one else would take the lead and
The State did. Be it said to the
everlasting credit of the South
Carolina press that nearly every
newspaper in the State backed
The State with more or less
vigOr.
During the progress of the
campaign delegation of Hey
wards supporters called upon the
editor of The State to say that
they thought The States fight on
jim Tillman was hurting Hey
ward and suggesting that The
State be more mild in its meth
Ods, intimating that the editor
should subordinate his personal
feeling for the sake of electIng a
clean governor. Mr.. Gonzales
assured the gentlemen that he
had no particular interest in
Heyward's candidacy, that The
State was not supporting Hey
ward and that its altitude, in his
opinion, could not damage Hey
wards chances. But, above all,
he assured them that he con
ceived it his duty to the people
of South Carolina to expose jim
Iillman and that he proposed to
do so regardless OF his personal
opinion of him. He did so, and
paid for it with his life five
months after the election.
THE DEMONSTRATION"
Having considered the absurd
ity of the alleged threats and the
alleged animosity in the light of
n. @. Gonzales true character
let us consider the alleged "dem-
onstration" in the same light.
In sustaining his plea of self
defense, j. II. Tillman has sworn
that he shot n. q. Gonzales be-
cause Mr.. Gonzales met him wit h
his hands in his pockets, that he
glared at him, cut across towards
HIM and rammed his hand into
his pocket as if TO draw a pistol.
Why should any one imagine
that n. q. Gonzales would carry
pistol ? To prove the reason
ableness of that supposition the
defense produced court record
of II years ago, which showed
that when his life had been threat.

himself but instead of shooting
his assailant had let him off with
clubbing. That was the only

numerous editorials in The State
since that date demanding the
observance and the enforcement
of the Law against carrying con.
coale1 weapons and, condemuing
its violators as menaces to the
civilization of this common
wealth. Evidently these editor.
ials, however, were not convinc-
ing on that point, for the man
who says he expected Mr.. Con.
zales to shoot must have read
Cnem, and the Only conclusion Is
that he did not believe the editor
of The State lived up to his own
teachings. But he did, his con-
sistency was unimpeachable. He
did not have a pistol on his per-
sou on the 18th day of last Jan
uary nor was it his habit to carry
one. A pistol which belonged to
him-used, think, during his
campaign in Cuba-lay that day
in his desk where it had been Tor
mouths untouched and it lies
there today as these words are
written, still untouched.
COURAGE.
The quality of courage which
enables a man to go about un-
armed when his life is in danger
is above the conception of COW.
ards, but that is the sort of cour-
age which n. @. Gonzales had.
AS long ago as last summer, dur
ing the campaign, the writer told
Mr.. Gonzales OF the conversation
between Tillman and Ned Adams
to which Adams testified on the
stand. Mr.. Gonzales did not ut
ter one word in comment.
Others warned him and some
even urged him to carry a pistol
but he refused to consider such a
proposition because he could not
consistently do so. He would
rather lose his life than be incon-
sistent and untrue to his princi-
pies.
The Lexington jury has said
that Tillman shot in self defense.
AS he lay on the floor of the
State Office that January day,
shot through and through and
suffering agonies, N. G.. Gonzales
turned to the writer and said:
They can't plead self-delense
this time!" Shall the world &C

THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.
This article has proceeded up
on the supposition that TilIman
has been acquitted on his plea of
self. defense. That plea was lost
sight Of by his attorneys in their
arguments, it appearing only oc,
casionally. They rather sought to
justify the homicide on the
ground that the dead man was a
political and personal nuisance, a
fearless eXposer of corruption and
the corrupt, an enemy TO demag.

guage on the witness stand would
not suggest the probability Of his
using the expression "if there
were no other alternative" Yet
a million times more improbable
IL is that n. G. Gonzales should
use the expression which Flow
ers says he employed. None OF
his iutimates ever heard him use
that epithet inc connection wIth
any one. AS a matter Of fact,
Mr. Gonzales did not permit pro
family and obscene expressions
to pass his lips. His speech was
pure.
Ii is quite natural that men
who put words into a dead mans
mouth should put such words as
they would themselves employ.
These alleged conversations in
which N. q. Gonzales is repre-
scented as confiding his thoughts

The braklng of high-powered cars r.
one OF the most important problems IN
automobiling. The presence at the
recent Chicago show Of what is prob
ably the first motor vehicle to be
equipped with air brakes is therefore
interesting The machine in question
has a small air pump, driven by a cam
on the crank shaft, which forces air
into a tank The pump is provided
with automatic mechanism that can
be adjusted to throw II into action
when the pressure In the tank falls
below a given point, say 90 pounds,
and out Of action when Il reaches 30
pounds per inch. Connected with the
air tank by a tube Is a small cylinder
on the rear axle having two opposite
ly acting pistons that when pushed
outwardly expand friction shoes in
brake drums on the rear wheel hubs
Each stop Of the car uses about two
pounds of pressure, so that II the
pressure Is up to 80 pounds ten
stops can be made before Il falls TO
90 and the pump is put into action
again.
The compressed air Is also used for
blowing 6 whistle and for forcing
gasolene from large tank under the
rear Of the body into a smaller tank
on the dash, which Is provided with a
guage glass 80 that the operator can
always see how much gasolene Is IN
the small tank. which feeds the car.
bureter BY connecting a hose direct
to the air pump the tires can be in
fated to 100 pounds pressure.

tory system, whereby II there is any
stoppage Of the circulation the driv-

Where the Heart Of the American
Timber Belt 70 New.
In the United States the heart of
the lumber belt has moved westward.
At the beginning Of the last century
almost the entire wood supply came
from the then untouched forests Of
the penobscot River region Of Maine.
As the woodsmen cut deep into the
heart Of the wood the industry was
forced TO find other fields from
which to draw It's supply. and the vir-
gin forests Of the South and Of the
States bordering on the Great lakes
we're cut into Although these re-
gions are by no means depleted TO-
day, the Pacific coast Is rapidly be-
coming the heart Of the lumber trade
And what wonder for In the three
States Of California, Oregon and
Washington. there is at least one
third Of the entire supply Of standing
timber IN the United States. In ig-
ures. It amounts 10 more than 000,OOOs-
100000 feet Of uncut wood.
The forest reserves and national
parks set apart by the United States
government within the limits Of these
three states aggregate an area or 81
42s square miles or more than p per
cent OF the total wooded area OF the
states. In the state Of Oregon alone,
where a careful examination has been
made, the national census officials
have estimated the standing timber
on these reservations at $4,000. 900, 900
feet, or one-fourth Of the states total
supply.-Revlew Of Reviews.
