numerous evils that certainly
await them. It is somewhat of a
surprise to us that so many good
people manifest so little interest
in the salvation of the young, and
yet somany are taking hold of
the work. that we haven't time to
mourn the supineness of those
who sleep as we are kept bust
ling to keep step with the small
army already enlisted in service.
We take pleasure in calling
your attention to the liberal pro-
vision that has been made to fur
nish free medical aid to those
who are not able to pay for treat
ment and we shall be glad to
serve any in this way. We
wish to thank DR.. Powell for in
augurating this plan.
Some day the sleepers will
awake. Some day girls and boys
will be worth more than gold.
Meanwhile, let us all unite, keep
patient, pull steadily together
and permanent success is ours.
Come again next Sunday at 4
o'clock sharp. We expect the
mixed quartette to furnish the
music, and we intend to address
you on the subject:

Lexington, 5. c., Sept. 3d.
During the seven hours devoted
to the trial of James H. Ti11man,
seven of the states witnesses
we're heard. Some of the cross
examinations today BY counsel
for the defense were rigid. The
state still has number of wit
nesses to be called, and it is now
indicated that at least two weeks
will be consumed in the trial of
the case.
DR.. B. W. Taylor, who was on
the stand when court adjourned
yesterday concluded his testi-
mony this morning. In answer
to question by counsel for the
state he said the operation was
necessary to pro1ong life. After
an examination Of the wounds he
entertained no hopes for the re-
covery of Mr.. Gonzales. Much
OF his testimony was of techni-
cal nature. Mr.. Gonzales was
under the influence of an anaes-
thetic when he first saw him at
the hospital.
Lexington, S. c., Sept. %
Good progress was made today
in the trial here Of former Lieut..
Gov. Tillman who is charged
with the murder of N. G. Con
zales, editor of the State. A large
number of witnesses were exam
med today. The crowd of spec
tators was not as large as yester-
day. Mrs. J. H. Ti1lman add the
defendants mother occupied
seats within the railing through
out the day.
One line pursued by the state
today was with a view to laying
a foundation for the introduction
of dying statements. Four Of
the physician who partic ipated
in the operation on Mr., Gonzales
after he was shot were question
ed today-Drs. Query, Pope,
Taylor and Griffith, all of Column
bia. Much Of the testimony of
the physicians was technical.
Ambrose E. Gonzales, publish
er Of the State, and a brother of
N. G. Gonzales, was called to the
stand when the solicitor offered
in evidence the files of the State
for the year 1902, for the pur-
pose, it was announced by coun-
sci for the State, to introd uce the
editorials in the State news paper,
of which N. G. Gonzales was edi-
tor from July l, 1902, to Deem
Der Is, 1902. The editorials in
question are in relation to James
H. Tillman. Reading of the ed
itorials was postponed that coun-
sci for the defense might read
them first.

Some Facts Which Came Under OBJ
servatiOn of George KEENAN,.
New York Tribune.
Extortion that would make some of Tam
many's "grafters' vince and cry "quit"
was told about by George KEENAN,, in speak
ing of Asiatic Russia at the meeting of
the Quill Club held recently. That his re-
marks touched home was shown by the en-
thusiasm manifested by the audience.
"A case came to my notice in village
where a great deal of wheat was raised"
he said. 1.-The peasants there had been
selling the wheat to a middleman, who
transported it down the river to the city
at large profit. The peasants determined
to ship their own wheat, and bought sew
eral barges to do 1t. The middleman went
to the chief of police when he heard of the
plan of the peasants, and arranged with
him a scheme to stop the peasants from
going further than thirty miles from their
homes, and thus prevent their transporting
their own crops. This was done by the
chief of police stating to the peasants that
he had received orders from the government
not to allow any one to leave without an
order on a special blank. 1t was easy to
say that the blanks had not arrived, and,
until late in the fall, the peasants were
CDnSed TO Sell tne1r wheat TO the middle
man to get rid of it before the river closed.
Such extortions are practised without the
knowledge of the government on account
of the censorship Of the press, the press

to make such deal with
