and some of them revealed an
amount of information, forceful
expression and ability to reason
clearly remarkable in such young
men.
Friday morning the "IittIe Rose

the medical facts of the case my
conclusion is that while no one oil
the symptoms would justify the
opinion of insanity, yet taken alto

The Blacklist Smashed.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Special.
Governor Tillman's blacklist
was shattered all to pieces to-day
by the appointment of Robert W..
Harris as postmaster at Union.
MI. Harris, it will be remem-
bered was one of the Tillmanite
delegates to the National Demo-
cratic Convention, presumably a
Hill man, but, to the surprise ana
chagrin Of his associates, he, with
Mr.. Jervey, Of Charleston, voted
for Mr.. Cleveland. For this act Of
d~isloyalty TO the "dominant ele-
ment" in South Carolina, MI. Har-
ris was "black-listed" at Washing
by Governor Tillman and Senator
Irby. He was the man, above alt
others, whom Irby has been fight
ing here.
The appointment is regarded by
South Carolinians here as the sig
nal of Senator Buffers C and
shows pretty clearly how the
patronage is going. The appoint
ment was predicted several weeks
ago in this correspondence.
Ben Perry sent the following tel
egram this evening to Irby, to
whom he does not speak,
"Your friend, r., w. Harris, was
appointed postmaster at Union to-
day. Come on and assist me-"
Irby is fighting Perry as hard as
he fought Harris.
The Internal Revenue Collec4cr-
ship may not be rnade now until
the 9Th Of August. The incumbent
was not appointed until that date,
being one Of the last collectors to
be appointed in the South.-The
State, Sunday.
An occasional bottle of Ayers
Sarsaparilla does more to correct

cumulate humors, and keep the
organs sound and healthy, than

To Editor of ADVERTISER.


. In an editorial last week COM
menting on the now famous Lavelle
case you say "the Governor sub
mitted the question (of his sanity
to a committee Of Experts and
learned AesculapIans who diff
fered as doctors have done afore-
time" etc. The report of the
Special Commission, as I Temem-
Der it, (for I have not the files of
the daily paper by meg does not
justify your structure upon the cur
rently reported tendency of medi-
cal men to disagree. The Commits
sion was a mixed one, consisting of
Doctors Tabor, Memminger and
DeSaussure, and Messrs. McGahan
and Tucker.
A majority of the doctors as we'll
as the expert witness DR.. Babcock
agreed in a report that was less
favorable to the prisoner than the
minority report filed by the other
two.
Independent thinkers will often
differ, but when they unite in an
honest effort to solve difficult prob
lens, affecting public polity, and
to assist in the administration of a
Justice that shall be un-infuenced
by popular clamor or the efforts Of
legal obstructiUnists, give them
that credit which Is their due.
Very respectfully,

The fast time, splendid equipment and
magnificent service of the r. & d. is
greatly appreciated by the travelling
public, as is manifested daily by their
very large and constantly increasing
passenger travel.
The management of the company is in

and high character-broad and liberal in
their view, strictly business" in their
methods and rules of conduct, just and
reasonable toward all patrons. showing
no favoritism, making no promises to be
broken, guaranteeing nothing they can
not accomplish. Such a system, with
such a management, is justly the pride
of the people it serves and the section
through which it passes. The influence
of its progressive policy has become
contagious on every mile Of it's great

impulse to the energies of the people
