WADDY THOMPSON, Editor. Thursday, Dec. 14,1893. DARLINGTON IS LAW-ABIDING. The Reform Sentinel takes is sue with us because we assert that the people of Darlington “have respect for the majesty of the law” and calls upon us to prove it. We need only to have recourse to our first illus tration, namely, the peaceful manner in which the raid on Mr. James’s establishment was consummated to show the truth of the assertion. The dispensa ry law, like all other laws, may be violated, but that is not the point at issue. What we en deavored to call attention to (and it seems to have given the Sentinel great offence) was that when the proper authorities, thinking the law was being vio lated, undertook in a proper manner to enforce it, the peo ple of the community submitted quietly. The disorderly scenes accompanying raids at other places were in this case conspic uous by their absence. This was because the people of Dar lington “have respect for the majesty of the law” and submit to the enforcement of even an unpopular and unjust law when it is done properly. The Sheriff made the raid, and he was the right officer to do it; no use was made of sneaks and spies. This is the particular point we noted; the abominable spy system should be discarded. We have neither denied nor affirmed that Mr. James sells liquor illegally; that is not the province of a newspaper. The case against him has been car ried to the Court and must be settled by that tribunal. It is a dangerous practice and a wrong principle for a newspaper to pass judgment in advance upon a case which is to be tried by the Court. If, however, it be true, as the Sentinel alleges, that if one will sit any day upon the very steps of the temple of justice he will be in a position to satisfy him self that the law is violated, does this not prove what we have always claimed, that the dispensary is a farce ? What is the matter with the State and county officials, who are charg ed with the enforcement of the law, that they do not put a stop to such open and flagrant viola tions of it ? Something must be wrong with the execution of the law, for the Sentinel says “no one expected that any li quor would be found, when plenty of time had been allow ed to remove aU signs of it” and again “there is not a man in Darlington who does not know that in less than two hours af ter the farce [the raid], liquor was being sold at t h e same place.” Who allowed plenty of time for the removal of the liquor? Why was not the sale of liquor stopped? It must be because the law is such a hum bug that it cannot be enforced and, therefore the sooner it is taken off the statute book the better. Can the people of the town of Darlington be blamed, because, as the Sentinel alleges, whiskey is sold illegally by some parties? Does the Sentinel assert that only town people patronize the blind tigers ? Do or do not the people in the country drink as,, much of the illicit whiskey as the citizens of the town? If they do, are they not just as much violators of the law? According to the Senti nel’s reasoning the county is as guilty as the town. The dispensary puts a prem ium upon dishonorable meth ods and already there are sus picious rumors going about con cerning briberies to carry out the spy system. Of course we do not vouch for the truth of the rumors, but the fact that they are in the air shows that the law breeds suspiscipn and this is always injurious to the welfare of a people. The spy is an offensive and dangerous sore which we trust will soon be removed from the body poli tic. The Sentinel disclaims tkiy desire to get into a controversy with Tub News, but asks us to specify those who misrepresent the town of Darlington. Now, we do not desire to be personal, but the Sentinel has given us the challenge. While there are numbers we could mention who misrepresent Darlington, we will only state that one does not need to go further than the editorial columns of the Senti nel to find just such misrepre sentation, That paper misrep- reprcsents our people when it says they are not law abiding, but that is only consistent with the course it has heretofore pur sued of never missing an oppor tunity to make a fling at the town. JUDGE SIMONTON. President Cleveland has ap pointed Judge C. H. Simon ton, of Charleston, the present Judge of the United States District Court for South Carolina, to th 5 position of Judge of the United States Circuit Court to succeed the late Judge Bond. The ap pointment is a great compliment to Judge Simonton, for the Pres ident had such a large field from which to make a selection. Be sides South Carolina, the circuit over which Judge Simonton will preside embraces Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina. The President pays a deserving tribute to man who has made an upright, capable and fearless Judge. To the Straightout Democrats of South Carolina the appoint ment is particularly gratifying in view of the disgusting abuse Governor Tillman has heaped upon Judge Simonton. The Governor probably now appre ciates what we have always known, that he is not the dicta tor of the whole United States. When Bnby was sick, we gave her Castor!*.
