TIIIUItSDAY, MAY 27, 1897. TILLMAN'S LETTER. That letter of Senator Tillman's Governor Ellerbo, which was the auso of so much talk and nows apor agitation, has boon repro ucod with som1e modifications and tublished at last. There was not talf as much in it as was general y expoected and disappointment .mong the gossipers must provail o an aarminiig extont.. The main subjects troatod in hat celebrated opistle are tho Ag icultural Hall case and the dis. )onsary scandals. About the Iat. ter h sayt amiong other things: "Samples were sent in groat unftltities wheni I was connocted with the d. ptnsairy, and not kIow ing what elso to do with them they wor freely dlist ributed among tho visitors to tho inst itt ion as on means o) f (eterii in itrg the qunlities of t hto liquors 1111d also as courtesv. I carried -omo to my honuso and used tiim, ats did Governor Evanls and I presmno the proesnt State board of control havo dono like wiBO, and I have no apology to make for it.. Durirng my term thoro woro very fow ot etr articles than liqurSi soized. though I re call the fact that kegs and small barrels of liquor woro found pauck ed in rice anrrels and also in ensks of hams.

No onie can cladim tiat C.thiis is a matter of imlpossibility, and1( if the~ system shall finally fail it will bo (owitng to the impropiIer' audministrationr o~f the laiw. So muchi fo' the genieral subject, now for paurt irulars. I have wait od to see thnis week's ''Ileadl1ighit," so0a itS havo't Ganrtt's specific chargos coveaprig tire ad ministra tiotn of thle law under '"Ren 'Till man andI Tlraxiar," and like oth era, I have been astonished at the effrontery which gives out so much smoke and so little fire. He mero ly dips his syringe into the gutter of filth and slimo emanating for the lust three years from the Newvs and Courier, thre State, the Spar tanburg Herald and the Groen ville Dailey News, with which the people have been so disgusted, and spatters me along with others with its contents. He, however, winds up with a reiteration of the cry: "Investigate, investigate, investi gate 1" I have not shunned nor dlreadodt an investigation), and I (10 nrot shun at nlow, butt 1 vonitutr the~ prediction that my otoieties will be sorry if one be ihold, and will declare that it is nrot honoestly made. They doa not watnt tire time to come when they cannot dig lip the question of rebatos and cast insinuations against miy honesty. 'When these Stato slanders ab~out rebates under my Administration were put in circulationi by the ne0wspapers, and then taken up by Gen;'Butler in the canvass three years ago, I .met them promptly and vigorously at Union and else where, and in the winter I joined with .Governor Evansl in asking that the Legislature should ap Soiuit aocommnittee to 'look into the diepensary's managemien tiand set 'Ihe ahr of."(f er"ri'toflnat rest' nancial affairahavo been investi gated and reported on time and Igauin by a Legislative committee, ne of whoso members was an Anti, incapable of seduction or of being induced to cloak wrong. rho committee has never yet made i report reflecting oi the integrity ,r honesty of its management. Now tho cry is "Investigate," and while Gantt, and no one else has, or can, give any satisfactory rea son why my administration of the dispensary should bo invostigated, I desire to ask the Governor to so lect a committee of citizons to on ter upon an investigation immedi ately, and I am willing to answer any inquiries made, and I doubt not that overy other man connect ed with the dispensary in any offi cial way, would be willing to do likewiso. The expense cannot be groat, and could be paid out of the contingent fund, and the mat. ter is of sufficient importance, I think, to warrant the outlay. Tho friends of the dispensary cainot allow it to h) undermind and smot.horod in filth by the gut torsnipos. who are running the editorial pages of cur daily papers, and if any corruption can be shown, other than what has al ready been shown to exist punish ment swift and sure should fol b,)w. I stand ready to explain and justify every act of mine in con' nection with the law, and 1 doubt no(t that Governor Evans can do likewise. Let the matt.r Ie sot at rest and the smoldering embers of envy aid hate he put out once for all." I)E A TII OF E4ATOI' ERAII:. E very whore Ie news of Senl a tor Earlo' (eath was roceived With great . sIdne ss and deep regret, anud evorybody seeiied rea(ly to Ox )IPS Sympaty for his family ill their hrereavemenI1t. Tho (eath of Seinator Earle comes with peculiar sorrow and puts an d to the h .pes and bright anticipations of his friends and adimirors, as his intellect had reached a poimt. near tho zenith an(d was expected to shino in fullest light and splendor, when it was removod. But grim leath clannod the victim and 'outi Carolina was deprived of the iervices of on of her purest and noblest sons in the highest posi tion of honor and trust. FroIm Liberty.

It is a rather light trick. It is press ing through trials and tribulations on flowery beds of ease, so to speak, hat and veil on and fan in hand, living on the fat of the land, Paul andl the Evangolist indeed suffored no such trials and tribu lations. No one had gone before them and cut dowvn tihe great for. ost of superstition and carried the light of the gospol far into the strong holds ol Paganism, as has been (1ono( in this ease.
