Mr. -Tillman said his newspaper
friends always took great pains to
quote anything he had said that was
hot" leaving out everything that
was rational. decent and sane in their
pursuit OF sensations, and in this re-
spect great wrong had ;,een done
him. a lie" he said, never had
anv particular truth and he would
not attempt to make even start to
run down those that have been told
on him.
Mr.. 'rillman said he did not want
to see the African driven to The wall,
and he did not want to shut the door
of hope in his face, but he could not
consent to the dominance Of that peo-
pie over the whites. He then pOked
fun at Mr.. Hanna and read the title
Of the bill he recently introduced to
pension eX-SlaveS. :Oh. my Cod"
said he, did Mr.. Hanna mean that
or is it political dodge?" The effect
of the bill was, he declared. TO give
opportunity to INSCRIPTIONS negroes
to bambo4Zle and deceive their people
by securing subscriptions ostenSibiy to
further the interests of the DILL. He
concluded by saying that In proper
tion as you arouse false hope in the
minds of these people you are only
sowing the wind which will flame up
into a whirlwin0 later on
Mr.. Tillman spoke for three hours.
He was followed by Mr.. Carmack Of
Tennessee, who said the action Of the
president in the Indianola case was
not in accordance with reason, justice
or the constitution.

Things to Forget.

II you would increase your hap
piness and prolong your life forget
your neighbors faults. Forget the
SANDER you have heard. Forget the
temptation. Forget the faulthnd-
ing and give little thought to
the cause which provoked it. For
get the peculiarities Of your friends
and only remember the good points
which make you fond Of them. For
get all personal quarrels or histories
you may have heard by accident, and
which if repeated would seem a thous-
and times worse than they are. Blot
out as far as possible all the disagree
ables of life; they will come, but they
will grow larger when you remember
them, and the constant thought OF the
acts Of meanness are worse still,
malice, will only tend to make you
more familiar with them. Obliterate
everything disagreeable from yester-
day, start out with clean sheet for
today, and write upon it for sweet
memory's sake only those things which
are lovely and lovable.

Opposed BY Fanatics.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond TimeS-Dispatch tells
his paper that tremendous oppoSi-
tion is developing TO the proposition
to place u statue CT General Lee IN
Statuary Hall. Republican members
Of congress, from States Of the north
and west are being overwhelmed with
protests. These come from Grand
Army OF the Republic organizations
and from individuals \ member told
me he had 60 !tea that sentiment
against the proposition was so strong.
Ohio. indiana, Illinois. Kansas. Iowa
and one or two Of TIE Ncw England
States seem most strongly opposed.
Sentiment against it is not nearly SO
strong in New England as would be
supposed. New York is paying no
attention t. the matter, and but few
protests have come up from Penusyl-
vania

Wiped Out the Family.

Earl Wood, the il year old son Of a
prominent farmer seven miles west Of
Frankfort, Ind, Tuesday evening
murdered his father, shot and fatally
wounded his mother and sister and
then committed suicide. The mo-
tive for the boys bloody crime is not
known. After the shooting the young
man went to the home Of neighbor
and said that robbers had entered his
home and killed his father, mother
and sister and that he escaped after
a running battle with the desperadoes.
He apparently was greatly excited
and said he was organizing posse to
pursue his fathers slayers. He stop
ped at another house and told the
same story. When he was questioned
concerning the shooting be became
confused and resented the inquisitiye-
ness OF the man to whom be told the
story. He started away and disap-
peared behind barn, when shot
was heard. An investigation discov-
cred the youthful murdered dying
with bullet through his breast.

FERTILIZER TAG TAX
Is Greatly Increased This Year Over
Last Year

The Columbia State says there has
been remarkable squirt in the re-
ceipts Of tag tax" or fertilizer tax.
Up to the lst Of March the receipts
will be $4,000 more than for the
same period last year, or gain Of so
per cent. Whether this stride will
keep up or not cannot be foretold.
There are three possible causes for
the heavy purchases Of fertilizers. One
is that the farmers are making their
purchases earlier than usual because
money does not appear to be as tight
this year as is customary. Another is
that the acreage in crops requiring
fertilizers will be materially increased,
and another possible reason is that the
fertilizers will be used more intensive
ly or more thoroughly.
1t may be that this rush Of orders
will soon be over and that the sales Of
the entire year will aggregate little
more than in other years, but the
amount Of tax received so far is a rec
ord breaker and there are two months
yet before the sales of fertilizers for
the year will practically be over.
A comparative table of the sales in
different years might be of interest at
this time. The receipts to date in
1903 are SCI, ,99155; same time last
year $40, ,630.55, and for the year be-
fore S57,69I.63. Following are the
totals for the several years since the
Inauguration of the tag tax system:
