THE j. ii. TILLMAN TRIAL
spartanburg Journal.

" 80 hhhhM aN M N IL
spartanburg journal.
Lexington, Aug 1S--About
a month hence it is expected
that this little town will be en-
tertaining the largest number
of visitors ever known in its
history. The trial of James n.
Tillman for the murder of N. G.
Gonzales in Columbia is set for
that time, and it is generally
believed will be delayed no
longer. Almost 500 witnesses
have been summoned to appear
in this case by the opening
sides
All available space in the
hotels has been engaged weeks
since by interested parties, and
how the immense number of
spectators sure to be on hand,
will be Accommodated, is an in
teresting problem. The last
census gave the town something
over nine hundred inhabitants.
1T is thought that at least ), 600
will be here during the trial.
Meantime the prisoner occu-
pies his cell in the Lexington
County jail. Sheriff Caugh
man has made him as comfort
able as possible, putting him on
the shady side Of the building
on the first floor near tho
sherifl's own quarters and oc-
casionaIly permitting him to
exercise himself by walking up
and down the corridor. As IL
rule the sheriff does not lock
the cell from the outside but
leaves the lock for Tillman to
turn if he so desires.
Three times a day Mr.. Marks.
who keeps restaurant just be-
hind the jail, can be seen bring
ing the prisoner his meals. Till
man states that he finds his quar-
ters here pleasanter than those in
the Richiand Jail, where he was
first imprisoned during some
warm days of May and June.
Speculation as to the verdict
in the case is almost useless. As
stated above, Mrs. JAS. II. Till
man has relatives in the town
and also in the country and peo
pie feel much real sympathy for
her. 1t is doubtful ii the same
feeling exists in her husbands
case. The belief of almost all
those who have read the news
papers and care to express them
selves is that the act was genuine
murder and should be punished.
AT the same time it should be
remembered that Senator Tillmau
has always had a large following
In the county, whatever his
nephew'a following was and that
this fact Is almost sure to in-
fluenCe some juryman.

Tue n -wb5rey Observer has fall
en- into line and sees no reason why
an obituary written by a friend
Of deceased person should not be
paid for, to insure publication,
the same IS any other Legitimate
advertising matter. 10 this respect
our contemporary hes arrived at q
wise conclusion. There is just as
much reason to ask merchant for
a dollars worth of grsnulated sugar
free, gratis for nothing on the
strength of having at one time or an
other purchased q niekle gin
gercake from him as it to expect q
publisher to extol the virtues of a
dead person to the amount of two
or three dollars free because the said
person was once subscriber. Busi-
ness is one thing and friendship is
another and when the two conflicts
friendship must be pushed aside or
otherwise the meal barrel will often
go empty.

The food situation in the Missis-
sippi river and its tributaries, is in
deed alarming. The people having
homes adjacent to the rivers have
been living ina state of intense ex-
citement and constant dread for days
past. At one time it was thought
that the levees, which protects the
low lying country from the raging
waters in times of foods, would yield
10 the great pressure they were sus-
saining and the whole country inun-
dated, leaving ,uin and devasta-
sion in the wake of the unbridled
waters. But happily this danger
was averted by the subsiding of the
waters together with the incesant
work of the people. The situation
still remains grave, however.
