A; LAN * Vol. XIII. AN UNWARRANTED INSINUATION. The statement of the attorneys of James H. Tillman as to why they rclused to allow the publication of the affidavits asking for a change of venue is fuil of pure assumptions and incorrect 6tate ments of fact. In the first place, there is no such feeling in this city and county against the defendant as these gentlemen seek to convey in the case. The case is seldom, if ever, discussed in the city and it is only when people from out side of Columbia bring stories that they have heard about ttie * defendant that the case is brought up in conversation at all. We deny emphatically that the press has had auy unfavorable articles on the case or that it would have if the afiidavits were published. The State has consistently re trained, since the occurrence, from making any comments whatever on the case, and that leaves The Record as ttie only paper in Columbia that has had any comments as to it. We challenge the attorneys to point out a single statement that we have ever published about Tillman that is not true and one word of comment that was not justified by the facts, or one sentence that had as its remotest object the exciting of prejudice, or which, as an actual matter ot fact, did have that effect. It is easy enough to make assertions, but being able ^ pa to prove them is quite another matter. The attorneys cannot boost up their case with any such unfounded insinuations as that, ^ and if their affidavits bring out no stronger reasons for granting a change of venue than that, then the pre: filing "judge cannot rightfully grant the motion. VVe know the people of this city and county too well to ever believe that any jury of reputable citizens would convict any man unjustly or any man who was not guilty, nor would they fail to give any man that fair showing for his life and liberty that the law allows and the sworn testimony warranted. We most earnestly protest against any such statement being true, and we cannot permit it to go unchallenged. All that the people of this county desire is that justice be done, and the law and the evidence will decide what justice ought to be. We fear that in this move the attorneys are not so much actuated by a desire that justice be done as they are to get their client ofT free, but in doing so they have no right to cast so serious a reflection upon the people of Col' umbia and Richland county as is contained in their statement ? Columbia Record. 0 Another disastrous flood has filled tho Mississippi river to ovei flowing, and great loss of life and property are reported at St. Louis.
