of the Act of Tillman.

of the Act of TiIIman.
Columbia, S. c., Jan. 17-Edtor N.
G. Gonzales made the following ante
norton statement:
He said that he had just left his
Office and had started for home When
some distance from his Office he saw
Tillman walking on the street, coming
In the opposite direction Two men
were with him, one of whom was Sen
ator Talbert, the other he did not
know. They were walking abreast and
as the street was crowded, he would
probably have brushed Tillman In
passing
To avoid shat he walked across the
pavement, intending to pass on the in
side. As he was doing this Tillman
fired For moment he was dazed aud
greatly weakened by the shock Com
ing to himself he leaned against the
wall of building for support. After
firing the shot Tillman said: 1--WE
done what you told me-" and still aim
ed the pistol at Gonzales. who de-
nounced him, saying: You've killed
me, you coward. shoot again If you
want. Tillman then lowered his pis-
toll and walked Off
Being questioned about the report
that Tillman said Il got your mes
sage" Mr. Gonzales said most posi-
lively that he had sent him no mes
sage. and that his meeting with Mr..
TilIman was totally unexpected and
that he was not armed
The bullet fired by Tillman pierced
the vital spots of Mr.. Gonzales abdo-
men and pursued course similar to
that in the case of President McKin-
ley
James II. Tillman said: THE state
ments already published in the paper
are untrue and at the proper time |
will be prepared to show this Beyond
this do not intend to make any state.

Baxter & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb. 24-Cotton opened
weak to-day. Cables were poor. Bush

Local confidence appeared to be I'M
settled for the moment but hopeful of
consumption helping the upward move
Tnent in prices. There were no develop
ments over the holiday calculated to
dampen bull enthusiasm as it was
feared might be the case. The in

relied upon to send prices up much
further and the friends of the staple
insist that we are far from highest
