Senators Should be Allowed' to Fight to a Finish, BEN TILLMAN IS NO FOOL. Oetavus Think** If Senate Would Permit Puglllatii Senator., to "Fight it Out’' H Would Prevent Snell Ulagr.icel'ul Orenr- rencea Farmnrs Hel.ii.d With Work, u.'ru ie.-uioridence of The Ledger.) Willie, Mch 17.—VVe humbly t g the pardon of our readers, and also of I’he J.e'ger for staying atvay so long, but reelly we suspect that the loss has been very light However we promise to try to cou e oftentr io the future. VVe don’t know where Mr. Black' burn lives, but we tbir.k that he acred wisely in publishing nis letter, commending Senator Tillman for his action ou the floor of the senate chamber, outside of this State where the people didn’t know any better. The people of this State know Senator Tillman better than that. There is one thing that we all know, and that is, that Senator Tillman is no fool, and had he known that it would have been a fight to the finish, we have very se rious doubts, in our mind, whether Senator Tillman would have struck that blow or not. We rather think hat if the senate would adept a rule allowing senators to fight to a finish, whan they get into their pugilistic tantrums, it would go farther toward preventing such disgraceful occur rences than suspension afterwards. Sam Stagg was tried and iouod guilty last week at Spartanburg, for the murder of J 0. Chapman on the 2(i’h day of last January The jury naviug recommended him to merc>, his sentence was life time imprison ment. Mr. Joe Clayton’s baby died o f pot-umoma the 10th, inst., and was buried at. Holly Springs on the lltb. Our farmers are badly behind with their work now, but they are cei- (aiuly utilizing every moment tbai the weather will permit. Until South Carolina elects men of honor to sit in her high places she need not expect anything else bui to he degraded. Of course as to the Jim Tillman epinod*-, no one ever ex pected any better ol mm. VVe have heard wheat raisers say that wheat always depended largely upon the May seasons for a crop. If so, it is well that it is so this year, because the prospect for a wheat crop at this time is the poorest that we nave ever seen, and the oat crop will depend almo-t entirely upon the spring planting. VVe reck m that * Farmer,” of Jonesville, and Mr. Black, of (.rassy Pond, are right in advising the boys to stick to the farm, hut the prospect for the farmer, for the last few years has been very gloomy and our candid opinion is. that had *e stuck to the farm exclusively, that we would not have now been here to tell the tale (perished) Farming, though, is like other trades; all tmn were| not made for farmers. Just imagine what Spartanburg and Cherokee counties would have been, had the boys all “stuck” to the farms While we don’t claim to be compe tent to give the boys advice, we will merely suggest that if they are doing well on the farm to stick to the farm, but if they are not doing well on rh*- farm. to try something else, and when they find an occupation at wuich they can succeed why, stick to it. Miss Ruth Thompson, a student ot Ro 'k Hill college, spent a few days last week with her parents. Dr. and Mrs. R E Thompson, of Clarence Mr. J. K. Atkins and family, of Pickens county, and also Mr. J B Finley, spent several days not long since, visiting in this section Our farmers seem to be hauling guano very sparingly so far, but per haps bv the time they get through they will have hauled about the usual amount. W. R Johnson went to Hpartan- burg this week on business. This section is now pretty well covered with the so-called free rural mail delivery. VVe only lack one route of having our section entirely covered from Campnbello to Willie, and the carrier. Ed Jackson, expect to mak his rounds on the first of April Now I want to say that if the rural de livery law is as some of the carriers claim it to be, requiring the patrons to buy boxes from u hem. giving them from $1 50 to 00 for boxes worth from 2oc to 50c. it is going to lie a great inconvenience to a large ma jority of the patrons. Wtf hear of considerable dissatisfaction with the service where they have been trying it. We think that one man has just as much right to have his mall brought to his door as another whether he happens to live on the public road or not. Or'r.wrs I’racticully Mtarvliiif. "After using a few bottles of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure my wife received per fect and permanent relief from a se vere and chronic case of stomach trouble.” says J.

Several physicians end many reme dies had failed to give relief.” Ybu don’t have to diet. Eat any good food you want, but don’t overload the stomach.

VVe hope the commis si ners will see after these bridges ana put them in order Mrs. 8. M. Powell and family, ol Rurherfordton, are visiting Mrs C. P. Wilkins this week. VVe are having some trouble about getting our mail during the last two weeks. The postmaster at Cowpen* hands the mail out to different peo pie and sometimes it reaches us aqd sometimes not. VVe hope the post master will be more cautious aboui the mail matter hereafter. We hear lots of complaint about the mail de livery here of late. A good many peo ple would take the county paper if we had better mail facilities. Rural delivery does not do much good; the old way is the best.
