Tillman Mys he deprecates vio? lence ?nd the spirit of bitterness that is abroad io the State. We have no doubt he does, since it begins to appear thai this condition will now ?ajare instead of aiding his political aspira* tioas. In another col am n a Oil. Caaghman interview from The Augusta Chronicle is given. This was, no doubt, intend? ed as a benefit to Senator Butler. It makes interesting reading creased up as it is ; but concerning the benefit we have donbts. Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, who has been in ill health for a year or more, has announced himself a candi* date for re-election? thereby creating consternation in the Georgia thicket of Senatorial timber. All the aspirants thought the Senator too sick a man io pat in any of his hallelujah licks. Dr J. Wm. Stokes is a candidate for election to fill eat the unexpired term of Congressman Brawley. How many in " Sumter County have considered that Pr. J. Wm. Stokes will be a candidate for Congress iG this District at the general election? How do you like him ami what dp yon think of him ? We haven't a doubt bat that be will rna. Up to date there are fifty-nine dis? pensaries ta operation ia the State, being located ia thirty-one different counties. There are enough of them to make pretty good retaras, if business is like what it is claimed, aad the quarterly statements of their business is consequently all the more anx? iously looked te. Daring last week nearly 2.000 eases of liquors were shipped to the dispensaries tc the various sections of the State represent mg 30.000 quarts of liquor of varions grades. Gov Northen, of Georgia, has been qaite severely criticised for calling oat the troops to prevent the Corbett Mitcbeil fight in Georgia, and some objection has been made to paying the cost of the expedition. He declares that he will and can pay the wliole debt .at of his own pocket if it is neces? sary. The bill will amount to abont $5,000. It is aot probable that he will fad it necessary to pay the bill ; bat the incide ot suggests a thought : Gov. Ullman has never even hinted at paying any of the extra expense be has brought npoa the State-that $15,000 of extra lawyers fees for instance. The Wilson bill has passed the House of Representatives by a good majority. Only eighteen Democrats voted against the measure, and these were influenced by the protected interests of their con? stituents. The income tax goes with the bill as an amendment, and the two must run the gauntlet of the Senate. It is io the Senate, however, that the defeat of the bill is to be feared. If not possible to defeat the measure out? right, it can be amended and altered until worthless as a oon-protectioo dem? ocratic measure. As we look for bet? ter times and prosperity so must we hope for the best results with this bill. lt is a step io the right direction, as it will remedy many injustices inflicted by the Be publican 8 and equalise the bur? ?eos of the government The prices of South Carolina official liquors are being lowered. It has been said all along by many ardent advo? cates of tbe dispensary law. that the enforce m en i of the dispensary law as against the "blind tiger" business could aot be accomplished, unless the heavy profit feature was eliminated. That the State board considers that j the enemy of the dispensary must be j tackled right away is shown, says The State, by the announcement yesterday that there had been a redaction in prices. Wbea Commissioner Trax- j 1er was asked about the matter be said j a redaction had been made, taking effect Feb. 1, and he was then engaged crediting the dispensers up with such redactions on the stock on band. He showed his revised list. The reduction applies only to gallon packages, bat it extends through the entire list of X marked liquors. The redaction is 50 dents on every gallon. For instance, rye and corn whiskeys have, hereto? fore, bees sold by the gallon as fol lows : X, $3 ; XX, $3 50 ; XXX. $4.50, etc. : All these prices now have fifty ce ata knocked off them. . LEGITIMATE PBUITS. . Again this week we hate to oom meal on the Dispensary Law and the manner io which it ia being enforced. It is not a grateful task, for we are thoroughly sick of B. R. Tillman, that confessedly cold-blooded derna gogue and tyrant, and his whiskey law. There are other subjects we should mach prefer that are of serious impor? tance, and wheo serious topics failed we could turn to fish and snake stories, for the season is almost at hand. In? stead of such simple and harmless and entertaining topics, we ind it, each week, bur uopleasant task to present to our readers some new outrage upon law, good government or personal rights by the Governor of the State or his creatures. This week it is the killing of Craw? ford Baliew and serious wounding of his brother in-law. Moore, at Wellford, Spar tao barg County, by a posse of dispensary constables. Who these men were we do not know, having never beard of them before. They were poor men, small farmers or laborers, yet white men and citizens with dependent families. But being - poor men, of no influence and ?heir families oot able to go into the courts to protect their rights we suppose no more will be heard about the case. Or if anyone should undertake to make the slayers of Baliew answerable to the law. GOT. Tillman in bis position of supe? riority to the law cao pardoo them. Baliew and Moore may have been liquor sellers, they may have boen makers of moonshine liquor, as charged io the correspondence in the Public Printer's Register, for all we know. It maj be true that they were poor white trash and DO better tbao negroes, as intimated io some of the accounts of the bushwhacking, but if all of these charges were true, none of them would furnish io excuse for the maooer to which the men were shot down. There is no law permitting the killing of men suspected of orime. There seems to be DO reason for making the raid at Dight aod the reports of the affair say that the men were shot while attempting to escape. It is claimed that Baliew resisted arrest aod bad a pistol pointed at the constables when shot. If this be true, there is some excuse h? th? killing, notwithstanding the tact that the constables brought it on by going at night and shootiog Moore down while he ran. Blood and anarchy, murder and oppression are th3 legitimate fruits of the Dispensary Law and its system ot constabulary; which is in fact notbiog less than a standing army of desperate meo under the orders of Gov. Tillman These meo are armed to kill and can kill in security, koowing themselves to have nothing tc fear io the way of legal punishment so long as their com? mander has the pardoning prerogative. We sincerely trust the record of the next week will be no worse than that of the last. STATE Y. M. C. A.

Messrs. Bovkin, Canner k Co., Nos. ll and 13 N. Liberty St., Baltimore, Md., Dear Sirs': In reply to yours of the 7th inst , I would say I used the "Cerealite" bought of you, principally as a top-dressing on oats. Applied it about the lOtb of March, and in my opinion the yield was increased from 25 or 27 bushels per acre to 40 or 45 per acre. I was much pleased with tbe dress? ing. In 4 days after the application I could see a marked improvement in the growth and condition of the crops. The soil on which crop was grown is a light sandy loam, which, without fertilizer, would produce say, 25 bushels oats per acre, or 12 bushels coro. I used some of tbe "Cerealite" on corn, applied it at time of planting and was much pleased with the result. The corn grew off rapidly and matured early. I am much pleased with your "Cerealite," and will continue to use it. Yours very respectfully, E. MILLER BOYKIN. TOP-DRESS ALL CROPS WITH "Cerealite." FOR SALE IN SUMTER BY Ducker & Bultman.
