A Rising Tide of Trade
Indicated by Reports Prom
ail.Sections of the Country.
NEW YORK, June 21.-K. G. Dun's
report says : Failures for the second
week of Jone show liabilities of only :
$2,092,382, of which $702,357 were I
manufacturing and. ?1,329,625 were
trading, against $2,917,535 in al! for
the same week last year, of which
$688,137 were manufacturing and
$2,220,766 were trading Additions j
for the first week of June raise the !
aggregate for two weeks, including'
the cordage concern, to ?14,32? ,841, j
. sf which $10,517,325 were manufac?
turing and $3,684,116 were trading
: Failures for the week have been 228
- :io: the:.United States, against 214 last j
gyear, and 31 in Canada, agaist 25 j
last year. He who sees a set back
ia business at this time must be
gazing tbrought a telescope pointed
by: mistake at some other country.
Ffom all parts of the United States
the best advices obtainable tel! of
; a rising tide of trade and industry,,
which threatens here and there to
mount r too far, and too fast The
volunt? of aU business ' is ^ no
means' equal tb that ?892 as yet,
though in some important branches
larger, thau;that $4 :any other , year.
Ipijff patients through clearing
houses in June are 26 9 percent,
larger -than last year, though S 6 per
cent smaller than in. 1892, the last
year of full business at this season, j
A rise of more than one-fourth in ai
single year is more significant, be-j
cause in spite of recent advances the
prices of commodities as a whole j
average a fraction of 1 per cent I
lower than a year ago. Two influ-!
enees of tremendous power contri-j
bute to the' rise-encouraging crop j
^ews^and confident replenishment of ?
STOCKS whicfi have been for two years j
flegjeted io Jbe utmost.
f S Misen onsiness -'Ira&actionsl- hate !
~ so long been $15,000,000 3rearly less
than before it is not strange that the
increase should be at the rate of!
$11,000,000 a year when faith in the
future inspires general replenishment j
of stocks
Excepting too heavy rains in
Texas, crop reports this week have
been highly encouraging Future
injury to cotton cannot be predicted,
but as yet nothing indicates a yield
below $7,500,000 bales, which would
not be supposed to threaten famine
if the commercial and mill stocks
were remembered, now exceeding by
2,500,000 bales a full consumption
until September 1. Receipts con?
tinue small and consumption close to
the maximum here and! abroad,
though the marketing of British
goods is not entirely encouraging. J
Liberal purchases of all products by 1
?he South do not indicate the belief j
that any serious misfortune impends i
8B : the strong trade in the grain
growing States accords with the
brighter crop prospects
The rush.For supplies in iron and
steel resembles a-'"bear-picnic" in)
the stock market. Because prices I
are mounting everybody hurries to j
buy, so' that they mount higher.
Bessemer iron has reached ?12 65 j
- at Pittsburg, the bar association has j
advanced.common to $1.15, the nail,
association puts up the price-1 to I
$1.50/per keg, the steel Vail makers
have raised the price to ?24. Eastern i
and Southern furnaces have both '
J^seS'pr&es again .50-cents pee ton,
and structural beams are $1.35 and
angles ?125 lt is undeniable that
- works i a operation.aie crowded with j
orders ?nd ochers which have been
tH&le for -, years are preparing, to re
;-^sume. At the same time the most
c ^dWnt cans?* o'P rtflr upward ^tart in
prices, the general belief that a com?
bination of coke producers would I
raise Reprice to ?1 50 after July 1,1
is apparently removed by war among
the producers, and a fall to ?1.25 in j
contracts for the last half of 1895 j
Advances continue in cotton goods!
i and are sustained by unusual demand
and scarcity at a time when the mills j
are generally anxious to clear off old ;
stocks Shipments of 'boots and rt
shoes for1,tlie week have been the
largest ever known in any week- I
?O', 145 cases-according to the Shoe!
and Leather Reporter, and for the
first t?Hee.; weeks -of June have been
ll p?f'c?n?. larger than in aiiy bte- .
vious jear. Many shop* are stop- j
ping, though most have orders to f
August or September. With sterling j
exchange at the shipping point, gold
^^.exports^re.upt expected unless the,
syndicate sees fit to make them for 1
pnrposes of its own, although -the

Constables Lafar, Wrightand j
danton go to Jail.
Special to The State. ?
CHARLESTON*, June 21 -Constables
S: Cr. Lafar, R. M. Wright and J. N.
danton have been ordered by His
Honor, Judge Siraonton, togo to
jail and liiere to spend their sum
vacation for having wilfully di
gamed and disobeyed the coi
order enjoining them from sei:
and confiscating liquor imported
tlie State for personal consumpt
They received their sentence ^
perfect composure. A larger cr<
was present than on yesterday
much interest manifested.
The first case taken up was
brought by Messrs Mordecai
Gadsden against a big batch of c
stables and the following compli
ants: II. K McIntosh, F. E Giv<
M Adair, X. P. Hay ne and P
Truche
The Assistant Attorney Gem
contended that it was unreasons
to suppose that these five men wo
order out for personal consumpt
over $300 worth of liquor at one ti
and that the "appearances," whi
by the way, are the only means
constables have of arriving at c
elusions whether the liquor is for p
spnal use or for sale, were such ag
lead the constables to exerci?? tr
authority invested by the crispens
law.
This view of the case was cc
batted by Mr. Gadsden, who h
that his clients were reputable c
zens, men whose affidavits should
taken without question, and wr
they had sworn that the liquor v
ofr their use their oaths should
accepted. It was more adva?tagec
to these gentlemen to buy liquor
large quantities as it could be pi
chased much cheaper. These ?ir
of argument were pursued with si ig
modifications in all the cases.
Mr. Benj A. Hagood presented
the court the case of Julius
Walker and most forcibly argued tl
Constable S. G. Lafar be punish
for seizing the six gallons of whiske
"when ali appearances,'' he sai
' showed that it was not for sale
.After various cases had been nea
Judge Simonton said : -
;. "I wish to.^state emphatically
the pfe8fenee?oj all iii this ro?onr th
I do not intend the orders of th
court to be.used as a cloak for at
violations 'of the dispensary la\
The constables must act within the
prescribed limits and not transgrei
them. If they have sufficient e\
dence that certain liquors are bein
imported for sale they should in
mediately seize them, and I hav
promised them that this court will nt
intervene, but where they have n<
that proof they must keep their hanc
off the goods, for by seizing sue
liquors they are acting in disobej
ance and defiance of this court!
orders. I now dismiss the cae
against Constable Addison for sei:
ing the liquor consigned to Georg
Srayrl of Camden, a? there were som
evidences that he was engaged in th
barroom business.
"I sentence Constable danton t
one month in the Charleston count;
jail, and Constable Lafar and Wrigh
to two months in the Richland am
Anderson county jails respectively
theie to remain until the liquor sha!
have been returned. The evidenc
IQ., these cases certainly showed tba
the constables have acted withou
justification. The other' cases hean
{ shall take under consideration "
In. the course bf his remarks tin
judge spoke very favorably of tin
manner in which Chief Holley is dis
charging his duties.

Messrs Murphy. Farrow & Legal
; as attorneys of Julias Lowenstei
of" North Carolina, have begun pi
ceedings in the Circuit Court of t

j action Messrs. Murphy. Farrow
; Legare not only propose to attem
? the lecovery of damages for M
I ijowenstein, but also to attack tl
! constitutionality of the dispensai

Judges Mciver and McGowan ha*
both already declared the dispensai
law to be a monopoly, and it is pr
bable that some stress will be la:
upon this circumstance.
The case will not be heard in tl

Tue Cause of Tempranee.
To the Editor of The Slate : A few
.lays ago I received a letter from the
Most Worthy Scribe. National Divi?
sion Sons of Temperance, asking me
as Grand Scribe of the Grand Divi?
sion Sons of Temperance of South
Carolina, how the order was getting
on in our State I had to admit that
we were nearly dead Whilst in our
city we have a good working divi?
sion, in other sections of the State,
excepting a division in Anderson,
the Sons of Temperance are almost
extinct. The National Division is
anxious that South Carolina shall take
position at the head of the Sons of
Temperance column which she held
before the war. I am anxious to
help carry out this effort, and wish to
say that in furtherance of this idea, I
will go to any place in South Carolina
and spend all the time necessary to
work up a division, making no charge
at all for my expenses ; if the people
desire to make up a purse for that
purpose, well and good.
Now a word to every temperance
man or woman in South Carolina, do
you want a division of the Sons of
Temperance in your midst ? Then
drop a line to me, and it shall be done
with the help of God. I ask as a ;
favor to the cause of temperance, that
every paper, secular and religious,
in mir State publish this letter.
Very truly.

Another complication has arisen in

H. Meetzer's liquor tho other day,
Judge Simonton required in his sen ;
fence that ?hf* constable be kept io jail
till the seized liquor had been returned
to the consignee. Now. it appears that
the liquor in this case was taken from
the dispensary authorities by the
United States government, and Mr.
Redmond, the special government in?
spector sent here, declines to give it
up. And thus the matter stands.
Assistant Attorney General Town?

Conservatives Organize.
Address to the Democrats of

Sute, June 23.
The following address ro the pe"ple
of the State has been issued by the
Conservative executive committee, aod
those leading Conservatives who met
with them io conference in Col am bia
on Friday Dight, (he conference ad?
journing at an early hour yesterday
morning. Just one ^eek ago Senator
Tillman's interview, dashing the Till?
1 man-Evaus-Barnwell Evans scheme to
the earth, was published. The address
below shows that the Conservative*
have at last determined to show their
grit as to the comiog fight, and intend
? to lose no time in preparing for the on
i coming election.
Here is the address as issued:
To the People of South Carolina: On
i the third Tuesday in August a cooven
? tion will be elected which will meet at
! Columbia in September to make a new
'? constitution for the State. This elec?
tion will be as important to you as that
of 1876. The meo who wili represent
you iu the convention will have more
power than any officials provided for
by our laws. They wiii create law.
By their action all thc Legislatures, the
' State and county officers aud judges
. will bc governed hereafter. AU your
personal and property rights, and those
of your children, your liberty and your
children's liberty, tue honor and pros?
perity and peace of the State for the
I future, will be iu the keeping of that
: convention.
If the day of election for delegates
[ finds you disorganized, undecided, di
I vided by factional differences, personal
I preferences and local iaterests, the poli
I ticians who control the party orgauiza
j tion and State ?lection machinery, the
I patronage and all the ?.?fi&na! influence,
will easily secure absolute control of
: the convention which will have
such enormous power over you and
yours.
We believe you have too much love
for your State, too much respect for
: your own liberties and rights, to sur?
render such power to men whose only
! interest and apparent purpose is to se
' cure for themselves permanent placee
i and rule regardless of the results to
1 the people and of the will of the peo
The Conservative Democracy is the
: only political organization in South
Carolina not controlled by the politi?
cians Tho are now io office. For tba:
i reason it will offer its active aid and co
' operation to all citizens who sincerely
! desire that the new constitution be
made by free men who will represent,
j respect and guard the interests and
j feelings of the people, regardless of
the ambitions and needs of the politi
; ciaos, such meo to be chosen by ami
\ cable agreement and common consent,
if possible, by a straight anti-Ring
: fioht if necessary.
The executive committee of the Coo
! *ervative party, therefore, in accord
I ance with the resolutions unanimously
adopted, respectfully urges all meru
? bers of that party to proceed immediate
I ly to organize clubs in each township
, of the State, and on or before July 6?b,
I to meet in county conventions and elect
