THE MANNING TIMES, LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, July 3, 1S95. Trying to Create a Prejudice. It is simply outrageous the way certain newspapers are endeavoring to create a bitter feeling against the State constables. Last Friday morn ing the officers ran upon a band of moonshiners near Spartanburg, and, when a surrender was demanded of them, they opened tire on the con stables, shooting one of them down and wounding another. The con stables, although wounded, returned the fire and killed two of the moon shiners, while the others escaped, leaving behind them a lot of contra band whisky. The newspapers against the dis pensary law are severely criticising the constables, and are actually en deavoring to convict them of murder in the eyes of the world for no other reason than they are State officers enforcing the dispensary law. In their zeal to blacken these offi cers certain newspapers are over reaching themselves, as they usually do, and are making themselves ridic ulous. They would create the im pression that the constables killed two inoffensive citizens who were riding on the public highway; that these "good citizens" made no effort to resist the officers, and, in fact, these "good citizens" were asleep in their wagons when shot, and that the constables wounded one another. These papers agree that Constable Pettigrew was shot down before any other gun was fired, and- that the constables were armed with double barreled shotguns. w h il e their wounds were inflicted with rifle balls; yet, after so stating the facts, they purposely twist the affair so as to make political capital. These "good citizens," who were so inhumanely butchered by the con stables according to certain news papers, are men with noble records. One, whose name is Fisher, has killed eight men, has had three brothers killed in the moonshine whisky wars. Durham, the other, has a similar bloody record, and in the face of all this, together with the fact that the constables had been shot down before any of their own guns were fired, the opposition news papers would stir up a feeling against the constables for the sake of po litical prejudice. Tickling the Republicans. The Charleston News and Courier and the Columbia State are very severe on the people of Edgefield for refusing to allow Col. J. J. D.argan to speak in their town last week. Their denunciation of those people is only buncombe and only intended to tickle the ear of a few people in the North, who still believe the negro vote will again be of use. If the people of Edgefield did not want Dargan to preach his offensive doctrines in their midst they had a right to inform him of that fact, and when he undertook to defy those people and go there anyway, it is no wonder they became incensed and showed a determination not to allow him to scatter his poisonous heresies among them. We think the people of Edgefield only played into Dargan's hand ; they gave him just what he wanted, and he wll now fill his Boston ad mirers with his tale of woe, and they in return will send him evidences of their appreciation for his heroic ef forts in behalf of their black pets. The best way to treat Col. Dargan is to quietly let him alone. If he goes to a town and the citizens do not care to hear him, let them stay away and let him talk to the winds. If they adopt such a course Colonel Dargan will soon tire of playing to the Boston abolition galleries, as his audience will first tire of him and put a brake on sending him a "five years' subscription in advance" for the Freeman. He will peter out as a liberty manufacturer, and the chances are he will return to his first love-viz., chasing "niggers" over the country and pulling their leaders from the platforms to prevent them from speaking, congregating and to hold political meetings, a right which Colonel Dargan did not think they should exercise as long as the white people had a little office in sight for him. A Grand Showmng. The official report of the State dispensary for the quarter ending April 30, 1895, is now out and shows that the institution has done an im mense amount of business. The report shows from whom the stock was bought, the number of gallons and the price paid. It also shows clearly the receipts and dis bursements, and to a cent how this immense business stood at the end of that quarter. -The assets of the concern is shown to be $254,:321.42, and out of the $50,000- appropriated by the Legis lature about $19,000 remains yet to be paid back, but, while such is the case, the dispensary has to its credit in the State treasury and in bank $75,523.75, showing a fine, healthy business condition. The legislative committee that investigated this in stitution, in speaking of the many improvements put in operation by Colonel F. M. Mixson, the State Com missioner, also compliments him and his chief clerk, Mr. Seth W. Scruggs, who devised the system, for the per feet and excellent manner of book keeping, and they conclude their elaborate report with the following statement : "Under the present management the affairs of the dis ensrry appear to be managed upon most intelligent business principles. The financial showing is satisfactory and reflects credit upon the Commis siner ndr his corps of assistants." Charleston Spite Work. The grand jury of Charleston dis played its prejudice to the dispensa ry law to such an extent that they found "No Bill" on all of the indict ments handed them for violation of the dispensary law, and in some of the cases the testimony for the State was positive, and they went further: they charged and presented Trial Justice Gaillard, who sent the cases up, with drunkenness and recom mended his removal. In this wonderful malicious pre sentment they say they have been unable to get any evidence to sub stantiate their charge against the trial justice, but that they are satis fied the charge is true. Had they told the truth they would have said, the reason his removal was asked was that Gaillard is a Reformer and sends whiskey cases to the upper court whenever there is any evidence to warrant his course. Such conduct on the part of a grand jury surely is not to be com mended by the good citizens of Charleston, and they must know that such folly and narrow-minded prejudice is doing the "City-by-the Sea" no good, but that it is arraying a class of people from whom it gets a considerable portion of its income, against it. The only class in Charleston inter ested in keeping up the war on the dispensary is the rip-roaring ward politician and slum-keeper, but it seems to us that the business men and other good citizens could see that the city is being damaged every time such men succeed in thwarting the law of the State. Editor Williams has begun his pe culiar method of attempting to win the fight for the constitutional convention. He promises his Con servative allies if they would use physical, pecuniary and social influences they would surely win, and on last Friday he opened the ball with the social influence part of the program by devoting the entire editorial' space of the Greenville News to a colored firemen's celebra tion. Williamsburg and Edgefield in con vention last Monday declined to have an equal division. Hampton will have two Reformers and one Con servative. Marion will divide equally with the condition that the Conserv ative counties divide equally. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than aWl other diseases put - to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great any years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven eatarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitution al treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manu factured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts di rectly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dol lars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

The holding of political conferences in South Carolina seems to have no ending. Twenty-one gentlemen came together the other day without previous warning to the public, and put in motion a set of machin ery which no donbt they believe will reg ulte.affairs in tbis State. They resurrected a political corpse of the last camnpaign and undertook to revive its buried energies, but they are dressing it up in new apparel, hoping thereby to de ceive the people. Last fall, it will be remembered, there were several conferences in the interest of Senator Butler, and tnese finally culmi nated in the skeleton of an organization which gave very few signs _of life and eventually sank of its own weight. Mr. J. I-. Carson of Spartanburg was made chairman of its executive committee, and this was the nucleus for the conference which met with closed doors and windows at the Hotel Jerome on the 21st inst. The session was protracted and at times stormy, which proves that all was not serene and lovely on the inside. The ad dress to the people shows on its face that the extremists did not dictate its com plexion, and yet enough is there to give them ennouragemient and hope. The tighters want to go much further at this time, but they are held in check, and it is not stated whether or not they pro. poe to keep within present bounds. We are not at all in sympathy with this movement, nor do we believe that a ma jority of the Conservatives favor an organ ization of this kind. These gentlenen are not authorized to speak for the thirty thousand voters who came together in support of the Sheppard and Orr ticket three years ago, and there has been no authoritative utterance since that time to warrant the conclusion that the thirty thousand desire a [actional fight in the election of delegates to the Constitu tional convention. On the contrary, there are abundant evidences that the majority of them wish an end to the strife and con fusion in our politics. But the Twenty One seem to think otherwise, and the most of them have been hankering after a fight for a long time, so that we may resign our selves to the inevitable and let the test be made. We do not believe that ten thousand white men will be enrolled in this move ment, and there is no sign given among the leaders that they expect a greater nuim ber with them. The bulk of the Conservatives will re main either inactive (as duiring the last campaign) or else they will take piosition against this movement, which can not com mend itself to the judgment and approval of men who wish to terminate the useless contention in this State. A few newspapers and politicians are keeping~ up the agitation on either side, but the masses of the people are not eon cerred with the schemes and plans so much in vogue with the agitators. But they must not rest supinely while these plans are being put into shape for another fierce conflict, and it is the duty of every man to let it be known just where he stands. Conservatives who do not wish to per petuate strife and dissension and who pre fer that the white people come together in selecting the best men to frame a constitu tion for the State, must not lose the oppor tunity of placing themselves on record against this new movement.

President Fauri l'onates 2000 Francs, and the United States Consul One Half as Much for the Relief of the Sutferera. P.is, July 2.-Fir! started in the military eqnipment works in the Rue Rocheouart yesterday and spread so rapidly that the eimployes -vere driven quiclhiy into the street. The supply of n ater was insuflicient for the use of the firemen and the flames extended to adjacent buildings in Rue Petrella and Rue Gondoreit. in the latter destroying an immense building devoted to the menifacture of gas metres. The flames spread with the greatest rapidity, and the employes were quick lv di-:en into the street. The firemen were promptly at the scene. but their efi'orts to subdue the flames were ren dered fruitless by a scarcity in the i water supply. The fire extended to dings on Rue Petrelle to the north and Rue Coudorect to the south. The immense building on tne latter street devoted to the manufacture of gas metres was destroyed. Altogether eight buildings. including several dwellings were burned. It was not until late yesterday evening that the fire was extinguished. The loss is fully :,-2;0,000 francs. Immense crowds gathered in the vicinity to watch the conflagration and it was necessary to call upon the troops to aid the police in cordoning the street. The firemen and dozens of citizens were severely hurt. M. Leygues, minister of the interior, visited the injured in the hospital and presented to one of the firemen a medal for bravery. President Faure has do nated -1.000 francs and the United States consul 1,000 francs to the suffer ers. The origin of the fire is unknown. THE SAN FRANCISCO FIRE. Million and a Half Dollars Lost-Fatali. ties and IncIdents. SAx FrANCIsCO, June 29.-The fire last night destroyed four blocks in the heart of the manufacturing district of the city, iuvolving a loss of $1,500,000 in property and sacrificing one life. It raged unchecked for over four hours, feeding on a succession of wooden buildings and might have been beyond control for many hours longer but for lucky change in the wind. The burned areas bounded by Towns end, Bryant, Third and Fifth streets. The flames made occasional invasions outside these limits but only to the ex tent of a few houses. A liss Gilroy was burned to death. This was the only fatality reported. She was attempting tosave some of her belongings and was covered with burn ing oil. During the progress of the fire a steam boiler exploded in a French laundry. The force of the ex plosion sent about half a ton of boiler flving through the building. A piece lodged in Shirley's hotel. So great was the shock that all the windows not destroyed by the heat were blown into the streets. There was a thrilling scene while the convent and parochical school attached to St. Rose's church were in flames. A few moments before the roof felk in a boy was seen at one of the upper windows. A cry of hor ror wecnt up from the crowd and the firemen yelled to the boy to jump. A blaniket was held out, but just then the flames and smoke cnveloped the build ing and the next moment the roof fell in with a cr-ash. Everybody thought the boy was lost, but he jumped into the blanket held by the firemen and escaped uninjured. THE STATE AND CHURCH Connlicting, the Tennessee Courts Will settle the Question.
