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.

Accord ing to the reports of t lie Superintendent of Fiducat ion for several years N past , it is shown that more negro chil- : dren than whites are attending our ( public schools.

Such a catastrophe is ; against all of our traditions, and it j' can and must tie prevented by an awakening among our people to the ' exigencies of the situation, a linn * determination on their part to remedy ( it. if necessary, any sacrifice should ( he made on the part of parents in order that tholr children might takoud- ' vantage of the cdueat ional faclit ies af forded them t>y the State. The (Constitution of our State, re- ' cognizing the fact that our entire educational system is founded upon the common schools, has under! a ken to "provide a liberal system of free public ! seh(X)ls for till children lictween the ages of 6 and 21." There is no more important considcrat ion before the 1 people of South Carolina than Is con- [ tained in tills clause of t lie Const i lit- ' t.ion. It has a meaning till its own a meaning for which there can bo no substitute, and it commands and t should receive the hearty and indivi- | flll'll I.I.I ilM% (\f ?. 1 I I "I 1 I uuui miivuuii vi in an. ui'i i I it'll- ill" y the best ton) moil schools we can all'ord j in every coininunity and district , with < well built schools houses, longer school i terms, competent and better paid t teachers, and in t he work thus done | our State will reap a rich reward. : The frainers of our organic law, ( realizing that wealthy and populous i communities could provide schools for < themselves, while poorer and more thinly settled districts were not so j fortunate, made it the duty of the i Assembly to supplement the school i funds of t he latter, in order that all < the children of the State may have an equalopport unity toacquircsomewhat , more than the rudiments of an educa- . tlon. .

(j While it is true that one of the t greatest difllculties we have had to < contend with in the development of * 11it- oiuit- miin uucii dim hick oi capn;ii, 11 and while we should by legislation and v other means encourage outside capital t to come into tho State and assist in 0 building up our industries and dcvel- 1' oping our resources, and in coining k should make It feel assured t hat it will a receive every protection that it can I rightfully claim,still capital should lie y made to understand that It is welcome only when it. comes for the purpose of earning its legitimate interest in a fair and legitimate manner. 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. Tills Act being deem- i ed defective and not far reaching en- < ougli by the Attorney General, at the i last session of the General Assembly | another Act was passed, amendatory } in it nat ure and going nearer to the t root, of 1 lie trouble, rower was also j given to the Attorney General to seen re i 1 testimony in relation to the violation i of these Acts, and it is to l>e hoped t that this legislation will lie found sulll- ; , cleut to protect the interests of the >oop)o from oppression by combined ; ( capital. If not, It Is the duty of then General Assembly to amend our luw* i ipon this subject from time to time as < be necessities of t ho case may demand. 1 with a view always to give to capital 1 ill of its legal prl\ ilexes and to rest rlct i n no way innocent associations among 1 inrcltlJtng. and yet to see that cor*' < Mratlona, to which It hat given life < ind clothed with great powers, use hose powers for I ho betterment and'1 lot to the detriment of the masses of : he people, to protect whom is i he I list duty of all governments. < llll.I) I,Alton l,AW KAYOKKI) 1 There lias been considerable discus- 1 lion throughout the Stat" miring the ' past few years in regard to the em-i , lilovmeiit of children in our textile manufactories and upon several oeea- ' ions bills forbidding tliel.* employment have been introduced in tlm ieneral Assembly, .hut liaxe failed of ' passage.

The ond to be obtained is he good of all concerned, and this ihould he borne in mind as I lie eonsidnation which should receive our most areful attention. I am unwilling, lowcvor, to see any child in our State leprived even for a t line of educat iona t ulvautagcs, and this fact, it seems to ne, deserves tube carefully borne in nind in legislat ing upon t his question, ror older children, not to bo alTccl'cd >y any proposed law, a night school diould lie arranged, if possible* Ad runt ages hitherto denied I hem would litis he given toa certain extent, at east, and opportunities would be ilaeed within t he reach of those who ire in earnest in I heirdesiro to receive in educat ion. TilK niSPKNSAKY LAW. As Coventor of South Carolina il is ny solemn duty to.see that till of the a ws of our St ate arc always and overy.vhere enforced. For many reasons it s best, to emphasize this where the lispensary law is concerned. This law s now upon our stilt utc hooks and lias ihc endorsement of a majority of our people, and it is tlieduty of all lawiblding citizens to give tluit same )t)edienee to this law which they give 0 all others. in the discharge of tlie luties whieli may devolve upon me 1 shall recognize t he obligations which ire mine and shall expect and depend ipon the public spirit of all law-abldng people to sustain me, and I feel aire t hat t hey will do so. In the past few years. 1 am glad to my, much of the friction formerly ataching to this law has disappeared. I tin aware of the fact, however, that in certain localities it may he very hard .o rest rain illegal t rattle in liquor and o prevent t bo violation of tula law; icvert heless, I shall seek to uphold the aw and to carry out its provisions vithout favor to any locality in any )art of our State. 'The details of the ii-.(h-ii>.ii \ mw are laminar u> aiiol 1 mr citizens, hut perhaps its necessary * litllculties are not generally under- ' itood nor propporly appreciated.

OOOI) KOAD8 A l>VOCATKD. It has been stiid that there are 11rot'things which make a Statement "fertile lands, busy workshops and asy lines of transportation." The Uniighty has blessed us in South Cardina with a fertile soil. We have jecn Riving ourselves each year, as 1 lave already shown, busy workshops md it now remains for us to pay more it tent ion to t hose lines of transportaion which are as indispensable to the oniforl and convenience of every class )four people as they are to our industrial and commercial life. 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. TIIK OKA I N AO K PIIOHMCM. Another question before our people, lit hough it is often lost sight of, is the drainage of our swamp and low lands, riiis is an Important quest ion not only to one section ofourSlate. hut to every section, in 11)00 amendment to the Constitution was submitted to the people of t lie State, by whom it was ' idopted, making it mandatory upon Lite (General Assembly to provide by law for t lie ccndemnat Ion, t h rough of- | lcial channels, of all lands necessary t 'or the proper drainage of our swamp ( tnd low lands and also for the cqultibie assessment of all lands so drained or the purpose of paying for such con lemnatlon and drainage, Nothing! ma yet been dono and, In my Judgment , this amendment should not l>u | overlooked, Appropriations amounting to aeveral millions of dollars hue dcoii made by the National Govern-1 nent for reclaiming by Irrigation arid lands of the West. 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. Additional imj>ortanee attaches lo this subject when we remember iliese now useless lands comprise fully lie-tiltliof t Ik* area of our State. TIIIC I'l'ltl! KOOlM^I KSTION.

I ca mot conclude without saying a vord about our tin noes. 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. This should not bo. We should conduct our ti unices on ;i business ?asis and, iii order to do so, wo must nake our appri priat ions and our reveille coirespond. To accomplish tins ivill require serious consideration, for Ye cannot bo parsimonious in the supnut of our public inst it ut ions, and at he same time we must bear in mind hat- the burden falls upon people ivhoso condition does not warrant more axation t ban is absolutely necessary o conduct t he affairs of the State as )itr ( oinmonwealt h demands. The sit uat ion has to he met and t he .ooncr it is met the better. In makiik appropriat ions for t he present year lie General Assembly should bear the orcgoing condition in mind, and if hey are unable to reduce the approtrial ions without impairing the Useulness of our public inst it ut ions, t hen hey should provide, as may seem best., or increasing our revenue and thereby tut the State upon a cash basis a consummation so desirable t hat it needs to addit ional emphasis. riCUOUATION.

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?
