John Yelding had his head blown off on Tuesday with a shotgun in the hands of Abram Laborde?both color ed. It was an accident. Col. Herbert's bill in the House to 11 provide free scholarships in Clemson College, for poor boys is in the right direction, and we b~pc it wiU ~izz. During the past year Governor Heyward granted only fifteen pardons to persons confined in the peniten tiary. Several of these were granted to people who were very sick. A majority of the qualified voters of York vi lie have asked for an elec tion on the question of removing the dispensary from that town, but they are refused the privilege of clcct'.cn. Jas. T. Harris has leased the White Stone Litbia SpriDgs in Spartanburg county to Hodges & Co., experienced hotel men of St. Louis, Mo., who will keep the resort open the year round. Dr. Charles Foster Smith of the University of Wisconsin will deliver the literary address at the commence ment exercises of Wofford college in, June. He graduated at "Wofford in 1872. ' _ Aaron David is running for mayor of Columbia on the promise that if elected he will "donate the salary of said office to hospitals, orphanages and other charitable institutions." Isn't this in i he nature of a bribe? , i The Anderson Mail says Charleston is so anxious to enforce the dispensary law that she has "seventeen known blind tigers on the petit jury and five admitted violators of the dispensary law on the grand jury." The article we published in the last two issues of The Times and Democrat .on school libraries was I written by Mr. J. Frank Fooshe for | the Columbia State, and should have been credited to that paper. The Spartanburg Journal says "if the democratic machine managers can have their way they will make it pretty hard for the average voter to distinguish between the republican and democratic platforms and candi dates this year."_. District Attorney Jno. G. Capers has taken the side of the negro wo man as against the white man as can didate for postmaster at Beaufort. The woman is a daughter of the no torious Robert Smalls, collector of customs at Beaufort._ Maj. Henry A. Meetze died at his home in Lexington a few days ago aged 84. He was for many years in the state legislature, most of the time as senator, and was a member of the fraud commission that investigated and settled the debt of the State in 1877. _ Gov. Heyward's message to the legislature would occupy about twelve ! columns in The Times and Democrat. Very few people ever read a president's tr governor's message, but if any of our readers want to read this one an ' application to any of our members of the legislature- for a copy will cause j one to be promptly forwarded. In the Charleston city court we j notice that all blind tigers are not: treated alike. Some are tioed S2?, while others are tined $.*H) for selling whiskey unlawfully. We suppose that these socalled tines are based ou the amount of whiskey sold by the parties! paying the fine, and is nothing more , than a city tax for selling whiskey. j "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage j Patch" has just bought a $10,000 resi- i deuce in Louisville. This does not mean that the famous lady who found it impossible to be other than cheerful [ is to change her dwelling place among the raiiroad tracks for one in a fashionable section of Louisville. It ! means that Mrs. Alice Hegau Rice. I who brought "Mrs. Wiggs" before! the public, has invested a portion of) the goodly ?ums she has received in royalties on her books and their i A New Liquor Law. The Hepburn-Pf'lli ver.hlll now pond ing in Congress relative to the liquor trade is of particular interest to South Carolina in the effect its enactmeut would have upon the restrictions of the dispensary law. The measure is designed to remove the liquor trade I from the privileges of the intestate commerce laws and put its control entirely within the power of the indi vidual States. The bill provides that all fermented, distilled or other intoxicating liquors or liquids transported into any Staate or Territory for delivery, or remain ing therein for use, consumption, nah or storage, shall, upon arrival withio the boundaries of such State or Terri tory, before and after delivery, be subject to the operation and effect of the laws enacted in the exercise of the State's police powers to the same extent and in the same manner as though the liquids or liquors had been produced inside the State, and that 5hey shall not be exempt by reason of eing introduced therein in original packages or otherwise. The bill provides, further, that all corporations or persons engaged in in terstate commerce shall, as to any shipment or transportation of fer mented, distilled, or other intoxicati ng liquids or l'quors, be subject to all the laws and police regulations with refcfciiCc to liquor or iu> SQipmCDS or the State in which the place of desti nation is situated, and shall not be exempt by reason of the liquors being introduced in the State in origicai packages or otherwise. It is understood that there will be J an organized campaign by temperance and religious societies throughout :hc country in favor of the bill. Already a number of petitions to Congress in its support have been received. The bill was introduced in the House by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa and in the Senate by Mr. Dolli ver of the same Stale." If lu? bill is passed and stands the test of the courts the importation of liquor into South Carolina in origi nal packages, even for individual use, will be unlawful, as the provisions of the dispensary law of the State will become operative upon the imports immediately upon their crossing the State !i2c, irrespective of the inter state commerce act which now pro tects them from confiscation. uryan's Veto Rights. A Washington dispatch to The New York Herald says of the Democratic outlook as to a Presidential candidate next year: "Mr. Bryan intends to ex ercise the absolute veto power over the nominee party. He feels that he will be able to prevent the election of any candidate whom he does not en dorse. He therefore haty decided to oppose all candidates who represent the element that knifed him at the polls in 18% and 1900. - In this cata gory he includes Judge Parker, Sena tor Gorman, Mr. Cleveland, Mr. Olney and David B. Hill. Hh would proba bly also include Judge Gary of Dela ware." The Charleston Post con strues this to mean that Mr. Bryan wi? uo? approve the nomination of any man who has the slightest chance to win the election, andfsays: "But this right, of veto, whence and how comes Mr. Bryan to possess it?" We are suprised that so well informed pa per as The Post should ask such a question. It is conceded hy his bit terest enemies that Mr. Bryan has the largest following of any one man in the United States, and no ticket! nominated by the Democrats can be 'elected unless it receives his support. I The only exception to this is Cleve land. Should he be nominated, he would split the Republican party in two. have all the boodle of the trusts at his command, and win, because the boodlers, who are holding up the peo ple of the country, would prefer him to Roosevelt. But Cleveland is no Democrat, and his election would be a boodler's victory and not a Demo cratic victory. Mr. Bryan's influence is among real Democrats, and we are glad to believe that there are millions of them in this country. These real Democrats claim the same right to follow their leader, and vote against the nominee if he does not represent their views, as The Post did in the last two presidential campaigns, and they will do it. In doing so they simply follow the example set them by the very men who are now anxious for them to maintain party discipline and vote the straight ticket, provided of course it is composed of men who knifed the .Democratic ticket in 189? and in 1900. Wolneley'h Kotiiuate of Lee. Field Marshal Wolseley of the British army has recently published a very interesting biography, entitled "The Story of a Soldier's Life,'' in which he gives his reminiscences of a half century's service. It is a valuable epitome of the military history of Great Britain during that period in which he bore a conspicuous part, showing the great evolution* which has taken place in the art of war, from the old-fashioned musket and smoothbore cannon to the repeating ritlc and long range artiler,. His sphere of observation embraced the whole field of the British service in India, the Crimean war, in China, Africa and Canada. One of the most interest ing chapters is that in which he details his visit to the United Statesduring the civil war. when he had the opportunity of inspecting both the federal and Confederafp I armies. While in the South he met j Gen. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Many years ago he expressed his esti- i mate of Gen. Lee's capacity as one of the great generals of the world, and the following tribute shows that time has not modified his opinion regard ing him: "He was the ablest general, and to me seemed the grandest man 1 ever conversed with; and yet I have had the privilege of meeting Von Moltke and Prince Bismarck, and at least on one ocasion bad a very long and itiltr?^ely ???:_?-*?-?i.ii.^ omvvr.suioii with the latter. (Jen. Lee was o::c of the few men who ever seriously impressed and awed me with their natural, their inherent greatnes. Forty years have past since we met, yet the majesty of his mi.uly bearing, the gc?:ul, T.lzzin- grace, th: sw::: ness of his smile, and the impressive dignity of his old-fashioned style of address come back to me among the No Need or War. "Nations as well as "ifn know now better tban ever before tbat wars are frightfully costly in precious lives as well as in national resources. The Boer war nearly doubled taxation In England, and it left behind an in crease in the national expense that bids fair to be practically permanent. We have the same experience as the result of the Spanish war. We must for years pay millions more for our Daval establishment than if the war had never occured. These results, a hundred times repeated, carry a les son in teaching moderation of demand and action that has not been lost on kings and presidents and cabinets and congresses. To go to war is to let loose the barbaric instincts. It is to abandon arbitration and compro mise, and even honorable concessions, and set back the growth of the civiliz ing influences. A few more victories like that won against the Boers, and England would be undone. There is no real winner in a long and bloody conflict. Both parties lose. Percep tion of these facts is a matter of more universal knowledge and acceptation among the masses and rulers now tban ever before in the history of the world. For this reason we dissent from Secretary Root's dictum tbat war between the United States and another nation must come some. time. It is not'necessary that it should come at all, and every day of peace should make the. chance of conllict more remote._ Tr'ises i>un't Want Him. A sensation has been created by the selection of St. Louis as the place for holding the next Democratic national convention. It is admitted that the Democratic national committee select ed St. Louis because of the fear on the part of Gorman and Parker that if the convention was heid in Chicago it would be stampeded by Hearst's supporters and that he would be nomi nated on the first ballot. Hearst is strong in Chicago and Illinois and he publi.'-hes the only Democratic paper in tbat city. By political manipula tion to avoid the danger of Hearst's forces and their influences on the con vention, if held in Chicago, Gorman, Parker and John R. McLean hastily combined and turned the convention away from Chicago- and gave it to St. Louis. Newspapers throughout the country declare that Gorman, Parker and McLean have combined against Hearst and the Bryan wing of the party, and determines to capture the party nomination for one of the men mentioned, or for Cleveland. It is, therefore, rapidly coming to the point of Hearst and Bryan friends "against the field." We knew from the begin ning that the trusts would be against the nomination of Hearst. They do not want any man in the presidential chair who is a real Democrat, because they know they would not be able to control him._ The South Has Company. The color line is as much in evi dence in other parts of the country as in tile South, as uaiiy occurrences prove. This section has no monopoly in that respect, and the people of the North and West arc fast coining to a clear and resonable understanding of the Southern position, and are adopt ing it as tneir own. We are indebted to a friend for the following extract from The Newark News, a rapid Re publican paper. The incident oc curred, as will be seen, in Iowa, the strongest Republican State in the Union, with one exception. The article is headed "Negress Won Prize, but ner Color Barred Her From It," and is as follows: "Judges of piano forte music, seated in an adjoining I room in Des Mollies, i., and not per I minted to see the performer, awarded I first prize at the recent State Eistedd fod, held by the Welsh people of Des Moines and neighboring cities, to Marguerite Field. Marguerite was born with a black skin and the wise men of the eisteddfod called a meet ing to discuss the race questiou. It was decided that according the rules of the association the color line must be drawn and that the prize that had been awarded by the judges could not he given to the clored girl."
