tition from time to time should the

Motion for the Continuance Made by
Defence.

The case against James II Till.
man has been continued until
the July term of court. The mo-
tion for the continuance was made
by the defence. The defence based
its application for continuance of
the case, first, on the affidavit of
physicians that Capt j A White was
too i'll to attend the court, and sec.
ond on the affidavit that Miss Mary
Julia Roper (another witness for the
defence) was in New York and could
not be gotten here for the trial.

THE TlllMAN TRIAL.
The Slayer of The States Editor Ar.
raigned Yesterday.

COLUMBIA, S. C.-April 2: James
H Tillman is expected to appear in
court tomorrow morning for the
first time to answer for the killing
of Mr. N G Gonzales. This is some.
what of an unexpected turn in this
case. Upon the expectation that
the trial would begin on next Mon
day the States witnesses have been
summoned for that day. The grand
jury has returned true bill against
Tillman.
The defence can make a motion
tomorrow to attack the validity of
the drawing of the grand jury. 1t
can make motion for a change of
venue, or it can move to quash the
indictment on hich the true bill
was found. What the defence will
10 is not known.
Bail having been refused Tillman
the impression is that he is anxious
to have the case 60 to trial: Senator
B r Tillman arrived here this af-
ternoon and visited the Office of
counsel in the case for his nephew.
The State has anL ounced its read
iness to 60 to trial and will be rep
resented by e1-Attorney General
Bellinger, Col Andrew Crawford
and Solicitor Thurmond. The de-
fence will be represented BY Col
George W Croft, Col P H Nelson,
ex-Judgs o W Buchanan and ex-
Congressman George Johnstone.-

Mr.. j. 2. COOPER CHOSEN AS
PRESIDENT OF THE OIL MILL
Board Of Directors and Advisory Com.
mittee Also Elected-Pr oceed-
ings Most Harmonious.

Pursuant to notice of the corpor-
ators, a meeting of the stock holders

Immediately and thereafter made

WORK OF A FiRsBUG.
Torch Applied to Negro's Barn and
Stables at lhdiantoWn.

Last Sunday light Brown Madi'
son, a respectable negro living on
Rev W H Hodges place in the In
diartown section, had his barn and
stables burned with all the corn and
forage contained in the barn, besides
two of his horses were burned to
death and the third was so badly
injured that it will probably die.
The unfortunate owner also lost six
tons of fertilizer, a two-horse wagon
and other property.
The fire was undoubtedly of in
cendiary origin and on Tuesday
Abram Wilson, a dsrkey of unsa-
worry reputation living in the COM
munity, was arrested on suspicion
and brought to Kingstree for a
hearing before Magistrate Wallace.
The evidence against the accused
was all circumstantial and of so
fllmsy nature that the case was
dismissed and the negro released.
The circumstances attending this
affair show it to have been an act of
premeditated and wantor incendiar-
ism and the good people Of that
neighborhood owe it to themselves
and their community to lend all
possible assistance to the authorities
in bringing the guilty miscreant to
justice.

A PLEASED PASTOR.
Rev S. j. Mcdonnell Of This County
Tells Of His New Home.

Editor County Record
| desire 10 claim a short space
in the columns of your next issue
to let my many friends hear from
me. l have just closed very
interesting meeting at Little
River, one of my churches, with
grand results. Our meeting COM
menced Saturday, March 81, and
we were forced to close it Satur-
day night, the 2Sih, on account
Of our approaching qu'rlerly
conference; but our weeks work
was not unsuccessful. The blessed
holy spirit met. with US in the
very first service and We ha! fine
congregations throughout the
meeting, with five protesting
christianity and two applicants
for membership.
Little River is situated in very
pleasant section Of this county.
1t borders along The sea-coast.
which makes it a very pleasant
dwelling-place. The steamer
Sanders > which runs from Little
River to Wilmington twice a
week, lands at::the wharf near the
church. We had The pleasure
not only of enjoying the services
every evening at 7:30 o'clock, but
also of spending the day in visit
ing among our people and making
new acquaintances. 1t was also
pleasant to walk along the beach,
and we enjoyed the delicious
oyster roasts. After enjoying
these bodily comforts it was a
pleasant privilege to return 10 the
house OF .he Lord and commune
with the holy spirit.
Mr Editor, we spent ten days
down there and at the close OF
our meeting on Saturday night
our people surprised their pastor
with an old-fashioned pounding,
which consisted of hams, canned
goods, sugar, coffee and rice. All
this is very encouraging and makes
US feel that our people do not
mean for their pastor to suffer;
but the best of all is the feeling
that the Lord is with US. Our
congregations are increasing at all
our churches. The cause is pro-
crossing and we are hopeful of a
prosperous year in Zion.
Respectfully yours,
s. j. MCCONNELL.
