The Trial of Tillman.
The French have a proverb to the
effect that the absent are always
/vroug. In South Carolina this expression
seems to be paraphrased into
'the dead are always wrong", "The
pvil that men do lives after them;
;he good is often interred with their
pones". As truly as this was said of
Daesar so might it have been applied
to the dead editor of the Columbia
State when hia slayer was 011 trial
for his life at Lexington court house,
[n the aforesaid trial every act of
Mr Gonzales was made to appear to
his disadvantage by the astute attorneys
for the defense and the real
?ood that he did they kept carefully
hidden in the back'giound.
The trial has passed into history
*nd the incidents and circumstances
uttendiug it have been fully discussed
from one end of the State to
the other. Every intelligent person
has formed au opinion as to the
cutcoine of the trial and these opinions
ure freely expressed on every
band. It is the proviuce of a newspaper
to discuss a matter of public
interest in a spirit of fairness and
impartiality, so as to. eliminate the
dement of personal'feeling which is
Apt to creep into a discussion where
partisan feeling iruns high. We
have read the evidence carefully as
printed in the daily newspapers and
followed closely the arguments of
the opposing counsel based upon
this evidence, and we feel it due our
readers to try to giveonr conclusions
as dispassionately and imperson
ally as possible.
The plea of self-defence at first
set up was sbon virtually abandoned
by counsel for the defense, who
then in inverse ratio emphasized the
smart, the sting and the humiliation
that Tillman felt as the result of
certain editorials written by Gonzales
and printed in the State newspaper
prior to and during the last
campaign. * That Tillman had
strong provocation in these writings
no one will deny, ana had he killed
his ehemy in the heat of the campaign,
giving him a show for his
life, there would have been thous
ands of good people to sympathize
with him. It was the manner of
the killing rather than the deed
itself for which Tillman deserved
punishment, and his impossible plea
of self-defense showed that he was
unwilling to rest his case on its
merits; that is, that five months after
the writing occurred he with
malice in his heart walked up to an
unarmed man and shot him to death.
vVe have never belonged to that
class of newspapers or individuals
who woula apotheosize the late editoi
of the State. He had his faults
which were as glaringly conspicuous
as his virtues. In our humble judgment
his arraignment of Tillman was
beyond all reason, and granting that
the major part of his charges were
true we think it was unwise and
imprudent and unnecessary to reitsrate
his denunciation continuously
in the most offensive style. Human
nature is weak and frail and prone to
i*rr and it would be hard indeed to
find a man who is willing day after
lay to have his every act pilloried in
i newspaper.
But whatever right Tillman might
have had to seek revenge at the
proper time and place and in the
proper manner, he forfeited it all by
his long course of inaction, and the
way lie finally went about revenging
himself cannot but be condemned,
rhere are perhaps circumstances in
which aman would be justified in
shooting down a fellow-man without
warning, but no such circumstances
ittended this case- If there had to
he a mortal combat each man should
have had an equal chance. The
jf
* \
/
manner of the killing proved very
conclusively one of Gonzales' accusations
against Tillman to be' true,
viz; that of cowardice, and a thousand
juries cannot vindicate him of
the charge.

Among the "bravest of the brave"
who gave their lives in a righteous
cause the name of Gen. Micah Jenkins
shines with conspicuous brightnessj-undimmed
by the lapse of years.
It is befitting that the portrait of
this gallant leader should grace our
legislative halls along with others
of that grand galaxy of heroes whose
valorous deeds have illumined the
pages cf the history of the proud
Palmetto State. In another column
I is published a letter giving to any of
his old comrades who may desire to
do so the opportunity of contributing
to the fund that is being raised for
purchasing his portrait to be presented
to the Legislature.
We take itK however, that these
contributions are not restricted to
Gen. Jenkins' old comrades in arms,
and that the privilege of giving to
this worthy cause is extended to any

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by
a Unci 11 us or germ which exists
plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive
so long as exposed to the air,

caps or by rnstv nail's, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
roused to activity and produces the
most virulent poison known. These
