Senator Tillmau's letter to Gov. FL
lerbe appeared in the Sunday papers.
1t confesses that he, while managing
the Dispensary, appropriated the sam
Piles for himself and ~hangers-on. Ho
instances ex-Gov. Evans as q distin-
guished examplar in like case. This
will probably be regarded by Evans as
a work OF supererogation' and to be
left for Evans. Tho letter Is frank at
least but proves that there was millions
in samples" Very frank indeed, and
has the ring of-''if this be treason,
make the most Of It," The rest OF the
letter Is devoted to a defense OF Till
mans agency in tho Agricultural Wa
ter-Haul matter and undertakes to
show how tho State having lost tho

Death Of U. s. Senator Earle &.

The death Of Senator Joseph III.
Earle, which occurred at his home,
Greenville, on Thursday last, is O
grave calamity to the State OF South
Carolina and the whole country. Sena-
tor Earle had exceptional qualifica-
ions for a public servant-laborious,
conscientious, well informed, honest,
patriotic, n broad and conservative
In character. To some extent his
election was fortuitous but greatly for
tunate for the State, and circum-
stances are such at this j%uncture rs to
preclude all hope Of a successor who
shall stand in his attitude as the repre-
sentative OF all interests and Gle.
ments In the State. The vacancy will
be filled by Governor Ellerbe tom
porarily, the appo'ntee holding until
the meeting OF the Legislature in jan
uary next, which will elect q successor
to fill out the term. 1t Is mere specu-
lation, but there are Congressman
Wilson, McLaurin, Talbort and Stokes,
ex-senator Watson, Of Edgefield, Sena-
tor Norris, of Anderson, who suggest
themselves at this writing as likely to
command the consideration Of his Elk
cellency. In this emergency, We feel
assured that the whole State views
the death Of Senator Earle as closing
what promised an honorable and use
full career for the people OF South
Carolina.

will soften down certain salient para

the politicians and hungry officials. 1t
also scarriies Judge Simonton and

JUDGE NooNAN FOR U. S. JUDGE.

Judge Noonan is still in Washington;
his host of friends are anxious that the
Judge remain at the seat of govern
ment until the Mckinley dinner bell
rings and the faithful are called in to
help themselves to a piece of pie. The
| judge has been offered business in the
line of his profession and should he
conclude to remain in Washington
would certainly be much sought after
by those who have business needing
attention at Washington. The judge
most certainly has the say so in regard
to some of the pie, but hesitates to de-
eide between his friends. The judge
really needs some good snug piece of
pie himself, and his friends will urge
that it be in the direction of the U. S.
judiciary. The administration will
be confronted with the lack of judges
in Texas the unfortunate calamity
of Judge John B. Rector's illness and
inability to serve should be sufficient
cause to have another judge appoint
ed Judge Noonan's elevation to the
U. judiciary would be a fitting rec
ignition of thirty years service on the
state bench.
The list or notarleS pubic sent IN TO

NO DANGER OF ITS FAILING
DOWN

The condemnation of the old Vera
mendi building, called the Veramendi
palace, by the city council as being I'M
safe has caused a good deal of COM
ment. 1t is an old One-story Spanish
building, the walls are built of rub
bic stone, and are over three feet in
thickness, sufficient to Withstand a
cannOnade. The roof may be out of
whack, but the walls have never been
plumb. We would like to see it
stand as long as it's old fogy owners
want to repair and keep it up because
Of the historic interest attached to
the building. The old folding doors
to the wide front entrance should be
secured as a historic mementO; they
bear the bullet marks of the storming
Of San Antonio. Milan the hero of
the affair, fell just inside the passage
way. Such thick walls are not east
ly pushed down and the city council
should be sure they are right before
ordering the building to be pulled
down.

SAN ANTONIO GROWS

1t is a fact that, Notwithstanding
the general depression over the whole
country, the apparent cessation of i'm
migration, San Antonio keeps on grow
ing all the same. Most certainly the
past two years have BEEN most dis
cOuraging, yet the publisher of the
new city directory claims that he has
secured 1000 new names, while the
loss of 400 old names, or names report
ed in the directory, two years ago
leaves a net gain of 1,G00. 1t is also
calculated that on a percentage of two
and one half to the name San An
tonic has at least a population of S.
900.
Our city keeps on growing; keeps
on building; more people are engaging
lin business everyday, and the main
thing is to furnish work and business
to our people. The prospect of i'm
provement looks bright for us, since
the Republican administration came
into power and West Texas, of which
San Antonio is the metropolis, will
blossom as rose.

Cuba is more United States terrific
~ than she is the territory of any
other nation, on the principle that the
Islands along the coast are of right the
property of the occupants of the main
lands. There are of course, exceptions
to this rule, but the real ownership of
all islands would be best held by the
people occupying the nearest 'mainlands
Were this so there would be less dispu-
ting possession and Cuba would natur-
ally fall into the possession of the
United States. AS to this latter. it is
only question of time when that will
happen. There is not reason that can
lie advanced with force against the
ownership of Cuba by the United
States. 1t is like a commercial and
an industrial and a naval necessity.
It's ownership will give us a complete
control of the Gulf of Mexico. give us
fertile tropical state to grow our own
sugars and spices on, affording at the
same time a market for no inconsid-
cradle of our agricultural productions.
There is no reason why these advan-
tages should not be ours and at once.
