into the Populist party, he really had
no such intention, and that 1t was ne
that held the Democracy of the state
in line, and kept them from leaving the
party. Many people do not believe this.
If it is true. Senator Tillman does not
get the credit that Is due him. If not
true, the claim Is slander upon the
people. Now, since Mr.. Magill is IN
the settling business, we suggest that
he send out to every Democrat in the
state-all varieties of Democrats-a cir
cular letter like this-including a polite
introduction and return postage: did
Senator Tillman hold you in line, and
would you have gone into the Populist
party had 1t not been for his influence
Would you have followed him into the
Populist party If he had gone him
self?" Besides settling this question in
the same way that Senator Tilman
himself suggested settling the question
of his influence on members Of the exc
cutive committee in this McLaurin res
olution matter, the answers would be
exceedingly lnteTeStllS.

Ledger, August "a: Mrs. J. M. Rid
die is visiting her daughter, Mrs. r. j.
Mackorell, at Yorkville.. ......At the
home of the bride, at this place. on
Wednesday afternoon at o'clock, Miss
Ida Hood was married to Mr.. w. D.
Gamble, of Wildwood, Fla. The cere-
mony, which was performed by Rev.
Chalmers Fraser, was witnessed by a
few of the near relatives and friends.
The bride is the second daughter of the
late S. G. M. Hood, and Is most ex-
cellent young lady, highly esteemed
and very popular. The groom is a
prosperous young businessman Of Flor
ida and is to be congratulated on win
ming the hand of so estimable young
lady. After the marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gamble left for the Buffalo exposition,
going by way Of Washington. They
will spend their honeymoon in the
northern cities, stopping over here sew
eral days on their return before going
to their home in Florida. "A few short
years ago and H. ]. Hickson was the
ideal Of robust young manhood. But
while his friends admired the hand
some face the manly form, and almost
envied him the glow of health in his
cheeks and the seeming long and use
full life before him, little did they dream
that so soon the relentless angel of
Death, with it's icy touch, would lay
low this noble young man. For months
he has suffered from cancer Of the ton
que, and it will be remembered that he
was recently operated on at the Johns
Hopkins hospital and large part OF
the tongue removed. After some weeks
spent there he came home and he and
his many friends were frightened and
cheered up with hopes that the cancer
would not return, but, alas, their hopes
soon vanished and 1t became too ap-
parent that the inevitable was at hand.
Only a week ago it became the painful
duty of his stepfather, Sheriff Jno. P.
Hunter, to tell him the result Of con-
sultation of the physicians, viz: that a
return to Johns Hopkins was useless
and that his recovery could no longer
be hoped for. Taking two handsome
rings from his finger he requested that
they be given to his sister, and from
that time calmly he awaited the final
moment, which came at IL o'clock on
Thursday, and his pure spirit slipped
away into the great beyond. Henry
Jackson Hickson was the oldest son of
the late H. J. and Laura Fraser Hick-
son, and was about 40 years Of age.
CLEVELAND.
Kings Mountain Democrat: The Ell
bethel people are now laying down the
material for building the parsonage In
the plat of ground recently purchased
from H. J. Allison, near the church.
They will rush the work through.
Misses Mary and Louise Dobson, of
Yorkville, spent the past week here VS.
iting relatives and spent a very pleas
ant time. :. Mrs. Ruth Hall and child
rem, Of Rock Hill, have spent the
summer with her parents here. Mr..
G. C. Ormand, of Bethel neighborhood,
in York county, was in this section last
week hiring teams and drivers for rail-
road work in Georgia, where he has a
contract for grading. Many of our
contemporaries stated In their last
weeks issue that Mr.. S. S. Wier had
been appointed as postmaster at this
place, vice Captain Brown, removed;
but from the best information we can
get this news Is "too previous" Mr..
Wier has received no notice Of his ap-
pointment, which we presume he would
do as soon as made. Certainly If 1t had
been made on the Sth he would have
known it before now. We are of the
opinion that the appointment still
hangs before the authorities.
