TEEMAI~INGTIMES9 LOUIS APPELT, Editor. We4nesday, August 1, 1S94. Ellerbe's chances for Governor are growing beautifully less, while Tin dal is gaining ground every day. We cannot understand why it is 'that the Columbia Register was the first to advocate the Colleton plan, and now on the eve of putting the plan into execution it cries out against it. There is considerable difference of opinion on the question of whether the Governor made a mistake in re opening the dispensaries. Neverthe less the action of the Governor will be sustained by the people. Let every club in the county send to the County Convention a red hot set of delegates who will send men to Columbia to vote for James E. Tin dal first, last and all the time. By sending such men Tindal will be Gov ernor in spite of the blowings of El lerbe and Evans. Reformers I It is important for every one of you to attend your club meeting Saturday, August 11th, and vote for your choice for Governor and the delegates to the County Reform Convention. If you find a Reformer that don't read the papers tell him about the meeting and show him the impoitance of his presence. We cannot understand why it is, that the friends of Ellerbe want the Reform Committee to rescind its call for the August Convention when Mr. Ellerbe told a gentleman in Manning that if the call was rescinded it meant the nomination of Evans. Is Ellerbe's fight all a blind to elect Evans or was Ellerbe talking through his hat when in Manning. T. L. Gantt, editor of the Pied mont Headlight, was expelled from the Alliance last week by the State Alliance -for making damaging charges against D'Arcy P. Duncan, manager of the State Exchange, and then refusing to substantiate his charges when called upon to do so by a committee appointed to inves tigate the matter. This is the time that the people ought to wake up from their lethargy and look after their pelitical interests. Every day brings forth more and e signs of treachery in the Re form ranks. The greed of office is above principle and everything else with some men, and if the people do not bestir themselves they will find themselves back to where they were before 1890. We need good safe men in the Legislature, and every candidate for that honor should be questioned so the people may know what they advocate and where they stand. Has Ellerbe become a convert to the whiskey advocates, that makes him fight the Governor's order to ove up the dispensaries? The bar rooms throughout tle~ State are open Sand in fullblast with'fout paying a nickle a the townso tfo the State. Is El lerbe in falof a continuation of auch a tof'affairs? If the Re fo nvention is not held, Ellerbe have the whiskey element to help him get votes in the primary, and they ought to. Isbhe not trying to h~t the whiskey men continue their business without license ? Ellerbe is' quite a hero with the opposition on account of the way he is fighting Governor Tillman. Who is the Columbia Register sup porting for the United States Senate, STillman, Butler, or the man that can bring about a dead-lock? Has the I .Columbia Begister now the same editor it had last April? if so, what has caused its sudden change on the mode of getting candidates from the Reform faction? What is the mean- I ing of Ellerbe and the Register at .9tacking Tillman at the same time and 'so near the end of the canvass? If <-ither the Register or Ellerbe are op poed toTillman why did they not 2come out in the beginning of the > ight,/and not wait until the oppor Stunity is at hand to throw confusion Kin the Reform ranks?t The Reformers throughout the State should lay aside personal pref erences and go to work harmonizingt the differences now existing in our< ranks. This can easily be done by ~ placing the standard of the Reform Movement into the hands of one who has always been identified with that a branch of the Movement which had 1 the education and relief of the peoplei for its object. We are satisfl.ed that ~ all of the candidates have worked earnestly for the cause, b4 some of8a them have undertaken in this cam- 3 paign to place their individuality i above everything else, and in doing so they have brought about dissen- r sins which the opposition are gloat- t ing over. This state of affairs must I cease or the Reform Movement will be injured. Until recently the oppo- f sition were hesitating about taking o any part in the coming struggle, but a the wrangling now going on in our I ranks has given them encouragement a and they are organizing everywhere. t Itis our honest belief they will have D a fnll ticket in the field before many ized that in a few hours every one of them will be in possession of who to b vote for. The fact of their not mak-~ S -ing any outward demonstrations e should not be taken as a sign of their a: not going to make a fight; we be lieve they will fight, and that a still hunt game is their tactics. Clarendon offers to the people of tli State a man that if elected Gov ernor will reconcile all our differences 3 and make the Reform Movement D what the -people intended it should b1 be. Let every Reform voter when he et getohis club meeting on August 11th stop and consider who is best in qualified to promote the interests of ax the people, and we are satisfied they ~ wil cast their vote for James E. Tin- 2' Dr. Sampson Pope will not submit 2is claims to the Reform Convention md will run right on in the general primary. That is all right, and if he loes not succeed in the general pri nary there is no statutory law pre renting the Doctor from running in he general election. Gen. R. N. Richbourg is a good man and makes a fine military officer, but when he says his name was used on the Haskell ticket without his con sent the people do not take much stock in the excuse. There is one thing certain, Richbourg never for bid his name from being used on that ticket. Reasons for Opening Dispensary. On being questioned by a newspaper re porter as to his reasons for re-opening the dispensary, Gov. Tillman replied that he had already given his reasons in an article written for the North American Review and published in the July issue of that journal. The governor further said that he now reit erates every word of said article as apply ing with increased force to his present ac tion. We can give only a portion of said article in this issue, but will publish it in full next week. This is what the governor says: "The experiment of legislation for the control of the liquor traffic which has been made in South Carolina, during the year beginning July, 1893, has excited wide 'pread interest. In previous articles in the Review I have given my opinion as to he merits of the dispensary system, to gether with such facts as were then obtain able, tending to show the superiority of the dispensary over the lifensed saloon, from a temperance standpoint. Everything prom ised a speedy and almost total suppression of the illegal traffic in liquor, when, on April 19 last, the supreme court by a vote of two to one declared the dispensary law unconstitutional." It would be difficult to describe the sur prise and disgust manifested by a large ma jority of our people when this intelligence reached them. The constitutionality of the law had been sustained by the United State circuit judge; seved out of eight of the State circuit judges had sustained the law, the Liquor Dealers' association of Charles ton had employed the best legal talent in the State, and had received it as the opin ion of the attorneys that the law was im pregnable and could not be attacked on its constitutionality. Tha supreme court it self, in a previous case arising under it, in May, 1893, unanimously declared: "The only question really involved here is whether said act violates the constitution in forbidding the granting- of licenses to re tail spirituous liquors beyond the 30th day of June, 1893, an% to that question we have confined our attention and have reached the conclusion that the said act, being in effect an act to regulate the sale of liquors to do which is universally recognized-it is quite clear that there is nothing unconsti tutional in forbidding the granting of li denses to sell liquor except in the manner prescribed by the act." To aggravate the situation the division between the judges was along political lines, the dissenting judge who upheld the con stitutionality of the law, being a Reformer, or "Tillmanite," while the controlling judges are "Antis," and belonging to the old regime. The friends of the law natur ally denounced the decision as a political and partisan one, and the change of base by the judges from the position held in the previous May, in the Chester case, already cited together with the forced and inconse quental arguments adduced to sustain it, lend color to the charge. For far-fetched, unnatural, and strained construction and illogical deductions, this decision will stand as a monument to show how far judges will go when prejudices or feelings are allowed to influence their minds. Goodwin says of Lord Coke that "where precedent failed, he had recourse to the invention of a principle to justify him in deciding as ho pleased." Our court has gone further than this. It has "invent ed" new principles and overturned the best established old ones to find excuse for this decision. It out-herods Herod and out entes Coke; and so muddy was the decision that no two lawyers in the State could agree as to what was the status of the liquor traffic under it. The only thing made ilear was that the court declared the dis pensary law to be unconstitutional. Let it be understood that the act upon which they were passing wasthe first dis pensary law, approved December 24, 1892, After considering the law in all its bearings md having had experience of its benefits or six months, the general assembly had itrengthened it, clarified it, and improved t in December last. As every question of onstitutionality had been presented to the ourt in May, 1893, two months before the aw was to go into effect, if the court had iny doubt as to its constitutionality it was :learly its duty to stop the State from comn nitting the wrong of "driving its citizens unt of business" and of "monopolizing" the iquor traffic for itself. But the judges ould not then see as clearly as they did a 'ear later, when they asserted that "the lispensary law conflicts with the following ections ot' our State constitution" : "Article I, Section 1: 'All men are born ree and equal-endowed by their Creator 'ith certamn inalienable rights, among rhich are the rights of enjoying and de ending their lives and liberties, of acquir ng, possessing and protecting property, ad seeking and obtaining their safety and appiness.' "Section 14 of the same article: 'No per on shall be despoiled or dispossessed of as property, immunities, or privileges, or Leprived of his life, liberty, or estate, but y the judgment of his peers or the law of he land.'" In order to present the arguments which shall advance to show the constitutionality .f the law, I must briefly give the grounds pon which the court overthew it. Quoting be above paragraphs from the State consti cition, they next declare the law to be in onfliet also with the following from the 2th section of Article I: "No person shall e prevented from holding, acquiring and ransmitting property." After expitiating n the inalienable right of personal liberty nd private property, the court quotes with nction the following from Mr. Justice tradley (First Abbott's U. S. Reports 388): "There is no more sacred right of citizen hip than the right to pursue unmolested a twful employment in a lawiul manner. It nothing more nor less than the sacred scred right of labor." The idea c " speaking of the liquor traffie s an inalienable right of "personal liberty nd private property," or describing a bar :eeper standing behind his counter and ishing out poison as one of those possess :rg the "sacred right of labor !" To bolster ue claim that the liquor business is legiti iate, the court then cites the decision of :ae United States supreme court, Leisy vs. [ardin (133 U3. S., page 100.) This is the slebrated "original package" ease from wa. The court ignores altogether the Lct that congress by the Wilson act has rerriden the supreme court in that case ad has expressly placed whiskey under me absolute and direct control of the State ~gislatures, possessing none of the rights ~taching to any of the ordinary articles of merchandise under the inter-State comn Lerce law. -Laurensville Herald.

"Yes, sir." "Will you obey the order?" "Most undoubtedly." "Do you apprehend any trouble re sulting from the re-opening at this time?" "None in the world. Why should there be trouble?" "Well, some prominent Reformers think it unwise." "Yes, I see that Ellerbe, Samps Pope and the Register lament it. It is easy to read these fellows, who are sinking putticians snatching at floating straws. Who is to make trouble? Surely not the few liquor dealers left in the State. They will not attempt to defy a law that has the enthusiastic endorse ment of four-fifths of the people of the State. Before the present gubernatorial canvass they contend ed that the people did not want the law; that this law had never been submitted to the people. The latter was true, and gave them slight ground for argument. The dispen sary law was a compromise between the house and the senate. The house had passed an iron-clad prohibition law which failed to pass the senate, and then this compromise law was agreed upon. Gov. Tillman has pre sented thequestion fairly and square-. ly to every audience he has had dur ing the present canvass throughout the State, and the law has received the most enthusiastic and overwhelm ing endorsement of the people. No, there will be no trouble from the bet ter class of liquor dealers, but there is a large criminal class engased in running drinking and gambling dens that will always give more or less trouble. Such fellows as Chicco have always evaded and defied lawa passed to regulate the sale of liquor, and have given city authorities unbound ed trouble. Such people will have to be dealt with a little harshly. These blind tiger proprietors will not have the support and backing they got from the Antis before the Darlington riot. That affair has taught our people that they cannot afford to affiliate with this class who will bring them into collision with the law and then like the sneaks they are will leave tt mm -to bear the brunt. In Darlington who were they who lost their lives in the encounter with the constables? Were they the whiskey scamps who had caused the row? No, they were not there, buit good citi zens who for political reasons had aided, comforted and abetted them were killed. Another case of dog Tray in bad company. No, my friend, there will be no trouble ex cept such as I have stated will always exist- There are violators of every law, and there will be violators of the dispensary law." "Will the priee of liquors be re duced?" "I have received no instructions to that effect. In one of his speeches John Evans said there would be a reduction after awhile. I don't know where he got his information ; but I think, too, the price will be re duced some, as there is a popular de mand for it." "How much stock have you on hand at present?" "About $900 worth at cost prices." "So you anticipate no trouble, whatever?" "None! None in the world; there is no excuse for it, there is no reason for it." "How about the unconstitutionality of the law?" "The law of 1893 remains intact; it has never been considered by the courts. The law of 1892 was pro nounced unconstitutional by a fac tional majority of the court. The law of 1893 remains to be tested, and until passed upon by the courts is a law of the State, of full force and virtue. It was to prevent this law from being passed upon by a preju diced court that Governor Tillman suspended for a time the business operated under its provisions. The liquor men should feel grateful for this suspension that has given them three months of free liquor, from which they have profited by flooding the State with an ocean of the vilest stuff, that they have sold at highest prices."

This publication treats the fol lowing subjects: Cowpea, alfafa, red clover, crimson clover, Japan clover and lupines. It treats fully on green manuring; how plants get nitrogen from the air; the com position of green leguminous plants; the effect of green manuring on different soils, and the value of the above plants for feed ing. This publication will be found valuable and interesting to those who practice gen eral agriculture, and I have taken the priv ilege to furnish the Experiment department at Washington with the names of some of my fellow countrymen, whom I thought would appreciate and practice some of the advice given in this bulletin. Those farmers who desire to see a copy of this publication may obtain one by ad dressing Prof. E. W. Allen, Experiment de partment, Washington, D. C., requesting a copy of bulletin No. 16 on Plants."

The writer is not leagued with any corporations or faction making it obligatory to "boom up" any particular official aspirant, regardless ot the mental qualifications requisite for an office. My investment in political stock in the campaign will be entirely limited, in other words, I don't propose to dabble but little in the turbid waters of the political pool. I claim I am a citizen of the State in vested with the inalienable right of suffrage and feeling an interest in her welfare, I cannot well desist from divulging my pre dilection as to what I conceive, to be the best policy for the government. Recog nizing the lamentable factional strife that has been, and is raging so furiously in the Democratic body-politic, widening the breach of its ranks, rendering its reigning supremacy in an untenable or precarious condition, I am persuaded, some method, ere long, has to be instituted to induce a reconciliation of unity and love of political brotherhood. 'le salvation of the party inevitably is hinged npou such a desirable consummation. The intense bitter political feeling that is prevailing is producing an estrangement in social and religious circles. Antagonism is usurping brothedly love and a state of anareby apparently approaching. Figuratively speaking the political sky portends a revolution is brewing. How monientous then it is to be scrupulously cautious in se-eting men to assume the reins of the State administration. Consist ent with the above sentiment, I am inclined to voice my choice of the State canvassers who I believe would be most suitable to pilot the ship of State. With due deference to the eligibility to all aspirants contend ing for the goyernorship .of the State, I am. partial to the belief no one of the number would occupy the gubernatorial chair with more culture and executive ability than the Hon. J. E. Tindal. From the incipiency of the Reform Movement at the memorable State convention in 188 I obtained an in sight of his intellectual wealth of wisdom, in his just ruling and admonition given to that august body of yeomanry. Hispoliticad creed and unimpeachable record as a State officer fully convince me that no better ma terial could be selected from the Reform party to serve as governor oi the Palmetto State for the next biennial period than the aforesaid Hon. J. E. Tindal. He is a ripe scholar noted for eminent piety and un swerving fidelity, devoid of precipitate rashness. He is a Reformer imbued wvith' a degree of conservatism that is not at aif objectionable. His principles are in sym pathy with the demands of the Alliance order. I feel assured his administration as the chief magistrate would have a tendency to bring about an era of reconciliation in the Democratic party, a disideratum nch needed to reinstate a brotherly feeling. H~e would be the "right man in the right place." .Hurrah ! for J. E. Tindal, a safe main to put at the helm of the State. O .H STATE OF OHiio, CrTY OF TOLEDO, Lucas CovN'r. Frank J.

Iillman that no farmer could be found to nake the race for governer, and the gov ~rnor (doubtless falling into the humor of{ he comptroller's hypocritical little scheme) aid: "WVhy don't you run?" Of course ip that moment nothing was further from ~he thoughts of Mr. Ellerbe than being a andidate for governor. But to be asked by the king maker, "Why don't you?" that settled it. A hint was as good as a ommand. lHe was in the race and great Ben himself had brought him out. But the overnor says "no" to tliis soft impeach ent.
