SENATOR HUMAN HE': IN THIS CITY LAST WEDNESDAY, i 1 1 Spent Thursday in the City, Went to Pour Holes Friday, and Will Go to Jedburg Today. Senator B. R. Tillman arrived in on last Wednesday afternoon at six o'clock. He came over the Southern railway and was accompanied by Mrs.

Tillman. They went immediately to the hospitable home of Capt. J. H. Cllaffy, on Sellers Avenue, where they will be entertain-" ed during their stay in this city.

On Friday Senator Tillman attended the military picnic at Four Holes given by the Tillman Volunteers, -which company was named for the Senior Senator. Wnile on the grounds Senator Tillman met many of his eld friends, who were delighted to see him once more. He shook hands with many people, but made no speech. This morning Senator Tillman will go to Jedburg to attend the meeting of the South Carolina Agriculturat Society and the general agricultural gathering to be held at the South Carolina Experiment station, located at that place. The Senator loins well, but says he lacks the old time strength and vigor.

Senator Tillman says he will not attempt to make a speech anywhere. "I may get up and say he said Wednesday afternoon, when he was asked what he was going to Bpeak about. "I will just tell the folks I am glad to be there, something along that line, but no speeches for me. I do not feel in condition to speak." When asked how he felt the Senator repeated his previous remarks that it was surprising, although he thought he looked well, he did not feel equal to his old task. In a former interview Senator Tillman remarked that he just couldn't understand why this should be.

Mrs. Tillman said the Senator should keep quiet and rest and do only te thingB he to do without exerting himself all. Senator Tillman is thinking more on farm topics than on politics f-X this time. He watched the crops as he rode from Columbia to Orangeburg and frequently made remarks to those with whom he talked the crop conditions. At his own home and around about Senator Tillman said that cotton was in fine shape, but the corn showed the effeci of the drought As is well known, Senator Tillman, Is a planter and takes especial interest in his own farm.

Some time ago he gave his experience in cattle raising and from time to time he has spoken and written upon agricultural topics. When 'asked if he wa3 going to Washington at all during the special session Senator Tillman said: "No, not unless they wire me come. I told them that if it was felt that I was needed there I would go; otherwise I will not go to Washington during the special session of Senator Tillman said it looked as If the reciprocity bill will pass the Senate all right. The Senator in the course of conversation with several persons aboard the train did not discuss politics very much. The Senator and Mrs.

Tillman left Trenton early Wednesday. They will return Monday probably going by automobile through the country. Senator Tillman has made several long trips through the country in an automobile. He rode seventy miles to attend the funeral of his old friend, the Jate Col. Thos.

B. Crews, of Laurens, a short time ago-. Senator Tillman visited Orangeburg about three years ago on the invitation of the ladles to deliver his famous lecture on the race question. He has hot been here since that time. The Senator had many callers while here from his friends, who simply called on him to pay their respects.

The people of Orangeburg, in common with all the people, hope to see the Senator restored to complete health at no distant day. I Thursday officers of the chamber of commerce and its executime committee, consisting of John Cart, president; W. L. Moseley, vice president; A. H.

Marchant, commercial secretary; W. P. Fairey, J. W. Smoak, Sol Kohn and T.

J. Hayden, accompanied by State Senator Robert Lide, called on Senator Tillman at the residence of Capt J. H. daffy. During the Senator's short stay in this city he was called on by a number of our citizens.

When the editor of The Times and Democrat called Thursday afternoon to pay his Tespects to the Senator he found four other gentllemen there on a similar mission. The Senator was glad to see all who called, and talked interestingly on current subjects. Thursday afternoon at six o'clock the Senator and Mrs. Tillman, accompanied by Mrs. Claffy, was given an automobile ride over the city and suburbs by Mr.

R. Fulton Dukes in his handsome touring car. The party was shown all over the city and surrounding country and expressed themselves as delighted with the ride and what they saw Senator Tillman looks well, but says he is not strong. He looks after his farming operations at Trenton. Sometimes he walks about the fields or rides horseback, but says the least exercise fatigues him somewhat, and he has to be careful.

He confines his reading to the newspapers, and both the Senator and Mrs. Tillman said The Times and Democrat was one of their favorites. Senator and Mrs. Tillman will not return to Orangeburg from Jedburg, but will return to their home over the Southern Railway via Augusta. The wish is universal among the people of all former factions that the Senator will soon be restored to realth and become his old self.

A FAMILY AFFAIR" WELL M.

MAUPIN'S BIGGEST BOY GETS MARRIED. The Busy Editor Moralizes Somewhat About It in His Department of The Commoner. Will M. Maupin tells about the marriage of His Biggest Boy as follows in the Commoner: Married, at the home of the bride's mother, on Saturday, Louis Blaine Maupin and Miss Ruth Rosa. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal couple took the train for Baggs, where the groom has groom has already prepared the home already prepared the home nest and where they will reside in future.

Just 23 years ago next November he, who Is now the "biggest boy," made his -appearance in a little cottage in Fairfleld, Neb. It doesn't seem that long to the is, not until he takes a surreptitious peep into the glass and sees a lot of grey hairs and a network of wrinkles. The Architect has had about as many experiences as the average man, but this is the first time ho stood around and saw one of his own children "jump the broomstick." It's a peculiar sensation, Isn't it, you grayhaired boys and giTls who have chilren and grand-children of your own? Now, if the "biggest boy" has captured as big a prize as his dad captured when he trapped the Little I believe he is going to discover mighty quick that he hasn't been living up to merely existing. How I could write into words the feelings that swept across my heart when i saw the Biggest Bot stand up and vow to love and cherish the charming girl who had given into his keeping her future life. A flood of memories swept over me.

I saw in my mind's eye a little cottage away back there in '88; I recalled the joy that swept over me when I heard the first wailing cry; I saw him develop from infancy into sturdy boyhood and from sturdy boyhood into stalwart youth. I recall the fishing trips we have had together, the many days when we roamed the woods more like than father and son. I recalled one anxious night when two of us watched over his bed, fearing every minute that the angel of death would touch him, and I rememher how those watchers knelt down while the Little Woman voiced the thanks of both of us that he had been spared. I tell you, a father can think of a wonderful lot of things during the few minutes that it takes a pastor to marry the Biggest Boy to the girl of his choice. Well, the Biggest Boy has a whoie lot more to start married life on than his Dad had.

Dad didn't have enough money to flag a bread wagon, and he happened just at that time to be out of a job. But this situation did not freaze him or the Little Woman. Not a bit of it. Wasn't the world an oyster ready for an opening. Sure! And if that oyster hasn't yet opened to the limit at least it has opened up enough to keep things going at a fairly satisfactory rate.

And while there are some hours; and some days of those vanished years we wouldn't like to live over again, we wouldn't sell for much gold the memory of a single one of them. It hasn't been all sunshine by any means. Some of the days were woefully cloudy. A couple of little mounds in God's acre testify to that. But we have the sweet memory of) the two little ones who were with us for a while.

Well, well! Here we are, maundering away ahout something that interests no one but ourselves. But when a man's Biggest Boy gets mar? rled, and he happens to be the Tint of the flock to do it, that man is quite likely to want to tell all about it. STAND EXAMINATION.
