GheAtmd and fm# BEN TILLMAN'S GOOD WORK, LAROR SUMS TO BI RKOOVERu FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Chief Clerk Genii VlqlM% that as a Result of Sonator Tulanants ftns Soth earo. lina will Rrceive thiwee 080.000 and 875 000, and Over 0100,000 of the Valid Debt of the State will be 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 llection of the old claims of South V arolina against the United States is very gratifying to State officers. The pror,ise of an early settlement of at least a portion of these claims s due to Senator Tillman, who has been hard at work non them several years. and who woald have sne ce3edod in his effort without the "'iack" papers, as those douement.s gave but little light upon the claim, which has been allowed. It is a claim for unpaid interest upon funds advanced by South Carolina in 1812, and conseqently no vouchers other that, the records of the war depart ment are necessarv to sustain our tention. It is simply a question oi cotmputing interest, The Act which Senator Tilman succeeded in having asse.t declares that these old pay m ents shall first be applied to the settlement of ten or fifteen vears' itterest. which had acerned at that time, while any amount remaining unpaid at that time shall be deented a new principal, upon which interest Wu St now be paid. WHAT THE STATE WILl. OET. It is impossible to determine what this will amount to without access to the date of these payments and the original accounts. Senator Tillman's computation fixed the amount at about $300,000, which should give South Carolina between $0,000 and $'5,000, after settling in full the South Carolina bonds hold by the Indian trust fund of the federa' gov ernment. These bonds aggregate $125,000 at their full value, and un der the bond redemption laws of South Carolina were refundable at u0 cents on the dollar into the new 4 per cents. The United States refused this settlement and1( de1 mnandedl full face value, repeatedly threatening suits upon them. Thus, after paying full face value and accrued interest, there is a promise not only of wiping out over $100, 000 of thle valiud debt of the St ate, but of securing quite a nice sumi to the State treasury besides. No commission will be paid to any one in settlement of the claim, and the State will get overy dollar se cured. Senator Trillmian miade this a condition of his work for the mnas ore and the results vindicate his judgment. MoltE To FOiLLow. T1hore 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 T1illmuan and the res presenit ativyes will cont imuu their efforts for the settlement ol these claims in full.

UWMinEnItI~6 Aoteraur MSveoet in Aeoir?auoe With The Pre'Idegt' Astton, Sets Apart a iU.y pf oenoerat Tha'kegving Governor MoSweeney has issued the following as his Thanksgiving proclamation: It is an old and honored custom by which the Chief Magistrate of the State sets apart one day as a day of thanksgiving and praise to the Source of all Life for His manifold bless ings and fostering care. When in the enjoyment of health and happi ness and prosperity we are prone to forget, the sustaining hand through which these blessings come. As a people we have had our trials and hardships, our days of adversity and of bitter strife, and through them all we have triumphed becauce of our trust in and reliance on an All-wise Providence. During the past year we have en joyed peace and prosperity. The labor of the husbandman has been rewarded by abnndant harvests and all business has prospered. We have been spared pestilence and plague, drought and flood. In this day of prosperity we should not for get the source whence it comes. We shonld, as a people render thanks to God for the blessings which we en joy and in the midst of material prosperity strive for moral and spiri tual uplifting: for it is-not in ia terial progress and prosperity that a people can claim to be truly great, or hope to obtain lasting happiness. The greatteess of a people rests in the character of the individual citi. zen, and this character is buit upon deeds done-deeds which glorify God atnd help lift up aned bless our fellow llen. In no way can we bet ter show on r appreciation of the kindness and the forbearance if our leavenly Father than by doing our duty to Him, to ourselves and to our fellow muan. .w, therefore,, I, .\.

N. \Valker tells something of his ex perience as an enrolling oflicer at Newberry and of Glen. (Cheatam and Stewart being at Newberry. A right funny incident occurred to Captain Walker while the abovo named Genc orals were with him; Captain Wal ker had called out the 16 year old boys and those with a few crippled Confederate soldiers were organized into a company known as The Sup' porting Force, who were mounted. On Monday tmornig wheni every one was expecting Nowherry to be at tacked and while the troops were in line of battle ait H-unt 'a (now~ Crot well's) cross roads, and while Cap. tailn Walker was holding ai connel of war with Gena. Chntam andi Stew ard one of tbe miembers of the sup. porting force (a hoy just past 10) walked to the door of the oflici hold ing his horse by the bridle andi called Captamn Walker. Captain Walker thinking it was a courier with (is patchen hurt mid to the door, when the young mant asked himi to hold his biorge for him as he wanted to knock around towii awhile Of course Captain Walker declined lbut the joke was oni hium.

A funny little inoident, not down on the program occurred at the Mary. land Industrial Exposition ground@, Baltimore, reoently, which created the wildest merriment among the 1 employees and show people. A half dozen big monkeys of the Blake dog and pony oiircus were let out in charge of an attendant for a little exercise. They ohanr. ' to pass the entrance of the Crystal Maze, and apparently seeing a dozen or more of their kind reflected through the doorway, in its myriads of mirrors, made a break for and rushed inside, the attendants in hot pursuit, then the fnn began. On every side they apparently saw hundreds of grinning simians of their own kind, and the way they chattered and yelled, amid the wildest antics, threw the entire population of the midway in parox. yams of merriment. They tried to climb the mirrors, butte.t their heads against the glass, climbed over and over one another, and behaved gene rally like star inmates of an Insane Asyluu. To add to the confusion their attendants went in after them and got loat in the mystic windings of the maze, and monkeys and men were alike in a grand mixup. Noth ing half so funny had ever occurred on the midway before, and the inci dent rudely shattered the Sabbath quiet that was prevailing. Finally with great difficulty, the monkeys were rounded up and taken one by one to their respective cages. All the afternoon they continued to eh:itter to one another, evidently dis. eussing in monkey ltnguage their curious experience in the Crystal Msz".
