GrccnvilIc Isnnksfn court.

The Grccnville News of last Sunday
says:
The National bank, Peoples bank, and
Savings bank of this city, will ask Judge
Hudson, now at Anderson for a percmp-
tory mandamus to compel and require the
county auditor to correct the returns of the
three banks and to compel the county
treasurer to permit the auditor to make the
correction; also to receive the taxes on the
amount given in for taxation by the banks
ana sustained by the county board of
equalization.
The Peoples bank and the National bank
on Friday offered TO pay their taxes to the
county treasurer on a basis of the original
assessment fixed by the county board of
equalization and as returned by them. The
treasurer refused 10 accept the taxes unless
tliey. were on the increased assessment as or
dered by Comptroller Ellcrbc The bank
refused to Pay on the raised assessment
and Cochran, Wells, Anscl 81 Cothran, rep
resenting the two banks, went to ,ndg
Hudson at Anderson, Friday night. II
signed an order requiring the auditor an
treasurer to show cause on Wednesday tn
17lh, at p. M, why q peremptory man
damus should not be issued. Papers wcr
served on the two county officers ycste
day. The Savings bank decided on th
same plan and II. j. Haynesworth left yes
day afternoon for Anderson To have An o.
der signed.
The mandamus will undoubtedly b
issued. The supreme court has sustaine
Judge Hudson IN his action in the Ncwbel
ry bank case and there is no longer an
reason why the banks should not be rcliey

FOR GOVERNOR,

Hon. nj. l.. Donaldson, of Grecnvillc
has been suggested by some of the news
papers and many others who arc not con-
ncctcd with newspapers, as u suitable can
dldate and proper person for Governor of
this commonwealth. Since the brainy and
conservative James L. Orr has declined to
be candidate, we think Grccnyillc Is the
county to furnish the man for the COVER
norship, and we think that man could be
found in the person of Nj. l.. Donaldson.
Mr. Donaldson is a very conservative man,
is fully Unidentified with the farmers and
would do moro than any ono else to heal
the breach and restore peace and harmony
IN tho Democratic party of this State
That Governor Tillman has made mistake,
and blundcrs, and in fact is almost n fail
urc, no one can successfully deny, and tha
there has Eccn breaches and disruptions il
The Democratic ranks is equally true; anC
VIC desire to sec unity, peace and harmon,
restored, which will ncccssitatc the clcc
Ton OF more conservative man than Gov
crnor lillman. We trust that Hon. NJ. I,
donaldson will become q candidate and b,
elected Governor. We don't think Cover
nor Tilman is rs strong now as he was tvs,
years ago, and if he was he has made S,
many mistakes and b!undcrs that We be
live the people would support Il conscrva
tive and upright man against him, especial
ly one who is so fully Unidentified with tn,
people and has their interest at heart lik,

'f those who stood in tho forefront of bat
tic IN accomplishing the revolution of 1890
and has scarcely yet got warm in his Con-
grcssional chair. The Haskcllitcs would
gsoat over his defeat, and this, particularly,
fhould be good reason for the Democrat
lc pariy's giving him loyal support Col
umbla Register.
How refreshing to read the bold, indie
pcnt, honest convictions Of an esteemed
contcmpory. l, believes just what it says.
Who ever read or heard of three more co.
gent or logical reasons for returning a man

battle in accomplishing tho revolution Of
1890.
I'd; He ''has scarcely yet got warm in

Sd. ''Thc Haskcllitcs would gloat over

You need not laugh, gentle reader You
may not be informed as to what was
achieved by "thc revolution Of $780, A
horde OF proiligatcs and spcnGthrirts were
turned out of Office, and hgtoncd, econom-
lcal .rctormcrs were ;pT in their
places. We turned ont those who had
been "bamboozlcd and Gekauchcd and who
had allowed 'Ilc government to become
pcrmcatcd with incipicnt rotucmn.ss," and
put in men sound to the core. men who
would expose the iobhcry, trickcry and
waste of the peoples money for the last
fourteen years. Our fcllcrs have not done
that yet, but they will. Give them two
years more. They cart work gsod till
they get warm. Besides the fcllcrs we
turned out, were kin to many Of ovr fcl-
lerS and we don't want to hurt feelings. It
has taken little more taxes TO support the
government born Of "thc rcvolulion," but
where is the man not an Office holder, who
would not prefer to live under a reform,
cconomica! government, to being ruled by
men who had been in Office a long time.
OF course that Congressional char
should be thoroughly warmed. 1t shall
be warmed if we have to use some of the

The "llaskelitcs would gost.' G!oating

bESIs
Mother, I see you with your nursery light,
Leading your babies, all in white,
To their sweet rest;
Christ, the Good Sheppard, carries mine
tonight,
I cannot help tears, when I see them
Their fingers in yours, and their bright
curls shine
On your warm breast,
But the Saviour's is purer than yours or
mine
He can love best!
You tremble each hour because your
Are weak; your heart is wrung with
alarms,
And sore oppressed;.
NY dal lings are safe, out OF reach OF harms,
And that is best.
You know over yours may hang even
Pain and disease, whose fulfilling slow
Naught can arrest;
Mine in Gods gardens run to and fro,
And that Is best.
You know that of yours the feeblest one
And dearest may live long years alone,
Unloved, unblest ;,
Mine are cherished of saints around Gods
throne,
And that is best.
You must dread for yours the crime that
sears,
Dark guilt unwashed by repentant tears,
And unconfessed
Mine entered spotless on eternal years,
Oh, how much the best!
But grief is selfish, and cannot see
Always why I should so stricken be,
More than the rest;
But know that, as well as for them, for
God did the best!

THE BIGGEST MEN.

The biggest man in the world, ac
cording to the authorities in Brobding-
nag, is an American, John Craig, of
Danville, Ind, who weighs S23 pounds,
and is often seen by the dazed sojourn-
ers in that peaceful little village wheel
ing his 6-months-old baby along the
street in perambulator. This pro-
cession of Craig Junior and senior il
lustrates one of the remarkable quail
ties of the contemporary giants-he is
neither the father nor the son of giants.
Johnny Craig, Jr., of Danville, is not
above the average size of children of
his age, and it is said that this fact
causes his father much secret sorrow.
The biggest man in New York, and
in other respects one of the most in
teresting, is John A. Seaton, the color
ed watchman in the Equitable Build
ing on lower Broadway. Seaton is 6
feet u inches in height, and is so SYM
metrically proportioned that his 2S7
pounds give him, if anything, a statu-
esque, not to say slender appearance.
He is quiet and unobtrusive in his
demeanor and partakes of that good
nature which is said to be generally
characteristic of giants, that is giants
of today; in old times the giants
seemed to spend most of their time
roaming with large clubs through dense
forests in terrible bad humor, and
hungering greatly after human food.
One of the tallest men in this coun-
try, and until further evidence the
tallest, is James Murphy of Bridge
Creek, Colquitt county, Ga, common
ly known us "Big Foot jim" He
stands feet in his stocking feet and
weighs 26O pounds. Mr.. Murphy
wears No. Is shoe, and as he is said
to have will of his own, no doubt ac-
complishes something when he puts
his foot down.
The strongest man i'll the North
west is f. =. Kendall of Seattle. On
the occasion of recent test of his ex
traordinary powers, Mr.kendall agreed
to put from shoulder to arms length a
lO.pound dumbbell oftener than eight
strong men could do it. Eight of the
most vigorous looking laborers at work
grading about the county courthouse
were matched against him. Kendall
kept time with each of them, and after
the eighth had given up from sheer eH-
haustion, smiled pleasantly and ran his
score up to an even thousand. He has
a brother who holds the worlds cham
pionship at putting up dumbbells.
