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

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

Hagood, manager of the baseball team

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

though he admits the fact that his

GAXTT'S SPECIFICATIONS.
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? O >
furthermore, that cologne spirits, in
their pure state are unlit to drink."
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

APROPOS TOK DISPX>"SAKY.
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."

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.

so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmers
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy

necessity of being compelled to get

words about our .-ehuo.o. When I was
appelated uu.-ue Kiin.! six or ciyht
years ago, our township, No. 0, was
badly in debt. We didn't oniy nuvo to !

pelied to ca:ry over for two yuits
about $15c. The schools tveiv l'UJi but i
three mouth-, aud notwithstanding ihu I
oitifal crv of the uk dcrn poliuc'uu, !
that unl ss tLcy arc sent to Congress i
or the Senate that the masses of the
people will soon be in bondage. 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 Gi ecu brier school has been in
charge uI* rroi'. (J. I- Green, of Orangeburg.
Mr. Green lus discharged Lis
duty faithfully, and l-oth patrons and
trustees would bo pleased to have him
retarded and take charge of the school
another year.
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. We hear a srreat cry about
hard times, but I concluded that if it
was really true, that the upper portion !
of No. 9 was exempted. When I ,
glanced down the table I concluded
that the tipper shelves of ''mam's old
cupboard" that we heard so much
about last year had been thrown open.
After the table had been somewhat
relieved of its burden several of the
