Jones Addresses Former Members of His Command. REUNIONS EVERY YEAR, j A Pleasant Event that Occurred in Columbia Thursday Morn- ! ing. The Dead in Cuba. Jit the Independent fire engine house Thursday morning the reunion of ths members of the Second South Carolina regimeat was held. It -was largely at* tended by the veterans of the only South Carolina regiment that served in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, and much enthusiasm was manifested. Col. Jones presided, and addressed the gathering as follows: Fellow Soldiers: In accordance with the resolution passed at the mass meeting of the regiment in Augusta, Gra., a few diys before we were mustered out of the service of tbc United States as soldiers, you are assembled here today. It is- for you to eay what shall be done to perpetuate the memories of the past, and keep up the touch of the elbow, acd to keep alive the stroDg friendships we all formed with each le in armv. It eives me the' greatest pleasure to welcome you all to this city, and to say to you that I have not words to express to you the great pleasure it gives me to look into your brave and honest faces, and to shake you by the band. On June 27, 1898, I had the distinguished honor of beiiig appointed your colonel, and I say without hesitation that I cont-ider it the greatest honor ever conferred upon me. When the call was made by the president in the pring of IS98, you responded promptly and entered the UnitedjSvates army tohclp the downtrodden and much-abused - r Cubans; and I honor you' for it. You have been faithful in your duties as soldiers. No soldiers ever stood to their commanding officer better than you did to me, ar.d it is for you to say whethei I did ail I could for you. I certainly tried to do all in my humble power to make your service, in the army as aereeab'e as possible. I never issued an order to you that you did not .nnir.L-lv and von altvavs obeved 5 _W w ? my orders in such a way-as to- make it a pleasure to issue them to you. I do. not think there is a man in this regiment who doubts for one moment that I ever issued an order which was un pleasant or hard to execute,:.unless I was compelled to do so by superior authority. I felt towards you ail just the same as if you had been my ohiidren, and did all in my power for your good. I am satisfied you appreciated what I tried to do for you. Now that .is all over, I can speak plainly to you about my anxiety for your health before leaving Savannah for Cuba. From what I had always ht atd of Cuba, I thought ^ that perhaps Oue-half of the regiment would die of yellow fever before re^ turning to this country; and a friend of mine said to me in Savannah that he ww satisfied the. anxiety in the regiment about yellow fever was so great that when the order should be issued for the regiment to go to Cuba that iundreds would desert. But, my fel-. low soldiers, let me tell you that when that order came to board the transport' Roumanian for Habana, on January 3, 1889, I marched the regiment on the nfTftnff ?nri I VIA uya^ w ? ~.~c-.man deserted- . I am ?ure 'his record annot be beaten by any regiment in the world, aDd I am proud of it Now, let us form ourselves into a & Tegular organization, elect officers and Appoint 6uch other committees as we may seed. Let us contribute annually to the fandto be kept for the purpose of assisting such of us as may become unable to get along in the world? no man can tell when want may strik? him. Let us accumulate a fund to M erect a monument on the capitol P" grounds to the 16 noble young men who )sv*?4- 1 > T?r\o VvTT rtieAfiCO TTrK 11A m om AVOW tiJVll AX V WO K/J VA1JVUUV T( U1WM* bers of the regiment, and while performing their duty to their country. Let us have inscribed upon that monu-* ment that no man ever lost his life in a "* holier or grander cause than that of volunteering to help drive the Spaniards from that dowDtrocden and muchabused island of Cuba. Three of our membera died in Cuba, namely Epting, Trevett and McKay, from disease contracted in the hot, burning sun of that country. Their bodies are buried in the military graveyard just a half mile north of ^ Marianao. I think a committee should b? appointed to see to it that their bodies are brought home in the near future by the government, and buried / in their native sail. The 13 other ^ members of the regiment- who died, L , namely. Griffin, Epton, Mooney, Covington, Smith, Bluer, Lyles. Hopkins, Ward, Meetze, Barton, Finley and Kitchea, are buried in the United States. The bodies of all these *ere sent to-their parents. On January 17,.1S9S), we buried a boy 15 years old named B.ertie Eastman, who was drowned the;day before in the little nvernear- our camp in Uuba. He eould not- swim, and rode a mule into deep W2ter and was drowned. He was not an enlisted member of the regiment, but had left Savannah with us as a camp follower. I have never to this day been able, to fiod his pa^ rents, and his body is now in the mill i -t # _ tary graveyard norm or xuananao ^ with, the other three members of our regiment. I think we should make an effort to find the parents of this poor boy and let-them have his-body brought home. I doubt if his parents hate ever heard how he died. It was one ?f the saddest acts I had to? perform while in the army?buryiirg.- this poor, unknown boy. . The death rate.in our regiment-was l^ss than in :ilmost anv other regiment in the Seventh army corps, and this was due in a large measure to our faithful and f-ffici?-nt t-uraeon, Dr. WanDamaker; his able assistants, Drs. Griffith and Kiore, and our ever faith.f ful hospital corps.- They were untiring in their attention to the sick. I feel that I am in a position to tell of their faithful performance of duty, as I made it a rule to go to the hospital almost daily. Th? boy? always told k. t-r : me they had everything they wanted. The parents of those of our men who died can always rest assured that they had every attentien that could be given them. After we had been at Panama park about three weeks our sick li:'t reached I .lorrrn'mrrmmW Af 9H-1 T KpASfflft IVJLit; aiaiuiiug uuiMwi VA very much troubled about it, and I at once had a conierence with Dr. Wannanmaker. We sent a telegram to Gov. Ellerbe telling him of the alarmiDg condition of the'regiment, and asking him to telegraph to the secretary of war to have us moved at once. The governor telgraphed the secretary of war and I ?vas ordered to take the regiment to Savannah in ten days afterwards. Oar regiment was the first to arrive at Savannah. The men of this regiment should-always have the kindest feelings for Gov. Ellerbe, for he was always a great friend to us. On my return from Cuba I called on Gov. Ellerbe, and he said tome: k,I congratulate you and your regiment on the splendid record the regiment has in tTifi United States armv." I i thanked him and to.d him I agreed ! with him so far as the regiment was j concerned. i In conclusion, I beg leave to extend my most heartfelt thanks to all the officers and enlisted men of the regiI ment for their uniform kindness and courtesy to me while I had the honor of commanding them. The address was received with great applause, after which the following officorswere elected: President?Col. Wilie Jones. Vice Presidents?Maj. Eaves, Maj. Warner, Lieut. Col.

Mrs. Bordelon's version of the deplorable affair is said to be as follows: Her husbanG and Leon Bernard, who was a A Rmv5?lnn having V^UOUU Vi jk<ryA vkv^v**^ ? ?- v ^ a game of cards; not gambling, playing only for amusement. The wives of the two men were present and seemed to be bored by the game,.several times asked their husbands to stop playing.

Howard Patterson Presents Forcibly the Good Moral Effects Brought About Under the System. To the Editor of The News and Con rier: Otfing to the recent dispensary scandals there is a great hue and cry being made, by its enemiep, that the 3aw should be repealed. As one who Las always been in favox of the dispensary system I believe that now is the time for its friends to speak out. Before one commits himself against the dispensary he should consider the matter from every standpoint. Suppose, for instance, that the dispensary law is ' 5 f r Xsjpeaieu. aL UIU LCAI stssiun <_>i wo usjislature, what are you going to put in its place? ' There are but three way?, under the Constitution, to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors in South Carolina: ;Oae is under the dispeasary system, the second under the license system, aud the third to prohibit the sale entirely, exccpt for medicinal purposes. Consequently if the dispensary law is repealed you have either to substitute the license system in its stead or pro fcibit the sale of liquor entirely. While prohibition may be desirable, and 1 for one would advocate it if I deemed it practicable, yet experience has taught us that it cannot be enforced and that it would virtually mean free liquor. lhe evils of the license system we have seen and I hope will never be forgotten?when every town in this State had two or more bar rooms, with gambling hells attached, going night and day, debauching the youth and impoverishing the homes of our land. Common sense tells us that if the license system is adopted that the constitutional restrictions, such as not selling afror cnnHnwn Tint allowing lidUOr to be drunk upon the premises and the other"good features of the dispensary law would be ignored by the barkeeper. Whenever you place the sale of liquor in the-hands of a private individual, whose interest is t> make as great a . profit out of it ss he can, he will violate " the law! ' ' Upon the other hand what are the general results of the dispensary law? * ' i i o 1j_f? Although it has oeen iougnt irom the ' time of its enactmeDt, and every obstacle has been thrown in the way of its enforcement, yet I believe that I can truthfully say, without fear or contradiction, that it has reduced the consumption of liquor and the commission of crimes arising from the use of it' 50 per cent'. Looic at the towns' of our State before the adoption of the dispensary" system, and remember toff common it was for druoken men to be upon, the streets and what an unusual rtliiDgit is now. Take the town that I live in, for instance, and see what effect the dispensery law his had upon it. Under the license system we had lour or five bar rooms,.gcneaally with gambling dens attached, and almost every one of them was the scene of a murder and namer ' f KA A/lAnfi A? 0U3 Diuuuy Ugiiis. uiuto iuc auvytiuu of the dispensary law there has been but one homicide committed in this town, and that was not due to liquor, and there is now not a gambling hoa?e in the incorporated limits of the town. : Frior to the passage of the law rows and fights upon salesdays were common occurrences, now they are rare. Christ mas now seems like Sunday, before it was a day of drunkenness and debauchery. I have no doubt that the experi ence of tfamwell Has Deen tnatoi mo3t of the towns in the State. The dispensary law has relegated to the rear all of the allurements of the .license system,, such as the handsome glass mirrors, the billiard and pool tables and the card tables, and worst of all the social habit of treating, which has caused the ruin of more young men t&an any other feature- of the old bar room system.' it is not necessary io mention oiuer good features, of the dispensary, as thosp already named will cause men to . hesitate before adopting the license system, which once it is inaugurated will scon degenerate into the old bar room with all of its attendant evils. Let xis look at the dispensary from the point of view that is now agitating I th.2 minds of the people of this State. Should the system be abolished on account of the recent scandals in the i State dispensary at Columbia? isay by no means. , While I admit .that such scandals are calculated t-o inr jure the dispensary, and especially so as'there are men who have fought it from its "creation from personal and , political motives and who are eager to lay. the 'blame upon the system and not ' ?* ?" 1 _ * m-fr 1T1 fVlQ t [ Upen-llKJ UUiUlt&IB, JCli m^miu iu. iuv ! sjsjVm has never been shaken and I [ still believe that it is'the best solution ; or ihtf liquor problem that has ever been I-adopted. - The people of South Carot lita'-are too faopjliar with the good reSuits of the dispensary as to wish to dostroy it on account of the rascality of s?me of its officirls. You had as well jirgue that tl t janks should' be closed on account of the absconding of cashiers t.SW funds, or that th.2 State-Peni teutiary should bo abolished because of ciiei^eceut shortage of the superintendent, as to say that ths dispensary law should bg roppaled on account of the =conduct of the commissioner and $tiicr; dispensary officials I believe Nthat'ts a thunder storm purifies the "atmosphere so v/ill the recent exposures 'vg? misconduct clarify the dispensary system and that good will result therein J. -L 1? . T tV.Qf JJ~y IU LiiC J. auu vbiibiv .u.^%. the "welfare of the dispensary will be advanced If a speciil committee similar to the ODe that investigated the Penitentiary, be appointed at the next sesion of the Legislature whose duty it ;:shail be to turn on the search lights and mak^ a thorough.investigation concerning the mauacemmt and workings of the S'ace dispensary, and to expose oil micfnndnp.f-, rascalitv. if any. of the officia's, aDd tb:ic their report, be followed by icdictmont of tbe guilty parlies. I have ;oo high a regard for the character of the people of South Carolina as to believe that it is impossible to select men to manage the State dispensary who will cot steal and be bribed. To repeal the dispensary law for any such reason would be a disgrace to the honorable name of South Carolina. We nave any number of business men in South Carolina who >.an fill all of the positions under the dispensary law and who, upon the expiration of their terms of ofice, can leave tlio Li je, like Caesar's wife above suspicion. There are some weak points in the dispensary Jaw that have been made ; apparent by the recent scandals which should be corrected, one of which is the granting of beer privileges. Th?y are directly contrary to and in violation [ of the very spirit and object of the dis pensary system. They are nothing more nor less than Dar rooms and in the , large cities they are said to be adjuncts of "blind tigers." There should be no J distinction made between whiskey and , beer; both should be sold only by the regular county dispenser. The idea of delivering beer, as now practiced oy , beer dispensers, to consumers at their places of business, thereby encouraging ' the consumption of liquor, is repugnant to the Jaw and obnoxious to its friends Therefore-they should be abolished by law. The recent dispensary scandals have j also shown the dauger of allowing the , i 1.1? J names or liquor nouses anu.meir private brand? to appear upon the libels of the dispeaiary bottles. It is but an open ^ door to fraud and corruption. Nothing should appear upon the label of the dis- ] pensary bottle except the brand of the State dispensary and words or marks 1 showiDg the kind of liquor, the grade, , prico and that it has been analyzed. There is nothing new :n this sugeesiioo. as it is but returning to the rule adopted by the board of control under GovernorTillman's administration. There io nn roaonn tcViv fhp name fir hranfl of' the house from which the liquor is bought should appear upou the b.)ttle. The dispensary law was not adopted j for the purpose of advertising liquor j houses. Prohibit the appearance of these private brands and names of liq c uor houses, upon dispensary bottles entirely and you will thereby prevent dis- 1 honest commissioners and dispensers j r*\ V\ %Act-i r\r* nv\A nrfio finrp r? ^ n*\ ^ n rl v iivlu auu vfor tbe liquors of particular houses. My object in writing this letter is to expose the fallacy of the argument of 2 the enemies of the dispensary that because some of its officials have done wrong that, therefore, the whole sys a tem is rotten and corrupt and that it should be abolished, whereas the factsshow that the morals of our people have been improved under the dispensary * ? ? - - l - t- x 1 u law aocx tnat tu repeal it wuuiu uo ic trograding to the old bar roon, which was the bane cf the State. I b-lievtthat the dispensary will staud the storms of the future just as it has weathered s those of the past, and that safeguard? ' will be thrown around its. management that will prevent the recurrence of the scandals referred to. A. Howard Patterson. b Barnwell, S.

"The methods pursued by trusts in ittempting to influence legislation and he decision of courts should meet coniemnation from every honest, honorible and loyal citizen of the republic.

The introduction of . round bale iresses"means the establishment not inly of a cotton trust, but a feed trust, lu oil trust, a ginning trust, and the iiinihilation of every Bmall ginner in he cotton belt. To allow a round bale press in your ection means the revolutionizing of our business, the risk of putting yourelf wholly in the hands of a gigantic rust, the positive loss that you will ustain, and the almost certainty of he trust treating y<>u just as scores of inners have been treated after they lad been imposed u^on by the trust igents.

Unveiling of Memorials to ExPresident Jeffers?n Davis and the "Daughter of . the Confederacy." Thursday was another great Confed erate day in Richmond, the occasion being the unveiling in Hollywood cemetery,-under the auspicea of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, now in convention here, of the memorials to President Jefferson Davis and Miss Winnie Davis. The Daughters held a brief business session Thursday morning, during which various reports were read, and Mrs. Davis was made honorary president of the State chapter of the Daughters. Thursday afternoon the Daughters, in carnages, were escorted to Hollywood by aD imposing processio-n consisting of Confederate camps and military, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee riding at the bead cf the column. A. vast crowd had assembled on the hill overlooking the Davis plot in the cemetery and immediately upon the arrival of the parade the ceremonies were opened with prayer by the Rev. James' P. Smith, .D. D., who was on Stonewall Jackson's staff, and who threw himself between his general and the line of fire while Jaekson, mortally wounded, was beiag borne from the .field. In the Davis plot an easy chair had been provided for Mrs. Davis so that as the drapery fell she would faco the statue over her daughter's tomb. Over the grave of President Davis was a beautiful floral Confederate flag, the blue aad red being worked in immortelles and the white in chrysanthemums. The staff rested on a base, around which smilax was wound. After tfce^prayef Gov. J.

The next speaker was the Hon. < John H. Reagan, postmaster general j of the Confederate Stares, and the only surviving member of Mr. Davis' j cabinet. He was introduced by the j Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson. Judge Rea- , gan spoke very briefly, his remarks ] heing confined to a eulogy ?f his chief. 1 ITo cot/1 in ?oaiu xu "Mr. Davis possessed a combination of great qualities, rarely equalled and never surpassed. And in addition to these great qualities he possessed the most unselfish character I have ever known, and the most humane and merciful disposition, with a gentleness in domestic and social life, which commanded the admiration and respect of all who knew him.

The Washington correspondent of The Atlanta Journal saji "in spite of the Republican victory in Ohio and th? appcarent defeat of Goebel in Kentucky, the Democrats here are elated over the results of Tuesday and the Republicans and the members of the administration correspondingly chagrinded and alarmed. The defeat of the Democrats in Kentucky, even if true, is attributable to local dissensions an in no way to national issues, but the campaign in Maryland and .Nebraska was fought out purely on national questions, while the personality of McKiuley was made the test of loyalty in Ohio. ''The administration flooded Maryland with orators and the whole force of the government machinery was thrown across the district line to fix Maryland for imperialism in the coming fight to be made on that issue. Imperialism was the issue there and ih<* rrv to sustain the nresidenfc in time of war was made from every platform in proportion to the work done. The defeat of the administration there is signal and alarming. "In face of great odds and despite greafexpenditures of money in Nebraska Mr. Bryan carried his state on issuei he himself made. Before he entered the state it seemea conceded to tne Republicans. By his matchless campaign he stopped a flowing Republican tide and^turned the current against imperialism. The administration is keenly disappointed over the result in Ohio. The president expected his administration to be sustained by 75000 at least ia his own state. "The result does one thing?it eliminates Mark Hanna as the leading figure in the next national campaign. It is stated openly here today that the Y\oi?frr rr? 11 nrtf /I an> tn crr\ 1' k'c-i n 114 L*yjv uwiv w ?jv ia to another ?ght with Hanna-'at the helm. In fact, he himself realizes that, he has lost his grip, and the revolt against him and his methods in Ohio issufficient to cause him to withdraw voluntarily from the head place ron. the national committee. "I was told this morning by an eminent Republican that Mr. Hanna will call a meetiog of the Republican campaign committee at an early date,, when he w;ould tender his resignation. Yesterday's vote is a warning to him and the administration. One other thing the result makes certain, namely, that Bryan aod MeKinley will head the national tickets in 1900." DOUTHIT WINS HIS CASE. Ihe Prbc'sedSffa -fey' Which H? Was Dismissed Are Quashed* A dispatch from Columbia to the Grreenville News aays Judge Aldrich Sled his decission in.the Douthit case Wednesday. He reviews the case ; from start to finish, recites the minutes md tLs whole proceedings and concludes as follows: "I hold under the ; law and upon the face of the record, ' that it was an error of law on the part ] af the State board of control to remove : the commissioner by a several and sweeping resolution, as was done in thesi proceedings. It was argued that ! it required the concurrence of all the ; members of the board to remove the ;ocnmissioner for cause and that the 1 board could not do so by a mere majority vote. This position is sustained by the case of Gerter vs. the ( ;ommis?ioners, supra, but it is over- ( ruled upon the authority of the recent ( ;a.se of the Carolina Savings bank vs. , Evans, 28 S. 0., 5?1. Whereupon, it is ordered, adjudged and decreed: J first, that the proceedings of the State J hoard of control in the attemDted removal of the relator, J. B. Douthit J be. and the Fame are quashed, revised . and annulled; 2nd, let this judgment J and the papers and proceedings herein t be filed and made of record la the ( Dmce of the clerk of the court of com- , mon pleas of the county and State ( aforesaid; 3rd, let the said clerk serve 1 a. certified copy of this judgment upon 1 the State board of control, by serving - :J 3iliU UU U V UpUli IUC 1/liailJLUau Vl OdXU I board." ( The meaning of this appears to be : that the majority of the board may ] igain remove Douthit but must do it , by regular proceedings and after full ] bearing. ?? * A Costly Joke.

The vote for "Golden Rule" Jones was large in the cities, an^ Undoubtedly caused the deflection fron< the Democratic vote in Cincinnati, Cleveland and other big cities, eontribnting in^ large degree, if not being entirely responsible, for the defeat of Mr. McLean. The Republicans exerted every effort possible to save Ohio for their party, and the argument was made that President McKioley should be endorsed in his home state, and the result of the election may be attributed in part to a desire to sustain the president because of state pride. Nash, Re- ' publican candidate for governor, will have a majority of about 50,000 plurality. a vr'o ttvt rnrnnradt Akl O XU1A TAVJLVMAt The great victory won by the fusionists in Nebraska again demonstrates th? popularity of William J. Bryan in hi? home state and there is great rejoicing among his personal friends that the efforts made by the administration to cripple his strength have failed. The fusion majority will not be less tham 12,000 and may reach 18,000. Republicans make no effort to explain the causes, although a number of leaders in this city, differ with W. J. Bryan in , his statement tha. it is a rebuke tv the national administration. .

The official count, it is thought, will not materially change those figures. The Democrats elected eleven state senators for four-year * ? terms, which, with their four holdDvers, will give them fifteen out of a total membership of twenty-six in the upper house of the general assembly.
