eliminated officially from the high

day from Charleston to Asheville,
a distance of 800 miles.
The vice presidents and members
of the managing committee of the

lent condition.

to the county line by the way OF JED
bug. Thence, through Orangeburg
county by way of Orangeburg, thence
to St. Matthews, from st. Matthews
to Columbia by the old Estate Road,
which is to be rebuilt. This route
was selected by unanimous vote. The

It will either be through the
Dutch Fork or by way of LexIng'
ton Court house to Chaplin. Through

number of our citizens. When the
editor of The Times and Democrat
called Thursday afternoon to pay his
respects to the Senator he found four
other gentlemen there on a similar
mission. The Senator was glad to
see all who called, and talked in
terestingly on current subjects.
Thursday afternoon at six o'clock
the Senator and Mrs. Tillman, ac-
companied by Mrs. Claffy, was given
an automobile ride over the city and
suburbs by Mr.. R. Fulton Dukes in
his handsome touring car. The party
was shown all over the city and sur
rounding country and expressed
themselves as delighted with the ride
and what they saw
Senator Tillman looks we'll, but
says he is not strong. He looks af-
ter his farming operations at Tren-
ton. Sometimes he walks about the
fields or rides horseback, but says
the least exercise fatigues him some
what, and he has to be careful. He
confines his reading to the newspa-
pers, and both the Senator and Mrs.
Tillman said The Times and Demo-
crat was one Of their favorites.
Senator and Mrs. Tillman will not
return to Orangeburg from Jedburg,
but will return to their home over
the Southern Railway via Augusta.
The wish is universal among the peo-
pie Of all former factions that the
Senator will soon be rFstored to
realth and become his old self. They

Must Tell How Il Was Spent.

A decision was handed down
By the Supreme Court of this
State quite recently that settled
a disputed question concerning
the corrupt practice act OF 1906,
for the regulation Of money ex.
penditures by candidates for Of.
fee in carrying on their campaign
The case was that OF Judge I'm.
bell, of F'ayette county, who was
elected IN 1909. The Fayette
county court IN a charge prefer.
red against Judge Umbell, for
not having made a full and clear
statement of the expenditure OF
money in his campaign, ruled
that a candidate need not specifi.
cally designate by whom and for
what purposes money used IN 2
campaign was spent. The case
appealed to the Superior Court,
which reversed theFayette courts
ruling. Then the case was ap.
pealed to the Supreme Court
which has just sustained the Su.
perlor Court, so that candidates
must tell specifically for what ob.
jects and purposes their disburse
meuts are made.
