Representative Wash King, (if Florence county, testified that ho sa.v Jim Till man iti tho lobby of Wright's hotel in Columbia, the ilav before the homicide, with a pistol in bis hip pocket. As Tillman pulled off his overcoat the pistol was visible in his hip pocket. Then the reading of tho editorials began. The reading was a monotonous and tiresome proceeding and at one time the court took a recess for live minutes, so as to have a little fist. '1 ho reading was purely a mater of form, and while the subject mutter of them was usually Wiot stuff', still there was little interest in the proceedings, for all the editorials are more or less fresh in the mind of the reading public. l'liey will therefore not be sMiopsixed in these reports. While the editorials were being road, Mr. Johnstone called to the attention of the court that all of I iciu should "be a pari of the re e rd of the proceedings and ho noticed that the stenographer was not taking them down. Mr. Macfeat, the stenographer, arose and showed the court that lie win making notes of each editorial read, but that as they were a part of the records of the.court, the papers being in evidence, lie was not making notes of the contents of each editorial. lie said to Mr. Johnstone that lie had been a stenographer in courts too loll if not to know linn In perform his duty. Mr. Johnstone disclaimed making any relloolio.i upon the stenographer end. as what Mr. Mfc(c feat was doing in connection wfth the testimony >eemed satisfactory to the court, the incident was closed.?

Brown's Big Cotton Corner, lie is Said to Have Made Over $7,000,000 Wnll Street Hit Hard, bill Europeans the Heaviest Losers. Special to ('liarlr?l?e Observer. New York, Sept. L'O.?-With September cotton at an advance ol 1 I.*? points for the day and more than i>o0 in two days and likely to go higher, and with news of quick settlements 100 points liigher. the New York cotton exchange to-day saw the culmination of the most successfully carried out corner in cotton in the lii&to" ry of this market, a corner which has made for \V. l\ Brown, of Now Orleans, the loader, at Ihe least calculation between $7,000,000 aud $S,000,000 in September option alone. To-day in one hour cotton rose more than $0 a bale, because the men who had a theory that the corner would not hold and sold by the thousands of bales were not able to find it to buy to make the deliveries they bad contracted to make to-morrow, and had to buy it of the men who had previously sold it. In order to prevent the market rising to absolutely ruinous figures many of thc^e have made settlement within the last two days with figures a cent a pound above the market rate. For the first time in the histo ry of cotton selling on a world wide basis the market is absolutely cornered. If the market tells the truth the men who have lost in the corner are mainly Europeans, although Wall street was hit hard. oir iuicmuM tierhert, lJrilish ambassador to tho United States, died unexpectedly in Switzerland Wednesday.
