KENTUCKY HAS A GOVERNOR.
Supreme Court Decides in Favor of w. n.
Beckham-D Democrats are Winners.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 2l.-Thc
United States Supreme Court to-day de-
cidcd in favor of w. II. Bcckham, the
Democratic Governor Of Kentucky.
Governor Taylor, by tho terms of an
agreement reached, will Immediately re-
tire from the capitol and Bcckham will
be installed.
The opinion was handed dOwnby Chi Of
Justice Fuller and tho case was dis
missed for want Of jurisdiction. lie
said the court should be the last to over
step the bounds limiting its own juris-
dicvion and that the determination of
cases of this character, contests Of State
Offices, must necessarily DC settled by
The political branch Of this government.
That branch has acted in the kentucky
case when the General Assembly took
jurisdiction. There was no appeal from
tho Asscmbly's decision, which was
favorable to Gocbel and Bcckham, ex-
cept to the tribunal Of the people, which
tribunal the Chief Justice said was al
ways in session. IIo also said the case
was purely State casc-that kentucky
was in the full possession Of its faculties
as a member of the Union and that there
was no emergency at this timo calling
for interference.

Present and Prospective Candidates.

There is good authority for tho i'm
preston that Mr.. George T.. Prince, OF
Anderson, will not make the race for
Solicitor Of the Eighth judicial Circuit
this yoar, and the presumption is that
he is waiting for a bigger prize two
years hence. Captain j. A. Mooney has
been in the field for some time, and Mr..
j. +. SGggs, Of Pickcns, who was here
this week, announced himself as in the
fight. 1t now looks as if pickcnS and
Grccnvillc will have it by themselves.
1t is generally understood that Green
vllc will get into n Congressional Dis
triCt with Anderson, TickcnS and Oconcc
before the next election year, and that
Congressman Latimcr will be after the
job now held by Senator McLaurin.
Every prominent politician regards ithiS
probable district as his promised land,
and the Piedmont if these things come
to pass, will bC ovcrrun with candidates.

Tho EClipse,

Don't forget that next Monday, the

for the moon to pass directly between us
and the sun and will hide from our vision
for few moments that bright orb of

houis Of and 9 o'clock Il. m. 1t will be
Il glorious sight, one that you may never
see again as it will be many years before
the eclipse will again be total in this sec
ton. 1t will be an interesting study to
old and young tO watch it from begin
ming to finish. The most impressive
sight will DC the corona, Il beautiful
silvcry halo which will surround the
moon during the eclipse. Every one
should make preparation to view this
wonderful spectacle to the very best ad-
vantage possible. TO prepare for it take
two pieces of glass about four inches
wide by six inches long. Smoke one
piece so that you can easily look at the
sun in midday, get thin board, cut a
hole two inches in the board, glue this
board on the smoked side of the glass.
Then glue the other glass on top Of the
board, which protects your smoked glass
thus equipped you can watch the eclipse
at every stage, as it passes, without in
jury to the eyes.
