THE MA1NIMG TOES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, March 14, 1S94. The re-appointment of Mowry as post master at Charleston seems not to be going through smoothly. The committee on post offices are investi gating charges that have been made against Mr. Mowry before reporting to the Senate on the appointment. The charges are not made by Till manites, but from those of Mowry's own political faction. Circuit Judge Simonton yesterday rendered an important decision in the railroad cases, which will, in part, atone for his past adverse decisions to the State. He decided that the railroad assessments are not excessive and that the railroads must pay their taxes. This means many thousands cf dollars to be paid to the State, and further laurels for Governor Tillman's administration. Last week we published a procla mation from Governor Tillman in which he offers one hundred dollars reward for the apprehension and con viction of the parties that burned Legg & Hutchinson's stables and Moses Levi's stores. In this issue the red con - rned vis's ards fire We are glad to see that Editor Gantt, of the Headlight, has seen his error in attacking the Congressman from this district, aud instead of sulking when convinced of wrong, he comes out manfully and tells the peo ple that John L. McLaurin should be re-elected. He says: "While we have had our differences with Mr. McLaurin, we have carefully exam ined every vote, and can see nothing ia condemn." The Headlight is a zealous supporter of the Reform Movement, and in the past its zeal has caused it to do and say things which were not calculated to do good. It unjustly condemned Mr. McLaurin and continued to do so until at last it discovered its error. There never has been a representative in Congress that has done his duty to his constit uents more fully and more ably than John L. McLaurin, and the people of the Sixth Congressional District would be untrue to themselves if they did not endorse him ith a re election without opposition. Mr. McLaurin was sent to Washington to represent the people and this he has done, at the same time he has made a reputation in the national council far beyond his expectations. With him, like with other men that have risen to greatness, he has had to contend not only with the opposition, but mith the ambitious jealousies of men in his own faction, but his merit and worth has overshadowed all, and to day he is regarded one of the most sincere and brainiest men in Con gress. The Sumter Freeman, edited by Col. John J. Dargan, greets Judge Benet to Sumter in an editorial of the 6th inst., as follows: "Judge W. C. Benet is presiding in our court this week. His presence here re minds us most forciby of the time when Thomas J. Mackey was here. The two men hive many points of resemblance. Both are adventurers. Both are "brilliant lights." Both preside in heavy swell style. Both areco litical acrobats. Both reached the be y zealous espousal of political un righteousness. Neither had any natural jpiste for the faction with which he became iderstified in order to get offee, and es pecially the salary part of the offee. But Mackey took the negro without a grimace till it paid to take him no longer and then he spewed him up and trampled upon him, and thus will Benet treat Tillman when the times ripen for the spewing up. For both we have ever expressed supreme contempt, and never will do otherwise, though all men else do cringe before power thus em bodied." After reading the above, what seemed to us to be a mean, and an unjustifiable attack, we went to Sum ter, principally to ascertain whether or not the Freeman was being sus tained in this onslaught by the citi zens of that county. We were not there long before we had satisfactory proof that the people in Sumter not only repudiate such an attack, but that some of them were outspoken in their denunciation of what they termed an outrage. Judge Benet, in Sumter, has won the admiration of the people and the members of the bar for his fair, impartial, and able manner of conducting the court, and if the editor of the Freeman was op posed to him personally, he had plenty of opportunities to tinsult him, before the people of this State placed upon his shoulders the judicial robe. But why this attack? What is its purpose? The people know the his tory of W. C. Benet and they know the hiatory of John J. Dargan; they preferred to honor Benet and igaore Dargan. They have that right. Benet, no doubt, has aspired for of. ficial honors, and so has Dargan. The former was successful, the latter was a failure. If Benet was an office seeker, Dargan is assuming the role of the devil reproving sin when he rebukes Benet. The difference be tween the two men appear to be that both were ambitious, one made every effort possible to win the confidence and the suffrages of the people and is an ignominious failure, regarded as a chronic growler, a stirrer-up of strife, a vindictive sore-headed crank. His Utterances -are treated by the masses as the vaporings of one not mentally responsi sible. The other was entrusted by his constituents, and they have never had cause to be ashamed of his pub lic record. He has never betrayed his trust, by act or deed. He has always stood by the people in their efforts to build up. He has never placed himself in an antagonizing position against the wishes of the people. He is a Democrat, and in defeat cheerfully submitted to the will of the majority. W. C. Benet is regarded as a man of culture and re iement, a man of broad and liberal -views, and a gentleman. He cannot afford, nor will be, pay any attention to the man that threw this daub of mud at him, and the people of Sumter will hail the day when they can 'til say, that all of her newspapers emntantof her citizens. The scandal suit in Washington in which Congressman Breckinridge and his former mistress, Miss Pollard, are actors, is now in progress and bids fair to expose the evil machinations of men and women in high life in that city. The State Supreme Court has sus tained Judge Gary's decision in the Columbia case where he refused to grant a writ of prohibition against the establishment of dispensaries in that city. The decision was render ed by Justice Pope, and the other two judges concurred in the opinion. The political ball is rolling and the work of organization has begun. Nearly every county in the State has called for an expression from the peo ple as suggested by what is known as the Colleton plan. Clarendon will be heard from on the 31st of this month, and every member of a Re form club should turn out to his club meeting and assist in selecting proper delegates to represent their views. This is truly a movement of the people. and for the people. There is no better way to get the views of the people than by having them to assemble at their home clubs where they know each other and feel free and unembarrassed to speak their wishes. The Reform clubs should be called together not later than the 24th inst., and it would be a good idea if the presidents of various clubs would issue their calls for meetings on that day. We do not presume to dictate,4ut as a worker in the Re form ranks we suggest to the presi dents of the Reform clubs in this county if they have not done so be fore, that they call their clubs to gether on the 24th inst., and elect one delegate for every ten members that voted in the last primary. This would give a full representation and the sentiments of the people could be obtained almost as effectually as if there was a primary. Let the con vention to assemble at the county seat on the 31st be a good one, that our opponents may see we are not indifferent and luke warm. This convention will select a man to go to Columbia to represent the Reformers of Clarendon. The man to be select ed should be one that will faithfully carry out the instructions and wishes of his people. He should be a man that can lay aside his individual views and go to Columbia to act up on and express the -sentiments of those that honored him. Clarendon is opposed - to any wrangling in our ranks and will do what it can to have peace.' The peo ple of this county are Reformers from principle, and not for the elevation or Ipromotion of any man. We want to see the Reform Movement carry out the many Reforms the State is need ing, and we believe more reforms would have been successfully accom plished had it not been for t~he un reasonable opposition of selfish poli ticians. No movement ever succeed ed that did not keep up its organiza tion. The opposition are always organized for the reason that they have no principle other than obstruc tion to battle for. Their fight is to prevent the enforcement of the laws enacted by the present administra tion, to encourage lawlessness in certain cases, and to bring the Reform Movement into dis repute. Our fight is for the upbuild ing of the State, the enforcement of law, to put down all lawlessness, and to put the State on the road to prosper ity. Our fight is based upon pure and holy motives and is bound to win. We are meeting the obstacles of the opposition and slowly but surely removing them, and if the peo ple will stand together in the future as they did the past four years, the opposition will dwindle away into in significance, and South Carolina will once more be a free and happy State. Let us all stand firmly together with our ranks closed up to keep the enemy from obtaining any advan tages, and above all things let us watch the movements of men wearing the Reform uniform, who, under that uniform, carry missles of confusion. There are some men in every county in the State having failed to accom plish their desires in the Reform Movement are disguising themselves as Reformers, and doing all in their power to disrupt the Movement. The people know such and will watch them. In some instances these men are being paid for their services, by whom we cannot say; but we believe they are getting money from certain quarters. One reason for believing this is, that the men now engaged in going through the State trying to disrupt the Reform Movement are men that are known to have no means to spare for railroad and hotel expenses. They are a class of men that need every dollar to support their families, and cannot afford to work for nothing. Now if they are being paid, and suspicion points that way, it is well for the people to seri ously consider why this outlay of money, and where is it to be returned from. Is it the purpose of those pay ing out this money to get the control of the State away from the farmers and place it in the hands of corpora tions? or do they expect ou~r farmers to sell the freedom they fbght for so hard ? Remember the days prior to 1876, and then remember that right now, in this State is a man with an in fluence so powerful as to be able to pledge a decision of Judge Simonton. That man was driven from power in '76 on account of the oppression he brought upon the people, and now there are some that want to see him again at the head of affairs. It is be yond denial that Daniel H. Chamber lain has a strong influence in certain quarters, and if our people allow themselves to become indifferent and luke warm Chamberlain and his al lies, backed up by the United States courts, bankrupt railroads and sore headed politicians will make a des perate effort to again place their op pressive heels upou the necks of the people. We are not what is termed an alarmist, nor do we indulge in holding up bug-a-boos, but from the manipulations now going on in this State, there is something more than a mere rivalry for political, honors, and it would not at all surprise us to see a eertain element of the opposition re main away from the Democratic pri mary and then give the Democracy battle in the general election. This mugwump President and his Federal appointees. Look at the promotion of Simonton, was that done for any good to the Reformers ? or was it in return for his faithful protection of railroads in the hands of receivers? Was Brawley made a judge for true and faithful services to his peoole? or was it because he stood in with the President, Radical John Sherman and Wall street? The people of South Caro'ina will not be forced by Mr. Cleveland. the Democracy wrecker, or Mr. Chamber lain, the railroad receiver, or any other enemy of the masses to relin quish the hold they now have, and which bids fair to break the shackles of oppression riveted upon them by enemies wearing the garb of friends. Aid to Equalization Boards. The Comptroller General has sent to County Auditors the following circular, which explains itself: DEAR SIR: We have sent per express blank forms for the use of the Boards of Asessors of your county in asessing the real and per sonal property of their respective townships or tax district. The Board of Assessors are expected to enter each item of taxable prop erty under its proper head opposite the name of the owner: and I would suggest al phabetical arrangements of names. If these boards will use these blanks it will enable them to keep before them the property as they assess it and thus by com parisons of values as they progress the re sults of their work will be more uniform and satisfactory to themselves ane benefic ial to the public. Our hope is to aid these Boards in their thankless work, and as far as possible se cure just, fair and equal assessments of all taxable property. While aiding these Boards we would be glad to stimulate comparisons of values and assessments by townships, which would se cure popular investigation and go far in aiding the correction of all errors by the taxpayers. Asessors and Boards of Equali zation. The property of all the townships in the county thus assessed, and results footed up, would present to the County Board of Equalizati3n concrete data and an intelligent basis for their work of equaliza. tion. Respectfully, W. H. ELLEaBE, Comptroller General. Trouble In Charleston. The people of Charleston seem to be in open rebellion against a good and sanitary law of the State. We publish the news of the trial and conviction of Constable Elliott, last Saturday, charged with slapping the face of Mrs. Nolte, whose husband was run ning a blind "tiger." Why was she not in her own apartments at the time instead of where the whiskey was sold? If it was fact that the constable struck the woman wan tonly, we cannot approve his conduct, but Governor Tillman has said that he does not believe that Elliott did what be was charged with doing. 'Ihe.same jury that convicted Elliott would not convict a whiskey seller on indisputable evidence, which shows that a Charleston jury is not controlled by evi dence. The rebellion is said to be among the Italians and whiskey-toughs in the em ploy of the Whiskey Dealers' Association, and they are no doubt encouraged by the "elite" and "cultured' people of that city, The rebellion would be a small affair if it was confined to those Italians and toughs, but they are simply the tools of those who have heretofore enjoyed incomes from the rents of bar rooms and from investments in liquor departments of grocery stores. To be deprived of these incomes enrages them, and with characterstic selfishness peculiar to Charleston aristocrasy, they thrust for ward the poor Italians to take the brunt of vi olations of law, in the desperate hope of re storing a system that trought them luxury and ease, at the same time that it carried misery, degradation and starvation to their fellow-beings. If need be, we hope Gov erner Tillmian will declare the city under martial law, and thus give those so called cultured people a strong lesson in obedience to law and order. Heretofore Charleston ans have not thought themselves amenable to law, but they nmust learn that what is law for the State must be law for Charleston.
