,.- Jit aOfald And P M BEN TILLMAN'S GOOD WORK, LAROE SUMS TO BE Rft0OVERED FROM FEDER AL IGOVENMENT. Chief Clerk Gantt Claims that as a Result of Senator Tilimaan's EffSrts South Caro-' lina wil Reeive Between 050.000 and 875 000, and Over $100,000 of the Valid Debt of the State will he Wiped Out. (Columbia Cor. News and Courier.) Chief Clerk Gantt has made the following clear explanation of the situation as to the claim of the State against the national government, about which some correspondence has already been had: The successful result of Senator Tillman's first effort towards the collection of the old claims of South Carolina against the United States is very gratifying to State officers. The promise of an early settlement of at lest a portion of these claims is due to Senator Tillman, who.has been hard at work upon them several years, and who would have suc ceeded in his effort without the "Black" papers, as those documents gave but little light upon the alaim, which has been allowed. It is a claim for unpaid interest upon funds advanced by South Carolina in 1812, and consequently no vouchers other than the records of tb-war depart ament are neessary to-sustain our tention. It is simply a question 4f computing interest. The Act which Senator Tillman succeeded in having passed declares that these olJ pay mente shall first be applied to the settl6ment of ten or fifteen years' interest, which had accrued at that timi, -while 'any amount remaining unpaid at that time shall be deemed a new principal upon which interest must now be paid. WHAT TE STATE WILL GET. It is impossible to determine what this will amount to without access to the date of these payments and the original account. Senator Tiliman's computation fixed the amount at abot: $300,000, which should give South Carolina_between $60,000 and * 5$000 after settling in full the * .South Carolina bonds held by. the kudian trust fund 6f the federal gov ernent. These bonds aggregate $125,00)0 at their full value, and un der the bond redemption laws of Sout Carolina were refundable at 50Ooents on the dollar inito4he new '4gper cents. The United States refused 'this settlement and de manded full face value, repeatedly * threatening suits upon them. Thus, after paying full face value and acerued interest, there is a promise ~not only of wiping out over $100, 000 of the valid debt of 1lhe State, but of securing quite a nice som to the State treasury besides. No commissionwlllbepad toany one in settlement of the claim, and the State will get every dollar s c ured. Senator TillgfTan made this a condition of his work for the meas ure' and the results vindicate his judgmeu MORE TO FOLLow. There are other valid claims against Uncle Sam, which would run up his debt to this State to nearly two million dollars if interest should be allowed to the present time, and it is hoped that Senator Tillman and the tespresentatives will contmnue their efforts for the settlement of these claims in full. A Good Manager. [Brooklyn Eagle.]' It was admitted that the woman was truly a remarkable one. She succeeded in-living far better than -woulir seem to be possible on her husband's income. "But how does she do it ?" asked the ignorance one. "She's such a good manager," an swered the knowing one. "Knows how to make a little go a long way, I suppose.'' "Well, not exactly that, but she knows how to make him provide properly for the family. You see, she bpends the money he gives her for luxuries, so he just has to pro - vide the necessities in addition. * There's always something needed, and she's always broke, so that forces him to scrape up some more cash. In that way they manage to live reaHy well. Oh, she's a wonderful manager! Not one in a thousand could do as well on his income as she has done." "And the result?" "Oh, I believe something has been said about his being forced into bankruptcy next week, but she has managed splendidly, don't you think?" TRANKSUIVING PROCLAATION. L4ovirnor Kcweeney in Accor'auce With The Fredident's Action, Sets Apart a D&y of General Thanksgiving Of Governor McSweeney hag issued B the following a3 his Thanksgiving ti proclamation: el It is an old and honored custom d by which the Chief Magistrate of theI a State sets apart one day as a day of cl thanksgiving and praise to the Source e: of all Life for His manifold bless- e: ings and fostering care. When in a the enjoyment of health and happi- o ness and prosperity we are prone to d forget the sustaining hand through n which these blessings come. t] ,As a people we hasw had our trials t] and hardships, our days of adversity a and of bitter strife, and through a them all we have triumphed because a of our trust in and reliance on an t All-wise Providence. During the past year we have en joyed peace and prosperity. The. labor of the husbandman has been a rewarded by abundant harvests and 0 all business has prospered. We r have been spared pestilence and I plague, drought and flood. In this t] day of prosperity we should not for- a get the source whence it comes. We o should, as a people render thanks to v God for the blessings which we en- fil joy and in the midst of material 1 prosperity strive for moral and spiri- d tual uplifting; for it is not in ma terial progress and prosperity that a a people can claim to be truly great, or hope to obtain lasting happiness. 0 The gr4atness of a people rests in tj the character of the individual citi- C zen, and this character is built upon c deeds done-deeds which glorify c God and help lift up and bless our h fellow men. In no way can we bet ter show our appreciation of the -g kinduess and the forbearance of our 2 Heavenly Father than by doing our t duty to Him, to ourselves and to our fellow man. Now, therefore, 1, M. B Me Sweeney, Governor of the State of South Carolins, in conformity to the proclamation of the President of the United States, do set apart Thurs day, the 27th day of the present month, as a day of general%haoks giving, and do recommend that all public offices be closed, and that the people cease from their ordinary vo cations, and in their homes and1 sev eral places of worship render thanksa to God for the blessings which they have enjoyed during the past year, and that on this occasion they re- o member the poor and sorrowing by j ther gifts and their prayers of sym p pathy. In witness whereof I have hei-e- B unto set my hand and cause,d the Greal seal of the State to be affixed. ci Done at the city of Columbia this, 2 5th day of November, in the year of ti our Lord one thousand, nine hun dred and two, and of the Independ- si ence of the United States of America *u the one hundred and twenty seventh. 0 (Seal.)

Regiment. - On pages 455 and 456 of the An Duals of Newberry Captain F. N.T Walker tells something of his ex- N perience as an enrolling officer at8 Newberry and of Gen. Cheatam and . Stewart being at Newberry. A right funny incident occurred to Captain Walker while the above named Gen erals were with him; Captain Wal ker had called out the 16 year old boys and these with a few crippled4 Confederate soldiers were organizld into a company known as The Sup porting Force, who were mounted. ~ On Monday morning when every one was expecting Newberry to be at tacked and while the troops were in line of battle at Hunt's (now Crot well's) cross roads, and while Cap- Pi tai Walker was holding a coneil of war with Gens. Cheatam an'd Stew- N ard one of the members of the sup- to porting force (a boy just past I6) walked to the door of the offic a hold. ing his horse by the bridle and caled Captain Walker. Captain Walker thinking it was a courier with dis patches hurried to the door, whenA the young man asked him to hold L his horse for him as he wanted to A knock around town awhile Of - course Captain Walker dt-elined but the joke was on him The youog man said Capt Walk'er was all the man that he knewaHnd he tbought be ought to bave held his horse. "Y on. Ford." An Amusing indent. A funny little incident, not down i the program occurred at the Mary ,ad Industrial Exposition grounds, altimore, recently, which created ie wildest merriment among the nployees and show people. A half ozen big monkeys of the Blake dog ad pony ciircus were let out in aarge of an attendant for a little iercise. They chanced to pass the atrance of the Crystal Maze, and pparently seeing- a dozen or more f their kind reflected through the oorway, in its myriads of mirrors, ade a break for and rushed inside, ke attendants in hot pursuit, then ae fnn began. On every side they pparently saw hundreds of grinning imians of their own kind, and the ay they chattered and yelled, amid Le wildest antics, threw the entire opulation of the midway in parox sms of merriment. They tried to limb the mirrors, butted their heads gainst the glass, climbed over and ver one another, and behaved gene ally like star inmates of an Insane tsylum. To add to the confusim beir attendants went in after them nd got lost in the mystic windings f the maze, and monkeys and men rere alike in a grand mixup. Noth ig half so fanny had ever occurred n the midway before, and the inci ent rudely shattered the Sabbath niet that was prevailing. Finally rith great difficulty, the monkeys rere rounded up and taken one by ne to their respective cages. All ie afternoon they continued to hatter to one another, evidently dis assing in monkey language their irious experience in the Crystal laze.
