Mr.. Labouchere says in London
Truth: 'Lord Salisbury is SUFFERING
from a severe attack of ultimatum
upon the brain. His condition is the
cause of grave anxiety to every foreign
Government. There are now five
British ultimatums out, addressed re-
spectively to Ashanti, Belgium, China,
Turkey and Venezuela. The ire.
pressible anxiety displayed by foreign
Governn ents, especially by the impe-
cunious Republics of Central and
South America, to have British ulti-
matum presented to them is easily ex-
planned. Thepresent value of a British
ultimatum in the autograph market is

Under the circumstances you will appreciate

chuckled Uncle Cottle.
Tim realized in flash that this was
his "Maud," and it was his letter she
was answering, not his uncle's; but
he could not SEQ his way to saying so.
"What does she mean about your
address," he said.
"Why, was nervous when l wrote
that letter, and must have forgotten
to put my address in; that's why she
didn't answer before; she couldn't.
And it's just occurred to her to look
IN the directory. See? I meant to
have asked her about 1t, but she was
SO nice and amiable and smiling, and
I was SO -so-well. hardly kn ow how
I was but there didn't seem any need
to apologize, and, in fact, I never
thought about it till I was coming

sake of saying something.

forty, but she's only twenty-nine -she
told me so herself. showed her my

"'Oh, that's all right, she says

"Then when's it to be?" says I.
"And it's going to be next month. !"

orphan, SO wc want you, my boy---age
don't matter; it's only matter OF
form---to be father at the wedding,
and give her away"
Tim was gloomy and reckless, and
said he would. Why shouldn't he ?
He had given away his prospects; he
had given away his uncle; he might
just as we'll do the thing thoroughly
and give away the widow as well /; then
he would have nothing and nobody
left to keep.-.but himself. Tit Bits.

TROUBLE ron FARMERS.
Charleston Congresses Object to
Wire Ties for Cotton.

Register
Last week we published card
from Durrt & Co., of Greenwood
advocating the use of wire ties for
baling cotton. The following is on
the other side:]
"The Charleston congresses are
disposed to help the farmers in
their fight against the fiat iron tie
trust, and the fact that they took
the initiative in pressing the wire
bound bales proves this, but the
congresses now say that the wire
ties in use are too much for them
and they feel constrained to call a
hat.
1t appears that the wire fist used
was too thin and that it cut the
bagging considerably. To obviate
this, the alliance recently adopted
a thicker wire but in doing away
with one objection they have
brought on another and much
more serious difficulty. The wire
ties which are now coming to the
congresses are not pliahle enough
and the compress men cannot man
ipulate them.
The trouble took something of a
definite shape to-day when Mr.. w.
e. Huger, the receiver Of the East
Shore Terminal Railroad compress,
addressed the following letter TO
Messrs. Knoop, Frericks & Co.,
which speaks for itself:
Messrs. Knoop, Frerlcks & Co.,
City. Gentlemen: Among the bales
received from the railroad yester,
day for your house at the union
cotton press there are some eigh,
teen or twenty wire bands ike The
one thataccompanying this note. II
is impossible for the press to gie
cotton with this wire. 1t is only
necessary for you to examine the
twist or lock made by the country
man himself to see how useless i
would be to make this kind If {
hitch OH a compressed bale.
l shall be glad if you will tell u!
what you want done in regard tt
the matter. Yours truly,
WM. e. HUGER, Receiver
The compressors and cotton fac
tors are now considering the mat
ter and will take some uefnite &C

Senator Tillman said John took
nobody's advice; the Senatorial
campaign was the worst bungled
affair he ever saw. He advised
John to pay no attention tc Duncan
and ignore him altogether, but on
every stump John would refer to
Duncan, and would endeavor to
answer every charge except the one
important charge he should have
answered-the charge that referred
to himself (Tillman) as having
lined his own pockets-this he ig-
nored.
"Some time ago John told him
about what he had found out about
Mixson and the rebates, and he
then advised John to remove Mix
son, and warned him that if be did
not and it was found out on him
that he knew of this rascality, and
as Governor took no action, he
would be defeated in his race for
Senator"
The Senator thought John dis
played very little knowledge of hu-
mar nature, "lut he is young yet,"
the Senator added, "and has plenty
of time to learn. 1 don't think the
people really think that John is
guilty of these charges that have
been made against h1m-except
those whose minds are full of pre-
iudice. AS to the bond matter
John did nothing more than any
other lawyer would have done
