SENATOR TILLMAN FOUND.


There has been profound fear lest
Senator Tillman, when elected from
the train between Danville and Chi
cage, has been lyrched while making
his way over the cross-ties. Happily
this fear is set at rost by the unex-
pected appearance of the distinguished
South Carolinian in the city of St.
Louis minus his pocketbook and pass
es. Upon his arrival at st. Louis
he promptly reported at the local offices
of the various railroads and express
companies of the loss of wallet filled
with Iasses, express franks and other
money savers. 1t was reported that the
senator had been robbed on a trair,
but he denied the story at the South
ern Hote'. "They fell out of my
pocket he said, and | did not no.
tice it at the time. They were not
taken by pickpocket, that l know"
One Of the passes lost WAS over the
Burlington railroad and guess | drop
ped it at Kansas City. 1t was in
pocketbook that had lot of express
company franks and telegraph franks
and other railroad passes. and all
that kind of stnff. But had not used
the Burlington pass. "
Senator Tillman was asked if it was
not unusual for him to accept such
favors from corporations, and he re-
pl.ed:' How can / help accepting
Them they stick them at me until |
just have to take chem. They don't
influence my vote. 1t is different
down in our country from what it is
up here But haven't heard of any
body being bought with thousand
dollar bills down our way, have
you? It's the custom for all public
men to accept passes and most of Us
are slaves to custom.
The senator may not be Influenced
by accepting passes and express and
telegraph franks, but it is very GER
tain that when they were 'stuck at
him" it was for the purpose of in
fiuencing him. He know, that per-
fectly we'll and hereafter his screeds
against such soulless corporations
will be accepted with doubt. Nearly
all, If not quite all, the southern
states forbid the acceptance OF
passes by state officials. Mr.. Tillman
will now have an opportunity to ex-
plain to his constituents why he &C.
cepted those passes when they were
"stuck at him." What is the differ.
ence between accepting Thousand
dollar bill when stuck at him and
| accepting a pocket full of passes

CROP CONDITIONS
In Missippi Injured by Too Frequent
Rains-Corn Crop Will Be
Good.

Special TO the Daily Progress.
Jackson, August 12.-The crop
conditions in Missis spipi in practi-
cally all of the localities have been
injured by the continued rains of the
past several weeks. In the central
and southern portions of the state
has this been especially true, and
there it has done great damage to the
cotton, causing rust to set in and
giving the grass and the weeds u
start, and that it is always hard for
the farmer to overtake.
To the young corn the weather has
been beneficial ard il the conditions
continue favorable, there is no doubt
but that the state will have one of
the best corn crops for many years.

LYNHCNING ON THE INCREASE

Lynching seems to be growing
worse all over the country 1t is not
confined to any section; and on the
very least pretenses now man is
jerked up and hanged. 1t is becom-
ing very common thing If one man
kills another, though the killing
may have been done IN self defense,
mob takes him from the Jail and
lynches him. AT Yszoo city, in this
state not many moons ago three was
a street duel and it was not long
after the smoke died away before
there was serious talk of lynching the
participants who happened to escape
the deadly bullets. At fernando
in this state also last Thursday one
man shot at another and the shot
was returned, fatally wounding the
Inan who started the fight and who
did his utmost to take the life of the
other man. The latter had to be
spirited away TO keep mob from
lynching him, though the report is to
the effect that he was in the right and
fought only to save his own life.
At Tocamo, WASH, the other day one
real estate agent shot another and
the last report is that if the latter
dies the former will be lynched. Up
in Indiana and Illinois it is the same
and the same prevails in Florida, or.
in other words, from the lakes to the
gulf and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
That lynching or mob violence is
increasing all over the country there
is not the least doubt, and the time
seems to be coming when it will be
necessary to lynch the lynchers to put

Below are given some extracts from q
letter received from correspondent OF
a Kansas City paper In China:
Yesterday We all went up to an ad-
Joining temple and called on some Chi
nese ladies'. wife and daughters OF Chi
nese official of high rank. According to
Chinese etiquette a man should never see
4 woman not bis wife and Il ls thought
to be especially improper for girl TO be
the object Of a mans gaze. But the
mother likes Americans very much and
wanted her girls 10 see US. So we all
went and took a look at the beauties,
and they had look al uS. apparently to
the mutual satisfaction Of both sides.
"One girl was a. one 20 and another 10
years old The two younger ones were
very nice looking but for the horrid paint
they always smear on their cheeks and
lips. A girl or married woman always
has her cheeks painted red and her lips
