way he was thrown from the mule
one of his feet hanging in the
stirrup. He was dragged for a
mile or two in that condition by
the mule. His body was terribly
mangled, his clothing was torn off,
the road being rough, narrow and
rocky. Before his body was found
it was dragged across Chattooga

the further fact that Mr. Feather
stone accused him of willingness
to renew to the same end the old
strife and bitterness. "One of
them has lied, that's develish
certain" exclaimed Tillman. Net
so fast, Benjamin. We will show
who the liar is. In your first
speech at Sumter you said: "I am
not here to rake up old feelings
or to stir up strife that belonged
to past years. We arc getting
along pretty well, and would
utter no word that would tend to
lncite feeling and prejudice"
And in your second speech at the
same place you said that you were
''no peace and unityman;" that
"there had been already too much
of that sort of thing" that "the
lines were still here and would be
drawn" This you declared to
be "straight truth +" The State
based Its remarks on your FIRST
speech and Mr. Featherstone based
his on your second. There is un-
doubtedly a lie out, Benjamin,
but the liar happens to be- the
man who spoke with two tongues
at Sumter. Both Mr. Feather
stone and The State agree on this:
that you will take any course that
seems best to assure you of con
tinuance in Office, and that You
will double on that course as often
as may seem necessary. The
