Whetn?ir tbe allegations of corruption and graft In the dispensary are true or not, the people of Soutn Carolina will not stand tor even the suspicion of suoh things. Wm re there ls so much ?moke there must, be some fire, and the people of the Stato will not sU'Ul for the dispensai y as lt has been cou ducted.

The prl mary system ls a great system, but under it there has unfortunately grown up the ousiom of magnifying tho duties of the candidate and mini mtzlug the duties of the cit./.cu. He favors the improvement of the sehoo s and oommcnus the establishment of tho Slate reformatory. He stands today lor every educational rciorm which he has ever advocated. liv; urged the importance of the drainage of the coastal region and advocated the establishment of every county of a model farm. Time dees not permit him to discuss tho dispensary. Per* aonally he ls opt OJed to the use of liquor, but he doesn't beilevo prohibi tion practicable. Ho favors tho State dispensary, but not the dispen sary as it now exists. He would ll rut have it clean -cd and the rascals In it placed behind prl?oo bars.

Worst Cruelty Russia HHS Ever Been Guilty Of. Jewish Father, Moth er, Daughter and Son Lashed Together by Torturers and Beaten to Death. The massacre of the Jews at Bialy stok the first of last week must have been something awful. The corres* pondent of the New York American visited all parts of tho town, taking evidence from both Jewish and Chris tian residents. Here ls what he eayB: Tho massacre was essentially effl olal. The pul e\ military holl'gans and the Blaok Hundred played subor dinate rules in ov??r oaso. /Vt a parlo! wnen a mass of butcheries occurred toe p dice and soldiers either actively assisted or enomraged the butchers. There are many autentloated oases of soldiers themse.ves perpetrating slaughter. lu the B >yare district, whore thc worst maasaores occurred, tho soldiers of the Uglitsky, Sixty rMrd Regiment, accompanied by two elli rm., massnored seven Jews at Gep nur's saw mill. Full details of this tragedy wero given mo by tho survlv lng manager. Ween the soldiers were ccup ed with looting, their vlottnoa sought refuge in asuull wooden hou:e on which at 0 o'clock on Friday evon iug the soldiers fired suddenly Many Jaws of this district, especial ly girls, b carno Insane. The ? tliljers oidercd thc inmates to come out one by ono. Five of them wore shot dead as they emerged from I he house and six were hacked to piect s by sabres. Ooo rcrralned In the house, an old woman named Ktutsoh, seventy yoars of ago, and tlie Bcldlers burned the house and she perished lu thc dames. lu other oases the soldiers were merely onlookers. In Souven ir streets a prosperous Jow named Podlatoheff kept a leathor workshop. The pro prietor, hts relatloes, named First ra-.pn, and six others were slaughter ed 1 inspected the dabbled with pools of blood and fragments of llesh and hair aro sticking to tho walls. First manu was tho tirst killed. He was s int by a gendarme named Sohult/.e. then tho Hooligans stripped th? corpsi ; carved pieces out of the breast and drove nails Into the nose. Four frightened employes took shel ter lu au outhouse tho Hooligans broke lt open and beat them to death. The soldiers locked on, and tho Hooligans were unmolested. Tho young son of the proprietor was saved by the sol diers who cried, "Ifiuough; don't kill tue boyI 1 HOUSE OF nounou. Outside this house 1 saw a younth wearing tho blood-stained olothes of a s aughtered mother. In mauy oases whole families were exterminated. 1 visited a house in old Boyare a'.n ot occupied by A tostel)i, a resp Ct td teacher, who with his mother, daughter and two sons, were done to death by Hooligans underthe command i-f a disguised police ( llloer while Bol dlers were pretont. At first the sol ders fired into the house and a polloo man ordered tho family to save them selves In tho fields. There after tying father, son, mother and daughter to gether, they were beaten to death, tho police meantime firing at ran dom. Two witnesses assuro mo that nails were hammered into the son's faco be fore his death. In the fi iii are pools if blood. Everywhere lune cent children stand aiguh g beside these ghastly pools, talking about whom ?ach belongs to. Next door llvjs a woman named L vin, with eight ohil dren, whose husband was oarved to pieces in her sight. Throughout town for two days the massacres continued. Fiendish tortur es and mutilation of the o ?rp s invad? ably followed the masaores with active '.r passive co operation of authorities. In many cases the polio? tacibly auth < rlzed the buthery by ordering the Hooligans to spare particular individ uals. I interviewed two person who escaped by bribing the soldier*. O.;0 girl, living on Alexander street, after her father hid oeeu bayounetted, paid a soldier 20 roubleb that she might be spared her?elf. Both Jews and Christiane agree, 'hat many f Isguised policemen were among the H johgans M .sb of the victims of thu soldiers tried to defend themselves, but while the Hooligan* broke down the doors of their homes, the holdiers looked on, and if a J.:w defended himself or even appeared ai a window i hey fired a volley, kllllr.g the defenders or driving them luto the hanns of the Hooligans. Con cerning the Viadlu.irsky ann (Jglltsky, Hg m nts, J^w witnesses alli.m that C I ucl Buk vsky dlr orly encouraged i ne soldiers, crying: ' uoelttz dd fil ' t pt ts, kill the J iws. T jr ture before death repeatedly occurred, and mutilation afterward. In Nikolai street a woman had a Cfowear thrust down her throat and iheh twlstsd. She finally was hacked lo death with a hatchet and left to bleed to death. Tub hands of II lyar, a tailor, were nailed to a table while ho was clubbed to death. DRAGQICD TO ll 18 DOOM, A little girl whoso body I saw In the Jewish Hospital had her leg sawed cit whllo she was yet alive! O Jiers wero carved to death slowly, lo the yard of the Jewish II ispltal, where eighty-six corpses were laid sid s by side, 1 saw tidrty cases of mutilation. In Home, noses were ou! ott lu others tho oars were cut ( IV In many oases nails were driven Into the face or skull. Ooo old man had his cyoa torn out. A clerk named liernstoin was dragged fnun a train and battored to deatu. His body was afterward found i In a field, handless, and with a sharp enod stick driven into the stomaoii. The complicity of olllolalo, soldiers 1 and polios has been established by un- < oontroverLabio ovldenco, and will un- I (luestlouably ho confirmed in tho ( Ul- I clal report. St. Chepkln, a member ' of tho Duma 1 tutu try Commission, ( has established that tho massacre was not Inspired from St. Petersburg, but by local ollblals, who believe tbat the Dzir's government desired tho massa- r uro us a counterweight against the ' 'evolution. I s I have established the faot that fc Mo massacre was pinn noa (Vf ya ip ar ranoo. For instance, wbenMbhe frew, ish deputation on Tuesday Biked a police cffloer named Shoremt ?tiefl for permission to lay a wreath on tbe gravi! of a murdered poli od masier named Dergatohoff. 8heremetMefI oyn- t\ ioally answered, "You'll get an an swer on Thursday," whioh was the first day of the killing. Dafgatohoff was jb clever and humane .man, be loved by Jews and Christin DB. His murder by the Jow halters .gave his subordinates freedom to execute their plot. v LAID TO THK Q0VBnN(1Ul Tho Governor of Grodno (Province ls equally guilty. Ile arrlven Thurs- ' day evcn'ng and stayed only two hours. He did nothing to stop the masssore. and worse vlolenoft follow ed his visit. The appointment by tho Durna of an inve ligating o m mission can s "ci a cessation ob slaugh ter. The small proportion of wound ed to killed shows the Impunity with whioh tho murderers were allowed to finlBh their victims. Some of these were thrice killed by bullet?. Vn<viB 1 land oudgels. Every ravaged house I I visited Htiowa that the raiders wore ? left In possession for hours. A re . markante vea? oro of ibis massacre is the absence of outrages on the wo men. Though thirty were kilted, there is no authenticated oase of out rage discoverable. This is explainer 1 rn oause tho Hooligans and troops got their orders only to "killi" The preolBe number of deaths can not bo learned There are eighty-six dead now In tho Jewish hospital and seven lu the Christian hospital, but tbe oorpscs of those dragged from the train and killed were buried without being counted. The material des truction ls enormous. In four im portant streets nearly every window, door and shutter is broken, except in the Christians houses. M ny of the wealthier Jews CRoap-d, owing to the Iron gates of their oourt yards, but the soldiers fired through the win dows. In one bouse I saw thirty rlllb bullet holes In tho windows, thou? ii there was nobody within eave an old lady and a woman servant. The houses into whioh tho mob broke were lltterally destroyed. Even the wallpaper was toro down Toe rioters stolo everything portable; even children's toys were smabhod. The heavy furniture and tho un8mashable things were thrown out of the windows. The merchants' account books were burned, and only the bare walls were left. In a bakery, where the owner was killed, thc mob soaked the loaves of bread in a pool of blood, leaving be hind an ironioal note. In Levin's mill, where Christians and Jews work together, the mobbltes cut tho cloth and yarn belonging to thc Jows leav ing the Christian's yarn untouched. It is estimated that tho loss will amount to two million roubles. The relatives of the vlotlms have been de prived of everything and are afraid to re-enter the houses. They arc begging in tho streets of the town. SENATOR TILLMAN -"TN Will Not Oa'l on the PvcelC 'ht Until Ho Apologizes, i "I have been insulted there once and I do not propose to plfoe myself in this position again if I o*n prevent it." These are the words used by Senator'Tillman Thurso*; *\ l,Q was made acquainted with ho presi dent's rcoent utterances tending to Indicate a desire for a reoonalltatlon between himself and the sonlor sena tor from South Carolina. Tho unpleasant difficulty a fow years ba ok between Senator? Tillman aud MoLaurln, and the subs?quent withdrawal of Tillman's levitation to tho reception at the Whit:} Houso to meet Prince Henry, then paying a visit to this country, are still fresh In the minds of the people who have fol lowed Senator Tillman's oa-etr slue he entered thc senate. There ls no notion on the part of Senator Tillman of bringing about a reoon ol Hatton with tic onief tx cu tive, unless such reomclliation is ao companied by an unconditional apolo ny from *he president, and as there 1? little probability of this, tho matter of a love feast between them ls still In the air. Those who know Senator Tillman well, know that noth'ng short tf an apology will satisfy him.

Tue utterances of Senator T'llman that ho would not allow him self to be again Insulted, are believed to represent his real feelings toward tho president, While ho admits be ls as ready to forgive a man-whether he is president or a prlvtto cltl'/. jn for a wrong, he ls not willing, aooord lng to lils own words, to place him .?elf in the attitude of beiu? wllfulh insulted a second time, even though that man bo the president of the United States Wanted to Iiynoh li ir, Mrs. Emma K ?nff.nann. wife of a wealthy Sinus Falls brower was brought Into oort Wednesday for the conclusion of lier preliminary hearing on a obarge of having caused the death cf ber maidservant, Ague.

A cablegram from Tangier Moroco, bells how, with such details of fiend ish oruelty that they cannot be fully realized, Mohammed Messfewl, the iroh-murderer of Marakeseh, ban been walled up alive. It was this same Mesfewl who waa bo have bren oruolilrd for his tremen dous orlmes-lt is known that he murdered not fewer than thirty six young women-and who was saved from that fashion of excoution by tho outcry of tho resident foregln officials. It would have been better had tuese samo (lllotals not interfered j with Morocoar. justloo, for Mosfewi oeforo he died underwent lingering torturo compared with which cruci fixion would have been merciful. THE AKOnVMUUDBll'S CHIMES. Mesfewl was a cobbler and publi? letter writer. Associated with him in his crimes was au old womau seventy years of *ge named Annah. Mauy girls of tho city disappeared in the last days of April and tho parents of ono young woman traocd her to the cobbler's shop. Annah was put to tho torture and confessed. She told that tho girls, who oame to dlotato letters, wero treated to drugged wine and then beheaded. Twenty decapitated bodies were round in a deep pit under the shop and sixteen more in the garden. Aunah died under thc torture and Mesfewl confessed. By an ancient Moorish custom ho was ooudemued to b?> crucified. Ills crucifixion was set for May 2, but this form of punishment wus given up because of the foreign clam or, and lt was announced that Mes fewi would be beheaded. His death by the still moro awful prooess of lm* muremeut shows that tho Moroccan authorities "blinded tho eyes" of tbe foreigners. Mesfewl was kept lu tho Marakesoh jail until outside attention was dull ed, and theu, on May 15, his torturo begau. Daily ho was led iuto thc market place and whipped with switohei? of tho thorny acoacia. The oohbler was stripped to the waist, and while two assistants held tho victim's arms out stretched, the olty executioner laid on the spiked rods. Ten strokes were given oaoh day and eaoh stroke drew blood. The number of strokes wai kept down be cause Mesfewl was au old mau and the people of Marakesoh had no idoa 'u* letting him die too easily. , MOST MKUOIFUIi CllUlOLTYl After oaoh lloggiug tho oobbler's baok wau tougnencd and anointed with vinegar and oil, so that ho might be lit for tue next day's ordeal. So tho daily whippings went on, and when lt was heeu tnat despite all o.ire M.sfewl was falling into exnaus tion lt was decided to oarry out the supremo Benteuo*. This waa that he be wahed up alive in the public market place.

Ho had akeii his whippings with fatalistic ortitude, hoping he might die under he thorns, but when lie was dragged oward the upright tomb he struggl d with his jailers and screamed for neroy. Screaming ho was thrust into the eooss in thc thlok wall, and, icream, ng, ho was dial ned up. Thero he /as left for a whllo, for there was lenty of time.

But the crowd was not yot satisfied. Mesfewl was not dead, and tbe throng pressed forward and kept quiet to bear tbe mi Hl d screams for mercy that oame out of the wall. Every time Mesfewl screamed the crowd yolbd Night oamo, bra/.'ern wore Ut, coffee was made and still Mesfewl aoroamad and the orowds yelled. Tuesday, Juno 12 oame in, and the market place was as crowded as over, and Mesfewl was still screaming foi mercy. So lt went on all day and all night. 0 ily Mesfewi's soreams were growing falntor. When Wednesday broke 1 those close up to tho wall reported that the dead-alive was only moaning, tripally the moaning stopped and the orowd cursed Mesfewl for dying so soon, and the delayed business of the market was resumed.
