TALK WITH TILLMAE.
The Senior Senator, Who is in Allan
ia, Gives Out an Interesting
Interview.
Atlanta Constitution.

senator from South Carolina, and one
Of the best known figures in American
politics, is an Albanian tempore lily,
making his home for a week or so at
the Robertson Sanitarium, on Capltoi
avenue. With Mr.. Tillman is his
wife. and it is on her account that the
triD was made. "Still," remarked the
senator in this connection, i was
feeling a trif1e off my feed the early
part of the winter. and there were GER
tain symptoms which made me kno"
that there would be no harm done III
my taking the treatment here as well
as nv wife. So l am here and | am
glad to say that at present even the
suggestion of those symptoms OF the
early part of the winter are gone and
am feeling fine
Senator Tillman certainly looks tns
picture Of rugged health, and there Is
little in his stalwart frame and gener-
ously proportioned features to even
suggest the fact that during his boy
hood he was a great invalid. 1t was
while he was in delicate health and II
wears Of age that he came to Georgia
for wear. He settled below ElDer-
ton. in the fiat lands, and there met
his wife, their marriage occurring
some three years later. i've never
been free man." he said yesterday
II always belonged to my mother un-
til I married, when I was 20, and l
never have found time since then
that I did not belong to my wife" )"
and the senator laughed in way that
suggested little suffering from his
lifelong slavery.
Immigration to South.
When asked about the matter OF
immigration to the south the Souun
Carolinian stated:
at seems to me that the north, and
bv this l mean mostly the northern
cities are doing more in the way OF
sending foreigners to the south at TINS
time than ever before. I think that
this is mostly due to the tact tha'
thew are beginning to be AFRAID OF the
contested condition Of the cities made

sI;en quarters of the cities to such an
ex1ent that it's welfare is threatened
