tor Benjamin Tillman is not going to have
a wallsover in his race for reelection next

Lawrence W. Youmans Of Hampton
county has announced his intention TO
compete with Senator Tnlman for sena-
torial honors, and win follow the usual
style of campaigning in the Palmetto state
by challenging the senator to joint de-
bates on the husungs. Such a contest
promises to be veritable duel with

cessful farmer, a typical wool-hat Demo-
crat. and is said to be one of the best
rough and tumble stump speakers in
South Carolina. lie Is a Bryan, free sill
yer. anu-Tnlman Democrat, and is gem
orally regarded aS more than match tor
Senator Tillman in any style Of discuss
sion the latter may employ.
Mr.. Youmaus has never before aspired
to public office, although he takes an In
terest in both state and national politics.
His friends claim that he Is personally
more popular with the wool-hat conun-
gent throughout the state than Tilman IL,
and he has displayed keen political sagac-
ity In choosing the time at which to an
tagonize Senator 11lman. 1t IS said that
the senator has arrayed against him all
OF his former lieutenants who helped to
make him all powerful In the state.
With a general insurrection or revolt
against Tillman among the party leaders,
Mr., Youmans expects 10 make the coming
campaign even more exciting than the

There is absolutely no truth in the pub
