Tiliman is Robbed and Fired Out.
The following appeared in last Fridays

The following appeared in last Fridays
press dispatches from Chicago:
United States Senator Tillman, Of
South Carolina, is reported to be lost
somewhere between Kansas City and
Chicago.
He was booked for apartments in the
Auditorium Hotel and a number of poll
ticians, who are gathered there for con-
ference, are anxiOusly awaiting his COM
ing. He is reported to have left train,
having failed to find his transportation
or cash, and so far as can be learned from
railroad officials, he is at way station
awaiting a remittance.
Senator Tillman is said to have found,
when asked on the train for his ticket,
that his pockets had been picked and that
he had nothing on his person to identify
him to the conductor.
The trainmen telegraphed for instruc-
tions but the Chicago officials had no
means of determining whether or not
the passenger was an imposter, and
instructed the conductor to use his
judgment.
The train has since reached Chicago
and the conductor has vanished. Senator
Tillman has failed to appear either at the
Auditorium or any other hotel.
There is story going around among
Chicago railroad men that the conductor
did not know Senator Tillman and
elected him from the train, and that the
Senator is stranded. kilograms sent
along the line have failed to locate him.
At midnight prominent railroad Off
cials were sending kilograms broadcast
making inquiries for the lost senator.
Saturdays dispatches brought the fol-
lowing from St. Louis:
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South
Carolina, arrived in the city last night
from Shelbyyille, Illinois, where he deliv.
cred an address before the Lithia Springs
Chausauqua, departing to-day for Kansas.
Immediately upon arriving here the
senator notified the various railroads,
express and telegraph companies of the
loss of his wallet filled with passes and
franks.
The Senator was 10th to admit that he
had been touched" but his wallet had
disappeared.
He rather resented the suggestion that
he had been robbed, stating that his
wallet must have fallen out of his pocket
and doubted the ability of pickpocket
to touch him.
When asked if it was not something 6
unusual for him to accept railroad passes
and corporation franks, Senator Tillman
said: "How can help accepting them
They stick to me till naturally I have to
take them. They don't influence my vote
or talk 1t is different down in our country
from what it is up here. You have not
heard of anybody being bought with
thousand dollar bills down our way,
have you?"
The natural inference is that bills of a
smaller denomination would be ample
compensation-even a railroad pass on
some jerkwater railroad.
The Senator is so intensely in earnest
in his war against corporation influence,
that he failed to see the humOr their
passes put to his remarks.

THE BOY JOHN WESLEY.
No Evidence Of Any Precociousness
n0uaInnrn0nf

No Evidence Of Any PrecOciousness
In HIS Religious Development.
OF the nineteen children born to Sam
uel and Susanna Wesley only ten sur
vived the period Of infancy, and Of
these only three were sons. John was
thirteen years younger than Samuel
and six years older than Charles. OF
his early boyhood only one incident Is
recorded. On February night in 1903
the rectory was burned. The family,
hurrying out in terror, left the boy
John sleeping in his attic chamber, and
he was taken out through window
only an instant before the blazing roof
fell in upon his bed. Wesley always
retained q vivid recollection Of the
scene, and more than half century
later, when, thinking himself near
death, he composed his epitaph, he de-
scribes himself as "a brand plucked
from the burning"
His mother deemed his rescue prov
idential indication that her son was
preserved for some great work and re-
solved, as she says, Ito be more partic-
uIarly careful of the soul Of this child
that Thou hast 80 mercifully provided
for" There is, however, no evidence
Of anything precocious in the religious
development of the boy, but only GER
tain staid, overdeliberateness which he
got from his mother, but which to the
more mercurial temperament Of the Ia
ther seemed in q lad not yet in his teens
half amusing and half vexatous.

wife, II profess I think our boy Jack

give a reason for it"-C. T. Winchester

Readiness In Excuse.

General Alexander Mcdowell NC
Cook had q story illustrative OF readi-
ness in excuse which he used to tell oc-
casionally. Some raw troops were
drawn up for their first battle. They
were on marshy ground, under fire, and
ankle deep in slush. One Of the SOL
diers was noticed to be trembling ex-
cessively, and his fear might communi-
cate itself to his comrades. An officer
approached him.
"Here, you. what are you trembling
forY demanded the officer. "Stop It, or
you'll demoralize the company. You
are in. no more danger than any one
else. Don't be afraid"
I'LL am not-t-t a-a-afratd," chatter
ed the soldier. 'T-I-1 had the ague last
year, and-and standing still In this
m-m-mud so long has b-b-brought It on
aga-again. W-w-wouldn't it-t-t be a
g-g-good idea to r-r-run a ht-little and
get warmed up"

And Senator Tillman has been found
out West with his pockets full of railroad
passes, telegraph franks, ETC., just like
any other "bocdle" Senator. And yet
some people still think is honest in his
mouthings about trusts and corporations

No sensible person needs any better
proof of corruption in the State dispen-
sary machine than the simple fact of so
many fellows wanting the job as member
of the State board of directors. This
place pays $4OO year, and yet some men
spend three or four times this sum trying
to get it. These dispensary editors who
are continuous apologizers for the system
always yell out specify" and yet they
know well enough that no man wants the
position of State dispensary director for
the honor there is in it, The dispensary
system is in worse repute now among our
people generally than at any time since
it's institution, and seems to be growing
worse.

The Value Of q Vacation.

A vacation pays as much from the
standpoint of character as from any other
point of view. Just as 'every man is a
rascal when he is SICK" so the best-in-
tentioned man in the world may be a
brute when he is worn out physically,
and working and planning, or trying to
do SO, with tagged, weary brain. The
brutal qualities in mans nature come to
the surface when he has drained his
vitality to the dregs. He loses his self
control and his passions get the better of
him. He does things which in his soul
he condemns, and says things for which
he afterwards hates himself, and all be-
cause he lacks physical stamina. The
long strain of the year has made him SO
irritable and exacting that the merest
trife upsets him. He goes all to pieces
over little things which he would not
even notice if he were in good bodily
condition

Awful Crime in COlletoR.

WATERFORD, Aug. S.-Yesterday be-
tween 12 and O'Clock one of the most
brutal crimes ever known in this county
was committed at Church Flat, about
two miles from Rantowles station, on the
Atlantic Coast Line railroad. Lizzie
Aiken, negro woman about 40 years
old, killed two of her children by cutting
their heads off with an axe. One Of the
children was years old and the other 8.
1t is said their heads were severed COM
pletely from the body, not nerve or
vein or anything left to connect them.
The body of the older child was cut in
other places, showing that the crazed
mother met with some resistance in
killing this one. Both children were
giyls.
It seems that an effort was made to
burn them after the bloody work of the
axe, for fire had been kindled around
the body of the younger child.
The woman was committed to jail this
morning by Thos. Fields, constable for
Magistrate Behling, and from what he
ssys the woman must have been crazy.
He says she claimed that q dog came
along and told her the world would be
destroyed unless she killed them in order
to save the world She admitted the
killing to Magistrate Behling, but now
denies it most strenuously.
Philip Ramsey was convicted few
days ago of the murder of Chas. Bryant,
and was sentenced by Judge Watts to
hang on the 25th day of September next.
The testimony showed that he shot
Bryant without any cause or provocation.
Ramsey is negro boy about IS or 10
years of age and is strong and muscular.
He does not seem to have much intelli-
gence. and when the sentence of death
was pronounced he showed no emotion
whatever.
This makes two convictions for murder
without recommendation to mercy in
Colleton within the last six months. The
other was that of r. A. Adams, white
man. convicted for killing Henry Jaques
in February last. His execution was
stayed ON account of an appeal taken to
the supreme court.

on the lodges Of the sixteenth story

hung to their straps and washed and
polished the glass they could look into

Ninety-nine of every one hundred dis.
eases that children have are due to diso'-

are all caused by indigestion. Kodol

LYNCH LAW.
II May Have Taken It's Name From a
Mayor OF Galway.

II MAY Have Taken It's Name From a
Mayor OF Galway.
About the year 1900 one James F1tz-
stephens Lynch was mayor Of the town
Of Galway, In Ireland. He had sent his
son on a trading expedition to Spain
with a good cargo and large sum OF
money. The young man returned with
a ship load Of valuable commodities.
which he reported as having been pur-
chased with the money and with the
proceeds Of the outgoing cargo. After
some time q Spaniard came along. de-
manding payment from the mayor for
the goods he alleged had been bought
on credit by his son. The mayor dc
clined payment, as his son averred he
had paid in cash for the goods. Unfor-
tunately for the latter, sailor who
had been one Of the crew on eXalscIa-
ton by Mayor Lynch declared that his
unworthy son had spent In reckless
debauchery not only the money intrust-
ed to him, but the proceeds Of the
cargo as we'll; that he had then bought
goods from large flrm on credit. and
that when one Of the partners OF the
firm came down to the ship before sail
ing to receive the money young Lynch
murdered the man and had him thrown
overheard to conceal the facts from
his father.
The young man was Immediately ar
rested and brought before his father,
who, notwithstanding the fearful en-
treaties Of his wife and daughters, SEN
fenced him to death. He took him up
stairs in his warehouse, adjusted q
rope around his neck, having first Sc
cured it inside, and then pushed the
young man out Of the window. where
his dying struggles were witnessed by
the inhabitants Of the town Of Galway.
In the town records this entry Is yet
to be seen:
james Lynch, mayor Of Galway,
hanged his own son out Of the window
for defrauding and killing strangers,
without martial or common law, to
show q good example to posterity."
It may be from that incident that
lynch law took its name. 1t is not a Pc
culiar American institution, as Is COM
monty supposed. but has been practiced
in other countries. The English had a
walled town in Devonshire Of the name
Of Lydford, which became noted fof
the summary punishmen,s inflicted on
notorious offenders. They became pro-
verbal in England as Lydford law,
and it is not impossible that lynch may
be q corruption of Lydford. In Scotland
it was known as "Jedburgh justice"
James Lynch, a justice Of the peace
in one Of the Piedmont counties in Vir'
ginia, whose methods were both sum
mary and severe, is also credited with
having given his name to this ohhand
and expeditions mode Of dealing with
criminals now generally known as
lynch law.-Pittsburg Gazette.
