Senator Ben R. Tillman, Of South
Carolina, made one Of his characteristic
speeches here Tuesday night at an i'm
,nense Democratic meeting, says Rich
mond dispatch of Wednesday to The
News and Courier. Before going to
the Academy of Music, whereth meet
ing was held, Senator Tillman was
called upon at his hotel by number Of
Democrats. r. discussing with these
the politic-.i situation in North Caro-
lima, ,lr. Tillman said that the only way
for Democrats to carry that state is
with shotguns. Referring to the situa-
ton in New York, Mr. Tillman said he
did not care frip whether Roosevelt
or Van Wyck was elected. The Re
publicans, he said, had the honestyrto
come out and declare their position.
The Democrats, he declared had lodged
the Chicago platform. Itwould be bet

no room for two gold bug parties in

A DAsTARDLY MURDER.
Mrs. J. o. Atkinson Assasinated From
Ambush.

The news of the tragic assassination
from ambush of Mrs. j. o. Atkinson
was brought to the city last night by
travelling men who were at Edgefeld
Court House where the crime was per-
petrated They say that the excite
ment in Edgefeld village and the sur
rounding country is very great and if
the assassin is found he will be dealt
with in manner that will not add to
the court calendar. The story as gain
ed from travelling men is as follows:
The assassination occurred Tuesday
night on the Martintown road, in q re-
mote part of the county.
Mrs. Atkinson was in Augusta Tues
day with her husband They transact
ed their business and left for their
business and left for their home about
dark Their home is in Edgefeld
county, thirteen miles from Augusta
and fourteen miles from Edgefeld Court
! House. Mr.. and Mrs. Atkinson were
/ driving quite slowly. They had pro-
ceeded up Slight hill and were de-
scending on the other side when from
a group Of blackjack bushes gun was
fired. Mrs Atkinson gave vent to a
scream Of apparent pain and fright.
The shot had been fred at very close
range.
Mr.. Atkinson threw his arm about
his wife and felt blood falling on his
hand. He then noticed that Mrs. At
kinson had apparently swooned. He
threw both arms about her and lowered
her to the seat of the vehicle Shewas
dead in a few seconds. The load was
No. bird shot, fired at close range
from apparently. shotgun, that the
shot did not have opportunity to scat
ter, striking the lady in clump in the
neck, reaching vital points, and pro-
ducing death almost instantaneously.
As soon as possible, Mr. Atkinson gave
the alarm. In two hours and half
Edgeield county was on the hunt for
the cowardly anc craven assassin or
asSassins who was or were guilty Of this
dastardly deed.
There is absolutely no clue so far as
can be learned Nr. Atkinson, Of
course, gave his attention solely to his
wife. If there was a movement in the
bushes after the shot. he would not
have noticed it. The officers and citi-
zens beat about all night, making the
most diligent inquiry, that some clue,
some trailof the assassin might be Sc
cured. They have not, so far as learn
ed, been in the least successful. The
bands, who are still roaming over the
country, are determined to leave moth
ing undone. The assassination was so
heinous. so brutal that the cry Of ven
geance is heard. All that the possess
desire is to get hold Of the assassin and
to be sure that he is the right man.
The deceased was woman Of lovely
character, Of handsome mien, good
wife and the mother Of several children.
She is about IS years Of age Her home
is one of the happiest in the south. Mr..
atkinson is well-to-do farmer and an
honorable and splendid gentleman
This terrible affair that has come into
his life is vringing his heart with an
g.. md grief. There is no suspicion.

Scalded t. Death.

The tor pedo boat Davis which started
on its official trial trip Thursday was
disabled by the bursting Of number
of boiler tubes. Eight af the crew were
badly scalded, and three Of them died
soon after reaching Astoria, Ore, The
dead: c. McNcely, ?. Luithleo, II.

Woods, B. Ryan: \. johnson, \:
Buehl. Luitheo was 4 coal passer and
Woods superintendent Of the boiler
room. The others were ircmen. The
accident occurred in the Columbia
river, about 20 miles above this city.
The nature of the explosion has not
been made known and the examination
Of the boilers will be required to deter
nine exactly what part OF the boilers
burst. The best theory obtainable IS
that some Of the tubes Of the outward
boiler exploded owing toa arrangement
of the automatic water gage which per
mitted the water TO get too low. Tx
cepting for the havoc wrought in the
boiler room the boat is uninjured. Late
Thursday night the four injured men
died, making total CT seven dead.

ASHES As \ FERTILIZER.-All
farmers know that wood ashes are valu-
able for fertilizer But this value, as
many know, is due very much to the
material from which the ashes came.
Thus ashes made from hard wood are
more valuable than ashes made from
soft wood. In fact, some ashes from
soft wood have not enough virtue to
make it worth while to bother with
them. 1t has also been found that the
value is largely governed by the part
of the tree from which the ash is made.
1t is declared by chemists that the ash
of the young twigs is Of more value
than the ash Of the trunk of the tree.
and the ash Of leaves still more valua-
blc.
