In diana" (Beveridge) Herc is the opinion ol' son c northern papers on Senator Till man's recent speech. The Washington Post says: "Benjamin Ryan Tillman, sena tor from South Carolina, in a speech in the senate yesterday, made thc nv st bitter attack on thc pr?sident that has yet fallen from tho lips of this fiery and vehement critic of thc administration and its party policies. There was no mincing of words, although he proceeded with caution, reading tho greater portion of his address from prepared manuscript. The senator commanded careful atton SENATOR B. R. TILLMAN, who soschathingly arraigned Pres, Roosevelt and downed Sena tor Beveridge i n de bato last week. MILLINERY a( Thursc 2nd, 19 son's wear, shapes a that is new and sty altem?.

Ag ours for honest dea lion until ho concluded, for whether senators agree with him or not, Mr. Tillman is an enter taining speaker, and always is as sured of an audience, both in thc galleries and on thc Moor. "The South Carolina senator easily demonstrated that he was tho best drawing card of thc body. "Thc announcement that ho! would speak lilied the galleries to the limit ol' their capacity long be fore thc hour for thc convening ot' the senate arrived, and through thc afternoon great crowds waited in thc halls ami corridors in a fruit less effort to obtain places that never were vacated. Tho near advent of spring caused a largo proportion of thc women, who formed the major part of thc gall cry audience, to weat shirt waists and summer gowns, which, with bright bits of ribbon and gay hats, prcscutcd a pretty picture." Tho Now York Sun says: "Tho Hon Benjamin R. Tillman enjoyed himself to tho top of his bent yes terday, overthrow ridiculously thc grand young man cf Indiana, who rushed in to defend the statesmen to whose counoils he contributes so much wisdom, and gave tho scnato the guilty joy of hearing tho universal bess prodded and jecrod. There is no adoquato punishment for Mr. Tillman, a scorner of dignitaries and a throw er of stones at thc shrines of the gods.

There has boon an increase of $536 in tho poll tax. Mr. Eastorling believes that tho dog tax should bo much moro than it is. Tho tax this yoar would in dicate that there are only 1102 dogs in tho county, but thoro aro probably three or four times that many. In Parnassus district the returns have been showing only 18 or 20 j dogs. Light Townsend recently ! made a canvass of that district, j however, and found 83 dogs. Tho same rate of increase in other dis tricts would make about 5000 dogs in tho county, which would yield a tux of $2500 for the schools. It is a well known fact that many people, especially negroes, claim that all the dogs "belong to the children," and do not return them at all. 1 ? p? a lal I DI ling being prices ?L? te in the Notion 3, handker skirts ever ?es, styles ?ers.
