State Liquor, Commissioner D H. Traxler has not allowed his case in the Baptist Church at Timmoosville to come to a trial, as did those charged in the Marion Street Methodist Church, Columbia, with asimilar offense. He has simply withdrawn from the church, and his withdrawal has been accepted. He is therefore no longer a member of the congregation. Mr. Traxler has returned to the city and was asked about the action of he church, which considered the matter Sunday night last. He said that when the charges were preferred he intended to make a defense and at thc first meet? ing appointed for the consideration of the case had it postponed to give him time to prepare his defense. "The meeting at which this matter was considered, however, was a spe? cial meeting," said Mr. Traxler. "When the meeting was called to order I read this to them : .? .Timraonsville, S. C., Oct. 21, 1893. .'. 'Timmonsville Baptist Church. *. 'Brethren : lt is with heartfelt re? gret that I am forced to sever my chnrch relations. I leave you with best wishes for advancement of our Master 6 work. I assure you no preju? dice is entertained against the de nomination for I can never be anythiog pave a Baptist. " 'My views have not changed from those expressed in previous letters. I have received thirty or more replies from able divines and Christian gentle? men all over the State touching my position, and tba majority express them? selves to my entire satisfaction This suffices me. I have therefore decided to abandon any further defense of the charges against me. " 'The result of a long trial, whether in my favor by a few votes or not would do me no good and the little gain it would afford might involve my denomination in endless trouble all over the State ; which ido not desire to see. "Under these circumstances I would rather suffer individually at your hands. " '? thank you all for courtesy shown me, and ask that my name be dis? missed from the roll by a motion with? out further trial. " 'Fraternally, " *D. H. TRAXLER 9 " Mr Traxler said: "I had a defence prepared that would have taken mc ?bout three hours to read, but after jonsidering everything I decided that he course I pursued would be best. [ bad canvassed the members and ibo?t half of them would have sus ained me. I couldn't see that a de? fense of the charges would have done ne any good, for ? did not care to win he case by only two or three votes. Such a result would have caused end ess trouble in the Baptist church in )ther. cases which may develop. I'm excommunicated, of course, but I am i Baptist still and could be nothing ?tee. "At the conclusion of the reading of ny letter a motion was made to ac? cept my withdrawal and it was unani nously carried. No attempt whatever vas made to push tho hearing of the ?ase against me and the whole matter lid not consume but a few minutes." The State Dispenser Dixon Disciplined. CAMDEN. S. C.. Oct. 23.-The barges against Dispenser Dixon, in he Littleton Street Methodist Church, vere passed upon by a committee yes erday. it seems that the church law nades it obligatory on the preacher in Large to report to the congregation ,uy oue who may be guilty of an al eged immorality, and the plan of pro edure and the trial for immorality is lirected to be the same as for intern >e ?ne*,. In this case the matter was eported to the congregation and was hen referred to a committee for trial, ccording to law. Mr Dixon did not tut in appearance, and was then ried itt his absence, thus preventing tim from taking un appeal in the case The committee found him guilty aud iis sentence was that he should be uspeuded until the first day of Jan tary, 1894, after which time, if he uakes a confession aud acknowledge? ment, and having quit the business of oiling whiskey, he will be reinstated u the membership of the church. Metropolitan Police. The views of Governor Tillman ou a uetropolitan police system for the ?ties of the State, is of general inter st. A Register reporter interviewed im on thc subject, and published thc allowing : The Governor did not express h i III - elf as being in favor of metropolitan olice as a principle, but he said it ppeared to him to be a necessity, for rhich the authorities of certain cities nd towns are themselves to blame. Thc situation is simply this : In Jharlcsfon tho people arc apparently in ebellion against State authority, efl ecially in connection with the dispcu iry law. The city authorities there in ieir spite against the dispensaries ven ignore their own ordinance gainst selling whisky without a l?? ense and are abiding and abetting the lind tigers. Thc Governor asked I ay or Kicken to have Chief of Police iartin enforce thc law, which he Duld have done far more efficiently . au any force of State constables and ithout cost to the State. This re? uest Mayor Ficken declined to comply Uh. In Sumter the city au?horities not nly took no steps to enfor^o the law ?t stood by and saw a crowd of men nd bo\s asault thc State's officials, and eep this up for several hours without taking a single arrewt even for disor erly conduct The Governor's position isthat where ie local authorities not only d?clin?! to nforce the law, but permit and even icourage its violation, then it. becomes ecessary to have officials who will en? tree the law, and over whom the tate will have control. He would pre r the cities and towns enforcing the law and maintaining peace and order if they would, withoat State interfer? ence. The Geveruor's idea ie to bate a system of metropolitan police appointed and operated somewhat after the man? ner in which the system is operated in Augusta, Ga , where the city has had metropolitan police for the last fifteen years. The plan is to have the police re? lieved from political obligations, either State or local. This can be done by the appointment of a coiumisoion in a town, composed of good men, regard? less of their politics, who are in favor of the dispensary law and in favor of the enforcement of all laws. This com? mission shall be entrusted with the ap? pointment of the police, and the police shall be amenable to the commission for the proper performance of all their duties, whether in connection with the dispensary law or not. These policemen can be removed any time for refusal to do their duty, or neglect or inefficiency. The police so appointed are to be taeat ed and paid by the cities just the same as if they were appointed by the city councils. The police so appointed would not be under the influence of local politicans and wonld cease to be a political ma? chine, as they are now made to be in many places. They would cease to have so much influence over elections, and their only claim to bold their po? sitions would be the faithful perform? ance of their duties. By this means the law would be enforced, and peace and order preserved and no barm done to anybody. The above is a general outline of Governor T llmau's ideas on this sub I ject. The details of the plan for the appointment and control of the metro i politan police and matters to be arrang? ed by the Legislature. The metropolitan police system was established tn Augusta upon a petition of the citizens, upon the grounds that the police of the city constituted a reg? ular political machine, and mainly for that reason they were inefficient The new system, so far front overthrowing local self-government, establishes it upon a firmer basis than before, for by it ?every one is made to obey the law So the people of South Carolina ned not look upon this thing with so much alarm. -i ? ? - He Held the Kegs. SPARTANB?RG, S. C., October 25 - There was a direct clash between the State liquor constabulary and the South? ern Express Company here today, with disastrous results to the constables. After the train from Atlanta came in, the ex? press messenger was receiving packages. There were several boxes on his trucks when four men stepped qp and demand? ed them. Messenger Thomas refused to give up the packages? but the con? stables insisted. Thomas shoved the foremost one off and placing his band on his hip pocket, ioformed the men that no man should take packages from bis possession without legal process. Pink Martin, of Laurens, who was captain of the constabulary? thee threw back his coat and displayed a badge. He said he had a commission from the governor. Thomas told him badges would not go with bim. The constables order the goods to remain at the depot until he got further orders and went to the telegraph office. Bu; the boxes were carried to tbe office and the con? stables went through the form of de? manding them from the agent. He ordered them out. About dark Constable P. H Martin went before a trial justice and swore out a search warrant, which was served by the sheriff, and a keg supposed to con? tain whiskey was secured. The other packages had been delivered in the re? gular course of business. - ll I Many Escaped Prisoners. The authorities of the South Carolina Penitentiary have had printed a small book containing tbe names, description, etc , of 412 convicts, who nave escaped from the institution from August 1, 1867, to October 1, 1893 A reward af $25 each is offered for the capture of the prisoners. The books will be sent to police offi? cials throughout the Uoited States, and it is thought will result in the return of a number of jail birds Of he 412 fully 350 are negroes, and ?he most of them were in for larceny of some kind. There are, however, a number of murderers enjoying freedom. - A Practical Politician. The faction in this State opposed to nil mao have tiied for four years to whip him out, and have made a misera? ble failure ol it. Now Senator Butler wants to try his hand and they want to lesen him before the battle begins. It )uts us in mind of the "doc in the nanger policy : they cannot do it hemselvcs and don't want any oue ilse to do it. Common sense would lictate that they give Butler full swing t seems to us. The Greenville Daily News says, apro >os of this subject : Our advice to the an- 1 i-Tillman people-and the Tillman peo >le, too, for that matter-is to keep cool 1 ind letthier hair grow.

EDGDEFIELD, S. C.. Ott. 16 -An Observer reporter to-day saw Ex Governor John G. Sheppard at Edge field and had some talk with him, on the features of the present administra? tion at Columbia. "Do you think, governor, that Governor Tillman will execute his plan of creating a metropolitan po? lice in Charleston and other cities of the State?" ioquired the reporter. "I don't believe he can do it. I doubt if he would dare attempt it, if the Legislature would authorize it He will pile on one straw too much before long if he continues his methods. The legislature, however, will surely not follow Tillman to the ends he would carry the people of the State if allowed." "What will be the result of Judge Hudson's decisions as to the constitution? ality of the dispensary law?" "They will probably be reversed by the State Supreme Court." "Will there be any way of getting the question before the Supreme Court of the United States, end what would be the result of that ?" "1 think it may get there, and if it does I think the United States Supreme Court would sustain Judge Hudson's decision " "What will be the outcome of the dispensary experiment, governor ?,; in? quired the reporter of the ex-governor. "It is bound to fall," answered Governor Sheppard 7 'The law might have been made a good one if it had been executed as many member;} of the Legislature intended it should be wheo it was passed. It is already past the support of any honest prohibitionist by beiog turned and strained into a revenue measure, and is not being in any way operated as a prohibition bill. Tillman promised a reduction in taxes. He has not made any re? duction, but bas a number of ex? pensive spies all over the State. Hy ex? pense and energy there has been given some appearance of headway, but neither the expense nor time heretofore spent on it can be indefinitely continued. Then the wbole thing must fail to pieces, and it undoubtedly will do so and bean ignomininious failure, in this town of Edgefield several reputable citizens signed an application for Mr. Davis as dispenser, if there was to be a dispensary at al), and these signatures were construed to be a petition for a dispensary, instead of simply recom? mendations of a man for dispenser. In Laurens ? am told that about one-eighth of an acre of land was divided amongst sixty-one people to make them free? holders, in order to get the necessary signatures to establish a dispensary. "The Dispensary act was passed as a temperance measure but the excu cation of it is falsifying the spirit of the bill as honest temperance people intend? ed it The prohibitionists in this State are an intelligent lot of men and they will not tolerate a complete perversion ! of their moral influences for the pur? pose of raising money to relieve the administration of a very embarrassing situation about its promises to reduce taxes ; and this failure to reduce taxes becomes a tribute to the ability and hooee>ty of the past administration of the State government." "I intend to print the substance of this conversation in the Charlotte Observer" said the reporter. "I think it is best for me not to appear in print," said Governor Sheppard, "and ? prefer that you would not do it for the reason that in the past I have said whateevr I have had to say of Tillman's man? agement of public affairs in the presence of thc people and face to face with Tillman on the platform; and I think it would- be most de? cent and decorous to pursue the same course in the future. I prefer to wait till a proper occasion should require me to speak out and then I would prefer to do it on the stump and again in the presence of the people and the representatives of those whose views I oppose." "Might not the dispensary bill be modified to be a good measure ? Many people say the dispensaries are better than bar-rooms," said the re? porter. "I am in favor of a good law to control the liquor business, and I have some ideas on the subject which [ may formulate into a plau for present? ation to the people at some future thine, but [ am unalterably opposed to the State's going into the liquor business in any shape or form. I don't be? lieve in the principle of the thing, and still less can I tolerate such a business under the guise of a moral measure, when in fact it is a financial measure which is being forced upon communities whether the dispensaries are wanted or not and and when the impelling force iu the matter is the necessity the ad? ministration is under to raise revenue and not the cause of temperance or the good conduct of the people."-Char? lotte Observer. Governor Tillman's reasons for want- d tug the local government of certain a cities meddled with by the State are no h reasons at all There arc, in fact, no S conditions anywhere in South Carolina p which justify the suspicion that muni- y ?ipal authorities or police officers are in- ri Jifferent to their duty with reference to e ?he dispensary law. The only suspicion j si :hus far cast upon these officers has pro- ti needed from Governor Tillman as thc h lead of the whiskey-selling department n >{ the State government He has so st exercised the discretion with which the tl aw has invested him. in the matter of vi tppointirig special constables, as to in .how his owti unwillingness even to try j w he ordinary agencies which thc law di provides. He seems to have assumed mm hat the officers of the law could not be runted to enforce the law. That as- j umption underlies his apparent purpose o take from certain communities the j tianagement of their municipal eon- I ems, and create a force of pets and j limps who. not commanding publie re- ( peet or sympathy, could accomplish lit- } le as censervntors of the peace. The [ j -gislaiure, we believe, will require of ? Governor Tillman very good reasons for }. he innovation he appears to conten? \ late, before lending itself to his schein? .' Inch reasons he cannot furnish -Co- : ambit Journal '* ueatb of Judge Bond Judge Hugli L Bond, of the Uoited States Circuit Court, died at bis home in Baltimore yesterday, after a long illness. He was in the 65th year of his age, having been born in Baltimore, in December. 1828. He was gradual ed from the University of New York io 1848. aod was admitted to the Bar in Baltimore in 1851. In I860 he was appointed Judge of the Baltimore Criminal Court, and in November, 1861, he was elected by the people to that office, which he held during the war He lost his seaton the Bench in 1868, when the Democrats obtained political ascendancy in Marylaud, and returned to the practice of the law. In July, 1870, he was nominated by Presideot Grant to be Judge of the 4tb circuit of the Uuited States Court, which includes the States of Maryland the two Virginias and the two Carolinas, and was confirmed by thc Senate. He | held the office of Circuit Judge at the ! time of his death, but had been physically unable to discharge its j duties for a year or more j Judge Bond had few friends in South Carolina. Had he died twenty years ago his name and memory would have been held in lasting execration and, as it is. the best that can be said of him is that he will be remembered for the evil that he did. Judge Bond was not a good lawyer, but he had a vigorous mind. He was ? happy speaker, and a mau of wide reading and many genial accomplish? ments; but he was an unjust Judge. He was a relic of the war. He hated the South, he did not appreciate aod understand its people, he had a con? tempt for their traditions and customs and beliefs. He was not fitted by educa? tion, by residence or by temperament to fill acceptable the office which was vested iu him by President Grant as a mark of political favor, and while there were many in this part of his circuit who respected his ability and relished his humor, there were few, if any, who respected or trusted him. Judge Boud began his judical career in Baltimore in 1860. Appleton's Cyclopaedia of American Biography says of him : "After the massacre of national soldiers on 19th April, 1861, when the city authorities decided that no more national troops should be allowed to , pass through Baltimore, he charged the g. und jury that those who took part in , the riot were guilty of murder. The ! police com missioners made an order I ? forbidding the display of any flag : but the seventy-five loyalists that were1 arrested under this order for raising the j \ national standard were disehrrged on , habeas corpus by Judge Bond. In | later years, when several in ill kary com- j missioners undertook to sit in Baltimore i and try citizens for offences against the United States, be charged the grand i jury to indict the officers on these com- ' missions, because they had no jurisdic- j lion over persons uow in the miliitary < service of the Government, especially i when the civil Courts were open, i Shortly before the close of his term, I Governor Swann claimed the right to { remove the police commissioners and appoint others, and when the de facto commissioners fortified the station < bouses and armed the police to defend e their light tc the office, authorized his ( appointees to raise followers sufficient to f put the resisting commissioners out, and & sailed upon Presideot Johnson to send 1 Federal troops to interfere. Judge a Bond told Gen Graut who came to e nvestigate the sitution that the de $ acto commissioners would obey a 1 written order from the President c irought by a single soldier beariug the r United Stales flag; but that, if the I Federal authorities declined to interfere, ie would arrest the Swann commission irs and hold them to nail to keep the ? )eace, which was accordingly don??, v \(itr the emancipation of the slaves, J inder the revised Constitution of 1864 Q he slaveholders look advaotage of an ?ld apprentice Uw, and had the child- r en of the free negroes brought to the m Probate Courts aod apprenticed to i( hemselves. Judge B ind decided that C hese apprentices were held in iuvoluu- J ary servitude, and released, on habeas j, iorpus, all that were brought before t lim. He was a prominent member of io association for the educatiou of olored people, to which his friend, y Secretary Stanton, transferred ail the J ?arracks in Maryland for the purpose of c mildiog schoolhouses With assistance ?> rom The freedman's aid societies, J cbools were established in all the a ounties of the State, and Judge y iond visited every locality and made J peeches intended to overcome the .rejudice of the people against the chools. which frequently broke out in iolence. Ile lost his seat on the .ranch in 1868." etc. eic. lt is to be regretted that he was ever jr auy reason returned to the exercise f judicial functions. His chief claim 0 notoriety as a Judge rests upon his aanagement of the Kuklux trials in this ?tate in 1871-72. The memory of those ays is still fresh in the public mind, nd the means which were employed to u arass and humiliate the people of this c! tato. It will be seen by the biogra- * bical sketch of the American Cyclo- ri odia that Judge Bond was full of esources ; that he was not lacking in | it ?urage, and that he believed in a! trong government. I" the Kuklux ? c .?als when precedents were against him e set them aside; when the law did ot go far enough he stretched it to g lit the ends be bau in view ; when ie evidence was not sufficient to con ict he made it possible to have jurors 1 the box who would convict with or ithout evidence In delivering an ad ress to certain of theKuklux prisoners Highest of all in Leavening Powei ABSOUAl who had confessed their guilt, he at? tempted to indict ali the respectable people of South Carolina and make the world believe that they were at the bottom of the conspiracy. He was properly denounced for his speech, and from that time to the day of his death he lived under the displeasure of the people he bad so grossly slandered. But we do not care to say more to-day about Judge Bond and his life and times. Good or bad, his race is ruo. We ??sh that the record were other than it is. We hope that we shall not see hts like again.-The News sod Courier. Factsln Finance. In 1866 a bale of cotton at $100 paid fur five barrels of flour at $20 a bartel. Now a bale of cotton at $32 will pay for six barrels of floor at $5 a barrel with $2 left. With some artieles it is different. Coffee and quinine, made abroad, cost nearly as much in money as in 1866-67 and more in cotton, but a bale of cotton will buy very nearly, if not quite, as much sugar, calico and cloth now as 1867. Taxes and official salaries are as high now as they were then and they should not be so. A "reform" administration has been in control of this State three years with legislatures to suit it and has net corrected that evil and wrong. A radical gov? ernor's salary in 1870 represented thirty-two or three bales of cotton and Governor Tillman's salary repre? sents a hundred and six bales. That isn't the fault of the currency system. That i8 a wrong the reformers con ld right and if they would give their attention and efforts to it instead of clamoring for cheap money we would believe more in their sincerity. If Governor Tillman had voluntarily recommended a reduction of his own pay to $2,500 in consideration of the hard times and the burdens of the people, it would have been better evidence ot the reality of his sym? pathy for the downtrodden U*: payers than all the talk he could do between now and doomsday,-Greenville News.
