AN HISTORICAL OLD PLACE.
Lockhart Shoals is ne new place, but is
well known to oil the older people Of the
county. II is, 10 fact, . very historical old
place. Three miles above the shoals 10 the
town Of old Pinckney, settled by soigrants
from Pennsylvania, snd was the nrst county
seat Of Union, and whsr. the old Jail now
stands. Two miles above the shoals il the
| homestead place of the Farrars, family Of
tho finest old South Carolina caste, and the
most prominent people in the county.
TIVE mii,s below the shoals is the cid place
where Governor David johnson, Of this
State, was born. aud where he lived for =
long period. After Governor Johnsen's death
Ex-Governor Thsmss Is, Jeter came in pos
session Of The properly.
About the year 1918 the State built canal
at Locxharl Shoals, for nsvigable purposes,
| and the soil masonry is still there, and very
interesting to look at. This canal was built
| Of the very finest kind of granite, and from
| The appearance Of the way tho rocks arc
dressed and put in. it can readily be seen
that it was \ frst-c!ass job, executed by
skilled workmen. II is said to have cost
| the State over million dollars.
Leckhart Shoals is a beautiful place. The
scenery is perfect, reminding one on either
hand of the Beauty Spots depicted BY
| Turner'S Landscapes. II is AZ Lockhart
Shoals that the winds, laden with tho pei
fume Of flowers, blows softly over q large
grassy lawn just above tho shoals. where
! there is soon TO be town.
The climate is good, and sickness arising
from climatic influences, or malarial chills
or fcvor aro unknown. The place is more
elevated than any other point on the river,
and for this reason the summer nights are
cool, which irsnres refreshing sleep.

The UNITED STATES SUPREME CouRr
AGAINST rHE SuERlrrs. Washington, ID. G.,
April 21.-The Supreme Court has denied
the petition for writ of hGb'ds corpus in
the South Carolina railroua tax case. This
decision leaves the matter in :hc hands OF
the South Carolina FEDERAL courts and tho
slerifis will have to stand the punishment nj
ordered for contempt of court
The dec sion was delivered by Chief Jus.
tice Fuller. The case came up OH petition
nf Sheriff Tyler, Of Aiken county, for n
@rit OF hdbeds corpus TO release him from inn
i.I'isonGient under the Judgment OF the
Eircn; Court OF the United states; that he
he fined 5000 for contempt. lie had scizel
:, train OH the South Carolina rairoad upon
y warrant issued by the State authorities
-. c5M,c::cm c: ;.Aes, which were i. con.
trovcrsy. The road was in the hands Of n
cceiver appointed by the United States
Court and he was adjudgel guilty Of CON
:cimpt tor failing 10 release the property
under order of that court. He came 10 the
Supreme Court for relief
Justice Fuller read an opinion containing
much stronger language than is usually
.'ound in such documents, denying the ap-
;Slication Of the petitioner FOR the writ lie
said the seizure of the property by f"rce
uss uniu.ii6able and could not be defended.
The claims Of the State for taxes are not
superior TO the general rule which makes
property placed in the hsnds Of a receiver
subject to tho orders Of the court they are
to be determined in the regular nay and in
proper manner. The action of the Circuit
Court, Chief Justice Fuller said, was in no
sense an action against the State Of South
Carolina, which. 1t was concluded could
not be maintained under the eleventh
amendment to the constitutes: I'm con.
clus'on he said the Circuit Court was equip
ped with the fullest power to protecl its
dignity and to enforce its mandates. aud its
mse of these powers in the case in Fon,
could not be reviewed here. Therefore, the
petition for II writ of haJCds corpus was
denied. The same judgment was announced
in the cases of Shcrias Riser and liaineS
which came 10 the Supreme Coult of the

MHaE ~ EXISTING. - Gafnsy City,
April 4S.-Encmieg of The Alliance and
some pretended Reformers are playing a
new role. a numerously signed petition to
the Postmaster General left here today pre-
testing against the appointment as postmas-
80. 80" Ut this place Of Mr., J. Ed JefferIs,, a
son ef State Alliance Lecturer, .. ~. .....'
les, because young Jetfsries is not q resi-
dent Of this place and that he is a son of
the State Lecturer Of the Alliance, particu-
lar stress being laid on this latter declaration.
The blacklisting petition plan was con-
cocted to cut him out. The busiest man in
circulating the petition against Jefrerics has
pretended to be friend TO the Alliance and
great Reformer, but now curses The wkole
movement and says he will fight Jeffsrieas
TO the end.
Jetferie, is not n politician and has a GER
tihcate from his old employers, who are
ants, that he never participated in politics,
registered asa voter i'll Gaffney, paid his
poll tax in this place and has always been
regarded as one Of its citizens. More than
hundred men signed his petition. Coi
Rogi'tt.,
That sounds not only funny, but very un-
reasonable. The people of c., flney are not
fools. and therefore would not be likely TO
oppose any worthy young man upon the
ground that his father is prominent and
influential member of the Alliance, the
members of which are their immediate
neghbers ami the best Gus omers Of the
town.

chloride of gold, rs n euro for the taste Of
ale 'holic stmulans and the morphine habit
has sold out to syndicate for $40, 900, 900.
1t is supposed that he had amas,si a fortune
of S5,ooo,OOO from his discovery before he

We are Of en- trli that thers must be
something wrong in the government when
individuals can amass such immense fortunes.
Will some ono tell us wherein tho govern
ment can be charged with wrong in DR..

II we are not n!is,aker, D.. Mscune, of
the National Economist, few years ago.
~hen h' r"' q poor man, aud the great ligh;
of the Alliance order, played vigorously
upon that string, attempting 10 show the
tendency Of tho government TO make wealthy
ina:!:au., at the cost OF the masses /: at the
same time he WAS getting indie pendently
rich out Of tho great patronage he received
frcm the poor and oppressed farmers. as
he sycophautly called the farmers of the
South. Aud today, so we learn. he is living
in highest style at Washington. There wa.
no harm in his getting rich. The govern
mont was not to blame for it and there
not man in tho country that would net
have done the Vory same thing if he had tho
sense and tact TO successfully pursue the
same course.
We arc all. fron the poorest even to the

human nature, and the tendency Of a gov
ernmsnt that did not stimulate the ambition

make nation Of poverty stricken dolts.
IL IL no more true that the labor of the
poor man makes the rich man richer, than
that the wealth of the rich man is the mean,
ny which the poor man bscones rich. II
there were no rich people in the world there
would he no factories, railroads, telegraph
lines, ships for commerce between nations
or anything else requiring concentration of

Of employment for themselves and money.
