CHEERFUL LETTER
FROM SEN TILLMAN.
SENIOR SENATOR TELLS DR F C
HICKSON THAT HIS HEALTH
IS NOW IMPROVING.
'
Editor Gaffney Ledger:?
The enclosed letter, just received
from Senator Tillman, I feel sure,
will give pleasure to his many friends
in Cherokee county, and although it
. J looks immodest in me to publish
what he says of myself and seems a
violation of confidence, I am making
bold to publish it as it is. Of course,
his enemies and my enemies will not
appreciate it, but our friends will.

"Rev F C Hickson,
"Gaffney, S C.
"My dear old Friend:
"I in at. rpeeived vours of Oc
tober 2, and it does me good because
I know it comes from an honest
heart and one whose being is
permeated with sincerity and goodness.
You speak about your sorrow
at hearing me talk about getting
'old and being sick.' You know it
is true, so why be sad about it? We
have all got to die sometime and I
realize very fully that my time to
go to the Great Beyond is not far
off. The idea is not worrying me
at all, although I have not got that
r peace of mind which you seem to
possess in regard to the hereafter.
I simply have a hope?& very strong
. hope?but not much faith.
"I am taking the best of care of

it, and you will be rejoiced, I know,
to learn that I myself believe that I
am gradually improving. But the
progress is very, very gradual. I do
not allow anything to worry me, but
throw it off and go on doing my
duty as I understand it.
"I am mailing you a copy of Dr
Bledsoe's 'The Mission of Woman,'
and also a copy of my speech on
'Woman Suffrage.' You seem to
like it so well that you may want to

been on the list of those to whom it <
was sent. I only had ten thousand
copies of it printed.
"I will reproduce in the Record ,
tomorrow, and in pamphlet form
the day after, an article I wrote for 3
the New York World in 1896, giving
my view on Wall Street and the .
deviltry these scoundrels perpetrat- j
ed on the farmers * the South and 1
West. I know you will enjoy it. <
I am sending you also a little !
i poem which I came across last summer
in an old newspaper. It has |
. afforded me a great deal of comfort, I
as it gives a most cheerful view of
death and the grave. I know you
will enjoy reading it.
"I note your tone of unhappiness
about the moral condition of our
people, and you lament at what I
said about South Carolina. Is not true?

appears to be aggravating condi- j

'blind tigers,' gamblers and whore- i
mongers appear to be running the
State,in a way,and now they are trying
to buy votes in the primary. But i
we cannot afford to despair of the s
old State, and all of us who are old J
enongh to remember the better ,
ideals of the past ought to hold fast
to those ideals and try to teach the
younger generation to rise to them, j
rather than drag down the State 1
from the customs of their forefathers.

me fully and frankly just what you i
think of the political condition in i
Cherokee county, and the probable (

The Departed Fiiciul.
Though he that ever kind and true
Kept stoutly step by step with you
Your whole lcng. gusty lifetime
through.
Lie gone awhile before?
Be now a monument gone before.
Yet doubt not; anon'the season wil':
restore
Your friend to you.
He has but turned a corner?still I
He pushes on with right good will
Through mire and marsh, by heug
and hill,
That selfsame arduous way?
That selfsame upland hopeful way
That you and he through many a
doubtful day
Attempted still.
He is not dead, tnis rriena?noi
dead
But in the path we mortals tread
Got some few trifling steps ahead
And nearer to the end,
So that you, too, once past this bend
Shall meet again, as face to face, |
this friend
You fancy dead.
Push gravely on, strong heart. The
while
You travel forward mile by mile.
He litters with a backward smile,
Till you can overtake.
And strains his eyes to search his
wake.
Or, whistling, as he sees you
through the brake,
Waits on a stile.
White Oak Chips.
White Oak, October 14:?Last
Sunday night Mr James Matthews
was very badly cut about his throat i
at the Burrow's school house at a
"holiness meeting." It seems from
hear-say that several persons were
concerned in some dispute while
services were in progress, but we do
not know she facts in the case. Mr
Matthews is resting very well today.
Mr Mack Gasque, the rural policeman
for this district, was noted
here today.
Mrs J M Rodgers and Miss Bertha
Kellahan are spending some days at
the home of Mr and Mrs D I Johnson
at Lake City.
Mr W D Eaddy, who has a position
with the Deep River Lumber Co,
spent Sunday at home.
Mr Maxey land his mother, Mrs
I E Christmas, spent the week-end
with relatives at Central.
Our sick list doesn't decrease very
fast, there being still several persons
indisposed.
Mr Jno Dennis, superintendent of
second division of the Williamsburg
county chaingang. went to Lake
City Saturday afternoon on business.

Watch the kidney secretions.
See that they have the amber hue
:>f health;
The discharge not excessive or infrequent;
Contain no "brick-dust like" sedi- ment.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for weak kidneys.
Here's proof of their merit:
H P Lane, Marion, S C, says:
"For more than a year I suffered
from backache and sharp pains
through my loins. In the morning
m first arising, I was so lame and
stiff that I could scarcely get around
and some days I was unable to work.
My kidneys were sluggish and the
icidney secretions were unnatural. I
ieard so much about Doan's Kidney
Pills that I concluded to give
ihem a trial and procured a box.
\fter short use I felt better than I
lad for years. My back became
stronger, the lameness and soreness
eft and the kidney secretions were
regular in passage. You may use
ny testimonial if it will prove of
oenefit to any person suffering from
ridney trouble."
