Carolina Roads unclaimed.

Major Joseph Ganahl, attorney
for5the Port Royal and Western
Carolina roads, returned to the city
this morning, and he says that'the
railroad has paid the taxes due to
Carolina with the penalties attach
ed. The latter was paid under pro-
test, and the road hopes to get it
back.
This action relieves the road
from trouble with the State officials
and the cars chained to the track
at Laurena have been freed and
are now running as usual.
Major Ganahl denies the. pub
lished statement that he was dis
courteously treated by Governor
Tillman. He says the Governor
was very emphatic and very hard
on the railroads, but was not dis
eourteods to him personally.

She is cool as q cucumber in half

She can talk sweet as peaches

She can throw a stone with

E, The can say "no" in such a low
voice that itmeans 'syes."
She can sharpen a lead pencil if
you give her plenty of time and
plenty of pencils.
She can dance all night in a pair
of shoes two sizes too small for her
and enjoy every minute of the

She can appreciate a kiss from
hershusband seventy years after the
marriage ceremony is performed.
She can go to church and after

Well, Mr.. Editor, have all the
people up your way sold off their
cotton seed? They seem to be 60
ing wild about it here, and are
hauling off their seed for 8 liveli-
hood. If they don't make break
soon, they will not have enough
left to plant. Probably they think
they are making money, but the
iertilizing companies will sell the
meal back 10 them for moro than
they sold the seed. Then having
made the oil clear, they will sell it
also to them for fifteen cents q
pound. Where then IS the poor
mans money? In the big mans
pocket, where it will remain as
long as the sun shines and the
earth turns on its axis.

Ex-President HAYES did

Ex-President Hayes did not
carry a watch, the reason for
which popularity illustrates one
of the traits of his character. 1t
appears that in his younger ..days
the watch. he then carried was
the cause of sending two men to
the penitentiary. 1t was stolen
from his pocket; the thief was
captured, trid, convicted and sent
to, the penitentiary for a term Of
years. Mr.. Hayes recovered his
watch, and a second time it was
stolen. The thief turned out to be
a poor man with large family,
and after he was sent to the
penitentiary .Mr. Hayes came to
the conclusion that he would get
rid of the cause of as much trouble
to his fellow men. Since then he
never owned a watch.

News of the victory was received
in Columbia very quickly after it
became known in Charleston, and
very naturally Governor Tlllman
and the other members of the adj
ministration in the city we're high
" grati6ed.
When asked about it, the Cover
nor said he had confidently looked
for victory and therefore was not
surprised at the result. He added
that: instructions had already been
given for other Sheriffs through
out the State to: proceed as did
Sheriff Nance wherever necessity
forsuch action exists.
The. efectof this back-down on
the part of the. railroad company
will be that the railroads in South
Carolina will.now have to- "come
to taw" with their taxes, or have
their trains and conductors arrest
ed and detained.
A telegram was received here
yesterday saying that Mr.. Ganahl
would come to Columbia to see
Governor Tillman in the hope OF
having the penalty (amounting to
about $1.oo9) attaching to his com
pany remitted.
Attorney General Townsend and
Hon. Ira B. Jones, assistant coun-
sci for the the State, returned to
the city yesterday afternoon from
Charleston, where they had gone to
look after the States interests in
this case. They were. as was to be
expected, very much gratified by
the result.
Sheriff Nance stopped over i'll
Columbia last night; and was
beamingly joyous. He is glad OF
his vindication, glad of the victory
that has been won, and most EN-.
phatically pleased That ''his
friends, the enemy" (including
