THE MANNING TIMESD LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, February 13, 1895. Governor Evans is to be married so report says on the 28th inst. Harrah for him and we hope, if be has troubles at all, that they will be little ones. The long lost steamship La Gas cogne which sailed from Havre on the 26th of last January and was thought to be lost, from the fact that she was eight days over-due, arrived safely in New York last Monday night. She had encountered several terrific gales and passed through a most severe ordeal but come out with damage to her machinery only. if the people follow the advice of Senator-elect B. R. Tiliman the con stitutional convention will not be troubled !with scheming politicians, but that body will be made up of men who have the welfare of the country at heart and will give us a constitution that our children will not blush to read and study. Till man was the first to say "let the con vention be made up of the best men regardless of factional affiliations." Those were patriotic words and if people heed them all will be well. It is amusing to see what a change has come over some of the news papers throughout the State, with regard to the administration of Gov ernor Evans. Some that prided themselves on saying mean and con temptiblie things about him before he was inaugerated, are now running over each other to get a chance to complirrent him. There still remains a few that are critizing him upon the principle of the fellow that said the horse was twenty hands high, and be cause he said it, "he'd be goll-darned if he would not stick to it." Just so with sorme of the newspapers, they said Evans was a bad man, and hav ing said so, it matters not how good, or how able his~administration is, he is bad anyhow. The correspondent in the Sumter Herald who signs himself Reformer is r ot very consistent. He takes the liberty to use our name in one of his articles and when over our own signatare, we ask that he come out of his hidipg place tftt we may know the color of his hide; Le intizrates that we are not big enough for him and a sight of us may nauseate him. Now, we have no idea who "Reform er" is, but we are willing to take chances and wager that he voted for Haskell in 1890; that he did not go to the polls in 1892 to vote for Moise in the general election, and that hie voted for Pope and for T. B. Johnson in 1894. If our measurement of "Reformer" is correct no wonder at the tender stomach he carries about with him. We did our best to pull him out of his hiding place, but since learning of his inclination to become nause ated at the least provocation we con grratulate ourselves on our most for tunate escape. For who knows that instead of a wolf, we might have come in contact with a buzzard. Ever since the last election we have been working with all of our mnight to bring the white people of this State together and looking for ward to such a happy State of affairs, we regard the neccessity of making the coming constitutional convention a non-factional body. We desire to see men sent to that convention who will rise above petty factional quar rels and go to work for the best in terests of the whole people. Because we hold such views there are a few who have taken up the idea that we want to look backwards to find a place to straddle, but such is not the case, it is our honest opinion that unless factional feeling is laid aside in the making up of the constitutional convention trouble is ahead of us and we will only discover it when too late to seek a remedy. There are men in the Reform ranks that profit by a continuance of of strife. They do not want peace because when peace reigns their trade in stock is gone and they will be left high and dry on the rocks of despair. This is the class of men we have been warniug the people against, and it is this class who are anxious to control the constitutional 1 convention. The Piedmont Head- 1 light which is looked upon as the mouth piece of Senator Irby, was bitter in its opposition to the con vention before the election, and now it is foremost in in its oppouition to anything that tends to making the convention a non-factional body. It doe's not want peace, and if its ut terances have any influence, it pro poses to keep the people in a con stant state of turmoil and strife. C Here are two paragraphs which we clipped from one of its recent edi- i torials and we ask in the name of i common sense will the Reformers swallow such clap-trap? and do they C not see the dangerous leadership of such men. --This is no time to talk about peace and unity. We begged for those concessions 1: bafore the last election, but when we found the minority faction and the negroes ~ voting as a unit for the same candidates, t we knew such pieas were a hullucination t and a snare, and that our Reformers must clinch their power through a Constitutional a convention before there will ever be any harmony among the factions in our State. "The Headlights advice to our farmers is to keep away from that meeting. To give I yuruport to those thirteen singers will. situply be to furnish a stick to break your own had with. Let the Antis put out a thei:- candidates, and the Reformers will "' put out their candidates; anct then we will have no fear for the cause of the people." r~ - Editor G.antt fought the calling of tJ the constitutional convention al though it was one of the main prom- b ises made in the platform of the Re form movement, a:2d now that the ti Refcorm movement has succeeded in haviug the convention called, he with b one leap turns a somersault and is a now trying to ruu the whole busi-d g ss in the interest of those who wantd to control the convention for their own selfish purposes. The Times has worked hard for the Reform movement and it pro poses to continue the work, but it will not be led off by false gods nor will it follow the lead of men who, if they cannot rule will ruin. We want to see the white people of this State working together for a common cause, and it doe's not take a Solo mon to see if something is not done to harmonize things in South Caro lina, disaster and ruin awaits our political, social, and business in terests. The Democratic Executive Committee has ordered a primary for the election of delegates to the con vention. Let us send our best ma terial without regard to factional differences. Let us find men who will go to the convention to work for the improvement of our free schools and for the maintainance of white man's supremacy. By all means let us steer clear of men who want to go to the convention because they have an ax to grind. We would rather see our county entirely without rep presentation in the convention if we cannot find men who will go there to work for the best interests of the people. Let those who aspire for the honor of being delegates come out in the newspapers and tell the people what they propose to do, so that they can ote with their eyes open. A Talk With Dspenser Eryin. Say, look here! what's the trouble with the dispensary? "Nothing, all's serene." Have you read the Governor's re marks concerning dispensers, their shortages, bad book-keeping, &c.? "Yes, I read his remarks as pub lished in the Register, and am much surprised. I can only speak for myself, and will say, positively, that they do not apply to me. I stand ready to day, as I have stood ready at any moment, night or day, since I have been dispenser at Manning. to turn over to State, town, and county, ev ery dollar of money due, and to ac count for every package that should be in stock. However, the Governor realized that his remarks in this con nection were rather broad and sweeping, and he has since qualified them." In your opinion, have dispensers much opportunity to commit fraud or embezzlement of funds? "Precious little at best, and none at all where dispensers give good bonds and county boa ds do their duty. Our county 'hoard, as now constituted is composed of F. C. Thomas, W. E. Jenkinson, and C. R. Felder. Mr. J. C. Johnson, a former member of the board, is now a resi dent of Beaufort county. The new law makes the county supervisor ex officio a member of the bo- rd, and this accounts for Mr. Felder's pres ence on it. This is a good boa-d; they are men who don't use entoxi eants in any shape; are conscien tious in their support of the law and are anxious that as much good ae is possible shall result from its enforce ment but are not so hide-bound as to think that a strict conformance of the provisions will moralize the State at once, but that its good ffects and results will be gradual, onstant, and progressive. My busi ess relations with the board so far have been pleasant and agreeable. They look sharply after the business and show a disposition to hold me down squarely to the provisions of the law. I am glad of this, otherwise the continual pressure might induce a laxity on my part. So far I have not exceeded my powers, nor been ax in my duties, and consequently there has been no friction between the dispenser and county board." How often do you report? "We make a monthly report and a uarterly report." How do you manage about taking stock ? "A member of the board is always resent, in faet takes stock himself and examines the books." Does the amount in stock always ally exactly with your books ? "No, there is more or less shortage, which occurs in various ways; some imes during a press of business ai ackage is sold that we fail to get on< he application, and whilst we get1 he money for it, yet, it will not ap ear on the book; then in checking off the various sizes and denouaina ions of packages from the applica ion book to the day book now and gain a package will be lost sight of, nd thus in the course of three months uring the rush in the Christmas eason, the number of packages sold 1 nd failing to appear on the books ill amount to considerable; in some 1 nstances with me to as much as ixty odd dollars. But then we must] ave the money for them, and when ( tok is taken a bill of the shortage s also made and charged in the col-i mn of sales, and so appear in the ext month's report." Is the method of book-keeping ~omplicated ? "Well, no, not with me; I have my wn method, which is simple. Lut it is incessant and very edious. In addition to the monthly eport we make a weekly report of C iales for the week; this with a check a : cover the State's part of sales is d ailed every Monday morning to the a tate commissioner. These several sports are exceedingly troublesome." I see by-our last report that your aes during the last quarter amount > nearly six thousand dollars, I ink ? "Yes, quite a considerable ' mount, but you remember, that 6 is is the only dispensary in the l >unty." t I suppose you see much of human p ~ature here ? tl "Wll I should say so !" 1 Have you ever had trouble with bstreperous characters ? 1 "No, never. I endeavor to treat all' -r rith due courtesy and consideration, hite and black alhke, and in conse uence I have received polite consid ation in return. All who visit the b spensary join in testifying that it a one of the quietest business places h the town."a Are you allowed a permanent i lerk? i "No, after March 1st I will be with- G t help until business necessitates ha in the fall." What class ofpeople buy the most uor ? Those who don't buy are in a wo- al . minority. All classes of people i y liquor, more or less; but I think E; ie negroes buy more than the bites, and strange to say, they are se 11, without exception, strong advo tes of the dispensary." If you don't object I will publish fa our remarks. r "Do so; every citizen and taxpayer M interested in this institution, and ould be well informed as to its e rking."w So you think the Governor waso ~ther sweeping in his comments on M e dispensers.' "Entirely so." th ave you discontinued buying di ttles? cli Yes, I received orders to discon nue until further notice." Were manty bottles brought back - patrons ? of Yes, considerable; I paid out of out one hundred and seventy-five da )llars in six months for them. They e ...memchtou.i bu+ I think lai they should be bought, otherwise tl-e country will be filled with use less utensls, and then it keeps that much money at home. If I paid out in six months $175, why other dis pensers paid out as much, or more, and the aggregate will amount to say ten thousand dollars per annum. Now, by buying the bottles, this money will be kept in the State, which otherwise would go to glass factories outside. It is f.alse econo my. It would be better to buy these bottles from citizens at an advance over the factory prices; that is the way I look at it. Every dollar kept at home benefits the county. A large proportion of these bottles were brought in by children, and now these little peolle are deprived of their sou ce of revenue; they are sad and disconsolate. their business has suddenly terminated. Many lit tle fellows, through tl- eir activity in searching for bottles, had a quarter to spend, who, from now until we buy bottles again will never see a cent. The bottle business had a ten de icy to encoarage in them thrift ind indusiry,and I think theyshould beencour 'ged in this by the State. But I tell you it is a great relief to me to be rid of them; they caine in every moment of the day, and put me to my wits ends to find place to store the bottles. I have the back room there now stocked full of cases of them. Well, you must excuse me now, but come again. THE WEEK'S WORK IN CONGRESS A Synopsis of the Iroceedings of Both House and Senate. The following is a synopsis of the proceedings of both branches of con gress for the past week: 80TE DAY.-The currency debate in the house occupied over -fire hours. The most impor tant speech was that of Mr. Brosius, republi-, can of Pennsylvania. a member of the report ing committee. in which he made a plea for united action in bringing relief to the country. Several propositions were rejected. The diplomatie and consular bill was the feature of the senate session. Went over without action. The bill appropriating $4.0,0Q for the new Chicago postoffice building was passed. 31TH DA.-All three the measures looking to financial relief, known as the administra tion currency bill and the amendments thereto. were killed in the house this day by decided votes.

Many seats vacant on account of the extreme cold weather. 32ND DAY.-Nothing was done in either of the branches but refer two important messages from the president to the proper committees.

The other referred to the death penalty imposed upon the Ameri cans who took part in the recent uprising In Hawaii. 33RD DA.-The eenate decided by a vote of 86 to 25 that the amendment to the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill for the eon struction and maintenance of a telegraphic ea ble between the United States and the Ha Walin Islands was in order under the rules. and immediately afterwards. by a similarvote, it adepted he amendment and then passes the bill. The proceedings of the house were devoid of any exciting episode er the transaction of any business of general interest or importance. Some progress was made with the considera tie Of-the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. 34TX DAY.-Senator Hill Introduced the fol lowing resolution to come up tomorrow: 'That the true o-iciy of the government re Quires that its eforts should be steadiy di rected to the establishment of a safe system of bimetallism. wherein gold and silrer may be maintained at a parity. and every dollar coin ed ma- be the equal in value and power of every dollar coined or issued by the United tates, bu% if our e~orms to establish or main lain such bimetalliem shall not be wholly sue ~eesful. and If, for any reason. ourr silver coin shalt aet hereafter be at parity with gold and silver ad the equal thereof in value and pow sr in the market ad the payment of debts then is is hereby deelnrred that the bonds of the United States now or hereafter issued, which by their terms arc payable in coin, shall. nevertheless, be paid in standard gold dollars. i being tbe policy of the United States, that ts creditors shall, at all times, be paid in the best money in use." Senator Allen addressed the sernate on the A~labama election matter. The ses.sion of the iouse was given to thc consideration of the egislative, cxecutiv'e and judicial appropria :ion bill for the year er'in:l; June 30.l~6.

LAIR CITED IN CAROLINA'S CAPITAL In the Heart of Columbia, the Seat of the Dispensary, an Underground faloenj of the Most Remarkable Con cealment, is Unearthed. COLUMrIA, S. C., February .-6liek moonshiners who have for years been making a study of ingenious methods to evade the United States revenue laws are not in it with the South Cam lina dispensary law evaders. A lair was unearthed yesterday in the heart of Carolina's capital, which was almost in the bowels of the earth, a lair which rivals that of the North Carolina moonshiners who dived through a river's waters to reach the mouth of their underground distillery. It was way down under the cellar of the grocery store of Messrs. Platt, Hook & Shull, and the whole construc tion of the underground tunnel, partic ularly the manner of concealing the way of entrance, was the aeme of ingenuity. About $1,300 worth of liquor was bagged, for between 300 and 400 gallons of good liquor were confiscated. Down Into the Bowels-of the Earth. The search of the place was made by the liquor constables and police. The owners of the store refused to allow the officers to go into the store, but opened up the cellar. The building is a very long one and the eellar-way the officers were ushered into ran only half way. At the rear end was solid earth. The officers knew what they were doing, however, for they sent for shovels and spade and began to dig into the wall of earth. After digging forward about six feet their instruments struek air and they soon got into the rest of the cellar. They went in and searched all around. On one side next the brick wall was what appeared to be the solid foundation of a large chimney, run ning on up through the building. On this their attention eentered. Pretty soon they began to et into the briek, and in a short time they gazed through and by the flickering light of a candle they could see that the chimney was a false one, that inside a ladder ran up wards and there was a neat little bar with all necessaries inside. They cut the hole larger and got inside. The Subterranean Bar Unearthed. They saw the bottom of an ingenious trap door in the floor abovM, which eould not be detected above as it was eovered by shelving. Pat the liquor had not yet been found and the real ingenuity of the hiding place was yet to be seen. The sonstables looked around the inside walls of the chimney md towards the onter wall they Inslly liscovered a door at the mouth of a ong dark tunnel running ba4k into the "bowels of the earth." A man ,ould almost stand ereet in the neatly .onstrueted tunnel. Then the explora Hion of this tunnel began. The nemsta bles went en and on tntil they struck , point where te tuwel divided and branched in opposite direetiona, and hen the liquor was in sight. There was about forty feet of unxnetnhg and bhe earth taken out of it had been used ,o make the false baek to the eellar. Et took the constables several hours to ret all the liquor stored ins the tunnel t And there was lets of it. n all ~he eonstables estimate they got nearly our hundred gallons.

A iLmA, Felrnary 12.- The meet ing of the exceutrve board of the South ern Pacscnger association tha t was held here yesterday hung Are ami no action was taken as was e:pected looking af ter the reorganization of the ass.ocia tion. As is well known, the southern lines that form the association. have been at outs for somc time ptst and all of the leading railroad have given no tiee of witidrawal from the association. There was to be a meeting of the aszo eiation in New York n monc). ago to pa':ch up the association, h ut owing to a Ink of a quorum no-hing was achieved. There was no qnorum pres ent yesterday and the meeting of the exeentive board was a failtre. Many of the prominent passenjger agents eame last night, howeevs, and the mass meeting today of all the roads of the seetion may bring so2ae good re sults. The railroads have been caled to send representatives to this mass meeting for the purpose of seeing what enn be done with !,he Southern Passen rer association. It is thought that a iomplete reorganization wfll result and bat a new association will be formed with no connection with the Southern Railway a-nd 6teamship sisociation un der whose cont-rol the puisenger asso slation has been managed heretofore. EVANS' ANSWER TO TURNEY. Wakea Wrlitben Exp!anation of t1he C.arges Bronght and 3a1kos Ccur ter-Char.;-. NAsuvu.LE. Tenn.. February 1 lay Evans, the republican claimant of the governorship has Sled his a:nswer o the charges of gorernor Turney. It omprises specified repliws to the alle rations of the contestani as to frauds .n republican counties &ad then sets ap at great length charges of fraud in number of other counties to which he cont-estee made objection in joint xvnvention. Evans begki by empha izing his protest against the proceed ngs on the ground that tieg are un xOnstitutional, indsts that the law msed by the present eilslature is re iwactive and asserts that governor Tur :ey's charges are glittering genernlties. he paper denies that Turne;- refceived majority of votes. It aserts that the >o1i tax. law in force in this state is mneonstitutional. Evans :na;ee snecific Mnd lvngthy answers to Turney's arues and then makes counter ihtarges not les striking than those nade Ly Turrey. HOW EVANS WILL PROCEED.
