 one of the women.
 "We can't do anything, replied the brakeman. "We's got to stay here till q snow blow can get us out, and that may be twenty four hours from now"
 This calamity produced q silence that Was thick enough to cut with d kuife. Then one of the travel ing meE arose with the remark that he had a few things to say that woule much better be said outside.
 The idea f spending the night on the bleak prairie without sup per or breakfast was enough to daze every passenger.
 Wonder what them kid's i'll do?" whispered the brakeman.
 But this query was answered when the tired mother opened a basket and began dealing out a lunch to the little girls.
 'Mamma, when will we get home?' asked the oldest,
 Not tonight, dear"
 "Won t we see papa tonigbt?"
 "No, dear. We'll have to stay here in the car tonight, and we'll not see papa until morning"
 ''But what will Santa Claus do if we don't get tbere ?"
 ''Perhaps Santa will wait for us" said the mother. We must not think about him, dears, until We get to papa.
 One of the women went forward and talked to the mother for Il few minutes, and apparently learn- ed part of the famiIy's bistory. At any rate she told the clergy man that the mother and children were from Ohio, and that they were on their way to Chadron, where the father had gone nearly a year before % take up a home stead.
 The children ate their lunch, played while iG the car aisle, and then began to grow sleepy.
 Mamma, can't Santa Claus find us here on the train ?" asked the oldest.
 ''lm afraid not, dear"
 But can't he try, mamma?'
 "I'm afraid he'll look fol us where papa is. ,"
 But can't we hang our stock ings up here sos if he comes he'll know it's us?"
 sYes, but I'm afraid he'll not find them, dears. ,
 But the httle ones insisted, and two little stockings were securely pinned to the rack overhead, and two little heads were soon pillow ed on the velvet cushions.
 About 9 o'clock the cattlemen came dropping back, havlng been warned that the coal supply was low and not sufficient to keep two stoves going for any great length of time. As they came in one hrawny man happened to see the stockings and he stepped in sur piIse. He didn' say word, but pointed to them and smiled. The men gathered in the rear of the compartment and talked in sub dued whispers. Finally one of the travelling men went forward and talked to the mother, and when he came back he told a story full of pathos, It was the old story of man striving to make a home on the frontier and encount- ering even more than one mans share of hardships. But he had managed to get enough money to send for hls family.
 ''Them kids has got to have d Christmas P calculated one of the cattlemen.
 That's what - said another.
 And then there was some schem- ing. One of the travelling men represented grocery house ana Ee happened to have few sam pies of confectionery. These went into tho pot Aaother fished up couple If pairs of

the State could get its supplies
on credit.
He insisted that the State get

and full measure. He wanted as
good liquor as could be gotten
for the price and mixed a barrel
of cologne spirits with a barrel of
two-stamp liquor. One Of these
grades bore no rebates, as he re-
membered, and the two were
mixed and averaged up about
$1.35 and was the best kind of
liquor. The State gave no note
or other evidence Of debt, and he
thought it fair for this credit and
the averaging of prices that the
State waive its rebates. 1t got
none and that has been known
all along. There was no use to
get rebates what was wanted
was the liquor and as cheap as
possible.
What hurt him was that this
charge was not openly made, like
brave man would have made it.
NO REBATE WAS EXPECTED.
No rebate was expected. He
kept a close watch on the Mill
Greek Company and it always
dealt fairly with him and the
State. Without this credit the
dispensary would have persisted
for lack of supplies. The only
reason they charge that rebates
were gotten was because a dis
honest man could have gotten
them. They thereby confess, he
supposed, that they would have
taken them.
After winding up on the first
rebate question he said DO
you want all these questions
answered ?"
Appelt: 81 don't think it is
necessary"
Senator Tillman $50 even

Senator Tillman then took up
the Penitentiary matters, and in
brief he said that the sworn state
mentS in the Stevenson peniten
tiary report answered every
charge.
AS to the cotton seed meal
Mr.. c. Fitzsimmons, manager,
testified that he did not consider
the State in any way liable for
the amount. The meal was
bought by Col. Neal so as to get
the benefit Of a wholesale order,
and he paid for it when he got
the bill straight, and the State
was never asked TO pay it,

Then he took up the vegetable
matter, and added that he was
not only going to shave this ass,
but he was going to skin him.
He explained that not over five
bushels of tomatoes and potatoes
had been sent him that they
would have gone to waste in Col
umbia that he never saw the
vegetables himself, and the whole
matter had been looked into and
were not worth 500.
He presented the full report in
the MiXSOn investigation and
showed that it was not there
charged that he ever got any re-
bates. Last session, at his sug.
gesGon, a resolution was offered
looking to an investigation, but
it failed.
AS to the refusal of the Mill
Greek company in showing its
books he knew nothing. He was
not surprised if it was so, because
the company had been shabbily
treated after it had sold the dis
pensary when it had nothing.
AS to holding stock in the
Sabine Oil and Marketing Com
pany, he had a right to DO so.
The insinuation was that he
bought it with money he stole.
A friend of his, Mr.. Lockwood,
from Pennsylvania, went to Beau
mont and wrote him that he had
a good thing, and thinking that
he had been in the oil business
all his life he might make some
thing, he accepted Mr.. Lockwood's
offer and sent him 81 200 for a
twenty-fourth interest. Lock
wood was an oil man and had
always fought the Standard Oil
Company. He always would
gamble a little, never at cards or
races, and this was a pure specu-
lation, and he was afraid the
Texas oil craze had made him
lose 1900. He had lost money
in cotton futures and was not
aSham I to tell it. Congress has
nothing, 10 do with a Texas Oil
company. After he went in the
company made him a director
and organized in New Jersey,
that was all. He had nothing 10
do with Texas oil company, ex.
cept to lose money or possibly
make some.
He then took up the dead head
frank stamp on The telegram and
explained that the law did not
prevent its use outside the State,
and that hn was not to be bought
with three dollars worth Of tele.
graph courtesies. Every Senator
and Congressman received such
a courtesy. At first he thought
the act did not apply to federal
officers, but was shown that it
did by Mr.. Applet.
TIE BURRIS BOOMERANG.
AS to his ordering or asking
Mr.. Burris not to open any ac.
counts against him he read a let
ter from Mr.. Burris, dated April
2l, 1901, in which he says:

own about 1000 acres Of land in
Edgefield and Greenwood and
some he got in Florida in 1867,
but all of his land except his
home place he inherited or got
before he went into public life.
He owed $4,000 when in the
governors office and paid off
about half of it, but since he had
been in Washington ne had spent
a good deal in living or otherwise
and had lost in cotton futures
and he was about $4,000 or $1O,-
600 III debt today and he guessed
be would die in debt. lie said
he was simple sinner and not
one to cry or hurrah.
Mr.. Appelt said he never charg-
ed TiIlman with stealing.
Then he explained about his
son, B. r. Tillman, Jr, being his
private secretary; told how he
selected him and that he was in
Washington studying law. Not
only was Mr.. Appelt not satisfied
with dragging in the men, but he
dragged in his daughter. He
explained how she went to a
house party in Erie, Pa. II
daughter taught music in Georgia
for eight months and made about
5000 and with this money she
went to 9.ffaly and stopped off
at Erie t. visit friends, and yet
Appelt had to drag her into the
matter.
In closing. he said that if the
people voted for Appel under
the circumstances it would be a
virtual condemnation OF himself
Tillman.
AppELT BOBS UP SERENELY.
Senator Appelt said he felt
very much gratified at his eight
castigatiOn." Tillman had made
a mastery argument and, as he
had said, time and again, he was
going to stand by the party. He
had never received a dollar from
McLaurin and every speech he
published of McLaurin was legit.
innate. Only today he had replied
to Mr.. Sims and asked him TO
publish Tillman's speech on the
Outsides that he used.
AS for himself, he had no taint
of Republicanism, and his whole
fight was to keep the Democratic
party as it now is. McLaurin,
he felt, would have too much
pride to run as gratuity. He's
a white man and a good man and
there is 10 use 10 rub it in. He
would only vote for McLaurin as
a Democrat. AS newspaper
man he used the columns of his
paper as he thought fairly and
published matter sent to him.
He tried never to be unfair.
AS to the penitentiary report,
he had never read the report of
the committee. The Times pub
lished that it had certain evidence
and it has produced it. 1t has
not lied on anyone. The Times
said it had certificates and it has

From Michaelsville.

MICHAELSvILLE, Nov. 1.-The season
for shooting is now open and the woods
and fields arc full of men, boys. dogs and
guns, as we'll as rabbits and other game,
but go where you will you are confronted
by notices on the fences and trees warn
ing all persons to keep off under penalty
of the law. They call this protecting
game, but at the same time these land
owners will allow their tenants to keep Il
lot of worthless ours around them that
are prowling not only on their own
farms, but are running over the entire
ncighborhood day and night the whole
season through. They not only kill
thousands of young rabbits but also de-
strov partridge nests. In this section it
would do your eyes good to see one
partridge let alone a bunch. Posting
farms against trespassers will not pro-
tcct the game unless the worthless dogs
are destroyed.
The ladies of Garrettson Chapel are
much gratihed over the results of their
oyster supper, which was held in the
Michaelsville Town Hall last Saturday
night and they desire to thank the public
for the liberal patronage.
Turkeys roosting on the top ofbuildings

pull and knock off all of the shingles and
Jim Sank will have to tell the people how
to keep them OFF, for, as is we'll known,
he is endowed with much brains. There
are many things that go to destruction
on the farm just for a little forcthought
and management. Now about keeping
turkeys off of the roof. The modus
operandi is very simple. All that is
necessary to he done to remedy the evil
is to stand an upright board four inches
wide on each gable end of the building.
Make it good and strong and stretch a
piece of hay wire from one of these up,
right boards to the other, just high
enough for the fowls not to get under and
YOU can bet they cannot roost on top oi
it; consequently they will have to STOP

In Memoriam.

The funeral of Mrs. Mary L. Webster
who died on Tuesday, October IS, 1902,
took place on Friday, October 81, from
her home in Darlington, Maryland.
Mrs. Webster was the second daughter
of the late Henry Cromwell Williams, OF
Anne Arundel county, Md, who traced
his descent directly from Henry Cromwell,
brother OF Oliver, the Protector. She
was born December Z, 1924, at the old
Williams homestead i'll the third district
of Anne Arundel county. In 1915 she
became the wife of Isaac Lee Webster, of
the historical Hartford family of that
name. Of her six children, b-t two sur
vive her, Joshua w. Webster, OF New York,
and Mrs. William B. Selie, of Darlington
With the latter Mrs. Webster made her
home for the last eighteen years.
During the years spent in this town
Mrs. Webster was identified with the Nj.
E. Church and continued her work in the
Sunday School long after the time when,
by reason of her age, she might have re-
signed her position as teacher, had not
the work been dear to her. She was es-
teemed by all and loved by many.
Her funeral services were conducted by
Rev. E. Edwards, of Darlington NJ L.
Church, assisted by Rev. w. ". kimball,
of Grace Memorial p. E. Church The
choir of Grace Church rendered the selcc-
ton from its service known as the Nunc
Dimittis, beginning with the words
Lord, now lettest thou Thy servant de-
part in peace" Miss Martha Amoss, as
soloist, sang with tender pathos appro-
pirate stanzas from the Gospel hymn,
when The Curtains Are Lifted" both
choirs joining in the chorus. The pail
bearers were Messrs. Frank l.. and James
w. Hancock, of Anne Arundel county,
nephews of the deceased; Messrs. E. NJ.
Allen, David E. Thomas, Henry E. Selfe
and Joseph Andrew, all of Darlington.
Interment was in Darlington Cemetery.
