They are Tot "wool hats' either;
for the Governor has stuck his oppo-
nents for the finest felt hats, ranging
from 50 to Sc.
There is no telling how many hats
he has won in other parts of the
State, but two Greenville men, who.
were red-hot Sheppard and Orr sup5S,
porte.s, are now paying for head
wear for the Governor. One of them
oct Gov. Tillman hat that he would
not carry Greenville county. OF
course he lost and yesterday he
received bill from NJ. L. Kinard,
the Columbia clothing ceater, tor 80
for hat purchased by the Governor
from him. At the bottom of the bill,
in Gov. Tillman's handwriting,
was this: "You can remit to me
or Mr. Zinard, and be wiser man
next time" The gentleman sent
Gov. Tillman postal note for the
amount, enclosed in a letter. He
told the Governor that he (the
writer) Was now a Tillman man, bit
if the Governor was candidate for
Office ,x.o years from now he would
vote against MIN then. A postscript
added the defiant "Hurrah for Shep-

Weaver in person, took file Of SOL

the soldiers shoot every hog on tie

voucher Weaver said: 81 don't give

The hogs were valued at $3.50.
The turkeys belonged to Mrs. Will

COY. THLMAN TALKS.

Gov. Tillman said. "I'he result Of
the election here, while gratifying to
me, is nothing more than 1expected;
for in my canvass OF the State,
county by county, during the last ten
weeks, the demonstrations of love
and confidence on the part Of the
people for myself personally, and
their enthusiasm for the cause rep
resented left me no room for doubt
in my mind as to the result. The
SANDER and abuse heaped upon me
by the newspapers controlled by the
opposition have contributed largely
to my success, but the determination
of the people to reap the fruits of
their victory two years ago and
bring about such reforms in our laws
and the management of our public
affairs as we're necessary to give us
more economical and efficient gov
ernment caused my opponents
(Sheppard's) defeat. All the daily
papers in the State, except the Co.
lumbia Register and one evening jour
nal and three-fourths of the week
lies, were controlled by my oppo-
nents. The opposition had all the
money they wanted, and it did not
scruple to use it in every way posi-
BILE. But it ayailed them nothing.
The issues were the creation Of an
efficient railroad commission, an in-
crease in the efficiency of free schools,
change from county to township
government and the calling of a con-
stitutional convention. All of these
questions have been discussed fully
and elaborateiy, and I take my cleo
ton by such an overwhelming vote
las meaning that the people endorsed
fmy attitude on all of them. .

A Great Offer for the Ladies.

Common sense anil good judgment
are the qualities for which our Ameri
can ladies are noted. Wh-n they find
any article which will add to the COM
fort of their homes or to their per-
sonal appearance they speedily adopt
it, being quick to discover the super
iority Of the new over the old. 1t is
to this trait that the firm of A. Nc
Dowell & Co. owes the wonderful
success OF their F.ench Fashion Jour
nails among American women.
Whenever these Journals are critically
examined their superior merit is at
once recognized. They not only give
the styles one month earlier than the
American Fashion Journals; but the
variety, originality, and prac'icabllity
of those st, les lift them 80 far above
all others, that they are now recog,
nized as the Standards of Fashion for
this country, as they have long been
in France. Many complaints having
reached a. Mcdowell & Co. concern

tanning their Fashion Journals through

work off some other and inferior pub
lication lying on their hands, this firm

important Typewriter Decision.


"Judge Lacombe, sitting in the United

motion of the Remington Typewriter
Company, granted an injunction against
the agents of the Franklin, restraining
the sale of that machine on account Of
infringement of Remington patents.
The decision Is an important one as 1t
proves the control of the fundamental
patents, and may affect other makers
of typewriters. The Remington people
have heretofore been quite passive, but
1t Is stated on good authority that they
are now likely to proceed against all
other typewriter manufacturing COM
panies.
''In some cases purchasers of ma
chimes which infringe Remington pat
ents may also be proceeded against for
infringement. Until these cases are
definitely settled this action will deter
many people from purchasing type
writers which are colorado limitations
of the Remington. To save n few dol

cially when the other machine is the
