Into the new silver party being

abiding faith in the financial policy
of the great Republican party and
they are willing to wait until the Na

and formulates a policy 4hat will
give relief and restore prosperity to
the oountry.: They are not gold-bugs
but bl-metalists.
"In the Interest of perfecting re
forms and securing good government

Tomlinson Says He Wil

-

Pereeouted Robbery Happened
' Over a Year Ago.
The ease against Percy Tomllnion
it said to be prompted by malicious
ill-will for the entire family. There
seems to be some truth in this
statements, Recently tila bratberr4
J,"v . Tomunaon, was prosecuted by
malicious persons on a false charge.
The oharga y gainst this young man
is over a yeatold and Is brought by
persons w ho would not di vulge their
names. While there is sufficient evi
dsnoe now before Commissioner
Koyster and the postoffloe authori
ties to old young Tomlinson, it is
thought that he will be able on Tues
day to clearly establish his inno-
oenoe.
While the family Is well oonneoted
on the Wilson side, the Tomlinsonsl
are some of the best people in that
section, Mr. J. M. TomM ja, father
of the boy's father. v'.dsented John
ston county In Legislature eigh
teen times, or a total of thirty-six
years, r ossibly no other man was
for so long a time a representative
in the General Assembly.
The evldanoe yesterday was not so
'Clinching aa had been stated. Mr
John Holt the man who mailed the
letter and the pnncipal witness, Is 79
years old. Hia memoiy is failing,
but he is honest as the days are long.
Col. Argo, oounsel for the defence
weakened his testimony. Mr. Holt
stated that before mailing the letter
he laid the bill on a shelf and turned
around to do some writing. He
aiterwards put a check in the letter,
the amount of whioh he did not
know. He said he put the five dollar
bill in also. He could not remember
when he scaled It. He said young
Tomlinson had come lu the store. It
was no uuopmmon thing, for be
comes in every day, said Mr. Tom
linson. He said a young man named
Heath came to "him and wanted the
bill changed. He stated that he reo
ognized the bid as being the one be
had mailed- - It was faded, torn in
two corners and rumpled on one end.
Mr. Holt said that this was evidence
to himself that it was the original bill
He said that Mr. TJzzle had, in 00m-
pany with Tomlinson, offered to
compromise the matter by refunding
the 85.
Col. Argo, on cross examination,
proved from Mr. Holt's own testi
mony that bis memory was failing.
He often goes to sleep in his store
with everything open ; sometimes
goes home and leaves his store wide
open, and onoe aoonsed two negroes
of stealing a rope, when two pigs ran
away with it When questioned as
to his sight Mr. Holt said that he
could see a red bug on his hand and
small straws in the tops of trees.
Col. Argo never asked any further
questions about his eyesight
L. A. Wilson, the postoffloe clerk,
testified that be was in the poetefflce
during the day and that the letter
box was looked hearty all the time;
said Tomlinson borrowed some mu
soilage on that day; he did not see
him use it - .i.';.
Mr. C. W. Home, a bob of Ashley
Home, said that he reoetoed the let
ter and the money was missing. He
was walking along the street when he
opeued it and it might have dropped
it The envelope In whioh the check
came was lost . 1 1
Mr. Utile, the postmaster, was not
at the postoffloe at the time. He said
that be had never made any propo
sition to Mr. Holt about a oompro.
miss or about refunding any money.
He stated that Mr. Holt waa mis
taken. . , ..
This morning Mr Heath, the wit
nesa who gave the bill to Mr. Holt to
be changed, took tha stand. He said
that he got the bill from Percy Tom
linson on the day in J uly in exchange
tor a cart He said that young Tom
llnsbn bad come to him with the bill
somewhere about nine o'clock that
morning. Heath said that Tomlln
son told him that he got the Mil from
a negro tramp the day before in ex
change for a pistol. ,;:i, f
This completed the .State's evi
dence. The case was postponed until
Tuesday evening at ft o'olook, when
the defence will produce their evit

HELD FOR BIGAMY.
Henry Parrish of S. C Arrested and
Jailed at Aeherille. t
Governor Can wag today notified
by Frank Carter, Esq , of Asheyille,
of the arrest and detention in jail
there of Henry ' Parrish, a fugitive
from justice from South Carolina.
The Governor of South Carollaa has
been notified of Parrish's arrest
Some month's ago Parrish married
a Miss Maggie Bailey, of Rpartaus-
burg. Soon after the wedding, the
bride discovered that she had been
made the victim of a big mist Par
rish having another wife living at
the time of the marriage. When
Parrish saw that the game was up,
be fled the State.
The brjdy people thm amployed
adeteetive named "J. H. Hampton,
who has been following close on the
trail of the alleged bigamist He
located his man a day or so ago in
Asheville, and It was on a warrant
sworn out by him that Parrish waa
arrested. He will probably be sent
to South Carolina in a few days.
A reporter learns that the family
of bride no. S is an excellent one and
that much indignation is felt at
Spartansburg over the case. Under
the circumstances it Is very likely
that Parrish will get a long term in
the South Carolina penitentiary.
The Decision Not Rendered.
Since Court has adjourned and for
some time before those interested In
the mandamus suit tooompel Treas
urer Worth to pay the Hoola-boom
warrants, have been on the ragged
edge, a waiting a decision.
Judge Coble wdayitald a reporter
that he had, Awet rendered A de
cision. He did not hold out any hope
that it would oome soon.
Mr. Thos. Purnell Is not greatly
pleased with the wait. He wishes
to hve the case settled and says
that a deoision should be made at
once. He is said to have politely in
timated to His Honor that it mat
tered not a rap to bim what his
deoision might be; that he put his
faith in tbe Supreme Court.
In the meantime Worth has the
