He is accusing the ipefs.of crucifying him upon ? a of slander because they have told :>me of the disreputable "things he s 2 guilty oL.; They h ave told being arrested for gambling in acd he does not deny it in terms. They have shown him : . . isifier beyond the shadow of yt. They have shown that he ttuted his high office as presiding ?t o? the senate t? falsify the offi rrcs of his State and to make rnent from the presiding offi chair that he knew was false at he made it and "that has since proven to be false and yet with i-handed impiety he calls on Gcd - 55s that these charges are "as r^isiifiable as when they pinioned :the cross the lowly Nazarene." Jim putting himself-in the same as Jesus of Nazareth! Could lege go "much farther than that?' Ton men who meet in your temples worship every Sabbath and worship ?t precious Name and sing, "All hail power of Jesus' name," how does ie you to have Jim Tillman . ke an attitude and place him aiong Bfeo? the Saviour of mankind and jHpglaim himself to be as innocent as pbabe born in Bethlehem's manger? Bffaan whose mouth is filled with all Baaess. whose reputed private life is a ?sreputabie one to place himself . ngside ?f Hirn "who spake as never man spake " The effrontery of this man and his H ti disregard for the truth is shown Bin after allowing DeCamp to give Bp-the lie to his teeth at Gal?ney :hout resenting it and the fact was raided abroad in all the newspapers within less than a week afterwards he calls up Norment, the man who wrote it for the. papers, and attempts to make him acknowledge that he wrote a falsehood, and that DeCamp did not e him the lie. But Norment stood Kft* and Jim Tillman still goes on Hterating his false statements. Iz is a reproach to South 'Carolina, to her chivalry, to her virtue and everything that is of good repute that reis man should even presume to be a candi date for governor. True or un true, his reputation is that of a com mon liar, and?tbat ought to down Bpa, fer a man's reputation is what ^neighbors are very apt to know. If the newspapers are to be condemned for telling the truth about this man. so be it. South' Carolina has had to hang her head In shame for . h?r dis reputable governors of the alien and scalawag. Surely she is not to hang lier head in shame again. A man who is charged with misappropriating $50 of a Confederate monument fund ought $o disprove it or withdraw from the race. With such a chaige resting on pi he cannot expect the votes of vet erans or their sons.?Anderson Dailv Jim Tillman, in Florence, when call* ed upon to explain why, during the l$st session, he appointed a free con ference with the purpose of killing Senator Ilderton's bill for the relief of railroad employes, claimed that it was an unintentional error and that the mistake was entirely incidental. Thus does he display again his un equalled nerve and his unparalleled apti tude at falsification. - The " uni n tentional error" of appointing a com mittee opposed to the hill had a great deal of deliberation about it, as the facts show. Tillman was not presid ing the night the committee was ap pointed, but he deliberately wrote a note to the presiding officer making a personal request that certain senators be appointed on the committee, when he knew that two of them beyond doubt were opposed to the bill and the third was more or less indifferent to its fate. That certainly does not look as if his action was "unintentional," bat on the contrary it shows that it was his deliberate purpose to kill the bii?\ Senator Uderton made a vigor ous protest and succeeded in having himselfvplaced on the committee, but it was doomed to defeat, for his two colleagues^were utterly opposed to the bill. The Appointment of Senator Uderton on the committee. under the compulsion may have been "remedy ing the mistake" in Jim Tillman's mind, but he accomplished the defeat of the bill nevertheless. Senator Hder ton tieclared very vehemently in the senate that there was something rotten in this and declared that a man close to the railroad company had carried the note asking the appointment of the committee. Indeed, there does ap pear to have been something extreme ly ' ' rotten'' ? in this incident?Colum bia BecorcL Henry L.

Tampa, Fla..-Aug. 14.-?At the home of Charles J. Allen, Jon Seventh ave nue Tampa Heights, the most fashion able residence section of this city, Allen, and.his wife were fatally shot today by Manuel Chavez, one of the wealthiest and most prominent young members of the Cuban colony. Allen died this evening and Mrs. Allen's death is only a question of time. Many conflicting accounts of the tragedy are current but the one gener ally believed is that Allen returned home unexpectedly and found Chavez, in his. house, and that he assaulted Chavez, striking him a terrific blow in the mouth. Chavez then drew a pistol and began to fire. One bullet struck Allen in :the lef S side, another in the mouth and the third in the abdomen after passing through the body, of Mrs. Allen, who had rushed between the' men in an effort to sep?rate them. The shooting of Mrs. Allen is believ ed to have been entirely unintentional. Immediately after the shooting Chavez rushed from, the house bare headed and disappeared in his buggy that was standing at the back gate. He subsequently surrendered to the sheriff. g. An effort was made to get him re leased tonight. His father's firm, one of the largest manufacturers of cigars here, offered to put up a hundred thousand dollar cash bond, but as. the charge is murder Judge Robles refus ed it. The Tampa Sensation. J Tampa, Fla., Aug. .?The prelim inary hearing which was to have been granted today to Manuel Chavez, the Cuban who yesterday killed Charles J. Allen and dangerously wounded ? Mrs. Allen, has been postponed. Mrs. Allen's condtion is critical* but she is under the surveiilance of a detective. A coroner's jury organized to hold an inquest on Allen's body was refused admittance to the undertaking estab lishment, the proprietor declaring the sheriff had ordered him to prevent an inquest being held. I Chavez, who is confined in jail here, says he was assaulted by Allen, whom, he claims, he owed for a buggy. He states Allen called him into his house and assaulted him. a the altercation, he shot Allen and Mrs. Allen who atr t?pted to separate them also was shot. Kruger Gives Up at Last. Brussels, August 12.?It is said that as a result of an interview with former President Steyn, of the Orange Free State, Mr. Kruger, former President of the Transvaal Republic, has aban doned his present campaign and coun termanded the proposed conference of Boer leaders at Johannesburg.

Editor The Manning Times: Please pardon me for intruding upon your, valuable time. On last Wednes day, when a portion of the depleted le gions of the armies of Northern Vir ginia and the West were 'gathering to gether from different portions of South Carolina, for the purpose of j having a reunion at Greenville in this State: . The writer of this, quietly boarded the morning train for Sum ter, (the dear <dd town of pleasant reminis cences of by-gone days, the town which I left one beautiful spring day forty-one years ago with Company "D," 2nd S. C. V., -enrouts for old Virginia, whose.heroic soil drank: up more blood.of soldiers than ..any other State in the Confederacy. ). My recent visit was a special one, it was for the purpose of meeting my old soldier friend Capt. W. W. Wilder, alias "Old Fieler," as the boys of Company " D" called ; him. I found the old hero enjoying very good health, con sidering his. great age, for he is. way down on the shady side .of the hill of life?four score years and four?I was but a boy in his presence. It was in deed a pleasure to"'me to meet this brave old soldier once more. His mind is quite clear ; he spoke of days gone by. u?rom Manassas to the surren der this old hero so often stood- with others on the bloody front of battle, fringing the starry cross "tnow furled forever) with glory. I hope "old Fieler" and I may.meet again in the flesh ; if not, may we meet over the river, and be with Lee, Jackson, Ker shaw and the host that wore the grey. God bless "old Fieler." "If you have a friend worth loving, love him. Yes, and let him know that you love him, ere life's evening tinge his brow With sunset glow. Why should good words ne'er be said of a friend till he is dead?" Old Rock. < Boston, Mass., Aug. 14.?Gov. Crane today returned to the South Carolina authorities the requisition papers in the case of Julian Foster, a Colored man, arrested in Clinton, Mass., who is wanted in New Market, Greenwood County, S.

Johannesburg, Aug. 14.?Consider able excitement has been created here by the discovery of a new reef which is said to traverse a large extent of ter ritory. Local geologists think the strike is a continuation of the Witwa tersrand main series but the discover ers assert that they have found new gold fields that will be the equal in size of the Witwatersrand. A Oure for Cholera Infantum. "Last May," says Mrs. Curtis Baker, of Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant child of our neighbor's was suffering from cholera'in fantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to direc tions. In two days' time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since). a vigorous, healthy girl.

Manila, August 13.?A small party offMoros surprised an outpost of t.?.e 27th infantry at Camp Viars yesterday. Sergt. Foley and Private Carey were killed and Private Van ?Dora was severely wounded. The Moros, who j numbered only a dozen, were armed ! with spears and sWords. The morning was dark and foggy. The attacking party crawled to within a few feet of the sentinels and tnen sprang upon them suddenly. The entire outpost rushed to the relief of the sentinels, .but they were too late and the Moros escaped,, although possibly a few of them were wounded. The American sentinels. were terribly cut by the swords and spears. The attacking Moros were all from Bacolod and the occurrence will prob ably result in a move against that town, which has a strong fort and other defences. Johann Most, the Anarchist, who has had an international experience of prison life, says that "the freer the country the worse is the jail." He was first imprisoned in Austria, where he was "treated like a gentleman." "In Germany," he adds, "they set me to work at book-binding. That was easy. In London they make me pick oakum. That was very hard. The first time I was imprisoned in America I had to fire a furnace. That was hades." LITTLE HOPE FOR WILGOX. Nellie Cropsey's Murderer Feign ing Insanity to Escape Noose.

D Knoxviile, Tenh., Aug. 13.?In a peculiar way today a story came to light which has no equal recorded since the day the slave mart was de stroyed here. Jerry Logan, the aged janitor of the State Supreme Court, sold himself to Gerald Stuart, cleik of the court, for SI, 000. For this sum he agrees in a written contract to serve and obey Stuart as his legal msster from now until the time of his death. The origin of the uni-yie deal is that Logan has lately found himself involv ed in certain debts which have wor ried him a great deal, and to get rid of them he sought this means of rais ing the ready money. The thomsand dollars is to be paid to him at once. Logan was a slave. He is sixty years of age and has many white friends of the old regime. British public opinion is strongly in favor of keeping ijuord Kitchener at home instead of sending him to India. His lordship does not stand so well with the aristocracy, to many mem bers of which he has given oSenso by refusal'to meet their wishes. For in stance, |there is one great nobleman who desired that his favorite son should be sent home ?*om South Af rica.

The indications are that we will .hare an unusually early movement of the COTTON CROP And we are making preparations accordingly. Bagging and Ties. We have made large contracts for bagging and ties, having placed bur orders before the advance. The price at which we bought, in com parison with the present figures, would be quite a saving to our cus tomers. Our purchases in this line embrace : New Jute Bagging, New Sugar Sack Bagging, New Arrow Ties, and selected Second Hand Jute Bagging and Ties, bought from mills which is very desirable for use again, and much cheaper than new goods. FLOUR We have in stock and in transit ? Barrels Flour. This would almost lead to the impression that we are doing a wholesale business, but while we do not lay any claim to this, many merchants in the county are buying their flour from us, claiming that they can do so to better advantage than from the So-called Wholesale Dealers. Our leading brands "Semper Idem" and "Jtiitbourne" are too well known to require any further comment from us. MEAL AND GRITS. These we buy in car lots direct from the mills, thereby saving the Middle Man's profit to our 8 ? 8. The stock in OUR ENTIRE GROG?RT DEPARTMENT will be found in proportion to the items above mentioned. Persons who contemplate opening stores or replenishing their commissaries for The Cotton Picking Season will do well to get our prices before placing their orders. Our buyers are now in the North in search of stock for our DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT about which we will have something to say on our return. O'Donnell & Co. ?-I III--.
