COLUMBIA S C In the shadow of
the South Carolina state house the
lieutenant governor James H Till
man shot and probably mortally
wounded Narcisso Gonzales founder
and editor of the Columbia State a
newspaper which has since its incep
tion bitterly opposed the Tillman fac
tion in South Carolina politics
The two men have been sworn ene
mies for some years and Tillmans
animosity was accentuated by Gon
zales pronounced editorial opposition
to him as a candidate for the nomina
tion during last falls primary In that
connection Gonzales made an editorial
reference to Tillman as a liar scoun
drel arid a debauchee A challenge to
a duel followed but Gonzales ignored
iL
It is rumored that the immediate
cause of the attack was a message sent
by Gonzales to Tillman At the Colum
bia hotel Tillman said to a group of
his friends
Gonzales has sent me word that
when we meet again we shall settle
our difficulty with pistols
Gonzales friends deny that he sent
a message of any character to Till
man Statements of eye witnesses to
the tragedy are somewhat conflicting
and it cannot be stated positively
whether or not any words passed be
tween the men before the shot was
fired
The condition of the wounded man
is regarded by the surgeons as criti
cal Tillman was arrested and is con
fined in the county jail pending the
outcome The affair caused great ex
citement in the city which is filled
with politicians who are here to par
ticipate in the inauguration of the new
state governor Lieutenant Governor
Tillmans term will expire within a
few days
Editor Gonzales was on his way to
dinner from his office when he met
Mr Tillman Mr Tillman was ac
companied by two state senators
It is said not a word was spoken
as the editor and the lieutenant gov
ernor met face to face Tillman in
stantly drew a revolver it is said by
eye witnesses and placing it close to
the body of Gonzales fired without a
word bing spoken
Gonzales staggered and then catch
ing his balance turned toward the
man who had shot him Tillman had
the smoking revolver in his hand with
the muzzle pointed at the wounded
man
Coward shouted Gonzales as he
was caught by parties who had rushed
to his assistance
Lieutenant Governor Tillman was
immediately placed under arrest and
Mr Gonzales was hurriedly carried to
the office of the Columbia State where
medical aid was summoned
Mr Gonzales declares he has given
no recent offense for the shooting

A Struggle for Life
Eagle River Mo Jan 19th Maggie
E Decker a hard working woman 49
years of age whose home is here has
just gone through a thrilling battle for
her life Many another would have
lain down and died for for twelve long
years she has suffered the most awful
pains
She hed Kidney Trouble and Rheu
matism combined with a very dis
tressing stomach trouble At last she
got so bad that she could not sleep
for she ached all over and was so
lame that she could scarcely walk
She spent over a hundred dollars in
different medicines but only to be dis
appointed for everything failed to help
her
At last however just when she was
beginning to despair of ever finding a
remedy she heard of Dodds Kidney
Pills and bought six boxes She says
Now I can eat well sleep well and
am feeling splendid God bless Dodds
Kidney Pills for they saved my life
My troubles were many but Dodds
Kidney Pills cured me completely
But for them I surely would have
died
Admittedly there is no standard of
greatness hence the difficulty of decid
ing who are the truly great
