OCTOPUS OVERTHRowN.
The Coosaw Case Decided For
TheState-Tillman's Tri- :.-
umphant VindicatiOn

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The
U. S. Supreme Court to-day
affirmed the judgment Of the
Circuit Court of the United States
for the District of South Carolina
in favor of the State of South Caro-
lima IN the suit against the Coosaw
Mining Compans.
This is case Of great.importance
to the State and involves its right
to control the phosphate rock and
phosphate beds in Coosaw River
which are exceedingly valu-
able. =
The Coosaw Mining Company
claimed that in 1876 the Legis-
lature of South Corolina made a
contract comforting OH it a per-
petual grant to the exclusive
mining of all phosphate rock and
phosphate deposits in the Coosaw
River.
The State cont'nded that by lis
Act the Legislature had granted
the Coosaw Company exclusive
rights for only limited period,
namely, until the expiration Of
twenty-one years fixed in 1870,
when the Coosaw Company was
given the right (but not the
exclusive reght) to mine phos-
phate. This period expired in
1891.
The court to-day, in an opinion
by Justice Harlan, holds that the
Act of 1875 did not give the
Coosaw Compny perpetual and
exclusive grant, but merely an
exclusive grant for the balance rf
the twenty-one years covered by
the original contract of 1870.

THE asRD OF APRIL.

At the grand mass meeting to be
held at Edgefeld on the 23rd of
April, Gov. Tillman will give an
account of his stewardship, He

and tell them what he has accom-
plished for the good of his State
and people and what he has failed
to do, and aohy; and the why will
be the biggest wordin the diction-
ary to the ants before Ben gets
through with it. The whole shep-
pard ticket has been invited to
meet Tillman on the day named,
and show wherein he has failed
to do what be promised to do, Let
them be and appear at the place
appointed and prove their charges
against him and his administra-
ton or forever hereafter hold their
peace.
Gov. Tillman has been bottled
up, his mouth closed, during his
incumbency of the gubernatorial
Office, and his enemies, taking ad-
vantage of this status, have poured
hot shot, shell and shrapnel into
him when he could not send a sim
gle broadside in return. But
henceforth to the ides of August,
his pen and his tongue are his own
and the fur and the splinters are
bound to fly.

A woman in this city has q certain

rects the cleaning Of the rooms and the
furniture, taking care that the. latter is
not scratched or injured in the handling,
and that all blemishes are removed by
careful oiling. All the furnishings are
then replaced according to her ideas. AS
she has excellent taste, she manages to
create good impression each time, but
never duplicates setting. She suggests
the removal of unnecessary pieces or the

We consider ex-Gov. Sheppard
one of the best campaign speakers
in the South. He is without doubt
one of our ablest men and his
training in deliberative bodies has
made him one of the readiest and
most effective men in a personal
controversy we ever knew. He
will be hard man to handle on
the stump; and we differ with
manv others in saying he is
properly placed at the head of the
ticket.

campaign will truly be a
campaign of education, and we
sincerely pray it will be
