In summer-time, more especially,
disease germs fill the air, multitudes
are infected, fall ill, die ; multitudes
escape. These messengers ol
mischief do not exist for millions. Why
not ? Because they arc healthy and strong

shot. It is the weak, the wasted, the
thin-blooded who fall ; those who
have no resistive power so that a sudden
couph or cold develops into graver
disease. We hear of catching disease!
Why not catch health ? We can do i(
by always maintaining our healthy

AGRICULTURAL HAIL CM
DISCUSSED HY SENATOR
TILLMAN.
Maintains That the State Musi
Hold on to the Property in
.Order to Keep the Rhie
Ridge Script out of

Now, in regard to the Agricul
tural Hall matter. I presume t<
offer advice because 1 am solely
responsible for the State's atti
f iiiIp it? I lia ii'io/i .,...1 Cull
in vnv vaijv* aim H"ii, ill till
time I took action and feel still
tliat it was the only prope
course to pursue. 1 have seen tlx
full text of the decision of tlx
Supreme Court, and speak ii
full knowledge of its import. Tlx
situation is this: Mr.Tindallcan
not deliver the property if Ix
wanted to. 1 cannot believe tha
vSimonton or any other judicia
tyrant will undertake to take tlx
building by force from the pres
ent State oflicers. If they do, thei
the act of disposessing the Stati
t will in tho minds of fair mindei
persons show the falsity of tlx
decree that it is not a suit agains
the State. The whole fight hinge:
on the possession of the building
4 and so long as the State can hob
that, it must retain t he advantage
Once Wesley and his attorney
get possession, with or withou
(he consent of the Stale, the sit
nation will become very grave
It the Stjito surrenders the prop
ertv. then it must either sue 01
the mortgage for the pay men

the Blue Ridge bond script. If i
sues, then the questisn of tlu
vitality o( the tender of that scrip
must be determined by the I'ni
ted States Supreme Court am
the legality of the Blue Ridg*
bonds be settled by that tribunal
Judge llarlan goes into this
phase of the question very fully
Attorney Lyles in his tcslimon>
, ( before the court and in his state
ment now in the newspaper:
clearly sets forth the conspiracy
bv which the Blue Ridire brow
--
script is to he brought bei'on
the court for judicial derermina
tion. The Judge declares thu
^ Wesley has a right to do (his
Then, with a lot of legal jargor
which only confuses the ouestion
1
because it is in no sense an anal]
ogous case to that of (ieneral
Lee's suit for Arlington, he declares
that it is not a suit against
the State, although the whole
i question at issu.3 is one atl'ecting
the legality of the repudiated
bonds, and not the title to the
Agricultural Ilall at all. His purpose
is to have the State herself
, declare the bonds valid by not
suing on the mortgage or force
1 her into court on a suit which
! will almost inevitably determine
their validity. He would thus aei
I
complish by indirection what
' cannot be done directly, lor Wesley
has already had one suit on ^
these bonds thrown out on the]
! ground that it was a suit against
I the State. With bitter irony he I
;| concludes his opinion in those
words: "It is said that the judg '
' inent in this case niov conclude'
!
the State." Not so. It is a judg
! ment to the eilect only that, as j
between the plaint ill' and do
fendants, the former is entitled to
possession of the property in
, question, the latter having shown
no valid authority to withhold the
possession from the plaint ill*: that
the assertion by the defendants
of a right to remain in possession
I is without legal foundation. The
State not being a party to the
suit, the judgment will not conclude
it. Not having submitted
its rights to the determination of
the court in this case, it will be
open to the State to bring any
action that way be appropriate to
establish and protect whatever
_: fi.i i - *
ciium 11 nas 10 tne promises in
dispute. Its claim, if it means to
' assert one, will thus he brought
r
to the test of the law as udminisg
tered by tribunals ordained to
determine controverted rights of
property; and the record in this
case will not be evidence against
it for any purpose touching the
merits of the claim,
t .
I If this were only a suit for the
possession of the Agriculture Hall,
there would be no controversy,
for the State would never have
I
held the properly and refused to
j deliver it but for the conspiracy
and fraud which was divulged by
t the tender of the bond script* If
s the State takes 1 hat course, then
it voluntarily enters tin? Federal
j courts ultimately and asks for the
validity of the bonds to be passed
, upon. The situation leaves the I
. State but one course ; force them
t
to dispossess its officers who are
i not parties to the suit, to put I
Wesley in possession or hold thej
( property and thus protect litigat
lion until Wesley and his speculating
attorney i 1 suppose Lyles
( is working on a contingent fee)
I shall be tired out. If the State
is dispossessed by force, then the
j sophistry and falsity as to its be
. jing no suit against the State is
j proveff, and we will occupy a
, better position after this judicial
j tyranny is practiced upon us than
^ to bo dragged into tlio court in
this underhanded and unconsti
. i tutional way.
In less the,court was to go to
r the extreme of dispossessing the
. present State ollieers, who are no
^ way connected with Mr. Tindal
f and do not hold from or under
' | i
I him. the oidy thing that need
i give us any concern is the settle
ment of Mr. 'J'indul's bond. This,
t of course, the State is in honor
. bound to pay- But if it can hold
i possession of the property and
, thus get around the odium and
I
danger of having the highest
court in the I'nited States pass
upon the repudiated radical bonds
held ov Mr. Wesley, the taxpay- 1
ers of the State may well congrat- ]
ulate themselves. There is an old '
legal maxim that possession is !
nine points of the law, and in this
case it is ten points, because as
long as we retain possession we '
retain everything, while the stir- ]
render of the property carries
with it loss of everything, or a '
serious risk of losing it, for 1 firm ,
ly believe that these Judges, who
have been so uniform in sustaining
Judge Sinmnton's interference
with the State government,
will take pleasure in putting one
more stigma upon South Ourolina,
and give one more blow to
her sovereighty. Then if this
script is validated our State, debt
will be increased to that amount,
as the script would be good in
buying the Agricultural Hall.
In view of these facts (and
anybody is at liberty to pick llaws
in the argument if they can). I
leave to the people of the Stale
to .judge hot ween my enemies and
me. -The 1 told you so" crowd,
who have "known all along that
the State would lose and the taxpayers
would sud'er for Tillman's
desire to advertise himself,'* may
explain if they can how else the
question ot the validity of the
Blue Ridge script by the I'nited
States Supreme Court could have
been prevented. B. R. Tim.max.
