THE PEOPLE DO PULE.
The General Assembly is now A
wrestling over the liquor question. I
The debate was precipitated by Mr. }
Mauldin's local option bill, whicb, in c
substance, provides that an election t
shall be held in the several counties t
of the State whenever desired to de- e
cide between high license for the sale a
of liquorp, the dispensary system or c
prohibition: or, in other words, each li
county shall have the right to man a
age the whisky question as it may o
deem best for its own interest; to t
say whether or not intoxicatiug li- r
quors shall be sold as a beverage, and t
if so, whether through the dispensary fc
or by high license, or whether the sale
of liquors for such puipose shall be
prohibited and their sale restricted 8
t > certain uses. a
The members who have aired their c
eloquence before an admiring audi r
ence on this issue so far are about ^
evenly divided as between dispen- ^
sary and high license and the settle- ^
inent of the question will evidently ^
be made by those members who are 8
lying low and saying nothing. 0
The opponents of the dispensary ^
law, after being driven from pillar to
post, have made a last desperate effort
to carry their point. They now
tell us that the dispensary system of P
controlling the sale of whisky is a ^
disturbing element among the peo- w
pie; a thorn in their side which pro- t'
duces constant irritation and aggra- S
vates their passions, and it should, |
therefore, be repealed and high li- 8
cense substituted in order to biing c
about that perfect reconciliation and 0
perfect harmony and peace which is w
sVmuch desirable. In some respects
this is doubtless true. But who are
the ODes that are continually agitating
this question but an insignificant X
minoiity who have failed to under- n
stand the handwriting on the wall t]
and have rushed madly to their ruin. c
No isEue could have been more clearly f(
drawn, more stubbornly fought and f(
more ably defended than were those 0
of dispensary, prohibition and high ]\
license in the last State campaign. ^
"We are told that from one end of the t,
State to the other, the merits of the gl
*"* ? >?^tbree systems were clearly and un- c
mistakably presented to the people; s
the question of Reform and Cbnser- g
vatives was not discussed; that no
appeals to the passions of tbe peoj 1 * g
were made, therefore, it is reason- w
able to presume that the people ex- c
ercised^tbeir calm judgment in the d
disposition of this question. And h
yet the result conclusively proves,
notwithstanding the unholy alliance f<
between all the elements opposed to li
the dispensary system, that an over- c
whelming majority was registered a
against the combination and in favor p
of the dispensary as represented by g
the vote received by Mr. Ellerbe for a
Governor, who stood for the dispen- a
sary in the first and last primary. b
We can very readily understand c
? i n i i n _ t
way unariestoD, ixuumuia, urrteu- *
ville aDd other cities and towns are *
so anxious that the "dear people"
should be given an opportunity to de- fi
cide for themselves, because it is a g
conceded fact that the strongest, the v
most bitter and the most violent op- jj
position to the dispensary, and prohibition
for that matter, comes from t
paople residing in those places, and b
in view of this fact, they are aware
that, by the adoption of a bill pro- u
vidiDg for local optioD, it is possible o
for a minority to make the policy F
of the majority nugatory and of no n
effect. If they are honest in their J.
demand that the people should rule, b
in the name of common sense, why don't
they allow the people to rule
in peace and quiet? They have unmistakably
declared for the dispensary
system of controlling the sale of
whisky, then why not let it standi
"Why have they fought the will of
people so persistenly since 1800 as
expressed through the ballot box? E
We are very much afraid that it is '
not so much a desire that the people
shall rule as it is a desire to cripple ?
the dispensary and to deal a death V
blow to the growing prohibition sentiment
which now obtains in this State b
If this can be accomplished, then a a,
return to the open saloon, with all its
enticiDg allurements to debauch and "
C
rum our sodp, is only a question of n
time. ^
We must confess that we cannot J
understand how tho honest, earnest si
prohibitionist can join forces with g
the whisky element to accomplish an
end which has already been provided Jj
for in the dispensary law. The ^
oerreement nf the nnholv alliance, if V
"6"" "" " j - ? - j v.
we understand it aiight, is lucal op- ?
tion by the provisions of which each j ^
municipality shall say how whisky I ^
shall be sold, if sold at all. By ! h
this method a large per cent, of the j
cities and tow ns will declare for high to
license through which the vendor j gc
will make his profits by the amount ! *t
P<
of liquors he sells, and the prohibi- t0
tionists will be relegated to the rural ^
iftricts where the gale of wbiskv is
lready prohibited by law. The disenspry
law provides for the interest
f the prohibitionists by prohibiting
be sale of whisky in aDy town witbut
two thirds of the freeholders
rst petition for an election and a
laj )rity vote of the twonship tie
lares for its sale. Let us hold on to
hat we have and press onward and
ot go backward.
We are glad to know that the Hon
dtamont Moses has been elected a
Representative from Sumter county.
Jr. Moses has represented that
ounty in the Senate, and duriDg Lis

hat body and his judgment was genrally
sought on important measures
nd his opinions given the utmost
onsideration. His career was biiliant
as well as useful to his immedite
constituents, as well as the people
f the State at large. We predict
hat his course in the House will be
tone the less wise and judicious and
he whole State will be given the
lenefit of his valuable services.
Governor Eilerbe has been a very
ick man for the past several weeks
nd at one time during bis illness his
ondition was such as to render his
ecovery almost hopeless and his
eath was momentarily expected by
is family and friends. We are glad
:> learn, however, that he rallied and
as so far recovered as to be abl6 to
it up, and it is now only a question
f a short time when he will be at
is office reciiving the congratula
ions of his numerous friends.

A Favorite Resort. ?
Cold weather has not all gone yet. '

f Columbia, of which, Mr. W. H 1
lonckton is the efficient manager, '
as determined to dispose of all winer
goods at greatly reduced figures,
o as to give the shivering public a
hance to be warmly clad in goods 1
uitable for winter wear. These
oods are not shelf worn or an old 1
tock, but fresh and seasonable
oods, embracing some of the finest
reaves from the best looms in the
ountry. Ju3t such goods as will ,
elight a woman's heart and tickle
er vanity.
Beside this line there can also be
ound in this establishment a full
ne of dry goods, notions, shoes,
lothing, hats and in fact every
rticle usually found in a well appointed
department store. The
reat values which can be obtained
t this place are genuine eye openers
nd are attracting the attention of
ruyers everywhere. Having ample
apital and an experience buyer in
he person of Mr. Monckton, opporunity
is taken cf every forced sale
f desirable goods and thence be

Oue of the pleasiDg features about
bis et t iblishment is that prompt
ni polite attention is guaranteed
very customer and no attempt is
made to force an article on a customer
who do*s not wish it. The sale
f goods is the incentive and low
nices and goods are the inducements
for customers to purchase. If

A sick man cannot be happy: be cannot ]

MORE BLOODSHED, !
COMBINED CHADGE CABBIES CALOOCAX
Manila, Feb. 10,-7:40 p. in.?The
American forces at 3:30 this afternoon
made a combined attack upon
Caloocan and reduced it in short
ordc* At a signal from theto.verof j
the de la Lome church, the United
States double turreted monitor Monadncck
opened fire from the bay with
the big guns of her turret on the
earthwoiks, with great effect. Soon j
afterward the Utah battery bombarded
the place from the land side. I
The rebels reserved their fire until j
the bombardment ceased, when they j
fired volleys of musketry as the Montana
regimaDt advanced on the j
j ingle. The Kansas regiment, on j
.? i.it ?.:,u iKa TI,:,,! i
me extreme ieu, ?nu iuc xunv* i
artillery deploying to the light, [
charged across the open and carried j
the earthwoiks cheeiiog under a j
heavy fire. Supported by the artillery
at the church, the troops further
advanced, driving the enemy, fighting
every foot, right into the town
line, and penetrated to the presidencia
and lowered the Filipino flag at
5:30 p. m. The enemy's sharpshooters
in the juDgle on the right fired
at long range on the Pennsylvania
regiment, but the rebels were soon
silenced by shrapnel sbellp, and the
the Pcnnsylvanians remained in the
trenches. As the Americans advanced
they burned the native huts.
The rebels were mowed down like
grass, but the American loss was
slight.
Tbe monitor Monadnock which has
played such an important part in the
battles around Manila, has four ten
inch guns. They are breech-loading
rifles and can fire steel projectiles
weighing more than 500 pounds to a
distance of 12 miles, although it is
probable the gunners would make
more misses than hit3 at that range.
Gen. Otis has notified the department
at Washington, that he had
been obliged to buy.a large number
of horses to supply the transportation
needed, owing to the lengthening
of the American lines. These
borsep, so called, are really the little
Dative Filipino ponies, which, it is
3aid at the war department have been
found to be the best animals for pack
and draft purposer that can be secured.
Some big American horses
have been taken to the islands by
the troops but they have sickened
and died and altogether have proven
to be wholly unfit for the climate.
On the other hand, Gon. O.is reports
that he has mounted several troops
of cavalry on the little native ponies
with good results.
Secretaty Alger says he has not
sent any instructions since the beginning
of hostilities and would send
none. He fully expects that Gen.
Otis will make no terms with Aguinaldo
while the latter is armed, and
that a condition precedent to dealing
with him at all is the return of the
insurgents and the surrender of their
arms. Certainly Gen. Otis is not expected
to now take any action that
will amount to a recognition of the
insurgents as a foe to be treated with
on the basis of an independent nation.
For reasons that they will not di- j
/In nr>K PTnpf>t. fhfi at- !
' "*6^ ? ?- ?t ? j
tempt to be made to land the j
American troops at Iloiio immediately,
though that was the understanding
a day or two ago, based on Gen.
Otis' advices as to his intentions. It j
is possible that it has been concluded !
to be good policy to allow the natives J
iq Panay to learn for themselves the j
disastrous fate that has overtaken j
Aguinaldu's forces in the neighbor- j
hood of Luzon, hoping that they may !
be induced to abate their resistance !
to Gen. Miller's attempted landing.
Then, too, as there are considerable
foreign interests iu this town, which
is second only to Manila iu the Philippines,
it may be deemed necessary
to give formal notice of the American !
purpose to attack the place in order !
to enable proper precautions to be
taken. Iloiio is distant from Manila i
350 miles, and the waters between j
are not easy cf navigation.
Aguinaldo is reported to have es !
tablisbed his headquarters at Malabon
for the purpose of rallying his
forces for a decisive blow.
Home soldiers belonging to the
Fourteenth infantry unearthed several
tons cf Spanish shtlls, evidently j
stolen from the arsenal at Cavite and j
bidden by the rebels in the vicinity ;
of Parana que. Fifteen cat loads of !
ehtlls have been brought in here, j
The troops also found a modern naval I
jun and parts of its mount, which j

Mrnila. Feb. 14 ?9:41 a m ?Th) [
United States gunboat Petrel arrived !
late last evening with dispatches
from Brig. Gen. Miller to Mnj. Gen j
Otis, announcing that Iloilo had been
taken by the combined military and
navy forces on. Saturday morniDg.
Gen. Miller, on receipt of his instructions
from Manila, sent the
native commissioners ashore from
the United States transport St. Paul
with a communication for the rebel
governor of Iloilo calling upon him
to surrender within a time stated,
and warning him not to make a
demonstration in the interval. The
rebels immediately moved their guns
and prepared to defend their position.
Thereupon the Petrel fired two
warning guns, and the rebels im
mediately opened fire on her. The
Petrel and the Baltimore then bom j
barded the towD, which the rebels, j
having set on fire, immediately evac j
uated. Americau troops were
promptly landed and extinguished i
the fires in all cases of foreign prop- i
erty, but not before considerable j
damage had beeD done.
It is believed that the enemy's loss j
during roe Domoarumeui was ntrci*^,
but no American ca6ulities are re
ported.
The Twentieth Kinsas and the
First Idaho volunteers have bec-n re
called from the marsh lands north of
Malabon, and the former regiment is
now entrenched in fiont of Ctlcocau.
The American lines form a complete
cordon, 22 miles in length, from the
coast north almost to Passqua, south
of Manila.
There has been no change in to- \
day's position of the troops, except !
that the Fourth Uuited States cav- j
airy has relieved the First Idaho
volunteers and a battalion of the
Twenty-third infantry has been
stationed on the left flank to prevent j
the rebels sneaking along the btach.
The enemy are busy throwing up '
entrenchments on their left, sharp- :
I
shooters being in the jungle covering j
their operations. Several America ds j
were wounded in the trenches.
All the enemy's dead at Cdoccau j
have been buried?127 last Sunday
and 300 yesterday. The United
States crusier Charleston has moved I
up the coast and is now off Malolos, j
the seat of the sc-culled Filipino gov j
ernment, at a distance estimated at I
I
about eight miles.

Native papers asseit that at a con-j
ference at MaLlos on Thursday, |
February 2, Aguiualdo's generals j
petitioned for an immediate and j
formal declaration of war. Aguinal- j

that he had promi:ed the foreign!
consuls at Manila that war would i
not be declared without due warning, i
After the capture of Caloocau a
Spaniard who had been a prkonc-r ;
there came to the Americans, holding j
up Lis hands, and said the Filipinos
had offered to release the Spaniards, j

would undertake the fight against

the Spaniards refused, and even j

Fob an army of soldiers who *
are fighting lor a living these hard
times In South Carolina. We, of the firm
of Barriss & R&st, do hereby cordially invite
any and all eligible men and women
who desire to save their hard earned money
to call upon us when contemplating purchasing
buggies, carriages, etc., also harness,
which we manufacture, and guarantee
all that we sell to be well worth every penny
which we ark for them. '
We also take this opportunity of stating
to our numerous customers that we are very
sorry indeed that we have been unable for
the past seven motbs to supply the demand#
made r.pon us owing to the 1 act that we
have been quite unable to employ the skillful
labor necessary to keep up a supply of
goods to the standard which we piomised
when starting out in this business. But
now, being sble to employ to labor the '
need we hope to be able to supply the
steady increasing demands upon us with
the same, if not a better grade of work.
Hoping to see our old customers, with new
recruits coming to us in the future, we beg
to remain your obedient servants,
