GENERAL WATT'S DEFENCE. -> T J-,ic cfntp LxCUera; waus u^r, gncu ^ . .. ment to the .:press giving his version of the *ght on the South Carolina College grounds. This statement has been read carefully, aud we must say that if it contains General "Watt's only de-ecce, it is exceedingly weak. He does not touch the matsrial fac:s in the case, and does not in any way controvert the material facts already ~?wi;r.ka/* TTo tforra fha!: Col. Jones j/UUlJ _ _ had obtained permission to use the grounds on tee 2oth of May; that the inspection was pc?tp:>ued, and held on the 28th. Helloes not state that he had permission to hold the inspection on the 28th, and while General Watts may not hare ir.>?r:ded it, it seems to us that he seeks to shift the blame on Col. Jones. lie look his position where Col. Jones directed. He ad" ' * n?if-h \T t* urns nuviug uviivimu ...... Hagood, manager of the baseball team nd Prof. Sloan. He does not go into a detailed statement of what was said at either of thes1 conversations. The inference is th&t he does not intend to deny that he told Prof. Sloan that the grounds "belonged to the State." lie does not deny that he asked Mr. Ifagood "what he had to do with it." He is silent as to whether or not he i-u in*lao-n fKo arrmnris liiC CV UAVWA l>MV JJ? v lie admits the material fact that the troop? w?re ordered to march across the grounds, though he says there was no order -cto charge."

Last week's Headlight is full of the dispensary. The foiiowicg are the specification of charges made: i - - j..: ,u~ rp? lit. iiiai uunui; wc xia-vici several hundred !dollars per car load more were paid for cheap liquors than is cow paid, although the revenue on liquors has been increased 20 cents per gallon since that time. Editor Gantt wants this explained, and thinks that eveu with single entry the books ought to show whether or nci this charge is true. 2nd. "That during Trailers managemeni of the dispensary, not one dollar was turned over in rebates, while last year chose rebates amounted to more than $-10,000,000." Mr. Gantt wants to kiior- what became of those rebecs. "Trailer's apologists say that they vanquished in his single entry system of book keeping." :3rd. "That adulterated corn whiskey was shipped rom the dispensary, under a guaran:ee by the State chemist, ii at it was "chemically pure."'" As to tils Mr. Grautt says, addressing Senator Tillman ':Dan Tompkins, who Tea? your confidential friend and private secretary at th:- time, says it was only cologne spirits. Now, Senator. you must know that cologne spirits sell in the market at only 70 cents per gallon, while the tax alone nn !? <51.TO -not* gallon, and ^ C?

Editor Ganti's "statement" is writtea in admirable temper, well and .strongly s.tld, and we do not see how Senator Tillman cau afford to ignore ii. CO I- -JONES IN IX TOO.

In our opinion what really Unockcd the bottom oat of the present dispensary law was the masterly opinion delivered by Judge Hudson when he held that the law was unconstitutional. It is true that Judge Hudson's decision had no practical effect at 1 lie time. It cost him bis position or. the j bench, and the Supreme Court bench ' ?-?^^ 5 </-? vovdi'j^ tho 'fvirnod Wei5* reui iiuiuitvi i.u A ^? I anc unanswerable deliverance of Judge Hudson. II j expoun led. tho groat constitutional principles, and showed with a clearness that has not since bsen surpassed that the dispensary was in contravention with the State Constitution of 1-SGS and with the Constitution of th3 United States. From the day his decision was tiled, he became & marked man. Judge Hudson appreciated his ex alted position, ami ne uarcu iu w-1 c!arc the law a? it was, whatever might be the consequence?. 11-jw much better it would have been for the State to have abided by the decision of its courts. How much beiU-r not to have organized our courts j merely to obtain partisan decisions IIow much better cot to have i itroI duced politics into our court.-? " f j i=tice. Truth is everlasting; it maybe smothered for a ti ae, but it will not long remain so. Judge Hudson plainly and clearly enunciated ihe co:s;ilu tional principles underlying personal i iibertv. His decision rosing on truth, it had to triumph ultimately. We have no desire to irritate t hose of our citizens who honestly thought that the dispensary system was a wise thing, and we take this retrospect into ti.e history o? the system to make 'he point that it is always the wisest a.d safest course to eleva'e men t> the* * ' **"? nnlifir-s ?r? /niifth I U-iiUUj liUL iV/1 lUVll as for their high character and learn-1 ing in the law, and that it never pays i to remove judges to be rcpiaccd by others, that decisions may be deiiv* red in support of some particular policy; in other words it is always better for the State to keep within the Constitution. That instrument was framed to declare and protect the rights of each and every c'tizen; it was made j for all alike; it is not a creature of1 passion and prejudice. We can conceive of no greater calamity that could f>io Rfofo than a nmatftution of ly^JLCWX luu "vvwvw w V the judiciary to narrow partisanship. Our safety, life and liberty rest more upon the integrity of our courts than any other branch of the Government. In the present emergency, the Columbia Register offers this sensible course: "The dispensary has had a fair trial at the bands ot the people and, as conducted. it has proved more hurtful than helpful in many ways, and has not reduced the evil of drunkenness in adequate proportion to the bloodshed, violence and disorder that has at tended the enforcement of the law. * * * If Judge Simonton's decision shall eventuate in the abolishment of the system it wiil be mourned for the 1 unimproved possibilities for good that go with it, but it will not be regretted on other scores. That which ihe State . should do in the emergency which confronts it should be discussed tem1 perately, carefullv and logically, and there will be plenty of time to do that ! when Judge Simonton's ruling has f been thoroughly digested. Until then, W ne cm eiriw. Tf it comes to a choice between prohibition aud license, let ! us make the choice rationally and cle liberately, leaving nothing to regret in the future. For one thing at least we t have cause to be thankful?ihe old ' barroom carousals ran never a^ain, so long as the present Constitution is i in force, bJ;ght and bl st the Slate I with the disgrace and ruin of other days. This is a comfort hat should not be overlooked by ihose who aie the staunchest supporters of the Dis pensary system." ; RIDGEWAY NEWS.

While it is utterly impossible for toaohers to always give entire satisfaction and to conduct themselves so as to escape all criticism, the faculty of the High School have just finished what has been a very satisfactory term to both the trustees and patrons. Tr.,c following letter from Major C. I. Walker is here published as a communication, likely to be of interest to those of the Confederate vete-i rans who contemplate a trip to Xash..rtl, . V liuv Charleston, S C., June 1S97. Arrangements having been perfected for moving the camps of the division over the Seaboard Air Line in special train?, to be knowu as "Confederate Veteran Specials," thus insuring the arrival of the bulk of the division at Fashviile in one body, on the morning of June 22, the major general commanding announces for information ot the comrades the following: Headquarters South Carolina Division will be Room No. 1-i, Price College Hotel, corner Broad and Vauxhall streets, where myself and staff will stay. This hotely offers to comrades board and lodgiags as follows, breakfast, lunch and dinner being served and included in price: When one or two occupy a room, $2 per day; when five occupy a room, $1.50 per day; lodging only 50 cents, 75 cents and $1; single meal 50 cents. As It is desirable to have the South Carolina Division together, all the i comrades who can oilord these rates are requested to stay at the Price College Hjtel, and it is suggested that the commander or adjutant of each camp write said hotel, ten days before the reunion, stating how many rooms must be retained at the $2 and how many at the $1.50 rate. The Nashville executive committee for the reception and entertainment of United Confederate Veterans iu their circular say: "Meals can be procured at prices ranging irom zo cents up auu sleeping accommndations cau be had from 25 cents per night np to firstlass hotel rates. Fall iniormation and directions wi:i be given by the committee on arrival. The Daughters ol the Onfederacy aud the Veterans will do all in their power to provide entertainment for those unable to pay the rates mentioned above." The sreneral commanding and staff will occupy a headquarters car on the special train carryiD?: the division and on arrival at Nashville will see that the comrades are cared ifor as announced abore. All comrades going 011 the special train must see that their tickets read via Seaboard Air Line. By command of Major Gen C. I. Walker. James G. Holmes, Adjutant General, Chief of Staff.

We are movii.g alon^ nicely, we hiivo not only erected nice, commonable school h lues, and have been able to pay up all papers discounted, but we are now on a cash basis, and our school term is teven months. Our present County bupmutendent of Education has manifested consiueraoie in teres; 1:1 our scljuols u.i:tl cciiuinJy deserves the "well dune, guoil ai?d faithful servant."

The Browntown school has been undor the mancgement of II r. A. Y. Milling, who needs no introduction to the people of Fairfield. By a special invitation it was my good fortune to i be present and witness the closing exercises of the school in the beautiful giove near the residence of Hon. K. Y. Lemmon on Friday, May 28th. The exercises consisted of singing, recitations, dialogues, etc. All who participated in the exercises acquitted themselves in a way that proved to all prc-sr...i thot \fiv "Milling had discharged his duly faithfully. Several of the pupils deserve special mention, but as I am n:>t familiar with their names will not artempt it. It seemed t'oat from Jill J could gather that both j patrons and pupils are perfectly satisfied with the present teacher, and will endeavor to secure his services for the next \ ear. After the exercises were closcd Lbc good ladies of the community, with tbe a^istaucc of a few men, took charge of that part of the pro- j gram which seemed to be of more interest to some than the feast which \vc enjoyed ?n the way of recitations, speech-making, etc. I refer to'a well filled table.
