Wednesday, November 17, 1897, DISPENSARY FRUITS. Another human being has lost his life as an outcome of the dispensary law, and the circumstances attending ? the killing are worse tnau auy oi iw many diabolical deeds directly traceable to this abominable law. It would seem that * the people of this State would have revolted as a unit against the use of the name of the State as a vendor of liquor. A patriotic people, under normal conditions, would have resented such degrading of the dignity of the State, and we believe that when they shall have returned to meir imeiligent and conservative senses, they will stamp out the law. It invited corruption, and from its incipiency corruption, moral and political debauchery, tyranny and bloodshed have accompanied its enforcement. The circumstances of the killing of Tnrner in Spartanburg are enough to make the blood of libertv-lovius peo pie boil, and demand revenge. It onght to cause the people to rise in a mass, and demand that this thing shall stop. As to the facts of this homicide, the accounts published in the papers all agree in the material points. Detective Xewbole and Constable Howie were sent by Governor Ellerbe to make a tour through Spartanburg and Greenville. These dispensary constables were camped about two or three miles from Spartanburg City. Turner, % sober, indastrious, law-abiding, peaceable and highly respected farmer, a deacon in the Baptist Church, and a friend were in a buggy to take the train for Columbia. Turner was on his way to the Cotton Growers Con VCULXVItj V CI yvttwuviv MUW : praiseworthy mission.' Here in bis own neighborhood, iu the public highway, these officers demanded that he halt, and naturally he drove on, exactly what he ought to have done, because they were strangers to him, and how did he know but what their object was robbery ? Turner, as a sensible man, could hive done either of two thinsrs?fired on his assailants or moved en faster. Newbole claims that the gun went off accidently. We do not propose to discuss that. He will be tried., and we shall leave to a jury to pass upon the question. What we want to impress upon our people, is that this killing illustrates the danger of the dispensary law. Has it come to pass that our larmers cannot drive about their neighborhoods on peaceable missions without the risk of being shot down on the public highways by men under the nretecse of enforcing the law? This was done in Spartanburg, but it might have happened in Fairfield. It has happened to an industrious and thrifty farmer in one of our sister counties, a man standing high in his church, to a man haying nothiDg about Mm to excite the suspicions of the constables. It might have been one of the best citizens in Fairfield. It is possi- j ble that the people endure a law which gives even the color of legal authority to an officer, without a warrant, to step from ambush on the public roads, and demand that those passing shall halt, and if the command is disobeyed, death shall be . the penalty? Away, away with it! Under such a system, no man's life is safe. A far iner may come to Wionsboro to-morrow, and start back home to-morrow night: While on a lonely road, he may hear a voice calling to fchim: Halt." What is he to do? We confess nnder the strange order of things in these strange times, it is hard to say what he oaght to do. If bis assailant is a dispensary constable, if he does not halt, he loses his life. If his as sailant is a highway robber, a halt may mean death. The unfortunate tragedy in Spartanburg should make the people reflect seriously, and we agree with the Headlight that they should speak so that the State authorities wilt have no doubt as to their meaning. Let's end this business. It has cost far too much, already. The State iJoara 01 uontroi is alarmed that receipts in tbe dispensaries are beginning to fall off so heavily, and it is about to ask Governor Ellerbe to reestablish the constabulary. The Board pretends to believe that the falling off Is doe to the unlawful sales made by blind tigers and original packages. This ground is hsrdly tenable, and a thorough investigation would show that there are no more blird tigers now than when the constables were re moved. We doubt seriously if there are as many tigers now as at the time of the abolition of the constabulary force. Again we do not believe that the shrinkage in receipts is doe to unlawfal sales by origiral packages. The Board pretends to believe that the original packages are selling by the drink ov.m- the counter, ana that tnis is done n? -?nly Surely this cannot be true T; : -;saaal packages know that there ^ *> miich ri*k in managing their i>a ine^s in ;his way. They know that the> v/eutd lose heavily, and end their business. The dispensary is weak with ihe people and they are patronizing the origiual packages in the lawial sale of liquor, and that's what is DU Illg liitJ icucipus. The re-establishment of the constabulary would hasten the end of a rapidly decaying structure. Incontinence of water during sieey is stopped immediately by Dr. Detch ou's Anti Diuretic.

The yellow fever epidemic ba3 produced a great deal of discussion on the question whether or not the Federal Government should take entire charge and control of the quarantine of the country. Surgeon General Wymau advises that the National Government should have full charge of the maritime quarantine. In an article in the I November Forum, he says "with rej ference to Marine Hospital Service? I which now has tin administration of I the national quarantine law?that no j branch of the Federal Government is freer from ulterior and political influences." This may all be ti ue, bnt reasoning from the history of other branches of the Government, it is likely that a national quarantine 9jstem (wonlcl soon be influenced by politics. ! The founders of the Government expected the electors choieu by the States I o choose the President from the erai| nent and distinguished citizens of the | Republic, but in the course of time po 1 *AnC lltlC&i p^ril^b U121UC HUUiajatxvuo v?*?v% i pledged electors to support them. Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, goes farther than Surgeon General Wyman. He will introduce a bill to put the Federal Government in entire control of the quarantine system of the country. While it may be true that the scheme would be more effective in preserving the public health, it is adding another dangerous precedent to the long list [ that have a tendency to obliterate State lines and consolidate all power at Washington. We believe in the good old thoory that States and communities shocld be left to govern themselves, jast as far as possible, without any outside interference. One step towards centralization at Washington always means another. Give the Federal Government control ot the quarantine system and it will take control of other things., which properly belong to the local authorities. The danger i* that nobody knows where it will all end. The National Government has enough power no*. The decision in Georgia requiring the Southern to receive for shipment liquors for original packages is only another prop knockei from ouder tbe tottering dispensary. It hasn't mauy more props on which to stand. Cpeemrnrt^ TndftT to IV r. OUU WUW V14fc.WM.TVwv -.-v. oar exchange list. The first copy promises well. Mr. W. G.

GLADDEN'S PORTRAIT. -Kecajuifl a uisiisguisQeo sou ui xauuuuIn the following account of the recent presentation of a portrait of Gen. Gladden to the Daughters of the Confederacy a short sketch of the life of the General who was a native of Fairfield and a hero of two wars is given. The Colombia State says: Yesterday a portrait was presented to the Daughters of the Confederacy through the State historian. In hie letter to Mrs. B. W. Taylor, vice president of the local chapter, that official says: "In behalf of Mr. William Lykes and his wife, nee Miss Powell, the niece of the late General Gladden, it is iny privilege to presenr, through you to the Columbia Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy a portrait of that distinguished Confederate officer, as-he appears in his uniform. A. H. Gladden was a native of Fairfield. As major of the Palmetto regimont in the war with Mexico, hfi hart "a plac; in the picture near the flashing of (he guus." Having succeeded to the command of the regimeui after the fall of Col. Butler and Lieut. Col. Dickinson, and it was Col. Giadden who led the Palmetto regiment in fne fiual assaait of our troops upon the j UlCJf \Jl tug UIVUUUUiUM^ ? V>T order of Gen. Qaitman, Lieal. SolIeck, of the Soutto Carolina regiment, planted the Palmetto flag on the G&rita defBelei. as a signal to the whole army that the gates of the city were in the ll Wl 11 I ? r ~ " - r hands of Gen. Winfield Scott, tbe American commander. On that day Col. Gladden bore himself with marked intrepidity as he had previously done at Contreras and at Cherubnsco. Retaming home with the honors of war and the scars of the soldier, he served for a time ae an officer at the South Carolioa college. Subsequently Col. Gladden moved to New Orleans in order to improve his fortunes. He prospered io business. When the war between the States came on, he promptly responded to the call of Louisiana, his adopted State, and entered the service of the pivnfodepitoT. His (Confederate career w . was short bat brilliant. As brigadier general, he feli at Shiloh, at the head of his brigade, sharing the fate of that matchless hero, Albert Sidney Johnston. General Gladden was thus the hero of two wars?the contribution of Sonth Carolina, first to the United States, aad nest to the Confederate Siates. The portrait of such a man will, I am sure, be prized by the patriotic "Daughters of the Confederacy" to whom my friends, in a public spirit, worthy of imitation, Have commj'.sioned me to en:rusl it. Be pleased to receive it, at my hands, Mr. and M:s. William Lykes of Richland County. Mrs. Taylor wrote thus in reply: In behalf of the Colombia Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, I accept with pride and pleasure the portrait of a Soivh Caroiica son of the late Confederacy. The portrait of the hero of the Faimetio regimen' and of the field of Sbiloh will be prized by our chapter, and it wiil be preserved m an honored place. Be pleased to convey to Mr. and Mrs. William Lykes our appreciation of their valued gift. It was to receive such souvenirs that our society was organized. The portrait of General Gladden will ce on exhibition at the booth of the Daughters of the Confederacy at the fair grounds; later, it will hang upon the wails of the museum of Confederate relics at the Souili Carolina college.

At 10.S0 o'clock last night the chief of police stated that he was convinced thoroughly that W. H. Newbold, the slayer of Mr. Turner of Spartanburg, was in Columbia. Bat he has been unable to locate him. He &aid that he had located and had seen his valise. Ex-Constable Stevenson of "Winnsboro is here, and to^several he stated that Newhold was here and was willing to surrender to the governor provided he m-nrtl/l nrtf VlOfra frv hflpfc Spartanburg just now. Governor Ellerbe at 2 o'clock, although Stevenson was said to have called upon him prior to that time, told a representative ot The State that he had heard nothing of the matter;and knew nothing of it. Last night he made the statement that he had nothing for publication Chief Daly, when teen lasl night freely t /Id what he knew about the matter. At S.3U o'clock yesteraay morning the chief received a telegram from the chief of police at Winnsboro, telling tim that Stevenson, Newbold and one other man had left Winnsboro in a bnggy bonnd for Colombia. Chief Daly at once sent a man out to take position on each of the roads by which the team coold enter the city. They got there too late. Chief Daly then ca*i:e around on the Arsenal hill belt line of .the electric railway. As the car was coining down from the executive mansion he saw a buggy drawn bv two mules and at once spotted it as that for which he was looking. It tcrned into Assembly street. The chief got out at the comer of Plain street, and goinsr up to the livery stables soon found that the buggy had bern left there by Stevenson. The chiet followed Stevenson down street for a couple of blocks and finally accostcd him jand told him of the message be had received. Stevenson admitted that he had brought Newbold here, but declined to tell the chief where he was. The chief says that Stevenson told him that [Newbold beinsr an officer of the State did not care to be arres;strand thus muke tbs State pay the reward ^offered. Again, Newbold did not wish to be taken to Sparhnburg, but desired to surrender quietly to the governor and be placed in tbe penitentiary "for safe keeping." lie wouid be able to give bi3 bond. The third man in the party seems to be a York county officer of some kind who is remaining with Newbold wherever be is. Alter Mr. Stevenson communicated with the governor, it was stated that there was a legal question in the way of putting New bold Into the penitentiary in case 01 his surrender to the governor. It is said that should he surrender to another than the sheriff of Spartanburg, thut county can claim him. If he wa3 nor in the hands of the Spartanburg sheriff when the request was made to place him in the Stale penitentiary, then Spartanburg county would not be responsible for his board bill at the State prison. Chief Daly understands that the sheriff of Spartanburg was asked by wire to come here, and is expected to arrive this morning. Tbis was the status last night so lar as could be ascertained from the chief and those.with whom Mr. Stevenson had talked about the matter. At 9 p. m. Gov. Ellerbe was asked what he had to say about (he matter, be having promised to telephone concerning anything that transpired, and having failed to do so. His reply wns that he Lad nothing for publication last night. In the meantime Newbold, if he is in Colombia at all, wa8?" remaining in his place of hiding, ar.cl Mr. Stevenson was not communicating with him unless through a second or third person. The ?tory told by those who seem to koow something about the affair is to the effect that Newbo'd, with a friend, went to Mr. Steveuson's hou-e in Winn6boro on Saturday ni"ht, and told Mr. Stevenson that he wished him to come to Columbia with him. He is reputed to have told Mr. Stevenson that he, being an officer of the State, preferred to surrender to the governor, and wished the proclamation offering a reward annulled. Again he did -j.it wish to snrvnider aiitil the grant.. jury in Span -burg ha.: been dir-cha-ged for ihi- tern of cou-t. lie claim" ! that the kill; .g of Tinner wt,s j; :st*lv an uccidcm. It appears that wi;ii these v'ew? uppermost Newbold has come hi re.
