He lived hermit's life in a tent
last summer and later went to Ashe-
Vile, N Gin the hope that the noun
taiu climate might restare him to
health. The malady did not, how

Col Tillnah's star began to wane
in 1908, when he shot down and kill
ed Mr. Gonzales, who was editor of
the Columbia State; as a. result of
editorial attacks made upon him.
Mr. Gonzales was unarmed and was
taken by surprise and the killing
aroused great Indignation.
Through change of venue Col
Tillman was tried in Lexington coun-

but since then he has been Stunned
by many who formerly We're friendly
to him. He sought to enter the

Lake City, January 25:-Mr Otto
Floyd, who is attending lectures al

spent Sunday in town.
DR. A H Williams and little daugh.
ter, Leone, spent Sunday in Sumter
Messrs E NJ Rodgers and T G An.
derson have formed a partnership
under the firm name of Rodgers &
Anderson, and will engage in the
manufacture of lumber Of all kinds.
They have purchased several lots
of timber near the intersection of
the Lake City and Georgetown roads
at Mr. T S Lees place, and will put
up their mill among these lots of
timber.
Mr. Goo C Haselton spent Satur-
day in Kingstree on business.
Mr. S Lucas has resigned his
position as assistant cashier ofsbuHk
of Lake CITY, and accepted a like
position in the Peoples Bank, Of
Darlington. He left Wednesday for
his new home. ALL who knew him
regret his going away, and hope the
change will be for his benefit. The
place made vacant in the Bank Of
Lake City by his resignation has
been filled by the election of Mr.
Murray Severance, who has been as
sistant agent of the Coast Line at
this place quite while. He is here
among people who have known him
all his life, even from his cradle, and
all have unlimited confidence in his
uncompromising honesty and ale
satisfied that, with experience, he
will be found fully competent to
discharge every duty devolving upon
him.
Mr. H F Fnegan has given up his
dock &C assistant cashier of the Far
mers and Merchants Bank to go to
Lamar, as the cashier of the Bank
of Lamar. Mr. Finnegan changes
places only because it is pro-
motion-a step up-and not on ac-
count of any dissatisfaction or disa-
greement. On the contrary his SER
vices here were entirely satisfactory
and the position pleasant, but when
the opportunity came for a higher
office, he felt it a duty to respond.
Mr. ID Duke went to Kingstree
Monday and spent the day there on
business.
Are there no Mormons elsewhere
than in Utah?
The trustees are getting matters
in shape to build an addition to the
school building. This will be in ac-
cordance with the original plans.
which provided for an extension in
the center of the rear of the main
building, and will cost Somewhere
in the neighborhood of S6,0OO.00.
1t will be of the same style Of archi-
lecture as the main building and in
entire harmony Herewith, and not a
ridiculous mixture of different styles
as is found in some public buildings.

expected that additional tariff
legislation, including free
wool, is yet to come. Such
measures as these will meet
certain death in the Senate.
Statehood for New Mexico
and Arizona is bound to bring
out a bitter fight and there is
certain to be a battle for sup
remacy among the elements
of both parties, having posi-
tive views regarding the mer-
it's of the provisions in the Ar
iona Constitution, in refer
ence to the recall of judges
a principle which has been
bitterly assailed time and
again, and even during the
past week by President Taft.
The controversy will extend
to the different principles in
the Arizona document nrOvid-
ing for the initiative and ref
erendum. Appearances are
that these questions will pre-
cipitate a sort of free for all in
the Senate, where the state
hood bills are scheduled to ar
rive within a few days. Har-
mony is a word that does not
exist in the United Senate, as
that body is constituted at
the present time, and the re-
suit is that it is unsafe to pre-
dict the fate of any legislation

Y HERE is ANYTHING
" but harmony in the
United States Senate

as the division among the Re-
publicans seem daily to be-
come more marked. 1t will
be remembered that the pro-
gressives protested against
the manner in which the COM
nittees we're made up, and to
emphasize their protest war
was declared upon Senator
Gallinger who had been Sc
lected for the position of Pres
ident pro TEN. At the pres
ent time the House of Repre-
sentatives is waiting upon the
Senate, ard it can hardly be
affirmed that the latter body
has succeeded in getting down
to business, even though sew
eral weeks have elapsed since
the reconvening of Congress.
The Republicans seem to be
farther apart than ever, and
it is plainly apparent that no
unity of action can be secured
among the membership of the
party in the Senate. All the
big bills are still practically
untouched, and no one can
safely predict that a single
matter constituting the big
legislation that is to come up
later, will command the uni
fed Republican vote. The
Democrats are a little closer
together but nevertheless
there are marked divisions in
the membership of that party
i'll the Senate. 1t begins to
look as though the country
must spend the entire sum-
mer listening to Senators of
the different creeds tell of
their woes. The only import
ant piece of legislation that
seems to have been cleared is
that providing for the election
Of United States Senators by
direct vote of the people, and
the probabilities are that Sen
ator Borah's resolution will
pass. Canadian reciprocity
has already been bitterly as
sailed by number of Sena-
tors who are waiting to renew
their objections upon the
floor. Protests of the strong
est kind are being urged
against the measure before
the committee, and the strong
est power in opposition comes
from the farmers. Before
this measure went to the
Senate, Mr.. Cummins of Iowa
outlined his position in a
speech made in New York, in
which he said that he would
attempt to amend the meas
ure. The progressives in the
House were among the strong
est factors in opposition to the
bill, and their course indicates
quite clearly that the treaty in
its present form will be vigor-
ously assailed by the same
branch of the Republican
party in the Senate. There
are even those who are pre-
dieting that the treaty will
fail in the upper Chamber,
but the larger number of peo-
pie state that it will pass in
some form. The Democratic
