T|LtMAN'S TRIAL
HE IS CONFIDENT THAT THE
JURY WILL .ACQUIT
HIM.
Prosecuting Attorney Thurmond
Was Once Defended by Till
man for the Same Crime

Lexington, S. c., Sept. 2O.-Jas.
81. Tiilman, who, while lieutenant
governor of South Carolina, killed
N. G.. Gonzales, editor of the ). CO.
Iumbia State, will be called on to
plead to an indictment for murder
when Judge Gary opens court here
Although it is highly improbable
that the actual trial of the case will
begin before Wed nesday or Thursday
all of Tillman's counsel are here.
They came over Saturday and to-
day. bringing with them quantities
of law books.
Tlllman processes to be very con-
fdent of acquittal, and his conf
dence Is apparently shared by his
counsel and by many people of the
county. While every one hsre is
pot Tillman sympathizer, those
who feel friendly toward him pre-
dominate.
THE people of Lexington are a
merciful people and seldom con-
vict," said one of the leading coun-
sci for Tillman tonight.
A peculiar coincidence in this
case is that the prosecuting attor-
ney, J. William Thurmond, who
will prosecute Tiilman, once killed
a man by the name of Harris and
was defended by Tillman, who was
at that time member of the law
firm of Tillman & Croft. He appear
ed as the leading counsel for Mr..
Thurmond.
Interest in the coming trial is so
great that practically every South

ses have been summoned, and these
with the Tillman sympathizers,
court officials, attorneys and news
paper correspondents more than e.
quail the whole population of the
little town.
On Lexington's one street are the
courthouse, Jail, hotel, stores aSd
residences, The jail, substantial
brick structure, is directly opposite
the courthouse. Diagonally across
from the Jail is the single hotel, at
which are staying the judge. the
counsel for the defense and the pros
Tecution. All mingle together, and
apparently the best of good feeling
prevails. But those who know the
men who will respectively prosecute
and defend Tillman predict that
this harmony will not prevail after
the trial begins.
The hotel, which has hardly the
requisite rooms either in size or
lumber to secure a license under
the Raines law in New York, is SO
crowded that six persons are sleep
ing in one room. Conditions will
be much worse tomorrow when the
witnesses and others arrive.
Senator Ben R. Tillman, uncle
of the accused man, passed through
on his way to Colum bia today, but
he will return tomorrow when his
nephew is to be called on, to plead
and will stay here throughout the
trial.
James FL. Tillman refused to see
any one today except his counsel.
In response to note Mr.. Tillman
sent the following:
ST have no statement to make at
this time. JAS III. TILLMAN."
Many of Tillman's relatives are
here, and will remain until after

Los Angeles, Sept. 26 Eight
months ago Rev. D. Whalen was a
highly respectable citizen and pas
tor of the Baptist church. New
York. He was prosperous and
blessed with an interesting family.
Now he occupies cell in the jail
in this city, awaiting word from his
old home, which he SO sbamelessly
deserted and came here acccompan-
led by Mrs. James H. Clark, a
young parisboner, whom he intro
duced as his wife.
The couple at once took up
church and temperance work.
Whalen became prominent among
the Volunteers Of America and
made money on the side. The
young woman known as Mrs. Wha-
len died August 27. The man gave
out word that she fill and injured
herself fatally. The rumor is now
that death had some suspicious fea-
lures and thorough investigation
is to be made. Meanwhile the al
legged minister sits in his cell and
bemoaps his fate. He says he is
treated cruelty and that his enemies
will be punished. On visiting him
this morning a rough trusty listen
ed to his complaints and then ask
ed: Chow do you think you treat
ed your wife and little ones yon de-
serted back East2'' Whalen re-
piled that the trusty was heartless
and unworthy of notice.

1t may pc said of humor, as Mark
Twain in conversation once said of
bacon, that it would improve the flavor
of an angel. Those who enjoy humor
certainly enjoy it very much; indeed.
it would not be strange if half the
world should consider the extravagant
praise of humor by the other half as
in very poor taste, since it is acknowl-
edged by him who laughs, as by him
who refrains, that the lack of this
quality of mind Cor shall we say of
mind and bodyD may consist with
the most admirable qualities of charac-
ter, says the Century. There is a sec
ond count in the Indictment; that
praise of humor implies in the praiser
the conceit of possessing it. However,
as no one wanting in humor ever
praised it, the latter consideration
may be neglected.

dess, their Amazons and their swift
Atalantas in the athletic games, have
shown us how beautiful woman can
be in the short tunic worn by the
youths. But no doubt even then old
folks mentioned a prehistoric time
when girls were not so bold
Probably the most notable case in
point is that of the justly celebrated
Maid OF Orleans, who, like a sensible
woman when she found herself in a
situation where mems clothes were
not only convenient. but necessary,
calmly wore them before all the world
and was undoubtedly the secret envy
and admiration Of the quantity coiffed
and frocked damsels of the court.
The most interesting illustration of
all, and one over which it is a pleas
ure to linger, is that lovely plaintiye
company, the delight of poets, play
wrights and novelists, the maidens
who through the evil chances of ven
geanee, war and especially of love,
were driven to adopt the disguise of
masculine garments in order to wan
der forth into the wide world to seek
a refuge or to follow the fortunes of
a cruel or distressed lover.
One can't help wondering in these
prosaic times why every one was so
easily taken in as to their sex, aud if
they borrowed their clothes from a
younger brother or the faithful page,
or if, with the eternally feminine
yearning for perfect fit, they went
secretly to the tailor and had the most
becoming suit possible made to order
for the journey.
Small masculine touches are to be
found in each succeeding fashion and
no doubt were considered extremely
smart and daring by the ladies VINO

Cot in Man11ish Fashion,
S~~~~~~~~
Unreasonable Reproach of Garments ofNew
Woman How Her Sisters in Many Lands
Copy NLheir Brothers Clothes.

One Of the pet reproaches made
against the new woman is that In her
unseemly longing to stand upon the
same footing as her aforetime lord
and master she invented the fashion
Of wearing garments of a mannish
cut.
This is most unjust and she may
readily be proved guiltless of the
charge by a trifing investigation OF
the fashions of ancient times and of
conservative countries where the poor
things are as unemancipated as pos
sible, as their foremothers Of a thou
sand years ago.
The Chinese lady, as every traveller
testifies, is one of the most modest,
retiring and conventional of creatures,
yet she wears clothes almost exactly
like those of her husband and broth
ers. Indeed, in China trousers are
considered much more proper as femi-
nine garments than skirts.
The Turkish woman's dress is iden-
teal with that of the husband, who
keeps her so carefully shut away from
all new-fangled notions, and the Es-
quimau woman clothes her little fat
legs in tight sealsllin breeches fin
ished off with smart fur-topped boots

Manure From weII-Fed Animals.

A bulletin of the Mississippi station
says: The manure from animals fed
on cotton seed or its products is of
the very highest value. Cotton seed
and cotton-seed meal are about the
only feeds that are ever used directly
as fertilizers and that are worth their
market price for this purpose. The
liquid and solid excretions of animals
contain most of the fertilizer ingredi-
ents in a feed and it seems that stable
manure should be one of the valuable
products on every cotton farm.
The beef cattle of the station are
fed in barn, but they are never CON
fined in it, being allowed to go in and
out as they please. Leaves or othex
bedding are used in sufficient quantity
to absorb the urine and keep the barn
dry and comfortable, and in this way
we get about one ton of manure to
each animal during the winter
months. Six steers in four months
produced 1850 pounds or a little
more than eight tons. Eighteen ami.
mails produced during the winter 37141
pounds. The herd produced, during
the winter of 1902, 100000 pounds.
or little over ga tons.
Blight was very bad in cotton last
season. On the station plats every
thing blighted and shed the leaves ex-
cept the plat fortified with stable
manure. The manure not only pre-
vented blight, but it gave a better
yield per acre and improved the
staple to an appreciable extent. Small
applications of manure have proven
very beneficial to cowpeas, alfalfa and
bermuda. Manure improves land in a
very decided manner and is more last
ing than commercial fertilizers.

Do Typhoid Germs Pass Through
Cows.


The Oregon experiment station
gives an account of experiments made
with various germs found in water.
During the experiment water impreg-
mated with germs of different sorts
usually found in water were given to
the COWS to drink, but no trace could
be found of them in the milk. Later
typhoid bacilli in the water were ad-
ministered, with only a trace of the
typhoid germs in the cultures made of
the milk. The results obtained by
this investigation are gratifying, in
asmuch as they are conclusive: First,
that pure culture Of typhoid bacilli
mixed with water and given to the
COW to drink did not pass into the
milk. Second, that they did not pass
from the COW alive with the excreta;
third, that they did not pass from the
COW alive with the urine, and fourth,
that they were not taken into the
udder by capillary attraction through
the teat orifce.

Process Rutter saIes Decreased.

1t is reported from various mar
kets that the effect of the recent legis-
lation regarding oleomargarine and
process butter has been to greatly
curtail the sale of both. Process but
ter men declare that the effect has
been disastrous on their business,
especially on the exportable surplus
of this butter. We think the great
mass of dairymen will not find much
fault with this result While the
maker of poor butter may not so
readily sell it as formerly, the max
er of good butter will not find pro-
cess butter taking his trade away by
means of an article that masquerades
as fresh-made creamery butter. The
present law merely prevents fraud,
and should have the support of every
honest man.-Farmers' Review.

Dairy Cattle in the United Kingdom.
The preliminary returns of the num-
Der of live stock in the United King
dom on June A, 1902, are issued, and
show that the total head of cattle in
Great Britain was 207,918 less than
last year, while in Ireland there was
an increase of 108,S81, which gives
total reduction of 99,037, says the
Dairy World of London, England The
milking herd in Great Britain was O.
556,126, being 46,168 less than last
year, while in Ireland there was 1,510,-

$50. The reported deficiency Of about
100000 in the milking herd is there
fore very wide of the mark 1t is
curious to note that while the
droughty summer of 1893 reduced the
milking herd of the United Kingdom
by $3.50, and all other cattle two
years old and over by 90,S11. or near
ly equal to the milking herd, the
droughty summer of last year reduced
the milking herd by only 1880, and
the cattle two years old and over by
59,5l2, or more than three times the
reduction of COWS and heifers. 1t
may be that the higher price of milk
last autumn was the factor which in
duced the farmer to keep his COWS in
preference to his other cattle. 1t was
not SO with butter. for the price was
only farthing higher a pound than
in 1893.
