OF INTEREST TO BUILDERS.
Hon. Carol D. Wright, Com
missioner of Labor, Appointed by
the United States Government to
Make an Investment of Building
and Loan Associations in his ninth
Annul Report to the Senate and
House of Representatives, Page 10,
says;
'The opportunities for embezzle-
ment, therefore, or for shirkage Of
securities, are reduced to min
imum, and the almost absolute
safety of the investment secured. ,
It will be seen that an invest
ment in Saving and Loan Associa-
ton is as, nearly absolutely safe as
it can be, for the monthly dues and
the accumulated profits, which gives
the actual capital of the association,
are loaned as fast as they accumu-
aUe."

TiIlman Trial Now Under Way.

Lexington, September 2S.-The trial
of James III. Tillman was begun this
morning in the Lexington Court, despite
the general impression, even to the last
moment, that something would develor
to cause continuance. When the usual
preliminaries of the court had been fin
ished, Solicitor Thurmond asked that
the court take a recess for half an hour,
in order that he might hear from wit
nesses by telegraph, and there was a
general opinion that there would be no
trial this term.
These prophesies and opinions turned
out later in the LAY to be erroneous and
good progress was made on the case.
which, it was thought, would take up
two or three weeks. If the same pro-
gress made the first day is continued, by
the end of the week the whole trial will
have been completed, despite the fact
that there may be four hundred wit
nesses who have been summoned to
testify.
When court assembled this morning
there were remarkably few people pres
ent, outside of those directly interested,
considering the great publicity. Within
the bar there were more newspaper men
than lawyers, although nearly the whole
local bar has been employed in Tillman's 8
defense, and there were several other
lawyers from Columbia and elsewhere in
the State employed on either side.
The selection of the jury was begun
and with the exception of one man, the
full panel passed the legal examination
and went through as If there was an
ordinary case to be tried.
The jury that was drawn to try Till
man is composed Of eight farmers and
four cotton mill operatives.

CunneiIs Gets Eleven Years.

GrecnVillo, September 26. - Robert
Gunnells, convicted of assault with in
tent to ravish, was sentenced in the
court of gt neral sessions yesterday after
noon to serve eleven years at hard labor
in the State penitentiary. The prisoner
wore the same peculiar expression which
was noticed during his trial. When told
by the court to stand up, he remained
moticnioss, with peculiar stare out of
his eyes. 1t was not until bailiff
touched him on the arm that he arose.
Judge Dantzler, following the common
law custom, asked him whether or not
he had anything to say why sentence
should not then be passed upon him, but
Gunnells failed to respond. Mai. Blythe,
his counsel then called the attention Of
the court to the mans mental condition
and suggested that it might be well to
exercise the authority vested in the court
and send tho prisoner to the iunatc
asylum. Judge Dantzler said that while
the mans mind was probably uphealthy
he did not think condition of insanity
existed, at least to such an extent as
would warrant short sentence, or
imprisonment in the asylum. "The
physicians at the penitentiary," said the
court, "can easily attend to that matter"

Train Leaps from TrestIe-Nine Killed.

Charlotte, September 27.-While run
ming at high rate of speed No. 97, the
Southern Railways southbound fast
high, half a mile north of Danville, Va,
this afternoon at $50 O'Clock and was
almost demolished. OF the crew of 16
men on the train, nine were killed and
seven injured. Conductor j. Tom Blair,
of Central, S. c., is numbered among the
killed. All of the injured men are seri-
ously hurt. The trestle where the acci-
dent occurred is 500 feet long and is
located on a sharp curve. Engineer
Broadly was rev man on that division
of the Southern, and it is said that he
came to the curve at very high rate of
speed. The engine had gone only about
so feet on the trestle when it sprang from
the track, carrying with it four mail
cars and an express car. The trestle, a
wooden structure, also gave way for a
space of so feet. At the foot of the
trestle is a shallow branch with rocky
bottom. Striking this thC engine and
the cars were reduced to mass of
twisted iron and steel and pieces of
splintered wood. AS the cars went down
they touched the sides of the Riverside
cotton mills, which is very close to the
trestle. All of the dead men were killed
instantly, it is thought, and all were
greatly mutilated. The skin and hair on
the engineer and fireman were torn off
by the impact of the steam from the
engine. 1t seemed miraculous that any
one should have escaped, for each car
falling with the engine bounded from it
and completely collapsed after striking
the rocks at the foot of the trestle. All
of the express in the express car was
practically destroyed, except six crates
of canary birds. None of the birds were
hurt, though the crates were in the
thickest of the debris.

Testing the Jury Panel.

The following interesting story comes
from Saluda, s. c., concerning the sec
ond weeks jury panel for the Lexington
court, but it's authenticity is not vouched
for:
Just after the jury for the fret and
second week for Lexington county was
drawn and their names published, party
appeared in that county in the guise of
an agent for a picture enlarging estab-
lishment somewhere. He made IL his
business to call upon each and every
juror who had been drawn and solicited
some work. In order to show the char
acter of the work done by the house he
represented he produced as samples en-
larged pictures of well known South
Carolinians-several of tbem--and finally
would hold Np one of James III. Tillman,
with the remark, 81 suppose you at once
recognize this likeness?" or something
of that kind. Then tho unsuspecting
person addressed would remark, eyes;
who killed Gonzales" etc., and If the
juror were given to talking he would say
thus and SO about the case, and whether
he ought or ought not to be convicted,
ETC., etc. The agent would show no
signs of interest, but, 80 the story con-
approached felt and stood on the matter,
and after learning would dot down the
statements made to him for future ref.
erence.
A correspondent from Lexington says
that Col. j. III. Tillman intends to testify
in his own behalf He cannot of course
be compelled to testify, but it is under
stood to be his desire to do so, and he
will have the privilege of making such
statement as he may deem proper to
make, provided he does not overstep
the rules of evidence to such an extent
rs to be called down by the presiding
iudpe.
