State Senator Eugene S. Blease, charged with thp murder of his broth er-in-law, Joe Ben Coleman, in Octo- b- • last, was acquitted Tuesday night after a trial lasting one day. No more dramatic scene has ever been witnessed in the Saluda court house than when Blease told in- tears and sobs of his friendship and love for Jo- Ben Coleman, their associations for many years, his exertions to secure Coleman a position, and then of the ruin of his home and the appalling weight of shame and dishonor the in formation of his wife's Infidelity had brought him.

Governor Heyward went out on the same train which brought Senator Till man in. The di*tlngulsbed sponsor for the rate bill was the guest of Mr. D. A. Tompkins in the Manufacturers’ Club. He was here only between trains, and had nothing of importance to say for publication.

Among other things about the college he said that bis de sire Is that it shall be so organized that cotton mill men mav leave their work for a week or a month or a year, as thev may desire, and take instruct ion in the textile department. There is much need of this sort of oprxirtii- nitv for men who cannot afford the tiniA f« >r a four-year course. Of course everybody in the club wanted to get about him and hear what he had to say.
