TILLMAN'S STROKE OF GENIUS.
How to Get McLaurin "IntO "A Boat
and Then Throw Him Out"

and Then Throw Him Out"
Columbia, S. c., May Ex-senator Till
man, who made flying trip to Columbia
last night. and had an interview with
State Chairman Jones. returned to Tren-
ton this afternoon. The Senator is out
spoken for an August campaign, despite
McLaurins protests. There are hints that
he contemplates running McLsurin from
the field or getting a withdrawal of his
resignation, which would in the end cost
him many votes.
Speaking of McLaurin's proposition that
the race for the long term be confined
between himself and Tillman, the senior
Senator said: THAT is illustrative of
McLaurin's conception OF his power and
greatness, and his view of the Office as a
personal possession. l consider my resig-
nation puts me on level with every other
citizen. l have no rights in regard to the
senatorship until the people shall give
them to me. 1 shall welcome as many
antagonists as see fit TO contend for the
place l have voluntarily vacated.
what right has McLaurin 10 ask for fa-
vors at the hands of the Democratic party
of this state, which he has betrayed and
deserted?'
He Tells How II Happened.
Speaking of his action at Gaffney, the
Senator first made the declaration that it
was a "stroke of genius" but he after
wards modified, for public use, that de-
scription of himself. II saw" he said,
that this man would be going up and
down the state with his federal patronage
and unlimited money, with pack OF venal
fellows at his heels, and he would be un-
opposed in his organization. When he
hrrny
could put an end to this-when l could get
him into a boat and throw him out" The
senator promised to ''jab my pitchfork into
his - - inflated carcass"
The People Are Disguised.
Senator Tillman is going to do consid-
erable work IN the state before the open
ing of the campaign. For the first time
in his life he finds himself on the defen'
sive. The people of South Carolina have
not taken kindly to the designations at
Gaffney. The county papers this week OF
all political opinions, are criticiSing the
course Of both men. The people are sick
of these campaigns and are provoked that
one should be forced on the state in such
a manner. They can see nothing to be
gained by It. while the excitement, un
rest. loss of time, and actual loss in dol
lars are all against such course.
80 senator llllhdh' ar hhN hiah'A VI tHN
proposal, finds himself explaining It IN
such a way as to make him appear as
the champion Of the people. desirous OF
checking McLaurin's unopposed progress
through the state, and forcing a battle
before McLaurin's lines were ready
Many people are casting about for some
man who could run for the long term with
Tillman and McLaurin and stand
chance Of winning against both of them
II is very probable that there will be some

II had severe attack Of bilious

Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy, took two doses and was entirely
cured" says Rev. A. A. Power, OF
Emporia, Kan. "My neighbor
across the street was sick for over a
week, had two or three bottles OF
medicine from the doctor. He used
them for three or four days without
relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and
gave him no relief, so discharged
him. I went over to see him the
next morning. He said his bowels
were in terrible fix, that they had
been running off 80 long that it was
almost bloody fux. I asked him if
he had tried Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
be said, NO I went home and
brought him my bottle and gave him
one dose; told him to take another
dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if
he did not find relief, but he took no
more and was entirely cured" For

CoIIeton's Candidate.

Colleton Press and Standard:
The first of the meetings ordered
by the State Democratic executive
committee for the Seventh Congress
sional District took place at Sumter
on yesterday. There are quite a
large number of candidates in the
field and the result will be awaited
with much interest.
Colleton is fortunate in having but
one candidate, most OF the other
counties having two. This gives
Major Howell an advantage in the
contest which will likely count for
much in the result. He will receive,
as he deserves, the hearty and active
support of the Democratic voters OF
this County and will likewise poll a
very heavy vote in Dorchester and
other counties. His past services to
the Democratic party, and the sacri-
fees which he has mades entitle him to
a large measure of favor in this con-
test. When very young man IN
1878 he became the County chairman
of the Democratic party in this
County and for many years thereafter

the claims of the county in the Con-
gressional race and very naturally
has joined in the demand, that we be
accorded recognition for long services
in the harness, and it has occurred to
US that our town has never had q
candidate before the people of Lex
ipeton while at the same time we
have kept on piling up the votes for
our neighbors.
Our worthy townsmsn, Prof. j. B.
Towill, one who has been reared
with US whose prattling feet in his
boyhood and ever since has trod our
native soil, has announced himself a
candidate for the vacancy in the
State Legislature, and while We will
support him Loyalty and ask our
friends to help US, We have the high
est regard for all the gentleman who
NAV be in the race and as Democrats
we, in the end, will support who ever
the people nominate.

High on the hill, in q secluded
spot, with rough stone for senti-
mel lies the great Agassiz as if he
had fallen asleep climbing from the
vale of ignorance and superstition
lust when he had reached a higher
and purer atmosphere OF elemental
truth. The rugged boulder at his
head came from Switzerland and
from the very glacier that had told
him so many secrets from the earth's
past history.
A day or two since it was my
greatly priced privilege to visit Pen
ikese, a small island in Buzzard 8
Bay. Here in the summer of 1873
were gathered under Agassiz's guild
snce few earnest seekers after truth.
Many of these students have since
become famous. The school lasted
only this one year. The death OF
Agassiz in the following December
dissolved the union. The inaccessi-

served the people most faithfully and
tearlessly in that position. His SER
vices at the time to which We have re-
ferred ought never to be forgotten.
White supremacy, which had been
secured as the result of the mighty
struggle Of 1876, was still in jeopardy
and had to be maintained in the face
of dangers and difficulties. But tho
service which be rendered showed
that the white people of the County
had made no mistake in selecting
him to fill so important position.
In 1882 Major Howell, with other
citizens of the County, was indicted
in the United States Court and car
ried to Charleston for trial before
partisan Judge and packed jury.
Who can ever forget those troublous
and exciting times! The recollection
of ell that was suffered and endured
is with US still. The days Of suspense
and trisl, while the result hung
trembling in the balance, made the
heart grow sick. But the end was
finally reached and the last hope OF
the alien and the carpet bagger was
dashed to the ground.
In 1882 Major Howell was elected
to the State Senate and for eight
years he served our people faithfully
and efficiently in that important
Office. He was elected member Of
the Constitutional Convention of 1895
and rendered valuable service in that
distinguished body. Since his re-
tirement from the Constitutional Con-
vention be has not been candidate
for any Office until now. What the
result of this contest is going to be
we cannot say, but We hope and be-
lie7e that he will win. We do not
intend to disparage the claims Of any
one of his competitors, but We feel no
hesitation in saying that there is no
candidate in the field more deserving
of the ofice, nor is there any who
would render more efficient and faith
full service.
In conclusion, we call upon our
people to 60 out to the polls on elec-
ton day and vote for him as one maD,
thus testifying our appreciation OF
his past service and our good will for
man who has spent his life among
us and has shown himself worthy OF
confidence and support.

Love Finds a Way.

The odd circumstance of q widow
being refused marriage license be-
cause she was too young to wed is
reported from Cincinnati. The law
in Ohio fixes the age of consent at
II years. The widow, who came
from Kentucky, had been married
there at l6, and her husband had
died within few weeks. When John
Koch came along and soothed her
lacerated heart and persuaded her
that another husband would be the
best thing under the circumstances,
she was still little short of II, and
the clerk in Ohio refused the license.
However, the pair crossed the river
into Kentucky, where the bride to-be
wasn't too young and they were mar
ried.

To the Democratic Voters of Lexing.
ton County.

1t is very seldom that I have any
thing to cay in newspapers but l
deem it quite necessary to say few
words in favor of Lexington's most
gifted young son, Hon. A. Frank
Lever.
Friends, if you will consider this
question in the proper light, you will
soon reach the conclusion that this is
not alone Mr.. Levers fight, but your
fight as we'll. If he is elected to
Congress, will not that be an honor
to Lexington county? will not that be
an honor to the Dutch Fork? will it
not be an honor to every man that
casts his ballot in this election? will
you cut him down, politically, in bis
youth when be promises to shed
honor and luster for Lexington
county?
Does not South Carolina feel proud
of her great statesmen who began
their career in early manhood, and
if she had killed them politically, in
their youth, could South Carolinians
of today read ther Dames with the
satisfaction that they now do? Yes,
when Northern gentleman quotes
Daniel Webster to US for his great
ness, we return to them the names of
Calhoun, Judge O'Neal and Wade
Hampton. Who knows but what
Lexington county has man that
will shed as much honor on his
country as John G. Calhoun or
Daniel Webster, if the people will
only give him chance. There can
be no opposition to Mr.. Lever on
account of his record or ability for
no man in Lexington county will tell
you that Lexington has an ADLER
young man than Mr.. Lever. I ven
ture to say, he is better fitted for
Congress than great msny that are
now there, fifty years old and even
older. Lexington county now has
the opportunity of electipg a Cong
ressman and honoring one of the
brainiest young men that she has
produced for a number of years, and
who, if sent to Congress, will make
Lexington county's name famous
with his own.
Now, friends, in conclusion, let US
lay aside our little prejudices if any
and roll up the largest majority for
Mr.. Lever ever given candidate in
Lexington county. Democrat.
