Tillman in the North.

"a Spartanburg merchant, who has
Just returned from New York, Gays
people in South Carolina have no idea
how strong hold Senator Tillman
has taken on northern sentiment.
His name is on the lips of nearly
everybody in New York, fnanciers
and wholesale merchants and busi-
ness men of large sffairs as we'll as
the ordinary citizen. he is looked
on, says the Spartanburg merchant,
as about the biggest man in the
country, not even the president be-
ing regarded as more prominently
identified with current questions and
legislations than the South Carolina
senator. This Spartanburg merchant
says he has never been Tillmanite
and has never voted for Tillmsn, but
expects TO do so this summer as can
didate to succeed himself in the
United States senate. He says it
would be nothing short of national
calamity for Senator TiIlman to re-
tire from the senate at this time. -

however, were made looking to a
reduction of the valuation fixed by

the birthplace and burial place of
Confucius. An incense dish of
stone rang with the bell-like tone
of bronze on being struck with .

al note on being struck at any
point, and a large tablet-three

thick-emitted a note varying
with the point struck. These

known for centuries. The material
is a grayish oolitic limestone, and

ORIGIN OF TERM LYNCH LAW
Tale of Irish Clan Which Was Per-
petuated by Giving Deeds Name
of Chief Characters.

S0maDNu Inherent NerslOuS dhuSN
plantations of the term lynch law
have at various times been given,
and occasionally are even yet add
ed to, that it seems fitting to re-
count the tragic incident which
has since given a name to so many
calamitous occurrences not only
in our land, but on occasion also
in that of others.
The very name of Lynch" gives
the direct cue to the land of its or.
igin-Ireland. And when we re
call the fact that during the lat
ter part of the seventeenth and
theearlypart of theeighteenth cen
fury there was comparatively a
large immigration from the North
Of Ireland and the South of Scot
land, coming as settlers to the
Carolinas, from which much of
this material spread westward
into Kentucky and Tennessee, and,
realizing the tenacity with which
these peoples husband, nourish
and perpetuate their folklore and
traditions, it needs only to relate
the incident which Thackeray in
his Irish Sketch Book" graphic
ally recounts, to show how natural
1t was to apply the memories and
such a term to the individual exer.
else of justice and punishment.
Thackeray, in the book referred
to and in Chapter 16, which treats
of Galway, thus speaks of an oc.
currence within its precincts which
in lS42-and probably does to this
day-bore the grewsome "memen.

words following:
