[Continued.] I have mentioned the dispen sary aw as one of the measures whic vill signalize the Reform Admin stration. I speak advisedly when say that no new and untried ex. >eriment n legislation has ever ained so many friends in so short , time and taken such deep root a the popular heart. The law Las como to stay, and it will de. iond on its enforcement and ad ninistration whether it shall pread to other States or not. It 3 the one question of greatest pub ic interest at this time, and I hall necessarily devote much space 0 it. The liquor dealers have resisted ts enforcement and tried to evade t by every device that cunning nd greed can suggest; and they iavo had as active sympathizers a argo proportion of the people and lihco of nearly all the cities and owns in the State. There have eon some notable and praisowor hy exceptions, and I take pleas re in montioning A bbevillo, Ches or, Edgofield and Orangeburg am ffording no aid or comfort to the [licit sollers of liquor, except dur ho time vhan the law was suspend (I by the action of the Supreme jourt. The statute, as amended by the ast Legislature, has proven very atisfactory as a means of stop. >ing the illicit traffic, but there tro some dofoct, which I shall oiiit out later on, and recommend :hanges to correct. them. As soon as the General Assem >ly adjourned and the now Dispen ary Act went into effect I set bout actively to enforce it to the etter. Detectives wero employed ,o obtain evidence, the constabu ary was increased by adding pick d nen to the force, and a vigor >us crusado begun to drive the 'blind tigers" from the State. If t had not been for the animositiei ngenered by p)olitics, and the do ormlination ot political, partisni o0 sustain 'the liquor dealers iii very way p~ossible, it is not likely lhat tihe tragedy whlich followedJ vould have over obourred. Some >f the newspapers began early in Fanuary to educate the public nind to resistance to the search ng of privat6 dwellings; and meni voe taught to b~elieve that this vas an invasion of their liberties o0 which thley should not submit, ~t is needless to show the fallacy >f this contentionl, hecause it is eadily seen that if a man may urn his 'private dwelling into a Ien from whlichl lhe can sell liquor, >r a dlepot from which to supply t, without the right to search and eize it under warrant, the law vould b~e a nullity. There is every evidence going to how that there was a preconcerted rrangemont or conspiracy, with~ ami fications in many counties, .o procipitato a confiict with the ~onstalos and by butchering then uitimlidate others from carrvinm >ut the law. Tfhe purpose of thosE lirecting the conlspiraicy was to nflaimo the public mind to such mi extent that the militia oldl~ not be0 he relied upon01 to as. iist the civil authorities and thus 'ring the law and1 State Govern. nenut into conltompht. 'rie pla*cC selocted to precipi ~ato the conflict w~as Dairlinigton, 3nie of the constalose stationed at his point reported the bold ani >pen violation of the law ahd ask nd for assistaince. Three picket nuen were sent him the last wveel n Mareh. When these four at tempted .to execute search wai rants they were hooted, jeered a and treated with every mndignit ahd for-cod to retire from .th streets to provent a conflict. telegraphed Chief Constable Gail lard, in Qharieston. to un to -Dai lington with1 which he did, carrygi igi hiAy enough men to mak..hif d in all twenty-two. Sonie ' f o these were armed with a:i-hs ters, but most of them 11ad -61' their private side arms; fie call. ad on the sheriff to assist-iii. serv ing processes and used ev'ry pos sible precaution to prevent a 9o0P flict with the citizens, and . th1 Attorney General was sent to tho. spot to advise and direct his move mfents. The conspirators had armed themselves with improved :woap ons, and had called in reiforce ments from the barkeepers aikd. their hangers-on from the neigh boriqg towns of Florence 4n4.d. Sumtor. A mass meeting of. the citizens of the three places was held in the Court House. at Dar lington and resolutions wero paes ed denouncing the soarching of private residences, under whatov or circumstances as an act of ty ranny to be resisted at all haz zards. On Thursday, the 29th, I re ceived intelligence of such a threat ening character that I wired Capt. Thompson, of the local military company, to keep his men under arms and hold himself subject to the orders of the sheriff. In a very little while I received advi ces that a mob had broken into the armory of the Darlington Guards and had taken their guns, and fearing that the local com pany could not be relied upon I ordered the Sumter Light Infan try to proceed to Darlingtoir as soon as possible by special train. This order was promptly obeyed, the company reaching there Thurs d'ay evening. The excitement among the e-iti6 zens was intense, Rnd I expoct( every inoinwit that. a conflict would be brought on ; but I insis ted that the chief constablfe an1d sheriff should complete tho sorvice of all search warrants. I was on my way to attend a meeting of the Clemson College trtustees wlhen these telegrams were sent. Fri (lay morning early, the Attoriey advising it, I ordered the Sumtor compally home. I have always regreted doing this, because I he lieve that, had they remaiiied there until the constables had left the firebrands who wero spurring the citizens on to resistance anld trying to bring on a riot, would have failed. With the conflict at the depot between the citizons and the con stables-who hadI finished their work and had gone to take the train were followed by the citizens and the riot brought on in which two citizens were killed and two( wounded, and one constable killed and two wounded, one very ser iously-every one is familiar. The whiskey rebellion had broken out in full fury, and for twenty-four hours men held their breaths, not only in this State but throughout the whole United States, for it ap peared that we were on the verge of civil war. Fearing trouble, 1 had cut short my visit to Clemson and hurried home Friday. I had scarcely reached the Executive mansion when, at 5 o'clock p. mn., I receiv od a dispatch announcing the ter rible tragedy. And then the con spiracy, which had its origin in the false teaching of the newvspa pers, began to unfold itself. Dis patches flew thick and~ fast, and ~ nto every town and hnmlet4 in the Stato reached by a telegraph wire the news flashed that the consta bles hiad provoked the conflic, ,d1 shot dlown the citizens in dold blood, and~ were being p~ursue(d by two hundrod armedI men, to be lynched when caught. To me there was but one( courso open and that was to restore oidor and have the law obeyodl. 1 im medIately provided a special train to leave Columbia for the scone of the disturbance and ordered the three companies ini this city, the c company at sumter and the comn pany at Manning to got ready. -The orders were extended to Gon. t Farley and to Col. Willie Jones y and they were urged to hurry. oThe -conspirators in this city, Iwhich seems to have immediately Lbecome headquarters, set actively ,to work to nadnan the soldiers fron, r4& ~y~of tho.00 parmr te Goverujor's flanamatory ; epb4 00adile maniy whi4 Y fkeely 8ekn for' the afe himself.
