(The Stu'o, Doth.

Some months ago tho attorney
general Of tho Un&od States IN an
informal manner notified tho State
officials in making his demand for u
settlement, that tho federal govern
ment would enter suit against this
State for upwards Of $500, 900 of old
claims which tho United State AYERS
tho State Of South Carolina owes to
the national gover.!nont. The claims
arc all old war c'aims, and very
small part Of tho valid war claims
hold by the State against Uncle Sam
would offset them. Tho Stute's claims
are now IN course Of adjudication,
but this seems TO make no difference
insofar as Uncle Snm's desire to press
his claims are concerned, for ycster-
day notice Of suit against tho SSate
was served upon tho attorney general,
who, while az yot has nothing to say
about tho matter for publication, will
look into tho merits OF tho matter
and pursue tho course he dcems best.
Tho notice rendR as follows:

1t is charged in some quarters
that Mr. Patterson is brought out
and supported by Col. Robt. Al
drich to beat McSwecncy because
of the Governor refusal to pardon
the white bigamist. Pons, Col. Al
drich's client.
1t is not credible that SO small a
matter as a refusal to pardon a con-
vict should have SO great 4 result
as this is alleged TO have. 1t is
probable, though, that there is some
opposition to McSwccney on this
account. There have been several
determined and strong efforts 10 get
the Governor to pardon Pons, and
strong influences have been brought
to bear Oh him to this end; but he
has persistently refused, and we
understand has said positively that
Pons must serve out his sentence,
which was really very light, consid-
ering his oifensc.
Pons, if we remember correctly,
was railroad contractor from Flor
ida, who married a young lady of
character and standing in Barnwell
County while he had a wife living.
The evidence was incontravertiblc,
and he pleaded guilty and was sell
fenced to imprisonment and fine.
We forgot the time, but think it
was two, years. 1t was certainly
under a hundred, and any man who
gets less than rope or life impris-
onment for such an offense ought
to consider himself lucky.
The News is not advocating Mr..
McSweeney for Governor, but cheer
fully commends him for his course
i'll the Pons matter 1t certainly
ought not to lose him any votes il
South Carolina. In that respect lie
has undoubtedly done his duty.

A Strong but Temperate Rebuke OF "a SpIr rit
or UnfnIrncRs and InjuctiUc.
(From tho GaTuey Ledger.)

We believe that Gov. McSweeney
has given tho State a clean, honest
administration. He has manifested
no great ability, and no great ability
has been neeIod. The wheels of
government woro running smoothly
when ho took up tho reins, aud moth
ing was NODDED but a knowledge Of
detaila and stock OF plain common
business sense. We do not believe
that he has patronized and oncour-
aged blind tigers, and if ho has
taken oil the newspapers in tho State
and paid for thom out Of tho Cover
nor's contingent fund, we fail to sec
that he has been guilty of any i'm
proprity. On tho other hand, we
commend his desire to keep himself
informed Of current events in every
part Of the country, and a State that
appropriates over q million dollars
every year for the purpose Of dispens-
Jag information among her people
surely cannot withhold tho pittance
Of fifty or sixty dollars necessary to
keep the Governer informed of cur
rent events. Such a course would
be niggardly and picayuniah beyond
oil precedent.

Bryan replied:

with tho platform. Tho Vice Presi-
dent not only presldes over the Sen
alto while the President is alive, but
assumes tho Office Of President in
case Of tho Presidents death, and il
is hardly probable that delegates to &

platform and then select for eithel
place Oh ticket man who would
repudiate tho platform. No mar
worthy to bo considered for such an
office would accept nomination up
on a platform repugnant to his views
on any present issue. In every cam
paign men support ticket without
approving all Of The platform, but nc
ono can defond a platform unless he
believes in it. Many Tariff reform
gold Democrats supported tho Ro
publican ticket four years ago, al
though they dissentod from tho pro

A TRIFLE MIXED.

In an address to the democrats of
Logan county asking them to re-
nominate him for the legislature
Hon. H. NJ. Westmoreland reviews
his record in the last house and
says, among other things:
Tho appropriation of a million
dollars to build state house met
my determined opposition. l felt
that owing to the great poverty of
the honest toiler and tax payer this
ought not to pass.
The gentleman from Logan ap-
pears to be a trihe mixed. No
proposition to appropriate million
dollars for a new state house was
ever presented to the legislature.
The bill on the subject which re.
ceived legislative approval set apart
the sum of $50, 900 from the sale OF
certain lands, to be used toward
the erection of a new capitol. That
was the extent of the appropria
tion and it involves not one cent Of
additional taxation. With the
$50, 900 thus provided, the state
capitol commission set to work anC
its first annual report shows that
by the end of 1900 the value of the
improvements secured in the expen
diture of $50, 900 will approximate
$l50,O00 At this rate a million
dollar capitol would cost 1888, 00(
and it has been estimated thai
about six years would be required
to complete the work. BY erecting
the capitol on penitentiary hill Il {
state has made valuable sixtY-twC
acres of land it owns there. The
state, if it so elects, can sell fifty
acres of the land for fully 1888, 900
so that in the end the tax payers
will never be called upon for am
additional levy on account of the
improvement.-Lit Rock Ga

An Parly Morning Ride.

Superintendent Munson of the
Water Company, gave us an 8
o'clock ride out to the water
station this morning, as be had to
be out there to give directions to
the workmen, who are digging ad-
ditional wells for a water supply for
the coming summer We noticed a
couple car loads of tiling being un-
loaded as well as a car load of iron
piping to be used in conveying the
water from the new wells to the
pumping tank. There is already
sunk five wells q feet deep and the
water now stands in them within ii
feet Of the surface 1t is thought
when the required force is used to
lift the water from the ground by
sucking, that it will created an un-
derground lake and give plenty OF
water for all purpose. In addition
to this, the company has had
staked out a large lake which they
will excavate this summer. The
company will make lot of improve
meuts the coming year and our
water supply promises to be better
and adequate to all demands.
