The Tillman Trial,
The ease of t f 1?? State against
l>m. II. Tillman has !????*i going'
on steadily during <It** past week |
nl Lexington. A number of witness- i
?<n were put up for the? State and
in the evidence cf each many i?i.?ilt1
iiIic*;?iit points wcrJ argued by the
attorneys fur Ili* defense. causing
niiu'li delay and aunoyanee to the ,
general public. The Slal > closed
its argument Saturday and the
court took a rest until yesterday
morning, when it was expected the
argument for the defense would
begin. It is believed the case will
continue through this week and
into the next before a verdict is
reached.
Owing to the illness of Juror
Sltarpe the court did not convene |
yesterday. II was ex parted, how- ,
ever, I hut ho would answer when
court Was culled at 10 a. m. today.
Testing the jury Panel.
The following interesting story
conies from Saluda, concerning
the second weeks' jury putiel for,
the Lexington court:
Just after the jury for the first
and second week for Lexington
county had boen drawn and their
iinini'H published, a party appeared
in that county in the guise uf ftM
agent for a picture-enlarging coneern
somewhere. Ho made it his
business to visit every juror who
had boon drawn and solicit some
work. In order to show the cnarneter
of the work done by the
bouse he represented he produced
as samples enlarged pictures of
well known South Carolinians and
filially would hold up one of Jus
II Tltlmuu, with tlie remark, "I
suppose you at once recognize
1 his likenos," or something of that
hind*. Then the unsuspecting person
addressed would remark, "Yes.
1 hut is Jim Tillman," or "Colonel
Tillinnu. who killed (lonzales,"
etc., and if the juror were given to
talking he wnul'l say thus and so
about the case, and whether or not
he ought t<> be convicted, etc., etc.
The agent would bIiow no signs of
interest, but, so the story goes,
would know ju$t how the party appruuchcd
felt and stood on the
luattter. and after learning would
jot down the statements made to
hi in for future reference.
Only the Acorn Weevil.
The Rock Hill Journal of yesterday
contains the gratifying
inhumation that the Mexican boll
weevil has not appeared in the vicinity
of that city as was feared.
A gentleman of Rock Hill a few
days ago sent a letter of inquiry,
together with specimens of the
auppoB-tl boll weevil, to the agricultural
department at. Washington.
lu reply, officers of the department
bay that "the insect is
only the acorn weevil (Ltalaninu.s
quercos) and has no connection,
whatever, with cotton."
This interesting bit of news will
dispel the fears of many fanners
in this township wild were daily
expecting this destructive little iii-l
sect to appear in the cotton hereabouts,

How to Prevent Hydrophobia.
The following remedy for the
prevention of hydrophobia was
sent, the Spartanburg Journal by
a lady of Campobelln, who says
that (luring the past twenty years
the remedy has never been known
to fail when used according to directions:
Take one and a half ounce of elecampane
root, grind it tine, put
the ground root in a pint of n*?w
milk, b >il down to a half pint, take
j it at one dose in the morning, and
j fast until -1 p. Hi. of same day. Ke;
peat this every other day for three
: days, making three doses in all.
It is important that it ho taken on
an emyty stomach, also that nothing
should be eaten tiii from eight
to ten hours after taken. The
remedy can be taken at any time,
though nu st of those bitten took
it immediately after being bitten.
I Others took it weeks after, and
still others not until the rabies at
i pea red. In every case where the
I patient was ab.e to swallow, u cure
I was effected.

Hepiesentative Finley is in trouble
lover his public building at ltock
Hill. He called today at the treas|
ury department to confer with Su*

the site. There is some kind of a

building which Mr. Fiuley has
worked so iudustrioudy to secure
for the citizens of Hock Hill.
