The old soldier and patriot, from l'?a
llidge as lie was wont to siy passed away
mi last Monday, lie had U en suffering
more or less for some years, but eonl inta d
to attend to his business up to a few
months back. lie hail l>een a sufferer
more or less ever sinee be received a
wound, during the war, in one of his
legs. lie died with a eomplieatioii of
diseases. The different ineinliers of the
family were with him. Colonel MeKisiek
\? ur? u mi ii^r ?? IIVII in M?H.
He was I huh iii a section of Union county
known as Pen Hidge, in tliat day and
time considered as the poorest and most
illiterate |Hirtion of the county, but :n
whatever company the Colonel was in
or wherever lie was at, lie was always
proud to sa\ he was from Pea llidge.
His parents were good honorable jieople
and very good livers for that day and
time. Kducatioiial facilities were rather
limited in those days, and tlie Colonel
only acquired a common old Held school
Knglish education. He was a man of
iiiicomnionnuly good common, hard
sense, and a good judge of liunian nature.
He was at one time probably the most
popular man in Union county. He was
always proud to proclaim that lie came
from between the plough handles to
public iHisilion and public notice. It
- was our pleasure to know the Colonel
well for a number of years. He was
a character of many line parts. lie was
always guidi d hy patriotic motives. We
have often heard him say "that he loved
dear old South Carolina nearly as much
- s he did his mother." lie was a man
lull of feeling. and a'.so unite humorous
at times. He was full of originaiity.
He had a great many of the essential
pails of a great man. He was elected
clerk of the court of 1'nion county when
lie was twenty-live yours old. lie held
that olliee for sixteen tears. lie was
admitted to the bar in |s.V>.
He practiced with Judge Wallace until
|s77. then with ( oloiiel liioii. then with
S. I>. Thomson and was a part tier ol

medal is given by Mrs. Win. Munro annallv,

is very commendable in Mrs. Monro,
and we wish more |iersonswould do likewise.
Is there not some other lady in
the town that feels like she could do a
similar tiling. She would do a good
thing for the school, and add very much
to the pleasure, every year, of some deserving
young lady. We should do something
to make our schools attractive as
well as improving. The I'nion (traded
School has had a very successful year

are employed for another year. They
are Messrs. Waller and .lelferics and

PREFERRED DY A NEW
YORK TIMES CORRESPONDENT.
lisiiiinu>r?*. June J.?Senator Tillman
< !' South Carolina lists lieen very free
with his criticism of tlie national administration
for its manner of conducting
I total operations, and in the recklessness
of his rhetorical frenzy has not hesitated
to impute improjier motives to the
President and Secretary Carlisle. In]
view of these facts a littio history of one
of his own bond deals is instructive and
interesting.
.VIsuit S-VJo'UJOO of South Carolina
('? per rent, bonds fell due July 1, 1X03.
Tillman was Coventor of the State then.
John Oarv Kvans. the Senator'sclosest
political and personal friend, and said to
lie slated as his eolleguo in the Senate,
was the administration leader in the
Legislature, and Dr. Hates was the State
Treasurer.
The Legislature, at its session in 1801,
adopt.id a Refunding hill, suggested by
(inventor Tilltjun. TJiis provided for
an issue ol aijipu.ttou | per cent, lionds
to fund the outstanding (?j>ep cents., and
Treasurer Hates and the ttovrr?ior was
appointed commissioners to manage the
matter in In-half of the State.
The acts of Messrs. Tillman. Hates
and Kvansare outlined in the evidence
in ;? <??i? .-'oihiI in this city for the
division ot t?c> '?.ni,};jifHsionors involved
i i the tnittwt lion, the lM>ii<cps gnd tlie
syndicate which tu<t|> the bonds having
Utiairelied. The action w.nt brought
here hecaiPe the funds involved were
liclil by ; Halt ltd."?'ti trust company,
7'lif evidence shows that of the first
steps tv1>, a by 'lie commissioners was to
give a motioVyly ;,t tlu.ciiliji' transaction
to Mr. Hhind, a liquid V ,of ^jg/jst.-i, fin.,
wh-ise tfiiifje does not ever' appear hi the

that earl) In \A\Kl IP ^pjP'^-.u-ljed by
Mr. Kvans. now fiowrtu'L aiui ashed to

obtained the exclusive opinion on the

lie was to'reeepe .. vmpfplssion of ."> per

he at lirst ?lit I not uppnven tj.fc* ^ro!w*ir

in his ollice. rcqarding him a-s

birr a trade. Yet this broker is rated
hiith in the reports, while Mi. Khj||d.
who controlled the opinion, and was
trying to use it. is not rated at all.
With the assistance of the New York
nam a syndicate was humid, headed by
llie la'e i* O ITeiicli of the Manhattan

and justice of allowing Mr. Rhind to
receive his share, then tried up in the
Haitimore Trust eonipuny hy litigation.
The expense account of the syndicate
shows that (iovernor Kvans was (?aid
$100 attorney's tee. and that Treasurer
Bates was paid hy thesv ndicatc S*J,.TiO.SS
for "services."
Mr. Hhiud te.dilied that lie had not
yet. so far as his paii of it was concerned.
]Nii?l (iovernor Kvans's fee or
lea nasi what it would he. It appears on
the record thai at least two of the three
State otlicials acti\e|v engaged in the
negotation of the Isolds were employed
and |Kiid hy the purchasers.
The impression given to the persons
most actively engaged in In-half of the
syndicate at the time ; > '''early set forth
in the testimony. Certain uicnihcrs of
the syndicate expressed enriosity and
interest, natural, iiorhnps. in the
circumstances. They inquired why it
was that of SUS.OIHI bonus offered b\
the State to purchasers ??t" tin- bonds.
onl\ S.'Jlt.M'i' was available f??r the actual
purchasers who weic to furnish the
money, white -ITS 7"'t was to go to Mr.
Ithiud, who was rmmrhiiii; no money
and apparently taking active jmrt in the
(ticker. The Itichinoiid broker told
them lie understood presumably from
Mr. Khind that the iiulk of that sum
was to "lie divided among jie.itios in
South Carolina who had political influence."
The New Vork broker, who
was in close a*so"iation w ith Mr. Khind,
and whose op| ot(unities for knowledge
were lv<bt ,?{' ,:)J. ivj,!?et} jh;,i 'Ivy w ould
lx'tter not hixeslicate tliiii. thai H ops to
go to people] who v? oil Id letter not Iw
known."
It reads that way in the t wuia >n\ as
taken.
When Mr. It hind wa> on the stand,
lie was not j.n-s; t| regarding his use of
his p;|?| i;l li|i; bi.nns. ami lie.red no
cxplauat ion.
It is net in c\idono.? in thi case, tail
it is a fact capable of easy and direct
proof, that Mr. Uhind. while holding
the option on the bond issue and en
dea\oiiiiu to Millar.' the formation of a
syndicate to take it. stated liiat he would
