The Yorkville Enquirer Is the recipi-
ent Of what was probably one Of the
last letters written by Senator T1llman.
The letter is dated June "a, the day
the senator suffered the stroke OF pa
ralysis that ended his life, and II was
received last Saturday. 1t would have
received attention in The Enquirer vi
Tuesday; but was crowded cut BY all
that political mess which was then
claiming all the space that was avail
able and more. The senator's letter,
with enclosure, follows:
The Letter.
UNITED STATES SENATE
Committee On Naval Affairs
June %. 1918.
Editor Yorkville Enquirer:
l enclose you copy OF letter Just
received from u man in Staunton, Nir-
ginia, asking for some information,
which | hope you can give me 10 sehu
him. II you yourself cannot furnish
the facts in the case, by publishing
Brockway's letter. perhaps, some MS
tory student, who is familiar with Tar
leton's work US u partisan leader, can
suggest where to find II. l know you
will agree with me in wishing that
England had in France ut the head vi
her cavalry several Tarletons at TINS
time. He was tireless in his energy,
and very cruel In his disposition, being
an ultra tory or loyalist In his ideas.
Yours sincerely.

less than they mated BieaSe; but not
to the people who were most likely
to vote for Tillman because of old
sentiments and traditions.
The effect Of this letter was OF but
small harm to Blease. but Of great po-
litical benefit to Tillman because II
brought him the votes of thousands
of his former political opponents who
could not have been induced to vote
for him under any other circumstan-
ces. At the same time, however there
is reason to believe that this act es-
tranged from him many former sup
porters who would have voted against
him now. II he had lived.
The biggest things that Senator
Tillman has ever done for his state
are:
/. The arousing of a spirit OF de-
mocracy by teaching the people their
right to the use of the ballot.
=. The establishment of Clemson
college.
8. The development of Winthrop
college.
The most harmful thing that Sen
ator Tillman ever did. as well as the
most reprehensible was the establish
ment of the dispensary system. while
he was under promise to give the
state prohibition.
But with 1t all. there Is no doubt
about the fact that Senator Tillman
was a most remarkable man, and
while it Is not to be denied that there
has been much evil in his life, let us
all hope that the good he has done
will outweigh all the evil that Is to
! be charged against him.

BRILLIANT WORK OF AMERICANS

Marne-Heavy Losses

On the French Front i'm France
1t was brilliant operation in which
the American troops elected the en-
emy from the positions he had gained
temporarily on the southern side of
the Marne. The Americans counter
attacked vigorously this evening with
remarkable dash, throwinfi the Ger
mans back across the river near Fos-
soy.
Earlier in the day this part of the
line had been the scene of the most
desperate fighting when the Grmans
started to throw pontoons across the
steram. A few German elements at
first succeeded in getting over in
boats, chasing the Allied troops away
from the banks while the German en-
gneers began to lay the bridges. Six
of these bridges formed a lattice
work and rapidly Joined the banks
on either side. Two Of the bridges
were most substantial structures and
between 20 and 80 feet in width.
French airplanes played great hay
oc IN the German ranks while the
Drldges were under construction. One
bombing squadron flying at height
OF 2O0 meters, dropped bombs on two
OF these bridges while enemy troops

broken and the soldiers thrown in

bombed the other bridges and did
great execution among the Germans

"hcre the enemy was concntratd in

When the Germans had crossed the
river the fighting, which already was
heaVY, became terrific. The French
ard Americans holding the southern
side. fell back on to their principal
combat positions. They fought all the
way and comtcr-atta occasional

the advancing foe.

WILL CURTAIL BRICK MAKING
No Materials Will Be Used in Manu-
fa>tIne That Are Essential
to the War

Washington, July: 16,-The brick
r;;oi1I a~turers ); the CO 'rtry have
pledged the War Industries Beard
that The manufacture of brick will he
turtailed ifa possible and that no ma
tcrlals will be used in the manufacture
OF brick that are essential to the war.
There are 1000 or more manufacture
ers Of the brick in the United. 1t was
found that with the exception of the
zones north Of the Potomac, east of
the Allegheny Mountains, including
New England, that the shortage of
coal and distribution in deliveries hvvc
not, beeen sufficiently serious to dis
turb manufacturing In other sections.
however, the output was materially
reduced during the past fey months on
account Of the lack Of labor. It was
decided that the necessity was appar-
Mt to curtail all uses that would not
interfere with the war program of
the government, and to give attention
only to those demands Of the civilian
population which are imperative or
essential. The manufacturers have
agreed to supervise all uses to which
their products are to be put to guard
against it's being consumed in any de-
ferable class. The representatives of
the Priorities Board have agreed to
give all brick manufacturers favor
able consideration in their effors to
ship brick for war purposes.
