A gentleman who has a Christian
spirit and horse for sale advertises
as follows in Minnesota paper:
We have good family driving
horse for sale, providing you carry
insurance.
He is not over. particular as to
feed. In fact. he prefers our neigh

own.
We feed him whenever we can
catch him, which is seldom.
Ho is partly gentle. The other
parts are not, and you must govern
yourself accordingly.
We will throw in the derrici: and

ment has como and gono. Wcdnes-
day and Thursday wore big days
for Nowborry. There wcre seven
companies that contested for tho
prizes in the horse hose wagon con
test and six in the hand reel contest.
Although ali Of thoso contestants
could not carry away the prizes they
all did excellent and every feature
was worked as smooth as could be
expected and we be!iavo that every
firemen is glad thai he had the op-
portunity to visit Nowberry and we
are suro that Nowberrians were hap.
py to hayo tho fro laddles with
them.
Wednesday was beautiful day
and tho track over which tho horse
hose wagon contest was pulled off
was in excellcnt condition. These
races were very exciting and tho
crowds Of spectators who lined tho
side walks and filled tho grand stand
and covered the tops of neighboring
buildings were all moro than repaid
for their waiting. These races with
the horse hose wagons woro some
thing now for Nowborry, and horse
hose wagon is thing that Nowborry
is very much in need of. The entire
program was we'll carried out and
those who wero in charge deserve
much credit for their efforts.
The races that were set for Thurs.
day were pulled off in regular order
and all the teams did we'll. The rain
that began to fall about 10 o'clock
left the track in bad condition, in
fact it was so slippery that tho boys
could hardly make the runs.
The hand reel races, the grab race,
the shoe fly race, individual foot
race, sack race and whoelbarrow race
were all pulled off Thursday. The
crowd to witness these WAS larger
than on the day before.
The West End Brass Band fur
nished excellent music for the entire
occasion.
The exercises at the opera house
were we'll attended by both ladies
and gentlemen and we give below
those who spoke and thoir speeches
in full:

MCSWEENEY STRIKES.

Following is copy Of the letter
sent to Senator Tillman by Governor
MoSweeney:
Sir: Your letter Of Juno 1st has
beon received. I have carefully
noted it's contents, and the most
charitable view which I can take Of
it is that it was written in the hoat
Of passion and without due consider
alton.
I note that you say that I have
"transcended" my authority and that
the governor "cannot compel a mem-
ber of tho United State senate to
hold his commission and exercise the
functions of that Office if he chooses
to surrender it," and that you ode

cline for tho present to withdraw"
your resignation.
Had you read carefully my letter
addressed to you and to Senator Nc.
Laurin, you must have seen that i
did not express any desire to "com-
pei q member of tho United States
Senate to hold his commission and
exercise the functions of that Office"
if he chose to surrender it. My sole
purpose in returning the designations
was to ask you gontlomen to consider
calmly and thoughtfully tho conse-
quences to the people of what l
judged to be hasty act, and what
you admit to have been hasty
act, and | must confess that l am
somewhat surprised at tho tone of
your answer to my request.
[ consider the course which took
in this matter to be for the best in
terests Of the people of South Caro-.
lima, and l am responsible to them
alone for my action. And, further
more, still believe that my course
has met the approval of majority
Of tho citizens of tho State, nor do l
consider them "unthinking citizens,"
but men who know and recognize as
fully as any people on earth the
rights and duties and responsibilities
ofcitizenship and who do not need tho
services of any ono to tell them their
duty.
Your insinuation that have been
"importuned" to "await the convon.
lence' Of any present or would be as
pirants who care not just yet ready
for various reasons to enter the con.
test brought on 30 unexpectedly" and
that for this reason my action has
taken the direction it has, is un-
worthy of man holding the high
commission which has been given you
by the people of South Carolina, and
deserves no notice in this connection.
However, I may say for your benefit
that I alone am responsible for my
reply and will give account for tho
course I have taken to the people
have honored me and not to any one
individual.
In this matter have done what I
thought best calculated to promote
the present prosperity and content
mont of the people Of my State, and
shall continue to do 80 regardless of
what any one man may say or think
OF my course. did not think that a
political campaign this summer could
do any good However, had the
designations been unconditional and
unrestricted, my action might have
been otherwise.
With due respect for your opinion,
L think / have as high conception
of the office of senator and it's
powers" rs you or any other citizen
of this State, and you must have
known that the brief interview to
which you refer meant that 1 would
simply meet the responsibility and
perform my duty under the condi-
tions.
If you still wish to resign your
commission and will send to this
Office an unconditional resignation, I
will exercise the authority and power
vested in mo by the people.
Respectfully, -

THE LETTERS THAT
PASS IN THE MAILS.
TILLMAN WITHDRAWS HIS REsIGNA-
TON, PROTESTING.
Gov. MrSweenoy Created II Stir--He Wrote
An Opou Letter to Senator Tillmnn in
Which He Gives Som> STIFF Jabs
THE State, Juno 81

l.
Yesterday closed tho chapter in
the senatorial incident. Senator
Tillman sent a characteristic letter
to the governor, withdrawing his
resignation eff it be lawful to do So"
This letter had not been received by
the governor yesterday afternoon,
but Senator Tillman gave it to the
press with the statement that he had
right to do SO if tho governor has
right to give out official communica-
tions before they reach the parties
to whom they are directed.
Gov. McSweeney wrote letter to
Senator Tillman which created
little breeze in political circles. This
latter had not been received by Son
ator Tillman last night. The gov
ernor hits back at the senator for the
letter's caustic letter criticislng the
action Of the governor IN returning
Ine TeslSnaClOns.
TILLMANs LAST.
Senator Tillman writing from
Trenton, June 5, says to the gov
ernor:
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt of your
telegram in which you say, II under
stand Senator McLaurin's letter to
be withdrawal of his reslgnation,"
and [ have read that worthy's COM
municatlon in which he graciously
consents at your request "to hold on
to his commission as United States
senator and continue toserve the State
rs he has done in the past to the best
of his ability"
This leaves me one of threo alter
natives. TO appeal to the Demo
cratic executive committee to take
the matter up and determine what
the best interest of the party re-
quires to be done, to appeal to the
senate itself to determine the quos-
tion as to whether a resignation from
that body, to take effect at some
future time is binding, or withdraw
my own resignation. There are no
precedents on this subject because in
the hundred and twenty five years of
our national life, with more than 200
designations from the senate, no
senator has hitherto been willing to
occupy the despicable attitude now
assumed by Senator McLaurin, and
forced on mo. I am certain of one
thing, that the executive of a State
has no authority to decline resigna-
tion that has been rendered, and I
am equally certain that had your ex-
cellenoy confined your action within
legal bounds that your appointees
would be seated in the senate when
that body meets in December, and
hold their seats until the Legislature
should act in January. My chief
regret is that L am forced by your
action to engage in what the outside
world will consider game of opera
bouffe, by withdrawing my own
resignation after Senator McLaurin's
undignified and puerile action; but
the purpose for which it was tendered
has been thwarted by Senator Nc
neutrality-suspicious. acceptance of
executive advice. But Acres has
been outdone for once. AS l have
already said I had no motive or pur-
pose in resigning except to force
McLaurin's, and there is nothing for
mo to do but accept the situation
and withdraw my own resignation, if
it be lawful to do so.
Yours respectfully,
B. r. Tillman.
