MAKES PECULIAR FIND.
MIR. George Salley Finds Flask IF
Whskey in a Tree.

While cutting down a tree on his
premises recently, Mr.. George SAL
ley, well-known and prosperous
farmer residing near this city, made
a most unusual find. Mr.. Salley no.
ticed something shining in one of the
chips that flew off. He found it to
be a piece of glass that came from
within the tree. The small piece OF
glass was Clipped off bottle which
was embedded in the tree and the
bottle was full of very fine whis-
key. The tree had a peculiar growth.
Three branches grew out about six
feet above the ground, making at
one time small ledge. Mr.. Salley's
theory is that the quart Of whiskey
was placed in this place during the
war by some one who was either in
toxicated at the time and forgot it
or had been killed. The branches OF
the tree grew completely together
completely enclosing the bottle

Mrs. Tillman May Sue Husband.

Columbia, June 7.-Another legal
battle is about to be Joined between
Senator Tillman's family and his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lucy Dugas
Tillman, of Edgefield, who gained
such a signal victory over the Sena-
tor and his son last winter before the
supreme court in the fight for the
possession of Mrs. Tillman's two lit
tie daughters.
Edgefeld relatives of Mrs. Tillman
say Attorneys DePass and DePass, of
Columbia, have been employed to il
stitute suit against young B. R. Till
man to recover money he is said to
have squandered out of her, estate and
sums which he is said to have bor-
rowed from her and collected from
her rents to the extent of about $751;
600, and that while he is possessed of
practically no property, it is hoped to
make Senator Tillman pay the judg-
ment if one can be secured.
1t is known that a representative OF
the law firm mentioned was in Edge
field recently in conference with Mrs.
Tillman on the subject of bringing
this suit, but when asked to-day
whether the papers had been filed in
court, he said that the complaint had
not been drawn and would not be
until after the firms rush of business
was over with court here in Rich
land, that as a matter of fact, it was
not yet determined in what amount
the suit would be brought.

WILL r1LLMAN RESIGN?
Washington Newspaper Prints Story
About Senior Senator.

Washington D. c., June 6.-The
Washington Star this evening prints
the following story in regard to Sena-
tor B. R. Tillman: Friends of Sena-
tor Tillman in Washington are pre-
dieting his resignation unless his
health so improves that he is able to
return for the next session of Con-
gress.
Reports are circulated around the
Capitol to the effect that he has de-
cided, on account of ill-health, not to
be a candidate for reelection two
years hence. Several who are known
to be close to him mere say that it
is too early to discuss the probabilities
Of his candidacy. Senator Tillman
has often been heard to say, they re-
port, that if his health prevented
him from attending to his duties as
a member of the Senate he would
relinquish them. But he is known to
be hopeful of recovery from his re-
cent illness to allow him to be in his
seat next winter.
Nothing definite could be learned
in Washington to-day. Senator Smith,
Of South Carolina, Mr.. Tillman's col
league, is among his constituents de-
livering commencement addresses,
and Senator Tillman's secretary has
not been in Washington for some
time"

Tales About Tillman.

Washington, June 6.-Every now
and then a rumor starts around in
the press of these Washington and
New York parts about Senator Till
man. Either he will resign or he IS
determined not to run again. Again,
to-day as I arrive in Washington, the
first thing that confronts me is the
story printed in several Washington
papers this afternoon and in New
York paper this morning that the
senior South Carolina senator is
about to resign. 1t is but step fur
ther from the speculative idea that he
will not run for reelection in 1912.
Some of Senator Tillman's most
intimate friends did state here at the
time of his last supposed stroke Of
paralysis that even before that he
had made up his mind not to be a
1candidate for. the senate again. That,
however, was not an announcement
by the senator hlmSelf.
Upon investigation as to the
source of basis of this rumor print
ed to-day, I learn that it is that state
ment made by the senator's friends
of his intention not to run again,
and so far as can be ascertained that
is all there is to it.
Two weeks ago myself saw a let
ter from Senator Tillman to men,
Der Of the naval affairs committee
in which he stated that he expected
to be back in his seat before the
close of this season. From that 1t
can be inferred that whatever others
may think about his condition, the
senator himself at that time at least
thought there was no reason why
he should resign.

CRUM TO BE MINISTER.
Colored Physician Expresses Sur
Prise at News of Nomination.

DR.. w. D. Crum, who was collector
of the port of Charleston during Pres
ident Roosevelt's administration,
stated last night that he had received
no official notification of his nomina-
ton by President Taft to be minister
and consul general at Monrovia, Lii
IBERIA. DR.. Crum stated that he knew
nothing whatsoever about the matter,
except what he had seen in the news
papers, and that news of his nomi-
nation by the President came as a
complete surprise to him.
The following dispatch, announe-
ing the nomination of DR.. Crum, was
received by The News and Courier
last night:
Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE
announcement made here to-day that
DR.. w. D. Crum, of Charleston, had
been appointed by President Taft to
be minister to Liberia and consul
W hOulOfld, uIu uoI CouC oS q SuA
prise, as it had been understood for
some time that he was to be given
good federal appointment for having
been ousted from the collectors place
at Charleston. The new place is
worth $4,000 a year. DR.. Crum will
succeed Ernest J. Lyon, the present
official at Monrovia. AS minister, DIR.
Crum will occupy a high place in the
Liberian country, and no doubt will
find welcome from the natives
awaiting him when he arrives
there in the near future. Crum's ap-
pointment as collector of the port of
Charleston, his recess" appoint
ments, and his retention of Office due
to the effort of former President
Roosevelt are now ancient history.
The fact, however, that DR.. Crum is
to be given official duty in a distant
part of the world shows that he still
has hold on the Administration,
and is to receive compensation for
having given way to Collector Du-
rant.

Negro Kills Another.

Aiken, June 6.-Ben Harper has
been committed to the Aiken jail on
the charge of murder. 1t is alleged
that on Sunday night he shot and
killed Frank Jackson. Both are ne
groes. The facts in the case became
known to-day at the court house. The
inquest was held Sunday afternoon
by Magistrate Merchant, of Langley.
The killing occurred at Jacksonville,
a suburb of Langley.
1t is said that Saturday night hot
supper was in progress. After it was
over Ben Harper told Frank Jackson
that he would like for him to go to
his room, which he did. Two other
negroes went with them. In his room
Harper pulled out pistol and laid
it on the bureau. Jackson, seeing it,
inquired of Harper where he got it,
and asked to see it. Harper picked
up the weapon, which was a 32-cali-
bre, and putting it within eight
inches of the others face, fired, re-
marking simultaneously, "See it," A.
ter the deed had been accomplished
he remarked: - -- reckon
you see it now." Harper ran out of
the room past the other negroes, and
had gotten a distance of 200 yards
from the house, when he was sur
rounded by a party of negroes, who
were armed with guns. Harper still
had his pistol with him, it is said, and
his pursuers were agraid to go up to
him. However, they held him at
bay, and notified the constable, who
hastened to the scene and arrested
Harper, who had, in the meantime,
thrown the pistol away.
The ball struck Jackson a half inch
from the centre of the forehead, kill
ing him instantly. 1t is said that
Harper said a week before the killing
that he intended killing Jackson, and
now it appears that he lured him to
his room for the purpose. He claims
that it was accidental, but witnesses
say otherwise.

W. D. Schmuck. of Dolphin. was
Friday Harbor visitor the first of the
week Mr.. Schmuck has the contract
for carrying the mail across the bay
from Rosario to Dolphin. but says
that he will gladly surrender his job
at any time. or as soon as the regular
mail boat can be induced to call
there. He receives for his work
81. 90 per day. Or per trip. which or
dinarily takes up most Of his time
each forenoon and does not allow him
sufficient time to look after his farm
work. The pay. he says. is not suffi-
Gent to warrant him in continuing to
do the work, and it il only for the
reason that it has seemed necessary
in order to maintain the Office at
Dolphin that he has kept it up so
long as he has. Like everyone else
in his nelghborhood he is much dis
appointed because the post Office de-
partment did not include Dolphin on
the route of the steamer islander
when the new bids for mail service
were called for. The people On the
west side Of East Sound inlet have
waited long and patiently for steamer
mail service and naturally feel that
they are entitled to it now that they
have postoff1ce established and g
good dock.
