CONDITIONS IN CHEROKEE.
A Well Informed Witness Gives Interesting
Testimony.
Editor Yorkvllle Enquirer:
I have lately received so many Inquiries
from Yorkville and vicinity
in regard to the whisky situation here
since we have gotten rid of the "G. M.
I." In Cherokee that I have concluded
to ask you for enough space to answer
a few of the questions which
have been propounded.
The situation here is such a vast improvement
upon the conditions which
prevailed prior to the voting out of the
dispensary that I scarcely know where
to begin. In the first place the consumption
of whisky has decreased in
this county at least 90 per cent since
the closing of the dispensary. You
might ask how do I know this? Simply
from the fact that I have not seen
a man under the influence of whisky
in two months, and that I have not
seen half a dozen drunk men since last
November, when we got rid of the "G.
M. I." Prior to last November, we had
mayor's court often two or three times
a week and on every Monday morning
there was a regular matinee of drunks
and disorderly, since then we never
have court except on Mondays and It
is frequently the case that have no
Monday's session, indeed for three
weeks at a time we had no session of
the mayor's court. The day before
Christmas of 1903, I saw at the least
calculation one hundred people staggering
drunk on the streets of Gaffney,
the day before Christmas of 1904. there
were equally as many people here as
in 1903 and I did not see a single drunk
matv The dispensary was situated
diagonally across the street from my
office and I have time and again seen
people go there and spend their money
for whisky whose children were without
proper clothing, and in some cases
without food.
The circumstances of at least half
dozen families (whom I have in mind)
have vastly improved since the dispensary
has closed.
In my opinion the dispensary is a
manufacturer of drunkards. I am told
that there are numbers of individuals
in the town of Yorkville, and in York
county who are drinking whisky to excess
who were never known to drink
before. If this is a fact isn't that
enough within Itself to condemn It in
the mind of every sane man or woman?
My observation has been that the
more convenient you have whisky the
more of it will be drunk. To illustrate:
Sam Jones who is not a drinking man
to any extent, only takes a drink occasionally,
comes to town, walking by
the dispensary he feels like a drink, he
walks in and buys a bottle. Now, if
Sam had to go to the trouble of hunting
up a blind tiger he would do without.
Speaking of blind tigers there
is decidedly less blind tiger whisky
sold here than before, and the reason
for it is because when a man was
arrested for handling he could dodge
behind the dispensary and say he
went there and bought it for accommodation,
but now with no dispensary
to hide behind almost every case is
convicted and the tigers have gone so
deep into their lairs that it is seldom
we hear of them.
I have It straight on unquestionable
authority that the shipments of
whisky to Gaffney are less than one
fourth of what they were just arter
the closing of the dispensary, and I
am in a position to know that the
larger part of the whisky that Is
shipped here now Is brought to people
who did not patronize the dispensary.
I sincerely hope Mr. Editor that the
people of York county will rise up In
their might and vote out this greatest
evil with which they have ever had
to contend. I am fairly convinced
that If we had to vote on the question
again that we would vote It out 20
to 1. James B. Bell.
Gaffney, S. C., August 11,1905.
Noth:?Mr. Bell Is a former citizen
of Yorkvllle. He has been living In
Gaffney for the past ten years or
more, and being both city attorney
and United States commissioner, Is
peculiarly well Informed on the subject

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
? Messrs. Cole Blease and Boyd
Evans spoke In Union last Saturday
against the abolition of the dispensary.
Blease announced his purpose
to be a candidate for governor on the
dispensary platform, and Evans said
he proposed to fight the Brlce law to
the last ditch, even though he should
be opposed by every man in the state.
? A local desperado named McGaha.
terrorized the town of Honea Path
last Saturday night. During the afternoon
he filled up on cheap liquor
and started home. He returned at
L about 9 o'clock and commenced riding
up and down Main street, firing
I his pistol right and left. A hundred
" or more citizens collected along the
streets and many of them returned
the fire; but nobody was hit. McGaha
was finally arrested and committed to
the guardhouse. There was some
talk of lynching him. but sober counsel
prevailed.
? Lancaster special of Aug. 11 to
News and Courier: Capt. Bartlett
^ Jones Witherspoon of this place, died
at his family residence this morning
at 9 o'clock In the seventy-third year
of his age. The funeral services will
be held at the Presbyterian church, of
W which he was a member, at 11 o'clock
W tomorrow morning. Captain Wltherr
spoon served with distinction in the
Confederate army in the defence of
Charleston until Its evacuation in the
spring of 1865. He held many positions
of public trust, having been several
times mayor of Lancaster and
past grand master of the Masonic fraternity
in South Carolina. He left
surviving him two sons. Marion S.
Witherspoon of this place, and Dr. B.
J. Witherspoon of Charlotte, and two
daughters. Mrs. Jas. K. Hall of York
county, and Miss Connie Witherspoon
of Lancaster. Captain Witherspoon
had many friends in Charlotte.
? Columbia. Aug. 12: Two years ago
the Southeastern Tariff association
was allowed to en'er this state and
there is now talk of putting it out of
business again. The association was
forced to retire from this state about
six years ago and when it re-entered
it was with the promise of lower rates.
It is now claimed that the rates have
not been lowered, but in most cases
Increased. There were no regular rates
before its entrance and companies
were accustomed to cut under each
other or if not that they had no combined
system of Inspection and there
could be no unity on rates. Complaints
have been filed, but inspectors
say that when a good strong kick is
filed about an increase, the kicker
sometimes gets concessions that quiet
him and therefore the proof is difficult
to obtain. On the other hand,
the association claims that it is but
equalizing the entire state. It says
that in many cases the rates were too
low for a profit and in other places
the rates were too high. Just how it
will end nobody knows.
? W. Boyd Evans appeared before
Judge Townsend at Union last Friday
~ r.r.r. an injunction that
mm a ??.
would restrain the holding of the
Brice law election today. The claim
for the injunction and the petition
were based on three main constitutional
points. First, that in the act
passed by the last legislature in regard
to these elections, no specified
time Is laid down for these elections,
which should therefore take place
at the same time as the general
elections. Second, the act above
mentioned Is In direct conflict with
the inhibitory section of the constitution
of the state which leilares
that: "Where a general law can be
made applicable no special law shall
be enacted." Third, that the legislature
cannot delega'e the police power
to counties or communities. Judge
Townsend ruled that the law cited
was insufficient and that there were
too few facts. He tofd Mr. Evans that
he could appear again if he desired,
with more law and more facts.
? A freight wreck occurred on the
spur line of the Southern railway which
runs from Pacolet station to the Pacolet
mills shortly after midnight yesterday
morning, as the result of which
forty-three box cars were smashed into
smithereens, and a member of the
1/ w.
train's crew slightly injured. A train
was being made up from a string of box
cars on the side track, and it was
thought that the work had been finished.
The locomotive had coupled up
the cars switched loose, and gone to a
tank some distance off. for water. In
the meanwhile the coupling was discovered
defective, and forty-three cars,
two loaded with lumber and the others
empty coal gondolas, were running at
uncontrollable speed down the heavy
grade from the side track to Pacolet
mills. At the terminus of the spur
stood an engine, belonging to the
Southern, but used by the mill company.
and the force of the shock by
the cars dashing into it, completely
demolished it. The cars were knocked
into kindling wood. The loss runs up
into the thousands.
? "A negro calling himself John
Harris," says a Gaffney correspondent,
"has been at work in this county,
representing himself to be a government
pension officer, and the personal
representative of President Roosevelt
In this section. He was quite successful
in his plan. whK h was about
as follows: He would go to all negroes,
men and women, over fifty
years of age, and represent to them
that they were entitled to a pension
and if they would pay him II to
help to defray his expenses he would
see to their receiving a pension. He
would have them apply for a certain
amount and would agree to have It
delivered to them within ten days and
also $12 per month thereafter. In
this way he secured quite a sum of
money from Ignorant negroes In Cherokee
county. His field of operations
extended quite a distance but his base
of operations was Blacksburg. He
made his headquarters there. Harris'
accomplice has been captured by a
government officer at Blacksburg, but
as yet Harris is at large and he is the
one the government officials at Gaffney
are especially anxious to capture,
as he was said to be the instigator of
the scheme. The United States authorities
at Gaffney are making a vigilant
effort to apprehend him and
hope to succeed In locating him In
the near future."
? Columbia Record: The case of Jim
Leonard of North Carolina, is not settled
yet, although the board of regents
of the hospital for the Insane have decided
by resolution that he should not
be admitted. Leonard is an Insane
man who was in the asylum here several
years ago and finally released at
the request of his parents. He was
taken to North Carolina and a short
time ago the authorities of the asylum
there refused to admit him, his mental
condition becoming worse. His
application for admission here was refused
011 the ground that his people are
citizens of North Carolina and as a
result the authorities there coolly took
him to Anderson county and left him.
Dr. Babcock and the regents think that
this matter should be settled once for
all. Several years ago this state was
the dumping ground for Insane people
from surrounding states and a law forbidding
the taking of them by the authorities
here was finally passed.
There is a $5 fee for a judge of probate
declaring a person insane and the
relatives of an insane man in another
state often bring them to this state.
They are brought to Columbia and
dumped off at the very door of the hospital
so that it is the hardest matter
in the world to turn them down.
There are seven or eight aliens in the
asylum now, but the law is going to
be strictly enforced hereafter.
? Anderson Dally Mail: There has
been another and probably the final
turn In the case of the city of Anderfon
vs. the Western Union Telegraph
company. The mayor has imposed
a fine of $25 upon the company
for doing business in the city
without a license and the fine has
been paid. It will be remembered that
at the first of the year, when the city
council raised the license fee on telegraph
companies the Western Union
protested and tried to get an injunction
in the United Stales court restraining
the city from imposing such
a license. Judge Brawley, however,
after hearing the case, declined to
grant the injunction and the Western
Union thereupon paid the license,
which amounted to $100, and a penal
\.y vi iui lanuir iu pa.^ iiir uucnoc
within the time prescribed in the ordi- j
nance. By some oversight, however,
the Western Union's officials forgot
about the case that had been brought
in the mayor's court for failure to
procure the license. The mayor called
their attention to it, and out of
courtesy to them offered to hold the
case over until such time as would
suit the attorneys to be present. The
attorneys, after thinking over the
matter, decided that it would be best
to enter a plea of guilty, and this
was done. The mayor imposed a fine
of $25 and this was paid. Thus the
telegraph company has had to pay
into the city treasury the sum of
$145, besides the amount paid out in
lawyers' fees. The amount originally
asked for was only $100.
? Columbia State, of this morning:
The First regiment, after eight days
of military duty at Camp Fuller,
broke camp and returned to their
homes yesterday. Col. Lewis and
most of the officers of his staff and
Maj. Moore and staff with the four
companies of the second battalion
left camp at 2 o'clock on cars for
the city. They were taken to the
special train awaiting them in the
Southern railway yards on West
Gervais street and after loading the
officers' horses and the baggage, the
train pulled out for Yorkville, Cornwell,
Rock Hill and Fort Mill. At
the same time and from the same
place, Maj. Blythe with his staff and
three companies of the first battalion
left for Anderson. Pelzer and Greenville.
Company M of this battalion
returned to its home at Jonesville
on the regular train for Asheville
at noon. Two companies of the
third battalion under Maj. Brock

the Seaboard Air Line for their
homes at Cheraw and Bennettsville
later in the afternoon. Company B.
of this battalion was the first to
leave camp. They took their departure
on a regular train over the
"Three Cs" division of the Southern
and detrained at He ith Springs:
from there they went * conveyance
to their homes at Lib ?.y Hill. The
most important eeremc../ of the entire
encampment was performed at
9.30 o'clock yesterday n orning when
the companies were for ted and one
at a time In the order f rank they
filed up to the tent of Maj. Drew,
the disbursing officer, and received
in cold cash their pay for eight days'
service in the National Guard of
South Oarolinu. The amount of the
entire pay roll of the regiment, including
every officer and man, was
$3,457.34. The total of the fines imposed
by the summary court was
within a few cents of $4, which indicates
a remarkable record of good
behavior. The books of the paymaster
show that the total number
of men present in camp in the First
regiment was 4 87, for the Second
regiment 455 and for the Third 336.
The percentage of the members of
the First who attended the encampment
was also remarkably good. It
will be observed that although they
had only 11 companies instead of 13
the number of men present was
the highest of the three regiments.
The amount disbursed for the subsistence
of the regiment for the
eight days was $686.80 and the expenses
for transportation of men and
horses amounted to, in round numbers,
$1,000.

AN OPEN LETTER
Mr. Practical Farmer,
York County, S. C.
Dear Sir: You will soon be thinking of
your fall plowing and while you are
thinking about It you will of course
want the best Turn Plow obtainable
to turn up the soil. We want to remind
you that York County's best farmers
use and recommend the Oliver
Turn Plow and the Oliver Middle
Busters, because there Is no longer
any doubt In the minds of successful
farmers about the advantages of deep
plowing, and they know by experience
that the Oliver is the best plow in the
world, It goes deeper and its draft is
lighter. We don't ask you to take our
statement on this point. Ask your
neighbor who uses an Oliver.
A gentleman who is a successful
farmer, recently said to us: "One fall
I started to turn a big field with an
Oliver plow, and after the work had
been partly done, something happened
that I had to quit for the time being.
Later on the balance of the field was
plowed up with ordinary plows. The
field was planted in cotton and when
the crop came up anyone could see the
difference in the crop. Where the Oliver
had gotten Its work in the crop
was decidedly the best, and another
thing the grass was not so bad on that
part of the field as it was where It was
'just plowed.' " The Oliver is a little
higher in price than other turn plows,
but they are a great deal better and

is sold under a guarantee against defects
in material or workmanship.
Yours very truly,

Rock Hill Buggies.
CHILLS.
Many families throughout this section
are suffering from chills and fever
and they go on suffering from the
effects of these distressing ills without
knowing that they can be cured?we
say Cured and we mean CURED?we
have several remedies for chills and
fevers and among them are one or
two that are certain. A couple of
weeks ago a locomotive engineer on
the Southern Railway told a gentleman
about having chills and fever?a
heavy chill one day and a high fever
the next. The gentleman said, "I can
get you a remedy that will stop that
with the first dose." "Get It for me
when I come along tomorrow." The
gentleman got and gave It to the engineer.
A week later the gentleman
saw his engineer friend again. "How
about the chills and fever?" "Have
not had any since J ook the first dose
of that medicine." If you have fever
and chills see us for the remedy. We
sell the remedy spoken of above at
$1.40 a bottle, but we have Grove's
Chronic Chill Cure and Grove's Tasteless
Chill Cure?guaranteed?at 50 cts.

Then to the 'phone she's bound
