BEGINNING of Fued.

Inc 1OllOWluS SullOTldl eAu oSO~
from issues of Mr.. Gonzales paper,
The Columbia State, are believed to
have been the beginning OF the Con-
zales- -Tillman feud:
August 25, 1902, the day before tho
primary election, The State said:
1T was necessary that Jim Tillman,
who two years ago succeeded in get
ting himself elected lieutenant gov
ernor because the majority OF voters
did not know his character should this
year have that character made known
when his candidacy for governor men
aced South Carolina with supreme In
jury and disgrace. The interest OF the
public having been concentrated IN
1900 oD the fight for the governship he
literally lied his way into the second
ary office, and it was somebody's duty
to stand forth and show his falsity and
depravity.
1T happened that The State pos
sessed larger proofs Of the criminality
Of James H. Tillman than any other
newspaper, and, although it would
have preferred technical reasons,
and knowing verbal unpleasantness
of an issue with a blackguard-to sec
ond the efforts Of another journal, rath-
er than take the initiative, it's knoWl-
edge of the case prompted 1t, after
months of reticence and the actual
opening of the campaign to bring out
the facts it held in store. For this rea'
son the criminal candidate has had an
excuse to concentrate his fire on The
State, ignoring all the other journals
attacking him.
August 20, 1902, The State said:
"As one Of the public prosecutors
of James H. Tillman, in behalf Of South
Carolinas honor and welfare, this
newspaper is proud of the enmity he
manifests against it, although in fair.
ness to a number of It's contempora-
ries which have so materially aided in
bringing this rogue to justice, The
State could wish their services were
also recognized
September 8, 1902, after the election,
The State said:
"Jim Tillman has made what oul
local contemporary describes as lit
tie stage play in offering to resign his
Office of lieutenant governor if the edi-
tor will go to him and call him a liar
and a blackguard or coward The
editor of Phe State is not playing IL a
melodrama and has no taste for it. In
his paper he has called Jim Tillman
what he was, and what, in public in
terest, it was necessary to call him;
and, what he said about him he, has
proved"
Statement by Tillman.
In a signed statement Lieutenant
Governor James H. Tillman gave out
the following:
81 would like to correct the biased
reports Of the unfortunate affair, but
when the public recalls that these re-
ports were sent out either by The
State, of which Mr.. Gonzales is editor,
or by his personal friends, they can
readily see that I could scarcely hope
for or expect fair account.
"Those who know me, know me too
well to believe it. When the true facts
are proven my friends and the people
of this country will know how grossly
have been misrepresented. Such
will be shown by witnesses of the high
est character. am ready for trial by
a jury Of my countrymen."

May Ask Change of Venue.

way non S'oiSS VI
The latest in the Tillman-Gonzales
case is that when Tillman is put on
trial for the murder of Editor Con-
zales, counsel will ask for a change of
venue from Richland county to some
other county in the circuit which is
composed Of Richland, Edgefeld, War.
saw and Lexington.
The motion for a change will have
: to be made by attorneys for Iillman,
and it is said that the claim will be set
up that on account of this being Con.
zales' home county a fair trial could
not be secured. Whether or not the
motion will be sustained will be deter
mined by Judge R. o. Purity, who will
preside at the April term of court.
Tillman's chief counsel, Congress
man Croft, declines to discuss the mat
ter as yet.
Governor McSweeney was asked for
an expression as to the affair, and he
said:
"It was, a most deplorable affair,
and that is all can say about it just
now, further than to say that the con-
duct of state officer in carrying con-
ceaied weapons cannot be too severely
condemned, for he is one whose sworn
duty it is to uphold law and defend
the law in this respect as well as in
others
Soon after the death of Mr. Con-
zales telephone message carried the
news to Captain Sigh, the county Jail
er, and he apprised Colonel Tillman.
1t Is stated that the latter received the
intelligence without any expression or
betokening any emotion one way or
the other He was asked later if he
would make statement and replied
through his brother in law, ex-Judge
Buchanan, that he had nothing to say.
Politics Gust Charleston Policeman.
At recent meeting of the Charles
ton city council Mayor Smyth sprung
surprise on the political faction op-
posed to the administration candidates
by dropping First Lieutenant McMa-
nus from the police force.
The mayor has power to nominate
the chief and three lieutenants, and
council confirms this action. When the
matter was called the names were read
quickly, and before the friends of Nc
Manus in council realized what the
confirmation meant, they had voted to
dismiss him from the department.
The affair has brought on the most
bitter condemnation from the friends
of Lieutenant McManus. He has serv-
ed the city for twenty-five years, and
was universally regarded in the city as
The contention of the McManus crowd
is that he was dropped because he was
in sympathy with the candidacy of E.
W. Hughes for mayor as againstR G.
Rhett, the representative of the Smyth
faction and the present administration.
The claim has been made that the
efficiency of the local police depart
ment has been impaired by the injec-
ton of too much politics. 1t has been
known, too, for some time that the de-
partment is badly divided and that the
chief has not been able to command
outside respect and cooperation from
all his men.
1t has been Gemoralized. and tax
payers have put up the plea that they
have suffered There is no doubt
about the fact that the hasty action in
council has created a sensation, and it
is accepted to mean the beginning of
