Soaped the Horn.

In the old days Of camp meetings a
horn was blown to wake the congrega-
ton in the morning. The instrument
hung near the stand, and was generally
sounded by some Of the reverend
brethren.
Of course, 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 A and B went
down to the arbor soon in the morning
to sound the horn. Brother A took
it, and standing in front Of Brother
B, proceeded to blow q blast. OF
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
Methodist preacher for fifty-five years.
In all that time I have never sworn an
oath but I'll just be conessentially
if I can't whip the fellow
that soaped that horn"

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
81, 200, 100000, This 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 varions lights.
Exclusive of interest-S1. 900, ,000, 900
the amount which the Republican
Congress has expended, would give
5,4s1 families of four persons $40 week
for fifty years. If loaned out q s per
cent. it would give return Of $780,
100000 a year. One billion dollars in
silver would weigh nearly 5O,0O0,0O0
pounds.
1t would buy gowns for all the wo-
men in this civilized world and shoes
for 100000 homeless children. 1t
would pay for the education of $4,000
children from the kindergarten through
college, and a city lot apiece for 50,-
100000 persons. .
If man with this immense sum de-
sired to throw it away 81 at time. he
would be in trouble. His task would
keep him busy 42s years. If he were
to attempt to burn sl,0O0,OoO,0OO in
paper money, 81 at time, he would
complete his task, by working night
and day, at the end Of u, $40 years.
These figures show what the Reed
and Harrison Congress has done for
the Taxpayers.

CoosAW SCORES ANOTHER POINT.
The State Knocked Out by Judge Norten,
and the Case 10 Removed TO the Fed
eral Court.-Protracted Litigation
Now the Order.
Especial to The State

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 8.-Judge
! ! Norton, in the court of Common Pleas
at Beaufort, accepted the petition Of
the Coosaw Company ard 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 fol
about three years. Litigation will
now proceed in the United States
Courts without further interruption
from the State court.
The followingare the essentia! clause;
of the decision:
"The question before me is whether
it is the duty Of this court now to ac'
cept said petition and bond and p1o-
ceed no further in the action. 1t is
agreed that it is, If federal question
is involved, which must be determine
A,by this court for itself.'
4oRslefendants in their petition allege
"a have q perpetual lease from
that they'G ,1el ssesSsjn
the State, the plaintjF here, Tor ce4-s:fs
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 ICON
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 had 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 well established judi
cial Interpretation of words transferred
from a former act, unless the contest
shows an intention 80 to do"
"We 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.n
"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 Caroli-
ma, and the bond Herewith filed, be,
and the same are. hereby, accepted,
and that this court do proceed no fur
ther in this suit"

The Governor has received letter
from Solicitor Nelson telling him that
it is exceedingly difficult to get all the
thlrty-four witnesses for the State in
the celebrated Jones case to attend the
trial, as the venue being changed from
Edgefield to Lexington, the fifty cents
per diem allowed would not pay their
expenses. The Solicitor made the re-
quest that the Governor pay the ex-
penses out of his contingent fund.
The Governor has replied, saying
that he will do so, with the express un-
derstanding that the Solicitor will
bring the case to trial at any and all
hazards.
