fLOUIS APPELT, Editor.I Wednesday, April 11, 1894. t The Dibble Light Dragoons, of 1 Orangeburg, commanded by Captain Hart Moss, at the last inspection turned out 32 men, and when Gov erdor Tillanan called upon this com pany they responded and went to Darlington with 31 men. Captain Moss is a son-in-law of Hon. Samuel Dibble. President Cleveland has vetoed the SBhd bill, and the country must re sin a tagnant condition until fter the next election, when it is hoped the chock now obstructing the masses from obtaining financial ie lief will be removed. Unless there is a'great change in the minds of the people we fear the Democratic party will never again be entrusted with r power. The prohibitionists are now offer ing to pull the political chestnuts -from the fires of the Reform furnaces, but it won't work, don't- cher--z2. Uncle Reform will not allow / silly creatures to burn t ers, k then afterwar ey get them burnt-giver *in a lot of bother heal -riig their sores. If the foolish chil dren will burn their fingers Anti eform'ers must do the nursing. The Hampton Light Dragoons and the Connor Mounted Rifles were very 'much disappointed in not having a place in the picture of the late dis turbance. They had everything in readiness'to go forward 56 strong at a moment's notice, when they received orders that their services would not be needed. We hope nothing will I ever again necessitate the calling out .of troops, but should the necessity -ar-se these companies can be relied upon to do full duty. We see it stated that J. C. Hemp bill, editor of the News and Courier, has become a professional lobbyist at Washington, and while thus' engaged. his position as editorial writer is be ing filled by ex-Governor Daniel H. Chamberlain. The news is not sur prising when it is ~considered how faithfully the News . and Courier worked for the election of Chamber lain in 1876, when the white people of the State rose up and drove Cham berlain with his black borde from power. Chamberlain is now paying - with his individual labor for the ser vices rendered him in the days gone by, and as he hopes to return again. The Pollard-Breckinridge scandal suit is still sending out its mess of lihth, and it is hard to say why the public is to thus be tortured. This is a free country with an unhampered pess, 'tis true, but the law should drwthe line at indecency. We. have Scome to the conclusion that Miss Pollard has made a success. at prov Sing hersElf a brazen hussy to be Sscorned by women, and Congressman Breckinridge has confessed seducing a brother Mason's daughter, for which he should have his tongue torn Sout by the roots and his body cast to Congressman Latimer has intro duced a bill in Congress to refund the fines imposed upon the sheriffs in the railroad cases. The State con tended that the railroads should pay their taxes the same as private citi zens, and when they refused levies were attempted, but the railroads be Sing in the hands of receivers the United States court fined the sherif ~or contempt when they undertook to o execute the tax executions. Since ien the case was heard on its merits and the same court decided the rail raads must pay up. Now that this decision has been made the govern Sment should return to the State the Sfines imposed upon the sheriffs for attempting to carry out the law in trying to collect the taxes in accord ance with the statutory law of the State._____ __ We have reasons to believe that false telegrams were sent the nighti 7Governor Tillman was ordering out' tlie troops. Captain Brailsford and his battallion were in readiness, and so reported to the .Gov~ernor. Instead of receiving orders to xkiarch, Capt. Brailsford received a telegram, pur porting to have been signed by the Governor, saying that his services would not be needed. Governor Tillman could not understand why the companies forming this battallion and commanded by D. W. Brailsford and A. J. Richbourg did not respond tohsorders, but when informed that they were ready and had gone to con s iderable trouble and loss of sleep to 'be ready, he came to the conclusion that somebody had been tampering with- the telegrams passing between e-h Executive and Capt. Bralisford. -The matter will be investigated. Last ws.ek Senator Butler racked *off to Darlington, and as soon as he could find a newspaper reporter gave ?ut for publication a long interview, in which he gives the State's four dol lar inspection day soldiers consider able comfort for not risking their noble and pretty carcasses there, He says that when the trouble arose Tillman should have gone to the scene in person. In this senti ment he is endorsed by Gen. Wade Hampton and Col. A. C. Haskell, but the two latter gentlemen think Till man should have gone from motives of pure hatred against the man. Sen ator Butler not only hates Tillmnan, but he feels that a fine opportunity of getting an opponent out of the way has escaped. No sane man with un sefih motives would for a moment believe that Tillman should haveI gone to the place of the disturbance. The whole interview is nothing more nor less than a political harangue to gain an advantage over a rival, and will be received by the people with ~about as much weight as does the Senator's pretensions at being a Re former. The Senator's conduct in leaving his post of duty to go to Darlington after the trouble was over akes him have the appearance of a] ~buzrd- hunting carrion; hearing' of this battle he leaves his perch and 1 swoops down upon the scene looking for Tillman's political corpse, but he did not find it, nor will he, as Gov. Frown Down Lawlessness. n We hear a great deal being said hese days about a man's house being g is castle, and we admit there is no a >lace more sacred to a man than the az touse in which he dwells. The law of fr he land guarantees to every man's d tome protection, whether that home 0 )e a hut in the wilds of a forest or a w )alace in a crowded city. So strong d s the protection of the law around a -( nan's dwelling that a king dare not d ,nter without the authority of the sl aw.. This is as it should be, but a tc nan to be entitled to the protection h: >f the law must not use his house for P he violation of the laws of the land. sl le should keep that home free from tl :rime and lawlessness. When a man lefies the law he cannot expect to tl nry on that defiance iii his dwelling a 2ouse and then claim the same pro :ection as a.citizen that uses his home k ,or honorable and lawful purposes. P When a man converts his dwelling t( bouse into a place to violate the laws P :f the land he throws to the winds s] ll the sacredness of a home. It is c %gainst the law of South Carolina for persons to engage in the sale of liquor c anless authorized by the law.to do so, i md a engages in teM.1: r or without the authority df whether he does so on the public d ighway, in a store, barn, or dwelling P house he is a violator of the law, and e be should be held responsible for it. I Recently a great deal of excitement h was created in Darlington, and d erious trouble was the result. " The Governor ordered the military e upon the scene to keef the peace, an- (I to prevent lawless persons from in- c terfering with the State's authorized r officers in the discharge of their t duties. Those in Darlington that tI showed a disposition to interfere with c the officers claimed to have no objec- a tion to the searching of public places, c but it is to the searching of private 0 houses they objected. They went so far as to resort to arms if 1 the officers of the State undertook to t search the houses of private citizens. t This is all wrong, and some day those I C very citizens will regret having taken 1 such a step. t Whenever citizens are allowed to i select what laws they will obey and e disobey, the law should go at them r with all its strength and force them into submission. We think a great deal of the trouble in enforcing the dispensary law can be avoided if dif ferent means are used. Let the State constables ferret out the places where illicit whiskey selling is going on, procure warrants and place them into the hands of the county sheriffs. If the place to be searched is a private house, the sheriff with his deputies can go there, make the nec essary search, and if contraband liquors are found they will be seized. By this plan the officers making the searches and executing the law are known to the people, and the ofen siveness of a stranger searching the premises is done away with. We have, ever since the passage of the dispensary law, regarded the present plan of enforcing the law a great mis take, and the more we see its opera tion the more convinced are we that some less offensive plan should be adopted. No law that can be en acted by the legislature that affects .th~a eedrste hquor element wildo everything in their power to: prevent the successful execution of any law, that restricts their businese. There is only one way to enforce the law and that is to get the gosod citi sens of a community to discounte nance the violations of the law; and this can be accomplished much easier and more effectually by entrusting I the law's execution .to the peoples' chosen officers. If a search warrant is placed into the hands of a sheriff to search a private dwelling, and a few men undertake to place obstacles in his *ay he will call upon his fellow citizens to assist him, and in ninety-. nine cases out of a hundred they will do it; but when a stranger is entrust ed with the execution of the law it has the effect of irritating even good citizens and instead of lending assist ance they will have nothing to do with it. The law should and must be respected, but in order for the law to have that respect, it must be oper- I ated in a manner not calculated to give offense to law-abiding citizens. A man should not have the sympathy of a community that defies the law even behind the gates of his castle, and that sympathy is'not always ac corded. The government enters a I palace in search of stolen -goods, and the community upholds the officers. When a private house is suspected of being used for the purpose of secret ing crinminals, it is- invaded and searched. Counterfeiters usually carry on their unlawful operations in a private house to throw off suspicion but the law invades it and the comn-t munity approves. Why ? Because that sacredness that surrounds a pri vate house is abused and the engaging parties place themselves beyond the right of claiming protection; for to 1 protect them would be giving them aid in carrying on their nefarious purposes.. Just so is it with the ille- . gal sale of liquors. No man can have a sacred castle where not even a king can enter, if he abuses the rights and privileges the law guarantees to him. The dispensary system is fastt proving itself to be the best liquor regulation ever before had in this country, and when its rough edgesa are taken from it by legislative enact ment it will prove to be one of the greatest reform laws ever placed on I the Statute books. There are a num ber of States now watching its oper ation, and if it proves;a success its this C State before two years roll around e other States will adopt the law. It e is the duty of every good to -uphold the law, and when the Legislature 3 meets go to them and ask for such repeals or amendments as will make I the law stronger and more effectual. I Above all things do not trample, under foot the laws of the land. The South Carolina railroad is to t r be sold at public outcry to-morrow. 9 Lack of time prevents us from at- t: ending thesale to bid on this prop- E rty. Governor Tillman is receiving let etters from all over the country ~raising him for his determined effort o enforce the law. The letters of ~raise all coming from all classes, re- AI ~ardless of profession, and some of he strongest are from ministers ofn he gospel. e Misqueted, Hence Our Correction. In our last issue we attempted to ve our conclusion of the deplorable, fair which took place in Darlington, id in doing so we made a clipping om the correspondence in the Sun Ly News of the 1st inst. By an' rersight two very important words. ere left out, and the error was not scov6red in time to correct. The ntence we refer to reads, "Great in gnation is expressed that Sumter iould have slumped and gone over > the Governor;" when it should ive read, "Great indignation is ex ressed that Sumter should have umped its compact and gone over to ie Governor." According to the correspondent iere seems to have be a compact, ad that Sumter failed to carry it out. ; would, indeed, be of interest to now exactly the rature of the com ct. Could it have been a compact > throw the State in confusion for a litical purpose? A compact was umped, and those slumping the >mpact went over to the Governor. he casual reader would have con .ded, the unfortunate affair in Dar ngton was spontaneous, and not the sult *of deliberation, but if there -t-coipact which was slumped a ifferent condition than what the eople at first supposed must have isted. It was a notorious fact that arlington made boasts of paying no eed to the dispensary law, and for ays previous to the difficulty threats rere made against the attempt at Recuting the law. The burning uestion, therefore, is, was there a omact between certain citizens to ?sist the execution of the law? Did 2ose agreeing to the compact promise > take uu arms against their fellow itizens? The more we think of this ffair the more convinced do we be ome that the correspondent had rounds for saying that a compact ad been slumped. Last week, when 2 Columbia a gentleman told, us bat a prominent gentleman from his Dwn told him, that the Wednesday efore -the difficulty two hundred uns had been shipped from Charles on to Darlington. If this statement correct there was a compact, and very preparation was made for car ying it out. Take the circumstantial vidence and it points to anything ut a spontaneous outbreak. The onstables were sent to Darlington to uforc a statutory law, and while hus engaged a crowd of excited and .rmed men were following them round; all kinds of rumors calculated o stir up a conflict was set in motion, ut the constables went on with their rork until thev fitiished and were. bout to depart. ' At the depot a dif culty between two individuals oc rred, and because one of. the con tables interfered when a negro ttempted to take sides in the diffi ulty, a crowd was immediately -aised. For what? . There is noth ng going to show that the constable is-ed any violence, and there is noth ng going to show that the constable Irew a weapon until the crowd ame. The evidence, how ver, does show that at the call of one f the young men engaged in the dif iculty an excited and maddened :rowd, armed to the teeth, rushed ipon the scene. Now we do not ras tormed, this dlepot difficulty was t all thought of, but if a compact as formed, it was that if a difficulty as started, it was to be continued ith the aid of those agreeing to the :ompact. It was well known that the military >rganizations were principallj in the owns and in'the hands of men op osed to the State administration, nd from the manner in which they eted it gives color to the belief that hose making the compact had se retly arranged beforehand should tn outbreak occur the first hing was to chock the wheels of mnil tary interference, because the people mew that Governor Tillman was a nan of iron nerve and was certain to :all upon the military as soon as he liscovered the civil authorities pow ress- to act. The time came wvhen he difficulty started, the civil author ties became powverless, and the Gov rnor called upon the military. The eople know the result. If there was 0 understanding then it was wonder 'ul that the same influences and argu nents to stop the military should iave existed all over the -Slate at Imost the same hour. Was there any politics in this de >lorable affair? Another correspond mt to the News and Courier said: 'Resistance from one end of the tate to the other means the knell of 'illmanism," and again, "If South arolinians can further supinely al ow this state of things to continue, en in our craven-hearted cowardice vould we deserve forever to wear hat brand of infamy and degradation :nown as Tillmanism." Again the ame correspondent said: "Darling on is willing to continue as she has egun. Will others follow?" We nake these quotations from the cor 'espondence, and ask our readers if hey ha-ve any meaning, or was there cmpact ? Gen. R. N. Richbourg, who had ommand of the military forces dur ng the recent insurrection,- deserves he highest commendation for his oldierly conduct. Gen. Richbourg, hen called upon the State's chief xecutive, did not stop to consider he political differences existing be ween them, because he knew the lace to discuss political differences as at the ballot box. He is a sol ler, and obedience is the first duty f a soldier. He, therefore, upon re eiving his orders wvent to work to xecute them. Gen. Richbourg's val able services will never be forgotten y the citizens of this State, and the Lay is not far distant when the peo le of this State will show their ap 'reciation in a practical way. mE cr Onto, CIT oF TOLEDO, I LreCAs Cormr. -s.

One Animal Faselnated by the Linked Sweetness of an Accrdion. One casually acquainted with Peter Ohlhous, the tall, muscular and fiercely mustached deputy sheriff, would never suspect him of harbor ing sentimentality or any tendency to ponder over the problems of nat ural history. Neither would we en tert; in the suspicions were it not for the fact that information filed at our office shows that Pete is a stubborn fisherman, and we know from evi dence in other cases that a man who will sit on a rock for hours without getting, a bite sometimes has both scholarly requirements and kindly feelings for the gifts of nature-the pure air, the trees and shrubbery, the birds, the turtles, the water and the fish. But we will let Pete tell the rest of the story himself. "When I lived on the farm below Wilmington," said Peter, "-like most of these old fash ioned Dutchmen I had an accordion and could play it alittle. One evening while sitting on the steps playing for mother I noticed a large toad come hopping along the path from the gar -den that seemed to be interested in the music. He would sit there as long as I would play, and finally be came so interested and well acquaint ed he would come up every evening and sit on my foot. To prove that he really did like the music or was fond of me-I don't know which-I would sometimes walk around the yard playing the accordion, and he would come hopping along, follow ing me like a little puppy. "I found that he had a bed in the strawberry patch, and that he re turned to the nest and staid there during the day. In the fall mother suggested it would be a rather cold place for the toad in the strawberry patch during the winter and pro posed that I put him in the cellar. Partly to please her I did so, making a nest under a plank that I thought would suit the little fellow. Sure enough, he was well pleased. Moth er fed him along in the fall with our sour milk and other scraps, but as cold weather set in he refused to eat. However, during the first warm days of spring he came out as lively as ever, and again took up his old home in the strawberry bed. "That toad lived with us eight years, summering in the strawberry patch and wintering in the cellir. How much longerhe would havelived I do not know had he not been acci dentally killed. "The neighbors' dogs got 'to fight ing one day in the garden and were creating considerable disturbance. I hurried out to save the toad, but it was too late. They either fell upon him or frightened him to death, for he was stone dead when I got there." Joliet News. An Almost Invisible Hole. John Wennstrom, an ingenious German, has invented and patenteA a machine which at first thought one is apt to think would be as useless as the fifth wheel on a wagon. It is a hole boring contrivance and may be driven either by foot, hand or steam power. The holes drilled by this dainty instrument are but one one - ae te salest tihat man9 yet been able to pierce. The ma chine has a capacity of 22,000 revolu tions per minute and is intended solely for drilling holes through dia monds, sapphir-es, ru'bies and other precious stones.-St. Louis Republic. Conlecting Electricity From the Air-. An apparatus for collecting elec tricity from the air is described by a French journal as a revolving wheel, having eight spokes, but no rim. tach spoke is a cozitductor, insulated frozn the hub and having a metallic cross arm at its farther end. Two brushes are arranged near the hub, one above and one below the centter. These brushes are always in contact with tIye spokes, pointing vertically upward anvertcally downward, respective ly, during the revolution, and there fore lead off from them the electric charges collected from the atmos phere at the top and at the bottom of the wheel.
