Tillman Va. Richards.

Not because we felt that anything
that Senator Tillman could say would
make it incumbent on us; but in order
to remove all possible doubt from the
record. THE ENQUIRER has been to con-
considerable trouble in trying to es-
tablish the exact facts about that COL
lection at the Liberty Hill picnic on
July %.
Notwithstanding Senator Tillman's
denial that he was offered money, the
report of our representative, who went
down to Heath Spring, to investigate
the matter last Saturday, shows that
money was really offered him. The re-
port also shows that the money was
really raised by collectors, who So
licited it on the ground that it was to
be used in payment of Tillman's ex-
penses in accordance with previous
promise. And whether or not there
was really a previous bargain in the
matter, the people on the picnic grounds
certainly had good reason for so think
ing.
Now, while the information procur-
ed at Heath Springs. and on the train,
was conclusive enough for all practi-
cal purposes, had the Lancaster En-
terprise, of last Saturday, been at hand
before the trip was undertaken, that
trip would not have been made. The
letter Of Captain John G. Richards
would have been sufficient without any
more testimony. In his interview with
the Columbia State, Senator Tillman
had stated that the whole thing was
a dirty lie and that no money had been
offered him. The statement Of Captain
Richards is directly to the contrary. 1t
bears out other testimony that was Sc
cured by our representative, and there
fore, it must be true.
Had it not been for the letter of Cap
tain Richards, Senator Tillman would
have been able to dismiss all the 9TH
er testimony procured as another dirty
lie: but in view Of the fact that the is
sue Is now directly between Richards
and himself, both will be quite willing
to let the matter drop. Either this, or
they will have to branch off on other
lines not germane to the issue.

Editor, over this selection of instruct

Pardon, Mr.. Editor; l suppose that it

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
Rock HILL, August 12.-Since :the
crop condition has changed so mate
riaily for the better, the topic OF dis
cussion now Is the fight Of the TIlman
aggregation against little Curly Head
ed Johnnie" There are not few who
think that the campaign OF McLaurin
vii, be mace on account of the appar-
ent fact that the outs are swarming to
get in Ills snug place. There is no dis
Iguisingthe fact that the rabid element,
who c re Still swinging" are all against
Johnny; but there is another element
| who are doing their own thinking and
will do their own, voting. The political
atmosphere Is clearing and bossism Is
declining.
Good showers today were very much
welcomed. Cotton Is good and becom-
ing better every day. Your correspond
ent notices the published statement
that Columbia mill has contracted for
one thousand bales of the new crop OF
cotton to be delivered in October and
November, tor which the mill Is to pay
less than eight cents. This Is straw
which shows that the manufacturers Of
cotton expect to control the situation.
Mrs. w. r. Kerr is lying hopeless!y-
sick In this city. Her parents, DR.. and
Mrs. ]. H. Witherspoon, are with her.
1t is understood that her trouble: Is
blood poison after premature child
birth. So
The ''old mill"-I forget it's last name
will begin operations with the new
cotton crop. The company has recent
| ly. put in an automatic sprinkler sys-
TEN, as well as much new machinery.
The Presbyterian congregation In
this city, seems to have gotten togeth-
er. At the meeting, Sunday last, the
members resolved unanimously to ex-
tend call to Rev. N. L. Anderson. of
Montgomery, Ala. The salary of Mr..

to secure him. Mr.. Anderson, I under
stand, was raised in York county.
| AGentleman in town from Bethel town. .
ship, last week, said there are at least
300 bales of last years cotton crop still
on hands, holding for 10 cents. 1t Is
doubtful II the owners will live long
enough to see cotton sell at that price
again. The area is not only being
greatly increased each year, but the
| farmers are learning, where they grew
a bale on three acres few years ago,
to produce a bale to the acre now.
This Is not the case generally, Of
course. but 1t Is true to a very large ex-
tent. Such an opportune time as. the
| growers had last fall for the sale Of
their cotton, may hereafter be expected
to return but seldom during the life
time of any farmer.
The Witherspoon mansion, in this
city, so lonely and deserted-like for so
many months, is being put in readiness
for the reception Of the queenly bride
Of Mr.. Crawford Witherspoon, who will
return from his wedding tour during
the present week. This old home is a
thing Of beauty. with its wealth Of
magnificent shade and the luxuriance
Of its blue grass lawn.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutions. remedies
Deafness Is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when 1t Is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-

THE charge Of Hon. John Gary Evans
to the effect that people who support
ed McLaurin in 1897 were traitors, is
almost as interesting as Mr.. Evans's
practical admission that Mr.. McLau-
rims politics have undergone no change
since that time. There are good rea-
sons, of course, why Mr.. Latimer may
have repented Of his "heresy;" but in
the case of the balance Of us who have
no political aspirations, the same rea-
sons do not apply.

FROM what was said and done at
Chester, it is quite evident that it is
the purpose Of Senator Tillman and
lieutenants to try to get rid of Sena-
tor McLaurin by appealing to the mob
spirit. Senator Tillman now says he
wants McLaurin to go into the pri-
mary. but claims that the junior sem
ator will not dare do such a thing.
