g. J. Terrill, editor of a newepaper
In Florence county, was asked by So
licitor Thurmond If he ever heard Till
man make any threat*. He replied
that he was walking along the streets
of Edgefield with Colonel Tillman In
the early summer of ISOS, he thought
It was, and he (Tillman) said he was
going for the governor and If Gon
zales attacked him he waa going dowo
then and kill him, and.I think he said,
like a dog.
On cross-examination, the wltnese

not made tile statement be made to
day when application was made for
hall for tho defendant. Ho said ho
bad not. Witness waa questioned by

daring the campaign lu which he said

be' governor or South Carolina he
would have to fight Oonzales, to which
he said the defendant replied:
"That won't do, bocauae I’m the lieu
tenant governor and will be at peace."
The witness testified that Mr. Till-
man made the further statement:
“You hoy* need not worry. By
, I'll snuff hla life with this." the j
witness adding, "pulling Ms pistol from ;

Continuing, witness said the defen
dant said, among othor things:
“I'll make It the .... tragedy that
wver happened In South Carolina”

Tunncle Under East River For Pemv
sylvanla Road.
New York,. Oct. *.—After months of
consultation between eminent engi
neers of this and other cities, the
Pennsylvania Railroad company final
ly has decided upon the methods by
which It will build Its tunnels under
the North and East rivers, and Man
hattan island, and has advertised for
bids on the work and material.
The construction between the North
river will consist of two single cast
Iron tubes entering this city at the foot
of West Second street, and running
under that street. They will be
built by the Shield process. Among
the many precautions arranged to
make the tunnel as safe as possible,
will he two concrete «fd« tralkt built
Inside the tubes and must be roomy
enough to allow ample width for these
walks. The object of the walks If
to provide exists for passengers in
case of accident. Every car. It ii.
claimed, will be fireproof. The tun
nel itself will be fireproof. The heat
ing system will be thh most perfect
known. The lighting power will be
separate from that which fjirnaces op
erating force, and there are to be nu
merous hydrants and hose and nozzles
ready to put Into Immediate use In the
event of fire. •
The tubei will rest upon what are
known as screw pile foundations, made
ot Iron. The East river tunnel will
be of similar construction, carrying
four tubes. *
The underground station in this city
will extend from Seventh to Ninth av
enue, and from Thirty-first to Thirty
third street. The plana provide that
It ehall be 40 feet below the street
'level. Although entirety under the
ground, the state will be the largest
In the world in respect to both width,
length and trackage.
The power to be used In the tunnel,
as required by both the states ot New
York and New Jersey, will be entirely
by electricity, used by through elec-
trie locomotives. ,
Culture ot Com uud Cotton. Voteh,-
Altelfo, Wheat und Oats.
Prepare « deep root tied tor the cot
ton to grow on. Very much depend*
ujion this thorough preparation.
Spread your manure broadcast. Put
on as mccli as yon can afford. There
Is no danger of getting too much. Then
turn this under with a goad two or
three horse plow. If the field has not
been anbeolled, then you should follow
this turn plow with a subsoil plow.
Then barrow and roll uud harrow
again. Do this work in the fall. Oc
casionally through the winter you
should burrow, or you may put on the
land some grain or clover crop to be
turned under In spring.
When springtime comes harrow the
soil deep and fine and put ou guana.
Use this freely if you wish. You will
not lose anything by using anywhere
below n ton per acre. Put It broad
cast and barrow In. Then nse a small
quantity with the seed.
Plant without bedding. Give rows
good distance. Five feet will not be too
much. As soon us crust forms run
over with a weeder. Repeat this once
a week until the cotton Is six or eight
Inches high. Bring to n stand about
sixteen Inches, one to two stalks In a
place.
Cultivate rapidly and shallow until
the bolls are full grown ou lower limbs
unless It locks too much. Those are
the lending points. Good Judgment and
common sense will fill lu the details.
With this plan we have succeeded In
getting two and more bales per acre.
The same method of preparation Is
Deeded for corn that wo have just
given for the cotton. Plant-rows four
feet and corn eighteen Inches In- the
drill. It requires plenty of stalks to
make an abundant yield of corn.
Cultivate just os for cotton. In both
cases use the dust board In June, July
and August. Get the best possible va
riety of seed.
Do not pull the fodder, but cut the
corn when the fodder Is full ripe.
Most of It should be dead. Shock well
and shred.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
A Handy Substitute That Saves the
Ressluv Wagon Bus.
For handling manure, earth, 'stone,
etc., a good farmer does not like to use
the regular box of his farm wagon, and
he may. for some kinds of rough and
dirty work replace the box with rough
boards laid loosely between the stand
ards In the old way. This method has
some disadvantages, however, an the
bottom boards are opt to work out ot
place and the side boards to fall down
at the least provocation. An Ohio
Former writer therefore suggests that
it it beet to go to a little more trouble
and arrange the boards as Illustrated
Ht*.
A SPUSTITUTI FOB A WAOOS BOX.
ta Fig. 1. Use the required number of
boards planed on edges to suit apace
between standards and nail or screw
to two or three crosspieces to bold them
In place. Hinge the boards at side so
ns to stand up supported by the stand
ards when on the wagon nnd fold up
when not In use. Or the hinges may be
put on on the outside, hnring back of
hinges next to the boards. The side
boards will then turn out Instead of in
when folded and will just turn In far
enough to stand erect when on the
wagon bed.
Another way to overcome the main
disadvantages of loose boards' on tho
bed Is to have each side board and the
bottom board Immediately under It
nailed and strapped together as In Fig.

Argument* Heard Before Commission
In London.
London, Oct. J.-^Slr Edward Carson,
solicitor gentral, consumed the morn-
Ing session of the Alaskan boundary
commission iodny In endeavoring to
refute tho arguments of David T. Wat
son and Hanuls Taylor, of coupsel for
the United States, especially protest
ing against Mr. Taylor’s contention
that the term "trend of the coast'
could cnly apply to the political coast
lino and not to the physical coast line.
He alio maintained that the principle
of aequlcsence was not applicable to
the present dispute aud somewhat aur-
prised the audience by declaring that
under the powers ot tile treaty ot
1903 tho commissioners bad no author

them and that they could neither lay
down the boundary nor decide what
constituted the coast. All tho com
missioners eould do was to answer
questions submitted to them In the
treaty either negattvoly or affirmative

If they gave certain answers they
might make matters more contused
