than a year his son, Henry c. Tillman,

position he held so tight grip as to
be able to transfer it to lis law part

Senator Tillmans private secretary,

be appointed or not, and | don't care,
but the point | am trying to make is
that vi. en- Senator Til!man under
takes to make a statement in regard
to this matter, he should not only tell
tie truth but the whole truth
Now, if l lave failed to give due
credit to others of my associates in
congress in tie matter Of the passage
of the district bill, it has been for the
reason that it would have drawn out
this article entirely too long. They
were all sympathetic and active as
far as their time would permit in aid
ing in the passage Of the federal dis
trict bill. Important committee work
claimed tie attention of some while
Mr.. Byrnes and l were engaged on de-
tails, but the delegation was of one
mind for it's passage. Of course M
/ Johnson could not and did not take
part in the work for the passage os
| the bill, as he had had intimation that
he would be endorsed for the judg-
s.. ip. Mr.. Lever was busily engaged
an the committee of conference on
the agricultural appropriation bill, and
could spare but little time from his
work. Mr.. Finley was similarly en-
gagged on the conference committee on
the post Office appropriation bill, but
aided materially in the final passage
of tie bill. Mr. Whaley, with evei.
local reason for opposing the bill, and
against the protest of some o. is home
people, rendered invaluable service in
many ways, and was especially Eelp-
full in a parliamentary way.
Mr.. Johnson was endorsed for judge
by the entire delegation, while ihessrs.
Thurmond and Lyon were named, the
former by Senator Tillman, the latter
by Senator Smith, under an agreement
made at the opening of the Democratic
congress, at South Carolina repre-
sentatiyes should leave the naming =
Statewide officers to tue two senators,
while the senator's should leave the
naming of post masters to the repre-
sentatives. And there l trust you have
at least enough of the story of t e
passage of the district bill to con-
vince you that l was in Washington
when my bill passed, which could
hardly have been inferred from reading
Senator Tillman's published state
ment.
Respectfully,
Wyatt Aiken.

other parties and connected with kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep

recommend that every line connected with us be
overhauled at least year, and that at least

cost of this work when divided among ali the patrons

Warts and Moles
(BY ANTOINET'rE DONNELLY.)

Warts are peculiar little Growths in
the skin that frequently disappear as
oddly as they develop. Sometimes they
will respond TO treatment and again
they won't "budge till they feel like
it," So. If you have tried remedies
without effect YOU need not worry be-
cause there is every chance you will
wake UP some fine morning minus your
pet wart.
In children warts are very common
and appear in numbers usually. But in
adults they usually are single and much
larger than Childrrn's. They stay
longer with the adult than with chill
dren. But like the warts OF children
they disappear quite Unexpectedly.
1, is an extremely rare thing for. a
wart to develop into a dangerous
growth. Only in instances where they
are exposed 10 injury do they give
trouble. They are really only distiSurc-
ments.

Colorless iodine will sometimes re-
move warts Touch the wart night and
morning with It. This application may
after several days make the roughness
peel. If the trouble is deep seated,
however. ii will not have any effect.
The following lotion, IL systematic
ally used. will remove these blemishes:
Salicylic acid one dram; flexible col
lodion, one ounce. Mix we'll. Paint the
wart with camels brush dipped in
this solution twice day for two or
three days without removing the
pedicle. At the end of that time the
wart should be soaked in water and
scrubbed with pumice stone. This will
remove part o: the horny covering.
Continue the treatment until the wart
has disappeared.
Moles are blemishes that should never
be tempered with by inexperienced
hands. lnterCcrcd with ignorantly,
they are the starting point OF cancerous
