TlLLMAN'S VIEWS.
Expresses His Opinions Freely
Concerning the Presidential
Campaign.

Washington, d. g., July 18.-
Senator Tillman passed through
Washington today ON his way to
the meeting of the democratic
committee at Chicago.
He said he did not know what
was the purpose of the meeting or
what subjects would come up for
consideration.
South Carolina, he said, was
still Tor Bryan and would send
that sort of a delegation to the
next democratic national conven>
ton.
On the subject of the general
political situation as respects the
democratic party he said that he
was fully aware that determined
effort was being made by ''some
gold bugs and traitors, assisted by
republicans, and probably with
mark Hanna's money!" to drop
free silver from the democratic
platform. When the convention
meets, he said, there would pro.
badly be very determined fight
made to accomplish this; but he
was confident that it could not
succeed.
He said he thought the demo-
cratic convention would be safely
under the control of Bryan peo-
pie and that the platform of 80
would be readopted with such ad-
ditions as more recent develop.
ments required.
Speaking of the Philippine stu,
alton, he said that it looked to
him as if the administration had
entirely underestimated the diff
culties of the campaign and that
after the big sacrifice of life and
money we were about IN the same
position we were at the outbreak
of hostilities.

IN. Rain, son of Mr. and Mrs H II
Shealey, was accidentally drown
ed in big Saluda river, near Simp-
sons ferry. RAIN, his father
and few others were in the

little distance from the other
parties in deep water with his
clothes and shoes on Thus he
was drowned. His father got to
him before he was drowned to try
and save him, but the young man
seized him and pulled him under
the water time or two, coming
very near drowning him also.
1t was some time before they
could find him and get him out OF
the water and those present anC
the nearest physician did all they
could to bring him back TO life
but to no avail. The young mar
was Is or 10 years of age, anC
was one of the best young men o

FEROCITY OF THE FEUD
FIGHT.
That Kentucky Affair and the Fa.
talities Resulting.

London, KY, July 1S.-To>
days news from Clay county con-
firms last nights report of the
Philpot>Griffith fight, and while
reducing somewhat the number of
fatalities, give details which ems
phasize the ferocity of the con =
tlict. Three men, all of whom
belonged to the Griffin faction,
were killed in yesterdays fight,
three fatally and two seriously
wounded. Messengers from Mans
chester today report the situation
more threatening than ever before,
because of the spread of the feud
to families not hitherto directly
concerned.
Detailed reports of yesterdays S
fight brought here today by mes
sengers from Manchester are to
the effect that early in the morn
ing the Philpots with Ed Fisher,
who is nephew of Gov. Philpot,
started to the woods on a logging
expedition. They we're met by
Deputy Sheriff Wash Tucker, who
served warrant on Robert Phil.
pot. He was taking Philpot's 8
bond when Aaron Morris and the
Griftins, who seemingly had been
following the Philpots, came up
on horseback from by road.
Robert Philpot was signing the
bond, when Morris, taking delib-
crate aim with a Winchester, shot
hi n In the back while he was in a
stuoping posture. Peter Phllpot,
who stood on a wagon nearby,
sent n bullet into Morris head,
tearing off the top of it, but Nor
ris did not fall from his saddle
until two other shots had passed
through his body. The firing
then became general and did not
cease until every man was dead or
wounded, except Peter PhiIpot,
who was not hurt. When it was
ended, Aaron Morris, VIM Grit
fin and Green Griffin were found
to have been killed. Ed Fisher,
Hugh Griffin and Robert Philpot
were fatally wounded, while Alex
Fisher and George Philpot were
suffering from serious injuries.

CHESTER READY FOR VET
ERANS.
The Big State Reunion of Ex-Con
federates Very Close at
Handsome of the
Features.

oN'J .-1I Is uSJ
seven days now before reunion
week and preparations continue
to be made. Committees of all
kinds are at work, and the execu.
tive committee, together with the
bureau of information, are almost
IN daily sessions, putting on fin.
lshing touches, answering num-
berless inquiries and sending out
directions to sub committees.
The John Bratton chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacv.
have completed arrangements for
what promises to be a very de-
lightful reception to the visiting
daughters, sponsors and maids of
honor.
The handsome residence of MIR
and Mrs W H Rosboro, on the
corner of Saluda and Walnut
streets, has been very generously
offered to the chapter. 1t is one
of the largest houses in the CITY,
is elegantly appointed and fur
nished, and each story is surround-
ed with broad airy verandas; be.
sides there is a large lawn covered
with trees, rocks and rustic seats.
Mrs Rosboro and family are sum-
mering in Saluda, n. c., but Mr.
Rosboro has placed his entire do.
main in the hands of the young
ladies, and everything is being
done to make this one of the
most enjoyable functions of the
week. The members of the Jno
K Culp camp, L. S. G. V. will
assist the daughters in every way
possible, and the whole camp will
act as a reception committee dur
ing the week. 1t has been pub
llshed that the sponsors reception
would take place Wednesday

sold companies would come from
Columbia. The names of the
sponsors and maids from Edge
field, Anderson, Yorkville, Rock
Hill, st. Georges, Marion, Oar
lington, Fort Mill and New berry
have been sent in, and it would
add greatly to the convenience of
the committee as we'll as to the
comfort and pleasure Of the young
ladies if all camps would report
the names of the fair representa-
tives at once.
Miss Mary Hood has been
chosen by the WaIker-Gaston
camp as sponsor, and Miss Moul-
tria Buchanan as maid of honor.
Miss Isabel Stringfellow and Miss
Kate Castor will wear the honors
and colors for the Jno X CuIp

the city, and j Hardin Marion
will make a speech in behalf OF
the camp.

His head flew up, his fore hoofs scraped
the planks, and then there was great
splash in the water below.
For few seconds the big Holstein
was entirely lost to sight. while the
waters eddied and surged above the
spot where he had gone down. Then
he rose and turned his curly pate to-
ward the shore, landing in his own pas-
ture, precisely as the Jersey had landed
in the other.
Neither of the animals had suffered
any injury, and the amount of below

up the remainder of the day showed
that both were as sound as ever in lung

A HISTORIC SHOT.
IL Was Made by One Of Morgan'a
Sharpshooters at the Battle
of Saratoga.

Al saratoga, the turning pOlHC OI tnc
American revolution, the marksman-
ship Of Morgan's riflemen virtually de-
cided the battle. Several times during
this engagement Col. Morgan had no
ticed noble-looking officer of the en-
emy, mounted upon a splendid gray
horse, dashing from one end of the line
to the other encouraging his troops.
Morgan recognized the brave fellow as
an officer whose conduct he had ad-
mired in the battle of the 10Th of Sep
tember. 1t was Gen. Fraser, who was
considered by the Americans q more
skillful and dangerous leader than Bur-
goyne, and Morgan himself regarded
the issue of the contest doubtful as
long as Fraser remained in the sad
die. Soon after the action commenced
Gen. Arnold, who well knew Fraser's
ability, sought out Morgan and said:
"That officer upon the gray horse is a
host in himself. He must be disposed
of. Direct the attention of some OF
your sharpshooters to him." Morgan's
generous instincts rebelled, but he saw
the necessity of performing the cruel
duty. WAR" as Macaulay says, ''is
never lenient but where it is wanton.' -
Selecting IL of his best marksmen, he
posted them in a suitable position. and
pointing out the doomed warrior. said
TO his men: s'He is brave fellow, but
he must die" Some of the riilelncn
climbed into trees to get better sight.
Among them was Tim Murphy, re-
nowned scout from Northumberland
county. Pa, who, by means of do,l-
ble-barreled rifle, then a novelty, had
been uncommonly successful in the In
dian wars. The shot was very diff
cult, for the distance was nearly . {.
quarter of mile, and the backwoods
rifles had no elevating sights. rhc
riflemen rested their long pieces ON
the forks of limbs and began firing.
In moment the crupper of the gray
horse was cut by bullet. The next
minute another ball passed through the
horses name. An aide remarked to
Fraser: .'Sir, it is evident that you
are marked out for particular aim
Would it not be prudent for you to re-
tire from this place?" Fraser replied
my duty forbids me to fly from dan.
GER The next instant bullet from
Murphy's rife struck him through the
body, and he was carried mortally
| wounded from the field.-Harper's
