Tbe Lexington Dispatch * Wednesday, October 14,1903. Col. Tillman on Trial. The State lests announced Solicitor Thurmond directly after court met this morning:. (Wednesday) Several editorials from the State, *?~ 00 1 Qfll frn Spntemher iiuu-i iiiaitu ??, r 16, 1902, were read for the defense by Mr. Rembert of Counsel. T. D. Mitchell testified that some time in September of last year he had a conversation with Mr Gonzales in reference to the editorial attacks of the State upon Col. Tillman and said: We met together just about the corner of Gervais street. Just as I crossed from the opera house side he was coming down Main and we went together like two streams would come together. We turned down Gervais street, going east, and I ?i? pv on inc. and opu&o III UllU. vavvx _ , said, Don't ycu think it is about time you would let up on old Jim ? He said. No I don't, and as long as he f ffars himself for public office I expect to give it to him. He is a cur and as he offers himself for a public office I expect to put it oo him. He has proven himself a coward on every occasion. He proved it w ith DeCamp. I said, I tbiDk. Mr. Gonzales, you are mistaken. I never knew a Tillman yet who was a coward; I think it was politics that caused him to take what DeCamp said as be did He looked npon it as a premeditated difficulty to ruin his chances for election and that is why be permitted him to say what he did. He said: I can slap his face and be would not resent it. I said, if you ever try to slap his face you will find out you are Via/iio miafftVen. He said: He is a VtAUIJ ear and I would not be afraid to slap bis face. He would not resent it. I said, If you ever try to do it, you will find you are mistaken. He said: If be ever bats his eyes at me, I will fill bim so full of lead he will not be able to tote it off. Q Then, when you met Col. Tiilman at the Columbia hotel, you told * bim that between the first and second primary ? Yes, I told him I met Mr. ^ GoDzales and asked him if it was not about time be would let up on bim and Mr. Gonzales said, no, be was a cur, and as long as be offered himself for public office he expected to fight bim: that be bad proven himself a cur with DeCamp and be could slap bis face and be would not resent it. And I said I told bim I thought be would finn out bis mistake if be tried it, and be said if be ev8r batted bis eyes at bim be would fill bim so full of lead be would not be abl6 to tote it off, and fhat was about the end of tbe conversation. A J. Flowers, a conductor od the street cars of Columbia, sworn, says: During the summer of 1902, was in eharge of car No. 8, from Graobv Mill to Waverly. Granby Mill is below the Union depot and Waverly is on the other side of the city near the i old Blanding street depot. A party of four gentlemen got on at Lady street among them Mr. N G. Gonzales; they were on the back seat smoking. I had a big load of passengers and was going around to them collecting fares and helping the ladies and little children off, and I got pretty close to them collecting fares and they were discussing politics, the three men and Mr. Gonzales, and I just overheard what I did hear. I heard him tell them that if he did not succeed in defeating Mr. Tillman in the governor's cffioe that he would never be seated, because he would kill the rascal. k Mr. Nelson then introduced in evi- j dence and read the following letter: i Darlington, S. C, Aug. 15.1903. Hon. James H. Tillman, Lexington, s. c. ? ?* * i 1 ? _ g ! Dear Sir: 1 wise to wioiui you ui * I eome remarks I heard made by N. G. j Gonzelees last year while you were out ; in your campaign over the State for , the office of governor, and if it will be of any service to ycu, I am willing to appear for ycur defense. I was conductor No. 32 for Columbia St. Ry. Co. and there was a party of four(4) men and X. G. G.?was j the only one I knew. They were j discussing politics, end as Iwasstan- j ing near of course their remarks attracted my attention. Gonzeles said that if you were elect ed, ycu would never be seated? for if there were no other alternative, he would kill the damn sun of-a-bitch. if you are not sure that ihis testimony will be of service to you, I would like to take no part in the trial; still I feel it my duty to give any testimony that I know to be true, if it will be of any service to you.

Who was with you? Mr. Bialock, Cato, and Mr. Gaultman and a gentleman by the name of Stroud. Q. Where were you all going? Down Main street. Q. When you met Mr. Gonzales what way was he goiDg ? From up street. Q And Mr. Stroud was with you? Yes. Q. When you got up to him, state whether or not Stroud Bpoke to him? Yes, sir: 1 1_. i. L! J _1 LI J _ otroua epoae 10 mm aim shook, uhuub. A. J. Blalock of Columbia, says: Mr. Stroud and Mr. Gonzales were talking something about the election, it seems to me. Mr. Gonzales asked him how was the voters in the mill district; that was Ward 5,1 believe, and Stroud told him that he thought the votes, most of them, were for Col. Tillman, and that Col. Tillman was near two to one ahead in that ward; and Mr. Hughes walked up; myself and Mr. Hughes walked up, about tfca* time, and Mr. Hughes asked Mr Grilles didn't he think that he had treated Col. Tillman with great injustice; and he said no, that the black-legged gambler would be treated with more injustice after the election, even if it was with lead? that was to best of my knowledge. Victor B. Cheshire, a printer working on the Anderson Intelligencer, says: I told Col. TillmaD, when I was returning on the train from Newberry to Anderson that Mr. Greer ornf in pnnrflPBfth'nn wifh and asked me was we army boys going to vote and work for Jim Tillman like we did before. I told him yes. I suppose so; I was. He told me how dirty and low-down Jim Tillman was and I told him no use to tell me, that I expect I knew more about Jim Tillman than he did. Henry S. Head testified that he went to Columbia with Col. Tillman to see about a pardon for a friend, and that while there Mr. Gonzales came up to him and asked him if he was the man who had been riding with Col. Tillman, and bsing told that he was. Mr. Gonzales asked him where Col. Tillman then was. Head fold Mr, Gonzales that he had left Col. Tillman at the transfer station corner. Mr. Head stated that he bad never known Mr. Gonzales, but that he was told that it was Mr. Gonzales who made the inquiry of him as to where Col. Tillman was. Mr. Hedgeman Sims testified to the same points as did Mr. Head and be bad told Mr. Head tbat it was Mr. Gonzales wbo bad made tbe inquiry of hira as to where Col. Tillman then was. Capt. Richard Anderson wbo was an employee of the United States Senate, denied in toto the evidence of Capt. Arther, wbo was a witness for tbe prosecution. He said that Col. Tillman had never had a conversation with him in tbe stable, as sworn to, and that be bad never beard Col. Tillman say, If I could only get at him (Gonzales.) He said there was nothing in the testimony of Capt. Arthur. James Davis testified that Editor Terrell was r istaken in saying that Col. Tillman made threats against Mr. Gonzales in the alleged conversatin on the train, and asserted as a positive fact that Col. Tillman made no tnreat3 wnatever. Hon. Cole L. Blease testified that he was the owner of odc of the pistols taken from the person of Col. Tillman; that from threats that bad been made he deemed it a advisable that Col. Tillman sbonld go armed to protect his life and he, Blease, had loaned Tillman this pistol.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch mentions that; at a recent meeting of the stockholders of some financial body in Europe it had been reported that the association was the holder of $12,500,000 of Confederate bonds still unpaid. These bonds, by express terms, were made payable two years after the ratification of a treaty of peace between the Cmfederate States of America and the Doited States of America. Thi3 saving clause prevents the boDds from coming due, even if there were aujbody to pay iUyvr^t U 1 O r> f tUCUi, UUU lUDir 10 iJUl/. Confederate bonds and notes bave no other value than what may be given them by the demand for them as curiosities. This is not large. The Times-Dispatch states that after the war many bundles of dim orauge colored paper on which Confederates were wont to print their 50-ceDts notes were acquired by the Republic and Examiner newspapers. This paper was furnished by them to their editors and reporters to use in supplying ''cop)'1 to the printers. One of the presses that had printed this Confederate money was also used by the papers aforesaid. Iq the end it wa6 sold by Mr. Poilard to Riodan & Dawson, who were then printing a newspaper in Charleston, S C, after which paper the present News and Courier of that city is its successor. Many young women, daughters cf the best families of the South, were employed to sign the notes for the Confederate Treasurer and Register. Notes were issued bctb in Richmond, Va, and Columbia, S.

It not oniy cu?es colde and grip effectually and permanently, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It is also a certain cure for crcup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an aduit. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken into consideration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at home, esteem this remedy very highly and very few are willing to take any other after having once used it.
