has better schools than South Caro-

doctor to her home.
Mrs. Crespy long ago declared hsr
love for the abbe and wrote poems IN
his honor. After he killed himseli
she put on deep mourning and sent
letters to French newspapers IN
which she declared the abbe's SOU
was noble, beautiful, and proud and
his sufferings superhuman. On the
one hand were stern and bitter duty
and sacrifice and torment; on the
other his ever-growing love for me.
She deplored the fact that the b'sn'
op had exiled himself to Montastruc
and declared the abbe had said tna'
such transfer would drive him MAD
Mrs. Crespy urged that the neWspa-
pers hand her over to the cruel
world, but defend his name.

abbe, Mrs. Crespy says they were
about to part when the abbe asked
that she read two Of his faVorlte

tween his hands and said, "My little
love-" Later he started upstairs
with some books to read during his
hours Of solitude, and few minuates
later shot himself through the head

GETS ENTIRE VOTE
NO EFFORT is MADE TO DEFEAT
SENATOR TlLLMAN
DESPITE MANY RUMORS

arateiy, Garry Gut the Nlshes OF
the People Expressed in the Pri-
mary Without Dissenting Voice,
Despite Rumors to tho Contrary.
There vas no whisper Of opposi-
ton Tuesday, and SO far as the Of
icial records will show, the re-elec-
ton Of United States Senator 3. R.
Tiilman was unanimous. Every vote
that was recorded In response to the
call Of the clerk, both in the House
and in the Senate, was for Benjamin
R. Tillnan.
II there was at any time an effort
to organize opposition to Senator
Tillman. it completely "petered out,
and some Of those who seemed to be
most offended by Senator Tillman's
recent communication with refer
ence to alleged Objectionable in
iuences joined in seconding the nom-
ination and recorded their votes in
his favor.
On the House side there were one
hundred and sixteen votes cast, the
other eight members being either abb
sent or out Of the hall at the time.
Speaker Smith. among those absent,
was excused by resolution to attend
the opening exercises Of the Corn Ex'
position, but before leaving the hall
he asked that his vote be recorded
as having been cast for Senator Till
mans reelection
Formal nomination Of Senator
Tillman for reelection was made by
Mr.. Courtney, OF Edgefeld, and in so
doing he spoke briefly OF the SER
vices that had been rendered by SEN
ator Tillmau to the State and nation.
The House and Senate both hav-
ing cast their vote in favor Of the
reelection of Senator Tillman, the
salloting being necessary Tuesday &C.
cording to the Federal statutes. there
is nothing further to be done now,
except having the two houses meet
in joint assembly, when the result
will be formally ratified and Senator
Tillman will, on the fourth Of March,
as tho result of his unanimous re-
election Tuesday, begin his fourth
term as United States Senator from
South Carolina
There was not at any time the
slightest possibility Of the defeat Of
Senator Tillman because the men,
bers of both branches were pledged
to abide by the result Of the primary.
The only thing might have been a
delay, which might possibly nave re-
suited in complications or the tying
ur Of the election by the presenta-
ton of "fayorite sons, but it all
vanished when the showdown came
and all realized that the members
could not have voted against the re-
suit Of the primary whatever may
have been their feeling with refer
ence to the charges that might have
hurt the feelings Of some. All seem
ed to realize that the whole thing Is
the game Of politics.

The spartanburg Journal says
Senator Tillman's reply to a mes
sage OF Blease, submitted to the
general assembly Tuesday, Is a
strong, dignifed and sensible docu-
ment which, in itself, acquits the
senator of at least one Of the Gov
ernor's charges, that Of being OF FEE
bic mind. Senator Tii1man takes up
each Of the Governors charges sep
arately, makes known the real facts
and produces statements and argu-
ments that will convince any think
ing person.
