The State of Georgia Wins.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States
affirmed the validity and constitu-
tionality of the law passed by the
Georgia Legislature October 16,
1889, providing for the taxation of
the INDICATED, transitory property
of the railroads of that State. By
the terms of this law, the prop
erty of a railroad was to be divided
for taxation among the counties
through which it runs, in the pro-
position that the number of miles
in each county bore to the full
mileage of the road in the State.
The Columbus Southern Railroad
Company sued for an injunction
to restrain the collection of taxes
assessed under this law, upon the
ground that it was repug1ant to
the provisions of the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution,
which guarantees the equal pro-
lection of the laws of every State
to the inhabitants of that State.

mill in the county. Wheat comes
in when money is very scarce and
is great help to the farmers who
have it. 1t is very common to hear
people say it's cheaper to buy than
make -four, etc, but the question
is what are they going to pay with?
If we depend altogether on making
cotton to pay for everything we
will be left out of sight, and never
will catch up.
Farmers complain a great deal
about hard times. Well, I ex-
pect times are hard with great
many people, but most of them
make the times so. 1t takes six
days work in every week of the
year to make good, honest living
and what sort of living do you
think men make who work three
days in q week, and some times
not so many and then cry out
"hard times!"
At 10 A. M. to-day Mrs. Permelia
QUITS died, aged about seventy
eight. For many years she was

hearted Christian woman, and in
her death the poor have lost a
friend. She never turned q deaf
ear to those who came to her for
help. Only one week ago to-day
her husband, Benjamin QUITS, was
buried, and on the second of this
month her daughter, Mrs. Jennie
Cartledge, died, and her son-in-law,
Mr.. Jerry S. Cartledge, died on
Dec. 2Sth, 1893. In four weeks

A CARPET.BAGGER GONE
The Man Who Peddled Cadet
ships and Helped to Rule s. G.

News and Courier.
WoBURN, Mass, Jan. 26.-Benja-
min F. Whittemore, prominent
citizen, president of the local Cali
fornia Forty-miners' Association
and ex-mombcr of Congress from
South Carolina, died here last
evening, aged 70 years.
Whittemore was born at Maiden,
Mass, on May IS. 1924. He re-
ceived an academic education and
engaged in mercantile pursuits un-
til 1859, when he entered upon the
ministry in the Methodist Episco-
pal Church. He entered the army
during the war as chaplain of the
SD Massachusetts Volunteers;
served with regiment it's entire
term, and then was commissioned
as chaplain of the 30th Massa-
chusetts Veteran Volunteers, with
which regiment he remained until
they were mustered out, serving in
the army four years.
After the close of the war he
settled in South Carolina, where be
established reconstruction" or
gan called the New Era. He took
a prominent part in organizing the
Republican party in the State, and
acted as chairman of it's executive
committee during the reconstruc-
tion period. He served as a mem
ber of the State Constitutional
Convention, and was elected to the
State Senate. This position he
soon resigned to take seat in
Congress, to which he was elected
in 1866 and again in 1868.
In February, 1870, a resolution
was reported to the House for his
expulsion on the charge of selling
cadetships to the naval and mill
tary academies and he promptly
resigned to prevent any action, be-
Jig succeeded by Joseph H. Rainey,
the first colored man to De admit
ted to Congress. Whittemore was
subsequently elected to the South
Carolina Senate, but resigned from
that body in May, 1877, and finally
removed to his native State. He
was one of the greatest rascals
sent to South Carolina from the
North and resembled in many of
his characteristics the missionary
children" who have stolen the
kingdom of Hawaii.

A Farmer Speaks Ontfo Ellerbe

Ihns cOi1Nns hSAO 40 oSiA0
much talk in the county in regard
to who will be Gov. Tillman's sue
cessor in Office, and some people
have expressed themselves and
said thai they did not know how
we could dispense with Gov. Till
man as Governor of the State, that
it would be hard to find a man who
would enforce the laws of the
State as he has, having SO much
opposition as he has had, and in
the face of so many false misrep-
reservations by the ants who as a
general thing never give him any
credit for the many good things he
has done, and blame him for every
thing that happens in the State
whether or not he had anything TO
do with it at all. A worthy sue
cessor to Gov. Tillman would be
Hon. w. II. Ellerbe, the present
Comptroller General, for Governor.
He is a successful farmer, and has
made one of the best Comptroller
Generals we have had since the
war. He has of course all the cor
porations down on him because he
has raised their taxes on a par
with that of the farmers.
He is a young man full of vim,
backbone, force of character, and
determination, and I have no
doubt but that he would execute
the laws of the State with great
frmness and stability of purpose.
Moreover he will stand up to the
farmers, and he tries to make
banks and railroads pay taxes on
their property as they are assessed,
which is right. They have as much
right to pay on the assessed value
of their property as the poor
farmer who is the foundation of
the world, as his products that he
grows feed the world, yet the farmer
is rather looked upon contemptu-
ously by men of other professions
and by the ants as men of no in
telligence, not knowing anything
as to how the State government
ought to he run. Of course the
farmers do not claim to know it all,
but there sre some of them who.
are about as intelligent as the
average man of other professions.
Brother farmers you have right
to be heard, assert your rights,
stand firmly united, and all pull
together, and hold on firm to the
farmers movement, and do not let
little things divide you because
they were not done just as you
thought they ought to have been;
remember, united we stand, divid-
ed we fall, and division in the re-
form party ranks is just what the
anti croakers want. But [ read
and think for myself and cannot
be carried away by every little
breeze that comes along, and es-
pecially not by those little june
bug editors.

a person as Sergius, or of a Jewish
Christian congregation in Travan-

be a black species of imposture."
This is to my mind conclusive,
