,riLLMAN PLEASED
.TTHE RE ULT aIRE RECENT
CONVEN: IONS.
avs Ee Will Ccnsinne to Fight to
Purify the State Dispelsary
system.

Senator Tillman Is grestly pleased
With the result in ths county coVen.
5icnS throughout South Carolina, says
the Washington correspondent OF the
Columbia Record. BE has been 80
busy with railroad rate legisla5l'o :e
aas not had much time to anal: z the
situation count? by county, but there
sas az exD,= s.5n Of satisfaction
throughout.
Naturally be Is pleased with the
strong endorsement given him in
many counties and the evident lack
Of anything like opposition to him
amo2g tie people OF the state. b.
yond this, however, he ia greatly
satisfied with, the showing made b9
the dispensary people in all directions.
rs is more firmly convinced now than
ever, he says, that in the counties
where the disrsnsary was voted Out
there was No real expression OF ma
jo1isy Of the people. Hs predicts that
practically every county In the state
Hill, as quickly as possible, desert the
prohibition farce it has in vogue and
return to the control Of the whiskey
traffic under the dispensary system.
Senator Tillnan said that it was
plainly evidsnt that the wave Of
opposition to the dispensary that ran
through the state for awhile is peter
ing out and he believes that the in.
stitution, under promise of better
management and laws that will pre-
vent corruption aud fraud, will be
sustained by a larger majority than
sver before kaoyn IN the state. The
senator reneWs bis promise to lead g
light that will mean publication OF
5he dispensary system and the .enac.
vion Of laws that will prevent re.
Surn to corruption. Ia belieVss that
the people have wisely concluded that
it is not the system that Is at fault,
out the lack OF proper laws aud the
administration Of the business by
enemies of the institution. With
sar:cter laws and in the hands Of It's
friends In the future there ought not
to be a recurrence OF the things that
dtsgusted many people for a long
time.
The moral effect OF the results OF
the c,unty conventions will be good
throughout the state, it is believed
oy the senator. It demonstrates the
strength OF the dlspensary forces and
shows to tnem that II they will turn
out at tee primaries they have the
votes to forever settle the question 10
the right way. Senator Tillman be-
lieves that every friend Of the dis.
pensary system should unbesitatingly
insist on candidates for the legislature
answering dire:5ly, without evasion,
QUESTIONS showing how they stand on
the dispansary question. II they do
aot positively assert their willingness
to continue 1t under laws that will
maze fl what it should be he thinks
they should be promptly defea ed In
favor OF men with frank convictions
and having no underhanded prrj scss
OF sgabbing it IN the back when in
oh6ce.

the enlisted service of the navy a:
Mare Island. With him lived bis
wife. mother and two children. They
were in San Francisco at the time Of
the earthquake, and were covered
with tons OF debris, afterwards being
burned to a crisp: Hanson was miss
ed and search was instituted fo1
him. he was found, or rather what
remained Of him together With the
charred bodies Of his family.
When Hanson's friends discovered
his fate they opened up communities

not koow at that time that any OF
the family had suffered in the fire,
but the enlisted man, and so wired
back that only the body Ct Hansen
could ba transported to Washington
se the expense Of the government.
In due time reply came thas the
bodies OF Hanson, his two children,
wife and mother were in the same
& Mn, and that it would be impossible
to distinguish one from the other.
On ;ers Of the navy department are
not generally spooky, but upon re-
csips OF this telegram there was a gen.
eral desire to drop the matter. It was
out Of the ordinary run Of things. It
was finally decided that under the
circumstances all Of the bodies should
be brought here for burial in Airing

It is all right to preach that man
should love his neighbo' as hi1self-
1t sounds SO good and platCn;c. But
it is not always possible. T ke for

fine garden and bis neighbor has
chickens which he persists in permit

man with the garden love that nelgb'
Dor as himself? l. simply can't be

In Defence Of the Property Of His
Employer, Now Faces
A CHARGE OF THEFT.
But the Young Mans Friends Claim That
After Being Shot by Robbers His
Mind Became Uncertain
and That Caused His
Trouble

T. NJ. Hill, formerly agent Of the
Southern Bail say at Greers, was
arrested some dme ago charged with
emhezz ing $4,000 Of the conpany's
money. Hill's accounts at Greer were
regularly and frequently examined by
travelling auditors o. the Southern,
and all Of them pronounced them COZ.
rect until early il 1905, when Mr. W.
D. Lowrey claims to have discovered
a SO, 600 shortage. Hill was relieved
OF mis- position three days before his
arrest, WHICH was made at the ia-
stance, as stated, Of an agent Of the
American Surety company.
This concern bonds the SoutheHns,
agents and insures the railway COM
pany against loss through thier mis-
appropriation OF funds. Upon the
discovery OF the alleged discrepancy
in Hill's books, the Southern called
upon the surety company to make
good the loss. The money was paid
and the bonding company toen took
up the matter of making an example
OF Hill. Hill was an officer in the
Presbyterian P church and also popu.
Lar Sunday school teacher. and his AZ
rest produced a sensation.
-Four years ago an efor6 was made
to rob the safe at Greer, snd Hill,
who was in charge OF the Office that
night, came near sacrificing bis life
10 save the company's property. Two
men er tered the oface, aad covering
him with pistols, ordered him TO
throw up bis hands AID open sha safe.
There were two other robbers watch.
ing from without. Hill threw up his
hands but refused to disolts, the safe
combination, whereupon he was shot
and fell to the f f>or. Lying on the
floor he refused to obey q second
order, and this refusal, too, was fol\
lowed By q bullet, which crashed
through the agents body.
The cries and shots aroused the
town and the highwaynan bad to
leave without their booty. Hill was
found lying in a pool Of blood. Since
that time, it Is claimed by his
friends, Hills mind has suffered In
consequence Of the nights azperien-
ces AS a result, they say, the ac-
counts Of his office having become
mud6led, eliminating in his arrest.
Many Of HIPS friends most Of whom
remain true to him, do not believe
that be intended to do wrong, and
and that the apparent shortage In
bis Office is the result If mental and
physical troaples caused By tho In
iuries be received as above described.

Goat and sheep raisers Of Polk
county are learning that it pays
better to raise the pure-bred than
common animals, for the demand
for Polk county Angoras, and
Lincoln and Cotswold sheep now
exceeds the supply. The Riddell
aud Stump sheep and goat farms,
in particular, have national fame,
especially since carrying away
premiums at the st. Louis fair.
Fancy prices have been received
for much of the livestock shipped
