AS the vote on the tariff bill,
which may be taken at an early
day, will be very close, it is i'm
portant that South Carolina have
a Senator appointed to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
the lamented Earle. And as the
electing- oody, viz : the Legisla
ture, will not meet till January.
it is likely that Governor Ellerbe
will appoint some one to serve
till the Legislature meets. In the
mean time primary will likely
be held sometime during the
Summer or Fall to nominate a
man for the position.

A Bad Showing.

Writing under date of May IA,
the Chester correspondent of the
Columbia Register says: The an.
nual meeting of the stockholders
of the Catawba Spinning mill was
held yesterday. The mill was
found to be in deplorable finan-
cial condition under the manage
ment Of ID. A. Tompkins,of Char
lotte. debt of $4,000 having
been created since he assumed
charge as President. 1t was also
found that he had gived credit to
the Chester mills, ,an insolvent in
stitutlon, to the amount of $25,-
600, without any security. The
stockholders were loud in their
condemnation of President Tomp-
klns, and passed resolutions to
that effect. A new board of di-
rectors were elected, and the
books of the company will be
kept at Chester, instead of Char
lotte as heretofore. An action
has been brought against MIR.
Iompkins and his dummies" to
recover the $25, 600 advanced to
the Chester mills without securi-
ty. Interest for one year on the
first mortgage bonds Of $4,000 on
the Chester mills was due on Nav
/, but the same has not yet bee n
paid. No reason has been given
by the board of directors for this
failure.

TILLMAN TO ELLERBE,
THAT FAMOUS LETTER AT
LAST MADE PUBLIC.
The Senator Joins in the De-
mand for an Investigation into
DiSpenSary Matters.

Governor Ellerbe having de-
clined to give my letter to the
press as | requested, l waited
to hear from him before giving it
out. 1t was written very hurriedly
and some things in it seemed to
him to be reflection on his ad-
ministration and he also objected
to my structures on some men
and things as coming through
him for fear they would be con-
sidered as receiving his endorse
ment. AS | intended no retlec-
tion on the governor, and had no
purpose Of striking others over
his shoulder" have modified
the language which he considered
to reflect on HIM and give the
letter to the public in the form of
a statement. | only addressed it
to him in the first place because
governor, he alone could order an
investigation. 1t is substantially
as first written except that have
changed my comments on the
Agricultural hall matter some
since reading the opinion of
Justice Harlan and left out one
or two sentences which might be
considerded as making boastful
comparisons.
The dispensary scandals and
the recent decision in regard to
the Agricultural hall case have
excited deep feel ing of concern
In the minds of the people of the
State, and have given my enemies
a good excuse to engage anew in
the pleasant past time of abusing
and slandering me in connection
with both. commend heartily
the governors action In pressing
the recent investigation and Join
in the sentiment: Let no guilty
man escape" | have no desire,
nor do | believe has the governor,
TO make scapegoats of anyone
but if there are any big fish IN
the net, let them not break
through and punish only the lit
tie ones.
There has been more or less
looseness in vogue in regard to
samples from the very start and
it is probable that contraband
liquors and samples became
mixed III the minds Of men con-
nected with the dispensary so
that due regard to law has not
been had in the disposal of con-
traband seizures.
But if there are no graver
