SENATOR T!LLMANS VIEWS.
EXPRESSES HIS OPINIONS FREELY CON

WAsnINGToN, d. c., Jaly "a
Senator Tillman passed through
Washington last Tuesday on his way
to the meeting of the Democratic
National Committee at Chicago.
He said he did not know what was
the purpose of the meeting or what
subjects would come up for consid-
Grafton.
South Carolina, he said, was still
for Bryan and would send that sort
of a delegation to the next Demo-
cratic National Convention.
On the subject of the general
political situation as respects the
Democratic party, he said that he
was fully aware that a determined
effort was being made by "somc gold
bugs and traitors, assisted by Repub-
licans, and probably with Mark
Ianna's money!" to drop free silver
from the Democratic platform.
When the convention meets, ne
said, there would probably be a very
determined fight made to accomplish
this; but he was confident that it
could not succeed.
lie said he thought the Demo
cratic Convention would be safely
under the control of Bryan people
and that the platform Of '96 would
be readopted with such additions as
more recent developments required.
Speaking OF the Philippine situa-
tion he said that it looked to him as
if the administration had entirely
underestimated the difficulties of the
campaign and that after the big sac
rifice of life and money we were
about in the same position we were
at the outbreak of hostilities.

The papers North and South have
had much to say about the "kissing
bug" recently and its poisonous and
sometimes deadly sting or bite on the
lips. They make the impression
that the bug is very shy and that it
attacks only the lips. Entomologists
say that there is no such bug. There
are poisonous bugs and insects which
bite or sting any part Of the body at
this season of the year. They do
their work sometimes at night when
the hands and face are exposed.
Often children will rise in the morn
ing with swollen fingers, lips, ears or
cheeks, the result of bite or sting
from one of these insects. There arc
no kissing bugs.

The Southern Churchman says
that the "Curfew" law in several
cities is attended with good results.
''The attention of Massachusetts
women's clubs has been called to the
ordinance Of the Curfew as it has
been introduced in certain cities and
towns of the Commonwealth. Word
comes of the wonderful success of
the measure, where it is being en-
forced in sending flying home, just
before the fatal hour, the members
of the various sidewalk gangs of chill
dren that menace the peace of the
community. Such means,' said a
Massachusetts woman yesterday, 'of
preventing the mischief that is
brewcd on the street corner, and of
saving the boys and girls from them
selves, deserves the serious conside-
ration of all who sec what those
children may become if left to them
selves.'" That boys and girls should
not be allowed on the streets at
night, that evil will come to them
thereby, has been so often said and
is 80 well known to parents, that
everything that can be done to pre-
vent it meets %ith tho hearty APP
proval of all good citizens. May
"Curfew" ring out in all our streets

Ho Kept the Seat.

A man who had not been toAsGWrch
for a very long time finally hardened
to the pcrsuasions Of his wife, and
decided to go. He got the family
all together and they started early.
Arriving at the church there were
very few people in it, and no pew
openers at hand, so the man led his
family well up the aisle and took
possession of nice pew. .#'
just as the service was about to
begin a pompous-looking old man
came in, walked up to the door of
the pew and stood there, exhibiting
evident surprise that it was occupied.
The occupants moved over and Of
fercd him room to sit down, but he
declined to be seated. Finally the
old man produced a card and wrote
upon it with a pencil
81 pay for this pew"
IIc gave the card to the strange
occupant, w'.o, had he been like
most people, would have at once got
up and left. But the intruder ad-
justed his glasses and with g smile
read the card. Then ho calmly
wrote beneath it:
"iIow much do you pay ycar2"
TO this inquiry tho po,npous old
gentleman, still standing, wrote alb
ruptly:
"Ten pounds"
The stranger smiled as though he
were pleased, looked around to COM
pare the pew with others, admired
its nice cushions and furnishings and
wrote back: .l-...
81 don't blame you. 1t is we'll
worth it." ..
The pompous old gentleman at
chat stage collapsed into his seat.

The Columbia State is hard to
satisfy. 1t wants Richland County
to swallow Lexington County, and
Columbia swallow them both. It
proposes the consolidation of Lexing-
ton and Richland into one county
with Columbia as the county seat,
and the State gives some very good
reasons for the scheme.

This dry weather has set people to
talking about 1916, the famous dry
year. One would have to be 70 or
rs years old to remember the particu-
lars of that year. The general i'm
preston is that there was moisture
enough in the ground to make a toll
crably fair wheat crop. The oat
crop was failure. After the first
of May there was not rain enough
to wet the ground an inch until some
time in the fall. /Heavy clouds
would roll up and there would be
every sign of rain, but only a few
drops would fall. Small streams
went dry in August and September
and many of the mills in the country
could not grind. There was no at
tempt to gather the upland corn.
The little sun dried stalks were cut
down for forage and it was worth
little. When the rain began in the
fall no one seems to remember

Gen. Toombs was making n speech
IN Sandersville, Ga, urging scces-

other things he advised the young
mon to go to the front, declaring that
the Yankees did not know how to
shoot and would speedily be defeated.
Two Young Washington county men
enlisted at the breaking out of hos
tilitics and promptly went to battle.
During one of the severe engagements
of the early part of the war
these comrades, who had become
separated from their company,
sought the shelter of tree.
Bullets were grazing the bark on one
side, and as the mon crouched TO-

splinter the trunk Of the tree on the
other side. The situation was too
close to be comfortable, and the an

The state legislature has been
very negligent in the matter of
properly shaping the revenue laws
in order to guarantee their passage
at this session. The financial con-
dition OF the state is recognized by
the members, but nevertheless, with
a deficit threatening, they have
considered favorably only one bill
calculated to raise revenue to meet
tho expenses of the state. The
bill to limit the county levy is still
hanging fire and if its passage is
obstructed, the state and its inst-
tutions viii suffer severely from
lack of funds. No more important
measure came up before the present
session, and if it is not already too
late, it should receive immediate
and careful attention.

Job printer cannot compete with it.

fight.
