SENATOR TILliMAN TO BE HEARD AGAIN Information Comes via Spartanburg That Senior Senator will Turn Himself Loose at Orangeburg, Soon. [James H. Rice, Jr., in Spartanburg Journal. ] The senior Senator from South Caro lina, long lost in the distant West, of which he has become an ardent ad mirer, was heard from two days ago, and quoted to the effect that he thought Bryan and Cannon would be the nomi nees. Moreover, he was quoted as say ing that he thought Bryan the greatest living democrat, and that may be ex plained on the hypothesis that most of the great democrats are dead. Information that professed to be au thentic came in a fortnight ago to the effect that Senator Tillman was going to make things interesting in a speech to be delivered some time soon at Orangeburg. From the inside informa tion lui'nished by a party in position to know, this speech is to be in the Sena tor's finest vein in other words, he is going to rip things widd open. Just hat is to be the particular line the party who brought the information did not say, but there would be something highly entertaining and worth living to hear. That was the extent of the in formation, and it should not be long de layed. Winter is the season for warm ing up things. The temperature per mits it. Senator Tillman has several times de clared that he would favor prohibition, if the dispensary failed. Last spring he was emphatic in saying that he would stump the State for prohibition another year. I reminded him that he had already had considerable amuse ment out of that question, and that it cost something?always did; that it was a profitless quest; that prohibition was a hedgehog, far more dangerous to cul tivate intimate relations with than to keep away from. But that individual has hardly ever paid close attention to well-meant advice, and has preferred to follow his own inclinations. Now, whether he is coming down to rip open that question or not, it is impossible to say. He is coming. He is going to make a speech. That is all known at present. But the facts are that South Carolina is going to have prohibition. It is not worth while wasting good paper and ink arguing the question. It may come this year or next year; but it iB coming. It is only a question of time. Arguments from revenue, arguments to show existence of blind tigers, argu ments to show anything, backed by any amount of facts, will bo utterly useless. For which reason there is no use trying to rip up anything. The en tire situation in the State has changed, and any argument Senator Tillman may make will be thrown away. It is due to say this, for Senator Tillmon's great powers should continue to be exerted toward solid and constructive ends. He has made a fight to solve the whisky question that will be remembered for ever in the history of the State, no matter what light-headed people may think of it now; and that fight has failed, because any solution would fail. The incident is closed, and he should be wise enough to see it. If anything will ever be done it must be accomplished through a slow process of education. The prohibitionist is now in the saddle. How to Cure a Cold. He as careful as you can, you will oc casionally take cold, and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability, one that has an established reputation and that is certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world-wide reputation by its remarkable cures of this most common ailment, and can be depended upon always. It acts on na ture's plan, relieves the lungs, aids ex pectoration, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to lenrn of a single case of cold or attack of the grip hav ing resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used, which shows con clusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotic, and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by Laurens Drug Co. NEGRO COLONIZATION TALK. Some Society Reviews Sceme of Sending Blacks Back to Africa. Richmond, Va., Nov. 14*?A move ment started in Colorado, where there is a colonization society for the purpose of sending the negroes back to Africa, has been espoused by O. M. Stuart, a well-known colored educator of this city. The movement is designed to ship to Africa all the negroes in the United States, where they may estab lish their own government, with an American protectorate. The worthless class of negroes are eager for the movement, while those who have accumulated property are op posed to going to a new country, where they will have to build themselves up all over again. The idea of the coloni zation movement is to appeal to the na tional government and to the several States for assistance, on the ground that the white people owe to the ne groes a debt which they will never be able to discharge until they have safely placed them in their own country, whence they were brought as slaves 250 years ago. The negroes claim that the impetus given America, while receiving the benefits of their labor, will not be lost in the next thousand years, and the United States can well afford to pay the debt to the colored brother. The commerce that would naturally spring up between the two countries would be worth untold millions, it is declared. It is suggested that the negroes be moved at the rate of one million a year, allowing twenty years to effect their complete colonization. Sick Headache.

Washington, Nov. 16.?A new star was added to the American flag by ad mission, formally into the Union of the State of Oklahoma. President Roose velt, at 10:16 this morning, signed the proclamation admitting the Territory of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, jointly, as one ol the American States. Little formality attended the cere mony. The president used a pen made from a quill plucked from the wing of an American eagle. The pen will be deposited with the Oklahoma Histori cal Society. There was no ceremony connected with the signing of the proclamation. This act was done in the cabinet room, to which had been admitted Senators Carter and Bacon, of Montana, and Warner, of Missouri, besides a number of residents of Oklahoma and newspa per representatives. The president en tered and was handed a long eagle quill pen by Secretary Loch, when he wrote his name in large letters, when he exclaimed, "Oklahoma is a State." Albert Hammer, of Enid, Oklahoma, secured the blotter with which the president blotted his signature. Just think 2H photographs, 4 different positions, for only. 25 cents.

The Royal FJoral Society of Owings Station held its annual fair Nov. 8, and most certaiidy was a perfect success in every department. Such an array of magnificent chrysanthemums, fine roses, carnations and other cut flowers, to gether with most luxuriant ferns, palms, citrus, begonia and other foliage and blooming plants would have done credit to a large state fair. The premiums were very liberal; among the winners of line prizes were Misses Daisy and Amanda Putnam, Carrie Stoddard, Lu cile White, Annie Ball, Susie Owings, Anna Owings, Sallie Owings, Mrs. Dr. Culbertson and Mrs. Dupre. The citi zens of Owings and the country sur rounding, know not only how to grow line plants but ulso how to serve fine meals; the dinner and supper of oysters, turkey and all the good things that go with it, then cream and cake, was most delicious and served to the large crowd with most abounding hospitality. The exercises closed with tableaux, char ades and music; all of which waa excol lent and did honor to those in charge of it. A handsome sum was netted for the benefit of the chapel soon to be erected at Owings. The visitors are all sorry that it must be a whole year be fore ihey can attend another fair here. The very efficient officers of this so ciety are Mrs. Raymond Hunt, Mrs. Putnam and Mr. Festus Curry. The following were the judges: ,Mr. L. A. McCord, Miss Katie Cook, Mrs. Stewart Pedcn, Mrs. Abner Kellett, Mrs. Marvin Owings, Mrs. J. J. Pluss. VISITOR. WILL TALK AT PROPER TIM!:. Attorney General Lyon Intimates That He Knows His Busniess. Columbia, Nov. 15.? Attorney Gen eral Lyon was asked yesterday if he had anything to say in regard to recent publications referring to his alleged failure to fulfill his pledge to put the dispensary grafters in stripes. Mr. Lyon replied that at the proper time, and to the proper persons, he would make reply to all such questions, but that he did not feel called upon to no tice anonymous attacks upon himself. If Mr. Lyon has any intention of abandoning his ambition to prosecute certain persons connected with the late State dispensary he has never inti mated such intention, and if he still proposes to carry out that policy it is very well understood that he would be too big a fool to occupy the office of attorney general if he should proceed to advertise his plans in the public prints. Those who know Fr?ser Lyon are satisfied that so far as in his power lies he will do his full duty in this and in every other matter that is presented to him. He is neither a mollycoddle nor a grandstand artist. Value of Corn. At the National Corn Exposition in Chicago was shown a great variety of corn products but little known, includ ing a dozen varieties of starch, six or eight of sugar and as many of syrups. Inmiensn quantities of corn go into the breakfast foods of the period. A corn kitchen is fairly bewildering in its long hill of fare. Not many years ago it was thought advisable for the govern ment to send missionaries to Europe to teach the people there that corn was cheap beyond comparison, when its nu tritive qualities are considered. Hut things have changed, and more corn is wanted at home. The foreign demand has become a minor matter. It is just three hundred years since the colonists at Jamestown planted the white men's first crop of corn. The In dians raised it after the'r fashion, and appreciated it so well that it was cele brated in annual dances. They recog nized the vnluc of so bountiful and wholesome a gift of nature, though they could not give its lineage, in which respect they were rs wise as the botanists of today, who have yet to dis cover the maize plant in its wild state. Three billion bushels of corn a year at fifty cents a bushel represents $1,600, 000,000 in hard cash, an item justify ing corn carnivals on a large scale. Missouri, which raised 22^,000,000 mil lions bushels of corn last year, should take a more prominent part in such cx hibiuions. This state's corn crop last year equaled in value the entire gold output of the United States. Corn is higher than in 1000 by one-fourth. The confields of the Middle West should realize moro fully their importance as sources of increasing wealth. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
