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.

| '' 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.

FOURTEEN SAFEKEEPERS
j NOW IN PENITENTIAY

Share Alik* in Duath Call.
Record Number.
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.

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
*? J:J 4.1,? i
lature ana not xne governur uiu tuc I j
work of which (the people of the state j
as he expressed it, "Are so justly j
proud." ]
Governor Hardwick made mention ]
of certain levies on business. "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.

SUGGESTS REUNION
Would Hm Former Student* of ]
Hon ml Path School Meet.
Honea Path Chronicle.
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. During the *
* i- -t? .i H
Dime ne was in cuargc ui uav o^uwi i
hundreds of boys and girls from An- i
ierson, Abbeville, Laurens,' Greenrille
and Edgefield counties came ]
here as boarding pupils and many of ]
them are yet alive. They are scat- <
tered now in many of the states but ?
will be glad to once more visit the ,
>ld town. ,j
Nothing, in ou<r opinion, has done i
more for the placing of Honea Pr.th y
>n the map than the work of the old 1
Sonea Path High school. If you <
meet one of the old students of this t
u?hnrt1 he will have a kind word to f
jay for the town and will express a I ]
iesire to come * buclc some time. 1
rhese boys and girls, now old men
md women, will welcome the oppoir- (
;unity to "come baclt home" once! \
nore, and it will be a joyous re-U
mion. t i
i I
Let us have an expression from s
pou if you are one of the number, t
\nd when you write, tell us whqfce s
are can reach some one else. No one i
would feel a greater pleasure from c
lucha reunion than Prof. Watkins. t

the following true story by an AM

"My father was once plowing in

"As he drove to the end of a rc

Senator Lodge did not express his
views in regard to publicity, hot he
did assert that in the negortaiona
over disarmament itself he would
hold to the principle that the only
solution was a "general disarmament."
He declared no one would
work more earnestly for disarmament
than he, but that he would hold
to an unshaken conviction that to in %
sure success there must fee "general ,
reductions" all along the line.
