Narclseo Uener (ron/.ales, editor of the State, at Columbia, who was shot by Lieut. Cov. .lames II. Tillman, was born August fi, 18">s, at ICdingsvlllc. JSdlsto Island. He was the son of Ambrose Jos? (Jonxalcs, a native of Matnnzas, Cuba, who with Nareiseo Lopez, began the struggle for Cuban independence in is48. The elder Conzalcs was one of the junta of live members who declared the Independence of the island, adopted the present Cuban llag. and organized the first filibustering expedition under Lopez, of which he was second in command wit 11 the rank of brigadier general, lie was wounded at Cardenas, May, 20, 1850, after, which be was exiled under the sentence of death. In 1850 lie married Harriet Kutledge Klliott, youngest daughter of Hon. William Klliott, of Beaufort, lie served In the Confederate army as colonel and chief of art illery for the department of South Carolina, (ieorgla and Klorida, under Beauregard, Hardee. PembcrtfW and others, surrendering at Creensboro. During 1805 be was in charge of the artillery of Johnston's army. N. (J. Gonzales was taught at home until be was 10 years of age. When be was 15 be attended a private school in Virginia for one year. He receiv cd no furt her education, bis family being ruined by the war. lie worked as a laborer on a farm in Virginia, and for several years at the family homestead plantation in Colleton county. In 1875 he studied telegraphy, and from the summer of that year until the summer of 1870 he was employed as a telegraph operator at Varnevllle, Hampton county. In 187(5 ke organized the first Democratic Club on the line of the Port Koyal railroad, and was a campaign correspondent for the Charleston Journal of Commerce, the straight-out Democratic organization of that t ime. In the fall of 1877 he obtained a position as night operator for the Atlantic Gulf railroad, later the Plant system, and now the Atlantic Coast Line, at Savannah. A year later he was made operator and railroad clerk at Valdosta, Ga. Deleft Valdosta in June, 1880, on the invitation of A. B. Williams, whom be had met in the campaign of 187(5, and who bad then just assumed ehartre of t he Greenville l)ailv News. to serve in the position of local reporter for that paper. He left Greenville on August f>, 1880, to begin service with the Charleston News and Courier as its regular correspondent at Columbia, lie continued in this position until October, 1881, when he was sent to Washington act as its special correspondent in the exciting year following the death of President Garlield. He was present at the Gitcau trial and execution and the long session of the Korty-seventh Congress. In Agust, 1882, he was transferred to Charleston and placed on t he editorial stall of the News and Courier, with the understanding that he was ultimately to become the editor of the paper. Hut a few months latter, owing to a misunderstanding, he was sent back to Columbia, where, in ISH.'l, lie organized the News and Courier bureau, and continued in charge of its news and business departments until the election of Benjamin It. Tillman as Governor in 1890, reporting all the State campaigns and many famous trials in different parts of the State. His personal and political antagonism to Gov. Tillman indisposing him to have such relations with the state's chief executive as the policy of the V 3 i -I.. * % * i^uwfs aiiu courier required, lie resigned his position on that paper to take etTeet upon the close of the administration of (low Richardson. At that time lie intended to leave the State and thought of taking up newspaper work in tne Hawaiian Islands. lie was, however, urged to remain in Columbia and become the editor of a paper representing the views of the opponents of Tillman. This he agreed to do, and, with his brother, Ambrose E. Gonzales, he secured the necessary capital to start the State of which newspaper he was elected editor and manager. He purchased the plant, selected the force and organized the office of the State, beginning publication on February 18, 181H. After two years lie gave up the supervision of the business department, but he continued in control of the news and editoria departments of the State.

They were declined on the ground that he could be of greater aid to the cause in his editorial position. Before the declaration of war between the United States and Spain he sought, the means of taking up Cuba's cause on the soil of the island,but w;is disappointed. A few days after the declaration of war he vent to Tampa, where he was appointed a first lieutenant on the. staff of (ten. Umilio Nunez of the Cuban army, then preparing an expedition for the relief of (Jen. Maximo Gomez, in Central Cuba. This expedition could not get transportation until June 20, when It. sailed from Tampa in two steamers, the Florida and the Fanita, with a convoy, the Peotia. The expedition was two weeks In making a landing, l>cing repulsed at two points by the Spaniards, but on July 3, 1898, succeeding in disembarking at Palo Alta. on the South Coast of Cuba, a few mile* West of the con-11 tral trooha.

We should have it understood that it cannot seek t through great combinations and by c over-capitalization to create monono- ^ lies by means of which it can stifle s comput it ion, paralyze individual ellort, k reduce wages and cont rol prices to t he i detriment of the public. I It is true that great industrial coin- I binations and powerful corporations ( are the order of the day and have he- ( come tixturcsin the business life of the ^ country capable of Wielding an iin- ^ mouse power for good or for evil. Through skilled management, and possessing the ability to open up wider markets for the sale of t heir products, t t hey are capable of doing much good; nevertheless, the fact remains that, < as usually conducted, their tendency i Is decidedly harmful to the best inter- ( ectsof the country, and their proper i regulation and control t hrough legis- ) lation is one of the greatest problems j which to-day confronts our lawmakers ; both State and Federal. i A large majority of the States have ( enacted laws defining monopolies and ( seeking to prevent their formation. \ and Congress has likewise passed antitrust legislat ion, yet t he subject is so i complex and information upon which ; to base action so ditllcult to obtain ; none of the laws providing .sufficient ly | lor i tie securing or information that l the tendency towards cent rali/at ion of j wealth ami combinations in trade < dangerous to the. public are becoming < more and more marked each year. j ANTI TRUST LKOI8I..ATION. < in tliis State we have a constitutional article giving to the General Assembly the power to enact laws to prevent trusts, combinations, etc, and to provide penalties "to the extent, if necessary for t hat purpose, of forfeit urc ; , of their franchises," and in 1807 an Act < was passed carrying out. the provisions ' of this article.

For many reasons it s best, to emphasize this where the lispensary law is concerned.

Good Uoad Conventions at various I hoes have recent ly been held in our hate and t here seems to have been an iwakenlng of interest anions our people upon t his subject, ;is is evidenced by the fact t hat some of our counties [ire actively at work improving the condition of their highways. I feel sure that, our General Assembly will irlvo tot his subject all t he at tent ion it reserves and will, t hrough wise legislation, enable our different counties to provide practical solut ion of this problem so vital to their welfare.

If It will pay to sxpend millions for I he irrigation of inserts In the West, surely it Is well woith the attention of our lawmakers, without permanent expense to the State, to take steps to drain lands as Ten lie as can be found anywhere and which, in t heii present condition, are not only valueless, but are a standing menace to tin' health of South ("ar)llna.

While t lie Kindcd debt oft he S ale is comparavely small and audits e'edit well naintallied, as evidenced by the prcnium ollcrcd for its ho.ids in t he linmcial markets, I nevertheless feel hat it is incumhcnt upon me to call it tcut .on to I lie necessity the State is mder to hoi row money to meet the lidiciency occasioned by its current ihligat ions exceeding its revenue. Ibis being t le case, the deficiency laterally increases yearly smd. if a owed t o coni imic. will assume serious iroportions and beciine a burden to ax payers, lieferenee to the Treasurer's report discloses the fact that he deticiency for the last year alone imountcd to $12.*>.(10<) in round niini )ors.

Stephenson, Charged with the murder of J. It, Kwlng Thursday morning returned :i verdict of voluntary manslaughter. Judge Koan sentenced Stephenson to I") years in the penitentiary. This is the way Atlanta deals with such eases. niepnonson was an employee of one of the railroads in Atlanta and (Owing was a newsboy on one of the trains going out of Atlanta, Stephenson was drunk on the train, nourishing a pistol. lOwing went to hitn and told him t ? put up the pistol, when Stephenson shot Idm. 10 wing was a stranger in At lanta and no one claimed Ins laxly and lie was buried by the city. Soon after the verdict was read, Solicitor Hill stated to the court that lie wished to clear the character of the dead man, lOwing, of any imputation that he was a crook. No evidence lie said, was brought out in the trial that lie had robbed Stephenson, lie said lie desired to call the attention of the court to these facts In llxing the sentence. Attorneys Keuhen Arnold and Harvey Hill, for tho defense, made a plea on behalf of their client, asking the court to lie as light, as possible. Tney said Stephenson had a wife and daughter, the wife beiug an invaded, who were depedenton dim for support and who would lie lest in dirtrcssing circumstances when the husband and father was gone. It was stated that at Stephenson's age a sentence of ten years would mean practically a lifetime sentence. Judge Koan then sentenced the prisoner to 15 years which, he said, was the smallest sentence he felt that he could impose, and that Stephenson had no cause for complaint at lh?> verdict which had been returned. Stephenson received the verdict, stolidly, though apparently statislied. The case will not he appealed. If you feel ill and need a pill Why not purchase the best?
