THE ARREST A5D SEIZURE . - The store-room of Dave Morris roosted to the rear of the Court House was raided by State Constables on Thursday last, who seized the remnants of bis stock of Liquors, whick were removed to this building for storage when his saloon in the Masonic Temple was closed on July 1st. This build? ing bas been rented and used by the Morris Brothers for six or eight years, and that the liquor remaining unsold eu July 1st w?.s stored there wa?* no secret. Tbs warrant for the arrest of Mr. Morris and seizure of the liquor was issued on the affidavit of Mr. E. M. Pitts, w*uo, as Chairman of the Board of Control, was called upon to perform this duty. The names of ten resi? dents of this city were cited as material wit? nesses of the facts set forth in the warrant. It was there stated that Dare Morris did, daring the mooth of July, sell liquor io viola? tion of the dispensary law. This warrant iras issued by Trial Justice B. J. Goedmao, wno came over from bis home near Lynchburg fer that purpose. The temporary injunction against Morris was issued by Judge Fraser, who refused to issue an injunction on the irrst warrant issued which was predicated on information and belief. Assistant Attorney , General Buchanan arrived here on Wednesday evening and was met by the Board of Control. There were I tbree Constables in the city who came for the j parp?se of assisting in tba arrest and seizure of the liquor. Their names were J. W. Hol? loway, M. S. West and C. McCarty, all of whom were rough, ungainly looking men. CONSTABLES TAKE A HAND. The warrant was placed in the hands of the Sheriff for service about 2 o'clock, and ? McCarty and West went along with I Deputy Sheriff J. fi. Gail,ard, who was in ' charge of the office, Sheriff Sanders being I sick at bone. McCarty and West led the way to the old building in the rear of the Court Bouse, bnt found the frontdoor locked, and no one within. Going to the rear of the house, both door and window were lound closed. McCarty and West found . ^teething here that they did not expect, and that was a large mastiff, and they retreated on a roo without wailing to learn whether she would bite or not. From this place they went at once to Mr. Morris's borne on Council Street. Mr. Morris came at once to the door when Mr. Gaillard rapped, and the papers were served on bim. He told Mr. Gaillard that he bad no objection to accompanying bim to the sheriffs office, and would open up his store-room for inspection. He also stated that several barrels containing whiskey would be found, but denied having violated the law. From the Sheriffs office Deputy Gaillard, McCarty and West and Morris went to the house in rear of the Court House, and Morris unlocked the outer doors and the doors to the ?oner rooms, and McCarty and West inspected the whole place. When the inspection was completed and the constables expressed them? selves as satisfied, Mr. Morris re-locked the inner doors and told everybody to get out of .??be place; and he was informed that he must return to the Sheriffs office. McCarty who was very perceptibly under the influence of liquor was slow about getting out and Mr. Morris told him, directly, to get out, and fol? lowed his order up with a push 'bat sent M ?Carty, down the steps in a hurry. A considerable crowd had collected by this time to see what was going on, and on the way back to the Sheriffs office the boys guyed the.constables severely, but they took kas?f tber were accustomed to such treat? ment. Tri^l^Justice Goodman was waiting at the Sherri's office and was ready for the preliminar:- hearing, but no warrants had been issued*for .witnesses, nor bad witnesses been notified to be present. While deputy Gaiilard and bis assistants were notify inj? the witnesses, Trial ..?Justice Goodman and Maj. Marion Moite, attorney for Mr. Morris.agreed to have rbe heariag at-4-o'clock, and'-k Morris wa? seLfiee-antil that hour. THE LAID ,-ORDERED. In a short time Assistant Attorney General Buchanan, accompanied "by McCarty, West aud Holloway, came to tue Sheriffs office and said that the liquor foand in Morris's place must be seized. He and his constables went forthwith to Morris's store room, and the door was kicked open by West at -his order. No effort was-made to. find Mr. Morris, for the purpose of obtaining the keys, and the entrance into the building was effected in rough and rather boisterous manner. The liquor was stored in a room ia- ibe end of the building next towards the old post office and the door leading from the,-tntrance room to this room was locked. McCarty went into the back yard and returned with a hoe with which be attacked the ucl ta. .of the door, but without success. West^euured a hatchet and was also at work on the.,door. McCarty ?eat to a back window, endeavored to break into the store room through it, but before success crowned hts hall-tipsy efforts, West bad, with his little hatchet, pried.jibe locks of the door, and McCarty ..was cal ?td from his window-breaking to heir* se?ze and move the liquor. Holloway was Stationed at the fa:nt door leading to the piazza and. kepi back the crowd which .gathered rapidly, '-filled the piazza and collected on tbs square ic front of the building. In tbs entrance room were Mr.-?aehanan, the reporters, who were admitted through the courtesy.af ?Mr. Bachanan, and one or two others. .-HAppr M'CARTT. Ia;tbe other room were McCarty and West hard ?Al ..work rolling out the barrels to. Holloway, who received and . headed tbcr. ap on the piazza. The barrels, bottles and jugs were carried out in a huzzy .and ao .inventosy taken. McCar? ty's liquor bad loosened bis tengue: and be would holler out every now and then, 'iO.*), Lord y bow happy I be !" When be: would go to the front door with his burden! be would talk back to the-crowd oe the?| piazza and Mr. Buchanan, more than once,; told bim to shut up, and go on with bis work. West took a whiff of each unsealed bottle ;that came into his hands, and the* expression of the old fellow's.face indicated; that even the odor of Mt. Vernon audUid Pep-, per tickled his ibroitt. Some one to say, "wbat'll you havt?" a glass, a little water? and the crook of the ready elbow, was ali that was necessary to compleie a scene of; spirituous beatitude. Bul lhat day had passed. and West could but see the golden, beaded liquid through a flisk, wistfully. When tue last of the liquor had been re? moved to the piazza, the more difficult task of transferring it to the sheriffs cilice was undertaken. GUYING TEE CONSTABLSS. The crowd had grown larger and larger and ;? th? {?living ?nd j-rerins of the constables more' boisterous. XV nen .the constables commenced to move the barrels the crowd pressed around and pushed one another against thecoi-subles, iuierfering with their work and frequently almost shoving tb> ni down. Mr. Buchanan spoke to the crowd once in the writer's hear? ing, saying, ''That the constables were oih" :ers of tb* law and must not be interfered with." Mr. Buchanan's remarks were received re? spectfully, and not once during the day wn3 there any disrespect shown bim, or auy at? tempt to include bira ia the genera] guying that the constables were receiving. Duriug the whole time the removal was going on this pushing aud shoving and guying continued. Mr. Gaillard exerted himself to protect ?he co tis tab les, and in this be was assisted by several tentleraen. On one occasion Mr. G tillard h?liseif was shuVtd against McCarty woo turned with an oath and lifted a two gallon j?:g to strike Mr. Gniilard. But he was prevented, aod r **as fortunate for him that he was. The police ?wo ot whom were ou duty, were asked io keep back the crowd and protect the con- J stunts, ?nd ili*-y rendered s:sme assistance, , but at no time was the crowd peremptorily [ ordered to clear the way for the cons aides. I 4 fter the jug episode between McCarty aud ? dr. (Gaillard, McCarty was relieved from duty for a time, and it was just about this nra*; .r;r a little later thal .\ir. U.jchanban, noding orders and commands of no avail in makicg .\I<.G?t."ty attend strictly to his busi? ness slapped bim in the mourn, which the hireling constable took without resentment. It may bave been tha? he was too drunk to real zt lae blow thai a gentleman considers the cost disgraceful insuit. INVENTORY TAS RN W\? n the removal was accomplished and ; a'l th- hquor was stortd in the sheriff s office, ; lbs .constables wete.hoi and tired, boin by the ; l.iuor ot moving the barrets ami the attentions ? of the crowd. An inventory of the stu seized was made and then formally turne over to Deputy Gaillard for safe keeping, wi gave J. W. Holloway a receipt for it. The following is a correct list of the artic! seized : Part barrel xxxx rye whiskey, nearly ful sealed. Part barrel whiskey, 1 or 2 gallons,, sealer Part barret whiskey, 5 or 6 gallons, sealer Part half barrel whiskey? nearly fall, ui seared. Part half barrel gin, 4 or 5 gelions, sealei Four 2-gallon jugs whiskey, sealed. Three 2-gallon jugs, empty. Five ouart bottles whiskey, sealed. Two part bottles "whiskey. Twenty-focr bottles champagne beer. Part bottle Rhine wine. One bottle sherry. Funnels, peck of ?o'rks, empty bottles, oi whiskey glass. P .^ISQ AND SHOVING AGAIN. When this bad been completed the time ft holding the preliminary hearing bad alrea? arrived and Mr. Morris was on hand. Ms Moise was at his office, and West, the coi stable, was sent to inform him that Tri Justice Goodman was ready for the hearinj The crowd was packed closely in front of lt office door, which was guarded by a depui sheriff. As soon ss West got outside tl office, the pushing and shoving process beg? again, the crowd surrounding and keepic pace with bim. It is said that West wi pushed down more than once, and finally bs to return to" the protection of the sheriff office under the escort of a gentlemen. Nearly all the witnesses named in tl warrant were on band, and all these emphat cally denied any knowledge of the charge, ac as they are gentlemen of well known cha acter, credence must be given to their asse tions Two of those mentioned in the warral as beiug material witnesses went directly I Mr. E. M. Pittsand upon their representatioi of ignorance of any of the alleged facts the names were omitted from the list, and tl writer was requested by Mr. R M. Wilsoi a member of the Board of Control, to omit tl names of these gentlemen should the list i witnesses be published. 4 DETECTIVE" JONES. Mr. Buchanan inquired a number of timi for T. J. Jones, one of the material witnesses but no one could locate the person. After lime Mr. Buchanan described the man, and ? kind of clothes be had on when he last sa bim. The particular Jones wanted wt at once located. He is the same ma that formerly acted as special detective fe the C. S. & N. R. R., and for some time bs loafed around town doing nothing. But b could not be found anywhere. No one ha seen bim during the day and no one coul say where be was. HEARING POSTPONED. After waiting sometime for Jones tb hearing was postponed until Monday 1 o'clock and Mr. Morris gave bond for $30 with Mr. Perry Moses as surety. All the wit nesses present were released on their persona recognizance, ?md the case against Morris wa at an end for the day. But the trouble grow ing out of the raid and the manner in which it was conducted had commenced, and it WAI not au easy matter to stop it instantly There was a large crowd (at least two hun? dred, largely bo>s) collected in front of th Court House aod they continued guy ing the constables who remained under th< Court House portico. McCarty 6nally grew angry and resented tbe treatment and a 6gh< was the result. McCarty was struck severa times, and it is said he was knocked dowe just in front ol the Simonds Bank. Thi police interfered and stopped tbe row, bul made no arrests. The constables left tbi street and went to the dispensary, whenct Holloway went by back streets to the A. C L. depot to take the train. After tbe constables left Maiu Street th? crowd remained talking over the occurencei of the day, and finally what was considered a personal insult was passed between a young man of this city and one from the^country. Several blows were passed before they coule be separated by friends. This engendered more ill feeling and at one time a general row seemed immineut. Happily this was averted. No arrests were made. EGGS 3ERVKO AT THE TRAIN. Holloway, or "Whiskers" as he.is mon generally known here, went to the depot by the back ways, but some of the crowd gol wind of it, and when he started to board tht train at the water tank they got after him Trsd-per?^d^him with rotten eggs. He drew hts revol^r7*t??*siid-((B^^t^rT*;-?r. R. P. Monaghan went up to Holloway and told the boys to stop, which tney did. But as soon as Hollway started to board the train again, the egg throwing recommenced, a nd Holloway agaiu drew his revolver, but the boys con? tinued throwing the eggs until be got inside the train. Here he drew his revolver again, and made a motion as if be was going to use it through the window. When West aud McCarty left the dispen? sary to go to their boarding house a crowd escorted them, aod gave them a parting dose of guying. There was another constable ia the city that day, and this assertion is made upon the statement of J. R Fant, acting Chief Consta? ble, who has been in the city since Thursday night. This fourth constable kept himself incognito. AS TO THE CITY AUTHORITIES. The city authorities hive beeo severely condemned by some, for not proteciing the constables, while others as strongly maintain that it was no affair of the Mayor's, that the Sheriff, who is a higher official than the \?ayor, bad the matter in band ?nd it was his duty to protect them; that he coaI? have sworn in any number of deputies that might have beeu Deed*d. as he has power to do so, and that unless the Mayor bad been direct? ly appealed to for assistance Ibat he would have had no right to interfere. There is some force in this argument; but it does not entirely clear tbe skirts of the police and the Mayor. There was sufficient disturbance on the street at any time during an bour or more to have justified arrests for disorderly conduct, and it is the writer'* opinion that this should have been done, as it would have stopped the disturbance and pre? served the reputation of the city. Ii is no excuse for the disturbance that the constables belong to that low and contemptible class of spies, who hire themselves to go out among the people, worm themselves into their con? fidence, share ia the violation of the law, if neceesary to obtain information, and then inform. These men are hireling spies and as such are coutemptible, but their presence in tbe city, nor even the unjustifiable breaking ia of ?he doors of the Morris place, after it hud been once willingly opened, is not a valid excuse for the disorder that was per? mitted on the streets. .Those who participated in the demonstration against the constables, injured the reputation of ?he city and seriously injured Mr. Morris, whether he be guilty or innocent, for it fur? nished the desired preu-xl for an application for a?change of venue ; and by this change tbe adminisiration hopes to be ?hie to con? vict the accused by the birei testimony of constables and spies The disturbance of Thursday is to be regretted tor many reasons, and nearly everyone begins to see il in that tight. COUNTRY AGAINST T9WN. A more regretable feature of the whole affair ?c the attempt that is being made to stir up anew the feeling of country against town, a3 is being done for selfish purposes thai are as injurious lo the inieiests of i?oih country and town as discreditable to ihose making the effort. The question of town and country d'-es not enter iuto ?his issiie,and it ts ouly by the most labored H floris thai the carcass of this dead qu*-s ion, that never existed save in ti>e mi.jds of demagogues, ?a dragged in by the very heels, asitwere. Those who are fanning this feeiing kuow the dishonesty of tbrir course Hud the falseness of their representa? tions. Thf.r know that a large majority of the people of Sumter, aud i&e most substan? tial people at that, coti?euiu the occurrences of Thursday, and that their influence is being used io allay the lemaining excitement. They know that had it not bee? for the influ? ence of such iceo. lhere would have been serious trouble on Thursday. LATKK DEVELOPMENTS. Aesistant Attorney General Buchanan vetiirned to Columbia Friday morning on il)e S.3f> train and bas not bee? back since. Mr. J. It Fant, neting Chief Constable came over ou Thursday night and has been in the city ginee that time investigating the action of the constables on Thursday and the treatment tney received. Mr. Fant says that reports sent to headquarters in Columbia must have been greatly exaggerated to create the impres ! sion that prevails thf-re. A number of other constables came here under ordets on Friday and Saturday. Cn Saturday Solicitor Wilson came here and spent all day at work on the case. Holloway returned on Saturday, and ii was believe 1 th u other raids would be made, and ! that a large number of warrants for those ! present during '.'ne disturbance ot Thursday, I would be issued. Tiieie was a large crowd in t the city, and everybody waited to. something j to bajaca. Hut nol'-iog happened. Ii wad . generally understood that on Monday there would be excitement enough to satisfy everybody. KORE CONSTABLES A SRI VS. When Monday morning arrived there were still more constables in the city, nod it being Saleday there waga large crowd on hand to see what was going to bapppu. The following constables were here : J.R. Fant, of Ander? son ; J C. Elliott, of Lancaster; J. W. Hol? loway, of Columbia; C. McCarty and M. S. West, of Ertgefield* Franks and Kane and several others. SOLICITOR WILSON. Solicitor Wilson and Trial Justice Good? man were also here, bot no warrants were placed iu the hands of the sheriff. When the time arrived for holding the preliminary hearing of the Morris case, T. J. Jones and John Sessford, both said to be important witnesses, were not on band, and a diligent search of the city failed to reveal their whereabouts. Jooes wa8 seen on the streets Fri? day by a reliable party and told that if he was not the spy who made out the case against Morris, he had bet? ter come up town and say so, for the people were down on him about it. He denied the charge, but refused to come up town. Since theu be has not been seec in the city. After an unfruitful wait of several boors and it being impossible for the bearing to proceed without the missing Jones, Mr. Morris de? cided to waive the hearing and let the case come up on its merits at the next term- of court. He gave bond in the sum of $500 with Or. S. C. Baker and Mr. Moses Green, as sureties. The crowd lingered around the Sheriffs office until after 6 o'clock waiting for the arrests, and the writer was told about that time by Mr. J R. Faut that the affidavits were all prepared and Mr. Goodman was working on the warrants, but that an effort was being made to have the matter quashed. At any rate, he said, the arrests would not be made until morning. ARRESTS MADS. Yesterday morning the warrants for the following persons were placed in the Sheriff's bands for service : D. Rcseodorf, Newman Rosendorf, Dave Morris, Joseph Jones, John Dorrity, James Love, Ernst Bultman, Willie Bultman, Thomas Miller, Prince Dixoo alias Dixon Davis, Isadore Martin alias Zule Martin, Jesse Wilson, Isadore Manheim and Sylvester Williams Mr. Gaillard* proceeded at once to serve the warrants and in a short time had all the par? ties, with two exceptions, in the Sheriff's office. Several of them went to tbe office of their own accord as soon as they heard that warrants had been issued for them, and saved Mr. Gaillard the trouble of hunting them. They ail waived the preliminary and gave bond as follows : Ernst and Willie Bultman, $400 each. E. W. A. Bultman, surety. D. Rosendorf and Newman R?sendorf, $300 each. J. W. McKiever, surety. Isadore Manheim, $300. R. P. Monaghan, surety. Thomas Miller, $300. W. H. Com? mander and W. B. Boyle, sureties. Jules Martin, $300. R. P. Monaghan, surety. Joseph Jones $300. R. P. Monaghan, surety. John Dority, two warrants, $300 ou each count. R. P. Monaghan, surety. Jesse Wilson, colored, $300. Z. E. Walker, surety. Sylvester Williams, colored, $300. R. P. Monaghan, surety. James Love is a railroad man and was out on his run. He came io late ia the afternoon and gave bond, $300, R. P. Monghan, surety. . Prince Dixon, alias Dixon Davis, did not appear, and no one knows the person wanted. A demand was made oo Mr. Gaillard that he appoint one or more of the constables to make the arrests, but he refused to do so, for he knew that as certain as the constables at? tempted to make arrests there would be trouble. He said that he would make all arrests himself and have no trouble about it. In this decision his attorney coincided. The Chief Constable gave Mr. Gaillard a letter from Gov. Tillman which said that it would depend largely upon the Sheriff whether a disturbance occurred or not. Con? stable Fant had full instructions from Gov. Tillman and a part of the program was that constables should Ke deputized to make the arrests. This was insisted upon, but Mr. Gail lard firmly refused, as be did not propose to allow a row to be precipitated by the con? stables and then be held responsible fer it, just lo please Gov. Tillman. WHY DELAYED There is yet one thing to be told, and that is why thearresta were not made Monday. Those wbo were ordered to prepare the warrant?, and even McCarty aid West who made .the affidavits concluded that it would be wise, in view of all the circumstances of the case to drop ibe prosecution of those engaged in the disturbance on Thursday, and telegraphed to headquarters for permission to do so. This was refused. A second and perhaps a third rowsage was sent with the same result. A telegram was then sent urging that the arrest be delayed until a full statement of the case could be seut by mail. This was also refused aud the arrests were or.'ered to be made. Therefore the arrests were made yesterday morning as related. Whether anything will result from the arrests remains to be seen. But al! facts being known it is barely probable that the eases will be pushed. Men are made manly, th? old made young and vigorous hy Magnetic Nervine Sold by Dr. A. J. China.
