investigation begun, which lasted
until Titsou broke down and made
the above confession. He stated at
first that he had slapped his wife in

and she fell in the creek and was
drowned, and that not knowing what
to do, he staked her down under the
water. Subsequently he Lit her With

Scores of negroes had gathered

were, however, dissuaded from this,

It has b@en affirmed by the oppo-
nents of Governor Tilluan that his
policy in compelling capital to bear
it's share of taxation, Will stagnate
the industries of the State and drive
capital FROM her border. This was
made the subject of bitter attack
on the Governor during the last cam
paign and the racket was worked for
all it was worth. Many and direful
were the predictions of dreadful fnar-
cial disasters which would certainly
follow his re election. Such reading
is too familiar to the readers of this
paper to need republishing in these
columns.
The condition of the business in
terest of the State today show that
the predictions were utterly without
foundation ard were made only as a
reflection upon the ability of the "peo
Piles Governor" to retain the conf
dence of capital. On the contrary,
the excellent condition of the fnan-
cial and manufacturing interest Of the
State, as shown by the condition of
the cotton mills recently published
in the News and Courier, has suffered
no injury whatever by the reelection
of Governor Tillman or the policy Of
his Administration.
Another campaign canard has been
exploded. Governor Tillman has
succeeded in placing the entire new
State bonds on such terms hal even
the bitter, the radical and the vindic-
tive News and Courier has been
forced to admit that it was a "won-
derful achievement" and that it was
a "great triumph for Governor Till
man and his Administration" and
''congratulates him, his Administra
ton and the people of the State on
the settlement of the State debt"

Williams Acquitted.
His Has Been a Bold Caieei Of Crime
for Years.

Augusta Chronicle.
Aiken, S. c., June 26.-The only
thing discussed here today has been
the case OF Emanuel Williams. The
entire day has been taken up with
the arguments on both sides. About
Z o'clock the jury was charged by
Judge Aldrich. At s o'clock the
Jury came out and rendered a verdict
of mot guilty" The verdict is the
cause of much comment on the
streets. Williams will be taken at
once to Alabama.
Through the courtesy OF Solicitor
Bellinger 7 am able to give the fol-
lowing history of Williams career OF
crime:
Emanuel Williams was born in
Lexington county IN 1858, ana hrst
drifted into crime in 1887. His first
offense was stealing u double bar
relied shotgun, for which he was ac-
Quilted. On the 4th Of July, 1888,
he went to a picnic and had an alter
cation with the brothers Ready. He
l. shot and killed One and cut the
others throat, who, after a long time,
recovered. Williams was tried in
this court for that murder, but was
acquitted. He then went to Ala
bama, where he shot a negro by the
name of Johnson. He then returned
to this State and went again to Ala
bama, taking a friend by the name
of CAN'T with him. CAN'T, after being
there about three months, had a
quarrel with one, Bradwell, alias
Smith, who killed CAN'T and was
thrown in jail. Williams hearing
of this, got up posse and effected
an entrance to the jail and into his
cell, and Bradwell was shot to death,
receiving twenty-senven bullets III
his body.
Williams again returned to Wag-
ner, S. c., and then back to Alabama,
and in August, 1890, burglarized the
stores of Clan O'Neill, at Hampton
Vile, Ala, and one Riley, at Andalu-
STA, Ala, and in August. 1891, as
saulted a mail carrier, taking from
him a mail sack and cutting it open.
Was captured September 10, 1891,
and put in the Montgomery, Ala,
Jail, where, on the night Of December
S, 1891, he broke jail, taking with
him two other desperadoes.
On the morning of May 2l, 1892,
at q o'clock a. m., Williams, accom-
panied by four others, signalled down

upon the State debt.
Considering the financial condition
of the country and the great string
ency in the money market, this is a
very remarkable achievement. The
syndicate was composed Of the Bal.
more Trust and Guarantee Company
of Baltimore, John L. Williams &
Sons, of Richmond, and B., A. Ian
caster, of New York, and their asso-
ciates. Among their associates
were the bankers and capitalists Of
Charleston, who subscribe for two
million of the new ISSUE of State
bonds, WHICH amounts altogether to
S5,250,OC0. Charleston would doubt
less have been able to have placed
the whole debt, but it has turned out
better than we had expected, taking
one consideration with another and
making due note of the financial dis
tress which exists in al the great
Northern money centres. A gentle
man who was in this city several
days ago and who is accustomed to
large transactions said that he re-
garded the settlement OF the State
debt under ell the circumstances a
great triumph for Governor Tillman
and his Administration. We shall
certainly not withhold from him any
credit to which he is entitled as we
have not attempted to- SHIELD him
from any ceasare justly attending
his official acts and conduct.
1t is hoped that the rssdiustment
Of the public debt wai release on
siderable capital fos@se~aoyment in
the arts and industries q the State,
and that the policy OF the Admins
tratiop aud the ssts OF the Legisla-
ture will henceforth be directed to
the encouragement of larger and
larger Investments in home indus
