We call attention TO the following ex-
tract taken from the Asheyille Citizen
in regard to that delightful resort, the
Oakland Heights Sanatorium of which
Miss Emily Vaughan, of New York is
the manager:
"While Oakland Heights Sanatorum
is hotel, it proposes to be more than
that 1t will, on account Of its being re-
moved from the city, insure absolute
qpiet to its guests, the nature of whose
ailments requires rest and quiet. 1t is
intended to make the house a large
home, and the visitors and patients
members OF the household, to bring
them together and thus enable every
one to enjoy as nearly as possible all
the comforts which they could find at
their homes.
While the rules Of the house will not
be rigid, yet regularity will be insisted
on, especially in the case of invalids. In
short il will meet the wants of that class
Of health anl pleasure seekers who de-
sire rest, away from the noises incident
to life in hotel IN the city. There will
be closing hour at night, after which
time 20 loud noises are allowed in the
| building, and guests are assured peace
| fui slumber.
1t is the intention Of Miss Vaughan te
make the Oakland Heights sanatoriuu
one Of the foremost institutions of th'
South, and it will certainly take tina
rank if good management, excellent 10
cation, unsurpassed views, and pur
healthful air can contribute to that end.

Soaped the Horn.

In the old days Of camp meetings
horn was blown to wake the congrega-
ton in the morning. The instrument
hung near She stand, and was generally
sounded by some OF the reverend
brethren.
Of course, a camp meeting is great
place for practical jokes, and one to
this effect was played on brother at
Bear Spring before the war.
A rascally fellow filled the horn with
soft soap. Brother 4 and B went
down to the arbor socn in the morning
to sound the horn. Brother A took
it, and standing in front Of Brother
B, proceeded to blow blast. or
course, Brother BIS slick face was
sicklied all over with the pale coat of
soft soap. AS soon as he could pre-
vent strangulation, he spoke out some
thing to this effect: II have been a
Methodist preacher for ffty-fve years.
In all that time I have never sworn an
oath but I'll just be conessentially
smothered if l can't whip the fellow
that soaped that horn"

CooSAW SCORES ANOTHER POINT.
The State Knocked Out by Judge Norten,
and the Case il Removed to the Fed
eral Court.-Protracted Litigation
Now the Order.
Especial to The State.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 2S.-Judge
Norton, in the court Of Common Pleas
at Beaufort, accepted the petition OF
the Coosaw Company and rendered a
decision that the case was properly re-
moved into the United States Court,
The effect of this decision will be, it is
said, to tie the case up in the court for
about three years. Litigation will
now proceed in the United States
Courts without further interruption
from the State court.
The followingare the essential clauses
of the decision:
1.-THE question before me is whether
it is the duty Of this court now to ac-
cept said petition and bond and pro-
ceed no further in the action. 1t is
agreed that it is, if federal question
is involved, which must be determined
by this court for itself.n
defendants in their petition allege
that they have perpetual lease from
the State, the plaintiff here, for certain
property, IA contract), and that the
State claims to reserve possession of
said property by virtue of an act of her
Legislature, which is void, because it
impairs the obligation of its lease (con-
tract)."
plaintiffs object, first, that It relies
on the invalidity Of the lease, and not
its repeal; second, that the test under
the act of 1887 is whether, if its COM
plant lad been filed in the United
States circuit court, that court could
have retained jurisdiction against the
wish Of the defendants. In the act of
1875 the removal is authorized in any
case arising under the Constitution Of
the United States. That the act Of 1887
is intended to restrict removals does
not change the we'll established judi
cial Interpretation of words transferred
from former act, unless the contest
shows an intention so to do"
ave have already seen that the con-
tract supposed to show such intention
does not do so. It is therefore the duty
of the court to accept the said petition
and bond and proceed no further here
in."
"Wherefore, it is ordered, adjudged
and decreed that the petition filed by
the defendant in this action on 30th
March, A. D. 1891, for the removal of
this action to the United States Circuit
Court for the District of South Carroll
na, and the bond Herewith filed, be-,
and the same are hereby, accepted,
and that this court do proceed no fur
ther in this suit"

What Is q Billion Dollars.

The Mercantile and Financial Times
has taken the trouble to give detailed
account of what is meant by the state
ment that the last congress expended
$1,000, 100000, This a round sum and
a large one, but it is so easily said that
the words which express it do not
convey to the mind any adequate idea
Of the vastness of the amount. For
this reason, the Times picks it to
pieces and presents it in various lights.
Exclusive Of interest-$1, 900, ,0OO, 900
the amount which the Republican
Congress has expended, would give
5,4Sl families of four persons $40 week
for fifty years. If loaned out a 6 per
cent. it would give return Of $50,
100000 a year. One billion dollars in
silver would weigh nearly $4,000, 900
pounds.
It would buy gowns for all the wo-
men in this civilized world and shoes
for 5O,OOO,OOO homeless children. 1t
would pay for the education of 25O,OoO
children from the kindergarten through
college, and city lot apiece for So
100000 persons.
If a man with this immense sum de-
sired to throw it away 81 at time, be
would be in trouble. His task would
keep him busy 42S years. If be were
to attempt to burn s1,ooo,ooo,ooo in
paper money, 50 at time, he would
complete his tasS, by working night
and day, at the end of Il, $40 years.
These figures show what the Reed
and Harrison Congress has done for
the Taxpayers.

a name given in derision, as it was
thought to be a base ore of copper.
Dime, from the French disme, which
is from the Latin decinaus, the tenth.
The Dollar, from the German 7haler,
derived from Tjaol, a valley, from Joa-

were first coined in 1913. Gold coins
are legal tenders for all sums; the sill

sums not exceeding five dollars.
The dollar sign. (s) is not a mono
gram of ~. S." but dates from the
days when the transfer was made from
Spanish to American dollars, and ac-
counts were kept equally in dollars
and reals. Thus: one dollar eight
reals (American and Spaish parellel ae-
counts). Later the 8 was placed be
tween the cancellation mark ISI; then
the perpendicular lines crossed the 8,
and finally the 8 shaded into an S,
and, combined with the cancellation
line, evolved the present sign 81.

said that twenty-5even years ago to-day
we were running from the foul invader
as fast as our good horse and rock
away could carry US. "Just about this
time," said she, "we were hurrying
across Euharlee bridge and I trembled
all over for fear it would break in two,
for it vibrated up and down to old
Buckner's heavy trot, but You never
slackened up a bit, and we fairly flew
through old Van Vert, and too5 the
mountain road until we got to Mr..
"Yes," said I, ''and we stayed sll
night there, and they did the best they
could for all the runnagees, Int they
dident have room for the men folks.
and We slept outdoors under the wagon
shed, and the fleas kept US so lively
that we got up in the night and run
through the bushes to brush them of,
just like cattle do when the flies are
after them"
"And the next morning about day
light, "said she, ''the news came that the
yankees were coming, and we started
up that long mountain, and it did seem
to me that we never would get to the
top. 1t must have been three or four
miles up, and we felt pretty safe then
and stopped awhile to rest, and then
we scooted away to Dallas and rested
there for dinner. and that night we
camped out somewhere near Powder
Springs. The wagon and our tent and
baggage kept up pretty well, bat we
found out we dident have anything to
cook in except a copper pot"
"Yes, remember" said I, "and we
sent Tip off to a little farm house to
borrow a skillet, and he came back
without it and said the old woman told
him the old man was washin, his feet
in it, and we would have to wait until
be got through. She said his feet had
sores on 'em, and the dishwater was
powerful good for sores. Tip tried an
other place andgot skillet that wasn't
so popular"
"And next morning." said Mrs. Arp,

house, and the we'll was in the yard,
and it was locked with g chain and

have drop, and you gave the woman

it was just awful"

about seven children then"
"Yes," said she, with sigh, "poor
little half-starved things"
"Why, they enjoyed it," said l.
'1'hey thought it was big frolic, and
that We were running race with Joe

to Atlanta"

wife, looking at her earnestly, "a little
