Washington, Fob. 13,-Since his speoch ill I lh Senato, Senator Tilhnan, of Sout Carolina lis read inuerous lot ters from Demo crats appealing to him to stato his position, otherwiso his speech in tho Senat would he of groat harm to the party. In reply to a letter from a friend in South ii Carolin, Honator Till mian writes as follows an1 puts himself onirecor without a doubt : "I havo your let tor of Fobrua ry 5, and apprecia to very much your kind words of cominn (ndation. In order to preserve the unity of the whito Democracy of South lar lina we cannot act on your sug gestion not to seind dolegates to the national coivention at Chica go. We have already Captured the State Democ rnecy. Wo are the Stato Democracy and wo must go to Chicago -a such, preparo)d to bolt, if neved h and ally oursolvos with the fria silver men of the West.

If the national convention does not aidopt a plat form to suit us and put on1 t nm abovo Suspicion as to his loyalty, we can then leave the party, hut not before. The ef fort of onary true friend of silver land financial reforni hould bo 'di rocted to having our Stato Domo cratic couvention composod Bolid ly of men iof their own way of thinking, so as to have it act as a unit."

Eggs are so piontifull now ii inevitable and1( everyP votor in th< county cou ld beo suppliedl by the State. TVhe Sentinjel c'ompllainod sometime ago, flhat tihe voters ask~ for eggs and thue State gave them scorpions. We do not remember what season of the year that tho~ voters were clanorous for eggs. but presumb fromn the remarks of the Sentinel that it was in scowX p)ion season. Fruit out-'of season, is a thing out of reason, and it isesthat hen fruit is no0 excel) tion to the rule. It has always been a puzzle to us, why~the voters of Pickens county were asking for eggs as5 the Sentmotl states, and it was cruel im the State to deny them, if they wvanted theni to mix with their blind tiger liquor.

It requires overy person, firm, company or corporation in -any trade, business or profossion, iamod in the bill to obtaim a li cense thorofor. Failuro to secure a licenso entails a penalty of 5C por cent on amount of tho licenso. Every one is requred to file a pre limmary statement as to the busi ness done and is inl case of failurd to do so or a falso statement is made or in case of refusal to talen an oath as to the correctuess of the statement tho county auditor proceeds to ascertain the amount of business done. It the tax is not paid inl ten days after it is due the county treasurer issues an ex ocution and it is collected with an additoonal penalty of 5 per cent. The licensos apply to one partica. lar place of business, except in case of lawyers, dentists and auc tioneers. Comnaun11iated.

The first day I sold ten sets and made $2.40. Everybody I asked bought. They were so cheap and as nice as they could get In the stores for C1.o a net. Tme second day I could only work half a da and I sold eight sets. The first wee I had raised the money for the Interest. Why wont everyoro buy new silver spoons for le than it would cost to have the old ones repiated? I will make easy ,15.00 or $20.00 every week. These hard times there are many wanting money, and this Is a chance that should be seized at once. Anyone can get a sample of throo silver tea spoons by directing as above. Sealed Bids.
