VOLUME XXXVm-NO. 3fi. t t Look uponladvertisemenjts as mere schemes to pull money out of the public It is the general impression that ads. are not printed to tell the exact truth-a certain amount of exaggeration, it seems, is expected, and the public has been educated in this way of thinking, we are sorry to say, by some otherwise good merchants. Not so in this Store's a<?.s. We print the exact facts about our Goods and our business without any exaggeration. , What we print in this space we stand back of. Every word is put here to tell you the exact truth. If at times you think we are talking too strong it's because we have good cause. Sometimes nothing but very strong talk will represent the value of some special bargains, but you can depend upon it being just as advertised. We have a reputation that we are proud of. A reputa tion for selling reliable Goods that has taken us a good while to build up. Do you think we would jeopardize it by not printing the exact truth in our ads ?

C., Feb. 19-Chief Jua tioe Pope has refused ibo application for bail of J. H. Tillman. It was tho rule of thc court, he said, in such oases to make no explanation of the reasonings governing tho decision. Murder was thc takiug of human lifo with malice aforethought. With thc oath of office so recent upon his lips ho must do his duty and decline the application without prejudice to tho caso of the defoiidaut. A multitude of affidavits covering the case with r.n iuflnity of detail was presented by thc Stato and a largo number iu reply were read for the de fendant. The State prcbentcd a num ber of affidavits from Fidgcficld pcoplo impeaching tho testimony of the affi ant, lloltzbake, and also declaring that the affiant, White, was a paralytic paBt50 years old, the result of paraly sis being to weaken thc will power and moral nature. The defense replied with affidavits sustaining the reputation of lloltzbake and tho competency of White. Tho State presented an affidavit from Re presentative Lancaster, of Spartan burs, that he saw a pistol in Tillman's pocket on the day preceding tho shooting, and another from a Columbia gunsmith that F. H. Dominick, of Newberry, previous to thc shooting, brought hint a magazine pistol and that he repaired it. E. J. Watson, of The Stato, swore to a conversation with Tillman last summer in whioh the latter requested him to tell Gonzales substantially that a continuance of the newspaper attaoks would bc at his peril. Wat son declined to convey the moesage. O. D. Black, a railroad man, made affidavit that Tillman told him on a train and again in Augusta that he was going to kill Gonzales, exhibiting the magazine pistol. Robert Lathau, Mr. Gonzales' sten ographer, swore to a statement of Mr. Gonzales taken by him when he had death in view and relating the Btoty of the shooting. Mr. Gonzales de clared he had sent Tillman no message and considered the matter ended. Several well-known citizens of Colum bia who saw the shooting testified that Gonzales made no threatening motion. In the argument the State stressed tho point among many others that the language as to the white feather did not constitute a threat when coupled with the faot that at no time before had Mr. Gonzales employed any vio lence towards Colonel Tillman.
