case in the United states court fairly
upon its merits. Many plans have been
devised. but all have heretofore failed.
In December. 1890, MI. William "A.
Lyles, OF Columbia, who has been Mr.
Wesley's attorney, rendered to the
treasurer of FairfieIu, in payment OF
S15.16 taxes on tract OF land he own
ed. cash to the amount of s13.16 and 81
in the revenue script. 1Ae treasurer
refused to receive The tender on &C.
count of the script and in due time
the land was sold for taxes and pur-
chased ~ a North Carolinian. Action
is now being brought in the United
States court against the owner by Mr..
LyleS to recover possession.
This is just where Mr.. Wesley has
been trying to get for twenty-nlnc
years. 1t will now be decided whether
the script is valid obligation of the
state. 1t is believed by many South
Carolinians that it Is. There is $780,
900 now outstanding.
To get this case in the courts Mr..
Wesley years ago purchased from the
state The agricultural hall in Colum-
bia, paying $1,000 cash and rendering
the balance in bond scgip. Governor
Tillman Immediately seized the build
ing. attempting to foreclose the mort
gage. After long fight the state lost,
and the valuable property went to
Wesley. 1t was sacrificed rather than
risk getting the scrip in court on It's
merits.
Mr.. Wesley seems to have advanced
money to the radicals in the early sew
enties en- this scrip, he acting in good
faith in the matter.

Blue Ridge Road Sold at Auction.
The Blue Ridge railroad was sold at
auction at Anderson last Monday and
bought by Fairfax Harrison, of Wash
ington, and B. L. Abney, Of Columbia,
for 100000.
Both are Southern railway officials,
but the road will be reorganized as a
separate system they declare.
The property consists of thirty-three
miles of completed railroad in South
Carolina, together with rolling stock,
right of way and franchises in South
Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia,
seventeen miles in completed roadbed
in Georgia, seventy-four miles right
of way in North Carolina, formerly
owned by the Tennessee River Rail-
road Company, Blue Ridge in Georgia
and Tennessee River in North Carroll
ma, and one thousand acres Of land
across Stumphouse mountain in South
Carolina.
The old Blue Ridge has interesting
ante-bellum history, having been built
in 1858 to Walhalla, when the war in
terrupted the extension across the
mountains.
The tunnel through Stumphouse
mountain is a marvel of engineering
skill, it lacking only quarter of a
mile being complete, and as it stands,
is over a mile in length through solid
rock. This was the dream of John c..
Calhoun to connect the west with tide
water through coal fields and mineral
lands of Tennessee, Georgia and the
Carolinas.
If the Blue Ridge route is fully util-
lied it will be one Of the most pictur-
esque roads in the south. 1t has been
in bankruptcy thirty years. 1t was
bought by Governor R. K. Scott in
1872, who failed to pay, afterWard
leased by the Southern and receiver

and Columbia to Walhalla instead OF
Greenvllle, thus shortening the dis
tance to Atlanta.

Another Federal Appointment Planned

Another Federal Appointment Planned
The story is going the rounds that
Senator McLaurin has planned anoth-
er federal appointment for this state,
which will aid him in his race for re-
election next year. 1t was announced
a few days ago on the best authority
that J. w. Mccullough. of GreenviEr,
would be appointed United States
marshal at the end of Marshal Mek
tons term. and this seems to settle the
rumors about the place going to other
candidates. Mccullough is demo.
crat. member of the celebrated fam
lily of that name, and has big influence
politically in his home county at
Greenville. Of late years he has been
out of active politics, but has kept in
touch with the situation. He is said
to be in sympathy with the McLaurin
movement and this accounts for his
probable appointment. Melton's term
does not expire until early next year,
but 1t is said that the appointment will
be announced in advance Of that time.

eight Per Cent.

There is fascination about big pro-
fits to a business man. But the con-
servative and cautious trader prefers
to have the lesser per cent. of intere st
and the larger per cent. of safety in
his invest tments. There is DO bus mess
man who would not consider it a sound
proposition to invest in an Enterprise
in which absolute loss was impossible
and which offered ninety-eight chances
in a hundred of q rich profit. The
statistics Of cures effected by DR..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
show that ninety-eight per cent. of
cases of ''weak lungs" can be absolute
ly cured. Almost if not all forms of
physical weakness may be traced to
starvation. Starvation saps the
strength. The body Is just as much
starved when the stomach cannot ex-
tract nutrition from the food it receives
as whom there is no food. "'Weak
lungs" bronchial affections, obstinate
coughs. call for nourishment. "Golden
Medical Discovery supplies that
nourishment In it's most condensed and
assimilable form. 1t makes weak
lungs" strong, by Strengthening the
stomach and organs of digestion which
digest and distribute the food, and by
increasing the supply of pure blood.
