Our esteemed and honored friend, thc editor of the Greenville Enterprise ana Mountaineer, has quite an inquiring tun; of mind, and when the political sk\ becomes dark and threatening, it fre¬ quently affords him relief (and. we hope, profit, too.) to search for light in tho col- «mus of the COURIER. In the issue the 9th instant the search is renewed with outed couj^gsy. Our contempo¬ rary sav*- ' ' " - ' j - "The KEOWEE COURIER is anl^.sj)&i#i for which we have an abiding respect:, and its utterances most generally meet with our hearty approval. It has an honorable record and is noted for a sound conservatism in politics. But even the wisest may be mistaken at times, and we beg leave to differ with our valued con¬ temporary in virtually claiming that the election of any man is necessary to accom¬ plish whatever the people may desire. Our purpose is not to debate this point. however, and we venturo to ask our friend to favor the public with a cata¬ logue of the reforms which are not yet accompiishe<\. and for which he contends that the ^'^ce to make the fight is in the election of legislators. What are the 'conservative measures of reform" to which allusion is made? "We-beg pardon for seeming inquisitiveness, but the ques¬ tion is asked in good faith and with the hope of obtaining a satisfactory answer." Th's is a candid question, and it shall recei.-e a candid answer, even though the information gained may not be so "sat¬ isfactory'* as the inquirer may desire. In the first place, our contemporary seems to forget that it is a condition and not a theory that confronts us. This truth, doubtless, is not very ''satisfac¬ tory," but the condition exists, whether we desire it or not. The movement for "reform"* is greater and stronger than Tillman or any other man in the State, but so long as he stands as the exponent of the "reform** wing of > the party his strength is commensurate with that of the movement. It feeing true that he is the choice of this Aying of the Democracy for Governor, all. opposi¬ tion to him is worse than useless: it is positively harmful, for, as General Earle says, "Such opposition would intensify the bitter feeling which now unfortu¬ nately exists and could succeed only by invoking the aid of the negro vote. Vic¬ tory at such a cost would bc too dearly bought Give me Tillman a thousand times before a Scott or a Hoses." * As we have said before, Tillman is only an incident of the. mo vement, and the v" ideas of reforaroQ-w&ch it is bottomed ""ÜV E^C*^$L¿??ÍO before they FAT^ÍJJ^I T ' - allegience of the major¬ ity of the Democratic paity in South Carolina. The people demand and expect a reduc¬ tion of salaries to correspond with the increased purchasing power of money. This was promised by Tillman in his campaign of 1890, but it has not been done. Still this reform has not lost its hold upon the people, and they can elect a Legislature that will make a conserva¬ tive and proper reduction of salaries. But it is true no great relief from the bnrdens cf taxation can be accomplished "without a change in our organic law. The system of government must be changed, and this cannot be done effectu¬ ally without a constitutional convention. Let us have a new draft bf the organic law, framed by our wisest and most con¬ servative statesmen, who know how to adapt it to our present environments. < The call, of course, must be made by the Legislature. m * Again, our system of county govern¬ ments is too expensive. Exactly what should be the details of this reform time and "space now forbid us to say, but -"something similar to the system of boards which obtained before the war would be practical and conservative. These measures come readily to mind as we hurriedly write, and while they form not a -lengthy catalogue, yet they are of sufficient moment to hold the con¬ tinued support of the people who do thc ?voting. Give us conservative legislators who will- make a proper reduction oi salaries and expenses, provide a new system of county governments, and call a constitutional convention; bût who will not grant Governor Tillman thc autocratic poWer which he asked at thc hands of the last Legislature; and^íí Tillman should be given anew lease di the Executive Mansion for. two years longer, which we nor? verily believe tc be-the will of a large majority of thc whise Democrats of South Carolina, om condition two years hence will be more "satisfactory" than can possibly be hopee if a factional fight is to be made on hin in the approach ing campaign. Tie jRaüroad War. On Honday last in the United Statei Circuit Court in Charleston all the rail¬ roads rrrnnmg through South Carolin* united in a suit against the Comptrolhs General and County Treasurer and She riff of every county in the State. Thi papers presented to Judge Simonton give tiro grounds upim which the action h based substantially as foliows : First That the railroads had returnee all properties belonging to them at tin -regrüar rate at which other property h the &ate is returned. / Second. That the State board of equali zation had largely increased this valua tion, in some eases doubling and. trebling the amount Third; That this would result-in fore ?i£g railroad companies to pay more tase: '?<-. ihin other property-holders, and'eonse ieatry was toying said companies t> ?3tee*ion of the in?: was furöb-r set forth that" under th« ation of this State real estate wa to be. assessed only once in.fte ^wmle'the law de^lare«CexpL"citi: i -Tsílio&á rta! estate is person ly, and at- the same time unde.

At the lime these tenders were mad« the Treasurers in every case refused tc accept the money, acting under instruc¬ tions from the Comptroller General, ano that the railroad companies were now threatened by Treasurers and Sheriffs with a levy upon their property, actior which, if taken, would cause the roadi j great damage and prevent chem from exercising their business as common car¬ riers. In view of these things it was peti¬ tioned that the Court would restrain Treasurers and Sheriffs from levying upon the railroads' property. Judge Simonton, after hearing the prayer of the petitioners, issued an ordei enjoining the Treasurers and Sheriffs the State from issuing such executions until April 4, unless the order should be set aside, and requiring in addition that the railroad companies, the complain¬ ants, give bonds, ranging from §500 tc $1,000 each, for costs and damages in case the injunction should be set aside. The order of injunction was served on Treasurer Crisp and Sheriff Moss, of Oconee, Tuesday. This is the beginning of a long litiga¬ tion, which will surely cripple the finances of the State, and hinder and delay the payment of all ch ixns against the State and counties. Judge Lynch. Lynched in Missouri! Lynched in Alabama ! ~tj vjQched in Arkansas! Lynch ed in v E^NÓnia ! Lynched in Louisiana! - Thus reads the record in Judge Lynch's Court for the last few days; and an appalling record it is! It maybe true the victims had committed thc most dia¬ bolical crimes-outrages, even the most fiendish and brutal-but the boldness of the lynchers argues a fearful want of confidence in the Courts. The reign of mob-law seems well nigh universal, and is to be deplored, The simple recital of thc horrible details of one lynching is sufficient to point the moral. At Texar¬ kana, Ark., on February 20, Ed. Coy was burned for an outrage committed just a week before. When captured he was carried to town and placed under guard to await the return of the posse wk^0 were out. When they were all in, a ^pe was brought, but a shout went up from 5,000 throats that he must be bu%1.ae(j> jje was accordingly carried out %f town and strapped to a tree by iron Jiastenings arj(j coal oil poured all oven? him. Another shout went up to "let'Mrs. Jewell apply the match," and ihyá iady> yrho had pre¬ viously fully identified, him as the wretch who outraged he/ slowly emerged from the crowd, veij, pale and leaning on the arms of two^r^le relatives, and unhesi¬ tatingly jp: alked forward to the spot and struck 'a parlor match and applied it to tfcsj negro's clothes in two places. In a I'second he was a mass of flames, and in about twenty minutes he was dead. This terrible vengeance may have been richi}* merited; but why not let the law take its course and mete out speedy pun¬ ishment to the vile wretch? There is a lurking danger of greater harm accruing from the widespread reign of mob-law than from the acts of criminals who receive such summary punishment. There is no reason in an angry mob, and when once incited against one who may be innocent, no power on earth can restrain its mad career and save the innocent. The spirit of lawless¬ ness runs riot, and the life of the citizen is imperiled. Isn't it high time to call a national crime congress? Oconee County Democratic Convention. In accordance with a call for a conven¬ tion in Columbia, to be holden March the 24th, it is respectfully suggested that era ts) of Oconee county be called to meet at Walhalla Court House on Saturday, March the 19th, at ll o'clock A.

The meeting is to nominate six delegates to the Columbia Convention, the purpose of which is to devise plans whereby the breaches in the Demcratic party may be healed and the white people thus unified once more, and for the transaction of any other business that may come before the meeting.

[Correspondence KEOWEE COURIER.] TAMPA, FLA., February 28,1892. Several days since we arrived in Tampa. In a two years' absence a most bewilder¬ ing change has taken place in the old City of the Bay. The prediction that Tampa is the coming city of Florida is verified to such an extent that one can readily foresee what the future will be. Many points of interest go to make up the environment of Tampa, and the days speed away swiftly. The one absorbing object of interest, however, is the Tampa Bay Hotel, which was four years in course of erection, and costing millions of money. It stands to-day at the head of the list of all hotels in the world for its gigantic proportions. It was built by the great railroad and steamship magnate, H. B. Plant, who with a munificent hand built and equipped this palatial hotel for the accommodation of the traveling pub¬ lic, thereby securing for this portion of Florida a constant stream of tourists who represent the moneyed "population of other sections. "Walking down Franklin street (which is the principal business street of Tampa) and crossing over the handsome iron bridge spaning the Hillsboro river, one irresistibly pauses in the center to gaze upon the entrancing scene of river, bay, and the beauteous grounds of the hotel, and to watch with interest the swiftly flying sail boats or gayly painted yachts, j We catrh the echo of gay laughter as it floats across the waters. We see a mov¬ ing panorama of handsome equipages upon thc asphalt drive, and crafts of every description upon the sunlit waters. But we go across the bridge and follow the asphalt pavement and enter the w:'de "^n gates to the hotel grounds. We find ourse:-vlT£s~aâlid'a wealth of floral beauty ajw*^^cjjanting scenery, ten acres of blossom; rmgpansieSj mounds of fringed petumers.v part?rres of geraniums, hedges 0i roses> 'Pdaintily shedding a spicy per¬ fume upfron the air while strains of music gr; feet the ear from the orchestra upon tbs e pia2za< -\Ye wander on through serpenta^ wajks into leafy au(j fern embow3'ere(i grottos, hid away among waving paimS; anci at each turn a new °^j^ct is revealed to our admiring view. 4^t last we reach the green-houses, which Mve at first thought to be superfluous in this semi-tropical clime, but we find in them hundreds of costly orchids and other rare stove plants, which only thrive under glass. Three immense green¬ houses furrish a wealth of dainty lilies and orchids for the decoration the hotel parlors. From here we pass out into a curving walk, through a terrace of brilliant geraniums, and follow to an eminence, where a fountain feeds a min¬ iature lake, and here we have a view of the whole scene-the gigantic length of the hotel, with its five stories and over five hundred feet of piazzas and glitter¬ ing zink covered Turkish towers, behind us ; before us the artistic grounds stretch¬ ing down to the river; arching above us a dome of blue ether, without a single cloud; and gently swaying the feathery ferns and brilliant plants, a delicious sea breeze cools the air. And now we ascend the massive steps of the hotel, the huge doors swing open ami we are ushered into a scene of. gor¬ geous luxury. The office and rotunda greet us with a sumptuousness that defies cridcism. In the centre, just beneath the dome, stands au upholstered nondc- scrip or central divan, which is crowned by a life size bronze of the Goddess Yesta, a pretty conceit being a recess between each seat around the divan, which is filled by a jardenier, in which is a growing j palm; and dainty pictures the fair dames and blushing maidens make as they sit embowered thus. Many pictures are upon the walls, some of them rarely beautiful, while others-well it would not take a practiced eye to tell that they were not the work of the "Oid Masters." The long halls stretch away from the rotunda on either side, which, followed up, reveal the parlors. Here rich dark turkey carpets cover the floors and one seeks to find this style carried out in the furnishing, but the furniture is in the slender gilded style, and is a reproduc¬ tion of the date of the Salon of the French Empire. However, the general effect is so dazzlingly beautiful that any little incongruity is easily passed over. The main drawing room is replete with many objects of interest, and rich har¬ monies delight the, eye. A rare bit of sculpture in carrara marble, "The Sleep¬ ing Beauty," occupies a pedestal just inside the door. Mr. and Mrs. Plant, in their search in Europe for the furnish¬ ing of this hotel, procured, among many other curious things, three cabinets of gold and ebony and a mosaic table which were once the belongings of the Tuiller- ies; a divan and chairs from the boudoir of Marie Antionette, also a set of chairs from the palace of Louis Phillippe and a jewel casket three centuries old. Hours upon hours are spent here, the senses beguiled into forgetfulness of the flight of time, Rekrctantly we wander on down the corridors until we come to the solarium, or sun walk, which is a curving glass-inclosed corridor leading into the dining-room. Pictures ill each panel between the glass, and a continu¬ ous array of palms and handsome plants, in majolica pots, line the walls on. either side. Reaching the wide door, which swings noiselessly open at a touch, we are in the dining hall. Here again the glittering silver, rare china, costly tapes¬ try hangings and elegant furniture en¬ chain the attention. The twenty-seven J side boards, or buffets, display a wealth of ceramic, art,, china in beleek ware, wedge-wood, safeuma in all its beauty suggests the perfection of a de jeûner at this famous hostelry. And yet far¬ ther on we wander into the hidden mys¬ teries of the culinary department; where a French Chef, with an air of a dancing master j"'superintends a large corps of assistants in the decoction of bouillon, consomme, dainty salid or marron glace. This kitchen is said to.be the best equipped in the United States. Again we return to the rotunda, where thousands of electric jets light up a dais-ling array of Parisian and Redfern toilets. Gran dam c.?, with flashing dia¬ monds and powdered hair, are bending over the card tables, while the dear girls are promenading with their beaux in swallow tail coats and two story collars. Sweet strains of music from Stubble-" dene's orchestra comes sighing through the open doors of the music room, which later on "in the e vening is the scene of the merry dance. Next comes a visit ta- St. Petersburg, on the gulf, noted for its beautiful beach and fine fishing, distance from Tampa thirty miles. The train takes us to Port Tampa, nine miles from Tampa. For one mile out in the bay the railroad extends on trestling,r and as we sweep along we see millions of fisk in the g listening green water. Far away the bay stretches 5 out in view, the tossing, billows breaking" r j into_ white foam. The screaming gulls fly swiftly about, while the ungainly pelican tumbles his huge body into the *|water, head .first, in search of fish, iiyriads of wild ducks rids the waves quite close to the railroad trajk. They Itove read .the sign of "No ¿hooting," [and are.^nite sociable over the matter. At the docks, steamers from many ports ar? icading.and unloading their cargoes.

'àsMng or enjoying the marine- Scon we areaboird the Iittfc steamer and a few hours brings us to the pretty little coast town of St. Petersburg, a resort both in summer and winter. The day passed swiftly and pleasantly. Next morning we board the "Flying Cracker" for Jacksonville ria Silver Spring. At the last mentioned place we stop to view the mystic scenery of this wierdly beauti¬ ful production of nature's most puzzling handicraft. It is headwaters of the Oc- lawaha river and is about seven miles from öcala. When we first reached the banks the general appearance was that of an ordinary lake, whose waters were wonderfully pellucid, so clear, in fact, that the figure on a nickle, dropped to the depth of fifty feet, was easily discerned. Taking a row boat we are paddled ont a few feet from shore and then the wonder¬ land commences. Onefeelsasif looking into another world. A vast scenery, un¬ der water, is presented of trees, plants, valleys and knolls in opaline tints and dark rich blues and greens, all silvered over with a spray of glistening sand from the boiling bottom. The rays cast by the phosphorescent waters give every¬ thing a most unreal appearance. Now we are passing a huge mound of silver fellspar, which shows only grey tints. The next instant a turn of the boat, making an angle, the whole is instantly changed and emits the glistening light like thc imprisoned rays from a humming bird's breast. Next we pass great mounds of emeralds, topazes and sapphires. In a moment our boat glides over a cavern with jeweled walls; then deeply, darkly yawns an unfathomable well, around whose mouth is growing feathery plants of crystal and transparent emerald ; even the fish gliding about are transparent and of the richest tint. For a mile or more we glide over this kaleidoscopic scenery, eTIthralled beyond power of ex¬ pression. "We are awed into silence. L. M. C. STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, ) LUCAS COUNTY. J * FRANK J.

In Search of Light.

Our esteemed and honored friend, thceditor of the Greenville Enterprise ana

Mountaineer, has quite an inquiring tun;

of mind, and when the political sk\becomes dark and threatening, it fre¬quently affords him relief (and. we hope,profit, too.) to search for light in tho col-«mus of the COURIER. In the issue oíthe 9th instant the search is renewedwith outed couj^gsy. Our contempo¬rary sav*-

''

" - '

j -

"The KEOWEE COURIER is anl^.sj)&i#ifor which we have an abiding respect:,and its utterances most generally meet

with our hearty approval. It has an

honorable record and is noted for a soundconservatism in politics. But even the

wisest may be mistaken at times, and we

beg leave to differ with our valued con¬

temporary in virtually claiming that the

election of any man is necessary to accom¬

plish whatever the people may desire.Our purpose is not to debate this point.however, and we venturo to ask our

friend to favor the public with a cata¬

logue of the reforms which are not yetaccompiishe<\. and for which he contendsthat the ^'^ce to make the fight is in theelection of legislators. What are the

'conservative measures of reform" to

which allusion is made? "We-beg pardonfor seeming inquisitiveness, but the ques¬tion is asked in good faith and with the

hope of obtaining a satisfactory answer."Th's is a candid question, and it shall

recei.-e a candid answer, even though the

information gained may not be so "sat¬

isfactory'* as the inquirer may desire.In the first place, our contemporary

seems to forget that it is a condition andnot a theory that confronts us. This

truth, doubtless, is not very ''satisfac¬

tory," but the condition exists, whetherwe desire it or not.The movement for "reform"* is greater

and stronger than Tillman or any otherman in the State, but so long as he standsas the exponent of the "reform** wing of

> the party his strength is commensuratewith that of the movement. It feeingtrue that he is the choice of this Aying ofthe Democracy for Governor, all. opposi¬tion to him is worse than useless: it is

positively harmful, for, as General Earle

says, "Such opposition would intensifythe bitter feeling which now unfortu¬

nately exists and could succeed only byinvoking the aid of the negro vote. Vic¬

tory at such a cost would bc too dearlybought Give me Tillman a thousandtimes before a Scott or a Hoses."

* As we have said before, Tillman is onlyan incident of the. mo vement, and the

v" ideas of reforaroQ-w&ch it is bottomed

""ÜV E^C*^$L¿??ÍO before theyFAT^ÍJJ^I T

'

- allegience of the major¬ity of the Democratic paity in SouthCarolina.The people demand and expect a reduc¬

tion of salaries to correspond with theincreased purchasing power of money.This was promised by Tillman in his

campaign of 1890, but it has not beendone. Still this reform has not lost itshold upon the people, and they can electa Legislature that will make a conserva¬

tive and proper reduction of salaries.But it is true no great relief from the

bnrdens cf taxation can be accomplished"without a change in our organic law.The system of government must bechanged, and this cannot be done effectu¬ally without a constitutional convention.Let us have a new draft bf the organiclaw, framed by our wisest and most con¬

servative statesmen, who know how toadapt it to our present environments.

< The call, of course, must be made by theLegislature. m

* Again, our system of county govern¬ments is too expensive. Exactly whatshould be the details of this reform timeand "space now forbid us to say, but

-"something similar to the system of boardswhich obtained before the war would be

practical and conservative.These measures come readily to mind

as we hurriedly write, and while theyform not a -lengthy catalogue, yet theyare of sufficient moment to hold the con¬

tinued support of the people who do thc?voting. Give us conservative legislatorswho will- make a proper reduction oisalaries and expenses, provide a new

system of county governments, andcall a constitutional convention; bûtwho will not grant Governor Tillman thcautocratic poWer which he asked at thchands of the last Legislature; and^ííTillman should be given anew lease dithe Executive Mansion for. two yearslonger, which we nor? verily believe tcbe-the will of a large majority of thcwhise Democrats of South Carolina, omcondition two years hence will be more

"satisfactory" than can possibly be hopeeif a factional fight is to be made on hinin the approaching campaign.

Tie jRaüroad War.

On Honday last in the United StateiCircuit Court in Charleston all the rail¬roads rrrnnmg through South Carolin*united in a suit against the ComptrolhsGeneral and County Treasurer and Sheriff of every county in the State. Thipapers presented to Judge Simonton givetiro grounds upim which the action hbased substantially as foliows :

First That the railroads had returneeall properties belonging to them at tin

-regrüar rate at which other property hthe &ate is returned./ Second. That the State board of equalization had largely increased this valuation, in some eases doubling and. treblingthe amount

Third; That this would result-in fore?i£g railroad companies to pay more tase:

'?<-. ihin other property-holders, and'eonseieatry was toying said companies t>?3tee*ion of the in?:

was furöb-r set forth that" under th«ation of this State real estatewato be. assessed only once in.fte

based upon the true value of their properry, and that they now stand ready tcpay the said tender into the hands of thcCourt.At the lime these tenders were mad«

the Treasurers in every case refused tcaccept the money, acting under instruc¬tions from the Comptroller General, ano

that the railroad companies were now

threatened by Treasurers and Sheriffswith a levy upon their property, actiorwhich, if taken, would cause the roadi

j great damage and prevent chem fromexercising their business as common car¬

riers.In view of these things it was peti¬

tioned that the Court would restrainTreasurers and Sheriffs from levyingupon the railroads' property.Judge Simonton, after hearing the

prayer of the petitioners, issued an ordeienjoining the Treasurers and Sheriffs oíthe State from issuing such executionsuntil April 4, unless the order should beset aside, and requiring in addition thatthe railroad companies, the complain¬ants, give bonds, ranging from §500 tc

$1,000 each, for costs and damages incase the injunction should be set aside.The order of injunction was served on

Treasurer Crisp and Sheriff Moss, ofOconee, Tuesday.This is the beginning of a long litiga¬

tion, which will surely cripple thefinances of the State, and hinder anddelay the payment of all ch ixns againstthe State and counties.

Judge Lynch.

Lynched in Missouri!Lynched in Alabama !

~tj vjQched in Arkansas!Lynched in vE^NÓnia !Lynched in Louisiana! -

Thus reads the record in Judge Lynch'sCourt for the last few days; and an

appalling record it is! It maybe true

the victims had committed thc most dia¬

bolical crimes-outrages, even the most

fiendish and brutal-but the boldness ofthe lynchers argues a fearful want ofconfidence in the Courts. The reign of

mob-law seems well nigh universal, and

is to be deplored, The simple recital of

thc horrible details of one lynching is

sufficient to point the moral. At Texar¬kana, Ark., on February 20, Ed. Coy was

burned for an outrage committed just a

week before. When captured he was

carried to town and placed under guardto await the return of the posse wk^0were out. When they were all in, a ^pewas brought, but a shout went up from5,000 throats that he must be bu%1.ae(j> jjewas accordingly carried out %f town andstrapped to a tree by iron Jiastenings arj(jcoal oil poured all oven? him. Anothershout went up to "let'Mrs. Jewell applythe match," and ihyá iady> yrho had pre¬viously fully identified,him as the wretchwho outraged he/ slowly emerged fromthe crowd, veij, pale and leaning on thearms of two^r^le relatives, and unhesi¬tatingly jp:alked forward to the spot andstruck 'a parlor match and applied it totfcsj negro's clothes in two places. In a

I'second he was a mass of flames, and inabout twenty minutes he was dead.This terrible vengeance may have been

richi}* merited; but why not let the lawtake its course and mete out speedy pun¬ishment to the vile wretch?There is a lurking danger of greater

harm accruing from the widespreadreign of mob-law than from the acts ofcriminals who receive such summarypunishment. There is no reason in an

angry mob, and when once incited againstone who may be innocent, no power on

earth can restrain its mad career andsave the innocent. The spirit of lawless¬ness runs riot, and the life of the citizenis imperiled. Isn't it high time to call anational crime congress?

Oconee County Democratic Convention.

tion in Columbia, to be holden Marchthe 24th, it is respectfully suggested thatera ts) of Oconee county be called to meetat Walhalla Court House on Saturday,March the 19th, at ll o'clock A.

readily foresee what the future will be.Many points of interest go to make upthe environment of Tampa, and the daysspeed away swiftly. The one absorbingobject of interest, however, is the TampaBay Hotel, which was four years incourse of erection, and costing millionsof money. It stands to-day at the head ofthe list of all hotels in the world for itsgigantic proportions. It was built by thegreat railroad and steamship magnate,H. B. Plant, who with a munificent handbuilt and equipped this palatial hotel forthe accommodation of the traveling pub¬lic, thereby securing for this portion ofFlorida a constant stream of touristswho represent the moneyed "populationof other sections."Walking down Franklin street (which

is the principal business street of Tampa)and crossing over the handsome ironbridge spaning the Hillsboro river, one

irresistibly pauses in the center to gazeupon the entrancing scene of river, bay,and the beauteous grounds of the hotel,and to watch with interest the swiftlyflying sail boats or gayly painted yachts,

j We catrh the echo of gay laughter as itfloats across the waters. We see a mov¬

ing panorama of handsome equipagesupon thc asphalt drive, and crafts ofevery description upon the sunlit waters.But we go across the bridge and followthe asphalt pavement and enter the w:'de"^n gates to the hotel grounds. We

find ourse:-vlT£s~aâlid'a wealth of floralbeauty ajw*^^cjjanting scenery, ten acresof blossom; rmgpansieSj mounds of fringedpetumers.v part?rres of geraniums, hedges0i roses> 'Pdaintily shedding a spicy per¬fume upfron the air while strains ofmusic gr; feet the ear from the orchestraupon tbs e pia2za< -\Ye wander on throughserpenta^ wajks into leafy au(j fernembow3'ere(i grottos, hid away amongwaving paimS; anci at each turn a new

°^j^ct is revealed to our admiring view.4^t last we reach the green-houses, whichMve at first thought to be superfluous inthis semi-tropical clime, but we find inthem hundreds of costly orchids andother rare stove plants, which only thriveunder glass. Three immense green¬houses furrish a wealth of dainty liliesand orchids for the decoration thehotel parlors. From here we pass outinto a curving walk, through a terrace ofbrilliant geraniums, and follow to an

eminence, where a fountain feeds a min¬iature lake, and here we have a view ofthe whole scene-the gigantic length ofthe hotel, with its five stories and over

five hundred feet of piazzas and glitter¬ing zink covered Turkish towers, behindus ; before us the artistic grounds stretch¬ing down to the river; arching above us

a dome of blue ether, without a singlecloud; and gently swaying the featheryferns and brilliant plants, a delicious sea

breeze cools the air.And now we ascend the massive steps

of the hotel, the huge doors swing openami we are ushered into a scene of. gor¬geous luxury. The office and rotundagreet us with a sumptuousness that defiescridcism. In the centre, just beneaththe dome, stands au upholstered nondc-scrip or central divan, which is crownedby a life size bronze of the Goddess Yesta,a pretty conceit being a recess betweeneach seat around the divan, which isfilled by a jardenier, in which is a growing

j palm; and dainty pictures the fair damesand blushing maidens make as they sitembowered thus. Many pictures are

upon the walls, some of them rarelybeautiful, while others-well it wouldnot take a practiced eye to tell that theywere not the work of the "Oid Masters."The long halls stretch away from therotunda on either side, which, followedup, reveal the parlors. Here rich darkturkey carpets cover the floors and one

seeks to find this style carried out in thefurnishing, but the furniture is in theslender gilded style, and is a reproduc¬tion of the date of the Salon of theFrench Empire. However, the generaleffect is so dazzlingly beautiful that anylittle incongruity is easily passed over.

The main drawing room is replete withmany objects of interest, and rich har¬monies delight the, eye. A rare bit ofsculpture in carrara marble, "The Sleep¬ing Beauty," occupies a pedestal justinside the door. Mr. and Mrs. Plant, intheir search in Europe for the furnish¬ing of this hotel, procured, among manyother curious things, three cabinets ofgold and ebony and a mosaic table whichwere once the belongings of the Tuiller-ies; a divan and chairs from the boudoirof Marie Antionette, also a set of chairsfrom the palace of Louis Phillippe anda jewel casket three centuries old.Hours upon hours are spent here, thesenses beguiled into forgetfulness of theflight of time, Rekrctantly we wanderon down the corridors until we come tothe solarium, or sun walk, which is a

curving glass-inclosed corridor leadinginto the dining-room. Pictures ill eachpanel between the glass, and a continu¬ous array of palms and handsome plants,in majolica pots, line the walls on. eitherside. Reaching the wide door, whichswings noiselessly open at a touch, we

are in the dining hall. Here again theglittering silver, rare china, costly tapes¬try hangings and elegant furniture en¬

chain the attention. The twenty-sevenJside boards, or buffets, display a wealthof ceramic, art,, china in beleek ware,wedge-wood, safeuma in all its beautysuggests the perfection of a de jeûnerat this famous hostelry. And yet far¬ther on we wander into the hidden mys¬teries of the culinary department; wherea French Chef, with an air of a dancingmasterj"'superintends a large corps ofassistants in the decoction of bouillon,consomme, dainty salid or marron

glace. This kitchen is said to.be thebest equipped in the United States.Again we return to the rotunda, wherethousands of electric jets light up a

dais-ling array of Parisian and Redferntoilets. Grandamc.?, with flashing dia¬monds and powdered hair, are bendingover the card tables, while the dear girlsare promenading with their beaux inswallow tail coats and two story collars.Sweet strains of music from Stubble-"dene's orchestra comes sighing throughthe open doors of the music room, whichlater on "in the evening is the scene of themerry dance.Next comes a visit ta- St. Petersburg,

Nextmorning we board the "Flying Cracker"for Jacksonville ria Silver Spring. Atthe last mentioned place we stop to viewthe mystic scenery of this wierdly beauti¬ful production of nature's most puzzlinghandicraft. It is headwaters of the Oc-lawaha river and is about seven milesfrom öcala. When we first reached thebanks the general appearance was that ofan ordinary lake, whose waters were

wonderfully pellucid, so clear, in fact,that the figure on a nickle, dropped to thedepth of fifty feet, was easily discerned.Taking a row boat we are paddled ont a

few feet from shore and then the wonder¬land commences. Onefeelsasif lookinginto another world. A vast scenery, un¬

der water, is presented of trees, plants,valleys and knolls in opaline tints anddark rich blues and greens, all silveredover with a spray of glistening sandfrom the boiling bottom. The rays cast

by the phosphorescent waters give every¬thing a most unreal appearance. Nowwe are passing a huge mound of silverfellspar, which shows only grey tints.The next instant a turn of the boat,making an angle, the whole is instantlychanged and emits the glistening lightlike thc imprisoned rays from a hummingbird's breast. Nextwe pass great moundsof emeralds, topazes and sapphires. Ina moment our boat glides over a cavern

with jeweled walls; then deeply, darklyyawns an unfathomable well, aroundwhose mouth is growing feathery plantsof crystal and transparent emerald ; even

the fish gliding about are transparentand of the richest tint. For a mile or

more we glide over this kaleidoscopicscenery, eTIthralled beyond power of ex¬

pression. "We are awed into silence.L. M. C.

Congressional Talk.

The Columbia Begister says: "It hasbeen reported that State Senator Stokes,of Orangeburg, would be a contestant forMajor Brawley's seat in Congress fromthe First D^trict of South Carolina.Senator Stokes has not yet decided toenter the race, but should he do so hewill be a formidable candidate. He isthe President of the State Farmers' Alli¬ance and editor of the Cotton Plant, andis in thorough touch and sympathy withthe yeomanry of his District and of theentire State."Ex-.Comptroller General J. S. Ycrner

has stated that he will not enter thc Con¬gressional race in the Fourth District.He did contemplate doing so and wouldhave had a strong backing, but finds thathis professional engagements will notallow him to enter the race.

"The News and Courier's Washingtoncorrespondent says it is whispered thatCongressman Stackhouse will resign,owing to the death of his wife and oldage. This is denied at the State House.It is stated that he will not only serve

out his term, but will be a candidate forre-election. If he is he will have no

opposition from the Farmers' Movementmen: but if he is not, it is said that Rep¬resentative Thomas W. Daggett. of Dar¬lington, will make the race.

"It is reported that ex-Solicitor H. H.Newton, ex-Solicitor Thomas Gaillardand ex-C'ongressman Qeorge W. Dargan,who are not Farmers' Movement men,will be in the race."
