4 DAY OF EDITORIALS
All Day the Jury in the Till
man Case Listens to
Their Reading.
lBy the Associated Press

Lexington, S. c., Oct. 1.-The fourth
charged with the murder of Editor Con
zales, which was closed with the ad-
journment of court today, was taken up
almost wholly with the reading of ed-
torials from The State newspaper files
of which covering 1902. were placed in
evidence Tuesday by counsel for the State.
1t was not anticipated when the reading
was begun that one half the time would
be consumed that was taken and even
then there are about two columns yet to
be read in the morning. 1t is estimated
that some thirty columns were read to-
day. The papers from which the editcr-
ials were read run from the first of April
to the end of the year 1902. The reading
was a tedious task. Twice during the day
Judge Gary suspended momentarily be-
cause of the strain on the jurors who list.
ened intently throughout.
At the outset counsel for the defense
asked that editorials other than those re-
lating to James H. Tillman be read, but
the court held that inasmuch as the fies
were placed in evidence by the State, it
was fhe province of the State to indicate
what should be read. Counsel for the de-
fense having previously inspected the files
had complete index to the editorials
in the papers and closely followed the
reading.
Counsel for the State announced at the
beginning that all editorials referring to
the defendant WITHIN the period begin
ming April 1st to the end of the year
would be read. This covers the period
in which the gubernatorial campaign for
1902 was carried on, and among the edi-
torials read were those in opposition to
the prospective candidacy of the defendant
for the governorship of South Carolina.
Others criticised the action of the defend
ant in sending telegram to the President
in connection with the Jenkins sword fund
incident, while editorials read later in the
day were comments on the election Ie-
suits.
But one witness was examined today,
James w. King, a member of the Legis-
| lature from Florence county, who, in an
swer to questions by the solicitor, after
stating that he was in Columbia during
| the session of the Legislature last winter,
said:
lon the day before the shooting saw
pistol in Mr.. Tillman's pocket
| He said on cross-examination that he
was aware of unfriendly feelings between
the defendant and N. G. Gonzales.

THREE MORE INDICTMENTS.
The Mills Of Justice Still Grinding Away on
the Fost. Office Scandal.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 1.-The grand jury of
the Supreme Court of the District of Co.
lumbia today brought in three more in
dictments in connection with the Postof-
flee Department investigation. One was a
joint indictment against George w. Beav
ers, formerly Chief of the Salary and
Allowance division of the Postoffice De-
partment, and State Senator George A.
Green, of Binghamton, N. Y. This indict-
ment charges that they entered into a
conspiracy to defraud the government.
This, it is alleged, they accomplished in
the sale of time clocks, from which sale
they were enabled to reap a reward be-

FOUL FUMES FOUND
BY VANDERBILT.
Were They Discharged From
Biltmore Because of Ad-
hesive Fingers
Especial to News and Observer.)

ASheVille, N. c., Oct. 1-Rumors that
men holding responsible positions on the
Biltmore estate had been discharged for
misappropriating funds, and furthermore
that Mr.. Vanderbilt had himself been for
mally advised that things were not as
they should be has, owing to the promi
nence of the men involved, caused SEN
sation here. The rumors have attracted
the attention of court officials and it is
believed that the matter will be laid be-
fore the grand jury for investigation when
that body meets here this month.
The fact is no longer questioned that a
cloud has been cast over number of gen
tlcraent employed on the estate, and in
some quarters there is feeling that the
grand jury should out of regard for the
innocent, if for no other reason, summon
witnesses with view to ascertaining
whether wrong has been done. 1t is known
that Mr.. Vanderbilt is giving personal at
tention to office matters just at present,
and furthermore that an expert is at work
on the books, but there is feeling that
Biltmore owner would in the event irreg
ularities were discovered, simply dismiss
the guilty from his employ and the mat
ter from his mind and say no more about
it.
George Tenpent, who keeps the en-
ployes' time on the estate, today said that
he did not care to make a statement, but
intimated that after the expert account

Young onions eaten raw, with salt
and piece of bread and butter, make
very satisfactory luncheon in the
spring time, when one Graves just the
pungent freshness that nothing but an
onion can give. In the winter, the
raw onion adds zest to a salad, or a
soup, that nothing else can approach.
Cooked in various ways, this vegetable
is in demand on all tables, and besides
pleasing our appetite, it is, when eaten
freely, a cure for nervousness and in
sonia. 1t is said that the disagreeable
odor from onions when cooking can be
counteracted by keeping a basin of
vinegar on the stove at the same time
