GEORGE TILLMAN ON BRYAN.

Hon. George D. Tillmlu, ex-con
gresham from South Carolina, and
a brother of Senator Ben Tillman,
has given the Augusta Chronicle
his opinion of the Democratic nom-
lnee, William ]. BRYAN, as follows:
During my career in congress ]
spent sixteen winters in Washing
ton, where | came in contact more
or less with nearly all the great
men of this country aud with many
from foreign countries, and while
serving two years in congress with
BRYAN he always impressed me as
being the greatest man | ever met
and as being just as good as he was
great. As an orator | have never
heard but three men who could be
compared with him. They were
Ben Hill, Blaine and Blackburn. He
either knows everything or has such
a faculty of reference to books that
he can quickly get any information
he wants. His memory is simply
marvellous, and he has such an init
mate knowledge of men that he can
read their character at glance.
He is always at work seeking anowl
edge, by reading, conversation or
reflection, and seems to look upon
idleness as a crime If he has any
small vice-chewing, smoking,
drinking, gaming, cursing, etc.-I
never discovered it during two years
of personal and official intercourse
with him. In fact, the man always
appeared to be enthusiastically in
spired with enthusiasm to do good
for others. Yet he is a most devot-
ed father and acts more like lover
than a husband toward his wife. In
a few words morally speaking he is
so well balanced that he could not
Intentionally do wrong thing if he
we're to try, and his intellect is so
clear and strong that he always
avoids evil as near as it is human to
do so. Therefore | think Bryan
will be president because he ought
to be; because not even the presi-
e..cy could confer greatness upon

tyr's. when the rack and the thumb
screws were used to compel people
to renouuce their religious belief
and confess another, haye such
damnable instances of coercion been
witnessed as are being perpetrated
by tn cohorts Of Mark Hanna in
this campaign. Men are being
forced to do homage to Mckinley
on pain of losing their daily bread
for their hungry children. Men are
being discharged for exercising the

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that sci
ence has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure,

j. A. Ramage, district preacher of
Sewer county. Tenn. is now engaged in
interesting the upper portion of that
county in the mysteries of a new theory
as to the end of the world.a
The theory is that the world Is flat,
like barrel mead. The theorist claims
this is original with him and the Bible,
but history says it was the starting,
point of our present orange shaped
world. He says the plate of earth re-
wolves as 1t pleases, and is governed
solely and completely by its own sweet
will, going thither and and coming hith-
er. also vice versa. without regard for
the burdensome laws of gravity or re-
spect for the claims of the solar and
other Objectionable heavenly bodies.
Then the theorist goes into details
which will be valuable to the scientific
world. He represents the world as being
set, fiat as it is, upon four props, one at
