Show H 4 The acquittal of the murderer Tillman in South BB Carolina for the assassination of Editor Gon- B , zales is not strange. The Tillman family are H j half civilized. They are, we understand, natur- B ' ;i ally generous and warm-hearted until they are B kAl crossed in some way, then they become wild B jjj? beasts and strike right and left without any more B -J; reason or conscience than so many rattlesnakes. B ,S They care nothing for human life and hold that H jS everything like an insult must be wiped out with B ill) blood. Gonzales was an educated man. That B J2jr was crime enough to incite' general hostility BB To among those half wild beasts; then he dared to B wr write personal articles denouncing this particular H P one of the Cannaille and then appeared on the H b street without being armed. He was killed as all BHj M who know the facts expected him to be. It is the HbT' rule amon5 the people there. The only thing for H Mf decent people to do is to keep out of South Caro- H If Una until a new generation grows up. |
