EDITOR GONZALES SHOT BY JIM TILLMAN. BALL PASSBD BNTIRELY THROUGH BODY AND DROPPED TO GROUND. Shooting Occured on Main Street in Colum bia and the Wound is Thought to Be Fatal--Full and betailed Account of the Tragedy. [Special to The Herald and News. [ Columbia, S. C., Jan 15, 6.30-Lieu tenant' Governor James H. Tillman this afternoon shot Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor of The State newspaper. At this hour, 5 V. m., Mr. Gonzales is still liv ing, but the general impression seems to previil that the wound is fatal. The shooting occurred about 1.46 o'clock on Main street, near Gervais, just in front of the street car transfer ofice. Mr. Tillman and Senator Talbird, of Beaufort, were walking together from the State house. Just after crossing Gervais, at the corner, they met Mr. Gonzales. Without a word, so far as can be ascertained, Mr. Tillman drew his pistol and fired. A boy who happened to be near said that immediately after the shot was fired Mr. Tillman said: "You'll stop that now." Another report is to the effect that Mr. Tillman upon meeting Mr. Gon zales said: "I received your message," and fired. - Another still says that these words were used by Mr. Tillman immediately after the shot. Inquiry fails to reveal any indication of a message having been sent by Gon zales to Tillman. Mr. Gonzales when shot clasped his hands to his stomach and was in the act of falling when caught by gentlemen who rushed to the scene. Supported he walked to the State office, only about a hundred yards off. Col. Tillman was placed under arrest and is now in jail. The Evening Record states that Sena tor Talbird, who was with Mr. Tillman said when asked about the affair that nothing was said, that there was no quarrel. The pistol used by Mr. Tillman was a very large oue. There was only one shot fired, the bullet entering Mr. Gon zales stomach passing through and fall ing to the ground. It was a 33 calibre. Col. Tillman was immediately arres ted and taken to the station house. There he made no statement. Later he was called upon by Senator Talbird and Hon. F. H. Dominick. These gentle men had been with him only a few ~-"moments wvhen the sheriff drove up in a Scarriage and carried Mr. Tillman to i,,jail. '' This is said to have been thei first ~~~eeting between Mr. Gonzales and fIr. Tillman since the campaign, fl Mr. Gonzales very vigorously opposed r. Tillman in his race for the gov ~-rnorship. J.

There will be communion at Bachman Chapel on the fourth Sunday of this month, with preparatory services on Saturday evening previous. We suppose the good citizens of New berry feel very much relieved since the Carnival is gone. We have heard a e good many expressions of this kind from country people. We want to congratulate Mr. J. WV. -Earhardt upon the most flattering vote he received1 as mayor of the city of Newberry. Mr. Earhardt is a good Sthinking, honest, sober, Christian gen tleman. We have always found him honest in his convictions and true to what he conceives to be right. The business interests of the flourishing city will continue to grow and p)rosper under the rulings of Mayor Earhardlt and the entire city fathers. We are sorry to learn of the misfor tune of our friend, Mr. L. I. Epting, who lost a valuable horse a few weeks -ago. This makes tihe second horse he had to (lie last year. This is p)retty tough luck on a poor farmer. Glad to say Mr. M. M. Long, who has been in lingering health for the past few months is somewhat on tihe mend. The chaingang is (doing some much needled work in this section in the way of bridge building. TIhey have built a br'idge across Cannon's creek at the llBoinest ford. Also one across the little -stream at Jiudge P. 11. Ellisor's, and is now at work on the bridge across T1im merman 's creek near Mr. J1. I. Quat ttlebaum's.

Our ILegislature is now in session at the State cap)ital. There is no dloubt but that there will be many measutes of vital interest come upl beOfore their adjournment, andl the people are anx.. intusly waiting to see what they will dIo.

Arthur K i ber, also one of ourt t.Representatives, is a deep andl profound thinker, lie believes inl anf economical government, andl ennt be count o to vote against any extravagant appropri ation. He has served several sessions in the Legislature and is fully able to cope with any of the members of this body. lion. Geo. S. Mower is back at his old post in the Senate, and he needs no words at our hands, for he has been there, and Newberry County has prof ited by his presence in that honorable body, and as long as we hold such hon est Christian gentlemen as Geo. Mower at the head of our government we need never fear; in fact Newberry can boast of having a most excellent set of gen tlemen to represent her. Here goes for my annual list of mov ing, although it will not be as full as it has other years. Some of them moved several months ago, but we generally lump them together. Thos. L. B. Epps, clerk at dispensary, has moved his fai ily to Newbei ry. Mr. L. A. B3obb has moved from Saduda County on Mr. George P. Griffin's place. Mr. Simeon P. Long moved from Mr. J.
