TILLMAN AND TERRELL
Governor Tillman, of South Caro
lina and lecturer Ben Terrell have
just concluded a little debate on the
sob-treasury bill.
No reporters were admitted, but
enough was heard from without to
show that Tillman believes in fight
ing oat the alliance battle within the
democratic ranks, while Terrell is
for the Ocala platform and in favor
of the third party.
It is said that the Governor got

To day was a dull day in the house.

The fact is that many of the members

business and there was barely a quorum
present.
There was one bill passed which was
of little more than local interest and
that was the bill incorporating the 4th

The bill was introduced by Mr, Woot-

The routine work was the reading of
bouse bills the third time but in view of
the small attendance a motion wasmade
to suspend the rules and read house
bill, a second time, and senate bills for
the first time. This was kept up for
some time until unanimous consent was
asked te let all members having new
hills to introduce, send them to the
clerk’s desk. This was granted, and
about a dozen local hills were sent in,
and read the first time, after which the

A Sensation That Came Near Re

her to make Good her Escape
—A Startling Statement.
A young girl only sixteen years old.
Fleeing from a cruel and abusive hus
band.
That is what created a sensation on
the streets, of Athens last night.
About twelve o’clock loud voices on.
Jackson street indicated that something
was up, and the Banner reporter has
tened to investigate.
He found quite a number of white
men talking in an excited manner, and
vowing if they caught a certain negro
they would hang him.
They Baid that a negro
had been in company with
young white girl about
sixteen years old yesterday afternoon
on the Georgia traip, that be paid her
fare, and when the train arrived in Ath
ens carried her off.
The young girl happened to he in
deep trouble, and later in the night was
found with th8 same negro near the
upper bridge.
They subsequently disappeared and
thes men had been hunting the negro
all night.
The police were seen and the true
facts were obtained.
They did not know the maiden
name of the young girl, but knew
that she came from Joakson county.
They bad been notified of her
being carried off from the
Georgia road train by the negro and
were running him down.
They found tbe negro and the young
girl, and she told them a sad story.
Last March she marriod a man, who
lives in A thens, and whose name com
municated in confidence cannot be pub
lished today.. She ran away from home
in Jackson county and married against
the wishes of her mother.
Her husband has never provided for
her and has frequently abused and
beaten her.
Last Tuesday she determined to make
good her escape, and was sent
off to Decatur by. a friend. She was
placed in charge of a reliable negro,
who went with her.
She came back last night on the Geor
gia train, and this is the way in which
the attention of people in the car was
attracted.

At two o’clock this morning the

Mr. W. U. White is dead.
Early yesterday morning just before
day break, his wife missed him in his
room and began to search for him.
Out under a small shed in the rear
of thehouse her horrified fgaze soon
rested upon the body of her husband as
t hung suspended from the rafters. He
had committed suicide.
The news spreadirapidly and several
neighbors were soon upon the scenes^
The body was cut down and gently re
moved to his house, on the corner of
Jaokson and Washington streets, .where
it was placed upon a bed.
Then came many surmises as to the
manner of his death.
The rope was tied over a rafter and
the deceased had evidently mounted a
tub and then kicked it from nnder him
self.
. Death had resulted from strangula
tion. He was found shortly after the
commission of the deed, and the body
was not cold. Life, however, was ex
tinct, and the well known gentleman
Was dead.
The general opinion seems to be that
the deed was committed by Mr. White
while delirious, and that
it was in no wtfy a
premeditated affair.
For several days, he had been,suffer
ing from an attack of fever and at times
would be violently delirious.
The night before the commission of
the deed, Mr. White’s condition grew
vorse. He was delirious and recog
nized nothing.
Early yesterday morning he. got up
and went out of the room. His wife
soon missed him and wen tout to look
for him, finding his corpse in. the shed
behind the house.
A coroner’s jury was
empanelled to consider the
case, and several witnesses were intro- i-!
duced.
They related all they knew concern
ing Mr. White’s condition of health and
mind, tbe manner in which bis body
was found, and the instruments of death
that he used.
Dr. Goss, who had been attending'
Mr. White, testified before the jury.
He said that Mr. White’s condition
was such that he might have, become
deliriousatany time, and that in suqh a
moment he probably committed the
deed.
He had known Mr. White for many
years and knew him to he a sober man,
of pleasant bearing, and cheerful na
ture.
The jury, in aceordianco with the
above facts returned this verdict:
“We, the coroner’s, jury, have exa
mined the witnesses and find from the
evidence that W. ¥. White came to his #
death by hanging and that he did the
deed with his own. hands, and that the
act was committed during a temporary
tell of insanity.”
,r. White was a native of Madison
county and bis remains will be interred
there today. He leaves a wife and four
children to mourn his death.

A KANSAS SCHEME ;
V
Recently ^Inaugurated That Will Befti
Close Investigation.
Topeka, July 25.—In southern Kan
sas there has been lately inaugurated a
financial scheme that will at least heal
.close investigation. Bond companies
have worked most of the towns and
dtias. The plan is to sell a bobdtd
$1,000 for $10 down and a monthly as
sessment of $1.50 on each member. Aa
fast as there is money enough in the
treasury the holders are paid in the or
der in which the notes were issued and
they drop out. The scheme ia to add so
rapidly to tbe number of members that
no one will at most pay more than $400
or $500. Already a bond-has been paid,
the holder of which hadpaid in bat $20.
He received hfe full $1{000 and dropped
out. The originators of the scheme are
considered honest men and have a belief,
that it will last, bat they do no^seem
to consider where the men comprising
the latter half will gpt their money.
Several prominent men in this city have
been approached, their names being de
sired, but bo far they have refused-to-ao-
cept the bonds, althongh they were .of
fered bonds free r evidently the purpose
being to pay them out in full for adver
tising purposes.
