TILLMAN ON THE DEFENSIVE.
Denies Charges Made by Editor Ap-
pelt of South Carolina.

A dispatch from Manning, S. c., yeSter-
day says:
Senator B. r. Tillman today addressed a
crowd of 800 people here. The editor of
the Clarendon county newspaper Louis A.
Appelt, formerly an enthusiastic follower
of Tillman, but more recently an ardent ad-
vocate of Commercial democracy" and
supporter of Senator McLaurin had for
several months made numerous charges
against Senator Tillman, claiming that he
had received rebates from great whisky
firms dealing with the South Carolina dis
penSary. The charges fell fiat before Till
mans statements and the accuser was
met with a torrent of whitening sarcasm
which reminded some present of Tillman's
fierce campaign of 1880.
Senator Tillman took the opportunity to
announce his views of the status of the
South Carolina democracy and of his rela-
tionS thereto. He paid a warm tribute to
the late Gen. Hampton, declared the abso-
lutte necessity for party solidity in this
state, denounced Senator McLaurinS al
legged detection from the democracy and
suggested that the party exact such pledges
of party fealty from candidates as would
rule out from nomination any so-called
democrats of the McLaurin type. He ac-
knowledged having accepted a frank from
the Western Union Telegraph Company,
which was about the only one of Editor
Appelts charges which was substantiated
AS to his speculations he said that he
held $1,000 in a Texas oil we'll: that it be-
came New Jersey company after he went
into 1t, and that he expected to lose all the
money he had put into it. 1t was a pure
speculation While he liked to speculate.
he never played cards or bet on horse ra ces.
He admitted that he had lost considerable
money in cotton futures, and that today he
owed more money than when he went
% the United States Senate, and that if he
were dishonest man he need never owe a
cent, but could make plenty of money.

Galveston's Great Sea Wall.
From the Mobile Register


When the city of Galveston, Tex, shall
have finished its projected three miles of
sea wall it will have a barrier of cement
and steel along the ocean front five feet
thick at the top and sixteen feet at the
bottom. a safeguard Of stone which will
rise some seventeen feet above mean low
water. or a foot and third above the high
est water of the flood of 1900. The wall
will rest upon piles and be protected from
undermining by shell filling and riprap.
The foundations will be laid a little back
from the usual high-water line and about
three feet above mean low tide. A second
and quite as important a feature of the
project is the filling in of the land back of
the wall for stretch of some 200 feet.
Thirty-five feet of this made level nearest
the wall will be laid with brick so as to
provide a driveway of thirty feet and a
walkway, If the top of the wall be included
of nine feet in width. Next to the drive
way on the bay side of the filling will be a
strip of sixty feet of embankment planted
with Bermuda grass. There are large pos
sibilities of artistic development along the
wall as thus planned, and in their present
temper the citizens of Galveston seem to
be intent upon realizing these possibilities
to the full.
