Lexington, August 22.-About a month hence it is expected that this littlo town will bo outertaining tho largest numbor of visitors evor known in its history. Tho tri?1 of Jas. II. Tillman for the murder of N. G. Gonzales iu Columbia is sot for that timo, and it is generally believed, will bo delayed no longer. Almost ?00 witnesses have bnou sum moned to appear in this caso by the opposing sides. All availablo space in tho hotols lins boen engaged weeks sinco by interested parties, and how tho immense numbor of spectators, sure to he on hand, will ho accommodated, is an intorosting problem. The last census gave tho town somothiug ovor POO inhabitants, lt is thought that at loast 5,000 will bo hero during the trial. Meantime tho prisoner occupies his coll in tho Lexington county jail. Sheri fi Caughtnnu has mado him as comfortable as possiblo, putting him on tho shady sido of tho buildiug on tho first Boor noar tho sheriff's own quarters and occasionally permitting him to oxorciso himself hy walking up and down tho corridor. As a rulo tho sheriff docs not lock tho coll from tho outsido, but leaves tho lock for Tillman to turn if ho so desires. Throe times a day Mr. Marks, who keeps a restaurant just hohind tho jail, can bo scon bringing the prisoner his meals. Tillman states that ho finds his quarters boro pleasanter thau thoso in tho Richland jail, where ho was impris oned during some warm days of May nml Juno. Many visitors attracted hy curiosity or other motives go to seo tho noted prisoner. Somo timo sinco his wifo mid little daughter spent several days in Lexington with relatives and made frequent visits to the jail. Others of his kinsfolk hnvo hoon hore from timo to timo. Tillman's littlo ncphow, a handsome hoy of seven or eight summers, is staying in tho jail to wait upon his undo and is said to ho a general favorite with tho prisoners. Speculation as to tho verdict tn tho caso ia almost useless. As statod above, Mrs. .las. IL Tillman has relatives in town and also in tho county mid people feel much real sympathy for hor. It is doubtful if tho samo feeling exists for her in her husband's case. Tho belief of almost all thoso who havo road the newspapers and who caro to express thomsolves is, that tho act was genuine murder and should ho punished. At the same timo it should ho remembered that Senator Tillman has always had a largo following in tho county, whatever his nephew's following was, and this fact is almost suro to inllucnco some jurymen. So far sentiment docs not Room to have orystallzed, hut it will bo a sur prise if Tillman is either acquitted or sentenced to ho hanged as a result of this trial. Not n fow look for a mistrial ami then another application for bail. Mrs. Mollie Allen, of South Fork, Ky., says sho has prevented attacks of cholera morbus hy taking Cham berlain's Stomach and Livor Tab lets when she felt an attack coming on. Such attacks are usually caused hy indi gestion and those tablet? aro just what is needed to cleanse tho stomach and ward ol? tho approaching attack. At tacks of bilious colic may bo provented in tho saino way. For salo by J. W. Bell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca. Notes Irom Richland. Richland, August 2i.-Mrs. W. K.
