The Tillman Trial.


The case of the State against James H
Tillman is still in progress at Lexington.
Owing to the fact that last Monday was Sale
Day, the Court, when 1t adjourned on Sat
urday. stood adjourned until yesterday
morning.
The State had nearly finished taking testi-
mony. The testimony for the defense will
probably begin today.
One Of the jurors was sick on Saturday and
1t was feared at one time that he would not
be able to finish the trial, but the news yes
terday indicated that he would be able 10
proceed with the trial.
The case is not without interest, but 1t Is
true that the interest in the trial is not wha,
was expected. The testimony seems to have
brought out very little that was not known
before. This, with the belief that the pris.
oner will not be convicted, has made the pro-
ceeding OF the trial less interesting than they
would have been II there were question OF
doubt as to the result.
While 1t may passibly be true that some
men believe that the prisoner ought to be
convicted, yet we have no recollection Of
having heard any man say that he thought
he would be convicted.
By copied paragraph from the Augusta
Herald 1t will be seen that Georgia con.
gressman believes that Tillman will be &C.
given expression to the belief that the
trial would result in either an acquittal or q
mistrlal.

Those Window Shutters.

The grand jury, fearing no harm and know.
ing that the Gather was warm, left the great
plank shutters Of their grand jury room
standing open all Monday night. The temp
tation to jump through the open sash was
great. and the wonder to us is that the ghosts
OF a glorious past did not, during the silent
watches OF the night, hold q meeting in the
sacred precincts to discuss the propriety of
selling our tobacco warehouse to enable the
people Of this county to build Court
House.
The grand jury, If IT cannot prevail on the
proper authorities to build a Court House,
might improve matters by renting the
billiard room, or the barber shop Of the
Eureka hotel. The building Of fine hotel
overshadows the glory and the beauty of our
old tobacco warehouse; which ought to be
moved of the public square.

NET-FISHING IN THE LAKES.
How the Fresh Water Fish Are Can.
tured for the Markets of
the Country.

Practically all commercial fishing in
fresh waters ds carried on by the use
Of nets, whether a rowboat or an up
to-date tug Is employed. The gill net Is
the handiest and Is much used in Lake
Erie. This forms. a. fence ON the bottom
OF the lake about six feet high and any
where from 800 feet to- several miles
long. These nets are made OF thin cord
and can be slowed away in q very small
compass, says the Buffalo Express "A
Ash will swim against the fence of net
ting, get its head caught in the mesh,
and will stay there until taken out by
the fishermen. The nets, are kept in
position in the water by lead sinkers
ON the bottom and cork hobs on top.
The entire net is also anchored secures
ly, while the spot is marked by a buoy.
Gill nets often come In sections 300
feet long, and are fastened togetherin
gangs. Fishing tugs often set gang
that isover four mileslong. Each boat
Is equipped with two gangs.
Pound nets, whose use in New York
waters is prohibited, aroused in Ohio
and Canadian waters They form large
receptacles in the, water into which
dsh find their way and are prevented
from getting out by a trap-like ar
rangement, at the entrance. Game fish
are often caught in, pound nets. Then
there are also smaller trap nets, fyke
nets, and many other varieties, some
OF which are peculiar to different To-
calities.
Some commercial fishing is carried
on by the use of set hnesfo surgeons,
ETC., but such means are not extern
sively employed.

AUTOMOBILE SEA SCOUTS.
A Suggestion Which Might Be Adopt
ed by Naval Powers to Their
Advantage.

AS military motor-bicycles have al
ready proved themselves to be OF
value in scouting, it is probable that
In nearly every civilized country they
will be largely used in future land
warfare. Why, if the fast land scout
prove SO useful, should not the navy
adopt the same methods? A boat, 60
feet long, with two 25-horse power
engines, built very light, to carry, say,
four persons and to be capable of con-
siderable speed, would be most use
full addition to battleship of a feet,
says the London Star. The ordinary
torpedo boat is too long and draws too
much water for scouting near shore or
in shallow water, but launch might
be made to draw less than three feet
of water, and yet have a speed of up
wards of 30 knots. There would be no
tunnels or smoke to attract the notice
of the enemy, and with underwater
exhaust the boat might be made al
most silent. If built low in the water,
Or with the power of semi-submersion,
it would be difficult to hit. Probably
such a craft would be more useful
than anything yet invented in the way
of scout for sea purposes.

ALL GIVE HIM THE ROAD.
One Driver for Whom Every Othe1
Teamster on the City's Streets
Quickly Makes Way.

Perennial in it's power of attraction
is the fire engine dashing along the
city's streets on the way to fire, and
it fascinates all. And every driver and
every motorman, every man handing
anything on wheels gives the fireman
the right of way and he does SO spon-
taneously and gladly, says the New
York Sun.
And often many drivers hold up all
at once to give the driver of the fire
engine his choice of ways, as they
would where two streets cross, and
they do this before they see the en-
CINE at all. But they know it's coming
and they hear it's whistle.
Here was an engine coming along
cross street to Broadway, whistle a
calling. At the first note of it every
motorman or driver who CHANGED at
the moment to be near the Junction OF
Broadway and this street. stopped
short, leaving the central space unoc-
cupied, and leaving clear channels
away from it in every direction.
None of these drivers could know
which way the fire driver would want
to turn when he got to the corner, so
they all stopped, to give him a free
road in whichever way he wanted to
go and when he had come and gone
dashing round the corner they all
started up again on their several ways.
But so far as they could they had given
the whole earth to him.
