The County 1i1oard iet on the 21st of
August last,, and the petition of Lang.
stori for the ollice of ouity iispi-nser
was presented andot oitainud1 55 names,
21 wnites and :11 colored. 'lhe i li. of
non signers cont.bned 71 whites and 2
colored. The bo,rd refused to appoint
J!"Illgstoln on account of not having a
inajority of freehold voters as signers
and it was so recorded by t hil r secre
ary in their iinute,;.
Last F'riday, Septenier Ist Instant,
the enclosed printel call wi itten by the
county chairman, 11. E_. Gray, appeared
in the I auirens II eraid for tho I ioard to
meet oil the -filh inst., which for rai
partisanship and wanton, Ilings at pro
hibitionists and church memibers, is
hard to surpass. Well, t.he board inet.
and the fact, was ascertalined that i le
old petition was viewed as was circu
lated alter the case was ajudicated on
the 21st, and when it was known that
parties whosigned wanted their inues
oil', and thirty-four negroes aiid iiine
teen whites were added-lifty-t.hree in
all. One of these.J. IL. I rby, declared
in niv presence anti t.hat, of several
othAs, "tiat his Iainle had buen ist-.1
without his atitlioriy, anl that. he did
not want to ie illixed u1p with it."
Well, here were ilty-Lhret, names add
ed to the petition which were never on
file in the clerk's oflice a single day as
the law ruquired. Where did these now
freehold VoL.ers come tro?i y 11. E'.
Gray, chairman, sou.lded the keynote
when he said in his call: "Every citi
zen of this incorporation should be en
franchised oii a question where he is
so much interested." And the busi
ness of eniraichising landless citizens
began, in order to evade and deleat th
law and the will of the peoph.. Since
the board met on the 21st ultiinto litty
three new names had beii en 1'ranchised
and added to t h petition, besides six
other names who had previotisly sign

FEARFUL ON THE ISLANDS.
Frf a a Most Truntworthy, Sotree-iFirnt
Iteport In a 'veek.
Jorluin A, S. C., Sept. II.-ip to
late the only accurate report that the
outside world has obtaineti of the real
condition of affairs on the sea islands
of Sotth Carolina was from Dr. Bab
cock upon his return from the islands.
It has been some time since that report
came. Since then there has been noth
ing further to indicate the horrible con
dition of the people and the country,
but The State is enabled today to give
a most graphic and complete report, of
this character, which comes from per
haps as reliablo and well-posted a mait
as there is in the State, a man
thoroughly intimate with the
territory, which he describes. This
report is in the shape of a personal let
ter received yesterday by Col. .Joseph
Daniel Pope from a rel ttive, Dr. )an
tel 'r. Pope. Col. Pope kiidly sends a
c py of the letter to The State, saying
that "it gives a better account than
anything I have seen from l'-iisto, and
it will be read with interest Iv many
friends throughout the State." hIere
is the letter:
EI)IsTo ISLAND, Sept. '., 1893.
I got back hono a lew days ago. I
started from Saluda just as soon as
communication was open to the island.
I wanted very much to stop one night
with youl il Columbi, bit as I could
not hear from home I was anxious to
get throutgh. When I reached home I
found the account of the( disaster on
our coast. was not at all exaggerated.
Wherever the eye turned there was
nothing but riin and dlevastation, the
crois hopelessly d'st royi d. My hotist
was tinroofted, the tin stripped ofl' the
whole of the back anId se-vera Iarg!
trees in the yardl blown down. Mylawn
looks as if a lire had passed over the
trees, not a green leaf on many.
My crop, I fear, will be a total losi.
'The cotton has been stripped of nearly
all the fruit except the very oldest, on
the stalk,and my corn blown down lat
to the grotand, and touch of it in water.
it has been raining incessant ly ever
since the storm, so I am told; and since
my return it has rained every day, and
sometimes all day--what the ip coui
try farmers call "root soakers." It
came town in torrents, so that I fear
what little of the crops remaiing in
the field will be lost or hadlv damaged.
The outlook is worse than when we
caine hack after the war, for at, that,
time the people were encouraged by
the high price of cotton and everybody
could get what credit, he nee ld in t Ie
way of supplies; but now I see nothiing
ahead staring tus in the face, for the
colored population, but starvation.
I fear many of the whites are in the
same fix; some have saved nothinlg bit
the clothes on their hacks. It, is goingr
to be a serious thing to know how we
are goiUg to feed these people without,
bringng additional trouble here. since,
if the negroes are fed they will not
work any more; so that if there not he
a very judicious distribution of the
charity, more harm may be done than
good. Many are now looking to the
government to come to their rescue.
They have been the "government's
wards" so long that they look upon it as
a certainty, an(d are not disposed to go
after work to better their condition.
The whites will not be able to give
much, it any help, in the way of' work
for they are not able to (to so. Then,
their situation cannot be hettered untit
another crop is idtle and it will be at
least nine tmonths before any material
help from their own ellorts cai be re
alized in the way ofh a crop. .-list, as
soon now as t he gleanings which they
are getting from the fields are exthusit
ed they must be recipients of charity.
I have never seen such dt'vast at ion.
The storms of Pi51 although it lasted
t,wo or three (lays can't be conu paired I a
it. My losses I can't.heg in to e'sitimate.
hlow nmuchi I wi'll reah/,.o I tear to say,
but when I loiok around and1( see others
so muich worse thian I am, I tenn oinly
say thank God that I have somethin'g
lef t. 1 even lost mny last year's corn.
TIhe storm dirove the rain~ so violently
under the shingles that t.he corii was
thoroughly wet and it heated and
rotted. After I got home, I had it. im
mediately hauled away and dumnped ini
to the lot I have for hogs. 5 1 that has

regubarity of the action of the County
IHoard arose from not having the peti
tion on tile ten (lays required by laff.
We will not lend ourselvesto anything
that is unlawful in establishing a )is
pensary at Laurens, though we know
that a Dispensary is the safest and
cheapest renedly against blind tigers,
and that he State constables cannot be
paid except from the rovenue derived
from )ispensaries.
I will onIly endeavor to enforce the
lispensary law where )ispensaries do
not, exist until the Legislature meets,
anid t lhen ask that the prohibition coun
ties which object to )ispensary shisil
suipport the cons',ables by taxation. If
you are a friend to the Dispensary law
you will not lend your influence to our
enemies and the enemies of prohibition
to prevent the est ,blishment of at
leaqt one Di)spensary for each county.
I hope you understand by this time that
tie struggle is not one between prohibi
tion and the )ispensfry, but a struggle
between the )ispensary and t.he license
system, whicli we have just, over
thrown. I shall write to the chairman
of the County Hoard that his board
must. comply with the terms (it the )is
pensirv law before a )ispensary can
be established in-Laurens.
Yours respectfully,

(Iovernor Tiliman has written Coin
ty Chairman Gray informing him that
the action of the Laurens County loard
of Control ill appoint,ing a Dispenser at,
L-atrens was nill;t arid void, because the
pi'tit.ion had not, been oi file the ten
(lays require,l by law ibefore action can
he taken.
The error of the Laurens ioard arose
from a misconception of the law. The
pet it ion h;iadt been on file for a couple
(4 inontis before the board acted;

nmim r of signat,ures rtulired by law.

Theii lichardson made the poit t;that

ruled against him and the bill was
