dam of the Bayless Pulp and Paper

The only light is the glare of hun

PARENTS AND GIRL
IN THE SAME COLLEGE
Pastor and Daughter Sit In the Same
Glass Rooms.
March IS, 1871.

All winter the Rev. James A. Ian
dis, his wife. Mrs. Ibba Lands, and
their daughter, Chloe. aged eighteen,
have been students at McKendree col
lege, at Lebanon, III. A son, Herbert,
who is thirteen, has attended the
Lebanon public schools. Next term
the boy will join the rest Of the fami-
~ at college.
Father and daughter entered the col
lege together last year. They are TAX
ing the same classic course and sit in
the same class. After three more
years of study, according to their
plans. they will be graduated together.
Mrs. Lands is not working toward
the graduation goal. but expects to
continue in college until her husband
and daughter have finished. taking a
literary and domestic science course.
The boy will take a full five year
course and be graduated.
The early opportunities of the Rev.
Mr.. Lands. who is thirty-nine. for
getting an education were limited. He
was u miller at the time of his mar
rage. Long before he decided to en-
ter the ministry he cherished an am
bition to get an education. He wish
ed particularly to master Greek.

1t was while he was lieutenant gov
ernor that the incident of the Jenkins
SWORD took place. 1t may be recalled
that after all the turmoil and mud
singing in the matter poor Jenkins
refused to accept the sword. He was
in a fair way to he the sole substan-
tial Sufferer hT the incident when one
OF the Gonzales brothers. proprietors
OF the Columbia State. undertook to
raise Il subscription to purchase an
other sword for him. This was done,
and the presentation was made by the
president in the course Of his visit to
the Charleston exposition. Tillman
was said to have been particularly
offended at the action of Gonzales.
Tillman commended that Gonzales
had sent him Il message saying that
he MonZales) had made Tillman show
the white feather twice before and
would make him show it again. At
shooting occurred Tillman went
around with two pistols. He said that
secret information given him by his
friends had convinced him that the
editor would shoot him on sight.
Gonzales was not carrying a weapon
when he was shot. He made no move
to attack or provoke his assailant
when their paths crossed at a street
corner.
Tillman's trial lasted three weeks,
and he was acquitted. 1t might have
been expected that he would start in
to make his career all over again. In
the course Of the trial his family
showed every disposition of kindIiness
toward him. His uncle and wife were
always with him. But the shooting
and the memory of it must have prey
ed on his mind, for he was never the
same man again. Then there were
other circumstances that harassed
him. Many people passed over to the
other side Of the street whenever they
saw him approaching. 1t made him
uncomfortable.
He started a boom for congress, but
it fell through in a way that was not
reminiscent Of the successes of his
previous political career. In 1904 he
wanted to enter the ministry. hoping
by this means to get away from the
stigma which had attached itself to
him. But the church would not re-
ceive him. More and more people put
him under the ban. His relatives
turned away, and finally his wife left
him. He became impoverished. and
when the end came he was in want.

James H. Tillman, ex-lieutenant gov

tuberculosis recently at Asheville, N.
c., came into national prominence on
Jan. IS, 1903, when he shot and killed
N. G. Gonzales, editor of the Columbia
State, because of scathing denuncia-
tons printed in that newspaper.
He was at II time an officer of the
United States army, and his death
brought to a close a career marked by
tumultuous passion and ability of no
mean order. One Of his uncleS was an
officer of the famous Palmetto regi-

B. r. Tillman, and his father, George
d. Tillman, served a term in congress.
At twenty-eight he was commission

the youngest man to reach that rank in
the Spanish war. He was a young man
