No responsible or intelligent person, we suppose, attaches the slightest im portance to the disorderly remarks in which Senator Tillman has been in dulging for the past two or three weeks. The Senator, with all his great ability, sometimes loses his head and performs like a crazy man. For example, he abuses newspapers gen erally, those which have been his friends as well as those which have have been his foes, insinuating that they are improperly influenced. The papers which he defends, the papers which he admires meanwhile, ai'e in several cases, those against which evidence of cor ruption has been adduced. Senator Tillman acquired many years ago a reputation for saying things that are not true. In the heat of speech making he villifles everybody, more or less, and he does not spare his follow ers. For instance, he has not hesitated to impute corruption to the Hon. J. Wright Nash of Spartanburg, who has been his faithful adherent and he may be expected to destroy the good name of any man who happens to cross his path, regardless of former friend ship. Senator Tillman's friends do not look for him to be careful of the truth in speaking of those whom he dislikes and they wink at this habit of his as a trivial defect in a great per sonality. Senator Tillman's abuse of his oppo nents is to the latter of no importance whatever. We would be much embar rassed if the Senator looked with favor on this newspaper or regarded it as h>nest. We hope he thinks it is sub sidized and that he has the utmost con tempt for it. If THE ADVERTISER bad the respect of the Senator, it would be suspicious of itself and we know that the more he abuses it and other inde pendent newspapers, the more they will h ive the friendship of better men than he is. But there is a phase of his campaign of abuse that has an importance which w.' would point out. The Senator denounces everybody just as he did in 1890. Governor Hey ward ii one of those against whom he brings the grave charge of neglect of official duty. This will have no effect on any of Governor Heyward's friends; but it i i intended as a defence of the dispen sary system. Now the State dispensary c indidates for Governor, Messrs. Man ning, McMahan and Sloan may derive advantage from this campaign of abuse by Senator Tillman. We do not be lieve they sympathize with it. But why do they not rebuke it? Everybody bc I eves that Tillman is doing his level best to elect Mr. Manning but Mr. Manning is not the sort of man that we take him to be if he allows the Sena tor's assault on Governor Heyward to pass unchallenged. We cannot believe that he would care to be Governor by means of Tillman's slanders. We think moreover, that Messrs. Sloan, McMa han and McLeod will place their disap proval of Senator Tillman's methods on record before the campaign is over. # COMMISSIONS AGAIN. A cotton mill in this State less than 100 miles from Laurens has issued to its stockholders a letter stating that by changing its selling agents it has saved two per cent on its capital stock during the past year. "I do not know of a better place for this than to turn it over to the stockholders" writes the president and treasurer to them and .-?ends them an extra dividend of two per cent. Here in the Laurens mill a similar re duction in cost of selling was effected 18 months ago. Everybody knows the j result. The Millikens bought a controll ing interest. They elected a board of directors, the majority of whom are South Carolinians and that board in stantly cancelled a two per cent con tract with a responsible house and turned the business back into the hands of the Millikens at 4 per cent. Why? It will be remembered that this can cellation had nothing to do with effect ing the change in management. The change bad already been effected. No reason for this cancellation has ever been given. Meanwhile, mills on ail sides are reducing commissions. We do not know that we can cause this mill to be managed in the interests of the stockholders but we can keep the facts before the public. Laurens mills would have saved more than 2 per cent on its capital had not the Stevens contract been cancelled. ? If our public square should be con verted into an attractive "piazza" or park, similar to that of the public square in Anderson, the value of the real estate facing the square would be much enhanced. The public square stores of Anderson sell for three times the prices that those of Laurens sell for. The formation of "Fairview County" would go far to placing the cities of Greenville and Spartanburg in control of this Congressional district. ? Sixteen years ago Senator Tillman promised lower taxes. ? Read S. M. &. E. H. Wilkes & Co.'s advertisement in this paper and you will not wonder why they have such crowds every day. S. M. & E. H.

It is hardly to be expected that the readers of The Advertiser should be interested in the meeting of the State Press association, in itself; but inasmuch as it was held at the Isle of Palms in tho harbor of the principal city of South Carolina they ought to want to hear something about it. From our earliest recollections we have heard Charleston referred to as a most de lightful place to visit. Wo have heard her people complimented in the highest terms for their .hospitality and their cordiality, and frequently in the same breath have we heard her spoken of as without business life or activity. The latter is without foundation. The sup|>osi'.ion is grounded on the neglect of opportunity or the lack of observa tion. There is more to see in Charles ton outside of tho business world than in all the other towns of the South. The people of Charleston know it and as Charlestonians and South Carolinians are justly proud of it. They are big hearted and when visitors go there business is put in the back ground and Charleston looms up, artistically, his torically and socially. For evidences of business, you must do your own look ing. The Press Association had a printed program for work. The actual pro gramme was one constant round of pleasure and sight-seeing. The up country does not understand Charleston. Wo like her but we do not know her. To overcome this disadvantage we should all visit her at least once the year and every South Carolina business man should cultivate commercial rela tions with her. The natural advantages of Charleston are unsurpassed by any city of the South and it can easily be made a city of the very first importance. The people of the Piedmont owe it to their children and to the state to do their part. M. L. C. Docs This Fit Mr. Lumpkin? An interesting story comes from Houston, Texas, and is vouched for by the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Globe-Democrat's Houston correspond ent says: "One of the remarkable in cidents of the present campaign is the withdrawal of J, W. Campbell, who was a candidate for the legislature from Cooke county. Mr. Campbell and his opponent, Mr. Blanton, were to make a talk at Burns, a little town in Mr. Campbell's end of the county. Mr. Blanton led off with his talk, in which he was highly complimentary to his opponent, and in which he confined himself to a discussion of the issues without indulging in any sort of person ality save in compliment. At the con clusion of Blanton's talk Mr. Campbell arose and, instead of answering, he said: 'Gentlemen, I have listened at tentively to what Mr. Blanton has had to say. I approve of what he stands for. He has had experience, and I will ask you to return him to the legislature. I'm a pretty good farmer, and I will go back to the farm. What I'm inter ested in is having a good man in the legislature.' "?The Commoner. Dots Front Pea Ridge. Pea Ridge, July 21.-Mr. R. 0. Hairston has the finest watermelon patch on the Ridge.

The] cattle lick carries the "germ" thatj causes Texas fever, a disease very fa-> tol to grown cattle. Cattle that are, raised on land infested with ticks are, inoculated with the germ by becoming infested with ticks immediately after birth. At this age they suffer a very mild attack of the disease with no visi ble external symptoms anil after they have passed through it they are then proof against the infection and can be exposed to ticks later in life without harm. But if cattle are. raised on land on which there are no ticks and are af terwards moved to tick-infested lands, they will become infected with the dis- j ease if they remain on the land on which they were raised and tic-k-infest od eattle are introduced among them. Because of thcso facts the Federalj Government has established a quaran- j tine line across the country dividing the regions infested with ticks from those in which there are no ticks. No eattle can be moved from the tick-in Posted regions across this quarantine line ex cept when they are being shipped for butchering to a slaughter-house which has direct railroad connection. South Carolina is placed below tIii? quaran tine line among the tick-infested regions. Hence, cattle cannot bo shipped from this state to points above the quaran tine line except for immediate slaugh ter. Cattle for dairy purposes,' or for feeding or breeding are barred. .Thus, the market for the cattlo produce*I in the state is considerably restricted. Some of the states included within the tick-infested area, notably Virginia, North Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma, which had within their boundaries an area in which licks existed only on a j few farms or ranches, have succeeded 1 in having such areas placed above the quarantine line, thus opening new mar-j kets for the cattle raised therein." This was accomplished by the passage, of a law by the legislature establishing a state quarantine dividing the slightly infested area from the other pt.rt of the state and the eradication of the ticks from the infected places in the slightly infested area. When these conditions were brought about tha state quarantine line was then adopted by the Federal Government and made a part of the national quarantine line. This plan is just as feasable in South Carolina as in any of the states men tioned. In a great, part of the state since the passage of the stock law the cattle tick has become almost, extinct and exists only on a place here and there. Tho first step in the matter, however, must be taken by the legisla ture. A little love, a little wealth.

Two negro boys, Shelton and Wess Black, brothers, aro in jail charged with tho murder of Jim Young, also colored, who was shot to death in the town of Clinton about four weeks ago. The Clack boys, aged 17 and 19, respect ively, became involved in a difficulty with Young late at night when the nimble pistol was brought into play with the result that Young wns killed on the spot. The Blacks skipped out and were not heard of until last week when the sher iff received information that the boys were in the vicinity of Westminster. Wednesday Deputy Sheriff Sullivan went over and after a drive of a few rules from Westminster, the boys were found and arrested. They were brought here and placed in jail Thursday after noon. LIGHTNING STRUCK WAREHOUSE. Campcrdown Cotton Mill Sustains Con siderable Loss as Result. Lightning struck the cotton ware house and cloth room of the Camper down cotton mills at Greenville Thursday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, and immedi ately after the crash lire broke out in three places. Despite the heavy down pour of rain at the time a loss of $10, 000 was sustained before the flames could be checked. The loss, however, is covered fully by insurance. The Camperdowu mill is next to the oldest manufacturing establishment in this section. Stored in tho warehouse at the time of the lire were 550 bales of cotton, some of which had already been dyed. The mill manufactured ginghams and Othor like dry goods ready for the counter trade. There were a number of bales of this class of goods stored in the same room with the cotton. By some fortunate circcumstanco not a person was injured, but the expres sion that lightning never strikes twice in the same place was disproved. Sev enteen years ago the same warehouse was struck by lightning and considera ble damage done. Bents the Music Cure. "To keep the body in tune," writes Mrs. Mary Brown, 20 Lafayette Place, N. Y.
