VOL. XXII, NO. 11. DARLINGTON, S. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1895. WHOLE NUMBER 1,049. IN SOUTH CAROLINA Ourrent News for the Week Throughout the State. JUDGE SISONTON ON THE DISPENSARY The Colombia City Coonoil Pam Iletolo tion Concerning Benedict College Fire. Other State New« Condensed In Short Paragraphs. Columbia, S. CL, March IS.—Somo months ago the main building of the Benedict college, a colored educational institution, maintained by northern money here, was burned, the opinion of the president being that it was fired by an expelled student. The best class of white citizens of the town did every thing in their power to save the effects of the white teachers who resided in the building, many remaining inside till the roof fell in. Despite all that, there seems, from resolutions adopted by the city council last night, to have been an effort to make this fire the ex cuse for something which is a complete surprise to the people here. The reso lutions which are endorsed by the pres ident of the college read as follows: Whereas, That the secretary of the Home mission society in his last report charges that the people of Columbia, instigated by preju dice against the education of the negro, burnt one of their school buildings, and also charges that northern teachers, when they come south, have to take their lives in their hands, there fore be It Resolved, By the mayor and aldermen of the olty of Columbia In council assembled, that the charges above set forth are absolutely without foundation. In fact, the colored schools in this section have always been protected by the laws of the state of South Carolina, the city of Columbia and the citizens individually, and their teachers respected in every instance. Upon the occasion of the fire at the Benedict college the lire department of the city ren dered all possible assistance, and would have succeeded in saving said 'building had the house not been located outside of the corporate limits of Columbia, and at so great a distance from the fire plugs of the city that the fire en gines could not reach the flames. CONSTABLES SEIZE WHISKEY. Tbo Sloop, Oar Frits, Rsldod st Rosa fort South Carolina. Chaxlcston, 8. C., March IS.—Special to the News and Courier from Beaufort. 8. C., says: Yesterday afternoon the state constables seized on board of the sloop Our Fritz, of Charleston, sixteen barrels of whiskey and five barrels of export beer marked Stincken <fc O’Neal, Wilmington, N. C., shipped from Savan nah. Mr. Benjamin Elfe, represented as super cargo in charge and was ar rested upon warrants issned by trial justice T. G. White, charging infrac tion of the dispensary laws In bringing contraband whiskies and liquors into the state for use therein, upon affidavit of the state constables The defendant claims that he was only passing through by the island passage on account of stress of weather and that he was bound for Wilmington. The constables claim to have evidence to the contrary and have telegraphed the governor the situation. The vessel and cargo are in charge of the sheriff to abide developments. Defendant re quired to furnish bail. GOES TO THE FEDERAL COURT. Th. Const nationality of the Dlipeasary law to bo Toatotb Chart.kston, 8. 0., March IS.—The ■tate dispensary law is now on its way to the United States supreme court. In the United States circuit court yesterday Judge Simonton, handed down a deci sion in the habeas corpus cases of the matter and crew of the schooner Caro lina. who had been arrested on a charge of violating the dispensary law. Their vessel contained a cargo of liquor brought from* Savannah, Ga., to this port, was seized by the police and state constables and confiscated. Suits were brought to transfer the case to the federal court, and the master and crew of the vessel were brought into that court on habeas corpus. In the decision which orders the re lease of the men from custody, Judge Simonton expresses the opinion that the arrest and detention of the defend ants was against the interstate com merce law, and that the dispensary law is unconstitutional and indicates that it would be best for the state and public for the case to go to the federal court. ATTACKING THE LAW. Th* First Mots Against South Carolina's Registration System Inaugurated. Ciiaki.kston, 8. C.. March 18.—Civil suit for 12,500 damages has been en tered at Washington by Douglass * O'Bear, attorneys for Daniel Wiley, colored, against D. L. Sinkler, et al, managers of precinct two, ward six in this city in the last federal election. The summons and complaint were sent from Washington to the clerk of the United States circuit court with direc tions that they be served at once, which was done last night. In the last elec tion Wiley attempted twice to vote without having a registration ticket and was not allowed to do so by the managers. He was at the time accom panied by ex-Congressman Murray. This is thought to be the first move in an attack on the validity of the regis tration law. SOUTH CAROLINA IN BRIEF.

H* Died ttio Moat Famous Drsaamskst In All tbs World. Parja March 12.—Charles Frederick Worth, the most celebrated of Parisian dressmakers, who died vesterday, was singularly enough, a native of England, but the only queen in all Europe who never ordered a toilette from him is the one in whose dominions he was born. He began life as a printer, but an in stinctive dislike to soiling his hands as W’ell as his inborn gifts, led him to ex change his apprlnticeship for a position in the extensive dry goods house of 8wan and Edgar in London. There he developed and perfected his apprecia tion of the productions of the French millionaires and dressmakers, superin tending the unpacking of every case of pattern garments that arrived and speedily became an authority in all matters connected with stylishness of cut and tastefulness of trimming. But Paris alone afforded a field for the full exercise of his talent, and to Paris he went. His fame belted the world in all directions EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON ILL.

He remained In bed until Thursday, when he got up. but was compelled to go to bed again Friday. He la seriously 111, but I should not say was In any danger. Overwork has much to do with this attack of sickness. RESOLUTIONS ON PARKHURST. Finally Laid L'pon the Table After a Long War of Words.

THE CITY IN A STATE OF EXCITEMENT. Tha Mob Consist, sf Two Hundred White Men Armed W ith Pistols and Win chesters.—Governor Foster Will Take Action. New Orleans. March IS.—Another bloody riot occurred yesterday morn ing. The scene of the conflict was on the river front between Stann and Du- maine streets. Three men were killed almost outright while a number were wounded. The killing was done by a mob of white men numbering about 200 who were armed with pistols and Winches ter rifles. The negroes were about to start to work on board the steamship, Engineer, lying at that point, when white men approached from all direc tions. All were armed and many took positions behind box cars and poured volley upon volley into the negroes. Those who were on the scene say that it reminded them of a battle field so fast and furious was the firing. The negroes were given no quarter and were shot down like dogs. Not only were the darkies shot down but several Innocent persons suffered. Among those killed was Jules Clicen Carabee, a shoe maker who happened to be in the vicinity. James Bane, the purser of the Engineer, was standing on the levee, near his ship when the attack was made and he received four wounds, three in the head and another In the arm. He was fired upon by several men who aimed over the heads of three policemen who were kneeling behind some freight just on the edge of wharf His wounds may prove fatal. The Police Powerless. As near as can be stated, the shoot ing occurred a few minutes after seven o’clock. There was a dense fog pre vailing and this afforded the whites an excellent chance to do their bloody work. At the time, there were only six policemen on the scene and there were no arrests effected, as the police was as badly frightened as the negroes. The attacks were composed of two parties. A large number of men ap peared at the corner of Dumaino street, while and equally as large a mob came from the corner at St. Ann street. Corporal Davanney who was In charge of the handfull of policemen ordered the men to disperse but no attention was paid to him. The mayor scored the police for their cowardice. Another riot occurred about four miles distant in the direction of Car rollton at the foot of Philip street. Only one man, William Campbell, col ored, was killed in this affair. A total of eight are wounded and four men dead. Doubtless a number of oth er negroes were slightly wounded but run away and cannot be identified. All the commercial bodies were in ses sion last night with Governor Foster present to devise some means of ending the trouble. THINK CLEVELAND WILL RUN. That la Said to Be the Reason for Forming a Silver Party. Washington. March 18.—The reason the sliver men were in such haste to form a new party, instead of placing implicit reliance in their ability to se cure the nomination of a free coinage man on a free coinage platform by the old democratic party, is said to have been that they had satisfied themselves that Mr. Cleveland will again be a can didate. After making a careful inves tigation and reasoning the matter out they became thoronirhly convinced of this. They argued, in the first place, that the “sound money” democrats would not consent to remain in the party If it were captured by the free silverites, and that, therefore, to save themselves from the necessity of quit ting the party, and also to insure the election of a sound money man, no matter whether the republicans or the democrats were successful in 1890, they would make a determined fight to cap ture the convention.

Report to the State Department on the Bnalneee of Flaxen Textllea Washington, March 11. — United States Consul Taney at Belfast, Ireland, has made an interesting report on the foreign trade in flaxen textiles. He states that 1894 was a very bad year for Belfast on account of the com mercial depression in the United States, where the greater part of Bel fast's flax goods are sold. But Mr. Taney said that after the tariff agitation had ended “orders be gan increasing and business in the tex tile industry revived until the demands are now equal to what it was at any time within the past five years.” The revival is so pronounced that it has brought the total exports of linen piece goods in 1894 up to 158,298.600 yards, as against 158,885,300 yards, valued at 817,537,216, in the preceding year, showing a diminution of barely IK per cent in quantity and 4 per cent in value, whereas, for seven months ending in July of 1894, as compared with the same months In the five previous years, it has fallen off 20 per cent in quality and value.

Enormous Increase la Production Shown In Every State Over the Flguree of the Preceding Year—The Move ment Given In Detail New Orleans, March 19.—New Or leans cotton exchange statement: The Texas cotton crop and movements from the Gulf and Atlantic states. Actual deliveries from the state of Texas for tho first six months of this season to Febru .ry 28th of 2,808,398 bales against 1,795,412 bales for the same time last season, making a net increase of 1.079,984 bales. The delive ries at the Texas seaboard show an in crease of 570,688 bales: shipments via Cairo and St. Louis. 183,909; to New Orleans 378,777, and rail shipments to Mexico of 27,938 bales. While ship ments across the Mississippi river, north of St. Louis, have decreased 18,- 293 bales. Deliveries from the state of Texas from and after March 1st last, year were 263,848 bales, the commercial crop of Texas last year having been 2,059,080 bales. Cotton Uelt In Sections. Secretary Hester has also issued a statement giving an analysis of the movement of cotton into sight, divid ing tlie cotton belt into three groups, viz., 1st, Texas and Indian Territory; 2d, other gulf states, embracing Ar kansas, Louisiana. Mississippi and Ten nessee; Sd, Atlantic states, embracing North Carolina. South Carolina. Geor gia, Florida and Alabama. This analy sis shows the crop brought into sight for the first six months of the season to February 28th, inclusive—Texas 2,931,920 bales, against 1,811,540 bales in 1894, and 1,893,962 in 1893.

The statement does not divide Texas and other Gulf states for 1892, the 9.035,000 crop year, as there were no separate monthly figures made for Texas in that year, but it gives the fol lowing comparisons between this year and 1892: Atlantic an* Gulf State*. Texas and other Gulf states together this year 5,330,715 bales against 4,874,- 419 in 1892; Atlantic states this year 3,135,940 bales against 3,089535 in H92. Excess compared with 1892 in Texas and other Gulf states, 460,295; excess compared with 1892 in the Atlantic states, 54,405. The difference in Texas crop as given above and Texas in sight consists of the fact that Texas crop embraces only cotton actually shipped out of the state to February 28, whereas the tn sight Includes also stocks at counter interior towns on February 28 in excess of September 1st. Deliveries from the different groups after Febru ary 28 in the past three years, were: From Texas 247,520 bales in 1894 and 214,501 in 1893; from other Gulf states 270,918 in 1694 and 308,859 in 1893; from Texas and other Gulf states together 560,581 in 1893; from Atlantic states 408,776 in 1894; 402,602 in 1893, and 517,- 844 in 1892.
