CAMDEN, B.C. Jan. 20 ?b. 1903.
THE MURDKK OK Mil. G0>Z\LKS I
The murder of Mr. X. G.
Gonzales, editor of Tiia St.iti*,
by Lieut. Governor James H.
Tillman, was oue of the most
atrocious crimes t hat has lelt
its crin^on stain upon the fair
name of our Statu. Mr Gonzn
les did his utmost through the
columns of his paper, to spare
South Carolina the disgrace of
having Jim Tillman elected
Governor. That he was very
aggressive no one will deny,
but it must be remembered
that he proved his charges.
And now after five months
had passed, and Tillman had
taken no notice of the charges,
Mr. Gouzaiee must have
thought the incident closed.
No reference had been made
to Tillman that we can recall
since. Ln^t Thursday as Mr.
Gonzales was going quietly
home he met Tillman, and
when he had nearly passed
him Tillman turned upon him
and shot him down. The
wound was a mortal one. Yes
torday the last spark of a bril
liant career was extinguished
by a foul assassin. Mr. Gon
zales was a courageous writer.
He never feared being on the
losing side, just so he believ
ed his cause to be just, and
when he made a statement, he
was al ways ready to substan
tiate it with facts. He was a
valuable man to Columbia
and South Carolina.
A student, profound thicker
and a writer of great force, he
served his state nobly. He
measured up to all the require
ments of a conscientious and
faithful editor. His death i*
a distinct loss.
A meeting was held in Cam
den yesterday, over which
Capt. W.. M, {Shannon was a*k
ed to preside and Mr. C. W.
Birchmore to act as Secretary,
and upon motion a committee
wasappointed todraft suitable
resolutions of sympathy upon
the death of Mr. Gonzales.
The following was prepared
by hem:
Mr. A. E. Gonzales,
Columbia, S. C.
The citizens of Camden, in
mass meeting assembled, here
by express their profound griel
and indignation at the taking
of the life of the brilliant and
patriotic editor of The State,
and beg to extend their synv
pathy to his stricken family.
Thos. J. Kirk land,
R. M. Kennedy,
W. L. DePass.
The mass meeting also in
structed the above committee
to procure a floral tribute to
be placed upon the casket of
the distinguished and fearless
editor. This they have done,
the words "a tribute of sym
pathy and esteem from the
citizens of Camden." being
attached to the lovely tribute
of flowers.
Mr. J, M. Sowrll, the new
County Supervisor, believes
that every one who is liable to
road duty should be compelled
to pay a commutation tax
in lien of working the road.
In other words make the com
mutation tax compulsory. In
this we agree with Mr. Soweil.
It really looks worse than
child's play to be uwarning
out" handb. So important a
matter as keeping our high
ways in decent condition,
should be done in a more busi
ness-like way.
Tmc people of Kershaw
county were delighted at the
action of the legislature in
making Hon. M. L. Smith
Speaker of the house. He is
possessed of a brilliant mind
and will make an impartial
presjdiug officer. His election
to /the Speakership was an
overwhelming one. This hon
or has been worthily beutowed.
b Mr. L M. Grist, senior mem
ber of the firm of L. M. Grist
& Sons, proprietors of the
Yorkville Enquirer, died at his
I home on the 15th inst. Mr.
Gmt had been connected with
the newspaper businoss for a
^ long time, and was a \ery
' highly esteemed man.

In May there was au erup- j
*,ion of Mout Pelen, a voleanoe !
m the Uland of Martiuique, !
which proved very destructive. |
b'or Bovenil days before, rum- |
bhug noil's were heard and a .
, day or too before the main
I eruption, a minor eruption oc
cured. The lava ran down one
side of the mountain and cov
ered a factory with over two
hundred people in it. i
Some of the citizens of St.
Pierre, a city', at the foot of the '
mountain, becoming frighten
ed, Hed from the p'ace.
Just before the main erup
tion, there was a loud explos
ion and almost imnwliat'dv
ashes began to fall and the la
va began to flow down the i ^ r?
of the mountain. In a f?'w
minutes the city wn<( eovpnd
and about thirty or forty t hou
sand were dostroyed Only a
few hundred of the inhabitants
escaped and those were SHved
by almost superhuman efforts.
The coronation of King Ed
ward VII of England took
flace about the first of August,
t was to take place in June
hut he got sick and it had to
be put ( ff. He was also crown
ed Emperor of India by proxy
at Delhi.
There win a great coal strike
in Pennsylvania and the west
ern stages It. lasted for two or
three months but was at last
settled by a board of arbitrat
ion.
Thorp was a ' rouble bet ween
England and Germany and
Venezuela. Venezuela refused
to nay her debts so England
ana Germany seized her fleet
which was in the harbor of
Caracas. Castro the President,
siezed all the German and En
glish citizens and put them in
prison- but was forced to re
lease them. At the petition of
the citizens of Caracas, ho a
greed to pay his debts thus set
tling the question.

Age 16. Grade 10.
frotible Erents of 1902
The year 1902 has been full
of interesting events.
f The first worthy of mention
ing 18 ^be ?>uption of Mont
telee, which occurred in May
of the year mentioned.
Mt. Pelee is a voleanoe in
the Island of Martinique. The
9}^ Pierre is at its base.
Mt. I elne was known to be a
live voleanoe, but it had not
acted for some time, so when
a few days before the eruption
noises were heard to proceed
from the mountain, the citi
?^n.s ^hought nothing of it.
put those noise* had dreadful
import. A few days later the
mountain suddenly vomited
forth torrents of ashes, cinders
smoke, and rock upon the town
Ihese were followed by lava.
, ^'10 eruption continued for
the short space of 25 minutes,
yetin that time 4000 lives were
lost and the city of St. Pierre
destroyed. Only a few hundred
survivors escaped, and nearly
all of them were badly burned
by the hot falling mud. They
described the scene as ^Glimn
ses of Hell." p
The next important event was
the coronation of King Edward
v II which was to haveoccured
in June but was postponed uu
? li August on account of the
king s sickness.
The most important event,
save one, was the coal strike
It continued for two or three
months and the lack of coal
becamo so great that coal rose
to 130 per ton. John Mitchell
was the great leader of the
strike and by his example the
strikers held together until the
mine owners agreed to arbi
trate the question. This they
did, by the President's advice*
i ho greatest event of the
year was the troublo with
Venezuela. Castro, the presi
of Venezuela, had just succeed
ed in putting down the revolu
tionists, when England and
Uermany demanded that Von
joUf ?auy- '?er debt8? Castro
declaiod his inability to do so.
-herefore the allies threatened
ml nr<i war* J!iey were join
*1 3 and lHinr !>y Spain
,The United
StntoB threatened to take the
vr enBzll?,a> virtue
??"roe Doctrine. This
checked the movements of the
allies, ana Castro, yielding to
the importunities of tho citi
CiuraCft8' U,ey a?r0ed
to settle the question by arbi
tration. Venozuela arranged to
borrow the money from a New
