NO CLUE TO HICKMAN's sIAYEI
Augusta Greatly Aroused Over Mys
terious Murder.

Augusta, Ca, February 3.-There
is absolutely no clue to the murderer
of DR.. w. c. Hickman, who was as
sassinated by a footpad in Summer
vile, the fashionable suburb of Au-
gusta, last night. Chief Of Police
Elliott, of this city, however, de-
clares that he has recovered one arti-
Gle picked up from the route Of the
murderer, which may guide him In
his investigations. He declines to
say what this article is. The Gov
ernor of the State has offered 5000
reward. The city of Augusta has
offered $1,000. The village of Sum-
merville will offer substantial re-
ward, probably $500. The Bon Air
Hotel Company, the tourist hotel,
near which the murder occurred will
offer a reward, probably Of $500.
The relatives and friends of the muir
dered physician will add a hand
some sum. Two rewards will foot up
nearly $4,000. The coroner's in
quest threw no light on the matter.
The bloodhounds failed last night to
take the trail. Seven people taken
into custody have proved that they
could have had no connection with
the affair. One other arrest has
been made in Aiken, S. c., but this
suspect has not yet been examined
by the police. There is the most
emphatic suppressed excitement. The
entire community is exercised over
the affair. The funeral will occur
Friday afternoon.

JEWS REGAINING PALESTINE.
Practical Progress Of Zionists in Re
cent Years.

DlSpdtCheS from JeruSdlem, says q
London letter to the New York Sun,
tell of remarkable strides made dur
ing the last few years in the repeop-
ling of Palestine with Jews. The
proclamation of the constitution in
Turkey threw open the doors of Pal
estine and led to an enormous influx
of Jewish colonists, who are already
settled on some of the best lands of
the country.
In Jerusalem alone four-ffths of
the population now belongs to the
Jewish faith. Large tracts OF land
around Lake Tiberias have been
bought up fro mpoor natives and con-
verted into prosperous farms. The
plain of Sharon, between Jaffa and
LYDIA, is one vast garden, owned
and tended by Jewish skill and la
Dor. The Hauran, one of the most
fertile wheat districts in the world,
is being sold to Jewish syndicates.
Almost the whole of the extensive
Plain of Esdraelon has been bought
up by Jews. Their prosperous colo
nies spread from Dan to Beersheba,
snd even further South to the out
skirts of Egypt. Thousands are es-
Gaping from Persia to find shelter
and protection in the Holy Land,
while every ship from Odessa carries
some of them.
The Jordan Valley, once the
property of the ex-Sultan Abdul
Hamid, is being eagerly sought after
by Jewish capitalists. The Zionists,
whose agents are distributed all over
the land, are buying up the rich
properties of the Mohammedan effen-
dis, whose incomes since the revolu-
ton have lessened.
At Jaffa, Tiberias, Safed and Haifa
Mount CarmeD Jews are reckoned
by ten tens of thousands. Towns like
Ramoth-Gilead, Bethlehem, Naza-
reth and GAIA, where a few years
ago no Jew dared show his face,
have now their Jewish quarters and
synagogues.
The whole city Of Jerusalem Is es-
sentially Jewish town. Banking as
well as trade and commerce Is mon
cpolized by Jews. The government
Las found it necessary to organize a
company Of Jewish gendarmes.
Hundreds of thousands Of pounds
are annually sent from Europe and
America to enable the colonists to
build homes, hospitals, schools and
invalid homes. Over one hundred
Jewish schools already exist in Jeru-
salem alone. Synagogues are rising
up everywhere.
The value of the land has risen
four-fold. The ignorant and poverty
stricken fellaheen (peasants) are be-
ing ousted from their homes and vii
lages by the European Jew settler,
whose modern agricultural implc-
ments and methods have made the
land produce harvests never dreamed
of by the natives. The Anglo-Pales-
tine company, a Zionist banking and
commercial enterprise, is pushing the
cause Of Israel with energy.

OH, HONEST BEN!
OF Course Senator Does Not Believe
in Graft"

The Columbia State writes as fol-
lows: When Senator Tillman in a
letter to his daughter-in-law printed
in The State referred to furnishing
him (his SOM the money by way Of
salary for doing nothing almost v
etc., it may not have been clear to
many readers what was meant. 1t
is simply this:
B. R. Tillman, Jr., holds and has
for several years held, the position
of clerk to his fathers committee,
Five Civilized Tribes, which is COM
mittee by senatorial courtesy" 1t
never meets, never has met, was nev-
er expected to meet, and exists only
for the purpose Of giving Senator
Tillman a craftsmanship, which chair
manship carries with it the appoint
ment of a clerk at salary of $4,000
a year and two messengers each at
$1,440 year. Each Senator who
is not the chairman of a committee
has a clerk at $1,000 and 'laborer"
at 5000. In Senator Tillman's case,
he has Just about enough work to
keep one man busy. At present
cne of the positions of messenger"
in his Office is held by J. B. Knight,
a competent and energetic clerk and
stenographer. He does practically
all the work as the Senator's secre-
tary. The other messenger" sends
ont seeds, speeches, etc., and is some
times called out to act as one OF the
numerous doorkeepers Of the Senate.
So that, as Senator Tillman says,
there is nothing almost for his son
to do.
When young Tillman last year
vent out West with the idea of set
Ting out there he resigned his posi-
ton as clerk to the committee, or as
it is usually termed, private secretary
to his father, and Mr.. Knight was
promoted. But when the son decided
to come back again he again became
the $4,000 secretary-clerk, and
knight was denoted to become ines
senger'' at $1,440. These facts are
shown by the Senate records.
There is a good deal here of this
giving positions to men and to wo-
men with good salaries with moth
ing almost" to do. In fact in many
cases, the appointees do not even pre-
tend to do anything. In some cases,
Senator will appoint man as his
secretary and give him the salary of
clerk at $1,000 and give the salary
of "laborer" to the secretary's wife.
In the case of secretary of committee
clerk, the man is usually expected to
work. In other cases, there are per-
ouisites in the way of clerkships,
messengers, laborers and so forth,
which are usually dealt out to
friends, relatives and acquaintances
without scruple, although there are,
of course, some Senators who do say
they would not do such things.
Those that do are usually censured
for it at one time or another.
