Till .man bas already cost the State more in the way cf lawyers** fees and like ex? penses than any two of his predecessors as? ii he were left alone there is- a-o knowing what sum hs would spend before be should grow weary of advertising himself Attorney General Townsend has confessed that it was a great sor.prse to them- when they learned that the Supreme Court bad decided to hear the- case and decide on- ito merits. The Baltimore Syndicate has taken the remainder of the new issue of 4? per cent, bonds, and we are all glhd to {learn of the consummation of the deal. The taxpayers would have bsen much better pleased if Grov. Ti ll m an- and Treasuser Bates bad not paid such a big commission, ?130,000, to the com? mission. Gov. Tillman is pl am in g himself like a varn-glorious peacock a lovely peacock he is too-because he has succeeded io placing the bonds, ; but we ees- H trie that he has- to be proud ;of, except fchet he was able to place them at all. Anybody but Tillman or 'hts followers would have doue as well, if not a great deal better, and the latter is thc most probable. Congressman Latimer,. ts said to have proposed- i-n all innocent earnestness : that the Congressional delegation from this- State-, as a unit recomm end the appointment cf one Tillmaui'te and-one ;Straightoat to each office in the State and that they divide the salary equally. What vagary shall we have next ? 1 While he was imagining foolish things 'he may a* well have suggested that the delegation* rccom-mend the appointment of a Ti ll man it a, a- S-traightout and a Third Partake t&each office, the salary to-be shaod equally. The "Reform** fac? tion: would have thus obtained two shares of t>he plander-what they are after aod had ? majority-the thing they say their prayers to-io each office. One plan is as feasible and sensible as the other,, and the latter is mora Till maoesque in conception.. LIGHTNING STB?KES BUT ONCE IN A PLACE. It is an old saying that Ughtniag strides but once rn a place, and while all'know that this is not literally true, yet it approximates thc facts. We have no- dou-bt but thut man j thousand of those who held offibe under Presi? dent Cleveland from *84 to '88, and are now seeking re-appoiotmeat and relying upon their o?bial record as the Btrongest recommendation, have thought of this old eayiag siced Cleveland announced that none cf his eft! appoin? tees need apply, as they wou-ld not be i re-appointed, one term, being deemed snSbient for one man. But as the office banter is-a sanguine creature, the majority of them continue to pu?b their applications, each oce belrevH.-g tliat he is one of thc notable and extraordinary sxceptioss- that President Cleveland said there you'd be **> the rufe. Fresid?ct Cleveland's declaration. however, must hare certainly created j. I doubts io tbs minds of- many where all j was certaiuty and eereuity, and brought ! hope- to many others who were fearing j the records of the old office holders.. f. We are a nation of office haulers, and we now see the oation standing up with beads bared, waiting for the lightning to strike, those who have been once struck, mixing indiscriminately, with Sturdy, aoblastad timber.

On' Thursday afternoon the Grand J^ury, having concluded the work ot the term, mude their presentment and were discharged. The presentment will be published next week; M?: Willie M. Cooper was tried on last Fri? day for tfee killing of Albert Montgomery, cofored'. Oww>g to the youthfulness of the accused and'his general popularity the trial drew a large crowd to the court house. The jury was quickly secured and th' trial which lasted but one day resulted in a erdici of acquittal. Solicitor Wilson represented the Sute and M-r. Cooper was represented by Mr. R. O. Phrdy. Seven witnesses were examined by the State. Dr. Archie China- testified to the fact that Albert Montgomery was a large strong man, and that be died from a pistol shot wound. Dr. W. J. Dunn corroborated the testimony of Dr. China. Johnson Wilson testified that Montgomery was Having" cotton ginned- and that he- was getting the moats from under the gin when Willie Cooper. otj?cted; heard Montgomery say he had a right to the moats. Heard noth? ing else before be heard* the shooting. John Charles and Emanuel Carter1* testi? mony WHS similar to Wilson's". Wilson Montgomery, brother of the de? ceased, testified that bis brother had declared that he was shot for nothing, and that he wanted to make a statement. Peter Fleming testified that he saw deceased daring bis illness and- that deceased told him Willie Cooper shot him for nothing, just be caused he wanted to get hie moats-. The State then closed and W. M. Cooper, j the defendant, was put upon the stand. Mr. Cooper does not look to be over eigh? teen, is quite slender and bas a very pleasant countenance. He testified as follows: Was in charge of my brother's gin bouse. Found deceased under gin getting moat? I told him to leave the moats alone He said he intended to have them. I then went into aroom andffot my brother's pistol. Deceased asked me if I got the pistol to shoot him with. I told him nor but I got the pistol to make him go out of the gin house. I told him to go out but he refuged to do so, saying he intended to have satisfaction. He ru3hed on me when I caught him by one arm and pushed'hita away. Hs walked off and turned to come on me when I shot him to dffend myself. The deceased bad a bad reput ion fbr turbulence and violence Deceased was very close to- rue when I shot. Clothes caught Soe from the pistol-. ? did not see ieceas^d ba-w anything in his hand when he came at me. He was very insulting-in his manner trwards roe when talking about the moats, ned said he intended to have them. Other witnesses were put upon the stand who testified to the general good' character of foe defendant and to the quarrelsome charac? ter of the deceased. Beware of imitatious.
