An old farmer a Tillman
Hayseed-the other day said that
Governor Fillman must be a very
smart man or "an outdacious"
lucky man-that with all the lies
that are continually told on him,
and the unscrupulous decisions of
partisan Judge, he always seems
20 whip the fight anyhow.
"Tillman puts me in mind of two
bull dogs l seed fghtin, ,'once", said
our rural friend. " They got togeth-
er in a saw mill and hitched party
close to a great big circular
saw what was goin' at the rate of
about 10000 revolutions a minute !;
and sich fghtin' you never did see
they fit and fit, till finally old
"speck" backed up agin the saw
which clipped him in too before
you could say say Jack Robin
son. The two hind legs fell on the
other side of the saw but old
"Speck's" head and two front legs
jist. kept a fighttin', and they fiji
and fit and ft-and darned il
didn't whip the fght!" "Now
that's jist the way it is with Till,
man." said the old farmer. ~ be-
lieve if them thar Ants was to GU

Mr.. EDITOR: We are still NOV

pleasant way. Health is generally
good among the students. Mr.. ia.

sick ever since before Xmas, we
are glad to say, has returned. We

boarding-hall, has been sick, but
she is fas' recovering, AID We hope,
ere long, she will be we'll again.
The boys have been very busy
this week, sending valentines to
one another-they consider it fine
fun.
This morning a Senior thought
to joke one of our Seminary stu
dents by offering him nickel to
shine his shoes, the Seminary stu
dent thought to back him out by
taking him up; so the Seminary
student shined the shoes and the
Senior paid the nickel, to the
amusement of the othor boys. OF
course there is nothing amusing in
the proceeding except in the way
they went at it.

a new use has been found for
chrysanthemums besides looking
at them. The flowers, he says,
have been found To be a great table
delicacy. They may be served
raw or cooked. The Japanese way
is to boil them with a Glove, and
serve them cold with truffles and
other condiments. They are also
said to be very delicious boiled
and eaten hot. This news will be
a sad set back to the chrysanthe-
mum craze. Hereafter one might as
will grow cabbages or artichokes

chrysanthemums.

IF JOHN R. BUCHANAN, who left

suspense and anxiety about him, and
he will not be interfered with.

would have to go into their merits
to decide whether the lower court
had jurisdiction.
The whole point in these cases
is whether property in the hands
of receivers is subject to being
levied upon by the State for non
payment of taxes.
The people of the State, even
the Ants, want the State to win,
for they do not want to see the
States rights trampled under
foot. Private parties and solvent
corporations, who have to pay
their taxes, do not want to see it
declared that insolvent corpora
tions have rights which they have
not.
If the Supreme Court decides
that the sheriffs must pay their
fines, they will have to pay, but
he would see to it that they were
reimbursed and suffered no per-
sonal pecuniary loss.
He was not letting 60 worth a
cent and would gee the sheriffs
out,
If the order is such that we are
not in contempt enough to get up
to jail We will get in contempt
enough to get there.
If the ULited States Court de-
cides the same as the lower court,
Congress will be appealed to for
legislation on the subject.
Last night, at late hour, Gov.
Tillman said he had not given up
the fight by any means.
The order of the court is such
that it appears doubtful whether
habeas corpus proceeding will be
possible. If they are not, the fight
will be made on an appeal to the
Supreme Court from the decision
of the lower court.-Register.

NO BACK-DowN IN BEN.
He Will Fight The Railroad
Cases In The Supreme Court.

The decision of the United
States Court was made yesterday
and it was against the State
This was anticipated and created
no surprise though it was the sub.
ject of conversation everywhere.
Governor Tillman said he
anticipated the decision and that
it was due to tyranny or ignorance.
That he anticipated it, is shown
by the following telegram which
he sent to Ira B. Jones early
yesterday morning, before a de-
cision was rendered:
anticipating an adverse de-
cision and an order of imprison-
ment or fine of the sheriffs un-
less they release property, I would
say that we must fight it out both
on habeas corpus and by appeal.
If not jailed and committed pro
forma and we can agree to release
them without weakening our case,
do SO. Prepare papers and let me
know what lawyers at Washington
should be retained to assist you.
Order sheriffs and treasufers to
stand firm and we will see them
out harmless"
He had not seen the decision,
but merely telegram stating it's
nature, when Register reportA
called on him, and could
speak with certainty as to vi
his course would be. He expected
every sheriff to go to jail SO that
the case could be fought out.
He believed that every one OF
them would stick to the fight. If.
they were jailed, an appeal for.
their release on habeas corpus
proceedings would Immediately
be made to the Uuited States
Court. This would necessitate an
immediate hearing, whereas an
appeal from the decision would not,
though he had no doubt the
Supreme Court would advance an
appeal case on the docket.
In the celebrated Virginia
coupon cases the United States
Court made all order that the
Attorney General should not
institute proceedings against GER
tain parties for nonpayment of
taxes. The Attorney General
instituted proceedings, nevertheless
and was adjudged guilty of con-
tempt. The United States Supreme
Courl set aside the order of the
lower court, holding that it had no
right, i'm the first place to enioin an
