EOGEFlELD ENDORSES JAS. II. TILLmAn

The Edgefield Democratic County Con.
vention has put itself on record once
more. In the meeting last Monday JAS
H. Tillman, the slayer of Editor N. G.
Gonzales, was endorsed "unanimously"
Cor seat in the Congress of the United
States from that district. The resolu-
zion is as follows:
Resolved, That we hereby endorse our
distinguished follow. citizen, James H.
Tillman, for Congress from this Congress
sional District, feeling that his services
in the National House of Representa-
tives would be of great benefit to our
people in the fight now being waged
against corporate greed and corruption
in this country, crisis which threatens
the republic and calls for our best tai
ent.n
This resolution, as we view it, comes
with peculiar i'll grace. That James H.
Tillman has ability is not denied, but is
it right to send. or attempt to send, "our
distinguished fellow citizen" from the
jury, even tho"gh acquitted, to seat in
the National House of Representatives. ?
We think not. Mr.. Tillman had his op-
portunities to display the ability which
he possesses when tho political honors
of South Carolina were his for the ask
ing. He chose the wide and easy path
that led to his quick undoing. Is it pro-
bable that a sudden thrusting of great
ness upon Mr.. Tillman will tend to i'm
prove him or reflect any particular G. edit
upon the State at large or his own Con-
grcssional District? Thus far, since the
tragical elimination of his public life, he
has shown his good sense by remaining
much in the privacy of his homo. 1t is
not becoming, on the part of his friends,
to drag him into publicity and political
affairs before the blood of his victim has
scarce had time to cease to flow.
We protest against the action of the
Edgefied convention for the good of the
State and for Tillman's sake. Let him
prove himself, by his life for some years
10 come, all that his admirers claim for
him, and the time will not, even then, be
over-ripe for clevating him to place in
the National Congress-

The body, inclOsed in a large wooden

accorded by the French troops.
Meantime, the new King, Sisowate.
and all his priests remained fat on their
faces for three hours before the i'm
mense funeral pyre which had been pre-
pared.
After the procession. the urn was
placed on she pyre, and Sisowate set
fire to several pans of perfumed alcohol
placed round the urn. Eagots of sandal
wood had been supplied to all the Euro
pean and native nOtables who were pres
ent, and with these they fed the flames.
When the urn caught fire King Siso-
waite began to pray in q loud voice, and
the prayer was echoed vigorously by the
priests. the women of the palace. and
the mandarins The official mourners
gave voice to a long-draWn wall, which

Sure, sir" answered the page.
Well, drop this into it"

THE "BLUEBEARD" LEGEND.

''Bluebeard'' is known TO the folklore
of nearly all nations
Originally the tale was told of an
Arab chief. who determined to curb the
curiosity of women. So in succession he
married wives TO whom he gave the key
to a chamber in his home. When he
found By marks in the dust that they had
disObeyed his order never TO open the
door. he beheaded them. The sixth wife
was rescued and BluebearG was slain.
The Bluebeard story was brought into
English literature through the French
of Charles Perrault, an old seventeenth
century chronicler. He gave Bluebeard
the name of Chevalier RaOul, and found
ed the story on a historic character
named Giles de Laval Baron de RetZ
who lived from l4A until 1440.
Laval distinguished himself in the
wars of Charles VII of France, fought
with the Maid of Orleans, became a
marshal of France, and at last retired
To his castle of Retz. A quarrel with
the duke of Brittany brought on an in
vestigation which developed the fact
that he practiced hideous barbarities in
his castle. During fourteen years he
had enticed more than 100 children TO his
stronghold and sacrificed them to Satan
being a slave TO superstitions. For these
deeds he was burned alive near Nantes
in 1870
A similar character appears in some
collections of old Italian stories and
the tale of the Third Calender in the
Arabian Nights bears a very close re-
semblance TO the Bluebeard legend
Tieck, the German author, has used the
material In a drama called ''Phantasus -
Getry. a Frenchman. produced a comic
opera called "RaOul Barbe- -Bleue." in
17SS. which was transplanted to the
English stage by Coleman in 1893. Of
