Darlington has just passed through a trying ordeal, so has Columbia, and so have many other sections of our State. Constables sent to enforce the state’s traffic in spirituous liquors have made their work odious in Char leston and elsewhere. It remained for Darlington to receive their united visits and for her citizens to protest, even to taking up arms, against the invasion of their homes. Jilood lias been shed, lives lost, mortial law pro claimed, Darlington and Florence de clared in a state of insurrection, troops onlered out to preserve the peace and the entire State thrown into tumrol on account of the Dispensary Lire. Without the consent, and contrary to the wishes of many communities, the Dispensary is forced upon unof fending town, and in its train follow tlie evils that liquor always brings, yet it is the law and law must he up held even though lives are lost, hit. ter enmity engendered and brother rises against brother.

While a man of Judge Crisp’s abil ity ns a leader is just now needed in the Senate, exactly sm-u a man is wanted in tin* Speaker's chair, c»d not another can he found in the Dem ocratic ranks. Reed, the Republican leader of the minority branch of the House is ever ot> theujert. and never looses an opportunity w hen bH party might he benefit ted through luck of Tigilanee on the part of the SjM*aker. Judge Crisp is right. It would not do to leave the Speaker's chair now. Hoy.

So strongly intrenched did) they feel themselves that it was com- | inon for the lender to boast of his power to defy and over-ride the Law. How is it now? McKunc is In Sing Sing, Sutherland a fugitive from justice. Newton lias Mill believe tluit in view of' ihc weli jbt*eneonvieted and is under sentence, and Jameson with the hula nee are trembling before the power that live months previously they openly defied. XYlial makes the difference? The law is the same. The .differ ence lies in n changed public senti ment and in changed officers to exe cute the law. .

Judge Simonton’sdecision probably settles the railroad tax cases. As we understand this decision, it admits that there is a much higher rate of assessment on railroad property Mimii on real estate, hni docs not find in this difference any such purpose to discriminate between the two classes of property as to eull for the interven tion of the court, tin* fault being not that the railroad assessments are too high, hut that ti e real estate assess ments are too low. We have held and recognized fact that the property of individuals is assessed at far less than its actual value, fair play would forbid the raising of the assessments on cor porate property to uhigher level. Rut these considerations it apears, do not obtain in umttpor'of law, and the rui - roads will have to pay an undue pro portion of taxes until tin* common sense and fairness of the people shall dictate the observance af the consti tutional mandate for the esscssificnt of all property at its line valae^-t’o luirthia State. ? -* • — Cure for Headache.

A Darlington special to the Colum bia Htnte under date of March 30, gives the following account of the trouble there last Friday: Everything had passed off during the day quietly. Chief Constable (lail- lurd informed Mayor Dargan during the morning that he had one more search warrant. The mayor instruc ted the chief of police to attend him. Tlie chief constable and one of his constables, attended by the chief of police and the sheriff, made the raid quietly and without the knowledge of the citizens generally. Everything A as quiet up to 3 o’clock. At this hour the constables, with the excep tion of Chief Oaillard and Swann, so I am informed, went to the Cheraw and Darlington depot to take the outgoing freight train for Florence, and (laillard and Swann went to the Charleston, Sumter and Northern depot to take the 1 o’clock train. Young Rogers, a clerk at the Enter prise Hotel, went down to the Che- raw and Darlington depot on the ’bus. At the depot he met Rilly Floyd, who, after some words, made an attack upon Rogers. This light ended, Rogers got in the ‘inis and started down town, but got out of tite’bus. and went bark to the depot. The chief of police heard of this fight and went to the depot. Rogers there asked Floyd to givq him a fair tight . The chief of police interfered. About this time Normciit, Redmond, C. S. McCullough and L. E. William son. rode up on bicycles, two of them on business. The other out of idle curiosity. . Constable McLendon interfered in the ’loyd-Kogers controversy. Nor- ment was sitting on a barrel. Red mond also interfered at t ids point. Tlie chief of police was trying to keep the men apart. Some words passed be tween Redmond and McLendon and Normciit. McLendon drew his pistol, put his arm over Rogers, and shot Redmond. He then shot F. E. Nor- ment and was shot himself. The other constables then turned loose a perfect fussiladc with Winchester ritles. McCullough and others fired -with their pistols. Constable Rejfper was killed, I icing shot through the heart. McLendon was shot through t lie abdominal cavity. One other con st a hie was shot in the leg. another had Ills nose shot off. F. E. Nornient was instantly killed, being shot through the mouth. The chief of police was shot through tin* body. K. i). Lucas was shot through both sides with live bullets* Redmond was sfioi through the neck. L. W. Nornient was shot in »i»e ijrm and side; a bullet stopped by his pocket hook would have killed him. The const able put out on a run and as soon as f Jh* news of th.e fight was received a hundred men wont as hard as they could for the depot. When they got there no constables were in sight. Rarties were immediately organized for pursuit, and are now in hot chasm The nutyor and sheriff immeditely called on Caps. Thompson and he went with liis company at the double quick for t he depot. They placed a guard over McLendon, who was in a dying condition, tind have placed a guard over him at the jail. There are no constables to he heard of. The men who are after them keep their own counsel, bul when they meet there wj;i baa light to Hu* finish and no quarter asked or giyen. On Saturday the governor pro claimed Darlington und.er martial I law and ordered out the militia, The result was some of* the troops re sponded, while others disbanded. On Sunday (ien. Farley went to the seem. o» a<.t]on, and, finding every-j civil engineering lecture-room Vandibilt University. At the close of the late civil war the South was almost wholly desti tute of higher institutions of learn ing, and owing to that fact a meeting was convened at Memphis, Tenn, in 1871, for Hie purpose of planning the erection of a college, of which the South in a few years might rightly lxmst. Among the members of that committee were Bishop MeTycire, Dr. L. C. Garland and others who contracted that the work should n<>t begin until s.yXh'C'O had been sub scribed. It seemed, however, that they must give (bis up, for that time at least, on account of great ‘‘financial strin. gency;” but, in March. 1873, Corne lius Vanderbilt made n donation of $04 KM KM), which was subsequently increased until the entire donation amounted to one million dollars. The corner stone of the main build- *ing of Vanderbilt University was laid April 28, 1871. Since tiuit time by a special dona tion of $R’0,000, made hy William H. Yaudeihilt, son of the founder, in August, 1879, has been added to the the campus Wesley Wall, the gym nasium and its outfit, .Science Hall, and a complete eqniqment of appara tus for instruction in engineering. In July 1883, Mr. William IL-Vander bilt added $100,<KK), and in his w ill he bequeathed $'2(Kt,Mtl», which sumes make the permanent cndownincnts of tin* University $JKHM>90. In.luly. 1888, Cornelius Vanderbilt, grandson of the founder, made a do nation 0/ $3i'jK!0 for the erection of a Mechanical Engineering Hall and for the enlargement of the University Library. “Should the stranger, passing through the front gate, wind Ids way through the labyrinth of walksand drives, he might notice every variety of trees known to the climate, and tin* velvety appearenee of the large athletic field. lie would lx* attrueted hy a number of eoiiiimxlious stone- trim-.**! buildings, containing chapels, libraries, museum, laboratories, mec hanical works and gymnasium ; and who;) told that the three other depart- ment-i—Law. Dental and Mc.!ie;il, oc cupy two large buildings in the city, he must inevitably conclude that this institution destined <0 exert a wide spread influence upon the upreariiig generations of manly and cultured men.” TJie University Hall is of brick with grey stone trimmings, four stor ies in height, Lm w'deh arc lecture and recitation rooms, professors’ studies, laboratories, society halls, chapel, tlie Interiorof which is of Gothic arehicture, library and read ing rooms. The library contains over lo,Ofi!) volumes of standard and mis- celjuneons }vorks and with the library is ('onnecjad (he reading room, provi ded with the Issues of the current press and with the leading maga zines and reviews of America and Europe—literary, scientific and tl»eo- logical. .Science Had! is 11 magnificent strue- 1 ture containing inbocajpries of the engineering dcpgrinjgnl and also of the school of mining engineering, and The Young People’s Boreao. been laid out, at a cost of $5,000, and committed to the care of the Athletic Association. Besides the above mentioned build ings there are nine professors’ resi dences which amply comply with the requirements of convenience and task; also an equal number of dw ellings for thejanitor,superintendent of grounds, ana other employers of the univer sity. Let me also not torgefc to mention the seven buildings, containing fifty- six rooms, situated on the west side of the campus, w hich form the so called “West Hide. Row. These are occupied by literary and engineering students. The course of instruction has ab ready established for the University a wide spread reputation, and on that account little need be said of it and tbe.faculty. For nearly twenty years Dr. L. C. Garland tilled the chancellor's cliair, but on account of okl age his resigna tion was accepted June 1893, Dr. James II. Kindland, being elected to succeed him. This, in brief, is a view of the in stitution of which thcHouth may well boast. Long live Vanderbilt Univer sity ! * Etta Jane Notes.
