s@eSSG%@
lIMr. TiIlman is by birth and by edu-
cation a polished gentleman. When
he chose to enter politics in opposi-
ton to the Huguenot oligarchy that
ruled South Carolina with q rod of
iron he adopted as his platform the
former. His first addresses to the
people Of South Carolina were made
in defense of his proposition that the
state should make generous provision
for agricultural colleges, where the
farmers could educate their boys.
His success taught him the value of
the support OF the .t'plain people, in
South Carolina.
Ia the senate Mr.. Ti1lman is res
pected as an honest and sincere
champion of the rights Of the people,
and his occasional outbursts Of violent
md uncouth language are deeply re-
GREETED BY those who know him best.
! No man Sd more familiar with all the
engaging conventionalities OF social
intercourse, and few men in the
senate are betterSversed in literature
and history, Moreover, as already
stated, Nh. Tillman is growing richer
every day. He is one OF the popular
lecturers OF today. Last year he
averaged $500 a month from his
lectures, and this year he will be
even more successful, for he has a
tour that began on the night of the
Monday that saw the close of congress
and will continue almost without
interruption until next December

Mrs. Pree McKitrick, of La Fargo,

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Fer six years I suffered from female
weakness. I was 80 irregular that I would

thought I would give Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound a trial.
"Now I am ono more we'll and can do my
work without a pain. Any one who wishes,
can write to me and I will answer all letters
gladly"
Women should remember that Lydia

ahudder. Mr.. Tillman, it will be as

and In many quarters it is imagined
that he has worked his way to his
present exalted station from the
ranks Of the "poor whites"-that un-
happy class in the south that is re-
garded with pity even by the negroes.
AS . matter of fact Mr.. Tillman is a
member Of one of the very best fami-
lies OF South Carolina, and the Till
mar estate is one Of the finest in the
south. The family is an old one and
has been prominent in the state for
generations. A brother Of Mr.. Till
man served in congress many years.
"A son Of Mr.. Millman is married to a
granddaughter of that famous Gov
ernor Pickens who, as minister to
Russia in the late ifties, was regard
ed as the foremost member Of the
diplomatic corps at ST. Petersburg.

was born there, was the pet of Cars

South Carolina in 1850, was elected
governor Of that State, and it was he
who demanded of Major Anderson

BUT NAMED CONTROLLER.

The New York Sun of today prints the
following interesting story about James H.
Eckes, who died suddenly in Chicago Sum
day. The Sun says Mr.. Eckels was one
of the very few men regarded as proteges
of President Cleveland There was no ten
MIS- cabinet or other official auxiliary to
the Cleveland regime. Nearly all Of Presi-
dent Cleveland's prominent official asso-
c!ates were prominent before Mr. Cleveland
called them to the public service.
Mr.. Eckels came to Washington In the
early spring of 1893. and was famiiiar
boyish figure around the Arlington Hotel
lobby. He was pale. thoughtful and stu
dious and practiced regular hours and
habits. He had met Mr.. Cleveland when
he was governor of New York and Mr.
Eckels was a student at the Albany Law
School, He knew Daniel Lamont. Daniel
Manning and Charles w. Tracey. He was
a delegate to the democratic national con-
vention of 1892. and worked under the in
structions of William c. Whitney to bring
about President Cleveand's nomination

weeks after he took office national banks
began to fail. Within single month there
were nearly as many failures occurred
during the entire history of the office. He
met the situation and measured up to IL.
President Cleveland's admiration for his
protege grew. When Mr.. Eckeis retired
from office Mr.. Cleveland sent him an au-

he had made in either administration had
given him such satisfaction.
