Bes, editor of The State, who was
^^Btot down here ou the streets last
jShuwday afternoon by Lieut Gov
James H Tillman, died at the
Columbia hospital this afternoon at1:10
o'clock.
The end came peacefully and
without apparent pain or struggle,

, ed to his bedside this morning when
the first decided change was noticed
in his condition.
I
It was reported at 11 o'clock that
Mr Gonzales was dying, and the
immediate members of his family
were summoned to the hospital.
All efforts attempted by the physicians
to save his life proved futile
and Mr Gonzales continued to grow
weaker until 1:10, when the physicians
announced that death had
come. It is announced that death
was due to septic poisoning from the
wound in the liver. After the last
examination the doctors, at 11
o'clock, decided that there was no
tnr the lif^ nf GntlXllIftS. A SO-I
lntion of formaldehyde was injected
at 10:30 as a last reeort. but there
was 110 improvement iif his condition
and as a last means to save his1
life the physicians made an injec- j
tiou of oae-liftieth of a grain of
formalin direct into the veins, inj
hopes of preventing blood poisoning, |
but this also proved futile. Mr. I
Gonzalo^was unconscious during
I the morning.
^ ^'In the citv and the State there is
universal sorrow, although the towj
is quiet, except for great crowds
around the bulletin boards discuss?
iug the details of the tragedy. Therej
W is no excitement whatever.

AN EPIDEMIC OF THIEVERY.
i A Curfew Law Suggested as a
Remedy for the Evil.
Editor County Record:?
| It has really reached the point
j when endurance ceases to be a virtue.
The stealing that is going on
1 in this town is trying not only to '
the patience, but to the religious
sentiment of the sufferers. But a
few nights ago one person lost a set
of harness, and several other depredations
have been recently committed.
Last, but not least?as is my
usual custom?I left my mediciue
case on a bench in my piazza. Last
Saturday night, and during the
might some thief, having entered my
! premises, made way with it, thereby
I giving me great inconvenience to atI
tend an urgent call Sunday morning.
! It was necessary for me to rig up
| another case, before I could go out
to see my patient.
No*', Mr. Editor, I had two
little vials in that case, and I would
give a liberal sum if the Contents of
which were in the thief's stomach.
But how shall we stop such petty
thefts? I suggest this remedy. Let (
a bell be rung at nine o'clock at
night during the winter, when every
store shall be closed. Then rtiu
every rat to his hole, or find one for ^
each that has none. Pay a good
buriy policeman, properly armed,
and equipped, to enforce the. plan.
Yours respectfully,
W. L. Wallace. J

k- Dear Sir:? '
e, The "Farmers' Institute" held at

Is success that I have no doubt that it
rs is the wishes of the people of Willy
liamsburg county that they have
in another such "Institute" this apce
proaching summer. Those members
a of the faculty who conducted the
id "Institute" last summer say that it
)g was the best one they have had in
to years. For us to be sure of having
5, this "Institute" this year, now is the
id time for the application to be made
go j for same.
As you probably know, it is no
n, expense to the county, whatever, all
o- that is necessary, is that a number of
;r- the citizens ask for it, and the inle
structors are sent out by the State,
is, I hope you will work up an Institute
ist for our county and I assure you, I
sr, shall do all I can to make it a grand
:es success. A member of the faculty
ed told me this morning that now is
vn the time to put in application, in
order that its certainty may be
assured.
