BEN TALL .13*SPROGRA1M.
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. It would he a fat al hiblun
der not to enid delegates to the
uational Democratic conveintion
anid would only ho pultting it into
the handu of our gold bug oe
mnios.
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. A
sOormion wna a poo. maban.ut jo

zard was known to make one c
the best friends to tho blind tige

HOW WILLIE SAVED THE HOME.
T saw In our Advocate that tho Coin silverware Co.,
of Columbus, Ohio. would send a sample sot of six il.
ver plated teaspoons for 18 'c. stani a 'Isnt.angot
a set and sold them for 60 cents. 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.
