around it, and the members OF the
lynching party went home. The rain,
Which began later, eXtinguished the

TUE SPEEDY TRIAL CLAIM.
Mr.. Nelson said I'illlnan was aux
ious for Il speedy trial and only two
counties were NOW available Edge

Mr.. Thurmond spoke OF the incon-
vcniences Of Saluda, and suggested
either kcrshaw Or Lexington. AS to
a speedy trial he said Edgeield Court
would be held the first Monday in
August; Saluda the third, Camden
the irst Monday in September and
Lexington the third.
Mr.. Crawford expressed serious
objections to Saluda because IL was
practically the home of the defendant,
being the county OF which George d.
Tillman was the father, and The State
would not have all equal show Of fair
ness there with The defendant.

that this appeal is Il Slur upon Tie
people is Il narrow and contracted
view, when it is Il constitutional

TO be as pure and as good as any
others, but they are no better.
The asking Of the change is not only
moi unreasonable, but ii is but natural
that it should he. Before This case
and slan0crcd us this defendant. He
was denounced as Il dcbauchc, liar,
coward and of no rcpuic SO far as the
public press is concerned. He dWcll
with much emphasis upon this phase
OF the case, and went on TO say That
the influence Of the State had been
used to Satliratc the minds OF the pcO-
pie with poison against the defendant
lie referred continually TO the fact
that Gonzales was spoken of as Il
martyr and TilIman as a murderer
and assassin. lie referred 10 an cdi-
torial written by The Rev DR. Evans in
The State calling Tillnian Il murderer
and assassin. l'ublica ions from other
papers continually added fire TO he
flames Of prejudice. The whole com

women and even It's children. Tllcy

Il Beautiful Tribute.

Agree or disagree as you may with
William j. bryan on his political
tcnetS, you cannot withhold admira-
lion for his wonderful cloquencc and
word imagery. What is more beau
tiful than this: IF Jesus had left
nothing but the parablcs, Ills name
would have been impcriShablc in
literature; if lie had bcuucathed to
po>tcrity nothing but the simplicity
of lis speech and the irresistible logic
OF Ills argument, lie would have Il
permanent place among the orators
OF the world; if lie had given to the
world nothing but the commandment
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" enforced as it was by Ills own
example, this one gift would have
been sufficient to outweigh all the
wealth OF the world: If lie had lcfL'no
record but thc Sermon on Tile Mount,
it would have made Ills natal day
worthy OF the perpetual celebration
but all OF these added to the match

tor Platt OF New York sticks his

The administration OF President Clcye-

lowed Cleveland Even if it were
true that the scandal had its start in
the Cleveland regime, Senator Platts
charge is a confession that it has
taken the Republicans six years to get
on the trail OF it. What sort of adj
miniStration is that" Senator platt,
no doubt, thinks Il poor excuse is bet
ter than none, but his efforts to make
the renegade Democrats who voted
ior Mckinley for the sake OF onice
the Scapcgoats for Republican racali-
ty won't do. In the first place Machcn
and his ilk ceased TO be Democrats
when they voted for Mckinley, and
1t is hardly the fair thing to class
them as Democrats when they are de-
tectcd helping the Republicans loot
The United States treasury. We are
not at all surprised at the outcome Of
Macllcn rascality. He sold out for

blame him for trying to get his
share. But we must protest against
his being charged up to the Demo

prove him Il Democrat by any means.
