Politics Frighten tbe Pro? hibitionist?,. A DISPENSARY FIGHT. The Executive Committee and Its Action* The Prohibition convention has come , and gone. There was a lot of apeeeb 20?kiog and quires of resolutions were introduced abd passed bot the roost im por taut bas ic ess dace was the determination not to place a prohibition S tata ticket io the field. Tito cumber of delegates present was about 100,but the counties of Berkley, Beaufort, Chester, Chesterfield. Colle too. Georgetown, Kershaw. Picke os. Union, Williamsburg tod York were not represented. The convection organised io the afternoon by electing Coi J. A. Hoyt, chairman, and Kev. Mr. Herbert mod Mr. T. J. LaMotte secretaries. . Oap?. L. B. Childs, chai rm au of the executive committee made an address ol welcome, congratulating toe conven? tion on the Targe attendance. Variions committee a weis appointed and the convention took a recess nb til S :36 in order to enable tbe platform committee to prepare a platform. Owing to some mis un dsrst anding the committee did not meet until S :30 and then continued io session until ll. In the meanwhile the convention waited * and several resolutions were introduced. Among the most important' of these was one providing for the organization of prohibition, leagues . throughout the State. Another introduced by Mr. Gray was to the offset that it was the sense of the convention that a Sta :e prohibi? tion ticket should he nominated io the Democratic primarles. These matters were referred to tire commute on resolu? tions. The committee on platform came io at ll as prov isnolyct?se?Vr [tis under? stood that a lively fight had been going on over a proposition to et dorse the dispensary system. The aoti-dispensary crowd woo for the platform and not ooly did not endorse h. bot donoso ced all kinds of liquor selling. The following are the words of .the platform oo the subject : 1. We believe the sse of alcoholic liquors to result in an enormous in? crease of the death rate of our country, adding about ,1110,000 annually to the death rolL 2. We beria ve alcoholic liquors used as a beverage to be ooe of the most potent agencies in the ruin of moral character. 3. We believe at least th ree-fourths . of the crime committed in oar laud to b$ traceable to alcoholic liquors. 4. We believe the liquor traffic to be one great cause of the fearful financial depression now geoeralij felt in our country, since it annually d rai os about $900,000,000 from the pockets of the masses and instead of giving value in return paralyzes productive energy of an equal amauoi. ($900.000,000) thus making au annual loss of nearly $2,000,000,000 to the legitimate trade. 5. We believe traffic in that which is agaiost the'peace, good health, safety, commercial prosperity aad moral char acter of a community. State or nation to be io violation pf the real, rigks of men and therefore inherently wrong. 6..We believe all forros of license of the sale of liquor as a beverage to be morally wrong, and in violation of the highest purpose for which government exists. 7. We believe the State should pro? hibit absolutely the sale of liquor as a beverage and should provide for its sale only for medicinal, mechanical and sacramental purposes, with such regulations and provisions for enforce? ment aod penalties for violation, as may be expected to prove efficient. 8. We believe that to make any pro? hibitory law effective, the executive and other officers of the law should be jo foll sympathy therewith. The platform was uoaoimoosly adopted by s rising vote of the conven? tion. The fight ot the evening occurred wheo the committee oo resolutions re? ported Mr. Gray's resolution unfavora? bly hut recommended that steps be take? to nominate a ticket at once. From that OB until 2 o'clock the con? vention devoted its time to speecb makiog pto tad coo os thc qaeitioD of nomioation. The discussion took s wide range very few of tho speakers confining themselves to the question even is their longest speeches.. A som? ber of compromise measures were sug? gested but were rapidly voted down and st one time it looked ss if the nom? ination people had fros the fight. Those opposed te nomination thought it would bc inexpedient because the (arasera, who they contended were the backbone of the prohibition movement would sot leave the Beform party to note for prohibitionists against their own men. Those io favor of nomina? tions contended that politics shoold be laid aside and the fight shoold be made straight. These denounced the legisla? ture for not enacting a prohibition law, sod Mr. Jeremiah Smith said if tho dispensary was a prohibition law be was ready to quit the party. He con- i sidered the Supreme Court decision a godsend iu preventing the farther j establishment of contemplated State ? groggeries. Mr. S. A. Nettles tried to j defend the Legislature and told how thc House had done its duty but the Senate j had substituted the dispensary which he ; considered the next best thing. Dur- ! ing the course of bis speech he referred i to a talk be had with Gove rnor Tillman who said that he would enforce any law the Legislature might pass with all his power. He bad done so as no other j mao could, said Mr. Nettles, and be cheered but jost aa that died out tl were several distinct hisses which Nettles noticed and resented bj a bake. This was about the only ex ?og ioeident of the loog dreary night It was evident that the Tiilmai Prohibitionists were Ti liman it es si and the same may be said of the G servative Prohibitionists. That whole affair was ruo by politics Tory evident. Finally, Mr. John Lake offered a i olotion as a substitute for the nomi tioo resolution that the State Execul Committee formulate a series of- qu tiona to be propounded to all candids j to find out how they stood as to ! platform adopted in order that Prob tionists might be able to vote inte gently in the primary. Mr. Mercer introduced ao atnei ment that it was the sense of the ci veotioo that no State ticket should nominated. This with Mr. Lak resolution was adopted by a vote of to 16. It most not be supposed tba1 was adopted with that ease with wh it ts told. On the contrary there w motions to adjourn for fifteen miou to several hours ; motions to Jay on 1 table and other filibustering tactics ai of course, several speeches, but l convention had come to the conclusi that the speeches were too long and b limited them to three minutes. I with the passage of these resolutic the nominationists bad been knock out and an agreement to adjourn v quickly arrived at. Before adjourning the following e ecu ti ve committee was chosen, ea delegation selecting its own member : Abbeville. B. L. Stuckey; Aike Rev. J. C. Brown ; Barnwell, D.

For Secretary of State a oom ber o names have been mentioned, bot titer has' been no positive announcement o a caodidacy except by Senator John R Harrison, of Greenville, and Probat* Judge Hill, of Spartaoburg. Tb< Dames of Mr. Cunningham, of Chester of Secretary Dan Tompkins, and o others have been mentioned. Secre tary Tompkins, whose name was recen ri j mentioned, is developing strength foi the place. For Attorney General, the genera opinion seems to be that if Genera Buchanan wants the place he can get il without opposition.. For Treasurer, the name of Dr. W T. C. Bates is the only one prominent? ly mentioned. W. A. Nicholson, ol Union, and Colonel Wilie Jones ol Colombia, have been spoken of for the place but have said that they will not run if Dr. Bates is a candidate for re-elec? tion. For Comptroller General, there is no announced candidate. The name ol Jam ea Norton is the most prominent ol those mentioned. For Adjutant and Inspector General, Colonel John Gary Watts so far has the field to himself. General E. J. Dennis, of Berkeley, was nominated but will not be a candidate. Several Reform papers have nominated General Rich bourg, of this city, for the position, hat he baa made no positive announce? ment of his candidacy. For Superintendent of Education, the present officer, Hon. W. D. May? field, is likely to be a candidate. Pro? fessor Marchant, of Aiken, has an uOOOCec] Moself. Jobfi C. folley, of Greenville, has been spoken of. For Lieutenant Governor, Senator Timmarmao, of Edgefield, is the only avowed candidate, and may not have any opposition. Everybody knows the candidates for Gubernatorial honors. They are Senator Evans, of Aikeo; Comptroller General Ellerbe. of Marion ; Dr. Samp eon Pope, of Newberry, and probably Secretary of Stale Tindal. There was still some uncertainty yesterday about what Secretary of State Tindal in? tended to do about making the race. The friends who had called oo bim on Thursday and asked bim to make the race were waiting yesterday for his answer, which they felt certain would be favorable. Mr. Tindall candidacy is causing a great deal of talk aod there has been much specula? tion as to the effect it will have on the candidacy of the other aspiraots The public, which ig a good jp.dge of these things, can figure for itself what will be the result of Mr Tindal's being in the race.-Columbia Rey ister. --?^?K .???.? - 3,500 pieces of Sheet Music at 10c each, or 12 pieces for $1.

Bloody Deed of a Former Sumter Lawyer. BIRMINGHAM Ala., June 12.-Peyton G. Bodman, leader of Kolb's Popolite campaign io Alabama and a prominent lawyer of this city, occopies a cell io the city jail to-oigbt charged with the morder of Eugene Jeffries, the 17-year-old soo of ex-Mayor Jeffries. The tragedy occurred at 10 o'clock to-night in the saloon of the Florence Hotel. Late this afternoon Bowan, who is a great bulldozer and bluffer, was drinking with some friends in the saloon, when ex-Mayor Jeffries, who is an old and inoffensive man, entered. Bowman was talking in a loud tone of voice and, it is said, made an insult? ing remark to Col. Jeffries, who replied by saying that Bowman had bad a Confederate deserter for a law partner. The lie was passed, when Bowman struck Col. Jeffries on tbe bead, knocking him down. Ftieods separated them when Col. Jeffries went his way. Sugeoe Jeffries, son of Col. Jeffries, a mere stripliog, weigbiog cot over 100 pounds, bearing of the difficulty started out to find Bowmao, intending to have him apologize, so it 3 stated. Bowmao was still in tbe saloon drinking wbeo the boy started to eoter through the folding doors. The minute be put hts head inside Bowman snatched out u pistol and shot tbe boy tbrongh the neck, killing him instantly. Bowman was arrested and hurried off to the city jail. Within a few minutes a great crowd-had assembled at the scene and threats of lynch? ing were freely made. Indignation is at fever beat, but it is not thought that an attack will be made npon the jail. An eye witness to the shooting says it was a foul murder, and the people seem to be of one accord in thai opinion. Bowman claims that the boy was armed, but tbe statement is contradicted. One story is to the effect that John How? man, brother of the slayer, held theboy'while Bowman shot him, and they assert also that the pistol, it will be claimed the boy bad. was one now in the bands of John Bowman. Bowman has always been regarded as a dangerous man. The effects of the tragedy on the Kolk cam? paign will be most disastrous, as Bowman is Kolb's right hand man.- Columbia State, mm t t i mm $3 00 per Dozen !-$3.00 per Dozen for Cabinet Photos at Wioboro's Gallery, until the 1st of July.

These all, except Johnson, are '4 Reforme rs." The Spartan burg Herald predicts that the dispensaries will open again on July 28th. There is some ground for such a prediction. Governor Till? man is no fool, and it is not likely be would allow the dispensaries to re? main in statu quo as be has, unless be intended to open up business at the old stand, as soon as tbe legislature gave bim authority. The general sentiment seems to be that if we have the dispensaries they should be simply depots to dispense pure liquors, under certain restrictions, to citizeos at cost. Bliod tigers would die a natural death, aod citizeos would draw oo this central store bouse for the amount ? of liquor they needed for medicioat aod social purposes without carrying a stock at home.

Tillman call? ed atteotioo to this fact by a message to tbe Legislature suggesting an appropriation for their relief. The Legislature oeitber appointed a com? mittee to investigate nor made any appropriation. It would seem that tbe Legislature is to blame. But now that the people are appealed to we feel sure relief will be speedily forth coming bot severe criticisms of Miss Barton, it seems to us, are out of order.-New? berry Herald. Tom Watson.

The Military Court of Inquiry has completed the investigation of the refusal of the militia to go to Darlington, when ordered by Gov. Tillman, and OHS handed in a full report to Gov. Tillman. Tbe reports covers, all told, about 500 pages of typewritten manuscript, and is entirely too voluminoos for publica? tion. The following avnopsis of the findings of tbe court is taken from the Columbia Journal. As to Major Metis the court finds that his conduct was unbecoming an officer ?nd pre? judicial to military discipline io counseling the Governor's Guards not to go to Darling? ton. As to the Governor's Guards the court says Capt. J. H. Bateman was guilty of disobeying orders but in doing so he was influenced by a belief that to attempt to carry the company out of the armory would precipitate a riot. No other officer, or member was guilty of any disobedience of orders. Those members who threw down their side arms in the presence of the Governor were guilty of unbecoming conduct but were labor? ing under great excitement. Private B. G. Mills and E. C. Cathcart disobeyed orders in not turning out under arms on March 30 when ordered to do so by their captain. As to the Richland Volunteers : As to Captain Alston refusing to put his men in line when ordered by Col. J, G. Watts the court expresses no opinion. Leaving that out of consideration be disobeyed no orders nor was guilty of any conduct unbecoming an officer. He is commended for his.determi? nation to do bis whole duty leaving a sick bed. No officer or member was guilty of disobeying orders. As to tbe Zouaves: Captain Capers was guilty of disobeying orders and of conduct unbecoming an officer in encouraging his officers and meo to disobey orders ; that with the exception of Lieut. Frost aod a few mem? bers tbe Zouaves were guilty of disobeying orders. As to the Jenkins Rifles, York, they were guilty of deliberate disobedience it? refusing to go to Columbia when ordered. As to the Gordon Light Infantry, of Wions boro, Capt. Jordan was guilty-of premeditated disobedience, and is solely responsible for the failure of bis company to come to Columbia. As to the Catawba Rifles, Rock Hill, Capt. Reed and Lt. Harrison were guilty of dis obedieuce, although Captain Reed bad been elected but had not received r?cognition by the State. As to the Gordon Volunteers, commissioned officers and ten men disobey no orders. Other members did but from business con? siderations and not from desire to shirk mili? tary or the services required of them. Governor Tillman bas not decided what be will do about it. - i i ?~^ For Sale. Cotton Seed Meal and Hulls for sale in any quantity by W. B. BOYLE. ? I- I I sw Why do tbs people go to Kingman & Co's ?

WASHINGTON LETTER. WASHINGTON, Jone ll, 1894. Senator Harris believes that he can reach the final vote on the tariff bill before next Saturday night, if every Senator wb'o bas promised to vote for the bill will stand by him, to the extent of a little personal incon? venience and discomfort, and be bas during the last 48 hours been trying hard to get them to agree. He bas the promises of all the democratic Senators be bas seen, but be bad not up to tbis morning, owing to the absence of several democratic Senators and the sickness of Senators Gorman and McPherson, succeeded in getting the assur? ance of the quorum it will be necessary for bim to have behind bim to succeed in forcing a vote. It is now almost certain that the republican Senators have been wilfully de? ceiving the democrats in leaving them under the.impression that they were on the eve of agreeing to name a day for taking the final vote. It is not probable tbat tbey will ever agree to set a date until forced to do so by the democrats. There is no earthly reason for continuing the debate beyond this week, yet the republicans are talking of keeping it up until the middle of July, and they will do it, too, if the democrats do not prevent it by keeping a quorum of their own present to shut them off. There is much dissatisfaction among demo? crats in the Honse over the sugar schedule of tbe tariff bill as it bas been adopted by tbe Senate, and the prediction is freely made by democrat? that the House will never agree to it in its present shape. It is argued by its opponents that the tariff on refined sugar is prohibitive and will result in no possible benefit for anybody except the sugar trust and an attempt is now being made to organ? ise the democrats io the House against it and tn favor of free refined sugar. The only one of the reciprocity treaties made under the reciprocity clause of the McKinley tariff law that was ever of any practical benefit in increasing the sale of American products abroad-that with Spain providing an exchange of certain products with Coba and Potto Rico-will soon be abrogated by Spain. The Sute department has official information that the Spanish Cortes, will, by direction of the government, pass an act authorising Cuba and Porto Rico to collect a transitory duty of 24 per cent on all articles now on the free list of the reci? procity treaty. The Hoose Commerce committee bas de? cided that none of the Nicaragua canal bills before it were satisfactory, aod has directed a subcommittee to prepare a new bill with these four objects io view : to prevent the pay? ment to the present Nicaragua canal company of an excessive sum of its property and con? cessions ; to keep speculators from profiting by the project ; to provide for tbe issuance of United States notes for tbe cost of the con? struction of the canal rather than bonds, I and to secure complete and permanent con- | trol to the United States government. Mem- ? hers of thecommitttee express the belief that a hill along these lines cnn easily be passed, Htid that it will lie approved by the people of : the country. Tire overwhelming defeat in the House of the bill for the repeal o? the tax on state ; bank currency is regarded as an indication that there will he no financial legislation at this sessiou of Congress, although Represen- : tative Springer has not abandoned hope of getting action on his bill for a national currency. Coxey and his two lieutenants were released ' from jail yesterday, having served out their terras and paid the 55, fines imposed upon two of them in preference to ser neg an additional ten days. The authorities re? fused to grant a permit for a parade, thus preventing a demonstration being made over their release. Senator Walsh, of Georgia, made a bit with his bill providing for the establishment of a permanent exhibition of the industrial products and resources of al! the states at the National Capital. Everybody talks in favor of it. Senator Brice gave the charges against bim in connection with the alleged sugar trust scandal a bad black eye when he wrote to the Senate investigating committee offering bis own testimony and that of bis clerks io Washington, New York and Ohio, to prove that be has. not bought a share of sugar stock since be became a member of the Senate in 1891, and requesting bis brokers to make koowo to tbe committee every stock transac? tion of bis upon their books. In accordance with that request Mr. Chapman, a member of the New York firm of Moore and Scbley, stock brokers, testified that his firm had never bought ?ny sogar stock for Mr. Brice, but be positively refused to answer questions con? cerning the business of his firm with other Senators. The committee will ask the Grand Jury do deal with Mr. Chapman. Nothing has so far been brought out by the committee reflecting upon the integrity of any Senator. -- A new sens-it ?OD ! What?
