THE STATE AS BARKEEPER.
rhe New Order Inaugurated Last Saturday
-The Private Bars closed and the
State in the Busiuess.
Last Friday the board of control and
tbe county dispenser were all busy
opening up their liquor and making
ready for business on Saturday.
The barrooms had about closed out
all their liquor and it would have been
almost impossible to secure a gallon of
good rye liquor from any of the bars.
They had managed to run their stock
down very low.
Everything had been made in readi
ness for the new order of things and
Saturday, but for the State Dispensary,
there would have been no liquor on
sale in Newberry, and if the board had
taken the trouble to have had a correct
list of the freehold voters we would
have had prohibition pure and simple,
But that seems to be foreign to the idea
of the dispensary and prohibition ad
vocates of the new idea.
At the dispensary we understand
that an even hundred applications
were filed, while the dispenser refused
to sell some few who made application

pensary for a few moments on Satur

The War Department- Declines to Detail
Capt. Garllngton for Service at
the College.
The following letter, recently re
ceived Irom the war department by the
Hon. WVm. H. Brawley, explains it
self:
W ASHINGToN, June 26, 1898.
Hon. William H. Brawly, House of
Representatives-My Dear Sir: I am
desired by the Secretary of War to say,
in reference to your request that Capt.
Garlington, 7th cavalry, be detailed as
military professor at the Clemson
Agr'eu1tural College, South Carolina,
thai. he regrets exceedingly his not
being able to comply with your re
quest.
The detail of Capt. Garlington for the
Clemson Agricultural College was also
very earnestly recommended to the
Secretary by Senator Irby, of South
Carolina. The Secretary felt constrained
to deny the request of Senator Irhy for
the following reasons, which are equal
ly applicable to the similar requests
of yourself and other gentlemen of the
State: The regulations regarding the
detail of army officers for colleges ex
pressly prohibit the detail of Captains
for that duty. These regulations were
adopted after careful consideration of
the subject. While it sometimes be
comes necessary to detach Captains
from their troops or companies, yet the
department does so only in cases of ex
treme necessity. The presence of a
Captain with his appropriate com'mand
is deemed by the department indis
pensible to the good condition of the
command.
These reasons compel the Secretary,
with much regret, to disapprove the
aPlcto~ Very respectfully,
R. WILLIAMS.
Adjutant-General.

Highest of all in Leavening P
A BIG COURT.
Judge Evans Holds Court in the Court
house-Fourteen Citizens Before His
Honor for Trespass-No Case
Against The,n and They Are
Declared "Not C unIlty."
Trial Justice H. H. Evanq held a big
court in the courthowe last Friday.
The courthouse was filled with curious
and interested spectators and Judge
Evans occupied the judge's stand while
Constable Baxter acted as higf sheriff,
The caius bel/i was a warrant which
had been sworn out by Mr. R. K.
Reeder against fourteen of our most
law-abiding citizens, charging them
with "unlawfully, wilfully and mali
ciously" committing a trespass upon
bis lands, or lands in his charge. The
gentlemen charged with this offense
were:
Jas. K. Gilder, G. M. B. Epting, A.
J. S. Langford, Nat Gist. J. G. Gog
gans, C. W. Bishop, L. W. Floyd, C.
J. Purcell, W. W. Riser, W. A. Fant,
Thomas Neel, Partlow Neel, W. C.
Cromer, and L. E. Folk.
On the back of this warrant is en
dorsed the following: "For good and
sufficient reasons I hereby enter a not
pros as to Nat Gist. R. K. Reeder."
une 24, 1893.
There was also another warrant
cbarging three colored men with the
same offense. They were: Henry John
akin, Alex Gray, Jno. Eichelberger.
They were all joined and tried to
gether.
On the 23d June these gentlemen,
little expecting the consequences, de
termined to have a little fun and
pleasure seining for fish in Bush river.
It seems they went through the lands
in charge of Mr. Reeder,at the Abrams'
place, some five miles from Newberry.
The colored men were taken along to
do the cooking and attend other er
rands.
Mr. Reeder gave them no notice not
to enter the lands or to leave after
they had entered, but at once under
took the criminal prosecution. Mr.
Reeder conducted the prosecution him
self and the defendants were repre
sented by Gen. B Cromer, Esq.
The following jury was empaneled
to try the cause: S. J. McCaugbrin, J.
H. Wicker, J: B. Suber, W. Y. Miller,
W. B. Harrie and - J. 6. Walton. Mr.
Suber was made foreman.
The witnesses for the State were Mr.
Reeder, Mr. Abrams and two negroes.
The substance of their testimony was
that thede gentlemen went down there
and seined in Bush river, or rather a
party of gentlemen, some of whom they
knew. And that the bones of the fish
were seen on the banks of the river.
Mr. Reeder said himself that he did not
believe they would have gone there if
he had given them notice not to.
The defense put up nO testimony.
Mr. Cwomer gave the Court the law and
made a very excellent speech, the
judge charged the jury and they re
turned a verdict of not guilty.
Mr. Cromer, in beha.lf of his clients,
accepted notice from Mr. Reeder not to
do so any more. But that same after
noon, upon the invitation of Mr. Reed
er, a number of the same -gentlemen
went out with him and enjoyed anoth
er seining.
Capt. Neel, the oldest of the defend
ants, had never before been in court as
plaintiff or defendant.
But it is all over now.

BOME FOLK IN WASHINGTON.
Townuend Come. Rome to Look After the
State Bars-Dial's Disappointment.
WA~SmeTorn, June 29.-Attorney
General Townsend, of Columbia, left
Washington for home to-night. Mr.
Townsend said he wants to be in South
Carolina on Saturday to witness the
opening of the government liqunor dis
pensaries. He wsll return to Washing
ton in about a fortnight.
Mr. N. B. Dial, of Laurens, also left
to-night in company with Mr. Town
send. Mr. Dial has been lingering in
Washington with the idea that Presi
dent Cleveland might offer him some
thing better than the Zurich consul
ate. Tfo-day Dial had a long conference
with Assistant Secretary of State Quin
cy. "I have had a talk with the Presi
dent about your case," said Quincy,
"and we have come to the conclu
sion that we cannot offer you anything
better than the p lace which has been
tendered you. Were it not for factional
feuds in. your State something might
be done."
"As for that," replied Dial, "faction
need not cut any figure. I have been
endorsed by. both Senators and every
Congrsman from my State."
"Yes," replied Quincy, ".we appre
ciate your splendid recommendations,
but the fact of the matter is all desir
able places have been filled, and it is
improbable that any South Carolinian
will be given an appointment superior
to the Zurich consulate."
Mr. Dial then formally declhned the
position. He says he cannot aftord to
go to a foreign country and represent
the United States on such'limited sal
ary as is attached to the place which.
was tendered him. His application
was for the consulate to Havre, France,
and all his recommendations were for
that place. That office was filled early
in March, however, and ever since the
Laurens lawyer has been living in
hopes. He says to-night that he will
return to his home and practice his
profession.

J. W., a well-known character aboul

sketch for Dickens in the'days of Ohi
ver Twist-and who is also somethin
of a local wag and musicianer, steppec
up to the dispensary Saturday fcr hib
usual weekly supply of the dispense
and dispensing article. The esgernes
of his heart for the liquid that wouk
give solid comfort shone through hii
snapping eyes, and his mouth wa.
tered as he thought of how the bird,
would soothe him with their lullabyi
in the early dawn of the succeedinf
day as he would scratch his head and
reach out his arms for the accustome
little brown bottle of booze.
Said Dispenser Maybin: "I'm afraik
to let you have it, sir; for I believe yot
get drunk." R
"When did you ever hear of my get.
ting drunk?" asked thirsty.
"Don't you remember," answered
he dispensiarie, "that you used to go
ierenading about eight. or nine years
tgo? Well, you got tight then-and
rou might now."
Great Scot! Maybin. Must the sins

Can fishes hear? that is the question
liscussed in certain quarters since one
)f our townsmen tried to prove that a
ish had a heart. You know when
vou go a-fishing the other fellow is
7orever saying, "-'sh, don't talk, the
ash won't bite." That remark has
)e6n handed down from the time
Pharaoh's daughters fished in the bul
rushes and caught little Mose. But
low another townsman comes along
ind (notwithstanding that the dis
pensary has been established), knocks
his popular tradition into pi by boldly
Lsserig that fishes can't hear worth
i darn. We have been fondly taught
o believe from generation to genera
'ion that a fish could hear. Vanished
nto thin air another happy dream,
ind gone the golden illusion of the
)right heretofore. Oh! noble Roman,
what hast thou done? Thou hast dis
pelled the fancy of youth, and brought
o nought the cherished idea that one
3ould sit for hot hours on the unfailing
banks of the river Bush, amid the life
everlasting and the golden rod, and
bave the satisfaction of thinking that
he big fishes could hear him as
be raked Lnot inj the little minnows
ror nibbling off all his bait. But it's
ill gone.

A resolution was passed thanking the

who mistook the bottle for pizen and

thirty thousand a year. While the
