Miss Ad die Tillman, the eldest child of Sena tor Tillman, and her escort, t he Kev. Kobert A. Lee, pastor of the Episcopal church at Yorkville, this State, were killed by the same bolt of lightning at Brevard, N. C, Wednesday afternoon, July lt. They were in a horseback oarly which had started oil to ascend iiich mountain, six miles from I'.re vard. When uearly at the summit a thunder storm overtook the party. All except Miss Tillman, Mr. Lee and Mr. McNeely rode on to a house some dis tance ahead. These three stopped for Mr. McNeely to exchange horses with Miss Tillman on account of her horse being afraid of thunder. The rain came up and they sought shelter un der some bushes near which was a large oak tree. The tree was struck by lightning which instantly killed Miss Tillman, Mr. Lee and their horses. Mr. McNeely, though a short distance away, was unhurt. Miss Tillman was twenty years old and would have made her debut in Washington society next winter. Miss Tillman was expected to reach Kaleigh in a few days to visit the fam ily of Dr. Kirby, superintendent ol the North Carolina Insane asylum. The Charlotte Observer commenting on the sad occurrence, says : "What adds the greater sadness to this pathetic story is that Miss Till man had plighted her troth to the young Governor of South Carolina, Hon. John Gary Evans, and that they were soon to be married. It is well known that in his charming home cir cle Senator Tillman seeks and linds a delightful refuge of rest from the cares of political life and the bitter ness of the campaign, and this ruth less invasion by death of his happy fireside causes a sorrow which is be yond human sympathy to sooth, and a heart-wound which can only be healed by the tender hand of Him who stro ked the silken tresses of the little children of Judea, and who taught us that those who go down to the dark ness of the grave shall yet rise again."

The great denio-pluto-lawyer con vention is now a thing of the past, and after reading its platform I fail to see how any true Populist can for a moment think of fusion with that gang. There are as true and tried Populists in Johnston county as God's sunshine eyer fell on and all that I have talked with say no fu sion along that line notwithstanding their pretense to silver. We still re member 1892. Their cursing, abuse, and roughs and rowdys who run our men out of town and rotten-eggedl our leaders, are too fresh in the memory of true Populists to vote that ticket now. We must watch the legislature. There is where our lib erty rests. If we allow that gang to control the legislature we may look out for a Mississippi or South Caro lina election law that will forever stand unless obliterated by Provi dence or perhaps the bayonet. But we must not let them get a chance. Let our watchword be, "save the legislature." "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." If we do otrr whole duty all will be well. Let us not fail. G. W.
