TILLMAN, JONES AND BLEASE.
All Mt State Fair, Greeting Friends
and Supporters.

Columbia, Nov. 2. Special:
Senator Tillman spent yesterday in
Columbia attending the meetings of
the Clemson board of trustees and
taking in the Fair. He returned
Iome to-day.
The Senator was everywhere
greeted by his friends, who were
glad to see him looking SO well.
the politicians on all sides, but if
he talked politics at all it was not
for publication. When asked con
cerning the race for Governor, he
said that he had said all he was
going TO say now. To his friends
it appeared that he was watching
the approaching contest between
Governor Blease and Chief Justice
Jones, as an experienced prize
fighter would watch a contest be-
tween two other contestants, in po-
sition to pass expert opinion upon
the tactics and the movements of
both men.

was learned that number of in
fluential men, who in days of fac
ticnalism were prominently known
as anti-Tillmanites, individually and
without concert of action, assured
the Senator that he is their choice
for the Senate, irrespective of who
else may be in the race.
Senator Tillman talked more ag-
Ticulture than politics, while he
was in Columbia. He is deeply in
terested in his farm. He still walks
with a slight limp, but his general
health appears to be excellent, and
his brain is as quick and incisive

New 1ork.-A discovery whereby
epidemic spinal meningitis can be
entirely cured was announced by
DR.. Simon Flexner, director of the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research, at the closing session OF
the conference of sanitary officers
OF New York State here to-day. The
control could be established, DR..
FleXner said by injecting serum in
to the cerebro spinal membrane,
thus getting at the seat of the dis
ease.
1T has taken much money and
long time to perfect this cure
said DR.. Flexner. This is the

GAFFNEY PARseN ARRESTED.
Methodist Preacher Is Accused of
Writing Letter to Young Woman
In Atlanta.

Atlanta, Nov. 2.-Rev. w. c..
Ferrell a Methodist minister who
came here recently from Gaffney, S.
c.. has been arrested and placed in
jail here as a result of having
written to a young woman of this
city a letter in which he asked
TO make her acquaintance with a
view to commit matrimony."
When given a hearing in the po-
lice court the minister admitted au-
thorship of the letter but the case
was dismissed, the judge saying he
knew of no law which the minister
had violated.
The arrest was made by detectiv-
es, who accompanied the young wo-
man to the place designated in the
letter as the place of meeting. The
minister described himself in the let
ter as an English gentleman
romantically inclined" but he told
the court he had never lived in
England.

ever remembered, is the one best
route to India, which is the most pre-
cious and jealousy guarded jewel in
the crown of British empire.
Although touched in every way by
the influences Of new life-railways,
steamships, literature, newspapers
schools, travel and free speech, Egypt
remains in some respects the most
reactionary country on the globe. It
is intensely Moslem, and it witnesses
outbreaks Of fanaticism which show
that almost anything is possible at
any moment in Egypt. When the
sacred carpet for Mecca left Alexan-
dria last year there was an unpro.
voked and unexpected attack upon in
offensive Europeans, merely because
they were Christians. 1t is known
that the Sennoussi movement. which
has its headquarters and stores of
arms at Jerabub, an oasis in the des-
ert, is powerfully represented in
Cairo, and has its teachers in Ell
Azhar, to infiame the fanaticism of the
students against the Christians. For
the old, old Moslem dream of world
conquest has never been given up, and
the signs are that its point of out
break will be this same new.old city
of Cairo.

Was It Coming or eoins2

The train was reported forty min
utes late, and after the time had
elapsed a would-be passenger in,
quired: "How late is that train?"
"oh, about an hour late"
The hour passed and the query was
repeated.
We'll, they'll be about an hour and
twenty minutes late here"
Patience reigned until the query
was justly renewed, and the railroad
man replied: well, sir, think that
train Will be near two hours late"
Whereupon the passenger said:

which way that train is going?"

to desire reduction of the students

state, and are really useless. 1t is
from the village and mission schools
that the new life of Egypt is coming.

students will henceforth have to learn
such revolutionary teachings as that

of the Prophet.
Americas Unique Place in Egypt.
In sharp contrast to Ell Azhar are
the schools, little and big, scattered
over Egypt, which are commonly
known as American schools, or, more
specifically, as American mission
schools. These are feature of the
work of the United Presbyterian
churcn's mission in Egypt, which has
almost a monopoly of the mission
work in this country. In the educa-
tional department they have upwards
of 10000 students, and these are scat
tered through all grades of schools,
from village day schools to the really
remarkable college at Assiut. All
sorts of observers, from Lord Cromer
and Mr.. Roosevelt to everyday Off
cials and travellers, have credited
these schools with being potent fac
