CONCERN ABOUT TILLMAN.
South Carolina Politics-Reform
Party Crisis-McLaurin-Ii

WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 21.-
fsnecial)-South Carolnians here express
great concern about the condition OF
Senator Tillman's health. His illness is
due TO a complication OF troubles, and
prominent among them, according to ap-
parently well authenticated reports, Is
Bright's disease. He will not be able to
speak I'm Richmond on the date fixed for
his appearance there, and 1t is appre-
hended that he may not be able to re-
sumo active public duties for some time.
There is much speculation here touch
ing the effect of his Illness on South
Carolina politics.
"With Tillman out Of South Carolina
politics." said a prominent Democrat OF
the State. "the Reform party is dead.
Without Tillman's leadership 1t will soon
disintegrate, and the old Hampton re-
eime will again dominate State politics.
1,ha Conservative faction has been pray
ing and waiting for the climax that now
seems imminent as the result OF TILL
mans retirement from active public life.
The immediate effect Will be seen when
the South Carolina Legislature meets
next winter. II McLaurin is elected
according to the primary mandate, and
IN view of the intervening conditions sug-
oested II will mean the end OF the Re-
form party as a distinctive organization
His election will unity the party. and re-
sult in the event Of Senator Tillman's
death in the election Of a Democrat of
the old regime. Among the most promi-
nent names mentioned in this connection
,s that of Colonel ]. c. Hemphill, editor
Of the Charleston News and Courier"

The Grand Camp Of Virginia held two
protracted sessions yesterday at Lee
Camp Hail. and transacted much busi-
sess Of Importance. The day was not
however, wholly devoted TO work. and
the veterans found time 10 gather round
the ole White House of the Confederacy
in the afternoon TO witness an interest
ing ceremony incident to the presen.a-
ton 70 the Ladies' Confederate Memo
rial Society of a flag which formerly be-
longed TO the Powhatan Troop. After
their labors the veterans were regaled
at a banquet spread for them at Sanger
Hall.
The most interesting feature OF the
days proceedings was the adoption Of
the history report after short debate.
Colonel Cussons was unanimously re-
elected Grand Commander at the morn
ing session, but he positively refused 10
act, and at the evening session Colonel
stubbs First Lieutenant-Comman
was elected TO the office. Another i'm
portant act was the adoption OF reso-
lutions TO forward the movement to erect
a monument to President Davis.
An important feature Of the day was
the adoption of a motion to petition the
Legislature to increase the annual ap-
propriation for the Soldiers Home by
lOOoO. in order that the scope of its
usefulness may be enlarged.
The work of all the Confederate So
cieties during the past year was eulo-
gized. The camp stands in a much better
position to-day than ever before, and
starts out upon another years work with
renewed vigor. The next annual meet
ing will be held In Culpeper.

 Thermometers in this village indicated 8 degrees above zero last Tuesday morn ing. Much of the snow that fell last week Is still with us, and the weather continues cold enough for midwinter. The ground Is frozen hard, many of the ponds are frozen over. At the Hollow the pond was covered with skaters all day Tuesday, and on Wednesday most of the ponds hereabouts were skated upon.

MARTINS FERRY.

Las. evening at the Presbyterian
church Rev. S T. ScOyel president OF
the Wooster University, delivered a
mastery address to the graduating class
of the High school. The church was
crowded and the speaker held the at
tentiOn of his audience from START to
finish. His address was devoted main
" to the motives which cause us to
want an education. One of the wonders
of nature. he said. was the strange
power of selecting in our own nature
and then responding TO that motive
which had caused us to select it. Our
affinity and our choice gives us our
power to undertake and do what we
have chosen. This power, to be acu-
ated by our motives is singular one
We elevate ourselves by the motives
which predominate and these motives
when carefully chosen lead us to live
life of dignity. To be moved by the
outer currents or the motives about
us signifies that we are p3ralyzed IN
our own motives.
Before we undertake to do anything
we must first find all possible motives
3uG tHtu NltA VIC So NHN 90
then go ahead with our work.
There is a passion for universal il
telligence. The desire 10 know creates
2 motive for study, it creates q. motive
in the student who studies to want the
real knowledge and not TO be satisfied
with a sham.
4 desire to know is the cause Of the
exploits to the various parts Of the
earth. the experiments in science, and
the many other things chat have been
brought forth.
Another motive is found in knowl-
edge itself but of desire to know.
Real knowledge is useful to man in
every walk of life. bu.. as sure as
knowledge is disesteemed the search for
II is sure to be discontinued. The
Christian poiat Of view Of knowledge

which is gcod for man or boy, rich or
