bers Of the state committee who have
been approached haye indicated that

fluence in behalf Of Talbert and ]. H.
Tillman. as against Hayward, whose
candidacy" the dispatch said, was
not sanctioned by Senator Tillman."
Today your correspondent called on
Senator Tillman at his home here, In
regard to the story in The Constitution.
When he read the article, the senator
remarked: r"It Is piece of newspaper
work that Is made when no news can be
found. It is the most absurd thing I
ever heard that Hayward should get
sanction to run for governor. Any man
is free to enter the race and I have
nothing to do with It. It is the biggest
piece of foolishness: I ever heard Of"

lines of demarkation Of Tillman and
anti-Tilman has been obliterated.

candidate will be voted for or against
by either Of the old factions. / am only
drawing lines when I; see Republican
disguised as a Democrat who has the
impudence to enter the Democratic pri-
mary. Continuing the senator says ne
had nothing to say or do with any OF
the candidates in their respective races.

\. Ill Fight Jenkins.
Lexington Dispatch: 1t Is quite natu-
raj tha. the Republican leaders should
not be satisfied with the appointment
Of Major Micah Jenkins. His selection
was based on purely personal reasons
and it Is supposed that the regular Re-
publican organization will have no
voice in the service under him. The
only appointments he has made so far
were those Of Republicans, and 1t Is
presumed they were made on recon-
mendation Of Captain Capers. But
that gentleman himself Is not in favor
with the regulars, who resent his ap-
pointment as national committeeman
and state distributor Of political pie.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Screven is a reg
ular, his appointment to place will
hardly placate Deas and his gang, and
they are preparing to wage vigorous
fight against the confirmation of Major
Jenkins and Postmaster Harris, Of
Charleston, the latter Capers protege.
The Post Of that city says: "a meet
ing of the Charleston county Republi-
can executive committee was held re-
Gently and a resolution was adopted
condemning the appointment Of Micah
jenkins as internal revenue collector.
It was stated at the meeting that
fight will be made against the confirm
alton Of the rough rider at the next ses-
sion of congress. The Negroes did not
take kindly to the appointment Of w.
L. Harris, either but they did not
adopt any resolutions in his case, as,
they did in that Of Jenkins. Chairman
Deas will address the colored Repub-
licans next week upon the invitation
of the committee. The time and place
will be announced later"
Rema nded to State Court.
Charleston Post, Tuesday: In the
United States circuit court today Judge
Simonton handed down his decision In
the case of the State OF South Carolina
against the Virginia Carolina Chemical
company, granting the motion of the
plaintiff for the remand Of the case to

tory for Attorney General Bellinger. 1t
will be recalled that several months
ago Attorney General Bellinger brought
action against the Virginia. Carolina
Chemical company, In the Richland
county court, under the antitrust act,
alleging that the company was pur-
chasing and acquiring a monopoly of
the fertilizer business. contrary to law.
The attorneys for the company moved
before Judge Buchanan for transfer
of the suit to the Federal court, alleg-
ing the act to be in derogation of the
constitution of the United States. The
Judge refused the motion, but the at
torneys secured copies Of the proceed
ings and filed them in the circuit court
and later Judge Simonton heard the ar
guments on the motion of Attorney
General Bellinger for the remand.
Judge Simonton's decision is lengthy,
containing many law citations. The
court notes that accompanying the rec
ords, there is no order of the state court
removing the suit. But from admis-
sions," continues the court, made at
the bar and from the whole tenor Of the
arguments, it appears that the absence
of the order, removing the cause, was
not based upon the insufficiency of the
pond, but upon the legal ground that
the case made by the plaintiff does not
