BUTLER ON TILLMAN.-Sen But
ler was in Columbia last Wednesday,
and there was rumor in circulation
to the effect that ne had come for the
purpose of calling Senator Tillman to
account for the attack that gentleman
had made on him in his speech on
Monday. Asked about the matter by
the reporters, he said: "My eonsid-
Grafton for his brother, George D.
Tillman, who is manly man, gen.
tleman, and always strikes right out
from the shoulder, never hitting below
the belt, restrains me from saying a
great many things that l could say.
1 have denounced Ben Tillman to his
face as coward, a liar and thief,
and he did not resent it. If | should
kick him now, he would howl like a
spaniel and doubtless indict me for
assault and battery. You know you
can't keep up with constitutional liar
like he is, and 1 shall leave him to
enjoy all the glory he can gain by
attacking a man behind his back,
when he has no opportunity to reply.
His statement so far as it relates to me
is tissue of falsehoods from beginning
to end. Here is one specimen : He
refers to an interview between Gener-
al Gary and General Ruger at Edge
field on the day of election. General
Ruger was not at Edgeield at all and
the statement is pure fiction. He is
equally at fault about the second Re-
publican meeting at Edgefeld. His
account of what occurred is a fragrant
misrepresentation of what did occur.
But why attempt to follow man who
is so utterly regardless of the truth
and reckless in bis statements. Let
him CO."

Mrs. Bigger. came very near having n
serious smash-up few days ago,
which, fortunately, resulted in no very
serious damage. They started over to
see a sick neighbor, and after they
had gotten into the buggy, the mule
started off very brskly. They tried to
stop him; but he would pay no a,tcn-
tion to the lines. They then noticed
that the line had caught in the ring of
the saddle, and was not curbing the
animal at all. The mule got faster
and faster. At last Mrs. Bigger at.
tempted to get out and try to stop the
old mule. In doing so, she fell and
bruised herself considerably, but not
seriously. After awhile the mule
stopped of it's own accord, and the
party returned home, grateful that the
mishap had been no worse.
Some persons in this section are
having chills; but We hear of no very
serious illness.
Mr.. J. L. Barnett had fine mule to
die last week.
Rev. Sparrow, who breaches at
Union, on the other side of the line,
had the misfortune to lose very val
liable cow some days ago. Mr.. Moore
Warren also had a fine cow to die.
Miss Ida Ferguson has returned to
Lenoir college, Hickory, N. c., where
she will graduate this term.
Mr.. Lem Campbell and Mr.. James
Barron have returned to Fort Mill,
where they are attending school.
Through an oversight of Mr.. Bar
ron, the name of Miss Ionic Cook was
omitted from the roll of honor of For

are requested to say, is Sc.
There was delightful party at Mr..
G.. c. Ormand's on Thursday evening
last. The young ladies and gentle
men of the vicinity enjoyed it hugely.
The party was given in honor of Miss
Docia Ormand, of Kings Mountain,
n. C.
Mr.. James Stanton, who for the past
year or two has been in business in
Selma, Ala, has returned home. He
is now busy having repairs done on
his plantation.
Work on the Foretst Hill lithia
spring, had been stopped until pump
can be had to draw off the water that
rushes in so rapidly that the workmen
could not fix in the pipe.
Mr.. George L. Riddle has had an
expert from Pennsylvania fixing the
new machinery in his mill. They will
start to grind today.
Messrs. Stanton, Riddle & Co., will
send specimens of ore from their gold
| mine to Atlanta to the exposition.
There was large attendance at the
debate at Forest Hill on Friday even
ing last. The debaters acquitted them
selves with great credit. The society
meets every two weeks at o'clock on
Friday evening. The school at Forest
Hill is now small, and will likely be so
until the cotton picking is over. x.

Sion Gate, also known as the Bah and
Nabi Daud, or gate of the Prophet
David. This is no doubt the original
line of Il thoroughfare that has existed
from the earliest times, and it is as
sumed that there must have been a
similar gate at the end of this main
street in the older wall. This was one
Of the points DR.. Bliss was directed to
discover. The gate which has been
found is not exactly in the position
where the expected gate was supposed
to exist; it is little too far to the
west to be in line with the main
street. Still, it ought to be borne in
mind that the present Sion Gate is not
quite at the end of that street, but
little to the west of it; this may indi-
cate that some reasons existed for the
deviation in both cases. Here, for the
present judgment must be suspended,
as the "spade" will in time settle the
matter.
This point would have been cleared
by this time, but in tracing the wall
eastward difficulties arose with some
of the proprietors of fields on the sub
ject Of remuneration, and DR.. Bliss,
merely as a strategical move in the
negotiations, started his operations
still farther to the east, where he pick
ed up the line of the wall again near
the Pool of Sloan. There be found
the wall runs south Of the old pool,
and turns up in a northerly direction.
and as the Hinnom Valley here meets
the Kedrom Valley it is assumed that
the wall will continue northward till
it joins the portion of the Ophel wall
which Warren came upon during his
operations; this will then connect it
with the old wall of the Temple in
closure at the southeast corner. The
Ophel wall is mentioned in II Chroni-
cles, xvii, 8, where it is said lothian
"built the high gate of the house of
the Lord, and the wall of Ophel he
built much" 1t is also referred to in
Nehemiah, iii, 26-7: Moreover, the
Nethlnims dwelt in Ophel, unto the
place over against the water gate to-
WdIuS IuC cdSIj anu ILlC IO"SI CudG lloGu
out. After them the Tekoites repaired
another piece, over against the great
tower that lieth out, even unto the
wall of Ophel."
Close to the corner, where the newly
discovered wall turns northward,
another gate has been found. AS four
or five courses of the draughted mason
ry still exist, the details of this gate
can be well made out. Its date may
be also determined to within few
years, for Josephus says that at his
time Sloan was outside the walls but
Antonius, martyr, who wrote about
$40 a. D., states that " Il The
mountain of Siloa is at the presant
day within the walls of the city, be-
cause the Empress Eudocia herself
added these walls to the city," This
makes it evident that the portion of
the wall with its gates DR.. Bliss has
brought to light at Sloan was that
built by this empress, and its erection
may be dated as having taken place
within year or two of the middle of
the Fifth century. The remains of the
older wall that existed in the time of
Josephus are no doubt still under
ground, and will require to be sought
for in order to make the exploration
complete at this locality.

QUEEN Anne's county is accorded
with having the best regulated school
system in the state outside of Baltimore
city, says the Ellicott City qymes. The
county has population of lS,4Gl and
expends about $4,000 for educational
purposes. The average salary of teach
ers is larger than is paid by any other
county, and the schools are kept open
ten m onths. The per capita eXpendi-
ture in Queen Annes is exceeded only
10y the city. There is no reason why
every county in the state should not
nave efficient schools taught by capable,
