Wouldn't Invite Tillmnn,
News and Courier.)

This is strange year, record
breaking year" to be sure. Yester-
day the Sena Of grand old South
Carolina declined to invite the Hon.
Benjamin Ryan Tillman to address
that body on the Federal income tax
question. Why? Because Senator
Tillman. 1t was claimed, said in a
speech at Rock Hill that the South
Carolina Senate had been bought by
the corporations. We are making
progress In South Carolina. Ten or
fifteen years ago, the Senate at CO.
lumbia would have esteemed it an
honor to be kicked by Tillman, and
now 1t will not hear him speak upon
question Of great national import
ance, because he said at another
place that the Senate was under the
control Of the corporations. The re-
covery Of South Carolina from the
distemper Of our last revolution has
been slow, but the condition OF the
patient is encouraging, and, as J. T..
B. Stuart's cavalrymen used to sing,
There's a good time coming, boys !;
walt a little longer"

Laurens. Feb. 17.-The livery sta
Dles Of Nichols, Roper & Roper, to-
gether with sixteen head of stock,
the entire stock Of foedstuffs, bug
gies and harness, and several adj
joining and neighboring buildings,
were completely destroyed by fire mt
z o'clock this morning. The cause
or the fire is unknown, although II
is stated that it's origin was in the
rear Of the stable. Before the fire
company could reach the spot, which
Is about two hundred yards from the
city station, the stable was all afiame,
and all efforts to release the horses
ana mules were futile. The doors of
the stable were never opened. Esti-
mating the loss it will probably be
rated as $4,000 fire, with about
$4,000 or $4,000 insurance.

MISS ELllINs SHOOTS HERSELF.
Niece of Senator Flkins, Of West
Virginia, Attempts Suicide.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 17.-A few
hours after giving what she believed
to be farewell parting to a score
of friends, Miss Agnes Leslie Elkins,
26 years old, niece of Senator Ste
phen b. Elkins, Of West Virginia,
to-day attempted suicide by shooting.
The wound, however. will not prove
fatal. In letter addressed to the
newspapers Miss Elkins wrote:
Il simply was tired of life and the
struggle for existence was more than
| could meet"
Friends say that the objection Of
relatives to her choosing q theatrical
career was the cause OF the shooting.

FcrtiEiZing the Garden.
Progressive Farmer.) }

Good vegetables can only be pro-
duced on good land, and no matter
how fertile the lot devoted to the
garden seems to be, you can only
get the best results by heavy manur-
ing and fertilization. Stable manure
Is the standby, but Is not enough
for the best results, for stable ma
nure Is 20 some extent deficient in the
mineral matters, such as phosphoric
acid and potash, that garden vegeta-
bles especially need. So many a man
will tell you that his garden, on
which he has lavished manure, Is too
rich to make potatoes and peas, when
the fact Is that he has merely an en-
cess OF nitrogen and needs acid phos-
phate and potash, and sometimes a
lining.

NINE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Cattle Stolen and Tied to Trees in
Swamp to Starvc.
(News and Courier Specially

st. Matthews, Feb. 16.-One Of
the most brutal evidences of revenge
for q real or imaginary grievance
has come to light during the last few
days in the Sandy Run section of this
county. VIM. S. Saylor, a prosperous
farmer Of that neighborhood, missed
two valuable cows recently, and, be-
coming concerned, made a diligent
search for them and found them Sc
curely tied with ropes TO tree in
the swamps Of Congaree river They
had been there for nine days and
were more dead than alive when dis
covered. Careful nursing and atten-
tion has brought them around, how
ever. Such vandalism should be fer
reted out and the perpetrators made
to suffer the most severe penalty Of
the law.

Columbia, Feb. 15.-Editor Keo-
wee Courier: The Supreme Court
this morning rendered a decision in
which the judgment gives the Gus
tody OF the children to Mrs. B. Il.
.Tillman, Jr. After all of this fuss
and Juror in the newspapers the
Court has held the law to be exactly
what those OF us who, in the minor
! ity, said that it was. My remarks
before the Senate were SO emascu-
nlated by the newspapers that they
|4yere unintelligible, and they have ac-
~tually attributed 20 me several ex-
treme expressions that did not use.
] did not see the use Of changing the
statute that had worked no hardship
FOR more than century. No con-
test ever arises over children when
the parents are living together as
they should do. 1t Is preposterous
to suggest that they will consent or
agree upon the disposition OF the
children when living separate. Peo-
pie who have judged so harshly and
'ieSSAiSb - SISS "oulu. ODSeINt IIC
Golden Rule, would now have a
beautiful and broad opportunity to
apologize. In the light Of the decis-
ion it must now be admitted that the
statute which has been so brutally
assailed has served, and would If al
lowed to continue, serve good pur-
pose. 1t Is only in case Of unfltness
Of the parents that II operates.
Well, In the cornfield vernacular,
we have put the tiXings on the man
that gets married. An act has Just
passed that makes 1t misdemeanor
for man to fail to provide his wife
and minor or dependent children
with sufficient support. 1t makes
no provision for the support Of these
dependent ones while the man is
working on the gang for two years.
one fortunate feature Is that 1t does
not provide how much meat and
bread and clothing shall be held to
be sufficient, and thus allows the
jury some latitude. 1t used to be
contracts and laws in restraint Of
marriage were null and void. Might
not that be a proper decision for a
law Of this kind?
The ratification Of the 10th amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States comes up to-day. This
provides that Congress may levy a
tax on incomes and inheritances
without apportioning the same
among the States according to pop
ulation. The Constitution now al
lows Congress to levy this kind of
tax, but it must be aDportioned
among the States according to pop
ulation. The effect Of this would be
according to Senator Bailey, to COL
lect SIS from incomes where only
one would be collected in New York.
While the Eastern States draw all
of their wealth from the whole coun-
try they would pay only very small
pro rata Of the tax. The effect Of
the amendment Is to tax the in
comes in the Eeastern States the
same per centum as that Of the
other States.

Some of la Sales Relies.
(LOuisville Courier-Journal.) }


A number of ancient relics have
been found from time to time during
the last few years upon the site of
old Fort st. Louis, which La Sale,
the noted French explorer, and his
band Of adventurers erected upon the
east bank of the Navidad river, Just
above where Port Lavaca is now sit
uated, In 1856. One Of these his
toric reminders Of the visit of the
famous explorer IS cross which is
made of iron. 1t was found several
feet beneath the surface near the
bank Of the river. II is now in pos
session Of Harry Bickford, of Port
Lavaca.
1t was from Fort st. Louis that
La Sale started upon his ill-fated
expedition into the interior in search
of the Mississippi river. He entered
Pass Cavallo and explored Matagorda
bay In the original belief, 1t IS said
that 1t was here that the Mississippi
river emptied It's broad waters. He
spent some time in exploring the
coast of this section and then went
up the Navidad river ten miles and
there built his little fort. The site
OF this first settlement Is full Of
beauty.
