Turbulent Time for Tillman.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 21.-Sen-
ator Benjamin Tillman participated
in the most turbulent meeting of his
lecture tour last night, and the row
was all over his insistence to speak on
the race question.
The lecture was under the auspices
of the Young Mems Christian asso-
ciation, and the president, respond
ing to the influence of the large COL
ored population, demanded that the
South Carolina senator refrain from
talking about the race question.
When the meeting opened, the
president of the Young Mems Chris
tian association informed him that
the subject of the lecture would be
ssThe Trend of American Politics. :"
Tillman got hopping mad in an in
slant and said he would not be gag
ged by a parcel of mules. Then the
Z. M. c.. A. official told the senator
to get out in the street and talk;
that he could not deliver an undesir-
able address in the Y. M. c. A.
building. Tillman offered to return
the check which had been given him
and it was not accepted.
Then Senator Tillman said he
would talk about politics, but would
interject the negro question. And
another bigger row followed in
which many of the audience partici-
pated. Men rose up and denounced
the senator and he fought back. Fin
ally the question was put to the au-
dience, whether the race question
should be discussed or not, and Till
man was voted down. He acquiesced,
saying that he could have Influenced
the result the other way had he so
desired. He proceeded to talk politics
in his forceful way.

A Tragedy of the Civil War.

Not all the sad stories of wartime
come from the battlefield. Many a
heart-break is not recorded on the
list of the killed and wounded. The
civil war knew no more tragic oc-
currence than the following incident,
taken from the New York Sun. A
soldier had enlisted from his home in
Georgia, where his father remained
undisturbed through the struggle.
The young man fought through the
war without scratch save slight
wound which left him a little deaf.
This affliction he never mentioned IN
his letters.
After the surrender he sent his
father word that he would reach
home about a certain date. Travel
was then uncertain, and he could
not tell just when he would arrive.
His father prepared to receive him.
He had brought out the best plate,
which had been secreted for a long
time, and with gold which had been
exhumed he bought such substantials
and delicacies as the Southern mar
ket at that time afforded. AS many
of the old-time neighbors as were lv-
in the vicinity were invited to the
home coming.
The young soldier arrived on the
plantation the night before the earl
lest date he had mentioned. 1t was
late and the family had retired, but
the dog heard the noise and began to
bark. The sound reused the father,
who rose and got his shotgun. The
country was overrun at the time with
stragglers and sneak thieves. The
father, gun in hand, went to the door,
saw the approaching figure and chal-
lenged it. The young man, being
deaf, made no reply, but still ad-
vanced, whereupon the father raised
his gun and fired. His son fell, shot
through the heart.
1t was a pitiful sight to see that
almost crazed father carrying his
lifeless son into the home which had
been made ready to welcome him.
The next day the guests arrived. In
stead of joyously greeting the re-
turned soldier, they gazed at the still
form, wrapped in a flag for which
the young man had bravely fought.
Every private battle-ground had in
it grave made by the war, but no
funeral like that ever took place in
the vicinity, or, possibly, in the
whole South.-Youth's Companion.

Mill Is Making Money.

BAMBERG, September 16.-The an
nual meeting Of the stockholders of
the Bamberg Cotton Mills Company
was held in the office of the company
today. A complete and very salts
factory statement was rendered byJ.
H. Cope, president and treasurer,
showing net profit of about IS per
cent for the year. President Cope
stated that he had considerable trou-
BILE about labor during the greater
portion of theyear, and that the prof
its would have been much larger but
for this trouble.
The entire product of the mill has
been sold up to April l, 1908, and
some of it up to July l, 1908. The
cotton to manufacture the goods sold
has also been purchased at a price
which assures a handsome profit for
next year. A semi-annual dividend
of seven per cent was paid to the
stockholders before this meeting -
this being the custom this was
not included in the net profits of the
statement today. If the dividends
had been deferred until the meeting
had been held the profits would have
shown about AZ per cent instead of
35. A large portion of the profits
have already been used in building
additional operatives houses and en-
largements and improvements of the
mill plant, and 81, 900 or $4,000 more
will be used in erecting a cotton ware
house, the foundation of which has
already been laid.

Mrs. Blair's Claim Held Up.

COLUMBIA, October 1.-The gen
eral Offices of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, which has re-
fused to pay to Mrs. Ethel W. Blair
as her husbands administratrix -
the 1866 due on a policy for 81 ,OOO
held by her husband at the time she is
alleged to have killed him, say in let
ter to State Agent McElree that this
is the first time the company has ever
been asked to pay widow charged
with the murder of her husband.
"The company has no desire whatever
to get out of paying the claim" said
Mr.. McElree, ''but the law says that
one may not profit by his own unlaw-
full act-and until Mrs. Blair is ac-
quilted the company can not pay her
the money. The amount due will be
paid over as soon as the case against
her is disposed of. The widow gets
one-third of the estate, where no
will is left-the children getting the
remaining two-thirds. When Mrs:
Blair is acquitted the company will
promptly and cheerfully pay her as
administrative. If she is convicted
l suppose the money will be turned
over to some person authorized to
receive it for the children"

New County Survey.

WALTERBoRo, October 4-Messrs.
Bellinger and Nichalson, who are
engaged in surveying the line of the
proposed Branchville county, have
gotten as far as Williams on their sur
yey. Mr.. Nicholson spent Sunday in
town and stated they were progress
ing very nicely with their work and
hoped tobe through in about three
weeks time. The line, he said, at St.
George was not quite seven miles
from the court house. The advocates
of the new county, however, are en-
deavoring to have their petition
amended in this respect. 1t is not
known yet what the result will be.
The progress of this survey will be
watched with interest.
