Tillman's Good Work.

Senator Tillman is doing good
work in Washington for South
Carolina He is a whole team
in himself and loses no oppor-
tunity to advance the interests of
his state. Among other things,
we note that he has taken a great
deal of interest in the Port Royal
naval station, which has been
kicked and cuiI,ed about by the
federal authorities as if it was
never worth serious consideration.
although Port Royal harbor is
deep enough and big enough to
float the combined navies of the
world. and its location on the
South Atlantic seaboard would
seem to indicate that it is the one
place above all others that needs
Il first class dry dock.
We presume that Senator Till
man deserves more credit than
any other man for the increase
in the appropriation for that
point OF $4,000, as passed by the
house, to $330,000.-York Yeo-
man.

THE NEW YEAR WEATHER.
1t VIII Start at the Bottom of the Lad

The new year must bring along its furs

way of pleasant weather to the newcomer.
The year 1898 commenced making it's prep
arations for frigid farewell yesterday
morning, and at o'clock this morning the
zero point was in sight. 1t will get colder,
says the weather man, and remain unpleas-
antly chilly for at least three days. The
new year has not announced any change in
climatic fashions for the first few days of
its reign, and for some time, at least will
follow the present style laid down by the
present regime.
In the wilds of Montana the cold wave
which arrived yesterday started. The man

night and a total drop of nearly 90 degrees
within twenty-four hours. Zero weather,
the indications are will prevail for several
