SENATOR TILLMAN ILL.
Suffers an Attack from an Old Trouble
at his Home at Trenton.

ol a. AlSAtoAs
COLUMBIA, March Ex-senator Till
man, who for several days has been
at his home at Trenton, between Co.
lumbia and Augusta, will probably
not be able to return to his duties in
Washington for some days. Senator
Tillman was taken seriously Ill Thurs
day night.
He spoke Monday in Washington,
and after two days at Clemson COL
lege; he went to his home at Trenton,
complaining of the heat. That night
he had an attack evidently due to the
hard work and the unusual heat
which produced nervous troubles
similar to those from which he suffer-
ed three years ago, when he consult
ed eminent specialists in P Philadelphia,
who found no signs of organic disease.
After a short rest the Senator was
soon at his post again. In the pres
ent attack the old symptoms of numb
ness and tingling Of the left side have
returned but they are lessening in the
last twenty-four hours. His physiS
clans, DR.. Hunter and DR.. Babcock,
are agreed that there are now no in
dications of organic trouble and are
hopeful that after a few days rest,
the Senator may be well enough to
return to his duties in Washington.

WILL GARRIS RUN?

Under the heading of Candidates
in Town." the Walterboro Press and
Standard had the following to say
last week of Hon. C. w. Garris.
'sHon. C.. w. Garris, of Denmark,
was in town yesterday. Mr.. Garrls
is considering whether or not he shall
be candidate for congress from his
district. 1t is believed that if he an
nounces bis candidacy he will make it
very interesting for those who run.
He is popular in his adopted county
and it is thought that the man who
defeated, him would be congress
man."
What under the sun is Garris do
ing on a political mission down in
"Collington.''' True he was born
there, but Bamberg county is now
his home and we are mighty proud
to have him as citizen. But *'Col-
lington" is not in the second con-
gressional district, and if he wants
to be congressman let him come up
this way and tell the boys about it.
Seriously, however, Mr.. Garris's
many Bamberg friends are anxious
for him to make the race and are
enthusiastic over his rumored cand-
dacy to a great degree. Whether he
will run or not we do not know, but
he is considering it. Should he enter
the race it is only truth to state that
he will be strongly supported in Bam-
berg, his adopted county. Mr.. Gar
ris would make a fine congressman.
Of commanding personal appearance,
magnetic manners. and sound, SEN
sible views on public questions, he
would be strong representative in
the councils Of the nation.

Wonderfully Good Sight.

The Duchess Of z. once went to
Greenwich to see the marvels Of the
observatory. It. was a lovely night,
and for the fair duchess benefit the
great telescope was duly leveled at the
dazzling field Of stars.
'"What Is that starr" she said. point
ing to very bright one.
"Oh, that's Aldebaran, star OF the
first magnitude"
sls it very far offy' asked her grace.
"About six or seven light years. your
grace"
"What is light year,?
'Merely an expression which one
uses to convey an idea Of the distance
which light travels In a year. Rougn'
" speaking, light travels at the rate
of 10000 miles in second, and there
are about 81 ZOO, ,536 seconds In a year.
In one year, therefore, light travels
above 5,9e1, $40, 100000 miles. The e1-
preston light year includes these ig'
ures."
"And is that star all those m1Iuons
of miles away"
Eyes, your grace, as nearly as we
can calculate"
.Theu all I can say" remarked the
duchess, "is that you must have won
derfully good eyes to make out that
stars name at that distance, even with
this big telescope. It's really most
marvellous" Ht-Bits.

Judge Robert Aldrich has adopted
the policy of sending illegal whiskey
sellers to the chain gang and not al
lowing them the alternative Of fine:
A most excellent plan, and one which
will do much to put stop to the
traffic. Let other judges follow the
example of Judge Aldrich. If he
treats all other criminals as he does
the whiskey sellers, he will do much
to make life and property safer in
South Carolina.

And now the county dispensaries
are getting into trouble, justlike the
State dispensary. One Of the strong
est and most earnest advocates of the
old State dispensary said to us few
days ago: 1T looks like the State
must 90 out of the whiskey business
or it will damn us ALL" Truly it
does look so. No man, no matter
what his previous reputation, can
touch the handling of whiskey with
out suspicion.

If the reader wants to settle in a
wide-awake community, all he has to
do is to look at the local newspapers.
A wide-aWake we'll supported home
newspaper is always associated with
,good schools, churches, active busi-
ness, and intelligent people. 1t never
fails. No business man or pioneer in
any community makes any better in
vestment than in the support Of a
home newspaper.

Attention is directed to the letter
from Congressman J. 0. Patterson in
another column. 1t will be noted that
he is interesting himself in the matter
of good roads, which by the way is a
most important subject with the peo-

we trust hewill be able to accomplish
something along this line. What we
need most to build good roads, how
ever. is not advice but cash.

The death of Capt. w. A. Court
enay, which sad event occurred in
Columbia last week, was great loss
to the State. He lived in Charleston
for many years, and no doubt he did
more patriotic unselfsh service for
the city than any other citizen. In
fact, his life was one of devotion to
to the best interests of his State, and
his good works will live after him.

of pay ranging from per cent. for

Local Lumber Prices Show
Saving Of 20 Per Cent
Over Last Year
PRICES AGAIN ADVANCING
T.-R. Has Asked Local Dealers to Fig
ure Last Years Bills at This Years
Prices and Saving of Several Hun
dred Dollars Appears on Each Bill
MarshaIItown Prices Below Others.

A man can make money by building
this year. Lumber is way down, as
compared to last year, but 1t is going
up a few dollars per thousand feet
every sixty days, and will reach the
former level by next spring.
In order to know just what the saw
ing is the T.-R. has asked T. G. Cart
wright and the Citizens Lumber COM
pany to figure several of last years
lumber bills at this years prices. and
show the difference.
On the lumber and mill work for a
$4,000 house built last year in High
view, the difference this year shows a
drop from $1,165. the actual figure at
which the bill was sold, to 1865, or a
saving of 5000, which is II per cent.
An ordinary barn bill, sold at $64O
last year, was figured over at a saving
of $125, or 20 per cent this year.
A corncrib bill sold last year at 1892,
would be sold this year at $156, or 20
per cent less.
Another barn bill, sold last year at
$500. would be sold this year at s475. a
saving Of more than 20 per cent.
A seven-room house bill. sold last
year at $3.50, this year would figure
$725, or IL per cent less.
Lumber dealers say that the drop IN
common lumber has been % per cent,
in shingles 80 per cent and roofing as
much as 40 par cent, while mill work
shows fully Is per cent reduction.
The reason assigned is that the man
ufacturers of lumber in the south were
not strongly financed, and when the
panic struck them in the fall they were
compelled to sacrifice prices on south
ern pine in order to get the cash with
which to pay notes that could not be
renewed. Nearly all Of them have now
made settlements Of some kind with
their bankers. and many Of the mills
have shut down SO, that with money
easier to get, they are again advance
ing prices. The competition Of low
prices on southern pine brought down
prices on all other grades.
One local dealer shows private cor
respondence with jobbers to the effect
that prices are rapidly going up, and
he confidently expects the old level to
be reached next year. One jobber
writes: ct seems as If prices are adj
vancing so fast that it is almost i'm
possible for us to make our prices good
from one day to another"
The man with something to build had
better buy his lumber right away, and
he can afford to drive long distance
to buy in Marshalltown for lumber
prices here, owing to severe compete
ton among the dealers, average Is to
20 per cent less than in other towns
in Iowa where competitors are amic-
able.
