Tillman to Fight McLaur;n.

A SAhsshWsA w nS - y "AS~s sse sses
A Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun says:
The end of the bitter and sensa.
tional fight between Senators Bepjar.
min r. Tillman and John L. McLau-
rim, of South Caroline, is not yet.
Senator Tillman says he will oppose
on the floor of the senate his COL
leagues appointment to the United
States court of claims bench. He.
Furthermore says be will not confne
his opposition to the executive ses-
sion, but that he intends to say in
open senate, and say plainly, why his
colleague should not be confirmed as
a Judge.
Mr.. Tillman says he proposes to
place in the Record all the allegations
that have been made charging Sena-
tor McLaurin with betraying bis
party, and in addition to his own per-
sonal criticism and his own reasons
for denying McLaurin's confirmation
for a lifelong position.
Friends of both senators now say
that should Tillman carry out his
threats it would only serve to renew
the bitterness Of tie fight which last
winter resulted in hand to hand
encounter on the floor of the senate
while in session. On this account
the president has been urged to give
Senator McLaurin some position out
side the Judiciary, for Tillman has
told his friends that he would not
carry his opposition to an appoint.
ment that was not to the bench.
The president is said to be consid-
ering this view of the situation and
some other appointment is not i'm
possible. With the Democratic op-
position against Senator McLaurin,
it was said today that there is grave
doubt if be could be confirmed as q
Judge Of the court of claims.

Varieties Of the Kiss.

It is asserted by an Austrian savant
that there are three kinds of kisses,
the freundschaflich heliklaschender
Herzenkuys the afectionate, clear
ringing kiss coming from an acoustic
point Of view, which occupies middle
place in the scale, and finally the
third variety, the ekelhafter Schmatz,
or the loathsome smack. This cata-
logue, however, seems to be far from

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Replying to Mr.. Cannon;s letter of
10th, wish to say that I have as
much love for the truth as he has,
and have no desire whatever TO mis-.
represent it. Here are the facts from
which / drew the conclusion: A
young man went off from the barbe-
cue at full gallop, saying before he
went that be was going to the Dis
pensary for whiskey. He came back
after awhile and he with his 3rtners
soon began to show signs of whiskey.
He said be was going to the Dispen-
sary for whiskey. His friends said
after he left that he was gone to the
Dispensary for whiskey; they got
whiskey and of course I drew the
conclusion that they got it where
they said they were going to get it.
The thing smelled very much like
rat to me. OF course, since Mr..
Cannon says they did not get it from
him, I cheerfully withdraw the
charges and think more of him for
obeying the law.
Mr.. Editor I'm looking for that
preacher now against whome charges
we're made - the same letter.
Have no idea I'll hear from him
though.
The recent good rains have very
much improved the crops and the
farmers are not 80 blue.
Mr.. Sam Derrick is in love with all
the world now and looks as merry as
new money. The reason is, Miss
Derrick is only one week old and
looks just like her Pa.
Everybody is in close touch with
the politician these days.

Makes all the world akin"

Where does the niger come in?
The Sunday school convention of

with Samaria church on Friday be-
fore the 4th Sunday in this month.
Let all the Sunday schools send up a
good representation.
Capt. D. J. Griffith was in town
one day this week. We are always
glad to see the Captain.
The r. F. D. No. 2, from Lewie-
dale is painfully slow in msterializ-

waiting applicants. I imagine they
feel over the matter very much like
the candidates.

The Man Who is Ahead.

There is the man behind the counter
and the man behind the gun, the man be-
hind the buzz saw and the man behind
his son; the man behind the times and the
man behind.his rents, the man behind the
ploughshares and the man behind the
fence; and the man behind the whistle
and the man behind the bars, and the man
behind the kodak and the man behind the
cars; the man behind his whiskers and
the man behind his fist, and everything
behind a thing is entered on the list. But
they have skipped another fellow of whom
nothing has been said-the fellow who
is even or just little ahead: who always
pays for what he gets and whose bill is
always signed-he is blamed sight more
important than the man who is behind.
All we newspaper people and merchants
and the whole commercial clan are in
debted for our existence to this honest,
noble man. He keeps US all in business
and his town is never dead-and so you
take your hat off to the man who is ahead.

News from the Citadel.

The CITADEL, CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct.
Con last Wednesday at noon the Cita-
del began her 45th session, and it is graft
flying to the graduates and friends of this
famous and old historical institution to
know that, perhaps, never before has
there been finer opening and brighter
prospects for the coming year. When
Sergeant Condor, the oldest living veteran
of the U. S. army-one of four wars
sounded the assembly" and roll call was
over, it was found that only five cadets
were not there to answer "here"
Senior 1st Lieutenant Julian H. Collins,
now at the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
Senior 1st Sergeant Jas. w. Riley, of
Bamberg, now at West Point, and Cadet
GroeSchcl have received honorable dis
charges, while Cadet Roberts is away ON
sick furlough, and Cadet Still |. has been
granted permit to retire"
The recruits began to arrive Wednes-
day and matriculated Thursday. They
are gathered together from all parts of
the State and from several of the adjoin-
ing States. Georgia, Florida, North Caro-
lima, and West Virginia are well repre-
sented. Regular lectures began Thurs
day morning and the battalion of old
cadets ard recruits went to drilling Friday
evening. The recruits will be instructed
in squads by non-commissioned officers
under the surveillance of the commits
stoned officers. They are taught the
simpler movements in the school Of the
soldier first and gradually acquire a
knowledge in the more complicated
schools of the company and battalion.
Until the army officer detailed by the
war department arrives, Capt. Cantey will
act as commandant. 1t is rlmored that
we are soon to be equipped with the
krag-Iorgensen rifle and are to receive
battery of modern guns and photographs.
The old Springtields now in use are out
of date and keeps the cadets little behind
the times. The building has been repaint-
ed and is now one of the most attractive
places in the city.
Visitors are received by some member
of the guard and will be glad to show
them over the building with its many
beautiful tablets, to the memory of her
fallen heroes, the old cannon known as
"Bloody Mary" used in the Mexican war,
the famous old powder magazine and
other things of interest. G.
