UNCLE SAM INTERFERES.
CIRCUIT COURT TRIES TO STOP THE
COLLECTION OF TAXES.

SherIfs o I'd ered. mot to Levy on Railrcat
Property for Unpaid Taxes--sheriHs ant
Troasurers Must Answer Charges OF
Contempt OF Court.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 6.-Pro ceesings
were begun In the United States Court
here to, ay which threatened to bring
about a conflict between the State and
Federal authorities If the sherlffs of tho
various counties attempt to carry out
the orders Of Governor Tllmaa to levy
on railroad property for taxes now in
dispute. 90 saturday freight train on
the South Carolina Railway was chained
to the track. There were fourteen freight
cars, eight Of which were loaded, tho
value being about $ll 900. The amount
Of taxes claimed by the State is not over
81 600. The road is IN the hands of d.
Ii. Chamberlain, a receiver appointed
blythe United State Court.
Receiver Chambelain's petition to the
court, filed today, claims that the taxes
according TO the legal assessments, have
been paid and that the balance claimed
by the State, about 5000, is illegal and
has so been declared by the court; that
the seizure aud sale Of property would
put stop to the business Of the road;
that tho entire property is in the posses
sion and under the control OF the court
and the Court should protect its proper
ty and not permit the exaction of an il.
legal tax, so declared bv the court IN
March, 1892.
Upon hearing the petition Judge Sim
OntOn signed the following order: It
appc ring by petition that certain per.
sOnal property alleged to be in custody
OF the United States Court
and in the hands and under the contro
ol receiver duly appointed, has been
seized by and under an execution for
taxes alleged to be unlawful and not due
or pa able, it is ordered that M. T..
Mitchell and M. V. Tyler, Treasurer
ard Shcrlll of Aiken County, show cause
ut Charleston Oh February 20, why
they should not be attached and pun
lshcd Tor contempt OF court; also, why
they should not be en- oiued and restrain.
cd from interfering with any or all of
the property of the South Carolina Rail-
way. In the meantime a temporary in.
junction is granted restraining The off,
clals from levying upon the property in
question.
Similar writs were issued at tho suit
OF the Richmond aud Danvllle Railroad,
clLlng the Shcritls and Treasdrers of
AbbevlIle, Anderson and Newberry
Counties for contempt, the rule in these
latter cases beng made returnable at
Grecnvllc March :.
a detachment of United States dep
uty marshalls were sent out on this at
| tern g trains to serve the papers.
In all these cases the railroads have
paid taxes based on original assessments
OF property.
The Governors orders to Treasurers
and Shcrll's arc to 90 ahead with the ex.
ccutions peremptorily. The interven-
ton of tho Federal courts will probably
produce something OF au exciting clash
OF authority.

NE Texas LYnChinE Horror.

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. IA message
concerning the recent burning of tho
negro Smith, at Paris. has been prepared
by Governor lIOgg for submission to the
Legislature. The Governor says it be-
comes his painful duty to emphasize the
necessity Of taking some steps to pre-
vent mob violence in Texas. He says:
1.-The recent terrible holocaust at Paris
is but an illustration to what extent q
mob will 90 when the laws are ina ie-
quate TO check it. While thevictim Of
thatallair Wasguilty of an outrageous and
barbarous crime, appalling and con.
LCmtiblc, he was certain of full punish

the State. Civilization stands q help.
less witness to the most revolving excl
cutlOn of the age, IN which large num-
bers of citizens openly, in broad day,
publicly became murderers by methods
shameful to humanity.
"Thc crime committed at Paris is
disgrace to the State. Its atroclty, in.
humanity and sickenlng effect on the
people cannot be obscured by reference
to the previous act Of the culpriti in bru-
tahty taking the life of an innocent
child. TO contend that his eXecutioners
can neither be indicted nor tried in the
county where the crime was committed
is prctcnce and mockery."
The Governor says that if the Legis-
lature will enact suitable laws and place
the means at his command, every per-
son who takes part in mob shall be
brought to trial, or the strength of tho
machinery Of justice shall be thoroughly
| tested in the efforts.

Phoebe is on the eve of another stam-
pede equal to that which occurred when
news OF gold discoveries at Ferguson dis
trict were first reported. This time the
scene of difficulty is laid four miles west
OF the ranch of Robert Logan, in the
Muddy, aud about 1870 miles from here.
Reports of almost fabulously rich finds
reached town last Friday and quite
number of our townsmen have left for the
new diggings. 1t is called the Riley dis.
trict, from the fact that prospector by
that name has been working there for
some time. The surface there is hard
gravely cement, gold quartz being found
below the cement, which differs in places
in thickness High assays are reported,
and rash from Southern Utah and
Northern Arizona has already set in.
Early Sunday morning H. w. Turner
and VIM. Culverwell set out from here.
On Monday morning Duncan Mcdonald,
Morgan Williams and Others followed
also John Reece and Joe Bryant. Tues
day, Flannery and Leroy took the trail
while number are waiting a favorabl,
report when they, too, will imme
diatcly set out.
We hope the reports are true, and i
so. the camp will be a good one, as it will
be easily and cheaply supplied with pro
visions, the famous and fertile Mudd
Valley being distant only three or fou
miles. Before our next issue report
should reach US by mail from tire ne,
