Tt.?rT?/imAtT C Z"1 A nnl J. \f kVOT JJAAIJ:?X ujluj . v.! , - - | Daraan was Interviewed thi ^ morn'na: on the speecn maie by Governor Tillman to the troops yesterdav. Mayor Dargan is an intelligent and fiie looking m&n. This is wbat he said to the reporter^: "I have eeen the Governor's remarks published in the Columbia Evenir.o Journal. I have not much to say. You know the Governor is a politician, a^d he was making a campaign spseh. Wh? n ? nolitip.ian eets in a hole he naturally tries to get cut and if he has committed a mistake he is the last man under the gun to honestly own it. He tries to put it on some one else. "There are one or tro inaccurate statements of minor importance wh'ch I do not like to pass ever withcui correcting. He says speaking of constables, that "they had hewn seot there because the maycr had allowed them to be insulted and cursed to their faces." If the Governor was so informed that I, that I, as mayor, had allowed that, his informant is just a liar. This is the first ioformatioa 1 have ever received of such a charge. He says again, "two boys, mere striplings, got into a 2ght, and soon fi&7 men armed to the teeth went to the depot and picked a quarrel with the con ar-.A m?n .tn Krtt.h iidfis were auu JLU^U vu. MVv?? killed." I don't know who informed film of this, bat who ever did just lied and knew he lied wbeu he give such information. Aszain be aavs: '-The fault cannot be clearly placed, and possibly never wili be known " The Governor is s very badly informed man if he lays that flittering unction to his soul, asd I ; venture the prediction that he will fiod the fault clearly placed and that it will r,e fuund that the constables simply d:d anything else but their dutv. "You will find I never said, as hrstates, tbat the Governor tiad ex*rcied power that no Governor bad ever attempted; bat I say it now, and I think 0 -- that facts well known to the people of South Carolina bear out my statement. But what I did say was ''Governor Tillman assumes that his spies have privi leges that are not eoj >ved by anv other citizens ol this S^ate," and I will add, prilviJeKes that even he dots not ei j >v. 'I notice than the Governor Ties u> get in an April j )ke. Well, I hope be eDjoyedit. It does look a liule fuon} that after all this fu33 and fathers * the cbief officer ot the State would march his troops up the hill and then mam them down again. That is a j->ke we have enjoyed very much these serious times, but 5 it doe? look funny that the Governor and bis friends go to so much trouble to trv and get.his constables out of the hands ot 1 mm/-r trv firrl i hftm pcupio WUU <*CiC LLKJU tlj Ul?, wv uuu vwv.w j and I reckon it is a good thing they diri i not, because had they done so. possioh | some good citizens wou^d have had to die before these spiesjbu tut* das'.. "I notice that he asked the qaeslion. "why did tbey not lynch the man they bad in their power, who whs ad uiited to be. intberow?" I will tell vou whj; because we sre not lynchers, we are nyv cutthroats nor robbers. We are South Carolinians. We fLjht a mao as loos as be is up, but we never bit the man that is down. We don't fi.ht that way, and that is the reason thai; man was not lvnched. "I know pretty well what Governor Tillman wanted ns to do. I understand him very well. He Is not the first politician I have seen. Tbe Governor would have liked cur people in their rage to have murdered this man McLendon, who I am informed boasts ot the fact that he has killed three other men. He would uave liked us to have destroyed the dispensary because then there would have been two facts which he could have pointed to as a justification,cf.his unpre ceaented course in this whole matter, but thack God, our people are not of that sort. Tbey are made of different stuff fr< m what he imagines, and we congratulate ourselves today that the man tfcLsndon (who. I am satisfied, will be pbown to have brcuaht on ths bloodshed) having been shot down and thereby disabled from making bis escape, and thrown into our hands helpless, has been treated as all helpless men are, and as wounded men are by civilized people. This action stands cu'. in a startling and stiiking contrast to the action ot Lis Otdtn nfflr>orc offfin it anriAnra from the facts, shot the body of poor Frank Norment after be was down, in four different places with Winchester rifles, and our chief of police, discharging bis duty. That was enough to "hre the blood oi ago and make the infant sinews strong as steel," but cool heads were here and possessed by men who were not politicians, who were not looking for votes, who were not playing to tickle-the fancy of crowds and reason bad full sway. "Yes, I know now, after that speech ot the Governor, that he wanted us to de stroy the State property, but I am thankful to say that it, with all property of the town of Darlington, has Seen protected and i3 intact today. Oar people only wish that the lives of our fellow citizens, now lying cold and stiff, were as well preserved. "The Governor is a cuncu3 kind of individual. There is one peculiar and strinking thing about him?he judges everybody by himself. When he wants information about anything he never goes to the man who is charged with knowing the state of affairs, unless that u: 1: ^ man is eiiuer a uilcnua ui u o ul uuc "> his own peculiar p litical faith. He would take information given him by a bootblack if he beloDsed to his party about tbe condition of a munic-pality ratner than the information furnished him by the officers of it. I al ways, wheD I want information, go to the man whose peculiar duty it is to have cht^e of the concern which I wish to inquire of, and waste no time seeking information trorc people who have no character, knowledge or standing. "In tbe commencement ot thi3 matter, if the Governor hsd not been judg ing me by himself, bad wished information about the status at Darlington, j had addressed his communications to tr.pi who am chraged ujder tbe law with the admnistiation of the affairs of the Slate, he wculd have been informed accurately and truthfully of the I situatios, tut instead ot that it appears trom the telegrams I saw published, that he gave full credence 10 his hireling of a dispenser over here, J. B. j Floved, who in the administration of the affairs of this town is absolutely as nothing. Ifl could not have been relied or; or if he had information that fmm rriT7 r?h?r?pt*r and Rtannin? he could not trust me to give him reliable Information, surely he could have sought information from some gentleman ot standing and respectability in tb'.s community. He did not choose to do so, and that occasions his many mistakes and blunders made in this matter. "Xo one is frightened by all tbis bluff and bluster of the Governor's and no one tears bim or anything he can do, LUC luiuiaui^o* JL w^'uu I-UVJ j are all very much afraid of bim. I do i not think anyboy else is." I f THEO'HERS'D?. M?* or Dxrga", OI DarUne'Oi, Makes the St t m ">t Darlington, S C, April 2 ?As the position of the people of Dirlinetoa lies cot fully understood, The Xews and Courier's special correspoud^nt has gotten the following concise statement from Mayor D*rgan, chairman of the advisory committee. Mayer Dargan said: "The trouble in this matter is that Governor Tillman assumes that nis constables enjoy privileges or have privil*-g?-s that are not enjoyed by *ay other citizen of this state, nrof tuese Uai'^d States, aud uot jK;ssrssrd by any ju *2e on ihe ritacb, or e?ea he prescient or these United States, *hi :a is tnat by rrsison (*r x.^co coustabif-s they -an, with impueity, shoot dowfl ci' la-ns of toe commonwealth and b es-mpt from arrest under the law.

The fact is t hat th?-y ha\t shut to death two of (he ci'iz^DS of the sta-eot South Cirohai and wounded several othtis.

"Posses were immediately organized as his been done time and again, and ! pursuit commenced as sooa as possible. "They were armed as best they could be under the circumstances, because they knew that they had an organized body of desperase men arm?d wi h most improved weapons to encounter. As a matter of fact, I ha<1 no idea tnat t.hactf nunsrables would be willingly ar rested or would be williri? to submit to the authority of the l.*nd, becausa Governor Tillman had insirueu-d them to shoot dowu the citizens whenever they interfered with them, and he caused these ii'sixuctious to be published to the ftorld.at-d I did not except that our posse would even wish or desire to arresi tsem, but rhat they would, if caugi .t up wit.i, fiiht to a finish.

Tillman jesierclay Issued the following proclamation: State of South Carolina. Executive chamber, Columbia, S. C, April 3.1894. Whereas Section 519 of the General Statutes ot tbi? State declares that "Tne Governor shall have authoriry, whenever in his judgment it skull be necessary, to arm the constabulary, and in any emergency to assume the sole control of the whole or any part of the municipal police in cines and incorporated towns, ar d to authorize the Chief a*-' m*> Qrof-a nr unv "Dp?lVlf.V VytIOM#UiC \J i. ? vv- j v i ^ ~? ^ Chief Constable, to command assistance in the execution of process, suppressing rio's and in preserving the peac^.'' And. whereas, it is made the duty of, and the power is given, said police to enforce the Statute, known as tbe"Dlspens ry Law" but that instoad of obeying the requirements of said law the said police,except in a very few towns, have oeen an obstruction and are active aiders and abettors of those who are defviae the law. And, where as, under the same St<nute, the Governor is given the po.ver to appoint State Constables for the purpose of its enforcement. And, whereas, the rebellious and lawless elements of society have hounded and insulted these officers a>.d sedulously educated the public mind to resistance, causing several encounters resulting in bloodshed between constables and illicit whiskey sellers, producing luieusd CAuiw-Luruo and danger to the peace and welfare of the State. Now, therefore, I, Benjamin R. Tillman, G-.-9rnor of tne State of South Carolina, do issue this my Proclamation, giving full and official notice to the municipal authorities of every city and incorporated town in the State r-f South Carolina and to the police and marshals thereof, that, under the powers given me by said Section 519, 'he emergency contemplated has arisen and does now exist, and that I do here.by assume sole control of the whole force of municipal police and marshals of the several cities and incorporated to?vns of this State. Thev are nereby ordered to enforce all laws on the Statute Books, together with ail rauni!cipal ordiuancis and orders from municipal authorities not inconsistert TOir.r> the rmrnoses of this Droclamatlon. As soon as i tie emergency wrr.ch is dow upon us shall no longer exist I will relinquish control and respire the former status. IS. E. Tillman, Governor. By the Governor: w?'d<nj e ic >ur?fm*nt.

This is no longer a 'theory,' but a condition demonstrated by the experience ct mal'itudts id every cotton producing country in the South last year, and demonstrated oy every cotton planter's experience before the war. In this region, and in no other m trie woria, cau we mase a thoroughly good living on the cotton plantation and make cotton as a surplus crop, and it is all important thawe do this, :<nd that v\e meet the world's demand as to quantity, for this will ultimately result iu Southern monopoly, Southern independence of foreign supply markets and a degree of prosperity that no other country ever has enjoyed." This is the wbole situation compactly and sensibly expressed.

The Augusta Chronicle says, in speaking of the action of The military m refusing to respond to the call of the Governor, '.'here seems a lack of reason for the course of a parr or tne military in reIusid? to ?0 to D jrlicmton.

Tne Chronicle is right.

Tiie New Yors Mail and Express snys: ''Without pissing on the merits otihe Tillman Dispensary statute.it seems to b? clear that it is a law, and as long as it is such it should be obeyed by the people of the State. The action of the citizens of Darlington is therefore equivalent to rebellion against State autborltv." The Mall and Express tben rc-ads us this lecture: "Perhaps after the white people of South Caro liRa have had a little experience among themselves of the evil results of mob violence the lesson which should have been taught them long ago win oe wetter apprecia- ed." The SivanQiiii Morning News says: "Will the Governor be able to force compliance with that law? Tnat Is a question that is doubtless in the miuds of many of South Carolina's people now.

The Jacksonville Times Union says: I Probably neither side is responsible for I the scenes at D?rllngton. Whoever was responsible, enough blood has been shed?too much by far. And the con duct of the millltary companies in refusing to go to the scenes of riot is reprelensible beyond the power of words to express. South Carolina is a State of soldiers; her peopls are famed for their military spirit. The volunteer companies of the Stat* ought to know that the first qualification of a soldier is obedience. Wften men put on military uniforms tney lay aside the right to think. They brcome parts oi a vast machine. Xotbing is right bat obedience?nothing wrong bat disobedience.

The consultation will mean a great deal for it- is possible i that serious '.rouble will c m-a from injudicious enforcement of the provisions of the proclamation. Chief G-aillard is in a terrible physical condition. The a .vfal strain of the past two weeks has proven too much ; rorhim.

Darlington, S. C., April 4.?For a little whue today the town was in a flurry, which happily was soon over. A.t 2 o'clock while some correspondents were iryiug iu wuceuu jucwa uui/ ui urcu Richbourg, one of his men ran breathlessly into headquarters with the news that a man had oeen shot at the Cleveland Hotel, two blocks away. A lush was matit by reporters and military, and thee* who got in ahead of the guard, w;>:;h was promptly placed at all the doors saw a brawny, shirtsieeved negro lying dead at the door of the dii> ing room, with his heart almost blown out, while the crlfs of women and children rang through the halls; and Capt. Hf'itry Thompson of the Darlington Guards led through the crowd by rhearm, a good loosing youngish man. The negro was Henry Green, a cook at the hotel, and his slayer was Dr. H. B.Payne, a Tennesseeian, who has been here for several weeks''representiog an insurance company and a hedge l'ence concern. It seems that Payne with the clerk of the dispensary had I been charged with taking goods from the dispensary, and an examination was about to be held. Green told some one that he had seen Dr. Payne coming out of the dispensary Paj ne" heard of it and todav he was about to enter the dining room when his wife called Green in the hallaad denounced him.Tnelie passed Green seized Dr. Payne by the arm. In a flash Payne's pistol was placed against the negro's breast and the next moment he was a corpse. Payne, wh > save himself up, was as cool as possible. He was surrounded by a squad of soldiers and taken to the jail and a s'cort time thereafter the dead body of his victim, escorted by soldiers, was hauled through the streets in a wagon. The military at or,ce took possession of both hotels, jail, court house and oher buildings in ana around the square. Not only was the telegraph offi eclosed to the ne^suaper dqpd, bat cifzens who had offices in the same buildina were not allowed to enter them. CaptT Thompson was a very busy man for a half hour, but the town was soon quiet again. The shooting is deplorable, but tbe homicide is not a citiz-n of D.-tniDg'on, and the affdr, while again traceable to the dispensary, bad no conntction with recent events here.

They are Ms-and AddreM'd bribe Governor. Colcjlbia, S. C.. April 7.?At 12 o'clock yesterday the special train bearing the militia arrived from Darlington. It was a few minutes late but long before the train arrived the union depot was a mass of people attracted there by curiosity as well as a desire to haof tt> Vi o t n./\rrarn r*r Tillmon ornnt/l UCOi YVlXCftl UUTUUVl xuirnuu J1 \J UiU have to say. The Governor, however, did not drive" to the depot but accompanied by John Gary Evans went to the Plain street crossing of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railro d. This soon became known ana in a short while the crowd moved over to the crossing. Afrer a long wait the train rolled up and Gen. Richbourg marched the men our. home time was consumed in getting taem In proper shape owiog to the crowd present but being finally drawn up in nne, u-jvernor imman, stanaing on an embankment, addressed them. He said: Soldiers, two trains which are to bear four companies to their homes are now wailing and what I shall say will be brief. I feel it important and necessary and indeed due you ro return the thanks of South Carolina o you for your valiant services. Called without a moment's notice you did not hesitate a moment to have your avocations to respond.' There was never the least intention that you Bhould shoot down your fellow citizens, but you were sent there to repress disorder, restore the law and prevent mobs from committing murder and to 3te that South Carolina is obeyed and aer iaff3 upaeia. 1 kdow you are anxious to get home and you deserve the benizon's and God's blessing of all lovers of peace. The time has come for bitterness, anger and animosity among breathren to cease. Henceforth let us, one and all, be united and stand together for the good of South Carolina. Oae maa broke out into a cheer but that was all. This fact created considerable commeut bat it was afterwards explained that orders had been issued by Gen. Richboarg that no cheering should be done. Col. W. A. JNeal was present wun checks for tbe companies. E-ich captain was called up and given a check be having previously sigoed a voucher for the sum his company was to receive Governor Tillman sail that the money would be pro-rated among offl cars and men alike and all would receive toe same pay. If tbis Had not, been dooe the men would not bave received a: ore thau 50 cents a day but as It is they will get 31. It Is not lifeely tbat ttie money will be put into the general treasury uf tne companies except In cases wbere all did not go on account or sickness. I: is evidently 'he intention of tbe men generally to divide what little they gnc among themselves. The Georgia, Ciroiina and Northern and Richmond aad Danville trains wait>-d for the iroop3. Tae Greenville ompaoy went oa the Rchm -n<l and D*nv<lle, while the Aobeviile and Greenwood comp*nie3 took the Richmond aad Dauville. The Edgt-field co.np^ni^ left this afternoon on the Richmond and Danvdie as did the Aiken companies. Tne Fort Jlotte and Oraugeburar companies weat via the South Carolina Railway. The Spartan ours compaait-3 naa to wait uuui luh regular train left this afternoon. The peuitentiarv authorities had dinner provided for th? companies that rem iine.1 over. Tbe Hampton Guaids, bo wever, came up street and we it to the Hotel Jerome. This company carries a very handsome United States fUs which was unfurled this morning. The ioldiers are certainly all glad to get home. They bad as pleasant a time as possible under the circumstances. They report everything perfectly quiet. McLendon was brought over by the troops. He is under arrest for murder and was bronght here for safe keeping. He was turned over to the sheriff of this county. One of the militiamen said that at Florence last night as Mc Lendon was being tafcen to tne notei ne was followed byal-irge crowd, some of whom pulled pistols half way out of their pockets. He said it looked as if there might be a row but McLendon was surrounded by Edgefield militia who rushed him into the hotel and the threatened trouble was averted.?Journal. (fho T? ok tine K flea. Florence, S. C., April 3.?As stated in the Southern Associated Press dispatcher seat from here the investigation to-day as to the looking of the Dispensary here was a failure. The work was done by a small number of men who are unknown. As to the taking of the arms of the Florence Rifles there was no effort at concealment. The men who took the weapons admit it and say they did so because they had heard that; a foul murder had been committed at Darlington and that they were expected to assist in the pursuit and captur of the alleged murderers. Trial Justice Smith in his testimony, as to the taking of the guns, gives the names of the following persons passing nis home, most of them with rifles on their Shoulders: J. D. McCall, E. P. Pauley,E. P. Berry, E. F. Douglass, D. S. Ellis, J. M. Hankln, Julius Pendergast, C. H. Whithead, J w Hammnnri FT M. Aver."Reese Grecrcr Ellerby Wallace and Messrs. Sligh and McKay. It was not necessary to have taken any names as ail the men admit rheir acton and are ready for arrest if such action is contemplated. It is not thought, however, that any of the men ^rill be arrested. Darlington will be tne centre of interest in ttiis section tomorrow. It is expected that the inquest into the tragedy will begin then. The citizens will probably testify first and the constables will then be brought over and give their evidence. The troops will stay at Darlington until the inquest. i3 coupled. The soldiers here air. growing tired. They expected exciting scenes and find themselves killing time in the most monotonous manner. There is some excited talk here to-night about ijovernor imrnaus proclamation on the police forces, but it will not amount to anything. Musical Horn?-B ire H>ppy Homn. Have you ev?r noticed it?

Ic has all along been stated that there was some liklihood ci sncn a move being made upon tbe part cf the Prohibitionists, and it follows the uprising of the people against the dispensary law. It shows to the work too that the Prohibitionists are not satisfied with the dispensary law as a aettlernent of the demands they have made. It has been generally thought for some time that a Prohfc ticc ticket would mee*. with slrong su:>p >ri if the Prohibitionists pm up good mec? men who are absolutely neutral ia ucli ;i? and have been a?30oiated in no way with either faction in tbs State.

Worry and Indigestion, Worry is a cuise and source of untold evils and it seams the face with lines and furrows, and has a most dis: tressing effect upon the hypersensitive organ, the stomach, which a?, such times becomes a most unwilling and laggard servant. Iodeed, it is safe to say that unless eocouniged by a cheerful temner and bright-, or at least hope fill thoughts, the stomach will play truant or sulk and do no work which it can shirk. The physiological explanation of this is the close alliance of the great sympathetic nerves which are worse than the tel? graph for carrying bad news; the worry and anxiety which depress the brain produce simultaneouely a semi paralysis of the nerves of the stomach, gastric juices will not flow, and presto! there is no indigestion. One sign of mental health is sereDity of temper and a self-control that enaoles us to bear with equanimity and UDrnffled temper the pt-tcy trials and jars of lite, especially those arising from contact with scolding, irascsble, irratatiog folk. It is well to rememoer at such times tnat these unfortunates ??? ' aoti trr/ira* onomioc* and a cultivation of the art of not bearing will help us very much.

Tbe unfortunate affair at Darlington last ir'riaay is one long to oe remembered by all the people of South Carolina, irrespective of faction or political affiliation. The State is confronted with a grave crisis, and oar leaders with a verv serious responsibility. The Darlington trouble is too ominous and tt e results that may flow therefrom are too far reaching to be dealt with light 1? or to be considered in a partizan light. Tbis Is a time for serious thought and moderation in speech. In the language of the Augusta Chronicle "the patriotic and conservative men of both factiors need to come together for the good of South Carolina, and consider this matter in a broad and liberal spirit, unfettered by partisan affiliations and prejudice. This is not simply an unfortunate outbreak result ing rrom tn9 suaaen neat 01 passion, j but the legitimate and necessary results { of the poicy advocated and carried out | by the Tillman and anti Tillman factions. They have sowed the wind and are reaping the whirlwind. Neither side is whollv to blame, and neither side is blamelfss, but both are deeply interested in a peaceful solution and equitable adjustment of the unfortunate conditions ich exist. Democracy is bigger tban Tillmanism ano South Carolina is bigger than anti-Tillmanism. Laying aside bitterness and bias, let the most Influential and conservative men of the State get together, and calmly and patriotically seek a peaceful solution of the unhappy conditions which now exist. It is a time for pruoent and conservative counsels to prevail, and for patriotic action to take the place of intemperate spesch and nasty conauc17. ia otjuau 01 uie past history, the present responsibility, and the future possibilities of the State of South Carolina, we appeal to her true and loyal sons, without reference to factional alignments, to come together now in a patriotic endeavor to relieve her from a condition of things that will cloud her fair name and retard her progress for the next decade if wise counsels and prudent action do not soon prevails A graye crls s threatens the peace, the progress and the prosperity of South Carolina. We trust that her lov*l neople will prove them selves equal to the emergency/' These oarriotlc words sboold fiad a responsive echo in the heart of every true South Carolinian. We want peace, we need peace, and we should take some steps to prevent a recurrence of the Ddriii g'Oa troub;e. Such occurrences do no good, bui will if continued make Sou'h Carolina a st'-'iCh in the nostrils ot 'he States of thr Uaion. Let us not forget rhar. h^wev-r tnuch we m*y differ poiitic-iily that we are brethren, I v?itn the same nopes ana aspirations ia life. Tbe Effect of the Bltzztrd. The C-imd-n Journal say3 the blizzard predicted by fUv. Ira Hicks reached us on time, ani the ruin and damage done to the fruit and truck farms is so great toat it is hart to place an estimate upon it at tins tim?. From 1 be middle of' sumner, as it were, lasr. week, we dropped into the middle of winder on Tuesday morning, when the rbermome^r registered 24 degrees, a fillot 64 degrees in a few days. Tbe ^ng continued *arm spell had brougnt out all kinds of vegetation, and had advanced it at least one month in tnis section. As a conseqaeoce, all of the fruit has been killed?peaches, pears, plums, cherries, grapes, strawberries are ail a clean sweep. Even the scuppernong grapes are seriously damaged. L ? ?? ? - ? - An l?t Iri r\s1 1 lit) UltJiUQ crup IS aUJUO iuo uuijr aiuu of fruis we cas count on this year. The truck farms and gardens are aeri ously damaged, too; they were far advanced over what tn6y usually are at tnis time, but the freeze even Killed many of the cabbage*, lettuce, beets, radishes and other such vegetables that ordinary frosts do not hurt at all. As So tbe gardens, we can begin ever again right away; but as for the fruit it is done for at least a year. 'Che news from. Charleston says that the truck and fruit farms around there have been damaged over a million dollars worth by the cold, while from Georgia and Tennessee similar reports come. Oa the truck farms around Wilmington and Norfolk, the loss is said to run up into the millions of dollars. To take it all in all, we do not believe the "oldest inhabitant" can recall just such a calamity. Oa the 26th of April, 1872, we had a r.old snan that did a tfreat deal of damage, but nothing to compare with wha?. has been done by this one. If a fire had passed over the country, vegetation would not have been injured much worse than It has been. President Cleveland seems to be thorougnly discouraged. He is reported as having said to oae of his friends: "If I had known how hard it was going to be, I doubt whether I would have accepted the nomination. Nothing could induce me to remain here a day ioDger than I am compelled to stay." His second term so far has certainly and signally failed to fulfill the promise of his first. It h is been as remarkable for political blunders and unfortunate administrative steps as his former term was remarkable for being free of ihem.
