Senator Tillman has been accused of entering into a conspiracy with divers persons to defeat Blease for Governor next year.

Crews, or as he is more widely known, “Bose” Crews, is edit ing a newspaper in Greenwood, the first issue of which appeared on Sep tember 22. . t. Following the “Announcement” and a few other matters, appears an editorial entitled, “The Plot Against Blease” and it is in this article that the editor charges Senator Tillman with conspiring and plotting with John G. Richards and Ira B. Jones to defeat Blease for a second term as Governor. Senatoe Tillman, who has made public statement to the effect that he will be hands-off in the Governor's race, w^s naturally a little wounded by the article, especially since It was from the pen of one so closely relat ed to tl»e Senator’s staunch support er in the days of the'DOs. Consequent ly. Senator Tillman replied to the editorial in a letter to "Bose,” cop ies fit which were distributed for publication. The letter from Senator Tttlman is as follows: Trenton, S.

Half of the business section has been destroyed, together with a part of the residence district, and it is alleged by the townspeople, who have Crews, son of one} taken-refuge on high lands, that the town will be wiped out. Whether or not lives have been lost is yet un certain. The people have been scattered, and canvasses are being made to de termine how piany, if any, are miss ing. Thus far two persons have not been accounted for. The town is in darkneea. the. electrtc light plant being one of the first to be struck by the flood. At seven o’clock Friday night be tween twenty-five and thirty business houses, comprising all the stores on both sides of two streets, have been destroyed, together with an equal number of houses. At that hour the waters were still rising rapidly, and the destruction of the stores in the other 'business streets is looked for every minute.

An Augusta, Ga., dispatch says the operations of trains on the Georgia & Florida railroad met with the first material resistance from the striking firemen and sympathizers in this vi cinity Wednesday evening, when two freight trains were stopped by mobs and the train crews overpowered. Four employes of the company were seriously injured, one of them sus taining a fractured skull.

All the injured men are strike breakers and are now in the city hos pital.

Gave Himself Up Because His Con science Troubled Him.—He Was Surprised to l^arn that He Had Killed Two Women Instead of One as He Supposed. Two people were killed in Hsck- ett’s, Washington County, Pa., by Stuart Palmer, the negro who sur rendered himself to the Charleston police a few days ago, instead of one as Palmer thought, according to the statement made Thursday to a re porter for The News and Courier by County Detective William McCreary, of Washington County, who arrived In Charleston Thursday and took Palmer back to Pennsylvania with him. Palmer stated that he had not known that he had killed two, but that It was all the same thing. Gounty Detective McCreary arriv ed in Charleston Thursday morning and spent most of his dime at police neadquarters, whither Stuart was taken from the jail. He had beet notified of the arrest of Palmer a few days before by Chief Boyle, and had left for Charleston as soon as ha could secure the necessary papers. He recognized Palmer as soon as he saw him. Mr. McCreary seemed to be of the opini^^that Palmer had a very good case^F self-defence. The detective knew the circumstances of the case and treated the negro very kindly. He said that he would report to the authorities in Pennsylvania the good conduct of the negro while in Char leston, and it is expected that Pal mer’s behavior here after surrender ing himself, together with his quiet and confident demeanor, will go a long way in his favor. Palmer is a tall negro, between 30 and 40 years of age. - During.the time he was on the road and in jail he grew small side whiskers.. His face is not an unpleasalir one, and his manner is quiet and subdued. He answered all questions put to him by the authorities very readily, and tells a very straight story of the whole affair. When asked by the reporter to tell how the trouble occnrred. Palmer said that the whole thing began ov er a crap game in which he was playing. He said he had some words with another negro In the game, and that he gave the latter a slight scratch on the cheek with a pen knife. Shortly after this, he said, two women, friends of the man with whom he had had the trouble, threat ened him, but he took no notice of it. The day after this, Palmer said, he went to the two women and asked them If he had offended them. The women cursed him and threatened him again, one showing a large gun. In the room, Palmer stated, were olso the mother of one of the women, and the man with whom he had had the trouble originally. The woman with the gun, accord ing to the story, pointed it at Pal mer and led him to believe she was going to kill him. Palmer then another had an Idea It .was some- reached in his pocket forjhls pistol, thing like a merry-go round and the other man in the room "grab- • ‘ bed him around the waist from the back. Palmer then fired two shots into the room wildly and breaking loose, fled. He learned that one of the women had been killed. Palmer then started South, riding on freight trains and working here and there to get something to eat. After four weeks of this, he arrived in Charleston. His conscience, he said, troubled him so that he was forced to give himself up to the Charleston police and confess the killing. a Detect!v\e MicCVeary told (Palmef’ that two women had been killed by the fhots. Palmer seemed surprised but added after a few mlontes’ thought that he might as well be tried for killing two as one. Pal mer is reported to have told some of the men in the police station that he was tired of living and was ready to go back to Pennsylvania, even if they should hang him 7 . plpl ■' iKZ Tripoli has 1mm bombarded twice jy the Italian fleet.
