I COOPER ON THE BENCH? (From the Spartanburg Journal.) The Yorkville Enquirer yesterday published some interesting political gossi# some of which has been go' ing the rormds for a while. i*\ "Some of the politicians are of opinion that it is'Cooper for the Su' preane Court bench at the next des. Bios of the General Assembly* with lieutenant Governor Harvey as his successor. The forecast looks plausible enough at this stage of his proceedings, but time wfll show," says t The Enquirer. i - It will be recalled that there was considerable mention of Governor v'k' ? - "T 1. 1 ! ? A _ II I. ^ VOOpCT OS a aaTK norse mi imtooiw | | '' the long deadlock for the vacant asL. Bociate justiceship of the Supreme Court between Jesse P. Carter, of ? Bamberg; Senator J. Hardin Marion, }. of Chester, and General Milledge L. t Bonham,' of Andeson. In fact, the |;V Governr received some scattering V' votes, bat he gave out a statement & that he was not' a candidate for the I: place* The Legislature cast many 0} ballots in a vain effort to elect and if the'deadlock continues at the, next session pf the Legislature, in all / h-\ prdba/bility a strong "dark horse" IwH be entered. Mention of Governor <Qooper has persisted since the adjournment of the Legslature, al_ though he has had nothing further to say fifcout his position. / ( , ' ' Politicians point out that, were Ic nominated he would probably secure many of the low-county votes ^which are now almost wholly concentrated behind Mr. Carter of Bamberg. The support of the Bamberg Jawyer & said to be based in large ^extent upqn the fact that he is from the lower part of the State, while three of the four present members of the Supreme Court?Chief Justice Gary, of AbbevftUe; Justices Watts, <xf Laurens and Cothran, of Greenville?are from the upper part of the State, Justice Eraser being the only member of the court from the other section of the State. Mr. Car (liter's two opponents, General Bon-] ham and Senator Marion, are upcountry men. If Governor Cooper ^ ehjtaiM be elected to the Supreme v Court, a low-country man, Lieutenant Governor Wilson G. Harvey of . Charleston would become governor for; the unexpired term. Inasmuch as fouT of the five Governors elect< 6d in the last fourteen years have been up-country men, the politicians . argue .that the possible elevation of Mr. Harvey to the Governorship : might cause a decided change in the i aKpunent in the race ifor associate , Justice. If Governor Cooper should be elected to the court he, would have served all but a year of his two ;; terms of two years. Political observed} are of the opinion that Mr. Harvey's friends would rally strongly tp Governor Cooper if he should; (becme a candidate for the, Supreme Comet vacancy, not only because of thefpromotion of the Charleston man flovernorshii). but also be-1 . ? cause he would be put in a stronger j | position as a candidate for election to the Governorship. If Mr. ;; Harvey should become Governor, |v. Senator Alan Johnstone, of New.. berry, now president pro tempore of the Senate would become LieutenBf ' r. ant Governor. Charleston has not . been represented in the Goveraorf; - ship since 1865, when A. G. Magrath \ held office from December to May fli as the last war Governor.

Columbia, Aug. 18.?The state penitentiary today has fourteen socaBed "safe-keepers," the greatest number ever held in the state prison in many a year, it is said. There are prisoners not under penitentiary term sentences, but being held there, under Bpeci&l dispensation, ; as a matter of precaution, to protect them from violence or escape in cases where county jails are not adequate or suitable. In some cases the "safe-keepers" are In for their health. ' Included in this number is s. j. j Kirby, one of the three men charged with killing William 6. Brazell, Co- ' lumbia taxi driver. Another is the 1 negro/James Mark, brought from Florence Monday afternoon and charged with attempted criminal as- ( sault on a 'yung white girl. Still another is Pink 'Griffin in the death cell sentenced to be electrocuted on Sep- 1 tember 2. 4 '' i ' \ ill the death cell with Griffin is ( Edmund Bigham, convicted of the smhrder of his brother, jJmiley, and charged with murdering also his ! mother and: his sisier jand his sister's ' two adopted children. i Another well-known 4,gafe-keep_ er" at1 the penitentiary i3 Thomas B. t 1UT?T anrin: tvf R^rmettRtrille. who is UMVMMM* *M| w ? ^ ? ??- ? , held pending an examination <by psychiatrists following his disappearance from home last year at a time when the bank of which he was president had financial troubles. The lack of state funds for financing the state's part of the/investigation is saift to be holding up this case. The other "safe-keepers" in the prison are held for various charges, ranging from alleged murder down to rolbberies. - \ LEGISLATURE BREAKS GEORGIA RECORD i Atlanta, Aug. 18.?Governor Thos. *** ** 1 -or! W HaraWlCK, SUUICWUai/ ncoucu j from signing bills of the recent legislature looked up when the correspondent of this news service entered his 1 office at the state capitol. ] "The state legislature did not, in , my opinion, do everything that was j right," he declared with a smile, "but it did do better than any legislature ] that has sat in Georgia since the civ- 1 il war and furthermore it broke a " twenty-year precedent by appropri- ! ating less than the state's revenue." The governor made it clear that the credit does not properly belong to him, but belongs to the legislature. ( He said. he was appreciative of the j thoughtful and considerate treatment . accorded his suggestions, but he could < not overlook, the fact that the legis- j *?

"I 1 should have been delighted had it . been possible to finance the state i without the imposition of these bur- i dens, but unfortunately it was im- i possible." The governor expressed the belief that many matters that were sidetracked during the. recent session will be handled next year in a satisfactory manner. He believes that under 1 the revenue laws enacted and the appropriations authorized it will be possible for the state to accumulate a small surplus within the next twelve months, and this surplus can and will be distributed among the State institutions.

While here this week on a visit to 4 his old home, Mr. Frank Harper, of i Lancaster suggested to many of his 1 old 'friends that a reunion of all for- ' mer students of the old Honea Path < High School, who attended during 1 the first ten years the ^school was 4 taught by Prof. J. B. Watkins, be 1 held next year at this place. The sug- i gestion has met with general favor 1 by all with whom we have talked and it is likely that steps will be 1 taken < in the near future Tor arranging for j the reunion. j Prof. Watkins took charge of this il school in September, 1884, and con- < tinued as principal until June, 1894, < when he gave up the work to accept j the position as superintendent of the ] Laurens Graded schools.
