A few years ago it was said that many OF
Tillman's coat-tail swingers were from
the country, but now it seems a good
many of them hail from the towns and
that they are former conservatives. The
reason of their great change is that they
want office, and they are of the opinion
that now they can slyly get strong grip
on the Senator's coat-tails which will
land them into a political job. But they
will hardly fool Benjamin. He will be
sly enough to use them for his own pur-
poses and at the same time see to it that
his true and tried followers are elected to
Office. And we don't blame him. These
latter day converts or friends disgust one
by their actions, and Tillman we'll knows
how much faith to put in their protesta,

greatly interested in a state prison
case. A young farmer was charged
with having driven off ten out Of a
flock Of twelve sheep and sold them to
a butcher. He put up a fair defense,
but was convicted and sentenced to a
term of three years.
''There were plenty Of people who be-
lieved that he was perfectly innocent,
and even the butcher who bought the
sheep came in time to doubt if he had
identified the right party. After the case
had stirred up whole county took a
hand in it. In my petition to the gov
ernor I had the evidence Of the young
mans father, mother and sweetheart,
and 1 got eight Of the jurors to sign it.
I made out such good case that the
governor took it under advisement and
finally agreed to Issue a pardon. In
speaking to me Of the case he said:
"'There Is no sort Of doubt in my
mind that this was case Of mistaken
identity, and 1 shall be only too glad to
restore the young nan to liberty
"It became my pleasant duty to drive
seven miles over the muddiest Of roads
to bear the news to the parents that q
pardon was to be issued. The old man
was under the weather and in bed in a
room eff the parlor. The wife received
me and sobbed over the good news and
then went in to break it to her hus-
band. That partition wall was thin,
and they both spoke in loud tones, and
Iplainly heard her say:

High-Priced Service.

The death of the famous Paris restaura-
teur, Bignon, recalls some stories of inter
est. He was among the first to see that
the enormously high-priced cafes had
seen their day and, selling the famous
house in the avenue to the opera, he re-
tired into private life. An amusing story
of his revenge is told. One night after
an opera ball gay party trooped in and
presisted in being served by Bignon him.

he got up and threw the traditional ser
viette of the waiter across his arm. When
the bill was sent up there was a grief
that could have been photographed among
the party. At the end of a financially
much spiced note appeared: "For being
served by Bignon, 1000 francs" He got
the money after many protests and hand
ed it over to charity.

The Charleston Exposition closed last
Saturday night, and we sincerely hope
that the hard work and sacrifices of the
promoters of the enterprise will not be
without substantial results, both to that
city and the whole State. The show was
admirably planned, and that it was
carried out successfully in the face of ad-
verse circumstances is matter OF sur
prise, and to those who by their efforts
brought success where failure seemed
probable, we extend sincere congratu-
lations. A considerable amount Of money
has been spent on the Exposition, and
we trust that some of it will come back
in the way of indirect benefits. If the
benefit derived is at all commensurate
with the amount of money and energy
expended, the city of Charleston and the
entire State of South Carolina will take
long strides forward in the next few years.

A worthy man, who was very sensitive
and retiring, having lost his wife, private
ly requested that he might be remembered
in the ministers morning prayer from the
pulpit, but asked that his name might not
be mentioned.
On Sunday morning the good minister
prayed most eloquently for "our aged
brother, upon whom the heavy hand of
sore aftliction has so lately fallen"
At this point an elderly man, whom the
minister had married to very young wife
during the week, rose with bounce and
stamped down the aisle, muttering loud
enough to be heard all over the chapel:

if I want to be prayed for in that fashion" "
