\ LEGEND FOR THE TIMEs.-We have
an Arab legend which has moral of
some present value in countries which
do not believe in Mahomct. A devout
marabout was on q pilgrimagcto Mecca
and was oyertaken on the road by q
greenish complexioncd cavalier draped
in white. Questioned by the pilgrim,
the stranger said he was the Cholera,
and was on his way to Mecca, but as he
was Of q benign humour he would be
content with fewer victims than ordi-
nary. \ hundred would satisfy him.
The pilgrim tremblingly asked would
ne not be satisfied with fifty. yes y
he said II will give you my word on
it AT the gate of the Holy City they
parted.
In less than eight days there were
5000 deaths in Mecca. The alarmed
marabout took flight, and outside the
walls caught up to the sinister horse
man. ''Ah my Lord Cholera he
cried, sit was not fair Of you to break
your word The other replied that he
had not broken it-only 80 had fallen
under his scythe. "And the 1850 9TH
crs ?n-"Ah They died Of fear"
We hope now that a scare seems to be
brewing, and that Russia, not content
with overcrowding our labor markets,
sends us her foul rags and pestilential
uncleanness, no reader of ours will sue
cumb to blue funk. Pure water, regu-
lar washing, plenty of lemons, and a
stout heart born of a good conscience
that's enough Then trust in Cod

waved her hand at him in the cutest

licious voice caused him to lift himself.
Il couldn't think of it-couldn't pos
sibly think of it !" she protested as she
placed hand on his arm to stop him.
The next man found his heart beat

folding his paper and shuifling his feet.
How kind of you, but I can't per-

In the burning Of Erskino College at
Duo West last week the Associate Re-
formed Synod CT the South has sustained
severe loss. Erskine College is ono Of
the oldest institutions Of learning in the
State, having been founded in 1889. The
burning took place on Friday last ay
about l o'clock a. m., the fire having
originated ON or above the third floor Of
the building. The origin Of the fire is not
known. The loss is estimated at about
$4,000, there boing no insurance. A very
valuable library belonging to tho Theo-
logical Seminary was burned. The VEN
erable building that was loved by her
sons from the ice-clad hill. of the North
to tho sunny climes of the tropics and
from ocean to ocean has crumbled to
ashes, but Erskino still lives and will
soon have moro handsome and commo-
dious homo for those who come to drink
of her pure fountains of knowledge. AL
ready the money is in hand, and the archi
tect ready to prepare plans. Aremodel-
ling of the old building had been deter
mined upon, hence the necessary finds
had been raised and specifications seicct-
ed, so that with some change of plan and
a little delay, The work of rebuilding
Erskine College will go steadily on. Sho
will rise from her ashes ready to continue
her course of unbounded good and
usefulness. In the meantime exercises
have been continued in a convenient
building. Erskine and C,Nvcrse will bo

Random Remarks of Governor Tillman.

A reporter Of the Gree nville Ne2s and
representative of the Greenville Enter
prise and Mountaineer yesterday visited
Governor Tillman at tie home of It. G..
Cover f:'r the purpose of interviewing
him. The Governor is well acquainted
with all tho newspaper men and received
them cordially.
There was little opportunity for gettin g
connected interview with the governor,
as friends were constantly calling to SEQ
him. Some Of his random remarks in
reply to questions, however, will be of
interest. The governor was told that he
had been visited for an interview on polit-
ical matters. lie said:
II am not talkir: politics much now. I
am collecting rocks for the coming CAM
paign. I am filing my pockets, satchel
and everything with them and will max g
things lively at the proper time. 1 believe
they call it Glowing now. I've been
collecting amm munition for the last cigh-
teen months"
The conversation tLen drirted to the
governors attitude on primary for State
officers. He said he still favored a direct
primary, but they (meaning the low
country people, won't have it and will
never get it. They don't propos to let
ten or twelve counties in the up country
with large white vote control the nomi-
nation of State officers. They've got q
large black vote and can't afford to have
direct primary. They will never agree
to anything moro direct than primary
for delegates to tho State Convention.
The conversation changed 10 national
politics. Tie governor said that Cleve-
land would never get the delegation from
this State. He thought the eH-President
great statesman, but his attitude on sill
YER world prevent his gaining the sup
port Of South Carolina Democrats. The
governor said lie had no idea whether the
delegation from this State would be in
favor of pushing the alliance demands in
the National Convention.
The governor was reminded that his
Laurens conference had become known as
the "cow conference and was asked to
suggest a proper name for his visit here.
He jokingly said that Mr.. Cover had
nothing but zone old scrub COW" to trade
on and he did lot suppose his visit here
could be put down as "cow conference"
The sale Of COWS to the asylum was
brought in and the governor said no had
sold fourteen cows to another person at
the same price he had been paid for COWS
sold the asylum.
Governor Till,nan was asked what he
would do with his ''rocks" if he had no
opposition. lie said with hearty laugh
that he would s'throw 'cm at tho drift
wood" He would watch the drift wood
Loaf down stream and Hing tho rocks at
It. He asked if anybody had acknowl-
edged to being "drift wood"
The governor returned to Colun bia at
) o'clock yesterday afternoon on the
cannon BALI train. He continues
20 gain flesh in his position and is looking
lealthy.-GrccnviVc Ncrs, January %.

ssI Told You So.''
Nc,cs and Courier.

Governor B. r. Tillman, Columbia, S.
C.-Dear Sir: You remember my writing
you letter last year when l first heard
Of your accepting that FREQ pass aud urs-
ing upon you tho necessity OF at once re-
oenting Of the sin and returning tho pass
% Bunch. 7 told you thon if yon refused
TO do SO that you would 50 on rom bad
20 worse until you would be finally lost.
You refused to take The advice o. your
riends. and now sec your lost condition.
Governor, that pass was ..;our FIRST step to
.uin. That was to you what the first
lrink of whiskey is 20 the drunlard, or
lie first game q cards TO The gambler.
You have gone from one Lad thing to
mother, until you are now horclessly
.ost.
You have committed Tho unpartlonablc
.ct, if what is reported about you is true.
70 ask you that question is why l write
his letter. 1t is this: Had yor paid your
AK whcr you refused to sign the bill
passed by both l.ouses to extend the time
ofpaying taxcs9 Did you mako tic poor
farmers OF this Stale ride from five to
thirty miles to reach the Cour! Houses,
and leaving their homes at midnight
lmany having to leave their families un-
protcctcd) in order TO get there in time,
forcing our County trcasurors 10 send out
runners in the moro distant parts of the
County, warning cur people to como at
once, land DO it said to tho credit Of tho
treasurers,) promising to spend the entiro
night in their Offices writing receipts to
save tho farmers the penalty? Were you
that night sleeping sweetly in the Cover
nor's mansion, dreaming of tho $500 we
are paying you, aud your taxes unpaid
If all this be true, but it surely can't be,
that is the unpardonable sin, and that cne
thing has caused you to lose at least "tcn
thousand OF your braves"
The boys in large numbers ca,ne in to-
day to know about it, and asked me to
write you at once. They don't like to be-
liove anything they see i'll some papers.
They said that the picture business, flow
crs. jogging board, tax returns, are like
the gnat on tho oN-horn compared to the
way they have been treated on the tax
paying.
Governor, if what is said should be
true, doubt If you will have one "brave
left in this section 10 tell the tale" Some
of tie boys GARNER boys) were talking
of the five-dollar jogging board. They
did not seem to understand exactly what
it was. Wnen I told them they said,
could you not have saved the State some
money by building one panel Of fence
and running plank through the crack
and let one child get on each side, and
play see-saw? Sam Hinton says that his
children play that way every day, and it
don't cost him nigh five dollars.
Now, Governor, you SEQ all this trouble
started by you taking that free pass.
Would that you had taken my advice last
year and returned that free pass to Bunch.
You would then have been our Governor
for four years, but that free pass, that free
pass, has been your ruin.
Your friend socially,
L. M. MOORE.

Those who have ente-ll:ned the opin-
ion that there would DO war be-
tween the United States and Chile will
find that such will not be the case. 1t is
true there has existed such possibility,
but as soon as the Chileans discovered
that this government would not be trifled
with they made promises Of immediate
apology and concessions. On Monday the
President sent special message to Con-
gress on the subject (which was received
with especial interest. Congress only
has the power to declare war, and spe-
cial message to that body from the Presi-
dent on the Chilean difficulty shows that
at least in contemplation war was not
impossible. On receiving the ultimatum
from the United States, Chile cabled this
government that she had committed sew
eral errors of judgment which she would
hasten to rectify, and proposed that the
affair of the attack on our sailors in Val
paraiso be submitted TO the arbitration of
some neutral power, or, if that be not
acceptable, then to submit tue matter 10
the decision of the Supreme Court Of the
United States. What more could we ask
Chile to do? Such termination of the
unpleasant affair will be credltable to both
parties, and the horrors Of war averted.
Now the United States should accept one
Of these propositions and lend her influ-
encein cheering up and helping to success
her little newborn republican sister that
has struggled from monarchial to gov
ernment patterned closely after our own.

Children Die from Drink.

BsToN, January 2O.-A very strange
case has come to light in Roxbury, where
:wo children under four years old drank
20 much whiskey that they died from its
fleets. One Arthur Bisert had 4 quanti-
~ Of whislley in flask, which he placed
the kitchen closet. His children
awol<e early Sunday morning and began
to scampor around the rooms N childish
glec. They went into the kitchen closet
and came across the whiskey bottle, and
both partook frcelJ' of its contents.
When the motfor arose she found her
two children in beastly state of intoxi-
cation. She tried every means in hor
power to resuscitate the children, but all
to no avail. DR.. Murphy was summon
ed, but the children were beyond medical
aid. Ono died Sunday forenoon and tho
other expired in the afternoon.
