Our Resources.

With the resources of a bank ac-
count. no man need starve. Is 1t not
more sublimely true that the Christian
has the resources of the Eternal at his
command? He can have at will that
with which to procure peace, joy and
rest. With the noise and strife of the
earthly battle waging around him, the
Christian can stop. IL he will, and hear
instead thereof the deep and musical
sound of the ocean of eternity and see
the lights Of heaven shining on fits
waters still and fair in their radiant
rest"

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much of
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory if proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

choice of Starch a matter of great i'm

from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

Rumor Says That Picturesque
Senator Will Resign Seat.

| Washington.-The shrill voice of
Senator Benjamin Ryan T1llman of
South Carolina may never be heard
in the senate chamber again. Senator
Tillman is i'll at his home, a farm
near Trenton. s. G. The rumor that
he contemplatss resigning his seat is
revived. but Mr.. Tillman is following
the same course he did last summer
and refuses to confirm or deny the
rumor.
Senator Tillman has not fully recov.
cred from the attack of partial paraly.
sis which seized him last summer. He
tried to cure this by an extended tour
of several months in Europe. The
health resorts of the continent helped
him greatly and he returned to the
United States much stronger than he
was when he left While the paralysis
has not returned, a general debility
from nervousness has made his life
unhappy in the last few months.
The going of Tillman will take from
the senate one of it's most picturesque
characters. "Pitchfork Ben," as he is
called, is feared of all other senators
for the sharpness of his tongue and
the keeness Of his wit. No man in the
United States senate is an ADLER rough

But the unrest continues. Dom

Finally things came to such a pass

sent for the pretender and told him
bluntly that he would have to get out

the Portuguese throne, at least within
the confines of Ausrria-Hungary. This

was just the same two years ago when

incensed the people that the Legitim-

and ready debater than Tillman
while his remarks have never carried
much weight they have appealed to
the galleries and looked we'll in print
His logic might have been poor and
his speeches inferior to those of his
opponents, but his mannerisms have
| won the victory for him in the pop
ular mind.
Senator Tillman's brother, the late
George R. Tillman, was a congress-
man from the Second South Carolina
district. In the house he was known
as one Of the most quiet and unemo
tional men that ever sat in the body.
During his service he seldom talked
and when he did he spoke simply and
to the point. The name of Tillman
was practically unknown until Sena-
tor Tillman was elected governor of
South Carolina in 1892. He celebrated
his election by forcing through the
legislature the dispensary liquor law
in that state. -.g. go
Always interested in education, he
founded his second college in the
state after the inauguration. The first
school established through his effort
was the Clemson Agricultural and Me-
chanical college at Calhoun's old
home, Fort Hill, S. G. The second
school is the Winthrop Normal and
Industrial College for Women at Rock
Hill. .-.. -.
The successful canvass for the
gubernatorial chair encouraged Mr..
Tillman to try for the senatorial cleo
ton against Gen. Butler The two men
canvassed South Carolina county by
county, and Tillman won in the legis-
lature with 131 votes against Gen.
Buffers Fl. He took his seat in the
senate on March 4, 1895, and has been
reelected twice since. His term Of
Office would expire in 1913 if he con-
tinued to serve.
In his career in the senate Mr.. Till
man has had a stormy time. Always
ready with his voice to attack or de-
fend as the mood was, he got into a
wordy war with Senator McLaurin Of
his state over "a new brand of Demo
cracy which Tillman preached in
South Carolina as Commercial De-
mocracy." McLaurin dubbed it plain
Republicanism. The two senators
clashed over some trivial matter in
the senate chamber and were soon
pummelling each other like school
boys
Senator Tillman suffered the worst
slight of his career after this fracas.
President Roosevelt had invited him,
along with the other members of the
foreign relations committee, to dine
with him when Prince Henry Of Prus-
STA was the guest of honor. When the
president heard of the fight in the
senate chamber he recalled the invita-
ton to Mr.. Tillman. The senator
never has forgotten the snub and un-
til President Taft occupied the White
House never entered the White House
grounds.
His fight with Roosevelt was long.
The president scored In the last en-
counter when he replied to Tillman's
criticism Of his secret service policy
BY publishing letters which tended to
show that Senator Tillman was inter.
ested in land deal In the west whose
interests were being furthered BY hia
activity % senator. IL 81
