TiIman On the Stick Up Floor.

The great possibilities OF Senator
Tillman are seemingly boundless and
without limit. Just when things
have about settled down to normal
conditions the Senator does or says
some things that sets the tongue OF
the gossiper agog with talklelative to
the latest sensation If the astuse
statesman.
Just think of "Old Bel" ioinirg
the boys and maideps fair in an old
time country break down du ing
the commencement exercises at
Clemson. in his address he said to
the graduating class that there was
no harm in tripping the light fantastic
toe where there was not so much
waltziag and round dancing. Ac-
cordingly on Monday night, while IN
his best mood, a lady hantered him
for a ''square dance" Having never
met with defeat and determined not
to ssback out" he shucked off his linen
duster, threw his old wool hat in q
corner, and with his hickory stripped
shirt, nankeen "britches" held up by
one eallus made out of a strip OF
bedticking and fastened to Georgia
buttons, he led his charming and
fascinating psrdner to the ''head" on
the floor and while the orchestra
struck up the "Lopg Georgia Road"
his sonorous voice called: sail hands"
out for a cotillion. Then the fun be
gan in earnest. The voice of the
gay Senator could be heard calling
out: call hands round" grand right
and left" "bslance pardDers, Swing
corners" and other we'll known fig
ures in the familiar dance, and then
giving way to the excitement of the
moment he grssped his pardner and
swung her around like he would a
grain cradle in full field OF ripe
oats, and then away they went prom
enading and back again, ladies in the
centre, all hands round, making :he
basket, etc. He was the admiration
of all and his card was soon filled
with engagements. Well, when you
come to think, Uncle Ben is re-
markable man and is good at any
thing be undertakes, and you can
call on him in any emergency and
she's thar"

During the past week Senator
Tillman has made addresses before
the literary societies of two colleges.
The first being Newberry College
and the last being Clemson College.
In the delivery of both Of these ad-
dresses Senator Tillman sustained
his reputation as finished orator, a
ripe scholar and a deep thinker.
Both his addresses were master
pieces Of literature and were replete
with wholesome advice and a pro-
fundity of thought rearly heard
these days. We regret that We find
it impossible to reproduce them in
our columns. We give, however, a
brief synopsis of his speech at
Clemson.

A young man named King, while
riding along highway in Anderson
county, was overtaken by thunder
storm. Instead of seeking shelter
until the storm had passed as he
should have done, he made the fool.
ish mistake of pursuing his journey,
the consequence was that both he
and his horse were Instantly killed
by being struck by thunderbolt.
Most people are entirely too careless
in exposing themselves and animals
during an electrical storm and often
times put themselves in jeopardy.
Wisdom and precaution would sug-
gest, it seems to us, that when
persons are overtaken in the open air
by thunder shower that they seek
the first available shelter at hand
and thus greatly decrease the chances
of being struck.
