The State Supreme Court has sustained Attorney General Lyon in his contention for mandamus proceedings against the winding up Commission compelling them to comply with the Act of the legislature with regardto turn ing over certain funds, Judge Pritchard's order to the con trarv notwithstanding. This was a great victory for Mr Lyon and it has deir.onstrated clearly in the minds of the people, that the disparaging comments of the graft-defenders were mostly mal icious, whether emanating from graft newspapers or graft law yers. It has also demonstrated that Mr. Lyon is a lawyer of rare ability, as must be-recognized by the fact that t - remecourt's decree quote v. frim his argument, and . fre4uently the authorities pres6ted by him. Associate Justice Woods de livered the opinion for the unanimous court, and it is a very interesting document, it is not beclouded with phrases not un derstood and technical in char acter, but clear, concise, force ful and appealing to the reason ing mind of a layman. It is not a document that necessitates a council of lawyers to interpret it, is so direct in its application that any man of ordinary con ception of our language under stands it, and this decision will we have no doubt be cited in the courts of the various States as statrdard authority - whenever a federal judge has occasion to atttempt to usurp an author ity not given to him by tbe federal constitution, or whenever he assumes a jurisdiction in mat ters which involve the rights of States. The people of South Carolina made no mistake when they chose J. .Fraser Lyon their attorney general. He is giving his best efforts to do his full duty con scientiously, and when the re cord is fully made up, it will be seen that Mr. Lyon has done more work of practical value to the State than any of his pre decessors. He will round up the grafters, make those liquor concerns that have pilfered the treasury, make restitution, and he will put stripes upon those officials who betrayed their trust, if an honest jury can be obtained 'that will carry out their sworn - duty, to bring a verdict accord ing to the law and the evidence Attorney General Lyon we con gratulate you, and bespeak for you the encouragment of the well-wishers of South Carolina. LYON WAS JUSTLY INDIGNANT. There is a disposition on the part of some to censure Attor ney General Lyon for his com ments on the attitude assumed by Judge Pritchard. They argue that the Attorney General's crit icisms are undignified: this, from an ordinary standpoint may be correct, but it does seem to us, the Attorney General had strong provocation to become indignant, when a snap judgment was taken on him by the judge who fixed, a time to hear argument from the State's legal representative, and in the absence of this officer the day before the time fixed the judge proceeds to appoint receivers to take charge of State property, the very, thing the State's otficer is resisting. Un der such circumstances the At torney General is excusable if he was provoked to indulge in a strung criticism of the court. We are taught to respect the courts and bow to their decrees, but when a court respects not itself and resorts to unfair tactics, it deserves to be condemned, and will be in this free country. At torney General Lyon is giving his best thought in the effort to protect South Carolina from the unholy hands of a gang of van dals, who have in their hire the very best legal talent money can buy, they are unscrupulous, withi them the end justifies the means, and, if to accomplish their purpose to loot the State's treasury they drag South Caro lina down in humiliation, they will gloat with tiendish glee over their success. The Attor ney General realized this, there fore, it is not surpi-ising that his honest and patriotic heart burns with indignation when he knows there are men in this State who have been honored by the people that are, for a few paltry dol lars, giving aid and comfort to a crew of despoilers. While it was well for the mem b ers of the winding up Commis sion to set Dr. W. J. Murray right to keep the record straight, the people of the State appre ciate highly the sacrifices made for the State by Dr. Murray, and they know he is incapable of intentional wrong. T he affairs the State in the hands of such men as Murray. McSween and MERIT WILL WIN. The distinguish Senator from Newberry Hon. Cole L. Blease, announces himself a candidate for governor in the coming pri mary, and if the tone of his in terview is any indication he does not propose to permit the com paign to go along lagging. Mr. Blease has a great many per sonal friends in the State, some of whom howe.ver will not be able to vote for him under pres ent conditions. Those who help ed make Martin F. Ansel gov ernor, will feel duty bound to stick to him unless it can be shown that he has been recreant to his trust, and we do not think Colonel Blease can do this, the most that the Newberry Sena tor can hope for, in our judg ment, is to show that some of Ansel's policies were not wise, and that if he had been governor conditions would be lifferent. There was a time in this State when an appeal to passion was effective, but that time is gone, the people want to know a good reason why a governor should not have a second term. Colonel Blease makes a capital legisla tor, he is ever watchful that par limentary rules are observed. His services in the Senate will be greatly missed by a large por tion of that body, but whenever he makes up his mind there is no use to endeavor to persuade him from his course. He has de termined to make Pie race for governor, and this purpose he took occosion to make known in several speeches at the recent session. We wish we could help him to see that the people have not lost faith in Ansel, and will give him the second term he merits. STA TE oF OH10. CITY OF TOLEDO. LUCAS COUNTY. (s. FAN"K J.

When the Senator entered politics in 1890; he was regarded a man of very moderate means. He saved his salary as Congressman, and with it made protitable investments. Should the State convention make the 'eteemed editor of the News and Cdurier a delegate-at large to the Denver convention, an honor his services to South Carolina merits, it would be imroper.to adopt a resolution instructing the delegates to vote for Bryan. In fact it would be cruel to force this distinguished journalist to vote for a man in whose democracy he has no con idence. The question is frequently asked why it is that the famous Hub Evans has not been indicted along with the other members of the dispensary board of direc tors? We do not know, but it often happens that in matters of this kind there is one man who has more judgment than the others, and sees to it that the records will show his protests against fraudulent transactions, and we are told that such is the case with Hub Evans so far as the records have been made pub lic. Then too, it often happens in criminal prosecutions that a suspected criminal turns out to be an important witness for the prosecution. When the parties charged are brought to trial, it will then be seen whether Evans will sit in the dock or on the witness chair. Senator Tillman delivered one of his hotly seasoned speeches in the Senate last Monday, in which he throws rocks at President Roosevelt. His speech related to the pending currency legisla tion. It is said by the despatches to have been one of the bitterest denunciations ever delivered in the Senate. The Senator is a past master in the art of de nouncing others but very thin hided when the stream of denun ciation is turned upon him. His present attitude on the currency question we are not at present sufficiently informed upon to base an opinion, but we do doubt the wisdom of his ferocious at tack upon the president, but then, it makes good advertising matter and will draw crowds to him when he goes out on his lecture tour during the recess. It amuses us to read the lec tures of the editor of the Bamn berg Herald to newspaper men for accepting political positions or becoming members of the gen eral assembly, and it makes us wonder if the Herald's editor has forgotten that it was not so ong- ago that he was seeking a very importCit place in the very body he is now censuring his brother newspaper men for be ing members of. For the infor mation of the Herald's editor we will state that there are but two newspaper men in the Sen 'ite, and a scrutiny of the record will convince him that neither of these gentlemen have failed to criticise the general assembly when it was necessary, or failed to defend it against unjust criti cism. The recordi will show that the newspaper in the Senate have given to tihe Std: :n im telligent and honest service, a nd that their work vwill compare f-.v orably with the best of the other The blind tiger king W. H. Sellers who killed a State con stable has been released on a $5,000 cash bond. If Sellers would leave the country and the $5,000 be given to his victim's widow, it would be much better than for him to stand trial to get back his money and liberty too. If Hon. Joseph A. McCullough does not now feel in giving up the race for the senate to accept a receivership against the inter ests of his State, that he has dropped the substance for the shadow, let him read again the decision of the State supreme court. It was our sincere opin ion that Mr. McCullough stood an excellent chance of being the next senator, his name was being favorably commented on, but when he accepted that pros pect for a big fee, it eliminated him as a possibility instanter. The Pennsylvania grafters, former State Treasurer, former superintendent of public build ings and grounds, contractor and former Auditor General -vere convicted at Harrisburg last Friday.

The new regulations of the Post office Departnient says unless sub scriptions are expressly renewed af ter the term for which they are paid they shall not be counted in the list of legitimate subscribers, and copies mailed on account thereof shall not be accepted at the second class postage rate of one cent a pound, but way be mailed at the transient second class postage rate of one cent for each four ohnces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed. THE TIMES has been very lenient with its subscribers. Some of them are several years behind, but the pa per is still being sent to them. This policy will now have to be changed, as the postoffice department says all papers not paid for cannot be sent through the mail free within the county as heretofore, but will have to be fully prepaid with stamps affixed. We cannot afford to pay thb postage that would be charged and paste stamps on papers of those that are in arrears, as it would cost us more than we would get from such subscribers. We will be compelled to drop the names of all subscribers who do not pay up by the first of April, which is the limit set by the Postoffice De partment. We would advise sub scribers to come or send ii and ar range the matter at once before the rush sets in. We have no option in the matter, but mast obey orders Qf the Postoffice Department, and we hope we will have the cooperation of all. Look at your label and see how you stand.
