LET Us HAVE PROOF.
An Alabama Minister, Who Visited
Lexington. says Jury Was Packed.

Lexington, says Jury Was Packed.
"Is Jim Tillman of South Carolina 60
ing to make his home in Birmingham"
asks the Birmingham News. The Selma
Times of yesterday, in publishing an inter-
view with the Rev. Robt Otis, pastor of
the Valley Creek Presbyterian church,
who has just returned from visit to
Columbia, s. c., has the following para
graph:
"While in Columbia Mr.. Otis ran over
to Lexington, which is only 20 miles from
Columbia, and heard the wind up of the
Tillman trial. He says the State never
stood any chance to convict Tillman from
the very first, as the jury was packed with
his friends and sympathizers. 'Tillman,
to the great relief of South Carolina, is go-5
ing to leave the State, but I am sorry
to say continued MI. OTIS that he is to
settle in Birmingham"
The report evidently came to Mr.. OTIS
at Lexington where the trial was in prog
ress, and doubtless has some foundation.
The next few days should determine how
much there is in the rumor."

The Invenhr and his Employers.

Peter Williams, man employed by q
firm of dealers p poultry at salary OF
$40 week, hating grown tired of the
monotonous labor of plucking chickens
and turkeys by hsnd, invented machine
that would do thework.
He showed model of it to the head of
the firm.
"It's good idea,' said the latter, "and
if you care to sell tive will give you $500
forit. That's all it WOULD be worth to US. ,
Peter did not waitto consult an expert
as to the value of his Invention. but closed
with the offer at once.
"Tll take it," he said
Whereupon the firmengaged largely in
the manufacture of polltry-picking ma
chimes and went broke inside of year.
While Peter invested his $500 in min.
ing stock and is now millionaire.
You can't always tell how such things
will turn out.

Seas Bottom is Falling.

Scientists tell us that, counting from
the sea evel, the lowest body of water on
the glot. is the Caspian sea. For Gen.
turies itssurface has been gradually set
tling down until now it is eighty-five feet
lower than that of its near neighbor, the
Black sea which also lies far below the
level of tie oceans. The common con.
clusion all along has been that the Cas-
plan was simply losing its waters by
evaporation but recent investigation
shows that his is not the case. Sound.
ings made AID compared with records OF
soundings made over 100 years ago reveal
the astounding fact that there is even a
greater deptl of water now than then
This leaves bit one hypothesis that would
seem at all taable-that the bottom OF
the sea is actually sinking.

Sunday-Sehoo1 Celebration.

BKANcHvILLE, S. c., November 2.-The
Branchville Methodist Sunday-school had
quite a unique celebration last Sunday
evening.
Under the leadership of the pastor, Rev.
s. A. Nettles, the four Sunday-schools on
the Branchville charge were organized
last spring into regular societies, with
monthly dues of from one to FIVE cents.
Then to every member who would accept,
dime was given with instructions to
occupy" till November.
There are about five hundred members,
divided into captains of ten, with cap
tain for each ten.
The exercises consisted of recitations
by Richard A. Williams, Joseph L. Net
ties, Misses Rebecca Evans, Mary Heaton,
Nettie Berry, Alice Evans, Reba Williams,
Kathleen Izlar, Gertrude Gambati, and
Mrs. W. P. Etchison. The choir, with
Miss Tinnie Berry as organist, furnished
the music.
Rev. S. A. Nettles made talk of half
an hour on the subject of missions and
making reports and explaining the plans
and purposes of the society. Mr.. P. G.
Dukes, the superintendent of the school,
was master of the ceremonies.
The church was crowded, and every
body agreed that it was most pleasant
and successful occasion.
About 800 so far has been collected, and
it is expected that by the time all the dues
and dimes are in, about as much more
will be realized.
Some of the dimes came back without
any increase, but the most of them had
increased two fold, five fold, ten fold, and
one had increased twenty fold.
The money is being used to educate
and train a native Cuban theological
student in Havana. T. n. T.

MAKES BAD WORSE.

Perhaps you have never thought of it
but the fact must be apparent to every one
that constipation is caused by lack OF
water in the system, ard the use Of dras-
tic cathartics like the old fashioned pills
only make bad matter worse. Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are
much more mild and gentle in their effect,
and when the proper dose is taken their
action is so natural that one can hardly
realize it is the effect of amedicine. Try a

A young lady who lives on Polk street
was told if she walked down stairs back
wards, ate four sour apples and quart
of hickory nuts and then swallow glass
of water without taking breath, she
would dream of her future husband. She
tried the prescription on Thursday night
but was not gratifed with her success. As
far as producing dreams it was all right
but she declares that she would not marry
the man she saw in her visions if he
wore a coronet and had more money than

THE WHAM CASE.
The Newberry Observer Comments on
Verdict Of the Jury.

The Jury that tried Jno. G. Wham fol-
the killing of Lafayette Ramage said he
was not guilty of any crime. 1t was a
Laurens jury, and Laurens juries have
the reputation of doing their duty. We
shall not undertake to say they did not
in this instance. But here is quiet and
peaceable citizen, young man of fine
character, shot down because he was try
ing to vindicate peaceably the character
and reputation of a young girl, his niece,
from vile insult put upon her by the
man who shot him. Ramage lies dead in
his grave. Wham goes free.
The circumstances are familiar in their
general aspect, for the killing created a
sensation at the time. Wham's wife and
her guest, a young lady, being away from
home to spend the day, he wrote to the
daughter of his near neighbor, in the
name of his wife's guest, asking her to
come over and spend the day. The note
fell into the hands of the girls mother,
who knew Mrs. Wham and the young
lady were not at home. Wham was call
ed upon for an explanation, and being
cornered acknowledged the act.
Mr.. Ramage and Mr.. Blakely went
to Wham's house and insisted that he go
to the neighbor's and make proper apollo
gies and set the matter right for the young
gill. He promised to do so, but walked
upstairs, armed himself, came down and
shot Ramage, who he claimed at the trial
had his pistol pointed at him, trying to
prevent his escape.
The only witnesses to the killing were
MI. and Mrs. .Wham. The defense was
that Ramage was trying to arrest the de-
fendant without warrant, having come
upon his premises for that purpose; that
when he refused to be arrested Ramage
tried to shoot him and he shot in self-de-
fense. According to the testimony the
jury could very we'll find the facts as
stated. Ramage was not there to testify;
but his pistol was lying by his dead body.
A curious thing about this case is that
the crime against the young woman re-
mains unpunished, and there seems no
way to infict legal punishment for it. It
belongs to that class Of ofenses that are
usually punished summarily, and without
regard to statute law, by the immediate
male relatives of the persons afronted.
A deliberate attempt to ruin young life
in this way knows no legal penalty.
Suppose, however, that upon the discovery
of Wham's perfdy the nephew of the
young girl had taken his shotgun or pistol
and gone to Wham's house and killed
him, what would jury have done? The
law would have said they must find him
guilty of murder; but we doubt that jury
would do so under such circumstances.
All of which means that there are some
|crimes in South Carolina that the statutes
| 10 not reach-some equaling in enormity,
d intent at least and in their possible
Consequence, the taking Of human life

New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. ~
