J Irby'H Interview. j;1.1 .senator Irby has been interviewed at great j ? length by the Piedmout Headlight, or rather I.C the Piedmont Headlight has given him an op- j :j,- * portunity to pour out his anathemas against I k* ] Tillman. j P. i We have regarded Irhy a* the most saga-1 ' clous man on his side, and the best politician ; p. _ that, the Reformer* have produced or brought j ije< to the surface. I R"' Gut his last utterance is unwise. He per-[ haps sees what everybody else knows, that; bis Senatorial days are numbered, and that j H. he will be rptlred at tho expiration of his {' term. jjr- . If this is not true, we think he is too wise .0 and sagacious to inake public such utterances ;1101 as are attributed to him. While he takes the ; b(^ proposed suffrage clause of the constitution j Xo as his text, all his shot is lired at Tillman, { T with evident purpose of weakening him with j the people, and as a result, the defeat of John j x Gary P^vans as a possible candidate for his inji seat in the Senate, and theonly purpose which ; * ? we can see for this onslaught against a possi- j sau ble successor Is to form an actual slate or' bill combination in his own typhalf against an im-1 ,tnc aginary slate which may have for its purpose J x the advancement ol the Interests of another, sau His fears that a slate has already been foi med j In Columbia will hardly warrant him in form, bill T ing one ai mis inue iu nuu>cun. The Senior Senator, it seems from his inter-1 view, believes there are three classes of peo-' bat pie in South Carolina namely: 1st. The i higher or more respectable people; Jd. The- ^ J* great middle class; and 3d, the lower class. Ian His interview seems to be an appeal to the ! JT latter class, some of whom may be disfran-1 jri, chised because of their illiteracy or lack ol j T Stf*. thrift. ;roc Asa political move, the utterance of the in-1 g?? terview of Senator Irby will prove to have sau but little eflect. The proposed suffrage plan j seems right enough, and Mr. Irby makes no ( -p pretense at offering anything better. I <tol Qui ? . ? . t j tiai Show Up. Yonne tienllempn.

Depot! n at tireenwood. cha citj ist Sunday morning the telegraph brought paj illigence of the killing of J. J. Moselev, >| ile In the discharge of his duty att.heG. Cal : N. Railway Depot in tne town 01 ureeD-1 m )d. I vis rom the various reports which have reach- { 3 \bbeville we concluded that the following j ing bout the facts of the case: Chi J. Moseley, who is a whiskey constable, R 1, the southbound train over the G. 0. & N. [ chu way at 1:10 Sunday morning. Various | ore kages of whiskey were received from j Dui train. Moseley announced that the wills- B. 1 which was for private use would not be M ;rfered with, but that he would seize such pre kages as were for persons whom he be- j tlm ed, or knew, were running blind tigers. it ile the whiskey was being transferred a I las* ro grabbed a package from the hands ol Api Mcintosh, the drayman, and ran off with terr Ah. Mcintosh fired at thp fleeing thief, lot* 1 J. J. Moseley also fired at him, but M ther shots took efiect. It is said that Mn seley and Mcintosh fired twine and that; ter, thief fired back once. Then Moseley was dlef t by some one in his rear. The pistol was ma: ced so near to his head that his hair was ! Ci red when he was shot. The thirty-eight att? bre ball entered the back part of his bend O sing through his brain and lodgingagaiuet anc skull in front. Moseley feil forward on run face and knees. He never spoke or mov- 0 i muscle after receiving the fatal ball. citj here seems to be little doubt that the ri th of Moseley was the result of a conspir- in t to take bis life. As a rule very few per- j s meet the night train, but on this night te a number oi negroes were present, I uy ot whom were noted characters, who | I been charged with various crimes. he; news spead abroad very rapidly, and ; sad fact was soon conveyed to the widow j I children. I jury of inquest was orgaulzed, and I T lalned in session during Sunday and Monenner Ray. Tom Peterson, Andrew Palr, Henry Jackson were arrested. Sunday rie( ning the sentiment was so strong against 1 0t oe of the men that lynching was thought wei ibable or possible, but more conservative (j|n ids governed. ersonally Moseley was an inoffensive h0I n, but he was zealous in the discharge of -p official duty, and gave satisfaction to the ^ vernment. He is ot an old and respecta- |0r' family. Among his kindred by blood or i'g , rriage are Prof. J. R C. DuPre, of Clemson me lege. Dr. Moseley, of Lowndesville, Sheriff , W. R. Nance, and many other good men. fr j[orrlble and bloody as was the deed, yet | ,jin ire is an element that does not experience ich grief at any misfortune that may come t0 >n any one who 6eeks to enforce the whis- of, 7 law of the State. This feeling of an tog- <1 sm to the dispensary law exists, and it Is hoi own that from the mountain moonshiner y ough all the degrees respectability to the vo. f dude are actuated more or less by the 5. i, ae deadly hatred U? any interlerence with \ 1 whiskey traffic. So strong and so pro- roJ. inced is this opposition to the curtailment 1 ery the liquor supply that men in various! \ Iks of life can be found who are ready for i on* perate deeds, and they are not without we) npathisers from among good citizens. ta ;ut. the war Is on. Time must prove .111, ether law and order, or whiskey and law- <jmess shall prevail iu South Carolina. I n v lie situation demands of the Government j sp,7 strictest and fullest enforcement ol the .ijl r. The Government ol South Carolina is I tnd to protect its officers. The shot which 1' led Moseiey was against au officer of the ! te, and therefore that shot was fired I iinst the laws and in resistence of tiie exe-1 ioo of the laws of the State, and it ma: ,bby Stale that does not protect its officers he discharge of their official duties to the < amon wealth. fblle there may be a demand for open bars, j 1 the laws of the State forbid the retail ol jj rituous liquors, and It is presumed that a |?

R Alliancemen of Abbeville County : H n pursuance with the action of tbe County B ii>nee on the JHh Inst, we ihe undersign- R committee would respectfully submit tbe X| lowing address to the iriends and members H l.l ie order. H eeply appreciating tbe worthy purposes 9| J intentions of the Alliance, and realizing H i lact, that its highest mission can be ao- jSl npllshed only through the united action JB 1 cooperation of its membership, we nestly appeal to all friends of the order to in building up its rxnks, and rendering it re effective for the accomplishment of H| ater .achievements in the luture, than in i past. E ,et no one foster the delusion that tbe Alii- 9 je has accomplished its mission and that re are no other victories to be won. When mm review its past history and recall the ?hty influence it has exerted over society, elevating the great mass of the people to a her plan of citizenship and to a fuller enment of the fruits of their labors; when consider the great financial benefits that ie accrued through its instrumentality, 1 the wonderful influence it has wielded linst centralized power and monopolisted litai, as in the case of the Jute trust^-we y indeed, with pardonable pride, proclaim - Allegiance to Its banner. But, fellow Al [icemen, the price of victory is eternal vignce, and while its past haa been made ii- [ _ trious by united and determined action, ; future may bring disaster, through inac-| nnud disorganization. History confirms! > fact centralized power, and consolidated >ital are a standing menance to all free retdlcan institutions. Such is tbe crisis that lfronts us today and it becomes the masses the people, the great middle class, which I ' all ages, in all civilization in all countries, i always proved itself tbe surest and safest endender of civil and religious liberty, to jserve inviolate the sacred legacy corn- ft tted to its trust. ind how can this be effeotually done exit in an organized capacity? In imlon ly is there strength. We therefore appeal all who are iieglble to membership and r?nhf>rish the love ol home and country join the Alliance, and thus give strength t,be order. 'or some time, we have watched the varl- fW ; vicissitudes through which the Alliance i passed and have observed its gradual de- -M ase of numerical strength, notwithstand- ten ;lhat there was no diminution of interest aha the principles of the order, We believe it this condition was the result of const!- ?,sl ionul requirements. The State Alliance feac llzing this, and the importance of increas; the membership and reviving all dorm sub Alliances, at its last meeting, ended the constitution by reducing tbe jfj ;s, to a nominal sura to be paid annully on before the ?lst of December, Another spe- J] I reason for re-organization of dormant Al- ?ss aces is, that the State Exchange has Issued tiflcates of stork to all the sub Alliances . it contributed to the exchange fund. et?ll ese certificates are now held by the County ju \ jstee Stockholders, who can deliver tnem y to organized sub Alliances. It is there- "Tl e incumbent upon them to reorganize, and \i send up regularly appointed Trustee V ickholdere to the next county quarterly eting in Jauuary to receive them. r n conclusion, may we not confidently in- jr. ge the hope that the sympatny and aid of 3o c good citizens of whatever avocation will be Ijgh ended Ihe order in advancing the agrlcul- fln i al interest, lor upon its advancement de- *ru ids our common prosperity.
