Neglecting His Business.

1t seems that Tillman is already
neglecting the business Of the high
Office to which the people elected him.
Instead of remaining in the Senate in
Washington and looking after the
interests of the people, he is career
ing around over the country making
buncomb speeches and talking to news
paper reporters.
If we are not mistaken he thought
in 1890 that Wade Hampton ought to
attend to the business of the people
instead Of leaving Washington and
presuming to talk politics to the peo-
pie.
The people of the United States are
paying him about $16 every dayin the
year to sit in the Senate, during it's
session, but instead of doing so and
rendering faithful service to the coun-
try, he is drawing his SIG daily while
he is %gallivanting around making
speeches and threatening to bolt from
the political party to which he is in
debted for his position.
The people should hold him to a
strict accountability, ever as he held
others up to public gaze, and our peo-
pie should see that he does not be-
come a political tramp.--Press and
Banner.

SECOND COLD HARBoR.
On the morning of the second battle
of Cold Harbor, in 1864, Judge Mere
dith and Judge Lyons, two of the
judges in Richmond, and myself, rode
out to the battlefield, crossing the
Chickahominy at Mechanicsville, and
riding along a road a few hundred
yards in the real of our lines of battle.
The battle was then raging the whole
length of our line. Squads of prison
ers were from time to time being
brought back to the road we were on.
When we reached the point where we
had a view of the Gaines Mill farm,
we saw the enemy's shells were falling
in the field about General Lees head
quarters. At that time there was a
good deal Of solicitude, both in the
army and among civilians, about Gen
eral Lee exposing himself so much in
battle. And it was felt that his loss
would be a great calamity. I sugges-
ted to Judges Meredith and Lyons
that I would ride down to the gener-
ais headquarters. They said they
would not go, but asked me to suggest
to General Lee the question as to
whether he could not cover himself
by some large trees a few hundred
yards in his rear, and from these send
his orders and receive reports, as we'll
as from the exposed position he was
in then. When I reached his head
quarters his staff officers were all out,

Now we happen to think of it, ~
Of the most impressive scenes of the
campaign of 1890 occurred during the
joint debate at Anderson. Attorney
General Earle was warning the people of
the danger of Tillman's course and cited
the case Of Walker Russell who had
started as Tillman did and wound up q
full fedged republican. Tillman leaped
from his seat at the back of Che stage and
in a clustering, bulldozipg way demanded
that General Earle look him in the eye
and say if he intended to accuse him
(Tillman) of not being a true Democrat.
General Earle walked up to Tillman,
looked him squarely in the eye. shook a
finger close in his face and replied very
deliberately, "Captain Tillnan, I want
you to understand that God hasn't made
the man I am afraid to looE, In the eye.
I do not mean to say you are not a Demo-
crat now, but I tell you the course you
are taking 's dangerous and will lead you
away from the party" TilIman did not
try to buster with General Earle any
more during the campaign. Recent
events give Judge Earle abundant reason
for claiming the gift of prophecy

pEMBERToN's RESIGNATION.
After he was exchanged as a prison
err and released from his parole, I was
with President Davis in his office
when General Pemberton called on
him and stated that the discomfort on
account of the fall Of Vicksburg had
destroyed his usefulness in high com
mand, and made it proper for him to
resign his commission as lieutenant
general, which he did, and he asked
to be assigned to the rank of lieuten-
ant colonel of artillery in the regular
army of the ~Confederacy. The Presi-
dent, with expressions of sympathy
and regret, accepted his resignation as
lieutenant general and vas assigned to
the line rank Of lieutenant colonel of

Champion Honest Man Found.

WASHINGTON, April l8:-Among
ssfrst defenders" who have for two or
three days been revisiting the nation
al capital is John Any Mckee, a law
yer from Western Pennsylvania. Mrs.
Mckee has a strange story to tell.
. everyone knows" said he, ''of
the warm reception which met the
Logan Guards when they arrived in
Baltimore thirty-fve years ago.
Though battered with missiles Of ev-;
cry description, from mud to bricks,
We were ordered not to fire, no matter
what was done to us. AS q result
several of our boys were badly hurt
and bruised and among the number
your humble servant.
II felt pretty sore and faint, and
remarked that I would give a dollar
for a drink of whiskey. Immediately
from the. edge of the crowd a man
stepped up to me and said he would
get me a pint Of whiskey for a dollar.
1 gave him the d~ollaf,~and he moved
off hastily. Just then we were order
ed to march, and 1 supposed my man
and the dollar had passed from my
life forever, but not so, for last Thurs
day, when the remaining "frst de-
tenders landed for the second time
in Baltimore, a man among the crowd
on the platform addressed us. he
said he was looking for a little fellow
who, t~hirty-6ve years ago that day,
gave him a dollar with which to buy a
pint of whiskey. He was anxious to
know if the little fellow was with
us, or if he had been killed during the
war.
IT went forward and claimed the
mans whiskey, and he said, as he
shook my hand and looked me over:
well, here's your whiskey. 1t ought
to be pretty good, for I've kept it for
you thirtu-fve years."

MONUMENT TO WOMEN

The people of the South have erect,
ed monuments to many of our heroic
defenders, both. officers and soldiers.
But there is one other monument
which should be erected. That is, a
monument which shall perpetuate the
great services, the suffering and the
patriotic devotion of the noble women
of the late Confederacy. Their strug-
pies in the care Of their families at
home, their anxiety on account Of ia
theirs, brothers and sons in the field,
their efforts to provide clothing and
supplies for those in the army, their
services in ministering to the sick,
the wounded and the dying in the hos
pitfalls, the privations, want and suffer-
ing they so patiently endured, because
of their devotion to the Confederate
cause, was unsurpassed in ancient or
modern times, unsustained and unre-
lieved by the excitement which ami
mated the soldier. These virtues are
worthy Of being p%erpetuated in his
tory, and in in marble and bronze.
