There are two charges against him, and Commissioner Cal? vert fixed the bond in each case at Si.500. A postoffice detective has been here two weeks working up this and other cases. Barrett bad not given bond at sunset. Marshal Kirby has bim in safe keeping. Darlington's Whiskey War. D ? BLISS Ton, August 4.-Special to the Han and Courier. Another phase of the "battle of the kegs" developed here to? day. On Wednesday a keg of beer was sent to J. M. James, which was seized on its arrival and placed in the hands of the sheriff. To-day another came for Mr. James and .was delivered to him by the Atlantic Coast Line agent. Mr. James carried the beer to bis saloon, where it bas remained undisturbed all day. The Coast Line agent, it is understood, says be will deliver all freights to consignees shipped from beyond cur State borders. Judge Hudson bas filed a supplementary opinion to bis last decision in the Darlington Dispensary case. He says among other things that Justice Pope's order was not intended to dissolve his previous order o' injunction, but was intended to stay tbe proceedings. He also says that Mr. J. Buckner Floyd, dispenser, was guilty of contempt in violating bis order of injunction and in violating Justice Pope's writ of superseder. Floyd's contempt is an honest misconstruc? tion of the law and Judge Hudson's supple? mentary opinion does not alter the status of the case.

Governor Tillman ha? opened an ordnance department for the State con? stabulary. He says that he is tired, very tired, of having State officers insulted, and that nc less ?t is stopped somebody is going to get hurt. There is a drawer full of 42-calibre revolvers with which the taming is to be done. Just as the newspaper men were about to leave the Executive chamber Governor Till? man got up and walked over to a cabinet and opened a drawer. In it was a lot of belts; then another drawer was opened and in it were a lot of late Colts army revolvers, great big ones. When Governor Tillman was asked what they were for he replied : "Look at Sections 517 and 518 and you will see." "How many, have you Governor," I asked. "Oh, all we need. They won't rotten-egg any more State constables." "Is that what they are for?" "That's one thing they are for. I'm going to see that they are not ill-treated. I'm going to issue instructions that they should use them whenever it is necessary." Then I asked Governor Tillman if he had enough pistols to go the rounds, and be re? plied : "There are a great many constables who are not doing any arresting ; but there are plenty more where these come from." Just as the reporters were going out Gov? ernor Tillman remarked, pointing to a small wooden box. "Thar is a box of cartridges." lt was suggested that Governor Tillman was trying to scare people by the newspaper accounts, but he promptly replied : "I'm going to issue orders for the first one of tbem to snoot when he is struck. I'm not going to allow the State's constables to be made dogs by the barkeepers and their tools. There has got to be a stop put to this busi? ness." The pistols were secured upon a requisition upon the Adjutant and Inspector General. Governor Tillman seems to be very much in earnest and he is going to do everything in his power to see that the constabulary has as pleasant a time as possible while undergoing the.unpleasant duties they have undertaken. The constables at Sumter and Charleston will no doubt be among the first to be supplied with these minia .ure Gatling guns. WASHIKGTON^LET TEE. WA?HIHGTON, August 7, 1893. If today was not the proudest day Speaker Crisp ever saw his looks belied him, and be must differ from the average man. His first election to be Speaker of the House-an office only second in authority and dignity to that of President-was the end of one of the bit? terest contests ev*r waged within party lines and now, after being unanimously nominated for the position by the party caucus he is for the second time elevated to the honorable position. It was a personal triumph of which any man might well be proud, and which few men have attained. The following officials were also elected by the House : Clerk, James Kerr, of Pennsylvania (re-elected) ; Sergeant at-Arms, Herman C. Snow, (ex-Congressman ) of Illinois; Doorkeeper, A. B. Hurt, of Ten nesee ; Postmaster, Lycurgus "Dalton, of Indiana, (reelected) : Chaplain, Rev. S. W. Haddaway, of the District of Columbia. Vice President Stevenson presided over the opening session of the Senate, which was a short one, as President Cleveland's message will not go in until tomorrow. There were several good reasons why a large attendance was not expected at theopeo ing of the extra session. There was no con? test over the Speakership and many members of the House took no interest in those over the ..ther officials; still, the per cen tage of mem? bers present was about the average for the first day of a session. Ali the members have been beard from and they will all be in their seats before the House is ready to get down to real business, which it cannot do until Speaker Crisp has completed and announced the com? mittee assignment, for the very simple reason that none of the bills introduced can be acted upon until then. Speaker Crisp is loosing no time and just as soon as he can get the committee assign ments completed he will announce them, but there is not much probability that it will be earlier than next week. The proposition has been made that Mr. Crisp follow the example set by President Cleveland, in announcing the members of his cabinet as fast as they were selected, and announce the committees as fast as they are made up, so that they may get to work on the bills as fast they are introduced ; but the suggestion is hardly practicable. There is so much dove-tailing necessary in assigning the members to committees that the committees are all practically made np at about tbe same time. President Cleveland returned to Washing? ton Saturday afternoon and spent Sunday quietly at his suburban residence. He says he never felt better, and he certainly looks to be in the most robust health. He is very confident that the legislation of the extra session will be satisfactory. Fits, dizziness, hysteria, wakefulness, bad dreams and softening of the brain quickly cured by Magnetic Nervine. Sold by Dr. A. J. China WANTS.

Are You Going to Fair ? the "World's If so, see that your ticket reads via Cin? cinnati aod the C H. & D. and Monon-the acknowledged "Worlds Fair Route." The only line out of Cincinnati connecting with E T. V. & G. and Q. & C. train No. 2, arriving Cincinnati 10:30 P. M. A solid train carrying through sleepers from Jackson? ville, Savannah, Birmingham, Atlanta, Chat? tanooga, Macon and New Orleans via E. T. V. & G., Q. & C , C H. ? D. and Monon Route to Chicago. You can stop over in Cincinnati if your ticket reads via the C. H. & D. and Monon Route, by depositing same with the Merchants' and Manufacturers Association, Chamber of Commerce Building, corner of Fourth and Vine Streets, one block from Fountain Square (the C. H. & D ticket office is in the same building.) This enables you to visit the picturesque ''Queen City" at no additional cost, and special efforts will be made to enter? tain strangers hospitably and reasonably. The universal verdict of the traveling pub? lic is that the Pullman Safety Vestibuled trains, running every day, "and Sunday too," via the C. H. & D. and Monon, between Cincinnati Indianapolis and Chicago, are without doubt tbe i4fioest on earth." These trains were especially built by the Pullman Company for this service, and embrace every improvement. Their magnificent coaches, luxurious smoking cars, superb sleepers, ob? servai;;: cars, compartment sleeping cars and unexcelled dining car-service, afford "all tbs comforts of home." ; Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-five miles the double tracks run through the very front door jards of the finest suburban homes io the country. Beyond Hamilton and up to Indianapolis, the line is noted for its scenic beauty. A stop over at Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your ticket with the Secretary of the Commen?ai Club. This city is more worthy of a visit than almost any other of its size in the West, ; and offers the greatest inducements to travel? ler and tourist. Between Indianapolis and Chicago the line traverses the very best agri? cultural and commen?ai territory, and the ride is one of unparalleled comfort and beauty. Bear in mind that the C. H. & D. and Mo? non Route trains all run via Burnside Cross? ing, from which point the Illinois Central suburban trains run direct to the World's Fair Grounds every moment. At Englewood connection is made with the electric cars, which run every fire minutes to the grounds, bot we recommend all persons to go directly into tbe Dearborn Station, which is located io the heart of the city and from which all street car lines converge, then go directly by car or cab to your hotel or board? ing place. First locate yourself; koow where and how yon are to live while in Chi? cago. Get the locality firmly fixed in your mind,, before goiog to the World's Fair by i any of the numerous convenient ways ; cable I cars, electric roads, elevated railroad, Illinois Central R. R., soburbao trains and tbesteam | boats afford tample accommodations for all j possible visitors, and it is * but five minutes ! ride from tbe business portion of tbs city to the grounds. Take your breakfast down town, buy your lunch at the grounds, and take your supper down town. If you will follow these suggestions you will save money. The facilities for serving lunch at the World's Fair Grouuds are extraordinary aod the prices are cheaper than at your own borne, but breakfast and supper should be taken down town, or at your boarding house. The World's Fair is already the most astounding and stupendous spectacle ever attempted by any people, and a days visit will afford more delight and instruction than can possibly be obtained in any other way of by the same ex pendiure of money.

We still have the reputation of keeping the finest and best stock of Fancy Groceries to be found in Middle South Caro? lina, and at prices as low as at which inferior goods are sold, REMEMBER If you are not trading with us, you do not live as well as your neighbor who does, while your living costs you as much.

He may have the best fishing tackle, the finest of rods, and the bait that should take ; but if he does not fish in the proper waters, he will not catch what he expected. The ^man that wishes to insure his life and seeks the best policy, may visit In? surance Companies and yet measurably fail in his fishing. He may be told this is the best pond, that the best stream, but when he goes to an Agent of the PENN MUTUAL LIFE he will know he is in the proper place to get the prize fisk Penn Mutual Life. Assets-$20,250,000. Surplus-$2,600,000. There is no stronger Company in the country, few so strong. The relation of Assets to Liabilities shoxcs this ; bvt t?tere are ot?ter elements of strength in in? telligence, capacity and integrity of management and a prolonged experience. For further information address, A. C. PHELPS, Oen'J Agent, SUMTER, S. C.. HARRIS' LITHIA WATER, HARRIS' LITHIA SPRINGS., S. C. After ft loner and varied experience in the use of Mineral Waters from many sources, both foreign and domestic, 1 am fully persuaded that toe Harris Liihia Water possesses efficacy in the treatment of afflictions of the Kidney and Bladder unequaled by any othe* water of which I have made trial. This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three years, during which time I have perscfibed it freely and almost uniformly with benefit in the medicable maladies above mentioned. When failure to relieve has occurred, I have imputed it to insufficient use of the Water, for ray experience teaches me that from one <o two quarts daily should be taken from two to four weeks to secure its full remedial effects. A. N. TALLY, M. D. Columbia, S. C., October 8th, 1892. CAMDEN, January 28, 1891 J. T. Harms, E.?q , Waterloo, S. C. : Dear Slr-I fm'd great benefit from the use of your Lithia Water. I consider it a fine tonic and general regulator of the digestion, as well as very efficacious in those diseases for which Lithia is considered somewhat of a soecifie. JUDCrE J B. KERSHAW. My wife has been using your Lithia Water and is very much benefit ted. I consider if in every respect equal to the famous Buffalo Lithia Water. Abbeville, S. C.
