BROTHER VS BROTHER.
Senator Tillman Rebuked for His
Attack on a Fallen Foe. |
Columbia, S. G\, S-qit. 18.—The ,
| proceeding* of the constitutional,
convention today was characterized ,
hy am< st exciting tilt between j
Senator Tillman and his brother,
I George D Tillman, on the ques- !
tion of naming a new county, j 1
; Georgo Tillman on Saturday had!
j succeeded in getting the county ;
'named Butler. Senator Tillman !'
| was absent at the time, and re
! turning t< day ho moved to change
the name to Sa uda. In a passion
late speech he charged Senator Sut
ler with being a traitor to the
party, nnd add that to name a
county after him was an insult to
the reformers of the state.
Go rgo D. Tillman in reply tax
ed his brother with fighting a man
whom no had defeated, and, drati
j nticnlly striking his breast, ex
! claimed: “Thank God! thero is
no sentiment in my heart that
would make me stoop so low!”
The scene became extremely ex
citing, and tho convention was in
wild confusion, which continued
until adjournment at 4:10 p. m.
Senator Tillman in his speech
taunted Senator Irby with not re
plying to his brother, G. D. Till
man, on Saturday, and Irby in a
Shot speech denounced Tillman for
! stirring lip strife in the convention
and said it came with ill grace
from a man to hound his foe, and
declared that Butler in patriotism
honesty »nd courage was the equal
of Tillman or any other man in
the state.
When a vote was finally obtain
ed Sonator Tillman carried his
point, and tho new county was
named Saluda instead of Butler,
by a vote of 80 to 54.

There is a curious romance in
terwoven into the life of the Bbl!
family, best known for their con
nection witn the telephone. Mrs.
Bell is totdly deaf and was conse
quently, for many years a mute.
Her father was a very wealthy
man who sent her finally to a
school for such afflicted folk.
There she became acquainted with
her future husband, at that time
one of the instructors under whose
tuition she came. They fell in
love and were eventually married
and tho money which Mrs. 801 l
brought with her enabled the in
ventor to establish himself in the
world. They now have a charm
ing home and a summer resilience
on tho lakes which is almost per
fect in its situation and its ap
pointments. It is presided over
by a lovely woman, wh > gives
strangers no hint of her infirmity.
She takes a ready part in all con
versation, having been taught to
speak and having learned to road
the speech of t thers from tho mo
tion of their lips.—New York

What use is therein eatingwhen
food does you no good—in fact,
when it does you more harm than
good, for such is tho case if it is
not digested.
If you have a loathing for food
there is no use in forcing it down,
for it will not be digested. You
must restore the digestive organs
to their natural strength and cause
the food to be digested when an
appetite will come, and with a rel
ish for food.

several had to leave the table on
account of Violent sickness. At
first nothing was thought of it,
but they grew rapidly worse and
since then six have died. There
are many rumors as to the causes
of their death. The most reason
able being that tho pies in tin
plates were made a day or two be
foro they were eaten. Forty-one
were poisoined, and as stated, six
have died, with tho chances against
several more.

Evory farmer who farms is sure
of a living, which is more than
can be said of many of the other
avocations of this busy world, but
one of the greatest mistakes made
is that almost anybody is fit for a
farmer. A man who does succeed'
at anything else will not make a
good farmer, which accounts for
so many failures in agriculture
and the oft-repeated howl that
farming does not pay.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
Absolutely pure
A Wreck on Life’s Ocean.
The local columns of the News
tells of the confinement of John
N. Reynolds in the insane asylum
of Kansas. Since that item was
put in type the Atlanta Constitu
tion brings the announcement of
his death.
Reynold’s story is a sad one.
He was a man of ability, and many
regarded him as a genius. Hand
some, magnetic and gifted with
eloquence, he became a popular
minister and newspaper writer
early in life. But he was easily
tempted, and in his weakness he
transgressed the law and was
sent to the lowa state prison,
When he was released he again re
turned to newspaper work and the
pulpit, and met with groat success
in his labors.
Again the unfortunate man fell
and this time was sent to the Kan
sas penitentiary from the home of
John Ingalls on the charge of li
beling some of his political oppo
nents in his paper. He had so
many friends and sympathizers,
however, that while still a convict
he was elected state senator. Os
course he did not serve in that po
sition, but his election advertised
him throughout the country. Com
ing out of the penitentiary he
abandoned journalism and the
ministry and tried to make money
out of his record. 110 wrote a book
on his life in tho two prisons en
titled “Twin hells,” and fitted up
a stylish equipage and sold tho
volume on the streets of numerous
western and southern towns, inclu
ding Dawson in his itinerary.
The ox-preacher and journalist
in convict stripes became widely
known, and he made monoy rapid
ly selling his book and lecturing,
but his tortured and overworked
brain gave way, and the poor fel
low was sent to an asylum, where
he spent his remainingyears under
tho delusion that he was a preach
er, editor, lecturer and salesman.
He spoke day and night until
quibted by opiates, and finally
these ceased to be of any use, and
death came to his relief.
Truly, tho way of the transgres
sor is very hard.—Dawson News,

to the needy, “caring not for her
own things but for the things' of
others.” Sho was laid to rest in
tho graveyard near Perennial Bap
tist church. Her funeral was
preached by tho writer of this no
tice, to a largo concourse of people
who had met for tho purpose of
paying the last tribute of respect,
to one whom they had learned to
love and honor. Sho left one son
behind, whose eyes had not beheld
the face of his mother for 27 years,
though tho natural vision had been
closed so long, from beholding the
face of a loved mother, yet ho has
a hope that by and by, with spirit
ual eyes ho will behold bor, whore
nothing will ever obscure the
vision. She leaves two daughters
behind to mourn her loss, and
many friends, and relatives. One
brother in the flesh whom she had
outstriped in tho race just a little.
Grieve not dear children, though
mother is gone, you can soon meet
her in the sweet byo and live.
