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*-

"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

'
- 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:

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?

Another Interesting Letter fromFlorida.
[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 oldCity of the Bay. The prediction thatTampa is the coming city of Florida isverified to such an extent that one can
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,
on the gulf, noted for its beautiful beachand fine fishing, distance from Tampathirty miles. The train takes us to PortTampa, nine miles from Tampa. For onemile out in the bay the railroad extendson trestling,r and as we sweep along wesee millions of fisk in the g listeninggreen 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 ungainlypelican 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. TheyItove read .the sign of "No ¿hooting,"[and are.^nite sociable over the matter.At the docks, steamers from many portsar? icading.and unloading their cargoes.Thé Maçcotfc, an "ocean steamer, has^justcome .in from Havana.;- Crowds cf tou-
f.rigts are scattered,alomfthe long stretchy. 'àsMng or enjoying the marine-Scon we areaboird the Iittfc
steamer and a few hours brings us to thepretty little coast town of St. Petersburg,a resort both in summer and winter. Theday passed swiftly and pleasantly. 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.

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.

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."
