He contrasted this to thestate that existed when Mr. Gon zales was killed. In answering/he reference brought out by Mr. Ijielson concerning the conversation Which occurred with r Mr. W.<>#i^lbbeft, be said that the caws dfeclded by the Court were not for change of venue, but were those In which motions have been a: made to quash the, Indictment and cliallenge the array of jurors on ac« .count of the illegal drawing of jurors, -”ln the case of Sullivan, where the sheriff wis J«ist elected it would have been four years before the defendant could have gotten a trial, and In that case Judge Mclver granted a change of venue. As the law now stands two commis sioners can draw the Jury and It is not fiecessary for a change of venue on this ground. Gen. Bellinger then wentovet the affidavits presented hy the defence. One of the affidavits makes an in sinuation that a Northern paper had tnade suggestions that a fund be raised to prosecute Tillman. These affidav its are so prejudiced for the defendant that they cah have np force with the Court. They further state that citi zens of Richland have come to them saying that Tihman could pot get a fair trial ip this county. These affida vits seem to be merely suppositions gnd are not baaed on facts. ft forsooth under these trying cir- ^cumstances the publishers of , the State should say something that is not discreet in reference to this case, would the defendant t>e deprived of _ifetting a fair trial here? Indeed it * nas been .said throughout the whole State of South Carolina that the news- ' papers have been mild in the handling of tills ease. The surviving brother of Mr. Con* sales, who began thjs paper twelve years ago, have had wiTtpower enough to suppress the two thousahd articles which have come into their Office. Within less than one lumdred yaj'ds for ten years lie was shot down hy Till man and there was no attempt of violence against him. He has spent five months In jail without any Gover nor's Guards or any protection what ever. Tillman .goes around now w.th as much protection and safety as any per son in south Carolina. Because the State forsooth publishes articles about liars, thieves and crimJ- n&ls, as does any other reputable pa- G r, the defence thinks that it is done prejudice the people of Richland County against Jame.i II. Tillman. “Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind. The th'ef doth fear each J>ush an officer.” Because the State has declined just tribute to Mr. George R. Kembert and Col. 1*. H. Nelson 1 see no reason why the affidavit of Mr. I Rembert should have any force. : Gen Bellinger, in conclusion, stated briefly the reason why the change should not be granted-T He^made a powerful argument aiftf was^eagerly heard by the hundreds of people in the Court room. MR. TIIURIIOKp's AROtfiriCNT. Solicitor J. W. Thurmond followed for the State and began his argument by bringing to the attention of the Court what was ‘ necessary for the granting of a change of venue.- Why do they ask for this change? _ First. Because there are only l/kw white Jurors out of 4,000 voters. Tills certainly should not be sufficient grounds for the change. Because Mr. W. H. Gibbes had made a statement that he was opposed to Tillman, and because lie is county auditor the chabge should be granted. Mr. Thurmond showed that the Sulli van ease, which had been referred to, was not at all similar. The next point refuted was that because a few citizens had subscribed to a monument fund. This should not wrap public opinion in such a man ner as to prevent the defendant from obtaining a fair and Impartial trial. Several cases were referred to^n which it had been decided that news paper editorials should not be sufficient grounds for a change of venue. It is well established that when the prejudice is confined to one locality a chainge of venue cannot be granted. Solicitor Thurmond spke for forty minutes and made a forcible argument, bringing out many points of law which had not been touched upon by his associates. At the conclusion of Solicitor Thur mond’s argument Ex-Judge O. W. Buchanan, who is connectd with the counsel for the defence, arose and ad dressed t he (:uurt. A TIRADE AGAINST THE PRESS. Judge Buchanan said that he r had not expected to say anything in the case, but he was so impressed with the treati^pnt of the defendant hy the >pf oh ftfrftihtt qJlftrtWft^or ft» Mw-., j TownMud Interrupted b Go) Qec—' tWpjr, until 4 flftefm minute# tbfttbe supposed ,; would say same- then took » recess ns wsinu mmm msml ' Mfteft *■ AkUeftte ffeti* Mays ea4 AJrt*, Ex-Judge Buchanan's speech took up all of tne time of. the defence except twenty minutes, and, jftlthougU Oil Croft offered to allow the other slde^ anot her speech If his time was extend ed, the offer was refused.-but as.al matter of fact he took up thirty-five minutes and was stopped by the Judge. *... J ' , COL CROFT'S ARGUMENT. The ttftesbftM K#r*14 eftfa ttift'eftU> lofue uf the Oarljale ♦‘Itting fiphool hasjqftt been isaued, We deftlre to note some of the more-important facta as givep here. - J^rof. Jl, Q, Sheridan, for the-past two years Hoad Master of the instltutipn, haa been retained. The Board acted wisely. Prof, Sheridan is not only a success ful teacher and disciplinarianbutalso a representative of the parents whose sons and daughters are his students., Enjoying the esteem and close friend ship of every student, he makes a great contribution not only to the in tellectual but also to the moral man- Col ODft argued f. 1 of th* question and declared that the only thing to be considered Is whether there Js a reasonable doubt that a fair'trial cannot be had. To say that this appeal is a slur upon the people is a narrow and contracted view, when It is a constitutional right. He held the people here to tie as pure and as good as any Others, but they are no better. The asking of the chahge 14 not only not* unreasonable, but It is but natural that It should be. Before this case arose no man had been so traduced and slandered as this defendant. He was denounced as a debauche, liar, coward and of no repute so far as the public press is concerned. He dwelt with much emphasis upon this phase of the case, and went on to say that the Influence of the State had been used to saturate the minds of the pco- le with poison against the defenoapt. ‘e referred continually to the fact that (ionaales was spoken of as a martyr and Tillman as a murderer and assassin. He referred to an edi torial written hy the Rev Hr Evans in the State calling Tillman a murderer and assassin. I’uhlicat ions from otlier papers continually added tiro to the flames of prejudice. The whole com munity was st irred up; its chief men in commercial life, its preachers, its women and even Its children.,,, They were all riiade tolielieve thatGonaales died for the honor of the country, while every man that knows that his attacks on Tillman were actuated by the deepest venom. They had been swept away from the mooring of their corifterv*Jism. He never haa been so jig life as when the press to publish the affi davits in this case before they were submitted to the Court. Only because the State’s attorneys refused to allow it were the hands of the press tied, lie then paid his respects to the editor or the Record, whom he said was so biased that he had no iaea of fairness or a decent regard for right when It came to considering this caser He declared that Gen Jones had felt the on the law hopd of the students. la his depart- surprised in his life of the city asked..t meht of mathematics and science, he will still be assisted by Miss Pet Stephens, who„has been associated with Prof. Sheridan since his connec tion with the rchuol. We do not hesi tate to say that no happier selection could have been made. The selection of Miss Stephens has the endorsement of the whole body of students as well as that of the community, abroad. Sbe fills her place in the giyls’ board ing department and In the school room with entire satisfaction. In the departments of English and his tory, and of Lfttin and Greek, we ob serve that Prftf. W. C. Owen and Prof. 4. Clifton Rpdmon have been elected. These young men are graduates of Wofford College. No higher tribute could be paid than that paid by Dr. Jas. 11. Carlisle and President II. N.

They bring with them ability, young life and enthusiasm which, will add thought to the faculty.

He began In an,jjgipass,ipned manner, saying that atlihO||me ihe press of the country was regarded with respect and honor, but now reTipuallled with 1 the great force of money.«With the great sweep ing wave of the war there came what Is known as “commercialism.” Now we have “newspaper oratory and news paper bawling.” Judge Buchanan bitterly denounced the State as a paper which lashed, slashed and beat men to fury. A man of to-day dares not utter his indepen dent oplonion unless he is ridiculed by the newspapers of the country. Dur ing the whole argument Mr.-Buchanan showed much feeling and his speech created a flutter among those present. He said that “theState” was trying the attorneys for the defence, but that he had Uvea a free man and would die one. He did not propose to be tyranniz ed by the newspapers. Continuing, he said: “Don’t you know that you can go to any one on the street and ask, r Blll, how about this case?’ and he will reply: ‘Oh you can’t get a fair trial here; these newspapers down the street have been inflaming the min Is of the people to that a fair trial is impossible.

Mr. Nelson said Tillman was anx ious for a speedy'Cflal and ohly two counties were now field and Saluda. Mr. Thurmond spoke of the incon veniences of Saluda, and suggested either Kershaw or Lexington. As to a speedy trial he said Edgefield Court would be held the first Monday in August; Saluda the third, Camden the first Monday In Septemlier and LexlMtoa Gie third. Mr. Crawford expressed serious objections to Saluda because it was practically the home of the defendant, being the county of which George D. Tillman was the father, and tbe State would not have an equal show of fair ness there with the defendant. Col Croft ridiculed the idea that George D. Tillman's work In behalf of Saluda would affect the judgment of the people. He made light of the fifteen miles of rocky road the wit nesses would have to travel to get to tlie Court House from the nearest railroad station, and mentioned four or live “hotels and boarding houses” people could stop at. LET THE STATE HAVE A CHANCE. Mr. Bellinger declared that it would be wrong to take the case to Saluda, because it would be taking it to & county where the State would be at a great disadvantage. He declared that We have here In our midst the op portunity offered tb our young people for a thorough education at a most reasonable cost. We understand that a student in all departments can spend a year here at the low cost of 1107, paying for board, tuition and all fees. To the young people of our town, this education is offereef for the sum of $:t5;r When we consider the advan tages offered; a fine library, two fine debating, societies,T.he association In the class-room with teachers, and with young men and young women from all parts of middle and lower South Car olina, we esteem it an opportunity enjoyed by but few communities.

Gladden, a member of the legislature of the State of West Virginia. In writing for a copy of the election laws of Sonth Carolina, he says: “We expect to reclaim West Vir ginia’s good old Democracy at the general election of 1904 and If we suc ceed we want to establish election and registration laws in order to eliminate the negro vote. This would also ki^ the ignorant white vote, largely Re- pyblicrn, flowing into the State be cause of its industrial devlopment. The coming of the element into State is whftt carried it Republican. But since Republican rule Is greatly on tbe wane we have good prospects to carry it for Democracy. If such should' be the case we expect to enact such laws as would hold it In line for all time.” Negroes Excited. muolty had been so and poisoned hy the newspapers that many had been fo ’ ' a* forced to sign affidavits tor the prosecution for fear that if they did not do ao their families would suf fer on account of the pressure brought to bear by “the State.” Every busi- nesa man in tbe State Is unaet the domination of tbe mighty newspapers. Judge Buchanan, continuing, said BatXhe - ^ - gone ao far as to be lashed and tbe poor fellows have been made i here and swear that there is of the Gospel 1 by this fiend, Negro lyncfilngs in,two northern states within a month have aroused the colored people of Chicago to tre mendous pitch of excitement and pro test. The burning of a negro at the stake near Wilmington, Del., has es pecially aroused them and added to the recent killing of David Wyatt at Belleville, III., has brought the agita tion against mob violence to an acute stage. At the Quinn Chapel meeting squad-of police, however, quickly dto? persed the participants. Two arrests were made. A gang of negroes tram berlng probably_two hupdred who had been marching up and down Ninth street were challenged by-about twen ty-five white men and in the battle that followed over a hundred shots were exchanged. A squad of police men uuder Captain Evans and Serge ant McDermot rushed to the scene and charged upon tl;e mob. The negroes and whites scattered and fled in all directions but the police succeeded in capturtpg two negroes. Several per sons .were wounded. —“ Fourteen Genu Cotton. The Anderson correspondent of The State says the Cox Cotton milk of that city sold 100 bales of cotton last week at 14 cent per pound. The cot- Tra, ot the upland Ion, ^ Tub variety and came from the Mississippi bottom -hinds. It is known as the .“Sfiasisslppl Bender.” This cotton usually sells for 1 cent to 1 1-4 cents higher than the ordinary short staple- The Cox mliriisr morS cotton on hand than was needed to run until the new crop comes in, and as a fancy price was offered it was decided to sell a part of it. The cotton was bought for 10 cents and some of it for less, so a handsome price was realized. The mill still has on hand enough cotton to run on full time until the new" crop comes in. Grant Got the Worst of It. 4t * recent meeting of Confederate veterans in Richmond a story was told which, if true, shows that once at least Grant lost his characteristic, im- pcrtpbablity, While he was in Vlr- OHtygdniS during the civil war an old lady sent her grandson to ask where he was going. The general answered gruffly: “Tell your grandmother that 1 am going to Richmond or Peters burg or heaven or hell.” The boy came back In half an hour and said to the Federal commander: “My grand mother says you can’t go to Richmond because Gen. Lee is there; you can’t go to Petersburg because Gen, Bjudtor Hr-BjcfrUmd Egwtn»t*Dhc agoftut the whites speeches were made against lynch logs and oojored men were urged to arm themselves and -protect their race land Beauregard is there, and you can’t go to heaven because Gen.

W the mob of nearly 5,lK)C, which overpowered thd ^authorities, and stormed the Newcastle- county work house, and dragged from his cell the trem^HK wretch, and burned him at the slakes the identity of only one is publicly known. That person is Peter Smith, twelve years old, who fell when the work bouse guards tired a volley into the ranks of the attack ing mob. The lad was.struck by a bullet, which entered bis backt-and is thought to- have penetrated his kidneys. At the hospital, where the boy was taken, the physicians state, that he is in aserlous couditiod. After th^hiob had completed its awful work of vengeance, the body of the negro ravisbpr and murderer was left, chain ed to the stake, with fire burning all around it^ and tbe members of the lynching party went home. The rain, which began later, extinguished the fire, and, at daylight, the charred body still hung limp in plain sight of passers _by.. Public sentiment, here, so far as expressed, appears to approve the lynching of White, and It is not believed that there will be any arrests. White’s confession—made just before the torch was applied to the pile of oil soakeiL bushes around him—was the admission of everything and more than had been charged aginst him. He is stated to have said: “I was sent, by Mr. Woodward, to a corn field to try some com, I saw Mr, Woodward's daughter, and intended to asaault her, but a couple of men came along, and I did noLdisturhhcr. Then I Saw the Bishop girl, and I followed her. I seized her, and asked her if she had any money, and if she would give it to me to let her go. She gave me HO cent.
