The Dargan-King Company
1iIIman and charIes sion.

The Charleston News and Courier
says editorially:
"It was a happy thought on the part
of Mayor Rhett at the banquet. Mon
day evening to propose to the speedy
recovery OF the Senior Senator from
South Carolina, and the hearty good
will with which it was drunk by all
present evidence strongly the graft
tuGe in which Senator Tillman's work
for the Charleston navy yard Is
held by the people of this city. Con-
gresham Foss declared that Mr.. Till
man did more than any other n man
to establish the yard and the state
ment was applauded most warmly.
of us regret that MI. Tillman could
not be present Monday evening, and all
of us hope sincerely that he will soon be
well again."
This is very nice, and it is a credit to
to all parties concerned.
Charleston and Tillman used to
fight each other, hut that was years
ago and it is all v r now. And in
spite of it all Senator Tillman has been
the best friend Charleston ever had in
official position. BE did more than
any other one MAJ to secure the estab-
lishment of the Charleston navy yard.
The fact is recognized nd appreciated.
1t Is a pity he could not be present
at the presentation of the silver service
to the battleship South carolina, but
the tribute that Mayor Rhett paid him
will doubtless compensate him, in
some measure, for his enforced absence.

PhiIip Zimmerman Dead.

Mr.. Philip L. Zimmerman died. suddenly
in a field near his home on last Friday,
April 18th, aged about sixty seven years.
He had been overlooking the work Of a
hand in the field. 1t was about the noon
hour and the hand went to the house, and
when he returned to the field. he found
Mr.. Zimmermon lying dead near a stump
He has been affected with heart trouble
for some years. 1t Is likely that he felt
some depression, and sat down on the
stump to rest, when he died.
The life Of Philip Zimmerman illustrates
pointedly the fact that happiness is a rel
alive term, dependent not on circum-
stances, but on the quality Of heart and
mind, that accepts a suficiency with con-
tentment. "Blest with content and milk
and meal" he lived a quiet upright life in
his humble cottage. He was never fretted
by ambition nor levied by lust for gold.
Though broken in body and bowed with
infirmity, he managed to look carefully
after his farm, and to lay up each year
provision for the next.
Mr.. Zimmerman was honest in his deal
ings with his fellow man. He was plain
spoken almost to the point Of bluntness.
He wa Of kindly heart, and he was con-
sistent member of the Methodist Church,
He was buried in old Bethel Cemetery,
near Bethel Church. The funeral services
were conducted at the grave by Reverend
George Gary Lee, pastor Of the church.
Among those who attended the funeral
from Abbeville, were Nj. and Mrs. ]. F.
Thornton, Miss Corrie Andrews, Rev. E.. B.
Kennedy, Mrs. Ed Richey, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. T. Magill, Mr.. Bolick, and Messrs j. l..
Perrin, c. j. Lyon, j.. F. Bradley and "

The present high prices being paid
for hogs and cattle should not deceive
even a ~ten-year-old boy 1t is mere ly a
