SupremeJCoort to take np the railroad

^w^ta the habeas eWp'as proceedings, is
a gratifying turn to those who desire the
case settled finally, and* to barre thc
settlement made on the merits of the
ease and by tfie court of the highest
.ja risefotroo; We are heartily sick of
iendless, litigation to no purpose. Till

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.

frequently heard, although tbe terra of
the present postmaster does not espire until

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. Take no "just as
Kood^" See that you get th? genuine Dr.
Bull's Cough-Syrup, the peerless specific.

Capital Companies do, and leave a number in
the ashes. All losses must be paid up in full
before any association can disband- Jxi all
the States where this plan- of insurance has
been operated, it has not only proved lo be
cheaper, but lhere is not a case on record
wheie they have ever disbanded or failed lo
p.iy a claim, and that is cohering a period of
twenty years. St is the only company that
positively c*n not break, and the only one
that 'recognizes you as an interested party to
the policy contract. Why should tbe people
of this State pay more than a million-a year
for security ??rauift fire-more than the
losses amount to ? No fire, no pay, is our
