Gonzales South Carolina loses one of her bravest and most patriotic sons. He dared to do right whatever the odds and whatever the cost. As an editorial writer and citizen his best efforts and energies were given for the upbuilding of Columbia and South Carolina, and while we often disagreed with him as to methods, there was no questioning his sincerity of purpose. Personal aggrandizement or selfseeking he scorned, but with a single ' c purpose to better the State and city he loved so well, he followed the path of duty though often misunderstood, misrepresented and maligned. He was one of the strongest writers of vigorous English in the South, and he never beat about the bush. One method only was his: the direct one. He was a terror to evil doers in political and public circles, and his enemies of this ilk will rejoice at his death. "We, in common with many of the best citizens of the State, deplore his death and extend sincerest sympathy to . the bereaved ones. His work was one sadly needed in South Carolina, and we trust, for the good of the State and its -AAn'" o tirovc heart and refldv Den tuab a >/iuT v juw??w ?*? ? ? ? ? ?^ x will take it up. ||| The Colombia Tragedy. La9t Thursday afternoon about halfpast wie o'clock, in the city of Columbia, Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor of the State newspaper, was shot by Lieutenant Governor Jas. H. Tillman, from the effects of which wound his death occurred Monday afternoon last at one o'clock. The story if- of the sad tragedy is fully told in another part of this newspaper. Mr. Gonzales * had left his office on Main street and |^K^^tarted to dinner, meeting Tillman, who |HHpF just left the State house and was Pi^^walking down street, accompanied by Senator Talbird, of Beaufort. Several others were along, the Senate having " just adjourned. As the party met Gonzales, Tillman, without a word, drew a pistol and shot him in the stomach, inflicting a mortal wound. Gonzales said: "Shoot again, you coward," but Tillman lowered his pistol. Tillman was at once arrested and put in jail. Gonzales was carried to the hospital for treatment, where he lingered in agony until his death. These are the brief facts in one of the most awful tragedies that ever occurred within the borders of South ' Carolina. 2^. v * The high esteem in which the dead man was held, not only in this State, but all over the South, has been manifested by the many expressions of sympathy that have come from public men and editors. < This newspaper has never yet violated >v. a rule of its own, which is, not to attempt to prejudice public sentiment either for or against a man who is to be tried for his life for the killing of a fellow-being. This, however, is an unusual case. When the second, highest executive official of the proud State of South Carolina, only a few moments before acting as presiding officer of the State Senate, walks out into V the .street with two big pistols concealed his person and without a word shoots an unoffending citizen, it is high time for all who love their State and believe in law and order, to speak in no uncertain tones. There is no doubt but that Tillman killed Gonzales because of the editorial opposition to him in his race for governor. It is true the editor said hard things, but were they not true? Tillman never attempted to disprove them, and he tailed to seek satisfaction at the time these editorials were printed. Months had elapsed since anything had appeared in the State against Tillman, and Gonzales had no intimation that bodily harm was intended. The act can be only characterized as premeditated, wilful murder, with malice aforethought, and could only have been perpetrated by one who was a thorough coward at heart. He waited for months to pass, so that even if his victim had expected trouble, his fears would have been allayed and he would take him unawares. Gonzales was given no chance for his life *?he was shot down without warning? in a brutal and cowardly manner. He was unarmed when killed, aod even if he had been it would have been of no avail. A peaceful citizen should walk the streets in the daytime, in a civilized community, feeling a sense of security against the attacks of murderers and assassins. Is it so in South Carolina? Murder after murder has been committed in this State in the past few years, and how many white men have paid the death penalty for their crimes? In the uame of the Almighty, are such things to continue ? Are we to come to the pass when no man's life is safe against attacks such as these; when the peaceable citizen is to at thp merev of the oistol toter. the thug, and the bull)'? If we are to go back to a period like unto the mining and cowboy times of the West, when human life was as cheap as water aud no man was punished for his crimes, let us know it. If we are to make political heroes of lawless men and assassins, then we say God help South Carolina, and we say it reverently. The spirit of lawlessness has touched the high and the low, the rich and the poor, and some remedy must be found. It is plain and simple. Hang a few white men and the lawlessness and killing will cease. We quote the following from a sermon preached in Charleston last Sunday by Dr. J. A. B. Scherer, an eminent Lutheran divine, well known in this couuty. He delivered the memorial address at Rivers' Bridge a few years ago. In speaking of the prevalence of lawlessness in this State he said: "A year ago the chief representatives of this State in the National Government ejt?. gaged in a vulgar fight on the floor of the United States Senate, creating the impression upon the world that our very leaders and lawmakers are violent and lawless men. The other day a tragedy occurred in Columbia. Lot us not prejudge the (rase of the individual; let the courts take care of that. But the chief actor in that tragedy was a public official, the Lieutenant Governor of the State, and as such his act invites and demands the severest public censure. Within five days he would have laid aside his robes of office and could have wreaked revenge as a private citizen. But 110. Our shame must be advertised with all the accessories of high dramatic effect. Therefore he walks from the Senate hall into the streets of the Capital and, drawing a concealed weapon from his person, slays an unarmed enemy in cold blood. Those are facts which no jury's verdict can annul; and in deeds like these, wrought even by the highest of our officials, the tiagrancy of crime has reached its very acme, and the blood of the most sluggish patriot is stirred with shame for the old Palmetto State." Senator S. G. May Held. The Bamberg papers announce the fact that Hon. S. G. Mayfield will give up his practice of law and devote his time fn ??m on/1 tr\ cfrrw?lr raicincr AT?* LU lliw* iai ill aiiu w cn/vscx xai>?4u^< aui* Mayfield is admittedly one of the foremost lawyers in the State. His fees have been fortunes in themselves and he took a pride in his profession. His return to farming means that he considers that calling a noble one and worthy of the best talents that the Creator gives. It means that there is money in farming iu this section when done right. Mr. Mayfield has been as successful a farmer as he has beeu lawyer. He was always a leader in every agricultural enterprise, always the first man to try experiments that promised well for the farm, and always gave to his neighbors the benefits of those experiments. By devoting his attention to stock raising he will lead in the development of an enterprise that South Carolina has long been in need of. He is well equipped for the work and he will undoubtedly make a success of it. The State will get the benefit of Mr. Mayfield's enterprise, and while there are plenty of good lawyers to maintain the dignity and honor of the legal profession, the profession of agricullture needs such recruits very badly. There a are few of them. This section of the state furnishes many more examples of men of this sort in agriculture than all the rest of the state combined. Recruits are hailed with delight by all who recognize the fact that the farm is the solid bed rock foundation of the people and whatever helps the farm and the farmer and dignifies and elevates them will benefit the State?Florence Times. "The Greatest of These is Charity." The following article is clipped from the Ocala Banner, a newspaper published in Florida, and was handed to us by a friend here in town. It was published under the heading of a Sunday sermon by the editor: Faith, hope, charity; * * but the greatest of these is charity."?1 Cor. 13-13. Man is the greatest yet the weakest of ttod's creation. ?ie is prone to evil. 11 is a part of his inheritance. He should, therefore,be treated with tender pity, compassion, love, tolerance and charity. The principle characters mentioned iu the holy scriptures are almost repetitions of man's weaknesses and wickednesses. Very few led stainless lives. Adam, the first man, ate the forbidden fruit and cowardly attempted to fasten his sin upon the woman, and Eve, no better than her husband, tried to shield herself by fastening it upon the serpent. Cain, in a tit of jealous}', slew his younger brother. Noah, who alone with his family escaped the awful destruction of the flood, celebrated his rescue, as soon as he could make the wine, by getting drunk, and Ham, his younger son, who wanted to expose him, received a curse which will be felt by his posterity through all time to come, and Shem and Japeth, who gently hid their father away from exposure, were blessed. That is the first temperance sermon on record and it is entirely different from the Carrie Nation performances of our times. Abraham, to savehis own life, was willing to sacrifice his wife's honor, and by denying that she was his wife, permitted her "to be seized and placed in an Egyptian Seraglio. Isaac, for fear of his life, denied his wife, also, and Jacob stole his brother's birthright. mioses siew me nigypuau, uuneu mm m the sand, and when he found out that his crime had been discovered, fled in order to escape punishment. His crime was condoned and Moses was greatly honored of God. He talked with him "face to face." He was selected to deliver the Israelites from bondage, yet in a fit of rage, he threw down the tabies of stone containing the commandments and broke them. David had Uriah slain in order to secure the beautiful Bath-Sheba for his own evil purposes, and Solomon had entirely too many wives. We find that human nature was the same in new testament times that it was in old testament times. Christ selected twelve men for his disciples. They recognized Him as the Master and vowed Him their allegiance. Though all others would forsake him they would be with Him to the end of the world, yet they fled upon the first scent of danger. When Christ was arrested by the Roman soldiers only one of his disciples stood by him to defend him. Judas betrayed him for money. Peter, upon whom he leaned more than the others, deserted him. He even attended his trial diguised or, at least, did not let himself be known. After the trial a damsel went up to him and said: "Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee." Peter lied to her. He said: "I know not what thou say est:" . Still another damsel recognized him and said to those about her; "This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazereth." Peter again lied flatly. He said tp her: "I do not know the man." Murder, intrigue, adultery, betrayal, nnfoi'fKfnlnoco q rs r) rvthpr lirrlv Pi'imPC UUiaUUXUiUVUO MU\t WMV* form a large part of the warp and woof of bible history. Even those the most highly favored of God sinned. So the church and the world should not condemn too severely those of us now who occasionally stumble and fall by the wayside. See how severely Christ condemned the Pharisees?those who proclaimed! that they were better than their fellows. Then see what a beautiful place all through the New Testament is given to "Charity." It does not mean merely the giving of alms. That is its smallest meaning. In its broader sense it means forgiveness. It means tolerance?tolerance of the faults and opinions of sinful men and women. Christ knew that men were weak. He knew that there was no such thing us perfection in human nature. He knew that it was impossible for men to see alike, or feel alike, or do alike. He knew that difference would arise in scriptual interpretations and tierce and bitter antagonisms would result, so the most beautiful tribute is given to this word in his description of it, and He personally exemplifies it in his last act ami in his last utterance. Speaking in behalf of the rabble who were attending his crucifixion, spitting upon him and mocking him, He said : "Forgive them they know not what thev do." Tfiat is the loftiest explanation and exemplification of charity that is recorded. So the followers of Christ ought to be imbued with the same lofty soirit. They should not judge in haste. They should not be one-sided. Their whoje creed should be expressed i jn the one word : "Charity!" killing in Branehville. Branch vi i.i.k, January 20.?Annie Evans, colored, was killed here early yesterday morning in Richard Sweat's house. A jury was immediately summoned to hold an inquest and, after almost a day's investigation, Richard Sweat was arrested for the crime. The gun that she is supposed to have been shot with was fouud in the bed between the mattresses. Sweat gave a different tale about the gun being secreted in the bed from that told by his wife. She did not know the gun was in the bed, and he said that she put it in the bed. The daughter of the deceased told still another story, stating that when she heard the shooting she jumped up and saw her mother lying on the floor, and about that time Sweat rapped on the back door to let him in. The negroes collected in squads last night, threatening to lynch Sweat, but up to this writing Sweat is still alive and he will be carried to Orangeburg this morning to await trial at the next term of Court. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Branciiville, January 19.?A probable murder was committed here this morning.

Exchange of Compliments. The village sexton, in addition to being a gravedigger, acted as stonecutter, house repairer and furniture mover. The local doctor, having obtained a more lucrative appointment in another count}', employed the sexton to assist in his removal. When it came to settling up accounts the doctor deducted an old contra account due by the sexton. He wrote at the same time, objecting to the charge made for removing his furniture: "If this was steady, it would pay much better than gravedigging." The sexton replied: "Iudade, Oi wud be glad to have a steady job; gravediggin' is very slack since you left." The Mother ttirl. She is not a bud of fashion, nor a butterfly of style, And there are no bogus trimmings in the make-up of her smile; She needs no artificial fixing to enhance her girlish charms, And a god would go in raptures o'er the plumpness of her arms As she washes up the dishes and the minutes speed along, Dancing gaily as they pass her to the music of her song. In her eyes a soft impression of a pure maternal love That must surely be the envy of those angels up above. She's the joy of every home Underneath yon arching dome Till she gives her heart's affection to another? Lucky he who wins the true, Loving, loyal maiden who Tries to lift the daily burden from her mother. When the weekly toil is over, and she dons her Sunday gown, There is not a pampered darling on the earth can turn her down In the winning game of beauty; not a fashionable pearl, Though ablaze with costly, jewels can outshine the mother girl. Sweet simplicity is noted in her unassuming grace, And she needs no color touching to put bloom into her face, For the blood of health is coursing through her veins, her rosy blush Isn't made for the occasion by the decorative brush. She's the very fairest gem In our beauty diadem. Search creation and you cannot find another On the face of all the earth That possesses half the worth Of the girl who lifts the burden from her mother. ?New York News.

Forty-three barrels of oil were burned and three firemen were badly but not fatally injured by the flames. Many of the barrels exploded causing great consternation. A ten-thousand gallon iron tank about twenty feet from the burning building held 3,000gallons of gasoline and the fear of its catching fire was great. The people near by deserted their homes and intense excitement prevailed in that part of the city. Had it exploded the loss of life and property would have been very great.
