"Don Quixote" Gives the Lat
est News From Parksville.
Special Easter Exercises.


If you will permit a few line:
from new correspondent will
endeavor to write them. You have
good one in the person of Mr..
Rambler, but perhaps what he neg
lects, the new one can pick up.
The news comes here of ar
informal meeting at Clark's Hill q
few days ago, at which the asser
tion of Senator Tillman, viz: That
the white women and the negro
men of the state did the work, while
the negro women and white men
loitered," was iercely debated, and
after much wrangling and mature
deliberation the following pream.
bic and resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Whereas the assertion of Senator
Tillman upon the floor of the House
of National Representatives, to the
effect, that the white women and
negro men of the state of South
Carolina do the work is true in the
main, but there being exceptions to
all general rules,
Resolved lst. That the assertion
said to have been made by our
senior Senator is true with only
the following exceptions, viz: as to
J. w. Johnson, Luther Bell and
Hill Ryan.
2nd. That these aforesaid citizens
are working themselves to death,
and are hereby admonished and en-
treated to be moderate and temper
ate. -
srd. That Senator Tillman be,
and is hereby requested to have his
offensive remarks expunged from
the record.
We hope the above will end the
unfortunate controversy.

turing offices Edgefeld is always
to be reckoned with, whether it be

Drs. Bell and Blackwell returned
a few days ago from the mass meet
ing held in your village for the pur-
pose of organizing an Anti-Tubercu-
losis League, very much enthused
over the prospects for an effective
campaign against the great White
Pla que. The fact, they say, that
the medical profession of the county
turned out almost unanimously,
augurs well, and means success if
they can get the cooperation of the
laity. which doubtless will be easy
to do.
