COL. TILLMAN'S CONDITION.
Contradictory Reports As to Bis
Condition and Circumstances.

Edgefield, S C, January 18:?Estranged
from his wife and relatives,
deserted by one time friends and
practically penniless. Col. James H
Tiliman, formerly Lieutenant Governor
of South Carolina and slayer
of N G Gonzales, is dying of tuberculosis.
He is gradually growing
weaker and it is not believed be can
survive many weeks longer. He
has not been able to sit up in bed
for many months.
Col Tillman is occupying a small
cottage of four rooms and is attended
by only one nurse, who is his sole
companion. It has become known
that his relatives have nothing to
with him, that he is without money
and that but for the nurse he would
have starved to death.
He lived a hermit's life in a tent
last summer and later went to Asheville.N
C.in the hope that the moun'

health. The malady did not, however;

Col Tillraah's star began to wane
in 1903, when he shot down and kill-j
?d Mr Gonzales, who was editor of |
the Columbia State, as a. result' of j
editorial attacks made upon him.
Mr Gonzales was unarmed and was '
taken by surprise and the killing'
iroused great indignation.
Through change of venue Col'
rillman was tried in Lexington coun- j
:y. The jury found him not guilty,
jut since then he has been shunned
)y many who formerly were friendly
:o him. He sought to enter the)
ninistry in 1904, but nothing came'
>f his application.

i Gentlemen: ?
I take this method of speaking to
1 you. I want to urge upon you to
i get busy and burn your plant beds,
and plant all the tobacco you can
possibly take care of. I want you
to get the benefit of the short crop
j that will be planted. There will be
, at best only 50 per cent of last
1 year's crop planted over this side of
' the Pee Dee, where last year was a
! short crop. So, this year, you see
! will be just about half of last. I
wonld not ask you to increase if I
did not know what I am talking
! about.
| You will see prices this year highI
er than you have ever seen- South
' Carolina tobaccos. So I want you
all, especially those that self: in
| Kingstree, to get the benefit of the
high prices. I am not advising you
from a Dersonal motive, but for
your own benefit.
I will be in position this year to
handle and buy more tobacco than I
have ever bought before, and competition
will be strong. Wishing
you, one and all, a prosperous New
Year.
Yours to serve,

Lots cf bananas that
mamma used to send me ,
for tasted green when
we got them, or they
were almost rotten.
That was because we
traded at the grocery
that didn't care much,
about its customers.
You know it is nice to
trade at a place where
they treat you nice.
If you go to the right
place you can get
A dozen bananas for 25c
A dozen oranges for 30c
All these fruits
will always be good
too.
