It was a beautiful expression, conveying the love and affection felt by one j true friend for another. Senator Tillman is out in a card I again denying the rumor which has i been industriously circulated in some! sections that he would support Blease j for governor. The Senator says he | is absolutely hands off in the race for governor, and will have nothing to do with it in any shape or form. He also adds that should he have later any reason to change his atti-1 tude of impartiality he will announce j it over his own signature. . Scholarships.

Young South Carolina Congressman Gets Early Recognition. ; Washington, April 29.?Xone of the first-term members of congress from the South, and very few of such members from any part of the couns try, can be justly said to have ac1 quired more influence in the deliberations of, the 62d session than Mr. James F. Byrnes, of the 2d South Carolina district. 1 This fact is the most remarkable in connection with the circumstances that Mr. Byrnes is also one of the youngest congressmen on the whole 1 - T_TV. rt*T-* o orrao f rlnol af XXSt* JT1C ildd ouunu a vuv uvai ui , practical ability in shaping matters , for presentation on the floor, and t likewise in advancing them in debate after they have come up for . consideration by the house. His success as an organizer has begun to . attract much attention from his col' leagues. One of the chief elements ' in his success is that he does not seem to care overmuch who gets the ! credit, individually, for promoting legislation in which he is interested, provided only that the legislation is promoted. The great influence of Mr. Byrnes in advancing the movement for fed' eral aid for good roads in the various States by organizing the advocates of this policy in a compact : phalanx behind a joint bill, offered as a rider to the postoffice appropri; ation bill, has been mentioned in this . correspondence. Mr. Byrnes has also been extremely active as a member of the war ' claims committee in pushing the effort to secure definite information from the governor as to the owner' ship of property captured and sold by the federal authorities during the civil war, and his bill on this sub1 ject, favorably recommended by the war claims committee, has been made . the subject of a long communication ' from the secrtary of war to the speaker of the house. Another committee on which the ; young South Carolinian has been prominent is the committee on bank. ing and currency, which made him a member of its sub-committee to . handle the money trust investigation. While at first in favor of the action of the house Democratic caucus, which assigned various phases . of this inquiry to other committees, Mr. Byrnes became convinced from subsequent experience as a member , of the sub-committee that if a genu ine investigation was to be made, it would have to be concentrated in one I committee with ample powers, and i in supporting the request of his sub! committee for such authority in the debate of Thurs-day, which resulted in an overwhelming accession to The sub-committee's views, Mr. Byrnes drew great applause by declaring, in a colloquy with Representative Trib: ble, of Georgia: "For my part, as a member of this sub-committee, I do not want to be connected with an investigation the result of which we know now would be a farce, because we would be stop ped at every step, and if we are to be hedged in, if we are to be restricted in our power, I can say to the house that I intend to ask the chairman to be relieved from duty upon this committee, because I do not desire to be one of a committee starting out to investigate a money trust, by direction of this house, and knowing from the very commencement of the investigation that we can absolutely make of it nothing but a farce."?K.

T1 Trustees Purchase Ten Acres for Pur- T1 pose of Erecting Boys' Dormitory. Orangeburg, April 29.?The trustees ?f Orangeburg college have pur- W chased the Slater tract of land, just ar beyond the Atlantic Coast Line rail- in road from the present property on bi South Broughton street. The price Jr paid for these ten acres, more or je less, was $5,500. This site is locat- ti< ed within the city limits and the or trustees think it will furnish ample gc I fViA nnllAffO i of gl UliUUS 1U1 tut The plans are to erect a boy's dor- to mitory on the new location as soon Sc as possible, while the old building co will be fixed up for the girls. In due gc course of time the entire college be plant will be located at the new site, an Just at this time the trustees thought ch it unwise to sell the present location, ce As yet the new president has not been elected, but this will be done wi shortly. The college curriculum will M b'e gradually raised, until it will be ev up to the standard of the other col- gc leges in this State. A big canvass be will be instituted this summer for students for the college. "W Several other sites were offered I th the trustees for the location of the in new college. A number of the peo- vc pie here hoped that the school w< would be completely moved to an- ac other location, but the trustees did re not think so and it will be some years of yet until the whole plant will occu- in py a new location and new buildings, er m DETERMINED TO END LIFE. gr ______ m Farmer, Fearing Trial for Murder, ca Killed Himself.
