Mr- A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:—This Is to certify that on Au
gust 1st I went to Verbena, Ala., to hold a
series of meetings. Was at that time, and
had been for six weeks prior, so feeble I was
scarcely able to preach. Mr. F. A. Gulledge,
of Verbena, with whosejfamily I was stop
ping, kindly offered me three bottles of
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, gratis. I
accepted, and began the use of the Tonic at
once. Within three weeks 1 was was much
better. In three weeks I had taken the
three bottles of Tonic and was fully well.
Took no other medicine then nor since, and
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years.

Lexington, S. C, Oct 7.—The trial
| of James H. TUiman was resumed to
day, the juror, Milton Sharpe,, who baa
been sick, having Improved sufficient
11/ to permit him to be In court. .
Tre state rested without the Intro
duction of further testimony and the
defense entered at once upon the pre-
[ aentatlon of Its case.
Counsel for the defendant first re
newed the motion made early In the
trial that the court Instructed the jury
to disregard all testimony given by
witnesses for the state showing a
[ weapon In the poesetslon ot the defen
dant prior to the ehootlng. The court
ruled the testimony to t>o competent.
Editorials from TYe Columbia State
referring to the defendant were read
by counsel for the defense and offer
ed In evidence. The court In ruling
upon a point In controversy stated to
Ihe Jury that the purpose tor which
tto editorials were being read to the
Jury was to show the feelings that ex
isted between the deferiftant and N. 0
Oonzales.
The first witness called by the de
fense wta T. D. Mitchell, who lived In
Columbia, In 1902. He testified that
he had a conversation with N. O.
Oonzales, relative to J. H. Tillman, re
citing what he stated Oonzales said
concerning the defendant. The wit
ness said, among other things:
"He said I can slap his face and he
would not resent it, and he said If he
ever bats his eyes at me I’ll fill him so
full of lead that he will never tot- It
sff."
The witness said that he subsequent
ly told Mr. Tillman what be atated Mr.
Gonzales said to him. On cross-ex
amlnailon ho said he forced the oon
versatlon on Mr. Oonzales.
A. K. Flowers, who formerly was
a street car conduotor In Columbia,
tostlfied that during the summer of
1902, Mr. Oonzales and three other
men were riding on bis car. He said
that while he was collecting fares they
were discussing politics and that he
heard Mr. Oonzales say If Mr. Till
man was elected, he never would be
zeated. Witness added that he heard
Mr. Oonzales say he would "kill the
rascal."
On cross-examination witness said
he had not told of this until two
months ago, and said that he first
wrote It to the dcfondanL
P. W. Hughes, of Warrenton, stated
ths he and some other .men, naming
them, met Mr. Oonzales on Main
| street in Columbia, during the cam
paign of 1902. Witness said he ashed
Mr. Oonzales at that tlmo If he d:
not think he was doing Mr. Tillman a
great Injustice and that Ur. Ooacales
replied that he would do greater In
justice after election, “and It ought to
ho lead."

Sometimes we are greeted In the
morning by flags at half-mast for some
prominent official who yesterday
was apparently in perfect health.
When we inquire the ailment by
which he was stricken it is not un
common to be told "acute indiges
tion ” or "stomach trouble.”
It is time people learned that in
digestion or any form of
"stomach trouble” is not a
thing to trifle with. The
result may not be fatal,
but there can be no
condition of diseased

Elliott's struggles were so fierce,
however, that ths two officers In the
ertmped quarters of the van were un-
able to overcome him. Officer Oris-
sal then drew his revolver and fired
two Bhots to attract attention.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone and Of
