C [Special to News and Courier.) Columbia, August 15.-Govorno McSweeney today sent the following circular letter to all Mayors and In tondants of cities and towns in the State: Columbia, S. C., Aug. 15, 18909. Dear Sir: As the head of your 1 municipal government I take it that you are interested in the mainton ance of law and order. I feel that I can, and that I have a right, as Gov eruor of the State, to call upon you in any effort that is made for the public weal and the proper enforce mont of law. It is contrary to the ordinance of your municipality, b cause it is forbidden by the Consti s tution of the State, that any liquor should be sold other than as pro. x ided by the dispensary law. If you have 1 dispensary you sharo in v the profits from the sale of iquors through the dispensary. In view of this fact, if not on the higher ground tt that to sell whiskey in any other way is a violation of law, I feel that you should, through your police force, put down the illicit sale of whiskey in your city or town. I desire to know if I can depend on you to see that the dispensary law is enforced and violt tors of it are arrested and brought before the proper legal trib- 1 unral.; for trial. I ask your aid it. this matter and would bo glad to have your views ot thle subject. I desiro to furtheir reduce the con stabulary force, and, if possible. to remove them from the cities and towns, oxcopt it may b) to aid the local police in working up special cases. If, in your judgment, your local force is unable to stop the il licit sale of whiskey in your town, I would be glad to havo you say so frankly. In that event I will then know how to proceed. I desire to have the dispensary law enforced and shall spare no means within my power to see that it is. I hope to have it done with as little t friction as possible and by the ordi nary legal machinery of the State. Ini case that cannot be (lone, then I shall use the constabulary force with I all the power given by the lawv. Our bunsiness is to see that the lawv is en forced If any city or towvn is un able to enforce the law and to stop violations of it, uind State consta ye to be sent there, I shall nd to the Stato Board of that the expenses of these es be paid out of the city's in's share of the profits, If AS no dispensary in your- town ilit4pensary law must 1)0 enforced ~y wvay, and violators of it brought I to justice, anrd provision will be madle to have it clone if your local authori ties are unable to (10 so. I am sat isfied that with the proper effort on the part of the cities and towns of this State, wvith their local police, the dispensary law can be better en forced, andl with loss friction than by State constables. The only question is will the city and town councils give that aid which is necessary. That is the information I ant now seeking through you as the head of your municipal government. Your early attention to this matter is do iired. I NI. 13. MISWEEsNEY, Governor. Ladic tO nn WVear Ssoca One sizo smaller aifter using Allon's Eoot-Easo, a powdor to be shaken into the shoes.

The Darlington Tragedy-Two 1)oetori Ulve Testiimnny iefore the Coroner'm Jury. (Special to The State.) Darlington, Aug. 14.-The coro 3 nor's inquest in the cas0 of the death of little Roberta Lide, tho twelvo year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Lide, faith curists, recon vened today. Only t wo witnesses wore examined, Dr. A. T. Baird, chiarman of the city board of health, and Dr. Rtobt. L. Edwards who vis ited the child once or twico just bo fore it (ied. The coroner made a lengthy charge to the jury before the taking of tes timony was begun, giving the mem bers a very clear conception of the law in such matters and lucidly explaining to them their jurisdic tion. Dr. A. T. Baird, the first witness called, said he was chairman of the I city board of health. This case was brought to the mayor's attention by rhe neighbors of Mr. Lido and the mayor instructed him to inquire into it. I went to the Lide home, stated my business, and was allowed to en I ter the room where the sick child lay. The symptoms were so patent; the child was ill with typhoid fever and it was fully developed. "I told her the nature and the gravity or the case and implored her to have the child given medical aitention. She refused, saying no treatment was necessary; that Jesus was in her heart and Jesus was in the child's heart and that it could not die. I insisted upon medical attention, but she positively and flatly refused. She said that she had not given the child any medicine and did not in I tend to." He reported the facts to the may or, who instructed him to notify Mrs. Lide that it a physician was not sumimnded by the next day the town authorities would take the case in charge. Mr. Lido said he would see his wife, but he approved of her course. "When I saw the child I thought that all the physicians in the I United States could not save it-it was too late." Dr. Robt. L. Edwards testified in substance that Mr. Lido told him ho had a case of typhoid fever at his home and wanted him to see it. I e Iwent and found the -little girl in the third wveek of a severe case. "M rs. ILida said that she did not care for mue to treat the case. She had quit giving medicine since 189J3; that she relied on the Lord and prayer to r-o move afliction. I asked to examine I the child and suggested that maybe I could1 mention somnethin~g that Scould be done for the benefit of thle child and be in accordance with her views. After an examination I sug gested tht~ frequent baths lbe given the child and that only liqu1idl diet be given; that if the child could di gest milk, give it to her diuted with limo water. Mrs. Lide said nothing. I went awvayan returned the next day. WVhilo I was thore the child wvas given some milk and I asked if it was diluted with lime water. Mrs. - Lide '.aid no, that the child hiad not I required lime water when it was a 1. baby and it dlidl not nood( it now. - The only one of my sug(gestionis they L acted upo w~~as to ke op the clhil quiet. They did thna! The clui I - had absolutely no modmial attention - whiatever. I didl not go to the house - the next (day, b)ut saw Mr. Lido~ in a the afternoon antd lie told me thle child wvas better. TIhe next (lay I I heard the child was dead." After Dr. Edwards had finished i' his testimony, the coroner adjourned the inquest till Tuesday afternoon at 5 5 o'clock when other witnesses will be examined. CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

[Tho State, 16th.] (1reenwoed, Augm-t 15.-A por tion of this county between Gree n wood and Phunix has for more than a week past beon terrorized by at gang of so-called wiitecaps engaged in whipping negroes. 'lhe whito caps began Monday night. a week ago and entered the houses of soveral negroes who were ttk-n out and whipped. Since then this l)erform anco has been severll timles repeated and the negroes are badly frightened. The object of the whitecaps is to drive off -negro tenants in ordor to secure control at low prices of valu able farm lands in that sect.ion, amuclh of which is rented to negroes by the whito landlords. There is no poitical foundation for the trouble, and the effenders are said to belong to a low class of whites. The i.egroes hlve taken to the woods and swaimps at night to avoid the visitation of tho gang and many of the colored people have como to Greenwood, some of themn bringing all their possessions1 and re fusing to go back hoime. Inoffensive negroes aro said to have been whipped and they have told of their troubles to white friends here, btut are afraid to talk openly. So far as known none have left Ihis country, but few are anxious to remain in the coumu nity. The better class of loplol ( deplore the oCCurrence, anud unt1il 1nlow t he mlatter has been kept <uiet, but to day the shoriff wirod the Governor for assistance, stating his inability to control the situation. It is re ported that Gov. McSweeney will bo hero tomorrow with Attorney Gene ril Bollinger, and sonic act ion will be taken. It does not seem to ho the object of the gang to kill or seriously injure the negroes. They simply want them to leaivo the coml)munity in order that the lands may be rented by white tenants. It is a line farming section producing good crops but is thickly set tied by negroes although the colored population Was somewhat thinned out immediately after the election riots in November. The ne groes are now very badly scared, and the object of the whitecaps his boon very nearly attained. This is the version of the story as gained from G roenwood men. A large laind owner of that section told me today that lie had his ne groes sloop) ini his barni for p)rotectloln and that the colored piopulastion is terrorized. Two hun rord negroes from that vicinity spent Saturday night in G3roonwood to avoidl the v-is itatfion of the whitecaps.
