jim Tillman Did
not FAKE Good
Failed to Refute Charge of Fal
styling Senate Record.
Crowd Was Dissatisfied
Special to Charleston Post.

Donnalds, June Ia. There
were two thousand people here to,
day to hear the speeches from the
candidates for Governor, Senator
and Congressman Col. Talbert
Capt. Hayward, DR.. Zimmerman.
Hon. NJ +. Anscl of Greenvllle
and Col TiIlman were the speak
ers for Governor.
There was much interest i'm the
appearance of Capt. Hayward as
yet anopice in matters political.
He made a good impression here
nod many here are wearing the
HeyWRfd buttons,
There Vas u great deal of ihter,
est in Col. Tillman'o promise to
answer the charges of The State
(newspaper). He did not give
the names of any subscribers
of the sword fund and apparently
forgetting that he had alleged that
he had insulted Roosevelt at the
instance of the subscribers to the
fund he claimed that be is glad
that he himself withdrew the in
vitation to Roosevelt to present
the sword to Micah Jenkins.
The charge made by The State
in regard to falsifying the records
was to the effect that Jim Tillman
spread upon the journal of the
Senate Il statement that the two
best parliamentarians in the coun-
try had sustained him and that he
created the impression that these
two parliamentarians were Frye
and Henderson. Instead of re,
futlng this charge he adroitly
showed that The State had omitted
subsequent statement from him
to the effect that he had received
telegram showing thut the par
lismen'arians disrgred among
themselves.
The main charge was not denied.
He produced no evidence that any
parliamentariau had supported
HIM. He shielded himself bv
saying that he was attacked by a
man who is an Ishmaelite who lust
week ago stigmatlzed Rev. L. O.
Watson, an eminent divine, with
having told Il faisehood and that
this editor had attacked the Meth
odlst conference. He was not
surprised then a the nature of the
attack on himself.
Trilman's speech was adroit
bat it did not satisfy those who.
are acquainted with the circum-
stances.

5000 and 5000 shares dealt in. from 55s 10 T.

figure. There considerable firmness shown in
road issues were fraction of. The copper shares
were firm. especially Greene Consolidated which
became strong and active in the late trading, adj
vancing 5l2 points selling to 29l4; but at the
close reacted 215 points. Electric Vehicle issues

fore the close. Virginia Iron. Coal and Coke issues

close. Standard OIL sold at $40. United Copper
