A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr.. Brock is digniied old
gentleman, showing few signs of de-
crepitude. His family Bible is still pre-
served, and it shows that the date Of his
birth was written ia years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
BILE old gentleman, who has had ia
years of experience to draw from, would
be interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Tines-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
moro pretentious biography Of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with
double column portrait, was given the
readers Of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December IL, 1898, and also the
Chicago-Times Herald Of same date.

Columbis has granted the franchise
prayed for by the Lexington and
Columbia Electric Railway Compsny,
but there are certain conditions at
tached thereto which makes it oner-
Gus aud q hardship. It ia a conceded
fact that the building of this road
will benefit Columbia in every respect
mors than it will Lexington and the
reason for tscking on the conditions
is not apparent. This road will un.
doubtedly carry to Columbia a large
volume of trade which the city does
not now enjoy nor never will without
the building of this road and the
city fathers, in consulting the inter
ests Of Columbia, should certainly
have acted with greater degree of
liberality toward this enterprise than
they have done.

The Legislature.

But little business, none whatever
of importance, has been done by the
Legislature since our last report.
The two houses have been in session
and that is about all that has been
accomplished. In justice to the
members we state that it is we'll
nigh impossible for the law makers
to settle down to real hard work
until after the Inauguration OF the
new Governor and all the elections
have been disposed Of. The reasons
why this is the case are obvious.
Now, that these matters have been
disposed Of with the exception OF
the election of Representative Lati-
mer as United States Senator, to
succeed Senator John L. McLaurin.
the people may reasonably expect
that both branches of the General
Assembly will be flooded with bills
of more or less importance.
Monday being General Lees birth
day and in nearly all the southern
states, South Carolina included, has
been made legal holiday, the Leg
islature adjourned and by invitation
spent the day at Rock Hill in body,
as the guest of Winthrop College.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was named
for the election of officers fixed by
the constitution to be made by the
Legislature.
The first election was for Chief
Justice to succeed the late Chief
Justice McIver, Associate Justice
Pope, having resigned, was placed iu
nomination and was unanimously
elected. This necessitates the cleo
ton of an Associate Justice in the
place of Mr.. Pope.
Capt D. J. Griffith was unani-
mously reelected Superintendent OF
the penitentiary, receiving every vote
except one.
Messrs. Mobley, Sanders and Row
land wera reelected members of the
Board of Penitentiary Directors.
This completed the elections for
the day and the joint session was
dissolved.
Governer-elect Hayward was ir-
angurated today.

Wednesday, January 2l, 1903.

Renewed interest has been awak-
ened iu certain sections of the county
in the movement to build a free
bridge across the Congaree river at
some convenient point. So much in
terest has lately been manifested in
this sut ject, both in this county and
in Columbis, that it will undoubtedly
become an important issue in politics
at no recent date. Those favoriDg
the free bridge argue that by reason
of Columbia being their principal
market it is essential to their bust
ness interests that there shall be
free and uninterrupted Intercourse
between the two places The agita-
tion has assumed such widespread
interest in a large portion of the
county, especially 80 since the talk
of building the electric railwav has
given an impetus to the free b'iage
movement, that its advocates should
be given an opportunity to make
known their wishes in regard to this
matter. We would, therefore, sug-
gest to those interested that they pre-
pare a graduated system of taxation
for the townships of Hollow Greek,
Lexington, Congaree, Sandy Run.
Bull Swamp, Boiling Springs and
perhaps portions of few others on
basis of one-third of the cost of con-
structiop, with the understanding that
the electric railway people assumes
one-third and the City of Columbia
the remainding one third of the cost
of building the bridge. Then have
the Legislature to pass an act sub
mitting the proposition to the people
within the territory named above for
adoption or rejection. This PROPOSE
tion is nothing but fair to those who
want the bridge and if they are will
ing to tax themselves to build it they
should certainly be given an oppor-
tunity to do so. Uoder this govern
mens, where the msiority rules, no
one will be injured if the suggestion
is adopted as nearly every one resid-
ing within the territory above describ-
ed uses the bridge more or less the
year round and by freeing the bridge
q considerable sum will be saved in
tolls alone to the people of this
county.

THE OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
Tells How He Escaped the Terror
Many Winters by Using Pe-ru-na.

This centenarian is an ardent friend or
Peruna, having used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr.. Brock says:
"After man has lived in the world
as long as have, he ought to have
found out a great many things by ex-
perience. I think I have done so.
"One of the things Ihave found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of
the climate. For ia years / have
wifhstood the changeabie climate
of the United States.
"I have always been q very healthy
man, but Of course subject to the little
affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temperature.
During my long life I have known
great many remedies for coughs, colds
and diarrhea.
GAS for DR.. Hartman's remedy
Peruna, Ihave found it to be the
BEST, if not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health
and extreme old age to this REM
edy.
cit exactly meets all my require
ments. It protects me from the evil
effects Of sudden changes; it keeps me
in good appetite; it gives me strength;
it keeps my blood in good circulation.
I have come to rely upon it almost en-
tirely for the many little things for
which I need medicine.
"When epidemics of Ia grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country was a sufferer from this dis
case.
81 had several long sieges with
the grip. At first / did not know
that Peruna was q remedy for
this disease. When I heard that
la grippe was epidemic catarrh, 1
tried Peruna for la grippe and
found it to be just the thing"
Yours truly,

A deplorable tragedy occurred in
Columbia last Thursday-one that
shocked the State from centre to cir
cumference. On that day about 2
o'clock while Editor N. G. Gonzales,
of the State, was on his way home to
dinner from his Office, he was met
by Lieutenant Governor Tillmap,
who was coming from the State house,
at the corner of Main and Gervais sts.
It is alleged that when Tillman met
Gonzales, he fred without word OF
warning, the ball entering Gonzales
side just above the lower right vest
pocket, passing through his liver, cut
ting his intestines in three different
places and coming out below and be-
hind the left vest pocket. Tillmsn
raised his arm to fire again but for
some reason failed to do 90 and drop
ped his hand to his side. Gonzales
staged against the walls of the
street railway transfer station, and
was caught by some friends who as
sisted him to the State Office and
subsequently, he was removed to the
Columbia Hospital where an operation
was performed. A second operation
was performed Saturday night and
Monday about 1 o'clock the lamp Of
life was extinguished by the darkness
of death. A brilliant career has
been untimely ended. Gonzales is
said to have been unarmed. The
greatest tribute that can be paid to
his memory is that be was true to
his convictions, fearless in the per-
formance of his duty as a journalist,
as he saw it, and faithful to his
friends.
After shooting Gonzales, Tillmsn,
walked to the middle of the street,
toward the police headquarters, where
he was arrested and taken to the sta
tion. He was then searched and q
magazine pistol, of German make,
with an empty cartridge and large
Colts revolver were found on his per-
SOD. A short while after be was
transferred to the county Jail where
he is now confined. He has declined
to make statement except that
the published accounts of the un-
fortunate affair are untrue.
While the result of the meeting
between Tillman and Gonzales was
not unexpected to many of those
who have keep up with the datsiIs
which led up to the shooting, notwith
standing it was 50 sudden as to send
q thrill of horror all over the State.
Since the entrance of Tillman into
State politics he has been the object
of severe criticism and Tillman
would have been less Of man had
he not resented them.
