The attorneys for the purchasers
then argued that there was nothing
before the court to show that Messrs.
Thomas and Ryan, the purchasers,
had not bought the road for them
selves, and that it was an unwarranted
assumption to say they had purchased
1T for the Southern Railway. It was
on this phase of the case that Judge
Simonton then postponed the hearing
until the 18th of JaifGary to allow the
procuring of testimony to show who
the purchasers were acting for, and
whether or not there IL any evidence
that BY the sale the ros.d would pass
into the control OF u competing line.
The Representatives OF the counties
regard this as quite victory since
Judge Simonton thereby recognized
the State law against the control of
railroad by competing line, and over
ruled the position that all he had to
do was simply to see that the order OF
sale had been complied with. What
may be the result of the hearing a
few weeks hence cannot be foretold,
but the result will be awaited with no
small degree of interest by the public,
as well as the parties at interest.

THE u. II & w. g. SALE.
The Fight Now in tho Courts Against
Confirmation.
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
At the recent sale of the Port Royal
and Western Carolina Railway, Messrs.
Thomas and Ryan were the purchasers.
1t was understood generally by the
public that they represented the South
ern Railway in the purchase. The
people of the counties traversed by
this railroad built it by liberal sub
scriptions for the purpose of obtaining
u competing line, but they saw their
road gobbled up by the Central, and
the latter in turn swallowed by the
Richmond and Danville and the very
object they had in view defeated.
When the recent sale took place under
the Central reorganization plan and
it was understood that the purchasers
were the trustees of the Southern
Railway, and they were about to be
bottled up more effectually and per-
manently than ever, the counties of
Sparianburg, Anderson and Greenville
decided to move in the matter. Ac-
cordingly legal services were engaged
and the law against one line controll-
ing rival line was invoked to prevent
q confirmation OF the sale.
The sale was had under o decree of
the United States Court and on Satur-
day the purchasers through their at
torneys appeared before United States
Judge Simonton for confirmation of
the sale. The counties above named
were presentby their attorneyto objects
to the confirmation on the ground that
1t WAS In direct violation both of the
statute and organic law of Carolina.
Attorneys for the purchasers took
the position that the court had nothing
to do with the purchasers and was only
sitting to ascertain Ii the sale had been
held in accordance with its decree. II
! it found that the order of the court
had been followed then 1T was the duty
OF the court to confirm the sale. They
argued that II, after tue sale had been
confirmed, he.State of South Carolina
should find the purchasers were In
possession IN violation OF her State
law, then Id would be competent fol
4 her to proceed against them, but the
i action OF Judge Simonton was simply

whether the order OF the court haC

She came from Detroit, Mich, and
her great pride was in being an invalid.
She lost no opportunity in stating that
she came to Minnesota to recuperate.
She did not hesitate to enter into O.
conversation with any person she came
in contact with, giving advice-clima-
tological or physical--to invalids, and
seeking the same from those of robust
constitution. Her conversation was
always prefaced by the introductory
inquiry so common to visitors, Did
you come here for your health ," She
thus addressed q stalwart, ruddy-vis-
aged young man at the dinner-table of
the hotel, and the following dialogue
ensued:
Yes, madame came hero proba-
bly, the weakest person you ever saw.
[ had no use of my limbs in fact, MY

"A wonderful cure I" said the lady.
But do you think your lungs were

They were probablys sound, but
possessed of so little vitality that, but
for the most careful nursing, they must
have ceased their functions"

The school tax levy will hereafter
be three nils.
The announcement that there would
be necessary increase in the tax levy
to meet the expenses OF the State
government has created considerable
discussion and some dissatisfaction.
The Comptroller General states that
unless there is an tncOme taX and
license tax provided the tax levy will
nave 10 DC about ten mills to meet all
expenses of government. The dispen-
sary profits, which are supposed to
amount $l00,00O, have all been given
to the school fund, and phosphate
royalty is tied up in q sinking fund to
pay the State debt. These funds can
not, therefore, be considered in provid
ing for the necessary expenses of the
government. 1t is very likely that
both the income tax and license bill
will be introduced in the Legislature.
The Comptroller General stated that
he did not know what scheme would
be devised in reference to incomes,
but suggested that it would probably
be tax on all who received an income
equally on all the people of the State,
but the license scheme will only affect
the town people. 1t is stated that
farmers, for instance, will not be sub
ject to a license tax, although they
are in business" like any one else
The Comptroller General estimates
that tax on incomes of thousand
dollars would bring in about $50, 900.
This will not he enough to meet the
| deficit. The license tax on business as
charged in Charleston would bring in
about $780, 900. Comptroller General
Norton does not intend to recommend
amy plan to the Legislature, but will
simply call to the attention of the
members what they are permitted t.
do under the constitution. The whole
subject is one in which the officials
are deeply interested, and they are
scratching their heads daily to get up
some scheme to raise the money and
still not increase the rate OF taxation

ali yyncrs, were clamoring

press and several sensational news
papers took up the cry and it seemed
that public sentiment was being
aroused to IA point where it might be
unwisc to contend .gainst it.. AT that
juucturc Senator / / is said to have
Of 'ho Administered 4. According to
the report, as it is whispered around
in Congressional circles, Senator Hill
frankly stated that there were but two
WAYS out OF the dilemma. One was
10, the President to ignore the bowling
OF the Republican advocates of o
popular loan and all other persons
joining in the outcry against the So
called Ozark lantern deal with the
syndicate. 1t was further suggested
that instead of making loan for
500, COO 900 the loan should be made
at 5000, 900, 900, which, from politi-
cal standpoint, would relieve the pres
cnt administration from further en-
barrassment on the financial question,
and leave the succeeding administra-
tion to walk the loor," and suggest
remedy or a solution of the problem
which is now as complex as it was
before Congress- assembled.
1t is said that the President could
nOU sec MS way Clcar 10 acU upon SuCn
advice, and then the other alterne-
tive was brought forward. 1t was
shown that the Republicans in the
Senate, backed up by portion of the
press, were bowling about q popular
loan, and the eagerness with which
the people OF the country would rush
forward and subscribe TO the bonds to
any amount, several times in excess OF
the one hundred million. 1t was said

Soliciting Funds.

In dispatch from Gustavus
Adolphus College Of St. Peter to the
Minneapolis Tribune, Saturday, Sept.
18th, the following statement is made:
CDR. j. S. Carlson has been granted
leave Of absence during the fall term,
IN order to solicit funds for the Col
lege. There is yet an indebtedness
of about S15, 600. and it is hoped this
will be Cancelled before the end of the
year,
To judge from the number Of school
house campaign speeches made by DR..
Carlson during the last few days he
seems to be more intent on making
gold-bug stump speeches than execut-
ing his avowed mission. It may be
that the faculty is aware of the cam
paign work he is doing, but it does not
look that way. It is cert ain that a
man cannot serve two masters at one
time and it is an open question which
DR.. Carlson is working most earnest
ly for at present. the College de bt
fund or the republican campaign COM
mittee. The course pursued by the
DR.. certainly does not tend to increase
! the confidence in his school among
| those Of his country-men and church
people, who believe the political faith
he breaches is not in line for the best
interests of the country.

Henry Feig in his article printedelse-
where challenges anyone to deny that
the tariff is the principal cause Of our
national distress, but must have for
gotten that this county has another
gold standard champion Of vast pro-
portions, that at the very moment was

the trouble:
1t is a strike inaguratcd by the money
lenders against tho borrowers. by the mon

as the West has learned that honesty is the
best policy. And if she cannot learn it in
any other, she will learn it by bitter expert
| ence after her holdings have been trans
fcrred to the Eastern money loaners, which
! can be done in a very short time according
to the present status of affairs.'

it is the money lenders Of the East try

mission. Willmar TRIBUNE can rest
