Tillman Returns Home.

Washington correspondence Of the
Charleston Post: Senator Tillman Is
now back at his home in Trenton, S. G.
The senator will probably be in Wash
ington again before the long session Of
congress conveneS in December next.
The present session has been very
trying one to Senator Tillman. He has
been very earnest In securing the pass
age through the senate Of matters Of
interest to the state. and through the
aid Of his colleague, Senator McLaurfn,
in this respect has been very fortunate.
It is true that most Of the matters in
which the senators have been most In
terested have failed, but it has not been
the fault Of the two senators, nor Of
the delegation in the house Of represen-
tatives. Before leaving Washington
Senator Tillman expressed deep regret
over the failure Of the appropriation
for the Charleston exposition, but he
believes that the exposition will be sue
cessful and that the people Of the
state will rise to the occasion. The
senator was also interested in the river
and harbor bill and expressed his regret
at the failure Of that bill. The belief is.
however. that a river and harbor bill
will be passed early in the next con-
gress, and that the appropriations
made In the present bill for South Car
olina will then be included. The sena-
tor will spend sometime at Trenton, S.
c.. in fact will be there the most of the
time between now and the opening Of
the session of congress. AS stated,
however, he will probably make fire.
quent trips to Washington from time
to time, before the opening of the regu-

senator stated that he did not believe
that there would be an extra session of
congress.

TILIMAN TO LECTURE-Senator Till
man has received a fattering offer
from a lyceum bureau to appear for so
nights in so different places and lecture
on any topic he may choose. He Is In
clined to consider the proposition IA
vorably, and there is no doubt OF his
success. Tillman is a man of original
ideas and methods. He has a keen
sense Of humor, a quaint philosophy
which will attract and entertain the
public. It would be difficult, however,
to imagine him delivering set speech.
Like some thoroughbred horses he will
not work to harness, but must have
plenty Of room and a free rein or he
will not run at all. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, except when he loses his
temper, he is an entertaining talker,
but his speeches have always been ex-
temporaneous and he could not stick
to manuscript, even If he had the dispo-
sition to prepare one. His language Is
often uncouth, but that adds to the
force of his address. Even so exact
man as Thomas Jefferson once wrote to
John Adams that it sometimes
strengthened an argument to depart
from the rules Of SyntaX and drop into
the vernacular. He says what he means
in ordinary, every day English, and his
like has never been seen upon the lee
ture platform.-W. E. Curtis in Chtca-
go Record.

number of round bales put up in this
county is put down as 13. Chester coun-
ty produces 21,O45 commercial bales;

State Summer School.
The question of where the state sum-
mer school will be held this year Is
still unsettled, says the Columbia State.
1t is very doubtful about the school re-
turning to Rock Hill this summer.
Spartanburg's chances, from the pres
ent indications, it is said, are better
than those Of any other city. Winthrop
college gave to the summer school for
both the years Of 1899 and 1900 $500, but
this year President Johnson says the
college Is not able to do so on account
Of the improvements on the campus
and the new dormitory. President
Johnson, however, told Superintendent
McMahan that he would give the $500
if Mr. McMahan permitted him to raise
the price of board from $3.50 to $3.50
per month, virtually making the teach
ers pay the $780, Mr.. McMahan refus-
ed this proposition, not on the ground
that that sum was too high for board
and washing, but that the teachers
might object to paying fee under this
guise. Winthrop college and its dor
mitory has every convenience to accom-
modate both ladies and gentlemen. In
fact the facilities the college affords
could hardly be improved upon. How
ever Converse college presents all the
facilities and conveniences that Win
throp affords, and perhaps In several
respects Spartanburg would be little
preferable to Rock Hill this summer.
President Wilson has invited Mr.. Nc
Mahan to bring the school to Converse
college. The board at Converse will be
SIS per month. It is said that the mer-
chants of Spartanburg will contribute
literally to the support of the school If
1t comes to their city. The summer
schools, state and county, have to be
run very economically as the amount
of money for their support is very lin
tied. The state gives $4,000 annually,
and the schools get $500 from the Pea
body fund. Last year these schools
got $1,1OO: for some reason the dona-
ton was decreased by 5000 this year.
Clemson college is also desirous of hav-
ing the state school and has made Mr..
McMahan a very nice proposition, so
just where the summer school will be
held this year is uncertain.
