ALL PRAISE FOR HIU
A Country "Doctor" .vltosa ' Deeds ot
Charity illlosg Be Cherished in
- Gratined Uemorj By His
People.
Some men are a fir eat blessing in iheir
day and generation, although the world
does not hear much of their Hchir-vemeutg.
Such a man was the late Dr. J. E. Osborne
who spent nearly fifty years of his life
as a physician in No. 10 towuship, Oleve
land countyand he practiced in all : that
sect ron of the country. He bad a large
and extensive practice and waa an un
usually fine physician, fspecially in the
treatment of typhoid fever, pneumonia and
kidney diseases. , Dr. Osbon.e was greatly
in love with ms profession and he studied
medicine all hia , life, after he first, look
u up. lie aian t preieuu to care lor or
look after bin farm neither did he regard
his owu health and comfort as ought to
be considered. - His was an iron constitu
tion. Few men could endure what be
suffered and iivt to the ripe old age cf 81.
Siek for several months, weak and feeble,
still hia pulse beat strong aua full right on
until two minutes before his death no
quivering, no hesitation, no dieiog away
but strong, regular, healthy, vital to the
end. ' (. '
' Or. Osborne never had the head ache
in his life, and i was the rarest thing in
the world that be ever contracted even
a slight cold, and yet he took no thought
nor care of himself his own health.
Many times he has been known to get up
on a snowy morning and walk right out
barefooted and stay for half an hour,
probably, and come right in. with snow
clodded up between his toes and sit down
to read the newspaper or some book on
medicine, without stoppiug to remov the
the show from his feet.
"Dr. Osborne was well read and was
the' general dispenser of information in all
ins secuoi, ior many years, xie iwya
took many .newspapers and ept fully

Lexington, S. C, Oct. 13. Tillman has
been pronounced "not guilty" by the Lex-1

and the
court waited a while for the appearance of
some others of the state a counsel, but they
did not appear, so the jugde asked rr the
verdict. The foreman handed .the verdict
to tbe judge and he read it "Not Guilty."
Just before announcing the verdict the
judge ordered the sheriff to arrest any one
wno snould make a demonstration.,; ibis
was not heeded, however, since when the
terdict was read the friends of Tillman in

The ludge had a release issued and James

Many rumors about how the jury stood
had been circulated arouud the town j dur

Tillman's Statement.
Jomes H. Tillman after his acquittal, j
made the following statement to the As-1
sociated Press: ul feel very Igtatetul at
the result of the verdict, but at no : time
did l apprentna any serious consequences,
I of course deeply regret the death or uon
zales. but I was forced to do what I did. 1
have neyer apprehended conviction,; for 1
' 1
felt I did no more than I ' any man
would have done under the same circum
stances and what I was compelled to do.
My position was fully su ted in the testi-
monv I cave on the stand. I did ask' for
change of venue, because I was convinced,
on account of prejudice in Richland county
I could not get a fair aud impartial trial in
that county. I felt sure as soon as my case
wmld be presented to an impartial jury I
could be vindicated. IThe verdict justified
the correctuessof my judgment of Lexing-
ton county, selected by tre prosecution. Its
people are law abiding and have long been
noted for correctness of their verdict and
have been praised by the press,?' j
