Mr. Kohn, one of the correspon dents of the News and Conrier, who was in Darlington during the recent trouble, made a very great mistake when he said that the colored people were indifferent abont the sad trag edy in which two of oar citizens were murdered. If he had seen some of the best and most intelligent col ored nun of the town gathering at the depot, on that sad afternoon, with arms in their hands, be would never have done them the injustice of saying they were indifferent They were jnsf, the reverse and if any of those spies had fallen iuto their hands they would never have seen another sun rise. In addition to this quite a number of our colored fellow citizens remained all night with a squad that were trying to overtake the murderers. This action on their |tart was not actmiited by op]*» ilion to the Dispensary, bnt on ncv'tOit of ihv indignation they felt at toe murder j>f two of our citizens Their action woe spontaneous and not the result of solicitation from any one, and is very highly to their credit. It showed, too. their appre ciation of the declaration of the white citizens that their homes should he protected from invasion. Pastaffice Aeraants in a MnMIc. For several days pad one of the posloffice inspectors has lieen making a thorough examination into the ao counts of the postoffice at this place, the result on which was the arrest, on Wednesday morning, of Mr. J. H. Schmid who, up to several months ago, was in charge of the books and the money order depart- nlent. Mr. J. G. Gatlin, the recent incambent of the office, which has jnst been turned over to the new post master, Mr. A. A. Gandy, has been an invalid for a long time, and in consequence has had to entrust the duties of the office to his subordi nates. So far as we can gather the defalcation occurred without the knowledge of Mr. Gatlin or any of the other employees of the office, although it is probable that he or his bondsmen will have to make good the amount of the shortage, which i* supposed to be about §1,000. Mr. Schmid was given a prelimi nary hearing before U. S. Commis sioner H. E. P. Sanders and the evidence against him was of such a nature as to make the commissioner bind him over to appear for trial at the next session of the U. S. District Court.

Dargan in ar resting' the spies, Cain and Mc- Knight, at Snmter, was in the high est degree commendable, and deserves the sincere thanks of the people of onr town. It is bnt jnst to say that Col.- Dargan applied to the sheriff, trial justice, mayor and chief of police to make the arrest and on their faiiure'to respond, accompanied by two other citizens, he arrested them himself and turned them over to the sheriff. That they were al lowed to leave Snmter before any ac tion could he taken by the Darling ton people was no f«ull of his, us it was done by other parlies. The danger inc : dent to the arrest of two heavily armed men by a posse of three might well have deterred some people from making an attempt of this kind, hut a man like Col.

C.—Dear Sir: I notice in an interview with the World correspondent in Colum bia, which is published in the issne of the World of this date, yon say: “Dispenser Floyd seems to have made himself obnoxious, and when that dispensary starts it will be with a new man.” Yon have perhaps forgotten the circumstances under which 1 was selected dispenser at Darlington. The town was opposed to the law and the establishment of a dispen sary, and yon well know that it was mainly through my influence that the requisite number of names was obtained on the petition. I was not then considered by you obnoxious, but was selected on the. ground of my availability. Permit me then to ask the ques tion, when was it, then, that yon discovered that I was obnoxious ? It seems that in your opinion that something has occurred to make me so, and I am at a loss to divine what it is. My leaving Darlington at the time I did was not a desertion of my post of duty, (for yon had ordered me to close the dispensary,) hut sim ply an act of self preservation in spired by the surroundings and by the advice of trusted friends. Anything I have said in the news papers was not intended to antagon ize either the Conservatives or Re formers. and could not make one “obnoxious J ’ To remove me because I was ob noxious seems to me an insufficient and unjustifiable ground, because at the time of my appointment you well knew that the Conservatives were not only displeased hut yiolent- ly opposed to my selection, and I was odions to them. To say I am obnoxious to the “Reformers” does not accord with my knowledge of the sentiment of the “Reformers” of Darlington county. For yon should remember that with the Conseryatives of the State you are obnoxious would furnish a strong reason for your impeachment The injustice of my removal on the ground you state is, therefore, apparent If I have rendered my self obnoxions to the people of Darlington it has been by faithfully obeying your orders. You are then in part, responsible for it Now you evade this responsibility and by yonr desertion of me not only bring me in disrepute with Reformers, but cruelly injure me. This is poor en couragement to yonr friends. Of course if I am removed I bow submissively to the will of the Execu tive who has ti e power to displace, but in this act of removal I feel that there is the exercise of an nnjust and tyrannical power. So fur as the dispensary law is concerned I have favored it and its due execution, bnt I am satisfied now that the public sentiment of the State will never acquiesce in its rigid enforcement The opposition engendered to it can not be peaceably overcome. With these convictions it is perhaps, best that I should no longer be officially connected with its enforcement Very respectfully your obedient servant, J. Buckner Floyd, Dispenser Darlington County. with Mr. McLanrin’s reflections on the recent troubles in the State. We differ from him politically, bnt the expressions quoted above show \cry conclusively that he has made himself acquainted with the true condition of affairs and is in thor- ongh sympathy with the people in their determination to preserve the sanctity of their homes. What he says is highly creditable both to his head and heart and de serves the sincere approbation of our people. His candor and truth is in striking contrast to the condnct of Senator Irby, who made haste to publish a whole string of falsehoods in regard to the trouble. Kotlce to the Public at Large.

(J. Nouxent. Dixon’s Mistateaents. “The War in South Carolina” was the subject of Rev. Thomas Dixon’s prelude at the Twenty-third Street Baptist Church yesterday. He said: “The law of South Carolina prom ises to give the death-blow to the saloon. Knowing this, the liquor men not only of I hat State hut of New York as well, are arrayed in deadly opposition to u fearless, just and honest Governor, who is seeking to perform Ids duty to the people. Natu'-vlly we hear the eamo old twoc de about invading the private rigid of citizens. If we admit the right of a man to debauch and cor rupt his fellow-men, to ruin homes and scatter, families, then private rights have been invaded in South Carolina, and Goy. Til'man has been the leader of the invaders. If we deny this right, Gov. Tillman bus done his duty fearlessly and well, and praise and credit are dne him.” —New York World. It would be extremely difficult for the most unscrupulous reporter to make any more misstatements than the above article contains. For the information of those who are not familiar with Mr. Dixon’s reputation we will say that he is a native of North Carolina, a sensationalist of the first order who delivers political harangues and dignifies them with the name of sermons. He is never so happy us when slandering the people of his own section, and has just about us little claim to he re garded as a preacher of the (lospvl as Gov. Tillman has to lie considered a law-abiding and peace-loving execu tive. At the coronation of Mr. Till man as Czar of South Carolina, Mr. Dixon would make a line man for court chaplain. himself quite freely on the present riots there. The Dispensary law is, according to Mr. McLauriu, a bobby of Governor Tillman. The people of the State were tor prohibition bnt not for such Dispensary legislation. The people arc mostly of a thrifty Scotch or English descent, and they now see how foolish the present law, rnshed hastily through the legisla ture, k, especially as it involves a right of search and an invasion of their liberties such os South Caro linians, of all people iu the world, will not tolerate. When the present law was passed at Goyeruor Till- j» man’s bidding there was a great out cry in its favor. Not only did it suit the prohibitionist feeling, but it gave promise of yielding such large taxes that no other Suite levies it was thonght would be needed. Now that the people realize what the re sult is, to foster a right of inquisi tion and an invasion of private premises, besides a system of espion age, they are up in arms. It is jnst what might have been expected, bnt it is nevertheless very deplorable. a * * a a a Mr. McLaurin says that one rea son yvhy the present troubles in South Carolina cause him such deep regret is because there is a general misapprehension concerning the Soutli Carolinian character‘prevail ing very widely which the present outbreak will serve to still further exaggerate. The people of his State are not fire-eaters or hot-blooded. They are of sturdy Anglo-Saxon or Huguenot French descent fur the' most pait, and would never think of violence under utdinary circum stances. But they are like the peo ple of Massachusetts, ready on suffi cient provocation to declare loudly in ile’euse of their rights. The law so hastily passed was one of the kind which causes u Jack Cade rebellion or a whiskey resolution in I'euusyl- vafiia, and the people of the State arc biilTcring iu couscqcnce in a way they do not deserve. ****** The above we clip from the Wash ington Times, and it affords us siu- verti pleasure to parent our readers Table spoonsiiierdoz) Des’t forks, per (loz| Table forku, per doz| Sugar apoone, each' •Icily spoons, each Fan sp >o.is, each Fair saUapoons Fuller knives, each Gravy ladles, each Cream ladles, each Piekel forks 24.00| 3o.0<> 19.00 23.00 24 00 65.00 1.50 2,50 2.00 2.75 2.00 8.25 2.00 2.511 2.35 8.25 4.50 5.00 2.2‘i 8 25 1.50 3.001 • 15.U0 28.50 41.00 28.50 41.00 3.50 8.50 4.00 3.00 4.00 6.00 4.50 3.00 BUSINESS, NOT GAS!
