I \OL Y11L NO I'l(OI 11 HIT I ON IN THIS. I# '.fislatui'c to Provide I-'or a liar in i)ne1i County. N< w s ah<l Courier. Itm imSeptember 12. ? Spe(ioverner Tillman has come i on' in a latter to Senator Fuller of I.aureus, in which ho gives an outline of one of the dispensary amend iii-Mits ho proposes to offer to the Legislature. Ho evidently wants to tn iho a good financial showing and is unwilling to have those counties 5 have dispensaries and make a iP?dar or two contribute it to the j I support of a constabulary in alleged prohibition counties. He wants dis pensaries established for a dual pur- , po-v?to make money by which taxes may be reduced and to keep down the terrible "blind tigers" (Jovernor Tillman has "sat down"' most beautifully cn the county hoard in Laurens, and the opening of the dispensary there upon a question- i aide basis lias been postponed for a few days at least. IKKNATOR Kl*I.I.Kit S I'HOTRST. Senator Fuller had the boldness to , bring the irregularities to the (lover- | nor's attention. Here is the letter he wrote: Laukkns, S. 0., Sept. 5, 1893. Coventor B li. Tillman, Chair i | matt Board of Control of State Dis? j pensary?Dear Sir: I write to inform you from the standpoint of those j wl o, tn exercising their right of lot a 1 option under the Dispensary A? t, prefer prohibition to the disp usury, of certain events transpir iuir here which should sincerely con ecru yourself and other members of it. I. 1 1 S . L n .. iMr uoaru, as ueing cnieuy responsible under the law for tho fair and ! fai'liful administration of the Dispensary Act. I myself am afraid of t! e Dispensary Act as a whole, hut1 more of its local option feature, ami j only ask that our rioht of local ! op ion under the law shall be res- ' pected, and a fair, impartial and non partisan enforcement of the Act ho had. Nohody here has asked or expressed anything else than what the question shall be decided by as-; eel mining on which side stood the I majority of bona fide freehold vo. Tho county board met on the 21st J 01 j\iasi, iiiHi uic peimon or I.angston for office of county dispenser \vii8 presented and contained fifty-live names, twenty-one whites I and thirty-four colored; the list of non-signers contained seventy four whites and two colored. The hoard refused to appoint Langston on account of not having a majority of (f roe. hold voters as signers, and it was so recorded by their secretary in their minutes. List Friday, Sept. 1, met., the enclosed printed cuH, written by the I county chairman, II. F .Gray, appeared in the Laurens Herald for the hoard to meet on the 4th inst, which, for rank partisanship and wanton firings at Prohibitionists and church members, is hard to surpass. / Well, the board met and the fact was ascertained that the old petition was viewed and was circulated after tho rasp was adjudicated 011 the 21st, j and whep was known that parties who signed wanted their names of!, and thirty four negroes and nineteen whites were added?fifty-three in all. One of these, J. L. M. Irl>y, declared in my presence and that of several others; "That his name had been used without his authority, and that he didn't want to he mixed with it." Well, here were fifty.three names add^d to the petition which were nov:*i;on file in the clerk's office a single day as the law required. Where did all these freehold voters come from? II. E. Gray, chairman, sounded the keynote when he said in his call; "Every citizen of this in. , . corpora'ion should ho enfranchised *on a question where he is so much interested." A ml the business enfranchising land less citizens began in order to evade and defeat the law and the will of the people. Since the hoard met on the 21st ultimo fifty-three new names had been enfranchised and added to the petition, besidef six other names who had previously signed, but had no land, making fifty nine new freehold voters in all. ( A. K- Sullivan, candidate for dispensary hook keeper, and brother in-law ; to 11. K. ("Iruy, chairman, deeded to these fifty nine citizens one-oighth acre, more or loss, of worthless land, each share 1-472 part of one acre. and was done, the necessary majority of freehold voters was socured, and ttie hoard of control without requiring the names of these new freehold voters to be tiled at all, as the law directs, granted the petition of Langston and established the dispensary. (The deeds of conveyance of this one-eighth acre of hind to theso tifty-nine citizens are on record in the clerk's oHico.) Hut it is proper to add, that you nutv understand the whole truth, A. It. Sullivan executed two deeds of conveyance of identically the samo one-eighth acre of land. First to nineteen whites on August.'51, 1 S02, and the second on September 2 to forty negroes, every boundary precisely the same. Thus these nineteen whites were enfranchised only four fliivii hftfuro tlm Pntol moof tnrv the board on September 4 and the forty negroes but two days before, and all wore counted by the board as bona lido freehold voters. If any of these alleged facts are denied they will bo substantiated if allowed an opportunity. I laving thus submitted so much of our case as wo deem of special importance, we respectfully ask the ruling of the State board on the questions: First. Will the State board recognize the legality of the action of the county board in establishing a dispensary at Laurens on a petition acted on and refused, to which petition a considerable number of new signers were added and not put on file the ten days required by law? Second. Does the State board of control recognize those fifty nine newly enfranchised, who own the 1,472 part of an acre of land each, as bona fide freehold voters of Laurens, according to the intent anU spirit of the Dispensary Act? Third. If so, will any factional part of an acre of land legally conveyed to a person constitute him a freeholder for the purposes of this Act or wherever rights and privileges by law insure to freeholders? In conclusion I respectfully ask, in behalf of the Prohibitionists of the city and county of Laurens the white voters of which cast a heavy majority in the general primary of 1802 for prohibition, full and careful consideration of the facts and questions presented and our rights tinder the Dispensary Act. Very respectfully, A. C. Full lor. tiii: oov Kit no it's answkk. tiovernor Tillman sent the follow* ing reply to Senator Fuller: lion. A. O. Fuller, Lauren*, S. C. ? 1 )ear Sir: I n re ply to your lot tor of September 5 I bog to say the State board of control is endeavoring tc comply strictly with the dispensary law and have all others do so. II your statements are true, which I <lc not doubt, the county board of Laurens has transcended their authority and we will not recognize tlicit action as legal. Your questions in regard to the legal status of the newly enfranchised citizens is one for the Courts t< pass on. The irregularity of the county board arose from not haying the petition on file the ten days required by law. We will not lend ourselves to anything that is unlaw ful in establishing a dispensary in Lpurens, though we know that a dispensary is the safest and chenposl remedy against blind tigers, and thai the State constables cannot be paid except from the revenue derived f i irom dispensaries. I will not only endeavor to enforce the dispensary, law where dispensaries do not exist until the legislature nice':, and then ask that th< prohibition eountios which object tc dispensaiies shall support the constables by taxation. If yon are a friend to the dispensary law you will not lend your influence to our enemies and the ene mies of prohibition to prevent th< establishment or at least one dispen sary for each county. I hope yoi understand by this time that th< struggle is not one between nrohihi tion and the dispensary, but a struggle between the d'sponsary and tin license system which we havo jusi overthrown. I shall write tho chair man of the county hoard that hii board must comply with the terms ol the dispensary law before a dispell sary can be established in Laurens Yours respectfully, 11. It. Tillman, Governor. The Governor also wrote to chair, man Gray that the action of tin board had been irregular if the ter du)s' notice had not been given ant that such must be done. Mr. Gray wrote in reply that th< list had been kept open from timeti time: that more than teti days lut elapsed since the original list hat been filed, and that tho new namei were regarded as a part of the firs 'Be True to \ ON WAY, S. Cm _? - ? r list tiled. (Governor Tillman wrote that ten day8 would have to elapse after the complete list had heen tiled before it could be considered. It is said that a great many of the names filed wore . C C t. .1.1-.- - 1 -- a\ I--- it in nu'iiuiu?rs uitiuu U" i lie (lay Ill(! list was considered. (iovernor '['illman seems t<? l?e vory well satisfied with the way the dispensaries are springing up on all sides, and expects to have the Regis lature put one in every county in the : State. A IIA HI) BKI) FOR A SI'Y. Governor Tillman is very much ; exorcised over a letter ho has just received from Constable Swan. He has done some utoro talking about the sheriff of Charleston County, and there the matter will no doubt end. This morning ho received the following letter from that notorious constable Swan: Onaki.kston, Sept. 7. 1893. Governor 13, R. Tillman, Columbia, S. C.?Dear Sir: I came out of .fail yesterday afternoon after being | most brutally treated. My bedding was sent and was refused by the jailer. 1 <vas put in a room with burglars and thieves. My bed was a narrow bench, with my coat for a 1 pillow. I have to report to the Unit d States marshal daily, My instruc turns are to make no now cases or arrests. Yerv respectfully, C. P. Swan. Til.I.MAN M.VKKS A Til HEAT. Governor Tillman, whilo apparently in a good humor, had this to say: "Well, it didn't last long enough to do anything, but it only shows the animus of tlie jailer and his friends. 1 simply published that letter as a warning that if that kind of tiling is tried here 1 will sec what can be done by the Legislature or somebody else to make that crowd down there know that the State constables have not been just picked up from the scum of the earth and are to be respected, and that the jailer in refusing to let him have his bedding in Jail has simply acted as a dirty tool of a dirty crowdt and if ho has any regard for his job ho had better not try it any moro. The sheriff is responsible for his employee's conduct, and if lie can't be reached by a jury he can be renched by a Legislative committee." Jailer Kelly will no doubt have a word or two to sav on the ouestion. U A ~ and it is pretty safe to say he that he is not very much worried by the threats of Governor Tillman. Jailer Ivelley's Version of Swan's Iniprisonmciit. To begin with, Swan was never placed in any cell. lie was assigned to the white man's quarters, , which are it) the northeast corner of the Jail. In tliis enclosure therearo twelve separate apartments, and in the middle is a large hallway provided with a table benches alongside. There wore only four prisoners in these quarters when Swan arrived? ; three white men and a white boy. They are all rather respectable look! ing persons. They seemed highly ? amused when informed by a Kepor' tcr that Swan was dissatisfied with their company, and one of them ? suggested that they were, at least physically sound, which was more r than could be said for the stalwart ' minion of the Chief Executive. Swan had his pick of eight apart> ments, and ho naturally chose the corner room with a window on the ? east ami another on the north side, > just a few feet away. The place is ; perfectly clean and well ventilated. After Swan had chosen his room I Jailer Kelly had a brand new bunk with new clean bedding put in os i peeially for him. The bunk is by - actual mensurment two feet wido by i six feet eight inches long, and is held ' ti j> by straps at each end a loot long. I New straps were putjon for Swan as he I is an unusually larere and heavy man. %> o " J There was positively nothing iit the J room which had hewn in use before, and all was ns clean and neat as a - new pin. 5 The whiskey constable, however, ' must have expected to have been - confined near the barrel of "Diamond II" that got him into so much trou ble, or in the vicinity of Vincent Chicco's good old wine, for he did not turn in the comfortable bunk > assigned him, but wont into tho hallway ' these individual apartments 1 were not kept locked) and lay down i on the plank bench in "social hall." Now, this particular bench was con structed for sitting on and was not iritoorl a/\ f/> l?/\ ? I- " d I i. - ? ' Iiltvuucu IU DM USUU 1UI It UUU. It ID t quite natural, therefore, that vrhen a man of Swan's dimensions undertook * to convert it into a couch it should r have seemed rather narrow and just a trifle hard. -The plank is only . nine inches wide, and judging from this and Swan's corpulent proportions there certaiply must have been - more of him "hanging over the edges 3 than thero was on the bench. To i this evident discomfort he subjected 1 himself voluntarily and gratuitously, and for the terrible night-mares he 3 must have had ho has only himself to > thank. In the open hallway already allu1 ded to there is a clean and ample 9 tabic for the prisoners to have their t meals served on. Jailer Kelley even t 'our Word, Your Work, and Y THURSDAY S wont to unusual trouble, however, t and allowed Swan to go down-stairs and have his meals served in the room opposite the ollico. It was only u'linn mumnr u-iiu lirnmrlii t<\.? !. ?<> J ... ...... ...VILg,.. .?_?w Hill' that the jailer hud it sent up-stairs to the prisoner; anil ho Mated, in Swan's presence, to the person that ol carried them that if his supper ai were brought a little earlier it could he served down-stairs ns the other meals. 441 have been in this position thir- hi teen years,'' remarked the jailer, and t) this is the very first time in my re- || collection that any prisoner has made ^ a complaint. I have had all kinds 1 of men in here, and not one of them lias ever said a word against me til! m now." |tl lie then went on to say that the. |( only man who came to see Swan and was refused Admission was Pepper, 1 who came after hours. The invariahlri rules of the Jail arc that no ft one shall be allowed to enter after! 8:30 1\ M., and a lawyer who has been prominently identified with the Tillman ex movement in this ? city asserts that a few weeks ago | when was sent for by a prisoner and " went after hours he was refused ad* P mission. The rules arc that visitors j tl shall be allowed to see prisoners on Tuesdays and Fridays between tlio ^ hours of 10 A. M. and 2 I'. M. Pep- ^ per came after the hour for closing jC( the Jail and was therefore not ad '' twitted. S1 Two young men went to the Jail H at 9.50 o'clock P. M. and said that, n they wore "ordered there by the 11 chief," to which Jailer Kelly replied c that "the chief" had no authority to give "orders there," fi It is customary when any men o takes bedding or anything olse.iking ( prisoner for the jailer to inspew man! articles in the presence of th it's not oner (down-stairs) and theiy Krans; them over if thov arc all right guess. One of the three men whs strange, together was young llamiltoi .Jailer Kelly knows. The ot^ compoti were strangers. They were olurship to come back the next day, a' ',0 held < enough the next morning t October, come back and went all o'"1 #220 Jail, and had a half lioii'1* years, with Swan in the lobby dowi'tiuity foi These visitors diil not seem rfin a good been much put out by the ement of the regular rules 'to Jail, and went away in a goo>. mor. Y H Those ltooli Changes. c A gentleman, perhaps as well posted on the school book question 1 as any man in the State, writes The ii tStntc, expressing amazement that a the statement should be made that tl the changes were but few in the list ' c adopted hv the State board a few a days ago. This statement was based g on what was said by the momuers of n the State board after the meeting. < In his eommunieation the gentleman j> sa^s: li "I can assure you that the most radical changes have been made, and that too, in the hooks that will be mostly used by the masses. For c instance: $w in ton's Word Primers ri and Swinton's Word Spellers, books f that are used in every common t< school in the State. Tnousands upon <) thousands are now in the hands of tho poor children of the State to be n useu during tho coining fall, and a now without any reason these books g are thrown ontirely out and another substituted. Now, the one put in s may be a good book, but why compel c thousands of children to buy new t books when they already have good Jo ones? !i "Again, take the grammars. Rood ji & Kellogg's are now used entirely in t twenty-seven counties, and partially n so in the other counties, Now, our li school hoard says that all tho chil- t dren in the twenty-seven counties n must throw away or exchange ltoed & Kellogg for another, for what s reason the hoard alone can tell, and, a if 1 am not mistaken, they will be 8 made to answer to the people for t putting them to such an expense, f especially at this time, when money ie 30 scarce. g "Among other changes, 1 will a mention readers, arithmetics, copy t books and histories. Of course, you (J understand that the primary books c are the ones mainly used in State . free schools, and those are the ones lj that tho board has changed. t "The State Superintendent was, I i am glad to say, opposed to the i wholesale changes, but, unfortun- o l.~.1 i-..l ? ?4- ! nwijr, no IJ?U UII1/ UIIO VULO. Ill 111^ | l humble opinion the first mistake was j made by the Governor in appointing college professors in the majority of the board.

I Certainly no man hna risen to,( prominence in South Carolina fiinoo | tho war, who hat? hoou the <' (>< 1 '' | more discu^ion anil ultorcatU 'i than | lias her prt'sunt (lovernor. VVhilo many analyses of his oon?| duct and character :tre hcing repeat- | i?illy muilo, we hav > s a i<->1 ntitv- , ly satisfactory; and this solutionis,, therefore offered in the hope that it j may approximate very nearly the truth, rt is given in all sincerity, without fear or favor, endeavoring to be just and impartial. There is no need of repeating his record; that is too well km wn; it. migut almost be saul Mi it h: career, for the last three years, has been the political history of South Carolina. Hut only through his actions can his character bo read; and so this attaly sis is based solely upon his actions and utterances as they arc known to the public. It is often asked, when did thoi (lovernor first form I ho idea of prosecuting his purposes; under what circumstances did he first determine to undertake his extraordinary career. Some think that his action- have j1 been the result of a ear< fully laid plan, definitely outlined at some particular time, and pursued with Roman sternness; others believe that 1 lie has boon another < incinnatits,! called to lend bis oppressed countrymen. Ret ween these opposite opinions, many others exist; hut the golden mean is v<?rv nrot, 1,1 ^ 11...1 J 1 7 I>is career has been an evolution, tluit lie started out to make some I criticisms in good faith, and discoving the wonderful manner in which they were received, came the first dawn of the thought, of possible personal preferment. As soon as this' idea began to clearly develop, he! made it his all-absorbing end, and pressed into service every effort towards its accomplishment. Thus the figure of speech illustra ting his history is not that of the man borne on the tidal wave of popular upheaval utterly without his own effort, nor yet of the racer' harnessed to the chariot carrying a!! by himself; but rather that of the engineer, directing and controlling; forces not of his own creation. What then of the Governor's character?that public enigma, which lias pu/.zled so many thousands? Governor Tillman's intellect is peculiar. Let it hi/ remembered i that while he litis read widely ur.d Studied IIUIIIV thill eft nnrofnlU* K?> - J - n J , ..w had not a regular education?something not at all to his discredit, howlever, hut that fact explains some of i his mental peculiarities. He possess es a <piick perception of what ought to ho done in an emergency; he has a wonderfully acute judgment as to what is the best course to follow to accomplish his own ends; his memory is said to he very tenacious; his ability to express himself forcible and concise; his insight into the I character of rr.en, friends and foes alike, most striking. lint ho lacks craetive or constructive power. He is rather dost motive and combativeNot a single ono of his pet measures has been his own production. Agricultural education was advocated by ( IftViiriinWl A 11 at mi niwl I lamnmiwl before tho war and was warmly supported before the war and was ; warmly supported before Captain 'Tillman was ever beard of. (Memson 1 College itself is more the creation of Colonel Simpson and Mr. Clcmson than if is of the Governor. 1'hc | Dispensary system was discovered by Editor Cantt and framed by Hepre sentativo Evans. The just assess1 ment of taxation was urged by previous Uovornors, as well as was tho public economy, so striking a feature t of his administration. The Governor's capacity is oxocutivo, not originative. 1 >111. his executive powers are great. Ho has an iron will, an untiring amount of preserverance, a cool head under trying circumstun cos, and the most amazing st-tf confidence. This very executive ability often causes some of his gravest blunders, for hi-> will attempts to do I what his intellect ought to tell hill) should not be done. The puzzle in the Governors' make up is chiellv his moral diameter. | Some say it is vorv bad, some say it n v ho ^forahant'j ~ TB <\ ^V NO. l<>, is very good an ! some thrtt it is I ke that of tho innjorifcy of men. l>ut tho truth very probably is thut tho j vertior, liko many oth.-r men in the history of the world, is dominated by ambition; am! that around that pivot turns liis all. .Some ot tho world's greatest and best men Iiavo )oen supremely ambition.-, but the character of the ambition bus determined' their estimation in the mi nil of posterity. Our Governor's is not the greatest and highest am bition; no one can claim that bo Iivc3 to do good; 110, self masters him; and that alono prevents his personality from being unusually forceful; "Cromwell, 1 charge then, llmg away ambition, 'hat sin fell the angels." Men have special missions. Special functions are performed by certain individuals selected for their accomplishment. Tins Washing ton was to found ami free this country; Lincoln to preserve its entirety; Calhoun to formulate tho doctrines of tho Old South; Leo to embody tho chivalry of Southern character; L aar s was to consolidate; lionapur to to destroy Feudalism. Now what is Tillman's mission in /South Carolina? Is this extraordinary man -this astoirshiug personality -this suddenly made statesman?to do nothing? Is all this tempest to no end? By no means. For South Carolina was rather stagnant, rather slumberous, rather given to lazy easo and comfort. Tillman has waked her up, he has aroused. Tho energy of his vindictive character has reacted upon lior, and sho has been stirred to her depths. IIo has boon the promoter of the idea of the right of certain classos to political and educational recognition. These two functions then aro his chief ones; they will remain wlnn all lus works, his very memory, have passed into oblivion. All this being true, tho pertinent inquiry is what is to become of the great executive force. In this instance he may not yet have reached his zenith; he may have yet greater triumphs in store, sooner or later, but the record, the solemn decree of history is that ho cannot pass from the stage of American politics in favor and in acclaim. No one however groat has over done so whose guiding star was an undue (' iur conquered tho world and fell; Bonaparte dictated to a conti nont and fell, < Hlier striking examples from history force themselves into our mind in fixing our bolief that even in this less war like-age, and in the these times when peace more or less prevails, tho lesser lights must, in making up the ever continuing history of mankind, follow in the unvarying train of those whoso work has mado our history tip to date.
