Hartsville, July 27.-Mr. Solomon

low town, committed suicide today
about noon by placing a single bar

with his toe. Death was almost in
Simultaneous.
Mr.. Hall was man about so years
old and a rather prosperous and
hardworking farmer. He was of an
erratic disposition and before this has
given evidence of insanity. 1t is
thought that the immediate cause of
his rash deed was trouble and desper-
alton over two of his daughters, who
are hopelessly insane at the ASYLUM
in Columbia. His first attempt at sui
eide today was frustrated by his
grown daughter who seized the gun
as he was about to shoot himself. He
broke loose from her, ran around the
house and. before he could be pre-
vented, had killed himself.

TILLMAN is ALL RIGHT.
Reports OF His Being Ill Denied by
His Physicians-Doesn't Intend to
resign - Northern Newspapers
Mistaken-iie is Now Lecturing i'm
the West.

Columbia, July 27.-The reports in
Northern newspapers as to Senator
Tilllnan's ill-health appear to be
without foundation.
DR.. j. w. Babcock, of this city. who
is the Senator's physician, said this
morning that so far as he knows.
Tlllman is in perfect health. "Only
two or three weeks ago." said DR..
Babcock, "Dr. Lavinder and mvself
examined Senator Tillman and found
him to be in good health.
ION August II he will be sixtv-
three years Of age, and for a man
who has led the strenuous life that
Mr.. Tillman has he is in remarkable
health"
The reports that Tillman is at his
home in Trenton are also unfounded.
He is out West now on his lecture
tour. State Superintendent of Educa-
tion Swearingen, who is a kinsman of
1illman. said today that the Senator
Is somewhere in Ohio, and branded as
incorrect the rumOr that "Tillman
contemplates resigning his seat"
Senator Tillman is expected at
Clemson College on August II. He
was at his home on July 16 visiting
his sick sister.

For nearly week the question of

The chief victory won by the SEN

Likewise a victory was won by ;ne

People for Their Respect for the
Law-IdentifcatiOn Positive.

Georgetown, July 27.-At the spe-
cial term of court ordered by the gov
ernor to convene in Georgetown to-
day. true bill was found against
John Jenkins, and his trial imme-
diately followed in which Jenkins was
found guilty and sentenced to death
on the gallows, August 18th.
The testimony began about II
o'clock. The prosecutrix was the first
to be sworn. At the request of the
solicitor and under the act of the last
legislature, so providing, every one
was requested by the Judge to leave
the court room, excepting the near
relatives of the prosecutrix, the attor-
neys and other necessary officials dur
ing the testimony of the young lady
The prosecutrix while on the stand
embarrassed and in a faltering tone
told the story clearly and distinctly
positively identifying the accused who
stood before her. Her startling story
brought tears to the eyes of many
who were present and as she left the
court room, passing the prisoner In
the box, she said: IT hope 1 will
never see that brute alive again."
Several other witnesses testified
among whom were Deputy Sheriff
Ward, F. L. Siau, Jr., and several col.
ored witnesses.
AT the conclusion of the testimon,
the judge charged the jury. as Meth
er side cared to make speech. TIL,
judges charge was short, clear an,
instructive.
The jury retired about 2:15 o'cloc]
and returned in less than three min
utes with a verdict of guilty of a,
assault with criminal intent, as charg
ed in the indictment, for which. un

only punishment that may be inflict
ed was death.

of the court house.

the Jail house and during the Who'll
trial there was perfect order. Judg
Wilson highly commended the peopl
for their action in the matter, thei
orderly conduct, and while it was
case of nature to excite the highes
anger the law was allowed to take il
full course and everything will con
tinue orderly until the execution
