COMFORT POWDER.

A healthy, clear skin is great comfort to
any person.
A burning, itching, scaIy skin is terrible
discomfort.
To insure the one and avoid the other, use
Comfort Powder.
The minor ills Of life are often hardest to
bear. For instance:
Tender face after shaving.
A persistent pimple just where you don't
want it.
A soft corn that is soft and itches.
Itching. when bandage or tight garment
is removed.
A little Itching eczema lurking under the
knee or the hollow of the arm.
Roughness of the skin.
Smarting face from riding in the wind.
Tender feet. Chatting.
For all the above, use Comfort Powder
and you will find ready relief.
One person In every ten wears truss. A
serious trouble is the irritation Of the spring
or pad. To all who suffer, Comfort Powder
is friend indeed. 1t relieves the soreness
ard restores the skin to healthy condition.
To Mothers Comfort Powder is a great
boon to infants. Relieving instantly scald-
Ing and chatting, and making the skin healthy
and firm. 1t never ferments.
Comfort Powder does not drive the dIseas,
in. 1t is an antidote to poisonous humors
1t is clearly, etfectual and quickly absorbed
by the skin. 1t is more direct than medicine
taken into the stomach, as 1t is medicine ap.
piled directly to the seat Of trouble.

Score One for Tillman.
TGreenville News.

We have had occasion to remark
heretofore that B. R. Tillman is a bad
kind of man to try experiments with,
an awkward kind of cat for any
smooth, shifty and sanguine person
with political aspirations to try to put
a bell on.
He not only refused to measure up to
the Cotton Plant yard stick OF the SUD-
treasury idea or to keep quiet wheu
told to, but be has sailed in for an ag-
gressive war on the scheme and met
Lecturer Terrill face to face at Abbe-
vile for a straight discussion of it.
Now there is no use talking about IL;
this isn't a Tillman newspaper, but
Tillman does deserve the thanks and
approval os -the'conseryative, people OF
the State for his stand in this matter.
He has financial theory of his own
which is nearly as bad as the sub-treas-
ury, bat he does not seem to be urging
that. He is fighting the sub-treasury
squarely and going on record as its Bit
ter and direct opponent, and in that he
doing good service. People who would
heed nobody else on that matter will
heed him. They have been told that
all who opposed the sub-treasury are
their enemies, the agents of Wall street
gold bugs and that kind of stuff and
many of them-some good, honest, well
meaning people, too-had ears for only
one side. They were being taught and
drilled to demand of the democratic
party approval of the scheme and to
make that approval the condition
of their loyalty. There is no possibili-
ty of the Democratic party accepting or
adopting any such scheme.
Tillman has come into the discussion
now and will probably make the fur
fly. He has strong hold of the people
the sub-treasury idea has hold on and
it will be nip and tuck. We hardly
know which to let on. Everything has
had fashion lately of going as we
though it should not 60, and we have
no notion just yet of getting down from
the fence where we can whittle and
smoke and see the fun to take any hand
in the performance. At the same time
Tillman's nerve and dash and volun-
tary interference to save thepeople from
a fearful blunder ought to be scored to
his credit.

KILLED BY HIS OWN ENGINE.
Shocking Death of Engineer Williams, OF
the G c. and n. Railroad.

ing in the shade of, and under car box
on the the G., G. and n. Railroad, at

request was for pistol to end his mis-
cry. An engine was sent to this place
for DR.. S. NJ. Davega, but he was out
of town, DR.. S. NJ. Marion was found
and taken down, DR.. Davega follow
ing as soon as he returned.
The unfortunate man died about 7:30
o'clock in great pain.
Mr.. Williams was young man and
very popular here, where he had lived
for considerable length of time.

Especial to the Greenville News.

Especial to tie Greenville News.]
COLUMBIA, June 3.-When the State
board of railroad equalization met t6-
day, State Treasurer Bates, of the
boad, made a written statement in
which he assured the gentlemen pre-
sent representing the railroads ''that it
has not been and is not now the inten-
ton of this board to treat the railroads
with injustice or unfairness in the mat
ter of assessments for taxation" He
said that at the Boards meeting in May
with what light they had from reports
of the railroad commission and other
sources they had indicated what they
thought would be proper assessment
of railroad property. Continuing he
said: "1n some statements made we
infer that we are suspected not only of
ignorance but Of prejudice. For my
self can disclaim any and all preju-
dice. think I can do the same for the
board. I am not ashamed to ackpowl-
edge lack Of information in regard to
railroad property.
II have been addressed personally
as treasurer Of the State and warned
not to give the appearance of discrim-
mating against railroads. lest the credit
of the State be injured and it become
impossible to fund large part Of the
State debt maturing in 1898. with
all respect to the gentleman who gave
this warning, I must say it was not
necessary to give it, and in my opinion
it was mischievous and is possibly in
tended to do harm. 1t has gone out in
the press of the country in connection
with the charge, implied at least, that
in South Carolina railroad property
was unfairly dealt with in the matter
of taxation. It is our purpose to OBJ
tain all the light we can then in our
action be Influenced by the spirit and
letter of the constitution and law of
the State.n
Argument was concluded this even
ing and decision was reserved. "
