Georgia, extension roads i ! ; in iparent violation of the conBtttu . '( tlonal clause against & road owning or ; f. bperatteg a parallel or competing line. - But the case seems to have no better ; prospects; of coming to a conclusion than it bad a year ago. The matter has V? been, hanging fire now for' 7 years. It r has been to tb'a Supreme Court, but ' ' neyar in suon a way as to secure ; decision on the main Issue, The ev V era! attorneys formerly Interested with the Attorney Qeneral'e office in pros , ; ecuting the case quit iridlsgust before Mr. Lyon's induction Into office, After hearings were had before a referee, ,. ' which gave the State's case to the . railroad nany months In advance. The State's witnesses are now eca ; tered and lost sight of in a large ;; measure, and It seems Impossible to " employ competent assistance with 1 the allowance made such assistance as,: can cope with the well-paid and splendidly maintained legal depart ment of the Southern. It was said on the floor of the House when the Hem was up for consideration' that Mr. Lyon had said that the case could not be' handled for less than $2,500 with eaiy degree of credit to the State. RAILROAD CONFIDENT. An attorney who has been asso ciated with the i prosecution of the case expressed the opinion to your correspondent to-day that the South ern Railway was, perfectly "(rilling to have the case come to trtel, confident, as the company Is, that with the way it has the case in hand now there can be nothing but a prompt confirmation of the leaw. - SOme time ago Mayor Rhett took the matter up with Gov ernor Heyward with a view to getting he case to trial, complaining that the road was using the uncertainty in volved as an excuse for not making proper terminal arrangements at Charleston and not affording the im- provements then urgently needed. This move finally eventuated In tho case being set for trial In the Richland court, but before the trial came off the outside -attorneys associated with the Attorney General dropped out If the State wins. It Is pointed out, the road will take over the lines and operate them separately as It is now dolBg with the Blue Ridge road. The Southern's legal department seems to have the game beat In Bplte of the constitution. POLITICAL POT BOILING. The coming race for Senator Lat imer's place continues the principal political topic throughout tho State. Following custom the (Joveriror. Adju tant General, Attorney General and Secretary of State, being all first termers, will have no material opposi tion In the campaign a yenr off; so except for this senatorial race It wll! be an off-year in South Carolina poll tics. Interest then naturally centres in the, senatorial race, particularly so in view of the way the probable can didates grow In number. Senator Latimer has to Id emphatically that he will make the race to succeed him self, and 1t Is practically certain that Col. Geo. Johnston,' of Newberry, ex Governor John Garry Evajns, of Spar tanburg, and pan 8. Henderson, of Aiken, will be in the race with him. Ex-Governor D. C. Heyward has been spoken of from time to time aa a r probable candidate, but he says that ' he Is done with politics and will not enter this contest. He prefers to devote himself to business here In Columbia, where he Is very comfortably situated. WILL NOT ENTER CONTEST. Congressman A. F. Lever Is very popular throughout the State on ac count of his ability to bring things to 'pass for his people at Washington, but it Is not likely that he will enter the ' lists. He has told some of his closest friends that he had finally decided not to enter. Mayor R. Goodwyn Rhett. of Char . leston, Is thought by many to be grooming for the race, but at present his chief interest seems to be In Char leston and immigration. In conversa tion he rather discourages the Idea that he will make the race. Ex-Speaker of the House M. L. Smith, a splendid stump orator and a man of ability generally, has been mentioned as a candidate, but It Is un derstood here that he has decided not to enter,- although there is talk that he held off from the race for Gover nor last time In order to get Into this senatorial game. Aa will be seen, It Is at least cer tain that Mr. Latimer will have some of the strongest men In the State to play agamst. LONGFELLOW. (Thomas Bailey Aldrtch'a last poem.)
