One Dollar a Year. DARLINGTON, S. 0. Wednesday, August 3, 1892. The spirit of liberty still sur vives in South Carolina. Down with •itie Dictator, Tillman. The Alliance ought to be consist ent and endorse fanners instead of lawyers and office-holders for posi tions of honor and responsibility. They abuse the lawyers, hot put them in office at the same time, and seem to prefer being represented by anybody in prefesence to a fanner. We would be sorry to see any of Gov. Tillman’s supporters go to Con gress, but if we were brought to tht point of having to support Mr. Me- Laurin or Mr. Evans, we unheritat ingly prefer the latter, as we regard him a, a better man in every way, and believe that he would try to die charge the duties of his position Mr. McLanHn would be more than likely to follow the illntrious exam pie of Senator Irby and care mort for the success of his faction than for the public welfare. Public instrumentalities, the rail road, the telegraph, the financial system, drift enormous revenue* inf* private coffers, while they exist undei a normal condition of public control This condition is an economic abanr- ‘ dity. No solution of the great prob lem of equitable distribution can be found outside of the public owner ship of public instruments, and materials.—Address ef the Darling ton County Alliance. We would be very glad to know if the above sentence is to be under stead as committing the Alliance to the Government ownership of rail roads? If the Judges don’t know on which side their bread is buttered, they will find o ut in less than eighteen months.”—Gov. Tillman in his York ville speech. If there was no other reason for voting against Gov. Tillman thU would be sufficient to make every good citizen work to the utmost to secure his defeat. It is nothing more nor less than a threat te the Judges that if they don’t construe tha laws to suit his ideas of what it right, they may expect to lose their places- Mr. Tillman is tke most dangerous man South Carslina hat ever given birth to, and is entirel; ont of place in a country that has b constitutional form of government. If South Carolina was isolated and did net belong th a confederation of States, he would, if his courage equal ed his lack of principle and ambition, declare himself dictator, and do away with such useless encumbrances at couate and a Legislatvre. He has the instincts of a tyrant, and tha Shah of Persia might take lessons from him in the line of per sonal and irresponsibly government. Can the farmers of South Carolina ever hope to get credit for consisten cy when the names of three promi nent fanners are brought before a caucus of farmers, for Congression al honors, and defeated by a lawyer whose only qualification is that he is (he pet of Gov. Tillman and the law partner of a man who has been Re publican office holder, and still ready to run in with that Party when the opportunity presents itself to secure m office. neys in Darlington bare given np “conservatism,” and declared, for I he present administration. community stands almost unanimous lor the Fanners’ Move- ienk although four “lambs” are canvassing (he dark corners under the fostrudfions sf Chairman Dib ble’s programme, perhaps. Farmer. Jasper, S. C., July 26. The above Uem is just one of the many falsehoods that appear daily in the columns of the Register, and the man who wrote it is either very ignorant or very anxious to show his utter disregard for truth. We would be glad to have the names of these prominent attorneys, and will pub lish them in the Herald. Of course know that the Register wont The Columbia Register calls Senator Irby a great statesman, but jb what grounds it bases its state ment we are unable to divine, unless his intellect is so stupendous that the recognition of his ability is just matter of intuition. But where Sou Id Calhoun, Hayne, McDuffie, Legare and Hammond be if Mr. Irby were only to exert himself. They would be overshadowed by the mighty Achievements of Mr. Irby’s gigantic intellect, and his name would go iown in history as that of the great est statesman that the country has wer produced. In another part of the paper we publish the affidavits it reference to the circular read by Gov. Tillman at the campaign meeting at this place. They came in too late for enr last weeks issue. We are Indebted to the jourtesy of the Darlington News for tke nse of the type, which they had to prepare for their issue of last week The affidavits explain themselves, and will satisfy everybody except those who prefer falsehood to truth Of course nobody imagines that the editor of the Register will make any correction of the matter, as he makes a specialty of standing by every slan Jer that finds its way into the col iimns of the truthful and high toned journal over which he presides. The excuse of “just give Tillman two years more like all (he rest of them had is worn ont and thread bare. The people can not afford to put themselves for two years more under the control of a man who tries to bnlldoee his legislature and have judges placed on the bench to suit him, who abuses everybody who op poses his tyranical will, who wants to oppress the people with new taxee, new, strange and complicated laws destroying local self goverument and provisions of law taking away the rights of thousands of good and hon est men. When voting time comes, it will be found that a good many people who do no shenting and cause no disturb ance at political meetings drop in mighty strong ballots. The press has come to be for the most part a business enterprise, run for the money or political plunder. Its influence is for sale. It mann factures public sentiment on con tract. Thoroughly venal and mer cenary, it would strangle the Alli ance and its principles for the money to be had of the plntocrat and the corporation.—Address of the Dar lington County Alliance. There has never been a time in the history of the State or of the country when the newpapen, those worth the name, have been more outspoken and independent than they are at the present day, and they are a greater source of terror to evil doers, either high or low than they have ever been before. The history of the past and present campaign proves very conclusively that there are a good many papers in the State whose influence can’t be se cured on any terms, and it is not go ing too far to say that the dema gogues and unscrupulous office seek ers dread the independent newspaper mere than they do everything else put tog her, knowing as they well do how impossible it is for them to run the terrible gauntlet of newspa per criticism. We are satisfied that Gov. Tillman and his associates, despite the merci less exposure of their shortcomings by the ConaervativeCandidates, would vastly prefer the ordeal of meeting their opponents every day, if, by this means, they could silence the opposi tion newspapers. A man may secure a few temporary victories, but his political downfall is only a question of time when his course is such as to merit the condemnation of the inde pendent newspaper. It is easy enough to gather shout- ers at county seats where each sbouter may sound liks ten men aad hold up two hands in a “hand primary;” but the count at the boxes will tell a different story.—Orangeburg Eater- prise. lavishly to prevent the enactment of 0 «the contrary the chief justice of prohibition laws?

We can assure the Register that if Gov. Tillman is counting on the votes or the influence of a single prominent lawyer, in Darlington, he makes a very serious mistake. They will not support a man for Governor who has no respect for the law or for those who have made it a life study. Ffohibltloi, by Rev. 6. T. Gresham. Our informant in regard to that Edgefield incident is traveling agent for a Charleston fertilizer company, whose name can be given whenever it becomes necessary. We have since seen several reputable gentlemen from Edgefield Connty, who endorse the statement. We make no assert ions bnt that are true.—Columbia Register. The closing sentence of the shove is about the most untrue assertion that the Register has ever made, and reminds us of a story, told, by somebody, that will bear on the case of the Register. There were three men walking along the road, and at the same inst; they all discovered a very valuable article, and as it could not be divided, they fell into a very animated discnssion as to which one of the three should have it Finally one of them suggested that it should be given to the one that could tell the biggest story. This was agreed to, but just as they were about to tell the stories, a very benevolent old preacher came up ani inquired as to th« cause of their animated conversa tion. On biing told, be expressed his regret that they intended decid ing it in that way and concluded by saying that he had never told a story in his life. He bad no sooner said it when one of the claimants handed him the article, saying here parson the thing is yours. The Eli tor of the Register has made the same assertion as the preacher and onght to have the prise whatever it is. TILUliN TRUMPS IN RAILING- TGN. [From the Columbia Register.] Editor Register:—We feel sure now that the grand army of Till manites in South Carolina will em brace fonr-fifths of the Democratic voting material by the time of the primary, August 30th, irrespective of the efforts made by the ring to in timidate n any of us. Some of the most talented attor- The friends of prohibition owe the Herald a vote of thanks for the prominence given to temperance in its issue of July 20th. Hunt up the paper and read it “You can’t make people good by legislation.” We admit that a bad man can’t be made good by law, but we deny that that is a reason for refusing to en act and enforce laws against all evil-doing, and against the manufac ture and sale of intoxicating liquors especially. Laws are not enact*! to restrain the good from evil, but to keep the evil-inclined from exercis ing their propeusities to th* detri ment uf law-abiding citizens. But for the bad man we should have no need for laws, and if we mast have laws to govern such people in other respicte, we must have laws to govern them in the matter of manu facture and sale of intoxicating li quors. The man who would advo cate the repeal of the law against murder because you can’t make the murderer a good man by hanging him, or the repeal of the law against stealing because the rogue is just as much a rogue after he returns from prison as he was before te went, would stand self-condemned as a silly squibbler. Everybody knows that th* man who is huug for mur der has no chance to reform, luthe pays the just penalty of his heinous crime, and fear of the same fate re strains other bad men from commit ting murder to the very great benefit of the man who would otherwise have been murdered. A wholesome amount of neck-stretching in Dar lington county, just at this time, would have a most desirable effect to restrain men from murder and to reclaim our county from the charges of lawlessness whish might be fully made against it To imprison the thief does not make him an honest man, bnt it prevents others from stealing to the benefit of those who otherwise would hare property stolen The law does not make a man any the less a murderer or a thief in in tent, but it compels him to hold his evil intentions in subjection, so that the hanging of the murderer pre vents other men from committing murder and incarceration of the thief prevents others from stealing my property and yours. If we shotffd not pass prohibition laws be- eanse we can’t make men good by law, then we should for the same reason repeal all laws now on our statute books against crime. No law makes men good, but all good laws well enforced do lessen crime and increase the security of person and property. The objection proves too much, because if it be valid then (.11 laws against crime will have to be repeal ed and the evil-deer left to do as he pleases. Besides in seeking to close the bar-rooms—to prohibit the man ufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, we propose to remove from men the temptation to drown reason in intoxication and thus become fit for aay crime that Satan may sug gest We propose to remove the open bar so as to lessen the temptation to our boys to become drunkards snd criminals. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” With the sale of liquors outlawed our boys would staud a far better chance to grow up good, sober men. We can’t make men good by law, but we can. by re moving the temptation offered by the open bar, largely prevent the rising generation from becoming bad. Isn’t the end aimed at—the saving of your boys—of sufficisnt impor tance to induce us to legislate the manufacture and sale of intoxica ting liquors out of our State ? It is claimed that “prohibition dees nst prohibit” Indeed I Then is it not just a little strange that those who favor the open bar strive so earnestly and spend money so and sale of intoxicating liquors, all lovers of sobriety—all friends of pro hibition—should do all iu theis pow er to make and enforce prohibatory laws. If it is true that prohibition does not prohibit that fact presents one of the strongest reasons for all lovers of temperance to redouble their effort! to enforce the laws since the failure of prohibition must be due to disre gard of the law on the part of these who manufacture and sell the liquors. If those men ply their trade in spite of the law, they prove themselves to be a dangerous set who should be suppressed at all hazard. Men who will not obey the law should be outlawed not allowed to have their way. Then the above ob jection is against those make it. If correct it shows that we must destroy the the business of making and sel ling intoxicating liquors to keep the business from destroying us. We admit that liquor is sold in spite of prohibitory laws. Is that a reason for not enacting pronibitory laws? If so, what laws have we on onr statute book which should not be repealed? Every law is repeatedly violated. In spite of the hanging of munlerera, murders are of almost daily occurence. Imprisonment of the tl ief does not prevent others from stealing. Inspite of free school a large per cent of onr peopl^are iu the densest iguoAhce. Shall we wipe out our laws against murder and theft because men ctnt'nne to steal and kill? Shall we abolish the free school system 1 ecause everybody is not enlightened? No! We know that even the partial enforcement of the laws on these points saves lives and property, and dispels much igno rance. No law is perfectly enforced. Prohibition laws cau be and are usually as well enforced as are the laws ajpinst mnrder, theft, etc. We lived nearly three yeare in a town of four thousand inhabitants where local option prevailed and though we never walked the stree s without tok- ing out, for violators of thjMM|| we didn’t see one man hoist erofltffwuik day or night, during the time. We uever saw a streetjgow in all that time. Intoxicatingnqnors were sold but so cautiously and secretly that the town was not kMtMJl a state ot confusion and fu^pHMh^ Jtote^the county enforced the baron that town and the first day the bar was opened seventeen men beastly drunk were counted on the street. Whiskey is sold at Society Hill and at Timmons ville inspite of the law existingagainst its sale it those places, but no honest man who knows the facts will con tend that those places are not better off for not having the open bar. the good order prevailing at both places on Saturday evenings is con clusive proof of the benefits of pro hibition to them. The good order that prevailed in Darlington on cam paign day was due to the closed bar, to the enforcement of the law for the day. If Darlington can prohibit the sale of intoxicating drink for one day, she can do it for any length of time. The good order that prevailed in Darlington on campaign day is a splendid argument for State prohi bition. Prohibition piohibite in Maine. The law has now been in force there for more than thirty yeats and every time there is a change the law is mad* more stringent Is further argument needed to prove that the law prohibits in Maine? When men tell you that more whiskey is sold in Maine under prohibition than under license you must tell them that either the people who have lived under pro hibition for more than thirty yean are simpletons, or the statement is a palpable lie. Prohibition prohibits in Kansas. It is affirmed that since prohibition went into effect there every cent of the State debt has been paid and the taxes have been reduced twenty-five percent In the last Republican State Con vsntion Marsh M. Murdock, th:- re- submission candidate for Govei was defeated rod the following reso lution with reference to prohibition was adopted “The Republican party is the party of law and order, and it demands of public servants in the city, county and State the full, vig orous and manly enforcement of every provision of the constitution, and every law upon the statute books including those enacted for the en forcemeat of the prohibitory amend ment” In n recent communication to the Home Mission Society, the first Baptist Church, of Topeka, Kansas, says: “We desire to reiterate onr be lief that prohibition is the only proper and effective way of dealing with the liquor traffic. And, furth er, we wish to deny the truth of all reports which declare that prohibi tion ban proven a failure in Kansas. tiou law is violated once in Kansas. This statement made by him who oc cupies the highest judicial position in our State must carry great weight and but voices the sentiment of a g eat majority of onr citizens.” The law does prohibit elsewhere it would prohibit in South Carolina.
