Governor Tillman in an inter- terview published elsewhere deprecates the spirit of lawless ness which is rife in South Car olina. His words would sound very patriotic did not everybody know that he is responsible for the demoralized and dangerous condition of affairs that now exists in the State. He seems to have been heretofore cruelly indifferent to the fact that we are going to ruin, like Nero who fiddled while Rome was burn ing, but we are glad to note the dawn of consciousness in him. He at last seems to realize that we are surely approaching a dark and bloody chasm where no law is known and where brute force and violence reign supreme. The safeguards of society are about to be overturned; the Gov ernor realizes it, but, with a hy pocrisy natural to the man, he pretends not to know that he is the cause of it. He deprecates the spirit of lawlessness, but puts the blame on others, when it should attach in the greatest measure to him. He works de moralization and then loudly proclaims that he is a lover of law and order A few y ears back South Car- linians were a happy family. Peace prevailed and prosperity promised much for the future. Under the blessings of plenty and the prospects of continued peace and good will the people were content. But from this there was a rude awakening. From an obscure point in Edge- field Ben Tillman arose and, like the withering hand of a storm and with the quickness of a stroke of lightning, he blasted everything that was good. Peace was changed to turmoil and strife, plenty was changed to penury, and the hopes of a prosperous future were changed to doubt and des pair. In his mad greed for power he stopped at nothing. Not satisfied with reducing the proud old State to a condition of helplessness, he undertook to deprive her people of the God- given blessing of personal lib erty. By over riding the law, with an utter disregard of the inalienable rights of other peo pie, he has brought forth demor alization. This is the man that, Phari see-like, now so loudly pro claims his devotion to law and order. WHITHER ARE WE DRIFTING? The present year is but a lit tle over a month old, but al ready it marks a bloody and de plorable epoch in South Caroli na. We almost despair when we think of what the remainder of the year may bring to us. There may be even more mis fortune and misery ahead. Young as the year 1894 is, it has already had a terrible ex perience. The dispensary law, which takes away the persona 1 rights of the people, has placed a blighting hand upon us. Its obnoxious features and the reckless manner in which the authorities are enforcing them have caused a restless feeling that portends continued and in creasing trouble. Houses have been searched without any provocation, citi zens have been subjected to gross indignities, a lady’s face has been slapped and men have been cruelly shot down—all un- jjer the pretence of enforcing a law which is distasteful to right thinking people. The Governor pardons the spy who: slaps the woman’s face and seems to see no crime in the reckless, barbarous way i n which the spies kill their fellow men. This is more than Anglo-Sax ons can stand. Is it any won der, then, that the State has met with defeat after defeat in its prosecutions of violators of the dispensary law? It seems to be almost impossible to ob tain a conviction. A large p umber of cases have- been tried, but only here and there a poor, friendless negro is found guilty. Public sentiment does not uphold the dispensary and never will. ’Tis the constant shedding of blood, in enforcing the law, that marks the gravity of the situation. Such a condition of affairs must not continue. If the people do not rise up at the next election and crush out the men in power that are now ruining the State, South Caro lina will be reduced to anarchy. THE coifrim. GENERAL NEWS. (Continue l from 1st Page.) CLYDE. We have already had several fires in the woods. Mr. J. P. Walters is up again after several days attack of the grip. Bro. J. F. Kelley delivered an excellent sermon at New Mar ket on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Morrison are on a few davs’ pleasure trip up in Chesterfield county. The session of the Morman school closed on Friday last with a celebration by the children. Some of the neighbors erected a nice fence on Saturday last around the graveyard on Mr. D. D. Johnson’s place. On next Saturday they will clean the yard. We regret to chronicle the death of Mr. Shelley Watkins, which occurred on Saturday night atter a short illness. The bereaved family have our sym pathies. Mr. W. T. Goodson has bro ken the way. He has already planted twd or three hundred stalks of ribbon cane. Let us follow suit md raise our own molasses and wheat. We were very sorry to learn of a difficulty which occurred at the home of Mr. J. L. Bennett one night last of week. Mr. B. L. Outlaw received several gashes with a knife and Mr. B W. Segars, Jr., received a slight cut on the hand. Item* of Interest From All Over The World. The insurrection in the north ern part of Mexico has been crushed. Five men were drowned by the wreck of a vessel off the coast of Nova Scotia last week. Atlanta has invited the Grand Army of the Republic to hold its next encampment in that city. A train ran into a sleigh near Fall River, Mass., on Wednes day of last week, and three per sons were killed. A cyclone blew downachurch near Birmingham, Ala., on Sun day night and three persons were killed and about thirty wounded. Gen. N. Henson, a bank pres ident of Chattanooga, killed J. B. Wert, a well known insur ance agent of the same city, on Monday. George W. Childs, editor and proprietor of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, and one of the greatest philanthropists of the country, died on Saturday. The tariff reduction bill pass ed the House of Representatives on Thursday by a vote of 204 to 140. The bill now goes to the Senate where its fate is not so certain. Dr. J. B. Hinkle, a prominent physician of Americus, Ga., was convicted last week of the murder of Dr. Worsham, also a prominent physician of the same town. On Sunday James Thompson, of Columbus, Ga., while drunk tried to kill his wife. His son, who is deaf and dumb, rushed to the assistance of his mother and stabbed his father to death. A probably exaggerated story comes from North Carolina. Near the Tennessee line last week a number of farmers be came engaged in a quarrel. Fourteen were wounded, six of whom died. The grand jury in session at Kansas City has brought indict ments against the presidents of the banks that failed in that city last summer. All are charged with embezzlement and accepting deposits when they knew their banks were insolv ent. State of South Carolina a copy right upon the palmetto design used on the dispensary bottles. Thus has Governor Tillman met with another defeat in the courts. Charleston had a series of fa tal accidents last week. A color ed boy was drowned in the har bor, a colored man was run over and killed by a train, and a >oiler explosion on a steamer killed one man and injured two others. American vessels were recent ly fired upon by ships of the revolutionists of Brazil which were blockading the port of Rio Jeneiro. Admiral Benham, of the American navy, promptly put a stop to the outrage by threatening to destroy the en tire fleet of the revolutionists. Lawrence Williams, a young white man of Savannah, killed a negro woman in that city in that city in December. He suc ceeded in eluding the officers of the law, but on Saturday last he voluntarily surrendered him self in Augusta, having been overcome by his remorse for the crime. STATE NEWS. GREEN PLAIN. There are some cases of the grip here, but none serious. Sickness has prevented this correspondent from giving the news from his section regular ly- Mr. W. H. Huggins has been quite sick for some time, but he is now slowly improving. We hope to see him out again soon. Rev. F. M. Satterwhite preached an interesting and in structive sermon at Antioch on Sunday, taking his text from portions of the sixth and sev enth chapters of Judges. With all the talk of hard times the f armers are pushing ahead, looking for better things which we hope will come with the next cotton crop. Were it not for hope the plow would stop and then there would be a panic. A good deal of small grain has been planted and it is look ing fairly well. Very little fer tilizers have been purchased in this section yet and many will not be able to buy very much. About the same acreage will be planted this year as last, but corn and other crops will re ceive better attention. Considerable building and re- ' “ is going on around here, r. G. W. Hill has added a 34- foot L and a piazza to his house and otherwise improved his home; Mr. J. W. Moore is build ing a good sized dwelling and ™. W. Boswell is putung a new roof on his house; Mr. Frank Wilkes has built new barns and stables; Mr. J. Hart Coker is preparing to erect a tenant house and Mr. W. D. Young is collecting timber for a large barn.

Reuben Hudson was fount dead in a swamp near Camden last week and it is thought that he was murdered. The State authorities continue to meet with failures in their prosecutions of persons chargee with violating the dispensary law. Rev. A. M.

A young woman suffering from acute inflammation of the eye* complains that visiting friends, through the mistaken notion of sowing contentment by com parison, keep her mentally on the rack with cases of ocular troubles worse than her own. As her excited imagination promptly fits each to her own case, she has become affrighted at the thought of a visitor and exclaims every time the doorbell rings, ■■What new eye horror is in store for me?” A W.ll Filled Postal Card. At the Dusaeldorf exhibition a few years ago a gentleman showed a postal card upon which the whole of the first three books of the Odyssey were written, the remaining space being filled with the transcript of a long debate which had taken place in the German parliament a •hort tune before. The whole card con tained 88,000 words.—Boston Common wealth. It Should Be in Every House. J. B.

Robert Barber, of Cooksport, Pa., claims Dr. King’s New Dis covery has done him more good than anything he ever used for Lung Trouble. Nothing like it. Try it.
