A large majority of the farmers
of this township are acting unwisely
by disposing of their cotton
fieed. With cotton bringing 10 j
rents, or even 9 cents, it seems j
that, the farmer could get along !
for awhile without selling his seed. !
Hold tljem and wait for a better j
price. If the price does not ad- |
vanee, use the seed as fertilizer,
which would hens profitable if not
more so, than giving a lieu next

The McConnick Messenger notes
ihe fact that "the Uipsey traders
are here on their annual tours ;
searohing for buyers, swaps, sellers
or any olil way you may desire
to bade." The most profitable way
ihe McConnick people could deal
with that Gypsy band would be to
indict them under the State law
which provides that all nomadic
and gregarious Gypsy horse-trad- |
era who habitually infest thecoun- 1
try may be classed as vagrants and
punished.

those interested in the project are \
hanking more heavily upon the {
action of the next legislature. It >
Iihh been said that a majority of
the legislators are opposed to an
appropriation, but when this august
body assembles the tide may
have Turned and the State thrown
$25,000 or $.">0,000 deeper in debt
as a result. In view of t he fact
that the Charleston Exposition
closed only a little over a year ago,
we fail to see the advisability for
puch an appropriation. Exposition
advertising comes high, and
with a State piling up a deficit at
the rate of $103,000 a year, it is
' our opinion that the proper action j
fo? our legislators is to give the i
proposition a wide berth.

JIM TILLMAN ON TRIAL.
Slayer of N. G. Gonzales Appears in
Court and Pleads "Not Guilty."
Contrary to general expectation.
.Tns 11. Tillman was placed on trial
in Lexington Monday morning.
Knon after court met tho solicitor
asked that a brief recess be taken
in order that he miuht hear from
certain telegrams as to the attendance
of witnesses, one beino Kailroad
Conductor Black, who was in
a wieck recently near Auuusta, Ga.,
and who is now in a hospital in
tlrnt city. Aftri* about an hour's
delay the solicitor announced that
the prosecution would be ready to
proceed with the arrangement and
drawing of the jury, but wouldn't
he ready to take testimony until
tin* afternoon. Col. Croft after
tirsi ascertaining that Mr. A. 10.
Gonzales bad all copies of The
State newspaper between April
and October, 1902, in court to be
used in the testimony, announced
Unit the defense was ready for trial.
Tillman was soon afterwards
formerly arraigned, he beini; placed
on tho regular dock used for
that purpose, lie appeared calm
and unconcerned and answered
with a loud, linn voice. "Not
guilty," iih the question was formally
put to him by the court. The
<1 rawing of the jury then proceeded.
At the opening of the court Mr.
Graham, a member of the Lexington
bar ami an attorney f.?r Tillman,
attempted to call to the attention
of the court an editorial
in The State newspaper entitled
"Juggling With Courts.'' Mr. Ahbill,
also a member of the bar but
employed by the prosecution, objected
because it was not the unaii
imous desire of the bar .luilge
Gary held that it ought to be
unanimous if any statement was to
be made, and it not being so, he
ruled that the statement could not
be made.
A jury was secured about 1:1.1 p.
in., and consisted of these gentlemen:
Jacob E. Taylor, Irwin Itisinger,
H oilier Woods, Geo. F.
Lightsey, Martin L. Lybrand. Milton
Sharp*1, Geo. 11. Kaon, Jonas
Corley, Marshall Sheah-y, J. 15.
Jumper, Willie L. Hicks, dames
K. Price. Mr. Geo. H. lvooti was
chosen foreman.
The court will now proceed with
tin* examination of the witnesses,
of which there is said to be about
500. The jury will be kept together
during the trial.
Trinity College Class Monument.
Editor Times:?Among the gifts
made to Trinity College there are
none more unique and i in press) ve
than the class monument, just
erected hy the class of 1899. At
the point where the south avenue
j ins the circular drive in front of
the Craven Memorial Hall, they
have erected a Hag pole. The base
is in the form of a triangular built
of irregular granite, with ashler
face, and finished with ashler
blocks. The flag pole is pure
white and rises to a heights of 72
feet. It is finished at the top with
a large cap covered with gold-leaf.
Within the triangular base there is
a I eautiful grass plot. Oil each
side the step entering the triangle
is a pedestal. At the front angle
will be inserted a black marble
slab bearing the inscription, "Hod
Bless Our Country." On the tlag
pole will be a copper tablet bearing
the inscription, "Erected by
the class of 1899, as an evidence of
our iHttli in our college, our country.
and our God."
The lecture committee of the
faculty of Trinity College has arranged
to have a public lecture
once a month in Craven Meinotinl
Hall. These lectures are to be delivered
by membera of the faculty,
or by invited speakers. The first
lecture of the series was delivered
Monday evening by President
Kilgo, liissubject being, "Our duty
to the Negro Race."
Saturday, October 3rd, will he

action of the board of trustees in
setting apart October 3rd of each
year as Benefactor's Day. Exercises
will he held in Craven Memorial
Hall at 8 o'clock in the evening,
and the address will be delivered
by Bishop Ei. E. Hobs, of
Nashville, Tenn., whose coming is

The Greet; Goods Scheme.
A Times reporter was shown a
few days ago a letter from a green
goods man of New York oity. Having
seen a number of such letters
the reporter declined the iuvitu*
tit>n to read it and advised our
friend to stick it in the stove at
once. And it seems that the green i
goods people are at work in other
i parte) of the State, aw well. The i
Spartanburg Journal says of the <
: scheme:
The money these people n:lverI
tise an countorflet is undoubtedly '
i good; "shoving the queer" is not I
their scheme much as they try to
make it out to he. Their trick ia
: usually to get their victims otf in
I out of the way place and show him 1
the "counterfeit * money they of- 1
fer him (usuallv giving thouaaiula
of dollars for about $.">00) nicely
packed in a box. When the trans- j
! for is made they generally club the
: "come on" into unconsciousness
or shift the boxes on him, telling
him to keep it close and not open
it till he gets home for fear of being
robbed, etc. This discovery
icveals the contents to be waste j
paper in saw dust. Its an old i
swtm.le, and out* thnt bus been
worked successfully back to the
timo when the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary.
The covetousness and cupidity
of many people of the best {standing
in their communities have been
aroused by the skillfully worded
circular lettera sent to them and
with the deliberate intention of
buying up a lot of counterfeit
money to pass on their neighbors j
they have uoue up against this
old hoary swindle only to be Qeec- j
1 ed according to the old, old and
thrice old story. These letters are j
j cleverly gotten up.

Nine Killed in a Wreck.
While running at a hiuli rate of
speed No. til, the Southern railway's
southbound fast mail train, ,
jumped front a trestle 75 feet h it'll,
half a mile north of Danville, Vs.,
Sunday afternoon at 2:50 o'clock I
and was completely demolished.
Of the crew, 1 <> men on the train, '
nine were killed and seven injured
The dead are: Knpitieer .T. A.
Broady of Saltvdle, Va ; fireman
j A. G. Clapp, Greensboro, N. 0.;
conductor ?I. Tom Blair of Central,,
S. C.; and mail clerks !. L. Thouipnoii
of Washim/toti. W. T. Chimin
hers of Midland, Va,; D. T. Florry
i of NokcHvilb', Va.; l\ N. Ardand- |
, right, Mt. Clinton Va.; dayman S.
j J. Moody of Raleigh. N. C.; 10I
year-old son of Mail Clerk J. L.
Thompson.
The trestle where the accident
occurred is 500 f. et long and is lo- I
cated on a sharp curve. Engineer
13roady was a new man on that di- I
vision of the Southern, and it is :
said that he cauie to the curve at a
very high rate of speed.
All unofficial opinions tlmt have 1
I been ascertained agree in giving i
| only one cause for the wreck ?the
; hi till speed of the train <<u the j
j sharp curve. No. 97 was running j
; about an hour behind time. It is
thought that the engineer being ;
unfamiliar with the road, did not
take into consideration the danger ,
! of coining on the curve with such
i velocity.

German Emigrants Coming South. 1
Those interested in the develop- j
ment oi the reserves of the South '
are, to some extent at least, con- |
versant with the methods employed :
by the Southern Railway company
in advancing the material growth
: of the country served by its lines.
For several years past that Company
has made special effort to
J attract to the South a definable
class of German immigrants,
i While this work is one that re- I
quires time, labor and patience,
the results have b eu fairly satis- <
factory, and several settlements of ' I
that cIhhh of people huve been es- <
tahlislieil along the lines of the |
Southern Railway. ]

upon the importance of the people 1 <
; of the South doing all they can to
foster and promote this movement. j <
Germans already located in tlie
South can do much to promotej
thin work. The Southern Kail- '
wuy will be glad to have from each !
German located along its line his j
; individual opinion of the country :
, in which he is located as a desira- I
i hie field for this cla-s of immigra '
tion. This information will be of!
special value in its negotiations!
with other Germans, and the result !
j will be mutially beueticial. Un- j
i dnuhtedly there is abundant room
in each countv of the South for
German farmers, ami it is hoped
the Southern Railway will relieve
lite active and acceptive co-operation
of the the people located along >
I Us lines. Thin will result in pro)
ducting a tide of emigration to the
: South of active and energeticGer1
mans, and will cause thousands of
that class of people to seek homes
in this Southern clime.
Mr. M. V. Richards; Washington,

Agent of the Southern Railway
Company, will be glad to-hear from
those interested in the Subject.

of this eity to lease from the
Catawba Power company about
10,000 acres of the lands owned by
them ou the Catawba .river and
convert it into a sporting park for
hunting and fishing. If the project
is carried through it will be
done in a thoroughly up-to date j
