Tillman’s defence of his recent Message to the Legislature, for he must have a defence, and we can conceive of no other that would serve him. He “remembered’’ to tell the Legislature a good many things, some of which, by the way, he told them very well, but in order that they may, in the language of the Governor, correctly “grasp the general situation in the State and condition of its institutions,” it will he necessa ry for them to read between the lines, as it were, adding to what he told them some things which he “forgot” to tell them.

How to dress with the greatest taste is a problem which has interested the world since the time when man (and woman, too, for that matter) was limited, in making a se lection, to the choice of forest leaves. The rule laid down by “the melancholy Dane” for dressing in taste has been the established law of the fash ionable world for three centuries. An opportunity is offered the people of Darlington of dressing in accordance with it by calling at Woods Si Woods' where is to be found a fall and winter stock of goods, all of the very latest styles, which will delight the men as much as the ladies of the community.
