CAUSES FAVORABLE COMMENT,

CAUSES fAVUkAbLc CUMMENI ]. Alaska is fortunate in having many of the great, influential news papers of the States as its friend. Among these may be mentioned the St. Louis Globe Democrat, which is ever ready to say a good word for us and extol our great and varied resources. Editorially, it recently had the following to say regarding the discovery of tin in this section
 "Is Alaska going to add to the number and the variety of the re- sources which she contributes 10 the country's wealth? It looks that way. According to report, a reef of tin ore has just been discov- cred at Nome which promises to be as rich as any hitherto found any where in the world. This is a metal in which the United States thus far has been rather deficient. It is found in this country in many places-South Dakota, West Vir- ginia, California and other re- gions-but it is not produced in any really important quantities in the United States.
 Naturally, a good deal of in- terset has been aroused by this re- port of the find in Alaska. The greater part of the worlds product of tin comes from the Straits Set dement's and islands in Southern Asia. It is found also in England, Spain, Germany, Bohemia, Chile, Peru, Mexico and other countries. America, which now leads in the production of coal, gold, iron and many other minerals and metals, has chance to take a prominent part likewise in furnishing tin. As this is decidedly important com modity, the discovery of tin ore here in quantities like those hinted at in the story from our northerly regions would have an effect which would tell quickly in our indus tries and in cheapening large va riety of useful articles.
 Alaska has contributed many millions of dollars in furs, fish gold and other products. It will furnish vast sums in lumber, and will be granary of the future, fol it has been ascsrtained that wheat can be grown there over large tracts in great quantities. Alasks has many navigable streams, and the whole of the panhandle of that region is close to tidewater. Tn, facilities, therefore, for cheap trans portation from large part e Alaska are good. The population of Alaska in 1900 was 63,OOO, anc it almost doubled in the decade The discovering of the goldfields O Nome and the working of the coa deposits in other parts of the To cality have added greatly to tn, population of the province in thu past three years. Railroads ar' being projected through a larg' part of the country, and an era O development is setting in which promises to make it one of tn, most important of United States possessions. That $7, 100000 whicf we paid for Alaska a third of , century ago was one of the coun try's most profitable territorial in vestments."

Georgetown, June %. There

cd. John Byowntield, the famous
culprit, committed suicide early
this morning by taking poison.
How he procured it is a nys-
terry.
This was the prisoners third
attempt ut lf-dcstructlon and
every care was being taken by
Sheriff }. j. McKcithen to pre-
vent the recurrence of same by
the elimination of all possible
means to such an end.
However, by outside connivancc
and innate cunning the criminal
has accomplished his purpose and
cheated the gallows, which was in
process of erection.
y negro was committed to iail
yesterday charged with burglary
and suspicious are held that he
was the means of the transmission
of some deadly substance to the
desperate prisoner.
John Brownield was sentenced
to die on the gallows by Judge
Gary on Nov. Is, 1900, for the
killing of Deputy Tax Collector
j. 5. Scurry on the 29th of Sep
tember of the same year. The
case was appealed and went up to
the highest court of the State,
which affirmed the verdict Of the
circuit court. The case was then
carried to Tie United States su.

decisions of the State courts.

Mr.. Crawford also spoke in OBJ

gresham George D. Tillman,
was the father of Saluda County

was part of Edgefeld, the de-

Mr.. Nelson spoke strongly. in
favor of sending the case to Salu>

Mr.. Bellinger replied to the re
marks of Messrs Croft and Nelson
with much vigor, asserting that
to transfer the case to SaIuda

the prosecution us well as incon-
Venlent. He said that the de-

to proceed. There were several
lively tits between Messrs Nelson
and Bellinger.
MIR. Croft closed he argument,
asserting that there were ample
Accommodations at Saluda and
that 1t is not u Tillman strong

s'ructed the attorneys to draw up
"a erdor fnr-a ehango of venue

Will announce his decision On that
point to morrow.
The case must be tried in the
judicial circuit in which there are
hve>counties. This county, Rich
land, is now eliminated by to-
days decision. Edgeticld is the
defendants home and counsel for
defence admitted that they did
not expect it to go there, although
counsel for the prosecution pre-
ferred Edgefeld to Saluda. Sa-
luda Is a new county, cut off seven
years ago from Edgefeld, and
George d. Tillman, father of the
defendant, was instrumental in
having it formed.
The other two counties in the
circuit are Lexington and Ker-
shaw, which are on opposite sides
of Richland. Lexington adjoins
Edgefeld, but has close business
interests with Richland, and it is
Lexington that the counsel for
the prosecution seem to prefer.
1t Is believed that Judge Town
send will either name Saluda or
Lexington, and in either case the
trial will not take place for six
weeks or two months.

following the horrible lynchinc
of Gearge White, Helen Bishop S
confessed slayer, at an early hour,
this morning. Of the mob of
nearly 5000, which overpowercd
the authorities, and stormed the
Newcastle county work house, and
dragged from his cell the trem-
bling wretch, and burned him at
the stake, the identity of only one
is publicly known. That person
is Peter Smith, twelve years old,
who fell when the work house
guards fired volley into the
tanks of the attacking mob. The
lad was struck by bullet, which
entered his back, and is thought
to have penetrated hIs kidneys.
AT the hospital, where the boy
was taken, the physicians state,
this morning, that he is III a seri>

After the mob had compile ed

body of the negro ravishcr and

stake, with fire burning all around

The Expected Has Happened.
A Change of Venue Granted in
the Tillman Trlal-No Coun-
ty Yet Named for the
Trial.

" 'hS III XVI
ment on the motion for change
of venue in the case of james II.
Illlman, indicted for the murder
of N. &. Gonzales, was conclud.
ed at 5 O'Clock this afternoon, and
Judge Townsend at once announc-
ed his decision that the change
should be grained. Counsel dis.
agreed concerning the county
where the case should he sent and
this was left undecided for the
present.
The days proceedings opened
with the argument of Mr.. Andrew
Crawford, for the prosecution,
against tho motion. He spoke
for an hour and balt, and his
presentation of the law was highly
complimented. He was followed
by Mr.. p. FL. Nelson, for the de,
fence, who also devoted himself
largely to the law of the case.
Mr.. g. Duncan Bellipger for
merly Attorney General, next ad-
dressed the Court for the prose-
cution, first answering the argu-
ments on the other side. Solicit
tor Tnurmond closed for the pro
secution in a clear-cut speech.
The sensation of the day follow
ed, when Ex-Judge o. w. Buch.
anan, the defendants brother in
law, addressed the Court. 1t was
Fuut thought that Judge Buchanan
would speak, especially as the de-
fence had left only about fifty
minutes of the time allotted that
side, which, it was presumed.
would be occupied by Congress
man George w. Croft, Tillman's
law partner. But Judge Buch-
anan spoke for thirty minutes and
delivered bitter arrangement of
the press, tho commercial interests
and the people generally of Co.
lGmbia. He asserted that com.
merciaIism had supplanted the old
Southern standards, and that the
press was now at liberty to abuse
and vilIify any man who spoke
his honest convictions. He charg.
ed that the State had goaded the
defendant to desperation by its
abuse of him, and said the State
had now cracked its whip and
lashed the citizens of. Columbia
into signing affidavits for the pro-
secution under fear of the States
power. He charged that the cap.
ltallst interest and the press were
allied, and that men had beeu In
timidated into signing those aft,
davits, lest their position or their
business be injured.
"By grabs" exclaimed Judge
Buchanan, elf they don't like
this let them lump it,
Judge Townsend interrupted
the speaker to say that he was
consuming the time of the de
fence and leaving none for Mr..
Croft.
Mr.. Buchanan then took his
seat and Court adjourned for din
ner, with fifteen minutes roman
ing of the allotted time. This
was extended and Mr.. Croft
closed the argument, after dinner,
In a strong speech of about twen-
ty minutes.
AT its close the Court announc-
ed its decision to grant the mo-
tion and asked counsel fol sug,
gestions concerning the place to
which the case should be trans.
ferred. MIR. Croft suggested Sa-
luda, but to this Solicitor Thur.
