SUCCESS Is PossIDLI.-Perhaps somebody
would like TO have the O6serrer's opinion
about the result. We have no hesitation in
saying that while Tillman is nothing like as
popular as two years ago, VIC believe he
still has . large majority. We believe how
ever, that with properly conducted cam
paign, in which his promises and his per-
formannss- sxill--h no o.A~sstsd, ,--oud- hts
entire official record shown up truthfully
and plainly, and without fear or favor, there
will be change of sentiment sufficient to
defeat his reelection or to make it very
close. We think the people are in condi-
ton to listen to argument and reason, and
that nothing is to be gained to either side
by appeals to passion or prejudice and
class feeling. .-Newberry Observer.

Lemastcr, wife Of Mr.. G. w. Lemaster, de-
parted this life on the 23rd day of March,
aged 30. She leaves devoted husband and
four little children to mourn her loss. They

resigned to the will cf Him who in His iu-
finite wisdom, doeth all things for the best.
She expressed desire that her children be
brought up in the nurture and admoniiion of
the Lord" In hcr daily life she evlncsd by
her example that she was . follower Of
Jesus.
Memory carries US back to the time when
we enjoyed the hospitality of her home, and
II Is sad to know that we shall never see her
there ag'in; but we are consolsd by the fact
that We can meet her in the beautiful beyond !.
In hor doTout life she left rich heritage to
those who now mourn her loss.
Sho was loving sister, n devoted wife, an
afs ctionato mother, goo noighbor and a
consistent sneTbsr of the Baptist church.
Let os by our example teach her beloved
children 10 dcspise that which is low and
ove'ing. and - cling to that which is pure
aud noble.
May the husband be guided with wisdom
from on high to lead thom in the .'paths OF
righteousness" May We oil realize that the
grave is but the gate TO life eternal. j.

The STATE WINS The CoosAw Cash
washington, April 4.-The Supreme Court
OF the United States to-day affirmed The
judgment of the Circuit Court of the
United States for the district of South Care
lima in favor Of the State of South Carolina
In its suit against the Coossw Mining Csm-
pany.
This is case Of great importance to the
State. aud involves its right to control the
phosphate rock and phosphate beds 10 Coo
saw river, which are exceedingly valuable.
TRe g,osaw Mining Company claimed that
ih<S76 the Legislature of South Carolina
made contract comforting on it perpetual
grant to the exclusive mining Of the phos-
Phaie rook and phosphate deposits in the
C"osaw River The State contended that
by its act the Legislature had granted the
Coosaw Company exclusive rights for only a
limited period, namely, until tho expiration
OF tweuty-one years fixed iu 1870, when the
Company was given the right (but not the
exclusive righD TO mine phosphate. This
period expired in 1891.
The Court to-day, in an opinion by Justice
Harlan, holds that the Act Of 1878 did not
give the Coosaw Company o perpetual and
exclusive grant, but merely an excIusfys
grant for the balance of the twenty-one
years covered by the original contract Of
1870.

"While do not question the sincerity of

avoid the conviction that they may postpo no
for years the relief which they seek by Grip
ping the only party through which that
relief can come. But, let me ask, what
harm has that party ever done them Every
intelligent person will admit that tho Repub-
lican party has done them much harm and
has attempted still greater harm.
every candid man will admit also that
the Democratic party has done him no harm,
but, on the contrary, has done much good in
repairing the evils of reconstruction, in
assuring the dominance Of the Auglo-Saxon
race. In reducing the expenses OF govern
ment, in subordinating military to civil law,
in reducing taxation by their persistent op-
position to its increase, in restoring every
where an orderly and tranquil civil admin
istra'iou, and in proving the incalculabis
dangers Of two attempting force bills.
These achievements ought to commend
the Democratic party to the earnest. support
OF every Southern man."
