laws are bulliies when Ii*-y are not .
fiunded on the will of 'lie people and nipported
by the forces mcessarjr for their
execution. This is atrivt'y true under a
popular f Tin of govemmet.t w litre the >'

have the people of thi< S ate signified in the
a'ightc-t degree that they wanted the Die*

will ot B. K. Ti lnian. It is a nuli'y. It
was conceived in sin, brought forth in .iui- ,
Loui'y, and i's execution is being forced
J^biroogh crimes of murd-r. These facts ar?

oulars to (be Trial Justices through'ut the
State threatening them with dismissal from

convict every one brought before theui,
whether guilty or not.
This monstrous man a Mimes all the pone's
<f the Executive, Legislative mid judiciary.
If he controls, liberty is dead iu this
6tatc. The sanctity of every home in the
Stnle from the mountains to the sea is liable
to be invaded at any hour of the day or
night by his e<*ns'nbles "ltd spies with murderous
intent. Already one quiet home i t
Spartanburg has been cutered under the
cover of the night, the occupant murdered
in cold blood ami lie spy killed.
It brcorars nil God-loving people to wash
their hnuds of this whole nns'y business.
1 he Smle is in n fearful condition and growing
worso each day. TiIIoihii w 11 so>ii
raise the floodgates and dc'uge tlic State
with whiskey. He is getting ready to do
so at the ear!i?st day [osnhle. The only
check to the flow of his whiskey will he the
lack of whiskey or money to buy it at Sd a
- worth only Si a gallon. The
- --r jr5"cn*ary law is the creation of Ids bri'in
i,ud will after sleepless nights, lie is n> t
working to improve the morals of the pcop'e
and to raise them in christian virtues. It
lie is, why is lie forcing his whiskey saloons
on dry counties ami dry towns'.' He is not
solicitous about ilie murals if the people.
He wanis the money that is in the whiskey,
lie wall's it to employ dispct^crs at large
salaries and to till the Stale with constables
and spies, lie wauls it as a corrupt-on
fund to extend Ids power over and in ike
sure his giin on the peon? ;:f the Si.dc.
He is not woiking for the good of the pt ople
II>s every act is conclusive that he i?
working for Jt. 11 Tillman's advancement,
for that and nothing else. 1 lie short time
he has been in otties lie has done more to j
destroy the pence, harm ny and prosperity J
of the people of the State tlian all the men
who hive occupied the position he now
holds from the foundation of tl.n government

No Reform In It.
We lake ilie following front '.be Lancaster
Itevute, edited by a staunch member of ihe
Alliance and his paper the organ of tbc Alliance
of tint county. It i.s it accord with
what we have been telling our Alliance
readers all along ; but, simply because the
politicians, ofhee holders and olfx-" -cclicr.".
ot tno so-called Reform Movement passed
the word a'ong the line, not to believe a
word that comes frotirnny individual or press
that <lil not belorg, body and soul, to thai,
or c u'd not swal ow every political dogma
they may introduce in the order what
we have said has fallen upon deaf ears stubbornly
close 1 against the hottest truth from
adsntenstel stanpoint:
The /{trine has worked for the Alliance
within what it has conceived t> he its legitimate
lines, is with the firuiers iu their
movement to tetter their condition :md believes
in gcuu no reform, but it takes no
slock in the "reform movement" as at present
conducted ill Souili Carolina. Some
good was at one time expected to j-esult
from ' the movement," but it has since dcgciirra
c l into a mere political machine for
adding incompetent and unprincipled men
into ollice. Now and then a good man gets
in, but such cases .ore rare indeed. Never
before in the history of this country liavo
so mnny grossly incompetent and densely
ignoruit men filled positious of public trust,
as is the case today, from 'lie office of trial
justice up to the United States Seuate.
Ileal reform has evidently heen lost sight of
hy the leaders in their scramble for ollice
In the meantime expenses and taxes aro

N ; bcciiusc we huvo been identified with
the Alliance is no reason why we should
not protest against the passage of iniquitous
laws aiut ngii'nst Tillman's rcTolutionary
methods.
There can he no question about the fact
that Governor Tillman, more than any other
one man, i- largely responsible for the mi:
fortunate si uc ot nfftirs now existing. We
told our people during the first campaign
that he would not make a safe ruler?that
his nature an I disposition showed a tendency
to dangerous extremes. Nothing in his
official life lias transpired to cause us to
change I lie opinion first foriuel of him,
though since his election we have endeavored
to treat linn with that respect and consideration
due the Governor of South t'arolin?.

A SAD SUICIDE.

c.f his mother, Mrs. Mary 15. Situs, near
Gowdeysville, by shooting himself w>?>: _
The cause that led t> the cominis.-ion
of the rash act was supposed to be
failing health and general despondency.
From the evidence given bofore the
inquest the deed was not al ogetber unexpected
011 the part of his mother and other
intiiuijte friends. He had frequently
spoken to them about destroying himself
and bad even suesrested the idea to some
tliut an easy way to ti e w?uld be by shooting

WKi.LFond, Feb. 4.?Th? iJlilsj nf Cr-?
ord Italic?r nnd tho wounding of l'erry
doore by State Constables near here last
light, was one of the coldest blooded out-ngrs
ever perpetrated in the name of law.
Itallew and Moore wire receut comers in
his neighborhood, from Greenrille comity.
1'hcy wcr? firmcrs living on tho farm of
[Jnpl. J. M. Benson, about two nrlos from
kVellford
According to the facts clicite I a*. Iho
Corouer's inquest, cue of Tillmnns spies
jHino io Ballew's hou*c about 11 o'clock,
pretending to be drunk, and asked hiiu to
iliow him the way to the railroad. Moore
lot his lantern and piloted the man to the
railroad. When thoy retched the railroad
Llhict Constable Fant and Deputy Sheriff
Dean, wi'h a posse of six Constables, halted
Moore, who not understanding what was up
broke ami run. The Coustublcs say he rnu,
but (ire t as lie ran. He says he did not
shoot until tired at, and is borne out in h s
statement by two disinterested witnesses
tad by some women who nrc related to the
dead uian. His leg w.?s shattered just
below the knee, ami lie fell crying for help
l'lie wounded mau's cries brought his
brother-in-law, Ballew, cut rf Irs house,
nbout fifty yards away.
The women at Ballew's house wetc very
much alarmed, and ia order to quiet them
Llallew left Moore on the grouud and ran
towards his house, lie was intercepted by
L'hief Fant, Deputy Boyce, Dean and several
others. According to the testimony of the
two disiuterestc 1 witnesses, the only word
spoken at this meeting was the heartbroken
i;?jr <?i siii vavii.ru itmiiihii, i mil i" hiinii;
please don't shoot hitn." She was answered
bj' the crack of a Winchester, ami Pnllcw
pitched forward into the anus ofdrnh. The
stillness which always follows death, the
agonizing shriek of a woman and the brutal
voice of a matt demanding of the woman if
there was any more "dammed inon about
here," and tnc tragedy was over. The testimony
of the constables differs from that of
Bahb and Gregory, the disinterested men
quoted before, who say that Hallow offered
no resistance.
The constables say that after Moore fired
and they had fired on him, they advance 1
toward Hallows house: that they met Kallew
Mid saw liitn advancing on them with drawn
pistols; that they covered him with shot
jntis and rifles and ordered him to throw
down his pistols, lie halted and lowered
one and partially lowered the other, fail
immcd ately presented his pistol again and
idvuneed until he was within ten feet of the
posse, Hoyco Dean and 1'unt telling him at
svery step to stop or they would kill him.
When ho got wi?hin ten feet, Masscy fired a
Winchester at him.
The crowning infimy of the whole proceeding,
however, was the attempt to pack
the coroner's jury to lay. As it was originally
drawn, the father and cousin of Dean
was on the jury. Mr. Andrew Moore, who
lias been employed as counsel '<*
r.>;..'dy called tlio attention < f the coroner to
the fact that the jury was being pneke I and
lienia'tdrd that Capt. A. II. Dean and a
drunken man by the name of Dobson citne
off. After consultation the sheriff, who is
I'apt. A. 11. Dean's brother, concluded to
withdraw them.
The jury was fina ly empaneled but adjourned
until next day to get the testimony
i i .Mip'n, i in: swij vi , v? iiu nu i nui itn iivu
up. Moore 1 ?y 0:1 the ground wounded all
night. Despite tlie fact tha' Paul cliims to
have seen a pistol in Hallow's hands, tit fifty
or sixty feel, the night was dark and raining.
No warrants were shown or attempted to
he shown.
The victims were not told of a warrant.
A warrant was for the father of the worndel
man, who snrrcidcrel and gave bond.
I here is no doubt but that the dead and
Wi'innle 1 in"?i would voluntarily have sttrenderrir
had I hey WoTrn ui irttT'o.?i u? .? ?.

Tnr IvM'Kt rr.i) Coroxku's Vkriuct.?"we,

raw lord Hallow, came t> his death on Fcbuarjr

hat he docs not believe that Elliott did wimt
c was charged with doing. The same jury
hat convicted El iott would not convict a

rhich shows that :i Charleston jury is not

All of which shows that the Editor
f the drttnviUf Mnunlitin^r did Tod
now what he was writing atouit.
There was no evidence that. Mrs.
iolu-'s husband wis running a blind

at the time, bcctitisc her husband was
ml at home and she was trying to help him

Carolina. Cklcht.?Ridgo Spring, 8. C., V
Jan 22.?Dr. J. B. Dubois. of Ridgo - I
Spring, has shown conclusively that as good . fl
celery can be raised in South Carolina as in / fl
Michigan. Last year Dr. DuUois planted a H
email patch as an experiment, and finding W
he ^uvcceU, he planted two anii dH
a half acres this year, lie is delighted with
the result. II'S celery is-now being put on H
the market, and in flavor and appearance it H
is tho equal of the best Katamozoo. It ir a
very cosily crop to raise, and as yet Dr.
DuUois cannot speak of the profit , p
made out of it, which is largely dejiondeut \ 1
upon the prices obtained for the^ofop. But \ M
liis present crop lias con mm un manioc
average cost reported from ih^North, and .
lie has the prospects of obtaining such prices
f ir it as to make it quite profitable.
Kidgc Spring feels that she is just an infant
in the fruit aud vegetable industry,
compared with what she can and will be.
Vet more than 60,000 cra'es of fruits and
vegetables were shipped from this point last
year. The principal raisers of fruits an!
vegetables are l)r. DuBois, 11. 11. Wa'sin
ami James A. Merrill. l)r. DuBois has ^
nbo-it seventy acres in peaches, plums, I
apples and peats. Mr. Watson lies about 1
the same. Between 30,000 and 40,000 fruit 1
trees have been set out by those engaged in 1
this industry around ltidgo .Spring this sea- 1
sou. 1
Besides celery, asparagus is the ouly J
Other vegetable Ilia* much attention is paid I
to here. Dr. Dullois lias about sixteei 1
acres in this plant, and it Ins prsved very M
profitable. fl
The subject of the establishment of a dis- I
pensnry here is not being agitated, and the fl
people have little fear of imio being forced fl
on them.?Special to the Slate. ?
