TROUBLE IN DARLINGTON.
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,

none deserve more of her gratitude

While a man of Judge Crisp’s abil

Judge Crisp is right. It would not

CRIME OVERTAKEN-
Torn longtime at (iravesend.N. Y., !
Sutherland Nesyton, Jameson and
others with MeKaue as manupulutor,
conspired to make such returns of
elections as suited their dishonest
plans. 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

and Jameson with the hula nee are
trembling before the power that live

A CORRECTION.
•
In last icatilf’s issue a mistake oe.
cured in Mr. L. ifaker’s article in re
gard to the Liquor Traffic, The writer
said that from a business standpoint
(instead of from a Christian stand
point) the preacher showed that the
Liquor Tr'afli" .was a total loss to our
country.

Judge Simonton.
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

A Horrible Result of Undue Interference
by a Thoughtless Man.
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

and

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 !
