Consider ible attention bns b?eh dra?n to the statement made b Serator Butler afceut tee ia'.e troubles in Dsrliuetcn. It 13 ss follow?: Florence, April 3.?Senator Buiier pessed ibn u-h Florence tonight oa h;s way from Darlington to Wut.h:.c?itcn and Ia?kedhimto give me Lis estimate o' the situation in this insurrectionary" Utc "I have ecme down frosa Darlington" be eaid, "where I have been the past twenty-four bears. A3 far as Icculd learn tvervthing is perfectly quiet and the civil authorities prepared t > discharge their duty, it seems that a cumber cf the State censfabies or spies, I as they are called, had been to Darlington for the purpose of ascertaining if there was any contraband whiskev. Ic tae search they made, they were supported by the mayor and civil authorities cf Darlington, as there was not the slightest resistance io tDi3 eniorcernent of the dispensary Jaw; on the contrary the people of i)ariiD^tcn co-operated with the enforcement. This was prior to Thur?d?iy, March 29. It appears the force of constables cr spies was 'ncreas ed on that day, by a reinforcement of about eighteen men, armed with Winchester rifles and pistols. Why thi3 reinforcement of armed men should be ? 6ent into a peaceable, law abiding community where there had been no resistance to law, I cannot understand, and I thiLk the authorities will have difficulty in explaining it. It also appears that this armed band were abcut to re tire from mat communny wcere icey had not been molested or disturbed, when a persona) lifficulty arose between two ycacsc men at the railroad station where these spies were. This difficulty, from what I can learn, was an entirely personal matter between the parties engaged and in do way conceded with the execution of or resistance to the dispensary iaw. '*Ooe of these armed constables, Mc Lsndon by name, interfered in this private difficulty. A citizen, Mr. Norment at the depot on business, mads some remark, and there was an 5ntercbange ot epithets between him and this constable, wfcereopon 'he constable opened fife upon Mr. Jsorment with the remark, lG?d d?n it, boys, let her roll.' The firing then became general between the armed constables aud tbe few persons who appear to-have oeen at the station by accident or on business. Tb? result of this firing was that two uncffenoinsi cit)z;ns were slain, one constable killed and this man McLendon badly wcanded. and several other citizens, amons them thp ohi?f of notice, who was trvner to preserve order, were several limes wounded. "The people of Darlington, naturally indignant at tfce extraordinary and violent measures adopted dy the authorities cf the State were outraged, itnd upon the information altbis cmeute at the sta lion they set cut am1 pursued the men wbo t'cey rishtlv thought had committed a wanton and uriprovofe^d murder upon two of tbeir cesi ci'.izen?. Thev pursued tfcese m?n. I take it, ss long as there was a prospect of arresting tbem, - > T?; ana, we musr assume, ur;u!<iui: luclu u> : us lice tor what they coiisidered an unprovoked homicide. As a prool cf their conservatism, the wounded toan,'Mc* LendoD, who had shot Mr. Norment, was taken to the jail snd there protected from further injury, although the peoof that towa were greatly m;uriatea at his conduct. 'kI think it may be safely asserted ibat there i3 not a mere law abiding, in telligenfc community anywhere in the United Stales than the two counties of Darlin ^n and Florence. Now, it does seem to me that if I had been Governor of the State of South Carolina I would have felt it to ba mj duty, r.pon being informed of the recurrences at Darlington, to have gone promptly lo the ecene cfihe disturbance and assured the people of that hitherto law abiding community that they should have fair play. I thirk if Governor Tilim&n had done this matters could have been composed in 24 hours, and whoever should have been proven to be in fault would have been made amenable to the law. Instead of ifcnt a r?>nrVInmntion dpnnnnrs lag tbe gGod people of these two counties as insurgents and insurrectionists and ordered the military of the State to camp upon them. During 017 stay at Darlington I was deeply impressed with tbe anxiety of both the citizens and the military to keep within ihe limits of the law. I advised as far as I had the right to advise, that under our form of government the military be subordinate to the civil power, and use of the military arm was only justifiable when the civil authority was proved to be powerless and paralyzed, and, I think, if Governor Tillman had or couid recognize thn Constitutional relation of the two powers of cur govern UlCUb) uc rt uuiu a * u:u uuau y vi bug - " blunders \*h!r-h he has made. There are two wavs to execute airy.ia^r-.- -Xli&-0.iie~ by wisdom and conservatism and fairness and the other by harshness, violence and an overbearing disregard of the citizens. I need not now express any opinion in regard to the dispensary law, but I may say that, in my judgment, the Governor is attempting to enforce it in a harsh, violent and ill advised manner. He ought to know that the Anglo Saxon race, particularly ia onr da., and generation, will cot submit, beyond a certain 4- t- - 1 J J J poiuti, iv ue uatiicu a.Liu ieyico?s-u i?uu pursued. The Constitution or the United States and oi the State guarantees the citizen against unreasonable searches, and there is notain? in the dispensary Jaw that I know cf, which justifies an invasion of this sacred right. Governor Tillman must not imagine fiom the patriotic and submission of the people in the city of Charleston, where he seems to have practiced uochalleBged sway in the haish execution of this law, tbat the people outside of that city, less accustomed to the restraints cf municipal government, will quietly submit to his Invasion of their rights, and it tfculd be pjudent on his part to go slow in tbe risid enforcement of a very unpopular law. "1 should not be understood as encourasemg, in the slightest degree, lawlessness or resistance in any f rm to lawful authority. Tbe people cf Darlington and Florence, as a rule, bave not resisted ibe latviul authority. There may dj exceptional mslances, as tnere are in every community, but they do not justiiy the whrltstilf denunciation which he seems to have pm upon them. From what I observe iD both these counties there has not oetn tne least excuse or justification for orderics the military to ttifcse points. He Las dene so at an enormous expense to ike taxpayers of the State, and, of course, he will Lave to lo? k cut lor that. "While in Dar):ngtcn I adv'sed, as j far as 1 had ibe ri.srbt to advise, that the friends cf the deceased who were killed in the emeute at the raiircad station go before the trial justice, make affidavit cbaieing the accused pi?:tits of the offence which thej thought they were guil ly of, demand the a.^uance cfa warrant, let the same bp ph.ced in the hand3 of a duly suthcrized constate or citizen, or, where tfce ?ccused has ilsd the jurisdiction of a warrant, that it, be sent to the sheriff of tbc ccuoty where they are tcund, endorsed and served by him, so that the parties mteht be arrested ccwording to law, required to appear, given bond and answer to the charges tn the due course of judi.-ial administration. If reristanca should be made to tbe constable of thetria1 justice, and he should fail to ccske the arrest, be six u'.d be required to endorse such fa'laie rn the warrant, and t:ien, end then only, the civil authorities sh uld call cu the military to act as posse lor tbe arrest of 'he accused. 4,I see by the capers that Governor Tillman, in a note to Capt. McCaugh nil ol the military company, nas siaiea that 'ihe du'y cf the soldiers, and tbe militia are soldiers, when called into service is :-lind obedience to orders from his superior, and not to question them in any way.' Tj my miad this proposition is simply monstrous, and Is not true. Xo officer is boand to obey tbe orders of n:s superior when the order issued is illegal. Nothing is better settled in military law than that. Suppose tbe Governor had ordered Capt. McCaughrm to are into a cnurcn nnea wna women auu children; suppose he had ordered him to set lire to the to^n cf Columbia; suppose he had ordered him to throw a railroad train, full cf innocent passengers, from the track. According to his theory he would have had to obey, and jei, if J he had obeyed, Capt. McCaughrin and his company could hav9 been arrested tried and doubtless convicted, of murder or arson, cr incendiarism, and the order of the superior cfficer, the Governor, would not have protected him. This shows bow wild and untenable and atsurb his proposition is. I repeat, no officer can be compelled to carry out an unlawful order of bis superior officers, and if he declines to obey it, the only penalty he incurs is trial by a court martial. "I would not advise any officer or soldier in the military service ot his State or elsewhere to acts of insubordination or disobedience cf orders, but they are as amenable to law as other citizens, , and should never torget that they are sobordinate to the ci'vil power of the i government. We haye bad a recent ex- < ample oi how sensitive the officers and soldiers of the regular arrnv are. At Denver, Col., where Gen.

Does he mean to have It inferred from this that he may ] trample on the rights of the minority and ; ignore the to? Is he prepared to admit that two, ttrse or a dozen newspapers can prevent his doing justice to all the people? Will he say that the newspapers can drive him into extreme and resentful measures? I should be very sorry to see the Governor of this State tn that position. VVhv does he continue in his efforts to array class against c^ass country against town? Why will hs appeal to the prejudices and resent-* ; ments of the people rather ' than to their reason and wisdom and forbearance one for the othf-fr?

THE INDUSTRIAL COLLEGETho Walls <f tti? Gin'rf College ar? Tw? S Orl;-s Hlfcl*. Kock Hill, April 24?The busiest place in Rjck Hill now is the site of the Wintbrop Normal and Industrial College. For a time after it was settled that the college was to be located at Reek Hill not much attention was attracted mere, as ih? work consisted solely in excavation preparatory tol?yiDg the foundation. Then, too, when the work of building was begun, the progress seemed very slow, as it consisted entirely of work with granite, but about a month siDce the walis of the basement story were completed. Since then the work seems to have been in a rush. Xow the walls are completed to the top of the second story. All the walls of the basement, inner acd outer, aranf crranitfi Thw rt-ilina in t,hp. rooms is twelve feet high. This carries the granite work about eight feet above the level of the ground ou the front. In the rear the basement floor will be above the level of the ground; this, with the floe arrangement of the building will allow ample light fiom the sun. Just above the granite, in the righthand corner of the tower, will be placed tde corner-stone. Tins is a block of pray sandstone, the larger base being 41 by 37 1 2 inches, the smaller 20 by 30 and 3 feet thick. Two faces of this will be exposed. Oa one of these will be the following inscription: Wintbrop Normal and Industrial College isy*. Bruce & MorgaD, Architects. Thompson & Decker Constsuction Company. Builders. A. D 1894. Oa the other face this will appear: S. P. Dendy, G. M. Board of Trustees: B. R. Tiliman, Governor, Chairman. E. S. Joynes, W. D. Mayfield, H. B. Buist, T. A. Crawford, W. J. Roddey, R. R. Hemphill, W. N. Elder, D. W. McLaurio, A. C. Fuller, A. H. Patterson, F. B. Gary, J. E. Breazsale. W. R. Dunlap, secretary and treasurer. W. H. Stewart, Superintendent. The granite work is fiaished off with a strip of sandstone six inches wide and extending all around the building. r oar ieet, auove is auuuiei smu ui wo same stone, which forms a pleasing contrast with the dark red color of the brick work, and which serves as a basis for all window frames. Ail exposed portions of the wall are finished with smooth prpssed brick of a deep red color. The front entrance will be by a flight of at least eight atone steps twenty-one feet long. These lead directly into an enclosed portico iiaving two large arch openings, each arch being strengthened by a very large keystone of sandstone three feet in length and two feet in thickness, both being handsomely main Kni1/^in<r txnll hu otfclYCU. i lie uiaiu uuhuiuq **i Vv . three stones above the basement, the tower being 168 fe6t from tbe foundation. This will secure a commanding view of tbe city and of the mountains. Most of the windows on the front side will be placed above elegant carvings in sandstone of the Corintbian order. Many of these are six feet in length. The main building will have a front Df 200 feet and an extension in tbe rear of 198 feet, the whole heing In the shape of a "T." The dormitories will be on each side of the mam building and connected with it by covered ways 140 feet long. Each dormitory will be Df the "L" shape three stories high and 226 feet each way. The entire building will present a front of about 800 feet and furnish an fnclosd courtyard in the rear 700 feet long. The floors of the basement rooms will be cemented; ail rooms will be finished in plaster. The neating and ventilating apparatus wiJl be of the most perfect kind. The contract for the work has just been awarded to Messrs. Hunnlcut & Bel lengrath of Atlanta. The building will be furnished throughout with water works. There are at prespnt one hundred convicts at work on the grounds. The brics yard under the management of Messrs. Mills & Holler, is turning out about thirty thousand brick daily. Durincr the next week they will begin with another machine and the output Df the yard will be doubled. As to the cost of the buildiDg the usual story is to be told. After specific iirections to the aichitecc and assur ances on bis part as to price, it can now be seen that the cost of the main buildiDg will not be far from SS5.000. It ippears, however, to be worth every ;ent of this and will be an ornament of which South Carolina may weii be pr?ud.

The programme was for one horse to run three iaps acd take a rest. The next horses would run three lpas, ect. The twenty six laps were run witti cneers ror l'rince occasionally, but the greatest i a it-rest was felt in the last lap, which was tbe most exciting. In the commencement the last lap George W. was Prince's opponent. The horse was driven by ftlr. Haight. PriDce was a little behind wben it was started, but displayed ?nergy in showing the crowd wnat ne was made of. He rapidly gained and was ahead when the race horse stables were reached.

A knowledge of the composition of the groucd" which his father plows and of the rocts about which he plays will attach him to the soil with a living interest. Chemical, zoological and geological laboratories should be connected with every country schoolhouse. The knowledge of zooiogv will mase the farm child eagerly seek the acquaintance of the birds, beasts and insects all around him. He will look on them with new, loving eyes.

Bragg then gave his name and asked Naftel's in return, with the statement that the matter could be fettled afterwards, It was feared by a few who knew of the dj3turhonoo ar>f? cif <fie? /^<?ror/ninp<^ f>h?raf*fpr | of ths men that they would have a difficulty curing thenigtit. This morning about 9:15 o'clock Brarrg went into the drug store where Naftel's office la kept. He asked Naftel aside and they went to the rear, where a partition separated the store into two parts. Those in front, only two or three heard no conversation and first knew of the difficulty by the rapid firing. Who fired fir3t or what wa3 said is not known. When they reached Bragg he was found to Pe fatally shot in the abdomen and died in an hour. Nafcel was wounded in two or three places, but none 13 regarded as serious except one, where a pisiol ball a truck bim square between the eyes on top of the bridge cftbe nose. The ball has not been found and as yet the surgeons are uaable to form an opinion. Naftel was taken to bis home, where he is resting quietly, and it may be a day or so before anythiog defiaite as to result is ascertained. Bragg was an attorney of decided ability and bid fair to make a reputation. He was about 27 years of age and unmarried. His remains were taken to the residence ot his brother in-law, Mr. Paul W. Smith, where the funeral will occur tomorrow. Xaftel is about 30 years old. He has recently mo red to this city from the country to practice medicine. His standing in medical circles 13 finn. He has a wife and two children. The af* fair was the topic of conversation of the day and is gieaily deplored. Both parties stand high and have wide circles of friends Has a Good Plan. Washington. April 23.?Representative Hints, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, has evolved a plan that he believes will speedily dispose of Coxey's army after their arrival in Washington He proposes introducing a bill appropriating $10,000 to be expended in improving some of the country roads in th* District of Columbia. "I will veture the prediction," said the congressman, "that less than S500 of the appropriation will be expended. The army will get out of town so fast that all the rest of the money will be covered back into the treasury. In fact if such a resolution had been passed a week ago it would have resulted before this in the disbandment not only of Coxey's forces, but of all the collateral braoches as well. As Mr. Hines represents a district embracinga large labor consicituency, he was asked if such utterances migii not hurt him with the working people at home. "Well, hardly," waa the indifferent reply. "My constiruents are working people in the best sense of the word. When they are out of employment tbey are anxious to be emploved again. They are not looking for work and pray mg to heaven they may never una it." GeTios Scared. Washington, D. C. April 23.?The Commissioners of the District of Columbia will issue a proclamation or statement concerning the coming of Coxey and his army. It is understood that this action will oe taken at the suggestion of President Cleveland. Fears that the arrival of Coxey will mark the concentration in Washington of elements bent on disturbing law and order hoan imnrfloooH nn fchfl fifiTO I uorc IL/WJU missioner3 by many prominent men, and the President also has been told by some of his advisers that it would be well to take measures to show intending evil doers that the'authorlties will brook no interference with the maintainance of peace and order in the District. The President was loath to take action in the matte: in the name of the Federal' government, but believing that some positive step was necessary he suggested that the District Commissioners as representatives of local authority, issue some sort of statement to the effect that the rusaored intentions of extremist are to make the arrival of Coxey the opportunity for a demonstration that might develop into seriou3 riot would not be permitted to be carried out. Stole a Train. St. Paul, Minn., April 25.?Shortly after midnight 500 men at Butte, composing the Butte contingent of the Goxey army, entered the engine house of the Northern Pacific railroad, appropriated and prepared for service an engine, and proceeded to make up a train composed of five coal cars and one box car. This action occurred after a st uggleof four days between the local authorities and the mob, which yesterday assumed such proportions as to overawe tbe officers of the law and the departure from Butte was without any opposition upon their part. The % % 1 4-u^ train was manned Dy memuwa uj. tuc mob. It crossed the main range of the Rocky Mountains early this mornintr, atd reached the main line at Logan, 70 miles from Butte, at about 4 o'clock. They breakfasted at Bozeman and flaw eastward at the rate of 55 miles an hour, coming to a sudden stop at Timberline at 8 o'clock on account of a cave-in. Attorneys for the Xorlhern Pacific have wired the sheriff at Livingston to place the mob under arrest for the larceny of a train. Governor Nelson has been asKea to can out tue militia to prevent the Coxeyites from entering Minnesota. Later, the mob shoveled itself out, and passed through LiviDgston eastward at u 30. Free L qaor Indeed.

Ko city or State licenses are being paid, and things *re running along as if nothing had happened. But this does not aoply only to Columbia and Charleston. Travelers say the same thing was witnessed yesterday in many small towns all over the State. Yesterday an ex-dealer, who has been observing the dispensary law to me letter, received a carload shipment of beer, and it is said that he will at once start his delivery wagons to work again. The railroads are hauling large amounts of liquors into the State on every train. K->pe Wanted.

Williamston, April 23.?On yesterterday afternoon a young man (n;>ooe not known to your correspondent) hired a horse and buggy and took a young lady?Miss Emerson?to ride. Another young man?Will McAdams?had been paying the young lady some attention, xJrv XV-GC TJr. nrn/tnron CCi VV tLiCLLl I iUC UUL* UC c? Li UUUC Ui-UOUi vu a horse and buggy and, arming"himself, pursued them. Atter driving seme three miles, he came up with the parties, and drawing a pistol, conomanckd the young lady to get out of the buggy of the young man, Will McAdams, who bad and get in his ouggy, or he would kill them both and then kill himself. The young lady finding him obdurate yielded. He forced her to set in bis buggy and drove oH. They did not go far brfore meeting two young men in a buggy to whom the young lady appealed most piteously for help, the young man noiuiog nt^ 10 at-i uum jumping out of the buggy. The two young men did not give her the aid that she pleaded for. In passing through one of the back streets of YViiliamston, they met our town marshal, and though she was weeping and being held by the young man she did not appeal to him for help. He tried to force her to marry him uader threat of being shot. He drove off and when he returned to Pelzer the girl was insensible, and was still so at last accounts. Whether from fright or something worse cannot be told as yet. McAdams is cow under arrest, awaiting the recovery of the young la dy, before preliminary examination. As she was kept out unin alter mgui, taken with her mantal condition, leads us to suspect the worst. Later?An attempt to force marriage under threat of shooting is now believed to be tbe extent of the crime. The girl is in her right mind, but is still in a very nervous condition. All tbe parties concerned are from Pelzer.? State. A Chance tor T?sacher<j.

Isd., April 25.? I That contingent of Copy's army under eommand of Geo. Louis C. Frye forcibly took possession of an Eastbound freight train leaving here at 3 o'clock this afteenoon. The officers of the army claim to have paid the railroad company for the transportation as far as Brazil, twenty miles East of Terre Haute, but after the-loading of horses wagons, cooking utensils and blankets tbe train pulled out leaving the industrials in this city. Tney spent last night near here, useing the railroad | company's fences aEd ties for fuel. ; Oae train was side-tracked to prevent i.h common wealers seizing it. When i trains were started this afternoon the i tbree hundred soldiers made a rush for tbe freight and captured it. The engineer was told thai the industrials had railroad men in their ranks and that if he refused to start the train he would oe put off and one of their own men would take the throttle. The train men were unable to prevent them riding as the industrials were determined, and any resistance would have resulted in bloodshed. Brazil being in the heart of the Indiana Coal district, and has hundreds of miners are now out on strike, there may be serious trouble as the mineis will, 011 account of beiog residents, clairr. the harity of the city in preference the industrials. The members of the army say they will continue to burn the railroads company's fences and ties until their blankets and cooking outfits are brought back to them.

C., April 21.?Every dispensary in the State is closcd today. Goyernor Tillman was in a j ocular mood when seen by a repsrter this morniog, but was very carelul a1? to how he expressed himself.
