the moment she observes the editor of
The State approaching from beyond
and at the same time he turns to cross
diagonally towards the same opening.
She watches him closely, with the
view to catch his eye, intending to bow
to him. Though she had only been in
troduced to him, his figure is well
known to her. His arms are at his

FRIDAYS

The most important witness yes
terday was young DIR. E. c. l..
Adams, known by his friends in
Columbia and Lower Richland as
"Ned" Adams, and a strong and
active supporter of Jim Tillman in
last years campaign, having been
Tillman's friend since serving under
him in the First South. Carolina
regiment. Speaking of conversa-
tons with 1illman during the cam
paign, DR.. Adams related threats
Tillman made against MI. NJ. G.
Gonzales, his most important state
ment being the following:
Q. Well, now, did you advise
as a friend in that matter? A. I
told him that if he wished to be
governor of South Carolina he
would have to fight Mr.. Gonzalesj
that the men who were supporting
him expected him to defend him
self.
Q. What did he make answer to
that? A. He said, "That won't do,
because I am lieutenant governor
and will be impeached; but you
boys need not worry, for, by God, I
will snuff his light with this" (In-
dicating.)
Q. Did he say anything about
walking the streets2 A. He said,
II have walked the streets every
time / have been here in the hope
of meeting MI. Gonzales"
Q. Did he say anything about
going to The STATE office? A. I
suggested to him tn 60 to The State
office and fight him, but he said he
could not get fair play. I offered to
60 with him and see that he got it
but he said, "By Cod, that won't
do"
Q. What did you say about a pis-
tot or anything?
The Witness-He said "ycG boys
need not worry, for by God, I will
SNUFF his light with this" taking his
pistol from his grip.
Q. Did you hear any additional
conversation between Col. Tillman
and anybody else? A. On one oc-
casion there was a man in Col. Till
mans room reading an editorial
from The State, one which spoke of
him as a BLACKBOARD and a liar, and
I don't know what else, and another
speaking of him challenging or
fighting Gonza,es--I think MI. Gon-
aales' writing-as "mock theatri-
GALS"
Q. Did Mr.. Tislman say any
thing2 A. He said, "He can call it
mock theatricals if he wishes TO,
but I will make 1t the God damnd-
est tragedy that ever happened IN
South Carolina"

ROOTTOACT FOR HAY
Secretary Of War VIII Nego-
tiate With General ReyeA
CABINET CONSIDERS COLOMBIAN NOTE
RatihcatiOa OF Treaty with Panama
Must BE the First step-ReyeH
VIII Remain at the Capital
Awaiting = Reply,

WASHINGTON, Dec. Goat a meet
Ing Of the cabinet called by the presi-
dent the Panama situation was the
principal subject under consideration.
All members of the cabinet except Sec
rotary Hay, who is ILL., Secretary Shaw
and Attorney General Knox, who are
out of the city, were present. The meet
ing was one of the longest held for sew
eral weeks, the session consuming quite
two hours.
Secretary Root was delayed nearly
half an hour in his arrival at the meet
ing, having been in conference with
General Reyes, the special representa-
tive of Colombia. This circumstance
caused It to transpire that during the
illness Of Secretary Hay Secretary Root
has been designated by the president to
conduct the negotiations Of this govern
ment with General Reyes.
Secretary Root laid before the presi-
dent the details Of his interview with
the Colombian minister. Careful CON
sideration was given to the Colombian
note filed with the state department by
General Reyes, but II can be said that
no answer has yet been made to 1t.
The note was submitted by the Colon
bian minister in Spanish. Some delay
was encountered In the translation Of
the document, but finally the transla-
ton was laid before the president and
Secretary Root for consideration.
Secretary Root informed General
Reyes that the reply of this govern
ment was not ready, but that 1t would
be given him as soon as possible. Sec
Rotary Root will give the response to
General Reyes when a decision as TO
its precise nature shall have been
reached.
No intimation of the contents Of Gen
eral Reyes note or Of the reply Of this
government is given from any author
itative source. 1t is known, however,
that the administration regards the
ratification of the treaty with the re-
public OF Panama as the first step to be
taken In the entire pending matter.
General Reyes has not indicated to
Secretary Root what his intentions are
regarding his future movements. 1t is
presumed he will remain in Washing
ton at least until the reply Of the Unit
ed States to his note shall have been
presented hut so far as can be ascer-
tanned nothing definite is known as to
his intentions.
