not yet reaped what he has sown, and when he does, it will be much bitterer than that which James H. Tillman is reaping. He thinks that he is fooling his Jesus, but he is not." ' Mrs. Bunch, in an interview with a reporter for the Journal, said: "It's a poor kind of gratitude that Senator Tillman is showing; but we are not asking for anything. He seems to have forgotten that James Tillman is his own nephew and that Col. George Tillman, father of James Tillman, and ihy father, an older brother of Senator Tillman, was more like af father to him than like a brother. Why, he assisted him in an educational manner and helped him financially and politically. He borrowed money from him when he v made his race for the governorship of South Carolina. "If this branch of the Tillman family was an anxious for publicity and wanted to get in the limelight as much as Senator Tillman does, some startling revelations might be made public; things of which the public has never dreamed of. "James Tillman does not need any money from Senator Tillman nor has ^ he asked anything of the senator. VnrtliorTTinrci ho will Tint flfik" flTIV thing of Senator Tillman. It was on acocunt of Ben Tillman that James first got into his trouble, and he was being used as a tool by Ben when his downfall in the political world started. -James was following the advice of Senator Tillman and was not heeding the advice of his * own father. Yes, it is hard to believe that this is the kind of gratitude that is being shown for it, and it seems h&rd to believe that Ben Tillman would say: 'He is reaping what he has sown.' "I have just returned from Asheville," continued James Tillman's sister, "where I have spent some time with my brother. His health is fine. I have never seen more marked improvement in any man. Why, when he was carried there it was on a stretcher, and the man was scarcely able to lift his head. It was necessary to get ^im out of the train on ^ /^i + irv-n nroo Liic a Li ciuuci, auu mo V/Uuuiuuu wao grave. Now he is able to sit up on the porch and eat many things. He was well enough to phone to me Saturday night. And it will be seen that his health must be pretty good, as a sick man could not write a reply to a publshed statement as James did. i "He has everything he wants, including the services of Dr. Carl Reynolds, one of the best physicians in Asheville, and a trained nurse. It is true that we changed nurses, but it was because the previous one was too meddlesome, and it is said that she wrote to Senator Tillman for money. If she did so it was without the knowledge of James or myself. .She perhaps was trying to obtain other money from the senator to use for herself. Since she left we have learned that this same nurse was discharged from a hospital in Baltimore for meddling in some of her patients' private business. "James lives in a nice little cottage which is very comfortable. He has more fruits and other delicacies than his physician will allow him to eat. The statement that he is friendless and dying in poverty is the most absurd thing I ever heard in all my life." Mrs. Bunch continued: "The first statement that we saw appeared in an afternoon paper in Asheville. I was on the point of leaving, and had already boarded a train, when James sent a message to the station asking mA to come back for another dav. The shock at seeing lies in print made him worse for the time, and the excitement that it brought on did him no good. I stayed several days longer with him in Asheville and will go back to him at any time that I can be of any service to him or can help him in any manner."? Spartanburg Journal.

Henry Spencer Booth, who has resigned from the pastorate of the Centenary Methodist Episcopal church of Morristown, to-day gave out an open letter addressed to Bishop William P. Anderson, of Chattanooga, president of the Holstein conference, of which Rev. Mr. Booth is a member. In the letter he says he is cutting in earnest at the "roots of the evils that are sapping the vitality of Christianity" and he begins on his own denomination. He affirms that there is too much watered stock in Methodism; that preachers and other official pad statistics as to the number of conversions, etc., to make fine showings in reports and to maintain prestige, that the church has gone daffy on organization and machinery, and thus "largely crushed and ground the very life out of what real religion we ever had." After expressing cordial personal esteem for Bishop Anderson, the letter, which is lengthy, concludes: "I am after the 'system.' I call on Methodist preachers everywhere who are weary of acting as puppets in the toils of a great ecclesiastical machine, to unite in opposing the abuse and espionage to which they are constantly subjected and to protest vigorously and forcibly against the oligarchy." Rev. Mr. Booth declares he will carry his campaign into every State in the Union. Mad Dog Runs Amuck. Anderson, Jan. 26.?A mad dog ran amuck here to-day, biting two white boys and three negroes, and several dogs. It disappeared before it could be captured and to-night the officers are searching for it. The dog started his run at Coxe's creek just east of the city where it attacked a negro man named Ware who was working in the creek shoveling sand. Ware had on rubber boots and the dog's teeth did not reach his flesh. The dog then circled through the Bailey place, attacking and severely biting a negro man. It proceeded through the city through Calhoun street where it attacked Elmira Henderson, the young son of E. W. Henderson, a traveling salesman, biting him in cpvpto! nlaops. The next person attacked was a small white hoy named Duvall in the Cox mill village. The last person reported to have been bitten was a negro near the Cox mills. The dog attacked him from behind, and it was necessary for the negro to fight the beast off. The dog is described as an undersized shepherd, and a thorough search will tbe made for it to-morrow. It is probable that the persons bitten will be taken to Columbia to the Pasteur institute to be treated. One or two dogs known to have been bitten by the shepherd dog have been killed by officers. ENDORSED FOR "AGRICULTURE" Lever Expected to Land Imoprtant Committee Chairmanship. Washington, Jan. 26.?Representative Lever has received the solid endorsement of the South Carolina delegation in Congress for chairman of the House committee on agriculture. There appears now to be no doubt that Mr. Lever will land at the head of this committee, although he stated to-day that he wanted it understood that be would not make a fight against the present ranking Democratic member, Congressman Lamb, of Virginia. He so informed the members of the ways and means committee to-day. Sacrifices Life in Vain. Reidsville, Ga., Jan. 25.?Trying in vain to save the life of her 11-' VAar-nld dnn^btpr fln+hinar was caught in the shafting of a cotton gin, Mrs. J. R. Wilkes sacrificed her own life and that of her 6months-old baby to-day, near Elsa, this county. The little girl screamed for aid as she felt herself being drawn towards the machinery and her mother, who was nearby, sprang to aid her. She, too, was caught, and the baby, which was in her arms, was hurled against the floor and killed instantly. The mother and daughter died soon after being torn from the shafting. Attack Like Tigers. In fighting to keep the blood pure the white corpuscles attack disease germs like tigers. But often germs multiply so fast the little fighters are overcome. Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt-rheum and sores multiply and strength and appetite fail.

Willie T. Hamilton Arrested by United States Marshal. Hampton, Jan. 2d.?Willie T. Hamilton, a prominent planter who resides near Hampton, was to-day served with a warrant by the United States marshal, Mr. Kennelly, of Orangeburg, charging Mr. Hamilton with keeping a negro man in peonage. After Mr. Hamilton had been ar rested he came to Hampton and employed an attorney and was taken to Orangeburg for a preliminary hearing before the United States commissioner. Mr. Hamilton states that he had the negro in his employ for some months in order to protect him from violence offered by other persons. The negro left his employ a short while ago but just how and when the case was made against Mr. Hamilton can not be ascertained. Mr. Hamilton has many friends in Hampton and the entire cou"*y 'vho believe him guiltless. Makes Miraculous Escape. Lancaster, Jan. 26.?Fred Lathan, a negro brakeman on the Lancaster & Chester railroad, miraculously escaped death here this afternoon when he was caught and pinioned to the ground by the lever of a coal car which jumped the track and overturned as it was being run from the main line, over the spur to the ice factory. When first rescued from his preilous position the negro was thought to be in a dying condition, but he quickly revived and unless peritonitis sets in the company physician, Dr. G. W. Poovey, thinks he will fully recover. No bones were broken. Letter from Aunt Jane. Dear Peter:?Now that you've gone to town to 'tend school, I do hope you will not forget your good country raisin'. Some of them miserable town lads may try to teach you bad ways. But, my dear boy, as long as your name's Peter Judson give 'em all the go-by. If any of 'em should dare to oner you a cigar or a chew of tobacco, let 'em know you come out of a respectable family and the Judsons never smoke. Tell 'em your two grandfathers was sensible Christian men, and didn't make chimney pots of themselves, nor chew anything that wasn't good enough to swallow. Tell 'em your father is the same kind of a sensible Christian man, and he has begun to train you after that pattern. Be polite to 'em, Peter; don't hurt their feelin's; like as not they haven't had half the chance you have. Treat 'em all well, but never, as long as you live, give up to 'em in any of t&eir bad ways, no more'n if they was reg'lar ruffians, a-beggin' you to drink and swear. I hope to hear from you soon. Lumbermen Begin Terms. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. %i.?Five prominent and wealthy Southern lumbermen will enter the federal prison here to-day to serve sentences for peonage. They are W. S. Harlan, Robert Gallagher, Dr. W. E. Grace, C. C. Hilton and E. S. Huggins, all of Lockhart, Ala. Harlan and Gallagher will each serve 8 months and pay fines of $5,000. The three others will serve 13 months and pay $1,000 each. Their entrance into the prison is the last chapter of a famous case, hard fought through all the courts. The convicted men spent the night in a local hotel and awaited United States Marshal Thomas F. McGourin of Pensacola, who deliver them to the warden. They were permitted to come alone to escape the humiliation of being taken from their homes by an officer. Their cases were the first to originate in the South and the prosecution was vigorously pushed by the department of justice. The case was twice taken before President Taft in hopes he would sign pardons, but he refused to interfere. Koester Buys Daily Piedmont. Greenville, Jan. 27.?Geo. R.

Blease Friday afternoon, in demanding the resignation of Thos. E. Miller, colored, as president of the South Carolina Normal and Industrial college at Orangeburg, arose from. alleged political activity of Miller last summer against Mr. Blease, then a candidate for the Democratic nomination to the governorship. It is said also, in these dispatches, that the governor backed up his de- , mand for Miller's resignation with a threat that if Miller declined to quit, the governor would withhold his approval of vouchers or warrants, necessary to the procuring of money with which to operate the college. Miller is credited with having said in reply that he would not, by making a fight for any personal rights he might have, risk the prosperity of the college and he accordingly resigned, the board of trustees having meanwhile joined in the governor's request. "Pernicious political activity" was the reason assigned by Governor Blease for demanding Miller's resignation. Report says Miller will be succeeded by one of the professors in his faculty, N. F. Nix, with whom Miller had last year a fist fight that resulted in an official investigation. The presidency pays $2,000'a year. Miller's resignation is effective June 30. The trustees meet shortly after the ad-| journing of .the general assembly to j elect his successor. The Orangeburg End. The Record's correspondent at Orangeburg wrote as follows, under date of Friday evening: "tt became known here to-day that Thomas E. Miller, president of the: State Colored Normal and Industrial; college, located in this city, had re- j signed as president of institution and would send in his resignation to-morrow. Miller's Political Activity. "From what can be learned atj present, Miller's resignation was brought about by Governor Colemail L. Blease stating that he would not sign any vouchers which would be necessary for the college to get: money to run on. It seems that! Thomas E. Miller had opposed Mr. j' Blease's election for governor of the! I State and the governor told him that he did not think the president of a ^ State institution should take part in , politics and accused Miller of saying things which were untrue concerning ' him. President Miller then told; Governor Blease that he had not sup-1 ported him for governor, but had'1 not spoken detrimentally against him. Governor Blease then stated j to Miller that he would sign no: ( vouchers and without his signature to the vouchers it would be impossible for the college to get money to go on, he being chairman of the board of trustees. President Miller then stated to the governor that he did not wish to stand in the way of the prosperity of the school and that before he would allow the institution to suffer, he would resign. "The resignation of Thomas E. Miller, who has been for many years president of the State colored college, created a great deal of talk on the streets here this afternoon. President Miller's term will expire next October."?Columbia Record. MONEY FOR CHARLESTON YARD. J i ?
