the main point we started out to
stress. We recognize the danger to
society when men may be shot down
for criticising, in a legitimate way,
tbe records of public men. But is
there not a greater danger to society
in the presumption thet men are more
truthful and trustworthy because
they wear better clothes and use more
polished language?
We have no patience with any such
theory. A mans varacity is not to
be- measured by the color of his neck
tie, nor the height of bis standing
collar, nor by the crease in his trous-
ers, nor by the polish on bis shoes.
A man is not necessarily purcdas-
able because he wears patched breech-
es and a seedy hat; o is he more
likely to be a perjurer because be earns
his living by muscle instead of by
his wits; nor, percbance, he hasn't
enough education to know a sight

Lastly, the latitude allowed attor-
neys in which they may honorably go
counter to their personal convictions.

case, is entirely disapportionate to
that allowed witnesses and jurors in
testifying and deciding a case. For
the sake of arguments, or illustra-
ton, let us suppose that an attorney
takes the wrong side of a case for a
"fee". Suppose then, a juror on the
same case decides the same way for
a reconsideration" In what way shall
We measure the moral quality of their
respective acts or d~ifferentiate the
moral quality of the moral principle

or worse, how much more honorable
or dishonorable ia it to advocate a
wrong cause for a "fee" than it is to
decide a cause the wrong way for a
consideration?
These are questions that an unb;-
ssed public must answer before it
undertakes to heap moral obliquity
upon the jurors and witnesses in the
Tillman trial. The one may have
been bribed and the other may have

There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and until
the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For q great many
years doctors pronounced it a local
disease and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounc-
ed it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. It ia
taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts

surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for particulars

The Tiilman Trial.
Orangeburg Patriot.

Orangeburg Patriot.
The Tillman trial is over. The
result is no surprise to those who
have watched not only this particu-
lar trial, but others of like kindi in the
past. ...
Every newspaper in the State is
delivering it's own special and p~articu-
lar opinion about the jury. The
verdict has evoked some very caustic
craiticism, many broad insinuations,
and a few direct aud very serious
charges.
We entertain certain views on this
noted case but we have little or no
hope that they will suit the partisans
of either side.
In the first place, it was a political
trial warp and woot. It wss not only
political, it was partisan and there is
no use to deny it. Therefore the
verdict pleases one class of partisans
and outrages the other. %
Having never advocated Col. James
81. Tillman in his political aspirations,
and having never endorsed the late
editor Gonzales methods of political
warfare, we can not justly be accused
of being a partisan of either.
Our comments shall be made chief
" upon the jury, upon the witnesses
and upon the attorneys. Many have
insinuated and quite a number have
asserted that the jury was "pscked,"
that witnesses were bribed to swear
falsely and that the entire trial was
a farce and an outrange. All this
may be true, but not to an un-
biased locker on, most of the news
paper comments upon, purchased"
jurors, "perjured" witnesses and
"bribed" witnesses seemed to have
based their assertions upon the pre-
sumption that every witness for Till
man lied, that every circumstance in
his favor was trumpted up and that
all the witnesses for the State told
the truth-that the jurors should be-
lieve all that the witnesses for the
prosecution said and nothing that the
witnesses for the defense said. In
all of these Prescriptions they may
have been right, but We shall not es-
say to judge.
But why should those jurors be &C.
cused of being "bought up" Did
not the Judge charge them to give
the prisoner the benefit of the doubt.
And was there enough conflicting tes-
timony to awaken 8 doubt in their
minds if, as they swear, their minds
were unprecedented when they went on
the jury? It must be remember that
these jurors we're sworn and instruct
ed to bring in a verdict, not accord
ing to ther persona! beliefs, prejudices
or predictions, but according to the
evidence, giving the prisoner the ben
eft of the doubt. How were the ju-
rors to know that all the lying was
on one side and all the truth on
the other! Most of the witnesses
were strangers. Those for the pros
ecution testified one thing; those for
the defense, another. Was not a
reasonable doubt inevitable to all ex-
cept to those partisan who, on the
one hand, had made up their minds,
before the trial, that Tillmsn should
be acquitted and, on the other hand,
to those who had made up their minds
that he should be hanged for muir
der!
How were the Jurors to determine?
"Look at the mob that testified for the
Defense" one partisan will say. You
would not be surprised at the verdict
had you seen the jurors" says an
other partisan.
Such remarks as these bring us 10
