WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, I9G6.
1 -CM---.?
The Sumter Watchman was founded in
1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The
Watchman and Southron now has the com?
bined circulation and influence of bothr of
?he old papers, and is manifestly the best
advertising medium in Sumter.
The News, a daily paper published
At Sumter, has suspended publication,
Tffrft reason being that the editor. Mr.
JKnight the moving spirit in the pa
?>er, is in such wretched health he can?
not give the time and energy to the
X>aper that is required. It was predict?
ed quite generally when The News
^started that it could not be made to
jpay in Sumter on account of the field
.already being well supplied by a news
3paper. While financial reverses is not
^given, as a reason. for the suspension
?of The News, it would/hot be a sur?
prise to hear that that, too, had some
' sining to do with it-Greenville News.
? * *
It is said that W. K. Hearst has high
ltopes of doing something in the presi?
dential line, if the Armstrong commit?
tee will hold the insurance grafters
out of the next campaign. In that
?event his barrel will not have to
contend against, such heavy odds.
* * .
The suggestion made by Judge Al?
ston B. Parker in his Charlotte speech
'.that the South should name the next
democratic candidate for the presi?
dency has" set the Washington politic?
ians to discussing the available presi?
dential possibilities. The general drift
?of sentiment seems to be in the direc
riioTi of Senator Bailey of Texas, who
:1s said to be the strongest and ablest
3>amocrat in either house of congress
r ;and to possess more of the attributes
?of statesmanship and leadership than
?any other Democrat of prominence
JBryan "not excepted. It makes little
?diff?rence to us whom the Democrats
.may Aomittate,*if he is to be defeated
3by the power of the protected trusts,
?bnttil there is a chance to elect a
X>erci>crat we- much prefer a Southern
-cuan, for the only all-wool-and-a-yard
wide Democracy left in this country
is monopolized-by the South.
* * ?
Tt will not do for the prospective
rmembers of the city council to dismiss
?the sewerage question with the asser?
tion that the council has nothing to do
"with saying whether we are to have
sewerage or not and that it is the peo?
ple who must decided such questions.
Jt is true that the people must vote on
the matter of a bond issue, bt^t unless
bave s council thac v. iii take uj>
*the sewerage propositfoii and push ::.
?thz matee; will never be brought to
liead and no opportunity viii be given
"ihe people to declare themselves for
'?/or against sewerage. There was pre
"jcisely the same sort of talk about the
^purchase of the waterworks, but the
^oatgeing council takes the greatest
credit to itself for- consummating the
<?$ea? that made the city the owner of
the water system. Will anyone dispute
the assertion that the waterworks
-vould^'hot now be owned by tne city
if a council opposed, or indifferent, to
the puichase had been ^ected two
years ago? What Sumter'wants and
needs is not a council that will submit
?to the peremptory orders of the peo
-ple when they sha'! "have been arous?
ed to the point of demanding a sewer
- age system, but a council that will
.proceed in a business like way to de?
vise ways and means to provide this
necessity. If they :-=hall succeed in do
. ing this and will then ask the people
xor the authority to . do the work and
the bills, we are confident they
will be gi;.-en the necessary authority.
?Don't let's shift so much responsibili?
ty to the shoulders of the people.
* * ?
Senator Tillman says he will issue
an address to the Democrats of the
?tate giving his views on the dispen?
sary. We trust this address will serve
?S a safety valve and that thereafter
.the seiiior Senator will attend strictly
<to his own business. The people of
-South Carolina can think and reason a
little for themselves on the dispensary
?Question, as well as few others, and if
Sie would only realize this fact it
would be better for all concerned. We
'believe that Senator Tillman is enti
.tied to re-election and there is no rea?
son for his mixing up in the dispensary
fight He''don't need to do so to in?
stare his election, and if he will keep
ont of this strictly State fight every?
thing will be pleasant this summer.
The Tltern's '?Democratic Principles."
..Hearken to .the Sumter Item:
.."It'is about time to let up on Speak?
er Cannon. The joke has been carried
?str enough-, and as it is impossible for
{?be S*Blh Carolina 'admirers* to sup
jpty the thing he stands most in need
of-a complete outfit of Democratic
principles-they should quit pester
3ng the odd man."
"Now the Sumter Item is not only an
honest but an intelligen newspaper.
Tts opinion is frequently worth consid?
eration. What are "Democratic prin?
ciples?- Let ft testify.
Is the idea of a sovereign State
creating by legislation a monopoly in a
??articular subject of merchandise, al?
eonaste liquors, and itself becoming
the -merchant and monopolist a "Dem?
ocratic principie?" y
How would Jefferson square th
with his proposition for the "best go
erned are least governed?"
What is the Democratic author]
for a State or for each of the fort
five ?tates to become a shopkeepe
Frankly-now don't doge-does T
Item imagine that Speaker Cannon
his Republican "outfit" has anythii
more radically opposed to Democra
than the State whiskey monopo
idea?
Would The Item welcome the exte
sion of the dispensary system so th
45 American states should have it ai
hazard the formation of an allian
between these State concerns for tl
purpose of controlling national a
fairs? How long does the pro-dispe
sary Item think the nation would su
vive with 45 State dispensaries?
Will not our esteemed contempora:
confess that "Democratic principle
are a little embarrassing at time:
Would not the Item feel better if f<
the purpose of pending State can
paign bed-rock "Democratic princ
pies" were forgot?-News and Coi
rifer.
The dispensary system is defensib
only on the assumption that it is a
exercise of the police powers of tl
State, and it is on that score alone th;
The Item endorses it, or would unde:
take to defend it. We are, and ha-s
been from the day the dispensary sy:
tem was first suggested, opposed 1
the State engaging in trade, for ^
recognize as clearly, and admit as car
didly, as the News and Courier, that
State monopoly of any commodity
an encroachment upon the right of th
individual citizens, and is, therefore, i
direct violation of the fundamentals c
the Democratic faith.
Holding this belief, we were a lon
time in coming to the conclusion ths
the conditions resulting from the ad
mitted evils of the liquor traffic wai
ranted the exercise of the police pow
ers to the extent of monoplizing th
liquor traffic by means of the dispen
sary system. At the outset we con
demned the dispensary system unre
servedly and without qualification, an.
could see no good in it, except the ear
ly closing feature; but as the year
passed we could not honestly den;
that the dispensary, as conducted ii
this city, and as it could be conductei
elsewhere, if, the right sort of mei
were in charge, was a decided im
provement on the old barroom systen
in every respect. Furthermore, w<
know that it is an improvement oi
prohibition, for Sumter gave prohibi
tion a trial under the old local optioi
law that ante-dated the dispensar:
system.
{ This eliminates a-: proposed system;
j for the regulation or suppression o
I the liquor evil, ?ave thai of h:?r"i> li
cen.-e. as substitutes for the dispen
j
sary.
We fail to see wherein a high li?
cense, or any other license system, ii
theoretically or practically any im
provement on the dispensary system
or any less a violation of the abstrae
principles of Democracy. In the dis?
pensary system the State doe:
through its own agents what
under the license system, ii
would delegate to individuals, fo:
a price. The dispensary is a Stat?
monopoly, -v^hile under the license
system^ the State would farm out the
monopoly. It is a distinction withoul
a difference, and in our judgment it b
better for the State and for the peo?
ple at large that the State operate the
liquor monopoly, than to farm it oui
to individuals whose only aim would
be to make as much money as possible
out of the privilege for which thej
would pay the State a high price.
There is, of course, danger of venal
men gaining control of the State liquoi
monoply and using it as a means ol
enriching themselves, and as a politi?
cal machine, for the furtherance ol
their own interests; but so long as it
remains a State institution the people
have the power to turn the rascals out.
There is just the same danger, and
even greater probability, of the high
license sub-monopilists-by purchase
of the privilege from the State-or?
ganizing a political machine, and
such a machine would be bigger, more
powerful and more difficult to over?
throw than a little ring such as has,
in the recent past, and may, in the fu?
ture, temporarily control the State
liquor monopoly. Under the license
system more men would have interests
at stake and with the large profits
that they would derive frdm the li?
censed monopolies, bought from the
State, they would be better fortified
and better abl?? to exercise a corrupt
and corrupting influence on the poli?
cies of the State than the State dispen?
sary grafters have ever succeeded in
exerting with the free whiskey sam?
ples.
Finally we do not admit that there
could possibly be greater danger from
a dispensary system of national extent
than there now exists from the organ?
ized forces of distillers and brewers,
who are accountable to no one,
and whose transactions are never sub?
ject to invesrigation.
It is a great pity that an election
. cannot be conducted without so much
pulling and hauling of voters to the
! polls. It would be an ideal condition
. if every man would go to the polls and
cast his ballot without the aid and as
; sistance of workers, but ideal condi
. tions never exist, and can only be hop?
ed for.
HE WAS LYING EN.WAIT
BEHIND THE DOOR."
Mr. D. 6. Zeigler Fatally Wounded by
j * Mr. Eugene Hogan, Jr.
THE STORY OF THE TRAGEDY,
It Was a Determined Effort to Slay a
Fleeing Man-Three of the Five
Shots Were Fired as He Leaped
Doun the Stairway
From the Daily Item Marou 24.
Yesterday afternoon witnessed one
.of the most deplorable tragedies that
(has ever occurred in Sumter. Mr. D. G.
iZeigler, architect, was fatally wound
ted by Mr. Eugene Hogan, Jr., whom
he had once employed as an assistant
klraughtsman. Hogan used a 32-cali
fbre pistol and emptied every chamber
of it in ?n effort to kill his man. Three
(of the balls took effect, two being
texeremely dangerous wounds and will
?likely prove fatal, the other grazed
?the arm near the elbow and is of lit
itle consequence.
i The details of the tragedy are about
ns follows:
) Young Hogan had, some time pre?
cious to the shooting affair, been in
.the employ of Zeigler as his assistant
?in his architectural work: Zeigler had
?never paid Hogan the full amount of
(compensation due him for services,
(which provoked him to so great an ex?
tent that he resorted to drastic means
i?or the collection of the balance due.
Yesterday morning Hogan went to
I Sheriff Epperson and laid the matter
before him, stating that Zeigler owed
him $123.00 which he was unable to
collect, and asked what means he
(could employ to get the money due
him. Sheriff Epperson gave him the
advice asked for .and the conversation
'ri 9
?ended there. j
! In the afternoon about 4 o'clock
Hogan went to the office of Zeigler
and called him out to discuss the mat
rter; Zeigler told him that he did not
'desire to have anything to do with
him, shut the door in his face and
locked it. Mr. Zeigler waited in his of?
fice for about 15 minutes, and then
?picked up a number of letters that he
?had to mail and started to the post
toffice with them. He was descending
?the flight of steps leading from his of?
fice to the entrance on Main street
when a pistol shot rang out and Zeig
j 1er was struck under the pit of the
arm; instantly he turned to see who
?had shot him, when he was hit again
:?wound. He rushed down the stairs
\f i-s".rit !. H ; ly. will*-:- three more sh?..:?=
?we: f fired at him, only one vi which
: hit him, this wound being elie or e pre
? iViOUSly ?cacii?e? eta lue ?icsiX W?und uh
j the arm. The wounded man reached
\ the street in a staggering condition
and was about to fall when he was j
grabbed about the waist by Dr. C. H.
Durant and carried to the rear of his
drug store.
Mr. Zeigler was placed in a chair,
and it was evident that he was labor?
ing under great excite^^nt. He show?
ed no sign of pain for fully five min?
utes, but his body gradually began to
grow cold and a ghastly pallor spread
itself over his face. He begged for
water which was given to him in small
quantities, and requested to be fan?
ned.
? "Why did he do it, Mr. Zeigler?"
?some one asked.
"I owed him some money." he said,
'and I refused to pay him until he re?
turned some instruments (drawing)
that he had taken from my office."
He then threw his head back and
.began to breathe more rapidly. Ke
was beginning to shaw signs of pain
and moaned a little.
"I was coming down the steps; he
was lying in wait behind the door,"
.he said and then continued in a de?
jected tone: "I did all that I could for
him, and to think that he would have
done such."
> The poor man then began to suffer
intense agony; his moans and groans
were heart-rending. He told Sheriff
Epperson that there were letters in
.his pocket that would explain every?
thing, and they were taken out and
safely put away.
By this time Drs. Archie China and
Walter Cheyne arrived. They had the
wounded man placed comfortably on
a counter in the rear of the store and
examined the wounds. His intense ag?
ony there war horrible to witness. A
hypodermic Injection of morphine
alleviated his suffering to a small de?
gree. When the nature of the wounds
.was discovered the patient was'placed
in an automobile and taken to the
Sumter Hospital.
One of the most touching incidents
.to the lamented affair was the kind
and gentle ministrations of Mr. Eu?
gene Hogan, Sr., to the wounded man.
He stayed with him until he was re
?moved to the hospital and fanned and
comforted him with such gentleness
as a mother might be expected to
'manifest towards her first born. Mr.
Hogan was sorely grieved over the ?c
currence.
The two serious wounds were in?
flicted in the back, one entering di?
rectly under the arm pit and ranged
downward, the other entered three
.inches below and ranged through the
body. Last night the X-ray fatted to
reveal the exact location of the bul
lets. It is likely that Mr. Zeigler will
.be operated on today.
The man who shot Mr. Z.eigier down
.made no attempt to escape. He was
taken into custody by Sheriff Epper?
son and lodged in the county Jail.
The whole community is deeply re?
gretful of so terrible an affair, and ex?
pressions of sympathy are everywhere
to be heard. While all hope for Mr.
Zeigler's recovery, the chances are
greatly against him.
Last night Mr. Zeigler made his
dying declaration, which was eommit
I ted to writing by Recorder Hurst. He
expressed no hope of recovery, and
the facts therein contained substan?
tiate the details contained in this ar
? tide.
Mr. D. G. Zeigler is still holding his
own, and the chances of recovery are
growing better. The bullets have not
been located, but his general condition
was favorable this morning.
CRUSHED BY AN ELEVATOR.
David Morris Is Killed in Continental
Building-Tried to Leave Car After
It Had Started-Conductor on Verge
of Collapse.
Mr. David Morris, aged 53 years,
was crushed to death while attempt?
ing to leave an elevator at the fifth
floor of the Continental building, Bal?
timore and Calvert streets, at 10:30
o'clock this morning. The body was
hurried to the city hospital in the Cen?
tral district patrol wagon, but was
not even removed from the wagon, as
the physicins said death had been in?
stantaneous. The body was subse?
quently taken to the morgue, where
Coroner Hayden will hold an inquest.
Mr. Morris, who was employed by
the Baltimore Towel Supply Company,
321 North Holliday street, as a driver
and distributor, took his wagon out
as usual this morning, ?nd, as was
his custom when he reached the Con?
tinental Building, went-first to the top
floor to see th..? janitor, who was not
in his office. It A as while descending
to look for him that he was killed.
The car was in charge of Eievatorman
Howard Coleman of 2Tl9 Huntingdon
avenue. No one was in the car or
witnessed the accident except Cole?
man, who was sent home, as he was
on the verge of collapse.
Mr. Isaac Hirshler, proprietor of
the Baltimore Towel Supply Company,
gave the following account of the ac?
cident:
"Mr. Morris, wha had been to the
sixteenth floor in search of the janitor,
! ear. which wo s going down. As i:
j approached the tittil floor the signals
; showed ti-.ai some une was .vatting f< :
? the car. The con due-or stopped, and
opening the door, asked the three
young women who were standing
there if they wished to go down. They
replied. "No," and the man started to
shut the door. As he shut the door
he started the car cn its downward
journey.
Mr. Morris, who had been standing
in the back of the car, made a sudden
step forward, as though he had sud?
denly made up his mindto get off at
the fifth floor._ The conductor tried to
prevent him reaching the door, but
was too late, and Mr. Morris' arm
caught in the doors and he was
thrown violently against the roof, and
then thrown back again to the floor as
Coleman reversed the car in an effort
to prevent the accident.
A compound fracture of the skull
and a compound fracture of the left
leg. caused death.
In speaking of Mr. Morris, Mr.
Hirshier said:
"He was very careful and was rath?
er slow and deliberate in his move?
ments. He had been working for us
for two years, and, as far as I know,
never had an accident or mishap in an
elevator before,-though he had ridden
in nearly all in the city and had used
those at the Continental building time
and again. I cannot account for the
accident, and suppose it was one of
those that happen to the most careful
of men. I presume that he thought he
saw the janitor on the fifth floor as
the man started the car, and, without
thinking to say stop and not realizing
that the car had been started, stepped
forward and was caught in the door."
Mr. Morris is survived by a widow
and several children, who live at 759
West Lexington street.-Baltimore
News, March 22.
Mr. David Morris, whose tragic
death is recorded above, was for a
number of years a resident of this city
and will be remembered by all of the
older citizens.
Letter to J. C. Cooper.
Sumter, S. C.
Dear Sir: Thomas J. Bannoo, drug?
gist. Westerly, R I, says :
Westerly painters expect a gallon ol
paint to cover 19 sets of blinds ; Devoe
covers 25; there is no such thing as
rubbing this ont.
(The usual reckoning is for a gallon
to cover 16. We suspect the Westerly
people don't wear their paint till it
gets very shabby. )
Devoe covers more; of course, wc
know that; we know why too; it's all
paint and full-measure.
