enthusiasm, supposing their congress-
man has, amid the stress and turmoil
of legislative battle delivered the
aforesaid speech on the floor of the

he inserted several thousand words in
the Record. and noted. for the benefit
of his constituents. that foruy-tw
times his transcendent eloquence and
glittering speech brought forth
"applause.
| A reading of his speech in the
Record gives the idea that, so greatly
were his hearers moved, they bruised
their hapds to express their appreci.
alton. and made the welkin ring with
loud huzzas.
Who put those forty-two applauses
in the Record?
1t was man from Georgia, but he
has requested that his name be not
disclosed.
In the Senate this leave to print is
not granted. All that appears in the
Record to have been said by a senator

floor of the Senate. However, if in
the course Of his remarks a senator
desires to quote from the speech OF
somebody else. Oh insert citations from
some authority, or include tables OF
statistics. he may have these inserted
and incorporated in his speech with
out reading. He cannot start a
speech. however, and then finish it by
debating it to his private secretary,

so he simply quit until the next day

State Emanuel Carver, a
Dung white man about 80 years
OF age, living six miles south of

tilled this afternoon by Will
Herrin, colored.
The hilling took place in field

the negro Herrin, who did the
killing, it is claimed is of unsound
mind. Herrin went to Carver's s
field and without warning or
notice shot him down. Informa-
tion received here is that after

THE INQUEST EXCUSE FOR THE
HORRIBLE MURDER.
Saluda special in Wednesdays
News and Courier: Coroner
Glisson has just returned from
holding an inquest over the
body of Mr., Carver, the young
white man killed in this county
yesterday afternoon by VIII
Herrin. No possible excuse
can be found for the killing.
There are some who say Herrin
sometimes acted strangely. Mark
Herrin, the father of Will, says
that he took the gun shells away
from him yesterday morning, but
afterwards Will obtained some
from a white man.
AS stated in the stories pub
lished today, Mark Herrin was
here yesterday afternoon TO see
the Probate Judge about WILLIS
condition Will Herrin lived
with Mr.. Carver until the first
of August, when his time was
out. Since then he has been
staying with Mark Herrin, three
miles from the Carver home.
The testimony of the inquest
shows that Mr Carver and his
wife were picking cotton near
the house. Mrs. Carver being
attracted by the crying of her
baby, went into the house. Very
soon she heard gunshot at the
edge of the yard, and rushing to
the door was Mortified to see her
husband on the ground and Will
HerTin standing over him beat
ing him across the head with a
gun Herrin walked leisurely
away and placed himself near
the house in bunch of weeds.
While beating Mr.. Carver over
the head with the gun the stock
OF the gun broke off.
Herrin, it appears, made no
special attempt to escape, but
remained near the Carver home.
When the neighbors arrived and
started towards Herrin to arrest
him ne cursed the crowd vilelv,
and raising MS stockless gun fl
ed at them, wounding one OF the
party. When Herrin fired MIR.
II. j. Forrest fired at him, the
charge tearing out one OF his eyes
The shock turned him, and an
other shot was fired into him
Nothing dauntad, Herrin calmly
loaded his single barrel gun and
returned the shot, this time hit
ting Andrew Cooler. Then it
was that several shots were fired
into him and his capture was ef-
fected. None of Herrin's wounds
are dangerous.

Woman in North Carolina
Shot to Death by Husband
While Seated in Her Home
Reading a Paper--The
Husband Says it Was an
Accident.
Durham special in Charlotte
Observer: The most sensational
homicide this county has known
since the crime for which John
Hodges was hanged, the murder
of his wife two years ago, took
place three miles from Durham
tonight at 8 O'Clock and w. FL
Tilley is held tonight without
bail.

blood of unbelievable amount
Mrs. Tilley is lying face sidewise
to the floor. A Winchester bull
let has passed through her face
and her husband sits within five
feet of her, held by Sheriff Har-
ward, who does not hesitate to
tell the man that he murdered
his wife.
Tilley's story is that at 9
O'Clock he saw a dog in his yard
aud, taking down his rifle, snap
ped twice at the beast Think
ing his gun was unloaded, he hit
it with his hand and it discharg.
ed full in the face of his wife
who was sitting at the bureau
reading paper. She fell with
out cry and he rushed TO her,
he says. Believing her dead, he
went to neighbor's and arous
ed him. She died twenty min
utes later. The fellow talks
with a refreshing nonchalance OF
the tragedy. He does not seem
the least disturbed and when
pressed for an account of his
past lite says it has not been
what it might have been, do
mestically speaking. He is pre-
tentiously religious and has stood
without blame in his neigh bor-
hood. Nevertheless Sheriff
Harvard says Mrs. Ti!ley has
appeared often in distress and
asked advice as to living with
her husband, who had threaten.
