Muchly Mixed.

The status of the railroad tax cases is
Just now pretty hard to defne. Since
the decision of the United States Supreme
Court that the Circuit Court had no
jurisdiction in cases where the amount
of tax involved was less than $1,000. IN
some of the counties where the amount
involved was under that sum, rolling
stock of the railroads has been levied by
the Sheriffs under executions for taxes
issued by the County Treasurers. OF
course it is understood that these execu-
tons are for the excess of taxes claimed
by the State and denied by the railroads.
The South Carolina Railroad and the
Richmond and Danville. being in the
hands o; receivers. renewed the fight
this time on different line altogether.
The base of action has been changed,
and on petition fled in the United
States Circuit Court these roads have
procured temporary restraining order
with a rule for the Sheriffs and Treas
urers to show cause why they should not
be perpetually enjoined. The contention
is that the railroads are already in the
hands of the Court, and if these taxes
are lust the Court will order them paid,
and in this view OF the case it matters
not whether the tax claimed is under or
over $1,000. If it is lien on the pro-
perty of the roads to the amount of only
five cents the Court will order it paid by
its proper officer, the Marshal.
And just here is where the conflict be-
tween the State and Federal authority
comes in. The result OF the conflict Of
jurisdiction will be watched with inter
est by the people of the State.

The South's Advantages.
Manufacturers Record

The most significant recognition of the
superior advantages of the South as a
location for the manufacture Of cotton
fabrics has manifested itself during the
past week in a rumor that the Massa-
,chusetts Cotton Mills Corporation, of
Lowell, Mass, has decided to establish
mills for the manufacture of the coarser
grades of goods at some point IN the
South. Although this rumor has been
discredited by some of the New England
papers, we have positive information
from source of undoubted authority
that the company has decided to make
such a move, although the details OF
location and construction are yet to be
determined. The Massachusetts, Cotton
Mills Corporation is one of the largest
cotton manufacturing concerns in.NeW
England, having a capital of s1,s00,000
and operating l26.64S spindles and $500
looms. The product consists OF sheet
ings, shirtings, drillings, etc. For the
purpose of extending its business the
company has applied for legislative au-
thority to increase its capital stock
s1:2oo. 900. 1t is understood that the con-
templated new mill in the South will be
equipped with the latest improved ma
chinery, and that the heads of the de-
partments will come from Lowell.

WALHALLA, s. c.:
THURSDAY, FEB. 9, 1898.
An Act Of Craftsmanship.

The nomination of Judge 81. E. jack
son. of Tennessee, by President Harri-
son. as Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court, is statesman-like act. Judge
Jackson is both Southern man and
Democrat, and would make worthy sue
cessor Of the late Judge L. Q. c. Lamar,
whose successor he has been named. We
were not expecting President Harrison to
rise to the height he has in making this
appointment, but he has unquestonaoly
performed delicate duty in noble and
patriotic manner.
1t is being said that the politicians in
the United States Senate are debating IN
their minds whether or not they will con-
firm the appointment, and pretend to
bottom their action on so-called prin-
ciple that no outgoing President should
be allowed to fill SO important an appoint
ment. Well. whea the right nan for the
,ieht place is found, and the discharge OF
or,,al duties demands that the office
shouiu'-- filed, the sooner the better.
There can be ne question as to the fitness
of Judge Jackson Tor a. position. He
was made Judge of the UnI.ea States
Circuit Court of Tennessee by Presioe-s
Cleveland, and is man learned IN the
law. The Supreme Court is behind IN
the determination of it's causes and badly
needs the appointment OF successor to
the late Associate Justice Lamar. This
being SO. politicians. even though they
be Democrats, should not be allowed to
block the wheels OF government for par
t,san purposes. Politics is not always
craftsmanship. Would that it were.

The term romance had its origin in the
middle ages, because the Roman monks
were so accustomed to repeat the Ara

tired of those old stories and wanted
something new, they called the new sto-

schole of the Geek and means leisure.

This direct statement, coming from Mr.
Cleveland, caused quite sensation among
those members who take a conservative
view of the silver question, but who also
realize that repeal of the Sherman law
will probably prove benefit to the coun-
trv. Gen. Catchings, of Mississippi,
when questioned on the subject, remarked
that it would not be difficultfor the oppo-
nents of the Sherman Act to come to an
understanding with the free Silver men
on that basis. He added that the gentle
men who are representing the interests
of Mr.. Cleveland in the silver contest
appear to be at work in an entirely differ
en-. direction. In their efforts to obtain
too much they may lose everything.
Senator Teller. Representative Bland and
other free silver leaders have repeatedly
said that they might be willing to com
promise upon a are-enactmento of the Bland
bill.
According to the best pariiamentari-
ans in both Houses it seems impossible
to adopt a cloture in the House or amend
the rules of the Senate to force a direct
vote on the repeal of the Sherman Act
unless some concessions are made to the
opposition.
