Carter proposes to try and re-
cover from the government over
S75O,O00 worth of property,
seized by the United States
authorities after he was convict

sensational declaration from

made victim of conspiracy by

as soon as he obtains his free
dom he proposes to prove that he
was not the principal offender
against the United States govern

TRIAL OF TILLMAN
IS NOW IN PROGRESS
A Very Large Array of COunSel-Jury
Secured and Witnesses Far the State
Are Put on The Stand.

Lexington, S. c., Sept. u.s.
Jas. II. Tillman, former lieuten-
ant governor of South Carolina,
was placed on trial here today in
the circuit court for Lexington
county, under an Indictment
charging him with the murder
of N. G. Gonzales, editor of the
Columbia State, Judge Frank B.
Gary, presiding.
1t was II O'Clock when the SOL
ictor for this circuit, J. w. Thur
mond, announced that the state
was ready to proceed with the
trial of the case, and by the time
recess was taken at 1870 the de-
PENDANT had been arraigned, a
jury drawn and charged and all
was in readiness for the intro
duction Of testimony. There
was every indication earlier that
a jury could not be secured to-
day. The court room was filled
but not crowded. Probably nev-
er before in the history of this
Judicial circuit has there been so
great an array Of counsel en-
gagged in the trial of the former
lieutenant governor. The solici-
tor is assisted by five attorneys,
while the defendant has eleven
lawy ers, with G. W. Croft, rep
resentatives in congress from
Aiken, as chief counsel, conduct
ing the defense.
Mrs. J. II. Tillman and the
mother of the defendent were
present at the opening of the
court, and remained throughout
the days session, occupying
seats within the railing.
A vigorously contested legal
battle is in prospect. In fact, il
was manifested at the very out,
set of the trial that every inch oil
the ground is to be contested.
Nevertheless the case proceeded
rapidly today,
Immediately upon reconvening
at 8 p. M, the examination Of
witnesses was begun, and when
court adjourned six witnesses
had testified. Beginning tomor
row, court will sit early and late
and the trial pushed to conclus.
ion at the earliest date.

Difficulties of Modern Surgery.

From Fort Gaines Re corder
We hear that man and his
wife got their skulls cracked and
a few brains scattered out, in a
wreck in New York, and that the
doctors got the brain matter mix
ed when they were called in. This
makes but little difference so far
as the success of the operation
went, but the trouble arises from
the fact that they can't tell which
is tother. Both have an oppor.
tunity to experience how it feels
to be the other, the man claims
he is the she and she claims that
she is he and must wear the
brooches. This last idea is not

HEAVY CROP YIELD
PresCott's Shortage Not
Over Is Per- Gent
SAYS EDITOR CHARLES O'NEILL
Citizens Have Hopes of Bank Being
Established This FaII-NeW
Town Getting Busy.

Optimistic reports on the crop sit
uation in the Prescott country where
harvest is on in full blast were brought
to this city yesterday by Charles
O'Neil, editor of the Prescott Specta-
tor who made a short business trip
here in the interests of his paper.
Instead of there being a shortage
in the yield of 35 to 40 per cent as
reported at various times previous to
harvest, the shortage will not exceed
over 25 per cent in the whole of what
is properly termed the Prescott neigh
borhOod," he said. 1T is true that
several fields will not go over IS to
20 bushels to the acre, but there are
many fields which will average 80 to
35 bushels. If present prices keep up,
Prescott will not suffer in the least
from the shortage"
Mr.. O'Neil, besides being the editor
of Prescott's paper, is clerk of that
town and as such takes great interest
in anythinf that tends to advance the
interests Of the little city on the Tou-
.chet. The great need of a banking
institution is being felt and by little
judiciOus advertising Mr.. O'Neil yes
teday said that there was every indi-
cation of a bank being started there
this fall. Within the past three
months he has answered over so com
munications regarding the resources
of the town, probable amount of de-
posits and other information asked
for by banking men who are DESTROYS
of investing their money in that form
of business.
The amount of money alone that
Prescott people have on deposit in the
Waitsburg and Walla Walla banks
should be sufficient inducement for
bank to be started in Prescott" he
said. THE amount will go we'll over
$4,000 and this amount would be in
creased year by year"
In municipal improvements contem-
plated Mr.. O'Neil stated that there
would be a great deal of street grad
ing done this fall as sooon as rains set
in. This will be followed by side
walk building and other permanent
improvements, which will have a ten
dency to add greatly to the appear
ance of the town. Many residents are
contemplating the erection of resi-
dences this fall, and altogether the
outlook for the advancement Of the
town on substantial lines is very
bright.

NAME COMMITTEES
New Council Meets for First
Time Tonight.
MAYOR HUNTS APPOINTMENTS
Attract Considerable Attention From
Certain Quarters-Session Prom
ises to Be Important.

Tonight will mark the first meeting
of the new council and the session
promises to be of considerable import
ance Besides a great amount of rou-
tine business that is generally before
the board the first Of every month
the ordinance granting to the Walla
Walla Gas and Electric company a
25-year gas and electric franchise is
expected to be taken UP again and
Mayor Hunt will name his various
committees In view of the personnel
of the council the naming of commit
tees is attracting considerable atten-
ton from certain quarters.
The final passage of the gas and
electric ordinances is said to be es-
pecially desired by the management
of the electric company in view of
the fact that they have been before
the board in one form or another for
over two months. The inability of the
judiciary committee and the company
to arrive at a definite understanding
as to the amount the city shall receive
each year is said to be the cause of
the delay.
The inability Of the committee and
the management to get together on
this one point is also said to have
held in allegiance the sale of the local
company's plant, which was annOunc-
ed some months ago and until the
franchises are granted the matter will
remain in statu quo. No preparations
for beginning work on the proposed
power plant on the Roberts ranch
where water rights were purchased
six months ago, have been commenced
as yet.

A FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
Weston Leader.


John Parks was hurriedly brought
to town Tuesday evening from Yves
ton mountain, with his left hand fear
fully mangled by a gunshot wound.
Mr.. Parks is engaged with his
brother in the sheep business in Gill
liam county, and has been visiting
relatives, the Hyatts. on Weston
mountain. Tuesday afternoon he was
out on the old Dearborn place hunt
ing with muzzle-loading shotgun,
one barrel containing a double charge.
Seeing a cougar he took shot at it,
with results far more disastrous to
himself than to the frightened beast,
which escaped uninjured.
The gun burst into framents, and
the entire palm of Mr. Parks hand
was blown out, the CHASTITY wound ex-
tending to the wrist He also lost the
two middle fingers and one-half of the
index finger.
The burning his hand received from
the powder prevented much loss of
blood, and he also graspel it firmly
at the wrist with his unwounded hand
while making his way to the home of
Joe Hyatt, who at once brought him
to town in buggy.
DR.. Best removed the lacerated
flesh and large quantity of splintered
bone. The wound was frightful one,
splitting the hand into two mangled
parts. which fell apart so soon as the
handkerchief bandage was removed
Notwithstanding the ugly nature Of
the injuries, DR.. Best has hopes Of
saving the remainder of his patients

Dan came to this city twenty

and after it had been made a
good thing he went TO farming
in a small way, just for fun.
