- Anderson, Jelly 10: Senator Till
man has entirely recovered from the
effects Of his illness Of a year ago,
and he says that he now feels just
scribes 1t all to the effects Of physical
culture, OF which he has been q de-
votee for months pest. At Clemson
college this week he gave some Of his
friends an exhibition performances. He
carried them into his room one night
and stripped down to his undershirt
and began. He went through all the
contortions and convolutions prescrfb-
ed in the most advanced lessons of
the course, bringing every muscle In
his body into play. 1t was very inter-
esting The success OF the treatment
Is very evident. Senator Tillman Is
in perfect condition. His body is 1.-THE
and firm and in his walk he Is as 1.-the
and agile as he ever was. After he
had finished his exercises last night
he remarked, "If we mad a horizontal
bar I would skin the cat for you
few times, Just to show you how easy
II Is" He then offered to wrestle with
any member Of the board Of trustees,
but got no takers. Physical culture
is the greatest thing in the world for
man Of sedentary habits" said. the
senator, "and especially for man
getting well along in life. II had not
taken 1t would have been dead by
now" Senator Ti.lman will leave i'm
mediately after the adjournment Of
congress for lecture tour through
Ohio. He will be gone for few
summer at mis- home at Trenton
Some Of his Anderson friends win try
to get him to come here and make q
speech some time during the summer,
and he said this mo- ming that he
would try and comply with their re-
quest. Senator Tillman passed through
the city this morning on his way to
his home at Trenton.
Columbia, July 8: BY reason Of
q peculiar combination of conditions,
the indications are that when prohi-
bition comes In the county elections
provided for by the act Of the last
legislature-and 1t will not surprise
any great number of people to see ev-
cry remaining wet" county in the
state vote itself "dry'-the state will
go dry with a better promise Of the
law being enforced than has been the
case with any other state in the I'm
Ion. From the present outlook, South
Carolina is going to give another DEM
onstration Of how she can be pecu-
liar. The local option people and
many Of the old state dispensary peo-
pie are going to retaliate on the blind
tigers for lining up with the Prohi-
bitionists by seeing that every COM
gets all the prohibition 1t has
voted for. The blind tiger element,
neither here nor In Charleston, has
taken much trouble to conceal the
fact that 1t will vote for prohibition
generally over the state. OF course,
the Prohibitionists will be only too
glad to get the support Of the local
optionists. and won't ask any ques-
tions about the motives, and the may
affected by the loss Of the dispensary
business, will join the jolly crew
which will demand that the police
enforce the law. Most anybody who
has had any practical observation of
city or town police forces knows that
there Is not a town in the state where
the police are not strong enough to
stamp out every tiger for keeps II in
telligent public sentiment demands
this. 1t seems now practically fore
gone conclusion that the next legisla-
ture will pass a statewide prohibi-
ton bill even II every county goes dry
so as to prevent their so easily voting
wet again, and It seems equally likely
that the law as to tigers will be so
changed as to do away with the trial
Of them by juries and handle them
entirely by injunction. Senator Wes-
ton, of Richland, will urge the pas
sage Of such law. He Is local op-
ZIONIST, and has warned the local tiger
element that he will advocate such a
law II the tigers persisted In support
Ing the local prohibitionists. A bill to
this effect lacked but one vote Of get
ting through, and with additional
going dry will likely have
sailing next spring.
