LONDON, Jan. 23.-Money was fairly
easy on the market today. Discounts were
weak on the figures of the bank returns
and increased expectation of an early re-
duction of the bank rate. Rates, however,
are not expected to go much lower in view
OF the heavy revenue collections until the
end of the quarter.
Business on the Stock exchange was on
the verge of s~tagnation. Consols were
easier. Home rails were weak, particularly
the heavies, dividends being mixed. Amer
leans opened irregular and recovered a
fraction, though business was narrow.
They closed steady. Kafirs were lower.
PARIS, Jan. 3.-Kaffirs opened weak on
the. bourse today, but the stocks on the
official list were strong. Foreigners were
heavy at first, but recovered. The shares OF
the new Panam Canal company rose on
the signing of the treaty between the
United States and Colombia, providing for
the construction of the canal. Credit
Lyonnais was in lively inquiry, owing to
the extent in which that concern is in
volved in the Panama canal interests.
Later the official list reacted. A feature of
the days transactions was the recovery of
Rio tintos on the sharp rise In copper. Most
of the departments were strengthened and
closed with IN unsatisfactory tone, due to
the uneasiness regarding the labor supply
of South Africa. The private rate of dis
count was 2 1876 per cent. Three per cent
rentes, 100f 711c for the account.

in honor of their sons marriage,

old hospitable country style that
made every oue feel free and easy.

WEDNESDAY,, OCTOBER 81, 1908.

With face bdued TO penetra-
tive shame the best citizenship of
our State stands today IN wonder
ment at the fragrant outrage on
justice in the verdict rendered in
the Tillman murder trial. With
due allowance for average ignos
rance and depravity it is scarcely
Observation-Disclosures reasonable
intelligent, honest, law and order
loving people that any twelve men
under the sanctity of sn oath,
with the evidence adduced at the
trial, could have acquitted the de-
defendant. But it has been done,
and there is no remedy for it now.
The world regards the verdict as
the opinion Of South Carolina and
the good name of the State must
suffer for travesty on justice for
which a Lexington Jury is alone
responsible. The following from
the Lynchburg (Vs. Times shows
into what disrepute the State is
brought and is fair sample of the
comments of outside papers on the
verdict:
South Carplina Is again dis,
graced and the State will not
within the next 30 years recover
from the damage inflicted upon i,
by the verdict Of the jury that or
yesterday acquitted James H.
Tillman, the cold-blooded murder
or of n. G. Gonzales. This is
not the Uniformed opinion of b
superficial observer, but the de-
liberate judgment of one who has
read nearly every line of testimony
as stenographically reported by
the South Carolina papers. The
murder committed by Tillman was
as deliberate and as cowardly as
any assassination every perpetrat
cd in this country. And it Is q
positive shame on South Caroline

To the Editor of The State:
The recent communication of
DIR. McPheeters appears to the
writer well worthy of serious con
slderation by the good citizenship
of South Carolina.
There is ga time to keep silence
and time to speak to speak
out. Such an occasion for out
spoken protect ises when there
has been such an infamous mis-
carriage of justice as that recently
perpetrated In the court house in
Lexington. My interest in the
matter is entirely impersonal, Just
that of citizen of ordinary intel
ligence;but having carefullyexam-
ined the testimony submitted on
that occasion / could not but con-
clude that the saying of the late
editor of The State was a long
premeditated, deliberate and most
cowardly assassination, and that
the action of the counsel for the
defense in justifying this cold
blooded murder was highly re-
prehensible, a direct encourage
ment to felonious crime and a
provocation to lynch law.

the disgraceful and wicked yer.

to the trial made by Rev. j. w.
Powers in his sermon IN the Bap-

Sunday:
"The trial ESQ., -called) of Tillman
should call forth a protesr, not
only from the ministry, but from
every law abiding citizen Of South

plain and unmistakable language
that all other murderers may be
