In the death of N. G. Gonzales South
Carolina loses one of her bravest and
most patriotic sons. He dared to do
right whatever the odds and whatever
the cost. As an editorial writer and
citizen his best efforts and energies were
given for the upbuilding of Columbia
and South Carolina, and while we often
disagreed with him as to methods, there
was no questioning his sincerity of purpose.
Personal aggrandizement or selfseeking
he scorned, but with a single
' c purpose to better the State and city he
loved so well, he followed the path of
duty though often misunderstood, misrepresented
and maligned. He was one
of the strongest writers of vigorous English
in the South, and he never beat about
the bush. One method only was his: the
direct one. He was a terror to evil doers
in political and public circles, and his
enemies of this ilk will rejoice at his
death. "We, in common with many of the
best citizens of the State, deplore his
death and extend sincerest sympathy to
. the bereaved ones. His work was one
sadly needed in South Carolina, and we
trust, for the good of the State and its

||| The Colombia Tragedy.
La9t Thursday afternoon about halfpast
wie o'clock, in the city of Columbia,
Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor of the State
newspaper, was shot by Lieutenant Governor
Jas. H. Tillman, from the effects of
which wound his death occurred Monday
afternoon last at one o'clock. The story
if- of the sad tragedy is fully told in another
part of this newspaper. Mr. Gonzales
* had left his office on Main street and
|^K^^tarted to dinner, meeting Tillman, who
|HHpF just left the State house and was
Pi^^walking down street, accompanied by
Senator Talbird, of Beaufort. Several
others were along, the Senate having
" just adjourned. As the party met Gonzales,
Tillman, without a word, drew a
pistol and shot him in the stomach, inflicting
a mortal wound. Gonzales said:
"Shoot again, you coward," but Tillman
lowered his pistol. Tillman was at once
arrested and put in jail. Gonzales was
carried to the hospital for treatment,
where he lingered in agony until his
death. These are the brief facts in one
of the most awful tragedies that ever
occurred within the borders of South
' Carolina.
2^. v *
The high esteem in which the dead man
was held, not only in this State, but all
over the South, has been manifested by
the many expressions of sympathy that
have come from public men and editors. <
This newspaper has never yet violated
>v. a rule of its own, which is, not to attempt
to prejudice public sentiment either for
or against a man who is to be tried for
his life for the killing of a fellow-being.
This, however, is an unusual case. When
the second, highest executive official of
the proud State of South Carolina, only
a few moments before acting as presiding
officer of the State Senate, walks out into
V the .street with two big pistols concealed
his person and without a word shoots
an unoffending citizen, it is high
time for all who love their State and believe
in law and order, to speak in no uncertain
tones.
There is no doubt but that Tillman
killed Gonzales because of the editorial
opposition to him in his race for governor.
It is true the editor said hard things,
but were they not true? Tillman never
attempted to disprove them, and he tailed
to seek satisfaction at the time these editorials
were printed. Months had elapsed
since anything had appeared in the State
against Tillman, and Gonzales had no
intimation that bodily harm was intended.
The act can be only characterized as premeditated,
wilful murder, with malice
aforethought, and could only have been
perpetrated by one who was a thorough
coward at heart. He waited for months
to pass, so that even if his victim had expected
trouble, his fears would have been
allayed and he would take him unawares.
Gonzales was given no chance for his life
*?he was shot down without warning?
in a brutal and cowardly manner. He
was unarmed when killed, aod even if he
had been it would have been of no avail.
A peaceful citizen should walk the
streets in the daytime, in a civilized community,
feeling a sense of security against
the attacks of murderers and assassins.
Is it so in South Carolina? Murder
after murder has been committed in this
State in the past few years, and how
many white men have paid the death
penalty for their crimes? In the uame
of the Almighty, are such things to continue
? Are we to come to the pass when
no man's life is safe against attacks such
as these; when the peaceable citizen is to
at thp merev of the oistol toter. the
thug, and the bull)'? If we are to go
back to a period like unto the mining
and cowboy times of the West, when
human life was as cheap as water aud no
man was punished for his crimes, let us
know it. If we are to make political
heroes of lawless men and assassins, then
we say God help South Carolina, and we
say it reverently. The spirit of lawlessness
has touched the high and the low,
the rich and the poor, and some remedy
must be found. It is plain and simple.
Hang a few white men and the lawlessness
and killing will cease.
We quote the following from a sermon
preached in Charleston last Sunday by
Dr. J. A. B. Scherer, an eminent Lutheran
divine, well known in this couuty. He
delivered the memorial address at Rivers'
Bridge a few years ago. In speaking of
the prevalence of lawlessness in this
State he said:
"A year ago the chief representatives of
this State in the National Government ejt?.
gaged in a vulgar fight on the floor of
the United States Senate, creating the impression
upon the world that our very
leaders and lawmakers are violent and
lawless men. The other day a tragedy
occurred in Columbia. Lot us not prejudge
the (rase of the individual; let the
courts take care of that. But the chief
actor in that tragedy was a public official,
the Lieutenant Governor of the State,
and as such his act invites and demands
the severest public censure. Within five
days he would have laid aside his robes of
office and could have wreaked revenge as
a private citizen. But 110. Our shame
must be advertised with all the accessories
of high dramatic effect. Therefore
he walks from the Senate hall into the
streets of the Capital and, drawing a concealed
weapon from his person, slays an
unarmed enemy in cold blood. Those are
facts which no jury's verdict can annul;
and in deeds like these, wrought even by
the highest of our officials, the tiagrancy
of crime has reached its very acme, and
the blood of the most sluggish patriot is
stirred with shame for the old Palmetto
State."
Senator S. G. May Held.
The Bamberg papers announce the
fact that Hon. S. G. Mayfield will give
up his practice of law and devote his time

Mayfield is admittedly one of the foremost
lawyers in the State. His fees have
been fortunes in themselves and he took
a pride in his profession. His return to
farming means that he considers that
calling a noble one and worthy of the
best talents that the Creator gives. It
means that there is money in farming iu
this section when done right. Mr. Mayfield
has been as successful a farmer as
he has beeu lawyer. He was always a
leader in every agricultural enterprise,
always the first man to try experiments
that promised well for the farm, and
always gave to his neighbors the benefits
of those experiments.
By devoting his attention to stock raising
he will lead in the development of an
enterprise that South Carolina has long
been in need of. He is well equipped for
the work and he will undoubtedly make
a success of it. The State will get the
benefit of Mr. Mayfield's enterprise, and
while there are plenty of good lawyers to
maintain the dignity and honor of the
legal profession, the profession of agricullture
needs such recruits very badly.
There a are few of them. This section of
the state furnishes many more examples
of men of this sort in agriculture than all
the rest of the state combined. Recruits
are hailed with delight by all who recognize
the fact that the farm is the solid bed
rock foundation of the people and whatever
helps the farm and the farmer and
dignifies and elevates them will benefit
the State?Florence Times.
"The Greatest of These is Charity."
The following article is clipped from
the Ocala Banner, a newspaper published
in Florida, and was handed to us by a
friend here in town. It was published
under the heading of a Sunday sermon
by the editor:
Faith, hope, charity; * * but the greatest
of these is charity."?1 Cor. 13-13.
Man is the greatest yet the weakest of
ttod's creation. ?ie is prone to evil. 11
is a part of his inheritance. He should,
therefore,be treated with tender pity, compassion,
love, tolerance and charity.
The principle characters mentioned iu
the holy scriptures are almost repetitions
of man's weaknesses and wickednesses.
Very few led stainless lives.
Adam, the first man, ate the forbidden
fruit and cowardly attempted to fasten
his sin upon the woman, and Eve, no
better than her husband, tried to shield
herself by fastening it upon the serpent.
Cain, in a tit of jealous}', slew his
younger brother.
Noah, who alone with his family
escaped the awful destruction of the flood,
celebrated his rescue, as soon as he could
make the wine, by getting drunk, and
Ham, his younger son, who wanted to expose
him, received a curse which will be
felt by his posterity through all time to
come, and Shem and Japeth, who gently
hid their father away from exposure,
were blessed.
That is the first temperance sermon on
record and it is entirely different from
the Carrie Nation performances of our
times.
Abraham, to savehis own life, was willing
to sacrifice his wife's honor, and by
denying that she was his wife, permitted
her "to be seized and placed in an Egyptian
Seraglio.
Isaac, for fear of his life, denied his
wife, also, and Jacob stole his brother's
birthright.

the sand, and when he found out that his
crime had been discovered, fled in order
to escape punishment.
His crime was condoned and Moses was
greatly honored of God. He talked with
him "face to face." He was selected to
deliver the Israelites from bondage, yet in
a fit of rage, he threw down the tabies of
stone containing the commandments and
broke them.
David had Uriah slain in order to secure
the beautiful Bath-Sheba for his own
evil purposes, and Solomon had entirely
too many wives.
We find that human nature was the
same in new testament times that it was
in old testament times.
Christ selected twelve men for his disciples.
They recognized Him as the
Master and vowed Him their allegiance.
Though all others would forsake him
they would be with Him to the end of the
world, yet they fled upon the first scent
of danger.
When Christ was arrested by the
Roman soldiers only one of his disciples
stood by him to defend him.
Judas betrayed him for money.
Peter, upon whom he leaned more than
the others, deserted him.
He even attended his trial diguised or,
at least, did not let himself be known.
After the trial a damsel went up to him
and said: "Thou also wast with Jesus of
Galilee."
Peter lied to her.
He said: "I know not what thou
say est:" .
Still another damsel recognized him
and said to those about her;
"This fellow was also with Jesus of
Nazereth."
Peter again lied flatly.
He said tp her: "I do not know the
man."

form a large part of the warp and woof
of bible history.
Even those the most highly favored of
God sinned.
So the church and the world should
not condemn too severely those of us now
who occasionally stumble and fall by the
wayside.
See how severely Christ condemned
the Pharisees?those who proclaimed!
that they were better than their fellows.
Then see what a beautiful place all
through the New Testament is given to
"Charity."
It does not mean merely the giving of
alms. That is its smallest meaning. In
its broader sense it means forgiveness. It
means tolerance?tolerance of the faults
and opinions of sinful men and women.
Christ knew that men were weak. He
knew that there was no such thing us
perfection in human nature. He knew
that it was impossible for men to see
alike, or feel alike, or do alike. He knew
that difference would arise in scriptual
interpretations and tierce and bitter antagonisms
would result, so the most beautiful
tribute is given to this word in his
description of it, and He personally exemplifies
it in his last act ami in his last
utterance.
Speaking in behalf of the rabble who
were attending his crucifixion, spitting
upon him and mocking him, He said :
"Forgive them they know not what
thev do."
Tfiat is the loftiest explanation and exemplification
of charity that is recorded.
So the followers of Christ ought to be
imbued with the same lofty soirit. They
should not judge in haste. They should
not be one-sided.
Their whoje creed should be expressed i
jn the one word :
"Charity!"
killing in Branehville.
Branch vi i.i.k, January 20.?Annie
Evans, colored, was killed here early
yesterday morning in Richard Sweat's
house. A jury was immediately summoned
to hold an inquest and, after
almost a day's investigation, Richard
Sweat was arrested for the crime. The
gun that she is supposed to have been
shot with was fouud in the bed between
the mattresses. Sweat gave a different
tale about the gun being secreted in the
bed from that told by his wife. She did
not know the gun was in the bed, and he
said that she put it in the bed. The
daughter of the deceased told still another
story, stating that when she heard the
shooting she jumped up and saw her
mother lying on the floor, and about that
time Sweat rapped on the back door to
let him in.
The negroes collected in squads last
night, threatening to lynch Sweat, but up
to this writing Sweat is still alive and he
will be carried to Orangeburg this morning
to await trial at the next term of
Court.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Branciiville, January 19.?A probable
murder was committed here this morning.
About daybreak a colored woman, named
Anna Evans, was sitting by a newly
kindled tire in her house when she was
shot and killed. It is only a month since
nn Mttmiint. \vn?* mndo to nnf. Jin pnd to
her in a similar manner. So far there is
no clew to the perpetrator of this deed,
nor is it known what was the motive for
the crime. The affair will be fully investigated.
Exchange of Compliments.
The village sexton, in addition to being
a gravedigger, acted as stonecutter, house
repairer and furniture mover.
The local doctor, having obtained a
more lucrative appointment in another
count}', employed the sexton to assist in
his removal.
When it came to settling up accounts
the doctor deducted an old contra account
due by the sexton. He wrote at the same
time, objecting to the charge made for removing
his furniture:
"If this was steady, it would pay much
better than gravedigging."
The sexton replied:
"Iudade, Oi wud be glad to have a
steady job; gravediggin' is very slack
since you left."
The Mother ttirl.
She is not a bud of fashion, nor a butterfly
of style,
And there are no bogus trimmings in the
make-up of her smile;
She needs no artificial fixing to enhance
her girlish charms,
And a god would go in raptures o'er the
plumpness of her arms
As she washes up the dishes and the minutes
speed along,
Dancing gaily as they pass her to the
music of her song.
In her eyes a soft impression of a pure
maternal love
That must surely be the envy of those
angels up above.
She's the joy of every home
Underneath yon arching dome
Till she gives her heart's affection to another?
Lucky he who wins the true,
Loving, loyal maiden who
Tries to lift the daily burden from her
mother.
When the weekly toil is over, and she
dons her Sunday gown,
There is not a pampered darling on the
earth can turn her down
In the winning game of beauty; not a
fashionable pearl,
Though ablaze with costly, jewels can
outshine the mother girl.
Sweet simplicity is noted in her unassuming
grace,
And she needs no color touching to put
bloom into her face,
For the blood of health is coursing
through her veins, her rosy blush
Isn't made for the occasion by the decorative
brush.
She's the very fairest gem
In our beauty diadem.
Search creation and you cannot find another
On the face of all the earth
That possesses half the worth
Of the girl who lifts the burden from her
mother. ?New York News.

Oil Fire in Charleston.
Charleston, S. C., January 10.?A fire
broke out in the warerooms of the Standard-Oil
company near the city's eastern
water front to-night. Forty-three barrels
of oil were burned and three firemen were
badly but not fatally injured by the flames.
Many of the barrels exploded causing
great consternation. A ten-thousand
gallon iron tank about twenty feet from
the burning building held 3,000gallons of
gasoline and the fear of its catching fire
was great.
The people near by deserted their homes
and intense excitement prevailed in that
part of the city. Had it exploded the loss
of life and property would have been
very great. The tire is now under control.

Kodol does for the stomach that which it
is unable to do for itself, even when but
slightly disordered or over-loaded. Kodol
supplies the natural juices of digestion
and does the work of the stomach, relaxing
the nervous tension,while the inflamed
muscles of that organ are allowed to rest
and heal. Kodol digests what you eat
and enables the stomach and digestive
organs to transform all food into rich,red

Nast's First Hunt.
A good shot and an entertaining story
teller, the late "Tom" Nast was welcome
during the shooting season at a number
of country houses in England. But his
lirst invitation was a bitter lesson to him,
simply because he failed to observe the
sharp differentiation between hunting
"as she is known" in England and in this
country. On board ship Nast made the
acquaintance of a Hertfordshire man, a
master of the hounds near St. Albans.
Nast received and promptly accepted an
invitation to hunt. "I never felt quite
so insignificant on my life," he used to
say in telling the story, "as when I arrived
at the rendezvous and saw that
brilliant meet, the men in their scarlet
coats and the jolly looking women on
their line mounts, and there was I,
trudging along the road with a game bag
and a gun."
Finds Way to Live Long.
The startling announcement of a discovery
that will surely lengthen life is
made by editor O. H. Downey, of Churubusco,

"that Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption
is the most infallible remedy
that I have ever known for coughs, colds
and grip. It's invaluable to people with
weak lungs. Having this wonderful

Some society women of Stamford,
Conn., proposed to hold shortly a field
trial tournament for cats. The idea was
to release a mouse or several mice in a
pen where the cats were placed, and take
time on the performance of the cats in
killing the mice. "It will be lots of fun,"
said Mrs. Cummings, president of the
local cat club; "I have got two mousers
that can beat anything." But the Mayor
of the town has declined to permit the
tournament. "I think the exhibition
would be illegal, cruel and demoralizing,
and I will not permit it to be held, if "I
have to call out all of the police," declared
the Mayor.

vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling it
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges ol
terrible rheumatism; others run down b)
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, ar<
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.

the worker's friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and full)
restore strength to the weak body and vigor tc
