"It's False; An Outrage." Bishop Duncan Makes a Spir? ited Reply to Senator Till man. Greenville Newi, July 21st. A somewhat sensational feature ohsrsotertisd tbe yesterday morning's session of the Greenville distriot con? ference to St. Paol Methodist oburch here Bishop W. W. Duncan publioly resented the remarks of Seoator Till man as published io The News and Courier that "there is an unholy alii ance io this State of preaebers and bar-keepers led by Colooel Hoyt " Tbe venerable difioe spoke with some feeling aod ebaraoteriied tbe statement as false aod said snob ao assertion was nowortby of anyone especially a United States seoator. He for one did oot propose to sobmit to being elassed with bar keepers in ao unholy allioooe aod tbe ministers throughout tbe State should oot. He vioold oow register bis protest aod demaod ao explanation from the senator. In politics the sotton of Bishop Dun oao would bo oallsd "jumping oo Bsn with both fest,11 bot when ssen sfter the session of tbo oooferenoe, the bishop said to a roportsr of Tbe News thst he was merely "making a protest sod oalliog oo ths seostor for ao expla? nation." "It was manifestly falss snd sn outrage," said ths bishop, bis small, psoetrstiog eyes flashing ss be shook a elooohed fist. "I slwsys make it a rule to nail a lie whenever it comes up, whether it oomes from ths presidsot of ths Uoited Ststes or a Uoited Ststes senator, or from anyone else. It is all tbs mors shamefol that tbe statement oomes from a Uoited States senator. "Suppose I were to say, forinstanoe, that the merohaots of this towo were io lssgns with thieves, the ohioken thieves, to rob tbe oitisens, don't you suppose there would be a mighty protest? Well, there is jost as much seose io the one statement as tbe other. "Look out for tbe report tomorrow,1' ooocluded the bishop, "of the temper* aoee committee Mr. Tillman will probably bear from ns again." Wbat Senator Tillman Said. The following are tbe remarke of Senator Tillman, on the dispensary question, at tbe Bennettsville meet? ing laet week, ae reported in tbe State. Tbe balance of bis speech, after some preliminary remarke upon bie first appearance in politico at Bennettsville, was a criticism of tbe present campaign and hie usual ar? raignment of tbe newspspere : "Regulating tbe sale of liquor has been the cauee of more trouble than any other problem. If tbe State has the right to meddle with the ssle of whiskey at all it has the right to reg? ulate its sale Whiskey is usually drunk where bought?other articles of commerce are taken home. Tbe history of former prohibition contests in this State is that town after town would go 'dry/ and then would go 'wet' st tbe next election When a town was dry under prohibition, there wae just ss much drinking and no revenue. There were 95,000 votes iu 1892 and bnt 60,000 votes on the prohibition question, and tbe crude prohibition question won by 10,000 votes Childs introduced an ironclad bill. Tbe legislature is al? ways a skittish crowd It passed tbe Childs bill He bimeeif had taken this bill, had knocked out eome drastic fsatures and inserted the olsuses which allowed the State to sell liquor under dispensary regula? tions This wss psssed by tbe sen? ate and lster by tbe house. It was an issue in 1894 (and wae adopted). He himself had kept the constitution? al convention from inserting the law in the constitution, body and breech? es It wae settled in 1896 and again iu 1898. How many tioes must it be settled to be settled ? Tbe people must quit voting for personal prefer? ences and settle this issue once aod for all. "The prohibitionists are honorable men and led by an honorable man, but they polled but 15,000 voles last time Charleston voted for probibi tion in the last election. Are they enforcing prohibition now ? There ie an unholy alliance of preachers and barkeepers led by Col Hoyt, and yet you people vote for their personal preferences You sre not fit to vote. (Laughter.) "Marlborough is a model county, they say They have never sold whiskey by law. "Oh, you hypo critesl When I wss governor 1 heard of wagons coming down here from North Carolina Where do you get your liquor? I know you drink it You go down to the depot on Satur day evening and you will find a whole express car loaded with jugs and demijohns " A Voice: "Well, senator, how will you enforce the lew in Charles ton r ' Tillman replied thst this is a knoi'y question The constitutional convention in its liberality to ('hartes ton declared that thero should be a true bill by a grand jury before thcio could be a change of venire "The grand jury in Charleston will never find a true bill against a blind tiger and is lying. But if ho were governor he would put 50 constables in Charleston snd raise hell ou Chicco's street He called opon the people to make tbe candidates for tbe legislature de? clare themselves over tbeir signature io the county papers, aod run square? ly oo the liquor issue. If a man were licensed to sell liquor under constitu? tional provisions it would be a failure.

Church, South, adopted tbe following resolutions submitted by the committee oo temperance, composed of R. E. Stackhouse, P. F. Kilgo aod R R. Dagoall aod requested the papers of tbe State to publish same. Tbe 3d resolution is understood to refer to Seoator Tillmso's ebarge at Bennetts vills. "Henoe be it resolved : ??Its.
