Talking In Washington of a
Deal With Tillman.
HAS BEEN DISCUSSED.
Ii the State Will Undertake to
Care for the Jaunt of the Till
man-Latimer Party-Till-
man Regarded AS Invinci-
BILE for Reelection, but
McLaurln Considered
Fair Game.

Savannah, April S.-A special
from Washington to the Morning
News says:
The report comes by a some.
what circuitous route, and will
not undertake to vouch for It's ac-
curacy. 1t is to the effect that a
treaty of peace has been made be-
tween Senator Tillman and his
former political rival, Gen. Nj.
&. Butler, and the program is
said to be that Gen. Butler will
endeavor to return 70 the Senate
as the successor of the present
Junior Senator, McLaurin, at the
expiration of the latter's term.
My informant, who was in South
Carolina recently and mingled
with the members of the Tillman-
Latimer Congressional excursion
party, says there is not the slight
est possibility of defeating Senator
Tillman fer reelection, and at
present there is feeling that
Senator McLaurin did not repre-
sent the views of a majority of
his party when he voted with the
Republicans to ratify the Paris
peace treaty.
There is disposition to reor-
ganize the Democratic lines in
South Carolina and bring back
into the regular organization men
like Gen. Butler, Hampton and
others who have heretofore an.
tagouized the Tillman faction in
the Palmetto State. 1t Is claimed
that Senator Tillman has had
some of the rough edges worn off
of his nature while in the Senate,
and he is less Objectionable to his
former antagonists than he was
few years ago. Gen. Buffers
popularity, together with his
ability, would 60 long way to-
wards rendering him acceptable
to the followers of Tillman.
WHAT WILL MCLAURIN sAY2
1t is safe to assume in advance,
that this statement will create q
large-sized row among the friends
ex-senator McLaurin, who all have
a fondness for Gen. Butler. 1t
is also likely that there will be
some vigorous denials on both
of the propositions. The fact is
the subject was quietly talked
about by friends of Senator Till
man and also by friends of Sena-
tor Butler, while the Congress
sional party was journeying be-
tween Washington and Havana.
Whether the gossiping was done
with the consent of Senator Till
man and Gen. Butler, | am unable
to say, but it stands to reason the
idea did not originate without
some foundation, for the gentle
man who gave me the infor-
nation was q member of the
party. He was not actuated by
malicious motives, but simply re-
lated to me the incident as piece
of interesting political gossip.

Murphy was taken sick and court
adjourned till tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock.
Charleston, S. c., April 13. -
No Que can yet say how strong a
case the defense will be able to
make out, but the government is
certainly drawing powerful
net of direct and circumstantial
evidence about some of the men
who are on trial here for the
lynching of Postmaster Frazier B
Baker at Lake City.
1t is evident that The defense
will be that the deed was done by
unknown parties who came to
Lake City on hol setback the nigkt
of the lynching but in the mean
time witness after witness is be-
ing put up by the government
who all swear that one or more
of the prisoners was implicated in
the crime,
The alleged lynchers have lost
the careless air with which they
went into the trial and are now
anxlously following every step
taken. They prompt their alto r
neys constantly and lean forward
in their seats open mouthed as one
man after another swears that one
or more of them positively helped
to kill Baker.
M. B. Spring, the man who
swore that Stokes told him Baker
was to be killed, was cross -ex
amined today. He stuck to the
story he told yesterday. 1t csme
out that he was member of the
coroner's jury that brought in a
verdict that Baker came to his
death at hands of unknown parties.
The witness explained this by
saying that he was afraid to tell
at Lake City what he knew of the
case as it would have been as
much as his life was worth to do
so.
George Jeffers, a blacksmith,
was sworn. He said he had seen
the fire at the post Office and heard
the firing. His testimony on the
direct examination was merely
corroborative but while being
harrassed by the defence it came
out that Joyner "a defendant had
told him that Mcknight (another
defepdant) had killed Baker. He
left Lake City because he was
afraid to stay there after his
testimony was given.
Henderson Williams, al old,
time darkey, who said he came
near being lynched himself once,
was next sworn. He lived near
Lake City. The firing awoke
him, and he and Henry Burgess
started to the post office. They
met men coming away. They hic
in cotton field. There wer,
seven men with guns. He re
corgnized Moultrie Epps among
them. He left Lake City be
cause threats were made agains
him. 1t was true he swore at tn,
inquest that ne knew nothing o
the affair. He did so because b,
would have been killed had h
told the truth.

the testimony of Williams. Whll
they were hiding in the field h
recognized Alonzo Rogers, Ware

men they saw coming away from

yesterday from Philadelphia and Washing
ton, where he went in the interest of the
Greater America Exposition He secured
from the War department the loan of some
fifty lay figures, showing every kind OF mill
tary uniform that has been in use from the

ent time. There will also be lay figures

ellyn secured the loan Of a large number OF
guns. There will be every kind of gun from
the old flint lock to the Mauser rifle. In ad-
dition to the small arms. there will be a
large number of cannon, including the mod
ern as well as the obsolete guns.
Stopping in Chicago on his way home, Mr..
Llewelryn closed a contract by which the
London museum now in that city will be
brought here and undoubtedly be placed in
one of the viaduct buildings that was occu-
pied as a restaurant last season.
Mr., Llewellyn has received a telegram
from Colonel j. G. Albright, who was con-
nected with the New Mexico exhibit last
year, stating that he has secured the peo-
pie and equipment for a Mexican village.
There will be ten men and women from old

NO NEED TO ALARM TEACHERS
School Board Promises to He More
Conservative Than Ever In
Framing Teachers List.

The much talked Of election OF public school
principals and teachers is scheduled to come
off at the board meeting Monday night
From a reliable source it may be stated that
the alarmist reports of wholesale decapita-
tions will not materialize.
LAS matter OF fact" says a we'll known
man who is close to the inside, "there will
be fewer changes in the teaching force this
year than in amy recent year previously
If you remember only two janitorshir
changes were effected by the present board
while last year there were several times
that many changes. A year ago the kinder
garten force was practically revofutonized
and no small number of principals and teach
ers dropped out. The present board is act.
ing on more conservative lines than any OF
its predecessors and those who have been led
to expect radical action in the makeup OF
the teachers list are doomed to disappoint-
ment"

THE SURGEONS KNIFE

A Better Way Now Discovered Which
Cures Every Form of Piles
without Pain IncOn-

Many people suffer the pain, annoyance
and other serious results from piles for
years, and after trying the many lotions,
salves. ointments and the many so-ca!led

hope OF final cure rather than submit to the
intense pain and danger which a surgical
operation involves.
Happily all this suffering is no Longer
necessary since the discovery OF the Pws-
mid Pile Cure, a remedy which Is approved
by the medical profession as being abso-
iutely safe, free from any trace Of Opiates,
narcotic or mineral posons and which may
be depended upon as a sure cure mot cnly
