W.BALL, Proprietor. LAUKENS, S. 0? Sept. 22, 1806. Our Liquor Traffic. After recent and notable revelations of crookedness in our (as a State) liquor traffic, dlsolosod after many days, the Board of Control of which Hon. Wille Jones, Banker, Is Chairman ordered an official Investigation. That inves tigation was held at Columbia, cover ing the working hours of last Wed nesday. Gov. Evans and his brother, B. B. Evans, Col. Mixon, the Commis sioner, Seoretary of State Tompkins, J. W. Mixon and W. T. Mixon, sons of the Commissioner, and Scruggs, (what a name) Secretary of the Board were called as witnesses or volunteered.? According to Soruggs, he traced re bates as having reached the pockets of the Mixon boys, $2,669.46. to W. T. Mixon and $690.00 to James. Ono of the Mixon "boys" got a diamond pin, which he Is wearing, and Col. Mixon a pitcher and two cups. Whether they were of silver or gold or suoh as the sweet Hebe or delloate Ganlmede handled In the days of nectar docs not appear. Ono striking foaturo of tho In vestigation was tho watohing oaoh Other like hawks on tho part of Gov. Evans and "his" Seoretary of State, Tompkins. Really, little was de veloped except as published by Gov. Evans In his little book of revelation on the eve of tho Primary Election. Enough however was brought out to leavo room for speculation as to much looseness and possibly great rascality in the oonduot of this moral branch of the State's business. Nobody will bo surprised. The system Is honey combed with rascality. The doors in viting to fraud aro as wide open as the blue vault of the hoavons. By tho way, Mixon hlmsolf is mado of heroic Stuff. According to hid own showing the agents of tho groat liquor houses tempted him with bribes day in and day out. Yet his vlrtuo was suoh as would shame a Cato. Tho Board of Control was represented by the Attor ney Goneral of the State. Col. Mixon had as his bottle holder and champion an acute and loarnod gentleman of tho Columbia Bar. Owing to tho groat dignity of the parties intorostod, tho proceedings wore marked by tho most delloate and gingerly manners of all concerned, the exquisite tenderness of a pink tea funotlon characterising the bearing of the lofty personages. Li Hung Chang's brusknoss has not af fected tho oily courtliness of our State house Columbia gontry. With tho sav ory developments Indicated as above tho high court called to LwvesViBata.*Jb.o ft?.t/ial purveyors of the dear delightful XXX Rosy adjourned without day. * ? * Tho Office Seeking the Man. Some half dozen or more eminent gentlemen aro named for Judge Earle's silken gown. It Is a blessed thing in deed that it is so oasy with us to fill offices?and then, you know wo have the offices, including tho Dispon aary. "Wo have the ships, wo havo the money, we have the men, and by Jingo, we'll fight," or something." ?** The News and Courier with its char acteristic enterprise published on Tuesday, tho 16th instant, its annual exhibit of tho Industrial condition of the city of Charleston for tho year ending August 31st. It makes a fine showing for tho old city with bright ening prospects for tho future, all of whioh every good Carolinian hopes to see realized. Against all odds, in tho teeth of obstruction and potty tyrany, by a distraced State administration the people of Charleston work, pros per, go forward and maintain tl 3 highest civilization. * * ? The Charleston Post startled tho v^State" newspaper, tho "State" nudgos Mr. Gantt the electoral nominee and Mr. Gantt explains. 'His sympathies wore aroused for the Populists. "I argued that it would be nothing but just and fair to glvo the Populists the Vice Presi dency in roturn for their suppoi t, if it could bo dono according to party usage." Thus the electoral nominee; concedes to party "what was moant for mankind." *?* Now that wo havo settled our own little family quarrel our roadors aro invited to turn their attontlon until the Od dt November to bigger game. At present we oan only direct their optics to Bryan and Sowell, and Tom Watson, MoKinley and Hobart, Pal mer and Buoknor. We hav'nt the list complete at hand, but will endeavor to supply the defloienoy at an early day. Senator Tillman has boon badly treated by the National Committee, in being assigned to the coal minors and MolIj/McGuiro regions of Wost /lvanla. They won't un its classics, nor what ho le stables of King Augoas, mness of Denmark and othor ? ? ting, Pa, Senator Tillman, to a large audience, de lounocd President Cleaveland, when ho was hooted by tho crowd and had to be taken down and carried to another stand a half mile away. Tho Buok Tails havo forgotten how to stand fire. The Columbia Evening News speak ing of the Davlo address says thero Is "nothing new or striking in it," whioh Is a verification of a remark attributed to Solomon some forty centuries be hind us. "Little Billy Ball" of the Charleston Post, and Mr. W. R. Davie, Jr., of Chester, had an experience at the In dlanapolls assistant Republican con vention that baa never happoned to any other South Carolinians* They wore the only Carolinians there, and they had tho great privilege of cast ing 18 votes, nine apiece for Palmer and Buokner. They must have thought 'how wo apples do swim.' It is a won der that the- farcial naturo of the wholo proceeding did not disgust them."?Anderson Podples Advocate' Now horo we havo a notablo exam ple of the ignorance characteristic of these times. Under the load of a neighbor of tho Advocate, one John C. Calboun, tho State held aloof from participating in the national nominat ing conventions, and refusing its votos to the regular nominees. In tho mean while one Gen. Commander of George town represented the State in the great party conventions and cast her vote, After a convenient season, and Oalhoun had been dead some years anothor neighbor of the Advocate, James L. Orr, "reversed" the Calhoun idea and aftor a stalwart fight, brought little rocalaitrant Carolina Into har monious action with tho domooratio organization. Here we havo history repeating itsolf in the line of conduct of this trio of Carolinians, who allogo that tho Chicago platform is In lino with tho Populism of tho sub-treasury fad so popular two years ago. History teaches somo good lessons if read aud considered. Tho "Advocato" must feel' coraplimcntod at the citation f illustrious Anderson authority. Strange Bedfellows.

Blondiert Tihts Caused a Riot In Spain Which Cost iftany T.lves. Has not socio ono calculated that a sixth part of the memoirs of St. Simon in tho origiual is ocoupiod with tho controversy whether or not tho presi dont of parliament should wear his hat or put it en tho desk when performing various functions? At lougth the mat ter was compromised. Tho Tiers-ctat should wear a chapeau rabattu, which had tho slouched brim pinned up. This childish qnarrel was romcmbored, no doubt, whon tho states general met aud the king harangued them. His speech wer, he put on his hot, aud tho noblesse did likewise, according to their privi lege. Tho comTTio'iV) had no suoh claim, but they also clapped on thei* cbapean* rabattns, amid fierce protests from the nobles. Tho revolution might havo he gun that day with a scrimmage iu the king's presence had ho not removed his own hat, when all, of course, did the same. Bnt slouched hats had already caused a riot hi Spain, which lasted so long and cost so many lives that it might al most bo termed a civil war. This was 30 years earlier. Charles III thought them untidy. Ho thought tho streets of his enpifal untidy also and denounced both eyesores in an odiot. Every Spaniard henceforth must pin up his flopping brim, and every householder of Madrid must, clean t-he street opposite his prem ise*. Forthwith the people rose. Thoy wcro little interested, comparatively, in the streot cleaning, but thoy would die for f heir hats. And a good many of them did, but not unnvonged. More than a week the fray lasted, but it was thought remarkable by foreign observers that at 53 p. m. regularly tho soldiers plied, arms, tho furious Citizens withdrew and silonoo reigned for ono hour. Both parties wero enjoying the siesta, oxcept, perhaps, tho wounded. After that inter val they recommenced. Tho king fled, and for tho rest of h'is lifo ho never re turned to Madrid willingly. In fact, it was understood ho designed to make Se ville the capital henceforth, and only gave np the project when his ministers showed him what a vast sum ho had already spent on tbo now pulaca So, mighty may be tho influence of the hat in state affairs I Finally tho king com promised. He> withdrew his cdiot so far as tho realm at large was concerned. Within the walls of Madrid every man must wear his brim pinned up, but out sido ho was at liberty to lot it slouch.

Mans field's age was 59, but hit* long, flowing board of snowy white mado him conspic uous as a leader. Tho eld hero was idiot down early in tho fighting of his corps, which ho was leading for tho first time in battle. The circumstance of his doatii was one of those trivial ones which make certain phases of war seem oruolly murderous. There had boon some hard fighting on tho lino whore Mansfield brought np his Twelfth corps to support the attack of Booker's corps. Tho po sitions of*the friendly troops nlready in aetion could not bo determined at a glance, and so many leaders had fallen that there was uouo at hand to point out the nit nation on that part of tho field. The advance troops of the Twelfth began firing across tho field, and their loader, supposing that thoy wero shoot ing down their friends of another com mand, beckoned thorn to cease firing. The men, however, were certain that they were makiug targets of tho enemy, and not understanding tho general's sig nals continued to shoot. Mansfield thou rode througli tho front lino and passed along revei a I companies of the Tent h Maina When ho ordorod tho mon to ceaso firing, somo of tho officers told him that tho troops who wero suffering woro graycoats and that somo of thorn wero at that moment training their rifles up on him. Tho gonoral turned to rido buck and was hit with a mortal wound boforo ho had repas8cd tho line. Snmuer was 08 years old at tho bat tlo of Ant i et am. He had .always beou a vigorous fighter aud his mcu called him "Old Bull" Snmuer. When Hookor left tho field, disabled, Sumuor took com mand of tho right wiug. With all his noted propousity for lighting ho was up - p aj led at tho carnage in evidenco all arouud him that day on tho right flank. Learning that tho hat tie was to bo re newed late in tho afternoon by n charge of Franklin's rosorvo troops ho protested aud pointed to tho wrecks of his brigades aud divisions, as well as to tho prostrate rouks, to omphasizo his words. Ho feared that Fraukliu's attack, if successful, could not bo sustained, aud it was sus pended. It was this failure to put in Frank lin's men which drew criticism upon McClellan. But Simmer's protest was vory vigorous. Ho commanded tho right wiug and was ono of tho generals whom Lincoln bad appointed us au advise* for the youug oommauder. Greene led his division through somo of the hardest fighting of tho field. It was engaged ftvo hours steadily, and rit times his men and tho Confederates op posing them eng'aged in fierce musketry duels at fifty paces. Tho hero was then 61 -yours old aud is still living, tho old est Wost Poiut survivor who woro tho blue. STORMING BURN- ?uly ono l?Oidont of tho field of All SIDES BRIDGE tiotam seems to havo caught the imagination of tho painter. That Ono is tho ohorgo across Antietam srono bridgo by two of Burnsido's regi ments. Tho theme is worthy an artist's brush. Two attempts to carry the bridge failed and tho third effort was glori ously successful, nil tho more glorious because tho chargo seemed to bo a for lorn hope. Crook's brigado made the first attack upou tho bridge,.supported right and loft by strong columns. Crook's men approached tho bridge, tho enemy occu pying a height . ncro*?.*b~-fclro.'flu, m thoy halted und attempted to silonco its defenders at long range. Naglo's brigado then made a rush for tho harrier, pre ceded by a cloud of skirmishers, with Fedora 1 batteries covering tho attack by a vigorous ennuouading of tho enemy's line. This also failod. Burnsido then ordered tho commander of tho division comprising thoso brigades to carry tho bridgo at all hazards. Colonel R. B. Potter's rogimont, tho Fifty-first New York, aud tho Fifty-first Pennsylvania, under Colonel J. F. Ilurtruuft, wero chosen for tho work and wero told to rely solely upon tho bayonet for oxoou tiou. Tho regiments formed ou each sido of tho road so as to move independently while orossing and after they readied tho op posite bank. A heavy skirmish tug f i r o was opened aoross tho stream by Burn ?sido's troops who had gained tho if 4& bank under cover G)-"^ ??' " ? of trees and general tottbb. rocks. At tho same timo n howitzer, planted on n knoll whero it could aim over tho heads of tho assailants nutil thoy passed tho high, arched center of the struct uro, poured n Uro of canister Upon tho farther end of tho bridgo to provont any obstruction by tho enemy at that point. TllO Confederate posit ion was considerably above the level of tho bridgo and of tho road, whioh, after crossing niad? a gontlo asoeut of tho abrupt blnff lining tho stream. For a distance of BOO or 400 ynrds abovo and below, tho bluff was occupied by tho in fantry of Toombs' brigado of Georgians and several pieces of artillory. Success for the two dovotod regiments seemed impossible, especially after two brigndqs had failed mid three hours of almost steady firing had not shaken Toombs' lino of defense. But tho spirit of au at tack is everything in a orisis like that on tho Antietam. Taking n route leas oxposcd at first than tho ono followed by their predecessors tho Now Yorkers and Fennsylvoninns rushed at doublo quick over the intervening slope aud across the bridgo itself 'with a sudden ness and reoklessnosfl that nstoundod' tho onomy and loft him powerless to resist. On, on along the cuusowny und up the slopo the bravo follows dashed, driving Toombs' men from tho height before the cheering of tho mon they hud left be hind over the passage of tho bridgo had died away.

IF HAND ?llMiSlE IMITATING THE Tho oareer of tho WKWniAQ which the gallant Cashing destroyed Oct. 3?, 1804, beginning with her deadly soa fights with Federal blockading vessels and ending with her collapso at the wharfs of Plymouth, formed a roost oxoitiug episode in naval warfaro. Tho rulo of tho North Carolina souudB by tho Fo/lerals was by no means to tho liking of tho Confederates, aud many dosperaro attompts wero mado tooud it. Orders wore givou for tho construction of war vossols in tho upper waters of tho state, but tho work wcut on slowly, and as Iftto as April, 1804, the ram Albomarlo, a thing of shreds and patches, lay on tho ways in Roauoko rivor abovo Plym outh. Ou tho 10th of April Goneral Hoko began an attack on tbo fortified post of Plymouth and summoned tho ram to his oido. Sho steamed down tho rivor, dofyiug tho shots of tho Federal guus until two of tho enemy's ships wero sighted. Thoy wero tho woodeu boats Miami and Southfiold, lashed to gether aud directed by Floot Command er C. W. Flusser, who was on board tho Miami, Flusser hud arrnnged tho fastening chains so that t he ram would bo caught between tho two vessels, but tho cnptaln of the Albemarlo sheer ed to avoid the trap. Suddenly turning, ho plunged tho iron prow of tho rum into the side ofs the Southfiold,! ripping her sidos-i so that sho went} to .the bottom at ouce. Tho Miami o p e n e d with lieutenant flusser. heavy shot aud sholl, but thoy mado no impression ou tho ram. Commander Flusser handled one guu personally, and his third shot, an 11 inch sholl, re bounded from the iron shield of tho Al bemarlo, exploded and killed tho bravo ?gunner, also several men. Meanwhile the rum got looso from tho Southfiold and was making for the Miami. The lattor backed away aud returned to Al bemarlo sound. As a result of tho Albomarlo's victory over tho woodeu ships, General Hoke mado an easy conquest of Plymouth, capturing Goneral Wessels and his gar rison. The ram nt once became u sea monster, equal in tho eyes of friends and foes to the terriblo Merrimao. Sho lay off Plymouth until May 6, thou started out to imitato tho Morrimao and wipoont tho F?deral fleet patrolling Al bemarle souud. Tho coming of tho rom was expected by Commander Molnnotou Smith, and ho had devised a clover plau for her reeeptiou. Tho contending, ships met in tho broad sound, tho rnm dash ing boldly at hor enemies, but missing the mark every time. Her shot, how ever, made havoc With tho uppor works of tho woodeu ships, while tho return fire rollod off hor iron sides like hail. Finally tho Sassoous, loaping undor tho Impulse Of loosened engine wheels, struck tho ram amidships and sent her stern deok sovornl foot under water. Tho moment tllO vessels collided the rum sent a shot through tho Sussucus, pierc ing her boilers. One by one the remaining ships in the Hue?tho Miami, Wynlnsing and Mat taoesett?got into notion aud at tempted to rido dowu the Albemarlo or snare her with a seine or uro a spar torpedo against her. All failed, and tho bat tle of three hours was principally ono of artillery, 60 guns on tho Federal vos sols against ono on tho ram. In the end tbo ram was glad to escape THE MONSTER After tho drawn HELD IN BOUNDS. b.a.ktle witb ships on the nth of May tho Albemurlo rotirod slowly Hp tho Roanoke, her foes giving tho part ing shots. Throo weeks later sho drop Eed down to tho mouth of tho river and egan dragging (or torpedoes. A few shots from tho Federal guardboats sent hor baok to Plymouth, whoro she re mained to protect tho town whioh sho had won to tho Confederates by hor first engagement. Spurred by offors of re ward, a party ot sailor yolunteors set ppt to dostroy her at hor moorings by torpedoes, Thoy reached the river above Plymouth, With two floating machines carrying 100 pounds of powder each. Tho mon ongagod in this hazardous work were Oharlbs Baldwin, John W. Lloyd, Benjamin Lloyd, John Laverty and Alien Crawford. Baldwin was nearest the ram, and when ho had guid ed tho torpedoes by means of a bridle to within a few yards of the vessel, he Was ohallonged by a sentry on shore. Two shots followed tho sentry's sig nal and then a volley. Pol loving that thoy wero discovered, throo of tho men doser ted after cutting tho guido rope. They reached their ship in the r.ound two days lator, and their comrades re> ported next day without having accom plished tho mission. For fire months the Albemarlo lay idle at Plymouth, wherp dishing found her moored on the 97th of October and destroyed her by a deed unparalleled4n way. An account, of the .exploit was Written out by Cashing be fore ho was taken with his fatal illness iu 1879. The best story from the other side was found in an iutoroeptod letter from a sailor ou tho ram.
