FLOODING THE STATE.
The action of Governor Till
man in trying to coerce the
board of control of Lancaster
county into establishing a dis- ^
pensary at Pleasant Hill, in that item* o
county, whether or not the
board deemed it advisable shows
very conclusively that he in
tends taking the law into his
own hands and running it to
suit himself. His removal of
the chairman of the board be
cause he thought the latter
stood in his way in establishing
the dispensary shows to what
extent the Governor will go to
carry his point.
The law requires that a mem
ber of the board of control can
only De moved for cause, but
the chairman of the Lancaster
board was removed without
cause and without a hearing.
The Lancaster board wished to
be convinced of the advisability
of establishing a dispensary at
Pleasant Hill before doing so,
but the Goveinor wished to get
as many dispensaries as possi
ble in operation immediately.
So anxious is he for the revenue
that he could not tolerate the
delay, hence off goes the chair
man’s official head. All of the
members of the board were
equally responsible for the de
lay, but the chairman is a
Straightout, so he is dismissed;
the others are Tillmanites and
are retained. Tillman’s desire
to have as many dispensaries as
possible must please the prohi
bitionists. Does he want to
flood the State with whiskey ?
Here is something else that
must be pleasing to the advo
cates of prohibition. The Gov
ernor is credited with refusing
to allow the newspaper reporters
to inspect the reports of the dis
pensers lodged with the county
auditors. Public records are
public property and everybody
has a right to inspect them, but
Governor Tillman cares very
little for the rights of people.
He makes his will the law. We
suppose he is afraid the news
papers will publish the names
of those who buy liquor from
the dispensary and people, not
willing to see their names in
print as purchasers of whiskey,
will therefore be discouraged
from patronizing the State bar.
The Governor holds out every
inducement for the people to
drink dispensary liquor and is
doing everything to pursuade
them. Almost every day he
gives additional evidence that
he means “rum for revenue.”
This is a fine substitute for pro
hibition, isn’t it ?
doubt. The two sides are so
bent on haviug their ideas pre
vail that it is not improbable
that neither will carry its point,
but that, in order to settle the
question and 'give the country
j some relief, a compromise will
be agreed upon. The most
popular plan of compromise at
present is to coin a silver dollar
which will have an intrinsic
value of as near one hundred
cents as possible.
consisted in the poor attendance
at the games. This was the
case mostly with the Western
cities. Charleston patronized
the gaihes well and a good sum
of money has been left in the
club’s treasury.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Congress has begun without
any delay the consideration of
the matter for which it was
called together. The discussion
of the money question has be
gun in earnest in the House of
Representatives. The anti-sil
ver men have introduced a bill
providing for the unconditional
repeal of the purchasing section
of the Sherman law and the
silver advocates have com
menced their side of the fight
by the introduction of a bill pro
viding for the free coinage of
silver at the present ratio.
An agreement has been reach
ed governing the course of de
bate. The debate will be con
tinued for fourteen days from
August 11, which will be until
August iS. Separate votes will
be taken on ratios for coining
■ilver and gold beginning at
16 to 1 and continuing to 20
to 1, if necessary to reach the
ratio upon which both sides will
agree. A-vote will also be had
upon an amendment to revive
the Bland Act of 1878.
It is impossible to foretell the
result of the fight. Party lines
are not drawn and the contest
is strictly between silver and
anti-silver. A number of Con
gressman have not committed
themselves while others favor a
mise and this is why the

Yellow fever has appeared at
Brunswick, Ga.
Samuel Mullins and his wife
were killed by lightning near
Newton, Ala., on Thursday.
Up to last Saturday there

Two fires, presumably of in
cendiary origin, destroyed over
a million dollars’ worth of prop
erty in Minneapolis on Sunday.
Six young men got on a
drunken spree near Louisville
on Thursday, which ended in
a general row and three of them
were killed.
A pleasure yacht capsized in
the Tennessee River, near Chat
tanooga, on Saturday, and
three ladies and a little girl
were drowned.
Riots broke out in Bombay
last week and continued for
several days. Fifty persons
were killed and over twelve
hundred wounded.
C. W. Wreckstone, who lived
near Lyons, Ga., was killed
last week by the accidental dis
charge of a gun he had set as a
trap in his store for burglars.

The trouble in the mining dis-
district of Tennessee continues.
Last week a miner murdered a
soldier and subsequently the
latter’s comrades captured the
miner and lynched him.
In Fayetteville N. C., on Fri
day two young men, named C.
J. Fuller and B. C. Parker, both
of good social standing, got in
a quarrel about a love affair
apd Fuller shot and instantly
killed his antagonist.
A number of the convicts in
the Kentucky penitentiary

In July last a negro man and
his daughter were poisoned in
Charleston The wife and an
other daughter, the latter only
fourteen years old, were arrest
ed on suspicion. Last week the
little girl confessed that she and
her mother had done the poison
ing by putting “rough on rats”
in the food.
Governor Tillman has par
doned a colored girl who was
sentenced five vears ago at
York to ten years imprisonment
for attempting to poison a fam
ily. The pardon is interesting
because the petition was signed
by 140 ladies who say they do
not believe the girl is guilty as
she was convicted solely upon
circumstantial evidence and she
had always borne a good repu
tation.
