Washington, d. c., decided to
try Wine Of Cardui, she made wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day In the year by any woman with
benefit. 1t does not force results, but
corrects arrangements of the menstrual
organs. 1t strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func-
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonic for wo-
men known to the science of medicine.

WHISKY AND PISTOLS.

If there are two subjects concerning
which South Cardinals legislation is
lin advance" of that of any other
state of the Union, those subjects are
whisky and pistols. BY way OF check
Ing the liquor evil South Carolina has
evolved the dispensary system. And
the states anti-pistol laws are some
thing marvellous in their stringency. 1t
is against the law in that state to car
ry concealed on the person. to sell or
to offer for sale, any pistol that is less
than twelve inches long or weighs less
than four pounds!
The dispensary law does not. cam
not, prohibit man from drinking
whisky, Of course, but it is reasonable
TO suppose that those friends OF tenn
perance who set up the dispensary and
have sustained it by their votes in the
Legislature would be found living I'm
to their temperance professions, at
least while in the legislative halls and
committee rooms. But here is what we
find In the stenographic report of the

THE TILLMAN VERDICT.

1t was the expected that happened
in the matter of the verdict in the
case of James H. TIlman, on trial at
Lexington. S. c., charged with having
murdered n. G. Gonzales in Columbia
last January. From the moment the
public caught breath after receipt of
the news of the homicide, and long be-
fore it was known what the defense
would be, there were predictions that
Mr.. Tillman would never be punished.
Gradually the predictions became con-
victions, and nobody expected any
other verdict than that rendered; and
this entirely apart from any evidence
that might be adduced at the trial. 1t
just got into the minds of the people
that no man of the name of Tillman,
related to the senior Senator from the
state and in whose case the Senator
had taken an interest, could be con-
Victed of a crime of violence in South
Carolina. Whether or not there were
good grounds for this belief we do not
undertake to say. but it is a fact that
that feeling prevailed 1t would be an
injustice to the Senator to think or
change the course of justice as admin
istered by the courts.
The verdict, of course. is conclusive
of the whole matter. Twelve men
have declared, on their oaths as 1u-
rors, that they do not believe Mr.. Till
man guilty of any wrong in having
shot Mr.. Gonzales. By inference they
have said they would do the same
thing under similar circumstances;
that if they were public officeholders
and an editor should criticize them in
his newspaper and fight against their
election to high office on the ground
that they were not suited to the trust,
and they should meet him on the
streets with his hands in his overcoat
pockets, they would shoot him, feeling
that they were acting in self-de-
Tense. Since twelve men, good and
true" have given this as their ver-
dict. it will stand, and it should be ac-
cepted in South Carolina with that re-
spect that is due to the legal machin-
cry made and provided in such cases
The trial, as far as we have been
able to ascertain by a close following
of the printed reports of the case, was
fair, and, where the presiding judge
was concerned. impartial. There car
hardly be any we'll based criticism OF
the conduct of the case after it came
to trial. We are free to confess that il
appeared to us that the state had made
a very strong presentation of it's side
which the defense failed to completely
meet and refute. But the defense
proves to have been strong enough tc
satisfy the jury, and that was all that
was necessary.

ROOSEVELT PICKS HIS OPPONENT.

President Roosevelt has recently held
ing Republican politicians of Maryland,
and it has been stated in Washington
that he purposes to interest himself
particularly in the Maryland state cam
paign, in the hope and expectation OF
aiding in the winning of a Republican
victory there next month.
The Maryland Democratic state con-
vention adopted a platform declaring
strongly and directly in favor of a
government by white men. and nomi-
mated Mr.. Warfeld, who has gone into
the campaign as the white mans cam
didate" 1t is said to be President
Roosevelt's desire to compass the de-
feat of Mr. Warfeld for Governor and
thus secure an Endorsement Of his ne
gro policy in the South by Southern
state" Having precipitated the race
question by his appointments in the
South and his entertainment of colored
men at the White House. the Presi-
dent now hopes to have a Southern
state say at the polls that his position
is right. He thinks that a victory in
Maryland for the Republicans would
be rebuke to those who have criti-
cized him and effectually silence them
from further criticisms. And, it must
be admitted, there is some ground for
his looking at the matter in that
light
But there is another and a very large
reason why President Roosevelt would
like to see Republican Governor elect
ed in Maryland this fall-Gorman.
This reason has not yet appeared in
the discussion of the matter, but it
is there. just the same. 1t is very
we'll known that Senator German is at
the head of the Maryland Democracy
Incorporation into the platform of the
plank on white supremacy had Senator
Germans sanction, if. indeed, he did
not direct it. Senator German is
looming up as the Democracy's candi-
date for President, and Col. Roosevelt
no doubt looks upon him as the most
formidable candidate that could be
brought against him. He therefore
proposes to carry the war to German,
picking him as his opponent and send
ing a fleet to sink him while they are
yet at peace"
Should the Republican (Roosevelt's)
candidate, Williams. be elected Gov
ernor over the Democratic (Gorman's)
candidate, Warfield, in a campaign in
volving the question of a white mans
government" it would be regarded by
the President as a notable victory, not
only indorsing his position on the race
matter but weakening his most formid-
able rival at critical time. The Presi-
dent is a strategist. as ex-Secretary
Long has shown us.

examination of Lieut.. Gov. Tillman at
Lexington:
Q. You had a bottle, you say, that
day in your pocket? A. l sent down
the street, Col. Croft, sent old George
down the street, and some members of
the Legislature and myself took a
drink together in the president Of the
Scnate's room. 1 do not recollect
whether they drank all or not, but the
general rule is that they generally
drink 1t all UP when it hits a legisla-
tive crowd; might have been some left
in it and I possibly may have taken it
to the hotel. but I do not recollect.
That is a frank and Illuminating
statement! When a bottle of whisky
hits a legislative crowd" so much
the worse for the bottle. But the
statement of the gentleman who was
president of the Senate is not more in
terestins than the following, from the
examination of Representative Me-
haffey OF Spartanburg:
Q. Where did Mr.. Tillman have that
bottle A. In a back pocket.
q Pants pocket or coat pocket? A
coat rocket.
O. What kind of bottle was it? A.
only saw the neck of it.
.. Was it a flask or what kind of
bottle was it. A. Unfortunately, 1
didn't get to see it.
q. Why unfortunately" A. Be
cause he invited me in, but l didn't
get to accept the invitation.
Q. Was it a long-neck bottle or what?
A. II looked like a kind of private
stock. 1t looked pretty good.
- Although you could only see the
Oe,.k arc Won eVnart enough IN fell
just from a glimpse of it whether it
was pretty good or not? A. Yes, sir;
l think I am pretty good judge.
@. Is that on the theory that all is
pretty good and some a little better.
A. No, sir some is pretty bad.
q. Did that have any tin foil or
screw cap or how was it? A. 1t look
ed like it had been opened; think it
was Just glass.
G. And you say it was sticking out
Of his pocket? A. Yes, sir.
.. How much? A. The neck;
don't know what size bottle it was, it
might have been quart.
-. And you could see that it was not
pistol? A From the way he turned
ABOUND there and his invitation and all
1 judged there was a drink in sight if
I had the time to take it.
=. 1t bore no resemblance to a pis-
toll? A. No, sir; there was no shoot
ing there. Not the kind the other man
received. ! had rather been shot with
that.
So much for the whisky side of the
story, with the incidental remark
that except for the whisky there
migh- have been no tragedy, Mr.. Con-
zales might have been spared to his
great work and Mr.. Tillman might not
have been tried for his life. Now as to
the PISTOL toting: The General Assem-
bly, of which Mr. Tillman was presi-
dent of the Senate was the one that
passed the remarkable twelve-inch-
barrel and four-pound pistol law;
nevertheless Mr.. Tillman testified in
his own behalf that he had borrowed
gun" from a member of the Leg
islature during the campaign, and later
while in Columbia in attendance on
the sessions of the Senate, when his
own weapon had got out of order, he
had borrowed pistols from the head of
the dispensary institution and an en-
ploye of the Senate. Thus it appears
that the habits of whisky drinking and
pistol toting among state officers and
members of the Legislature had much
to do with the lamentable tragedy of
last January.

1t Waa a Joke.

Hes one of these fellers that can't
never see joke said the youth with
the red necktie, according to the Chi
cago Daily News. II sent him an ex-
press package of a brick done up in
sawdust one an he had 60 cents
charges to pay on it. He opened it
at the boarding house where We was
both staying an everybody gave him
the laugh. 1 guess he thought it was
me by the way he looked but he
didn't say nothin' then.
about a week after he went away
an left his room door unlocked an
l got in an 1 mixed up his things
for him-turned all the furniture up
side down. cut the buttons off his
clothes an heaped em up neatly on
his dresser Then I plugged up his
pipe stem with matches and mixed a
little red pepper in his tobacco jar
just to give it flavor you know.
heard him say he liked his tobacco
strong and l thought I'd please him.
Well, sir, he just raised Ned about it
went to the landlady an complained
Then he asked me if I'd done it. as
if it was likely I'd tell him We'll,
says he. I just want to say that if
you Had an I'd caught you at it I'd
have wrung your neck He's a great
big lobster an 1 didn't give him much
back talk, but 1 made up my mind
I'd play another little joke on him an
get even. So one night about a week
ago he brought his best girl an her
mother to take dinner with him. They
was going to the show afterward an
he was dressed up in his glad rags
an l seen his stovepipe hat in the
hall when / come in.
That was plenty good enough for
me. l skinned out to the grocery an
got dimes worth O. flour and comes
back an empties it into his hat Then
| went in to dinner an sat at a table
where / could see 'em when they went
into the hall.
We'll, it worked like a charm. He
picked up the hat an put it on be-
fore he noticed anything, an then
when he jerked it off that flour lust
made him look like a plaster statuette.
Oh, he looked a peach! Even the girl
laughed at him, and he laughed, too
tried to pass it off an let on that he
didn't care
" It'll brush off, he says. We've
got plenty of time, so if you ladies
will just sit down an wait for me
a few minutes Ill go up to my room.
Dicksey, here, will help me, won't you
Dicksey?"
I'D come out into the hall to en-
joy it, an he asked me so pleasant
an sweet 1 didn't like to say no. SO
l went up to his room with him.
The youth with the red necktie
stopped abruptly.
What happened them" asked his
friend.
That's the part of the story
amt telling" said the youth with the
red necktie. He's one of these fell
lerS that can't take a joke"

Joseph was an excellent cook, but
he was not what might be called ar
accomplished literary man, says Londor
Answers. At the same time, he con-
ceived the idea that a cookery book
from his pen would fill a long-felt

perhaps he had made some mistakes
in composition, he submitted the work
to a prominent literary critic, who
promised to go through the work and
correct it where necessary.

Through the failure of the officers of

eXuberance of a poetical temperament
and chivalrous heart, Mr.. Tillman
has been forced to submit to the indig-
nifty of trial for murder. Monday
this trial gave occasion to an affect
ing scene. The defendants counsel was
setting forth the early struggles, the
beautiful character. the sprinb-lamb-
like nature of that much wronged
man. AS Mr.. Tillman heard the tale
OF his own virtues and sorrows, his
tears gushed forth in a freshet. He
wept till his feet were wet. Half the
women in the court room wept Sew
eral Jurymen sobbed. Stern and rug
ged constables blubbered These were
gracious drops. No wonder Mr. Till
man wept. The bravest are the ten

quittal ordered? Mr.. Tlllman shoots
as easily as he weeps. A lovely man,
