NE WBERRY. S. C. MESMY. JULY 19, 1893. THs T.OOKS BAD. The State's spies have broke loose in Charlestoa and on Saturday the first arrest was made by them of a man for selling whiskey after the Dispensary law had gone into effect. The party hauled in is a man named Chicco. No doubt the accounts of the affair in the newspapers are overdrawn, but the fol lowing is taken from the Sunday News and seems to be a statement of Chicco himself: Chicco called at the News and Cou rier office last night and requested that the following statement should be pub lished so that the Christian commuuity of Charleston may see how outrage ously he has been treated by the officers of the law: "About 10.30 in the morning, said he, some seventeen men came into my store, ransacked the bar, but found nothing but rice beer. I took them up stairs and showed them all the rooms except my bed room, in which my wife was lying in bed at the time in a delicate condition, when any disturb ance would be dangerous to her. The door was locked. The constables de manded that the door be opened, and threatened that if it were not opened they would break it down and drag her and all other women on the prem ises to the guard house. They ran sacked the bed room and found no thing. "In the next room were some liquors and wine and beer that had been sold before the first of July to N. Fontana and to A. Gardla. The constables took it all away and then took all the cigars and maccaroni, breaking open the cigar boxes and filling their pockets. I missed a gold watch and chain that was behind the bar also. "My wife is very sick and Dr:Simons and a midwife will give certificates to that effect. The fright occasioned by the rough entrance of seventeen men in her bed room and the threat to drag her to the Guard House made her worse." Now this looks bad. This man should not bave violated the law but because he did and did sell a little beer, we see no reason why his family should be outraged and treated in this way by those whose duty it is to see that the law is enforced. These same spies who arrested him had gone to his place and induced him to sell them the beer for the purpose of entrapping him. He should not have been taken in, but when once caught, such treatment as here described does not sound nice to a free and a liberty loving_ people, to a people who have been taught that a man's house is his castle, and all that sort. We do not believe the people ought to violate this or any other law, but we have an inexpressible contempt for any such system of spies as has been inaugurated to capture violators of the law, and-any law which makes. it ne cessary to have such system of espion onage is unworthy to have a place on the Statute books of a free and liberty loving people. We do not believe the people of South Carolina will long tol erate such a system. If the law can not be enforced without such a system, ,it should be blotted from the books and the.page turned down forever. It wiil not be a proud heritage to leave our children. We do not know what to think of any man who will hire himself for a few paltry dollars to act as aspy. He must feel himself scarcely a freeman. We are not advising the violation of the law. We believe in respecting all law, but when a law has to be enforced by such a system, it is a poor recomn mendation for the law to say the least. "Governor Tillman has violated the law and is liable to impeachment. The Legislature appropriated nothing for the use of the Dispensary. The Governor has contracted debts in the name of the State to the amount of more than $300,000. The power of ap 'propriating money rests in the legisla tive, and not the executive branch of the government."-Spartanburg Herald. We have heard pretty much the same thing several times and must confess that the stock of goods on hand at the Dispensary and the outlay of machinery and fixtures now used there, represents to our mind many more dol lars than the comparatively small ap propriation of $50,000 in the Evans bill. The Governor has no right to use the credit of the State in his Dispensary purchases and it will soon be time for our Executive to show his hand in this matter. As Fagan Martin would say : Watch ! Yes, watch the bill that goes into the next Legislature and keep your eagle eye on the amount asked for Dispensary purposes. Then and not until then can we correctly calcu late upon what has been done-Col umbia Journal. We did not suppose there was or could be any question about the State or the Dispensary spending more money than the appropriation of the Legislature. Mr. Traxler told us that one order-tbe first-amounted to over $100,000 and the orders for glassware were about $25,000. Why he said the credit of the State was unbounded and they could get all the goods they wanted. There can be no doubt that four or five times the legislative ap propriation have been expended in fix ing up the Dispensary and buying the stuff. The Alliance will hold its annual meeting now in a few days at Wal halla. From all reports it would seem that the Populist is going to be on top. Gov. Tillman's strength with the Al liance seems to be growing. Whether that meanis he leans towards the Popu list idea or not we will not say. Judg ing by the past we would be forced to conclude that the Governor would bend his opinion whichever way was necessary in order to have the influence of the order to help him promote his own ends. It evidently looks as if President Donaldson was doomed, and only because he is a Cleveland Demo crat. The sooner the issue is clearly made the better it will be for us, for then we may be able to find out just where we are at. It is coming. The issue will be Democratic principles or Third party principles. Fort Hill is one place where the Ad ministration ought not and does not desire a dispensary. No liquor is to be had at Clemson on the Hill. The hearing of the cases against the Charleston barkeepers was postponed on Monday until yeterday.j Senator Irby's reply to Gen. Farley is exceedingly mild and dignified. This we are glad to see. He brings witnesses to substantiate his position, but inas much as Capt. J. H. Tillman played so important a part in the statements of Senator Irby we wondered at the time why the Senator did not secure his evi dence on the question. But now the Captain says he is going to have something to say himself, and intimates that he will make it lively for the Senator. And then Gen. Farley says he Is loaded too and will have more to say. Well, things are getting mighty lively and we contemplate with some degree of wonder and amaze ment how even the placid waters of Reform are getting as muddy as Colum bia 's drinking water and as turbulent as a raging ocean. Some useless offices aught to have been lopped off and there would not have been so much to quar rel over. It is none of our fight, and as we have never been initiated into the grand mysteries and beauties of Reform, we can only view the battle from afar. In fact abattle appears much more grand and magnificent when so viewed any way. In the meantime, we promise to keep our readers posted on all the grand attacks as well as the flank movements, that is, in so far as we are able. Let the next act proceed. What we voted for-Prohibition. What we were given-Dispensation. W hat some of us asked for-Injunction. What all of us will pay for-Litigation. About year ago we heard some inti mation that an ardent admirer was en gaged in writing a history of the great Reform movement. Latterly we have heard nothing of it. Possibly he has decided to call his work "The Rise and Fall of Reform in South Carolina" and is waiting just a little while until the cycle is complete. We hope he will not take as long as did Gibbon to write the "Rise and Fall of the Roman Em pire," for we are a little anxious to se cure a copy of the new history. Will son.,ebody who knows, tell us what has become 6f this history. That was a very ugly affair over in Laurens last week, and the statements so far made do not show up our United States Senator Irby in a very favorable light. We are sorry of this. Somehow or other people have an idea that a man occupying the position of Senator Irby ought to be sort of an example, as it were, to lesser mortals, but in this case it looks as if he were aiding to smother up a crime and one of the most heinous nature. One for which most ordinary mortals meet summary death by hanging to the nearest limb. It is too bad. Why should this man go free anyway when others guilty of a similar offense are speedily punished. But the ugliest part of the whole af fair is the writing by some one, and the getting of poor, ignorant Mr. Fuller to sign it, of a card in which he says the whole thing was an incident, and an old friend of the family had only been guilty of a little indiscretion. If that is true why should money be paid and why should old man Davenport resign and pull himself so speedily out of the State. It is all very, very, bad and we are very much surprised to see Senator Irby one of a party trying to smother the whole thing up. H. Q. Evans, son-in-law of General Weaver, has been appointed Chief of Division in the office of the Second Auditor of the Treasury. Here, is what may be called the magnanimity of politics, as Mr. Evans is a Populist and his father-in-law was the Populist candidate for President in the last election. The injunction in the Walterboro dis pensary case Bas been dismissed by Judge Aldrich. Judge Gary decided that he had no jurisdiction in the Co lumbia case, and the Richland board of control has appointed one dispenser for Columbia, with the probability of one more soon. The Greenville in junction case had not been decided up to yesterday. E. BROOKs sLIGH. The suit Against him for Perjary Dbis mused by Judge Miller. [From the News and Courier.] The dispatch from here relative to my arrest on Saturday, July 1, which appeared in your paper Sunday, July 2, was substantially correct with the ex ception that I was not "behind the bars." I took a buggy after having the warrant served on me and drove to po lice headquarters, and when I appeared before Judge Miller was released on my own bond. When the case was called for trial some days later Judge Miller promptly dismissed the case with a reprimand to the prosecution to the effect that his court was not one to be used by any one to vent spleen and personal grudges against another. I had some parties here arrested last April for stealing cer tain goods of mine, and succeeded in recovering them. They afterwards claimed that I had left them there of my own accord, and out of this grew my arrest for "perjury," more than two months after it is alleged to have oc urred. As you published the beginning of this suit I trust you will do me the kindness and justice to give space in your columns to this, the result of it, as everyone here understands it, but they do not in South Carolina. Respectfully, E. BRooKs SLIGH. Washington, D. C., July 12. MORE A RRESTS MADE. he Dispensary Constables Hard at Work in Charleston. CHARLESTON, S.

THE "PAY BY WORK" IDEA A DELSION -A WARNING TO YOUNG 31ES. CLE5.SO . COLLEGE, July 15.-The attendance at Clemson is nearing the three hundred and fifty mark and has already grown to be as large as many of the trustees cared for. It was thoughit that for the first year it would be better to have a somewhat smaller attend ance. But Clemson has caught the people and it is on the road to high success. In previous articles I have attempted to show what there really isi at "Clemson on the Hill." It might be. well just here to indicate, for the bene fit of those who contemplate taking a course at Clemson, what it will cost lhem, what they will be expected to study, and principally that it is a finan cial impossibility to pay your way through Clemson by working on the farm or in tile shops. It cannot be done. Jt need not be attempted. The faculty do not want you to try it, and indeed President Craighead will advise you not to try it, but to remain at home, work for wages anl then come to Clemson. Do not go there with a few dollars-not enough to buy books -and expect to work your way through. Remember that your time has to be spent in class room work and study, and that two or three hours' work for "wages" is as much as you can do. Clemson's course is well worth the money, and while the working system is a help, it cannot be counted on for every expense. A BILL OF EXPENSES.

DEJIEDLY AN UtNSA1O MUS.S. rhe I,avnport Case in Laurens -Narrative by a Man who Seems to Know the Facts-Senator Irby's Part In Conpounding a Felony. [From the Greenville News.1 LAURENS County, S. C., July 14.-I ,ropose to give you some facts and iothing but established facts connected ith the greatest disgrace and scandal hat has ever befallen poor, unfortunate Laurens county. If this shame could bave been concealed or covered up as a "bidden mystery" it would have been better for the honor and fair name of Laurens. It is not with jocular feelings )r in a spirit of hilarity, gloating over :he downfall of my fellow man, that I )en the truth of this unfortunate scan lal. The patriotic Englishman of noble )irth will exclaim "God save the lueen!" I, an humble citizen of Lau -ens county, exclaim, "God save my :ounty!" God save the virtue of our >ure, innocent and beautiful women! Jod save them from the hand of the lestroyers of virtue! God save them rom the machinations of corrupt and lepraved politicians! Of all the misfortunes that have ever Aotted the fair name of Laurens coun :v the Davenport scandal is the most itter pill that she has ever been forced .o swallow. What are the facts in the case? An iged school commissioner nearly 70 rears of age, a man once held in the .ighest repute; a man elected to a high )ffice of honor and trust; a man se ected to watch over and superintend :he educational interests of his county; o guide and direct the many fair, pure tnd model young lady teachers-that man accused and the accusations >roven beyond the shadow of a doubt )f crossing the sacred threshold of an iumble citizen and attempting by vio ence to destroy the chastity of his oung and pretty wife only about six een years of age. This young woman vas once the pupil of this old depraved chool commissioner, whose name is L. P. Davenport, which name he has ried to shadow with a dark and black tigma, for the name an~1 family are tmong the best in Laurens county. The victim of this assault, Mrs. S. W. Fuller, testified in substance that Davenport came to her home while her iusband was absent working on his 'arm, and she was preparing to get linner. That he hitched his horse ome distance from her house, came in Lnd made improper proposals to her. * * * * * * * 3he screamed and he (Davenport) ran Lway. When her husband came home ;he informed him of the conduct of Davenport. He (her husband, S. W. Fuller,) got ier father, a Mr. Benjamin, and they tarted to Laurens to get a warrant for )ld man Davenport. On their way to own (and here comes another dark ide of this picture) they met J. D. M. 3haw and told him their business. Shaw old them that it would never do to xpose this matter; that J. L. M. Irby South Carolina'8 model and distin 7uished Senator; words and italics nine) was down at his (Shaw's) house; o come and go back there and he and Irby would settle the matter. They eturned to Shaw's house and Shaw ind Irby held a consultation. They (Shaw and Irby) then told the party, Fuller & Co., to retire and de .ide what would satisfy them in the matter. Fuller & Co., after consulta ;ion, decided that $100 hush money would satisfy all parties, pay for the ittempted violation of the virtue of his wife. and all things would work as merry as the mnairiage bell. Shaw and [rby agreed to the proposition and said cash $50 and executed a note igned ny Shaw and endorsed by Irby 'or $50 more to pay damages. This 20te has been publicly exhibited signed >y J. D. M. Shaw and endorsed by J. [U. M. Irby. But, unfortunately for the parties mgaged in this disreputable transac ;ion, there is another woman in the sase-the old lady Benjamin-the girl wife's mother. This old woman, God less her, would submit to no such irty, black, nasty, villanous sale of 2er daughter's honor and virtue. She raised cain and has kept the whole natter brewing and astewing until the wole country is aroused and indigna :ion meetings are being held. An indignation rheetinig was held at iount Pleasant last Wednesday after 2oon and resolutions were introduced -equiring Davenport to resign his >lice, leave the State in forty-eight iours and never return. These resolu ions accused Davenport of attempted eduction, when from the testimony of VIrs. Fuller the crime was attempted 1ape and nothing else. It is needless. ~o say that the chairman of the meet ng, Oscar Cunningham, was a heart tnd soul symipathizer of Irby, Shaw, )avenport & Co. But the brave, :hivalric manhood of Laurens county was aroused, both Tillmanite and anti 'illmanite, and they would agree to no uch resolutions. Thbe meeting on re ~eiving information that S. W. Ful er, the busband of the unfortunate ady, had sent a card to the Laurens Herald denying that old man Daven >ort had made any improper proposals, >r assault upon his wife, he (Fuller) was required to take the stand and nake a statement. He then and there lid state publicly that the charges gainst Davenport were true in toto, wd that he was induced to sign a pa. >er denying the truth of the charges, td as he was a poor ignorant fellow, i did not know what sort of a paper e put his name to, but if it was con radictory to thelestimouy of his wife ie had signed "a lie bill'' and would so ublish to the world in the next Her Ld. This somewhat allayed the tern >er of the crowd and the meeting was djourned to meet to-day (Friday) at 2 clock. The darkest side of this picture, if it as a darker side, was the forcing, per. uading or inducing by any means of his ignorant fellow to sign this paper or publication, which article appeared esterday in the Laurensville Herald. am reliably informed that John M. ludgens, president of the Laurens ~outy Alliance, did write this article or S. W. Fuller to sign for publication. f this be true, God save the alliance ! I can not attend the meeting at fount Pleasant this evening, but am nformed that a desperate eff'ort will be nade to hush, smother or cover up the hole affair to save certain potiticians. f this is done, I repeat : God save our ountry. This is not a Tillmanite or an anti illmanite political affair. The ques ion is the virtue and honor of our fair ,nd beautiful women, our homes, our iresides, our earthly paradise. As anly, as noble, as pure, as brave a teart beats in the bosom of the Till annite as the anti-Tillmanite. We are 1l South Carolinians, and our name lone should make us join heart and and and bear with pride our heritage he synonym of bravery and chivalry. ay God guide and direct them and mper al their meetings with pru-. ence, moderation and wisdom. I will state here, most emphatically, at there is not one particle of evi ence brought out in this case, after borough investigation, that places a tain upon the virtue and character of is young girl wife, Mrs. S. W. Ful r. There is an effort to circulate ru iors of this kind by interested partiee -another mean, dark, black phase of 1s blackest and darkest of crimes. urely the ashes ni Calhoun, Hayne d McDuffie will either rise from their raves with renewed life, or their im-. tortal spirits will hove'- as sa darK adow over the seat on-" occu'pied by ese immortal heroes, when that seat again disgraced by J. L. M. Irby, nited States Senator from South Caro na. Very respectfully, CARoLINIAN." The following appeared in the Lau A STATEMENT TO THE PUBLIC. "I want to say to the public that as damnaging rumors are being industri ously circulated about an incident that occurred at my house some days ago, that the most of these rumors are lies and have no foundation in facts. While there was some indiscretion by an old friend and teacher, both of myself and wife, the matter has been satisfactorily adjusted between us by mutual friends. We are satisfied, and think the public should be. So far as my receiving any money in this matter is concerned, I will say that I made no demand for money. My father and father-in-law fixed that ; and as I had left it to them I accepted their settlement. S. W. FULLER. July 10th, 1893." Good-bye, MNr. Porter.
