Schemes of the Enemy.


HAMPTON, S. C. Oct. 21.-Colonel NJ.
3. McSweeney, WI. Causey, J. O.. H.
Sanders and Rev. W. H. Bowling were
arrested yesterday by United States
Constable Williams of Allendale, on a
warrant issued by Commissioner Nor
gan upon the affidavit of one Riley,
chairman of the Radical party for this
County, charging them with refusing to
discharge their duty as officers under the
State laws. The whole affair is trumped
up in the interest of one S. E. Smith,
candidate for seat in Congress. The
gentlemen above named were carried to
Yamassee this morning to have hear
ing before Commissioner Elliott.
1t seems that Riley brought one hum
dred and fifty or two hundred athdavits
in a gripsack to Colonel McSWeeney,
and demanded registration certificates
in exchange. The afidavits were sworn
to before Charleston darkey, known to
no one in this County, and as they were
not presented by the parties who made
them Colonel McSweeney declined to is
sue certificates. The other gentlemen
are charged with refusing to administer
oaths to negroes desiring to make affida-
Wits that they had lost their certificates.
AS registration days fell on salesdays it
would have been very inconvenient Tor
these officers to neglect the duties of
their Offices, and they consequently de-
clined to do so. Hence this persecu

All over the country the effect of
such legislation has already been to
increase the prices of dry goods and
other household necessities. The Nc
Kinley bill has defined sharply the
issue upon which the two parties are
divided. The economic dotrine. which
the party in power now supports, is
one which it would have repudiated
ten years ago, and which some of its
great men-like Blaine-are evidently
desiring to repudiate now. The time
has come when the demands Of the
manufacturers and producers are for

engine was stopped just before it reach

Wind and rain storm, hardly ever before equaled
for severity In this section, broke loose. and,
with the twenty-five or fifty bells, the steam
Whistles and the cannon firing, pandemonium
ruled supreme. Many people. forgetfdl of the
New Year, thought the millennium had arrived
and fell on their faces with prayers and suppli-
cations for mercy. During the height OF the
terrible storm some miscreant turned in gen.
erAl fire alarm. which made matters. If possible,
still worse. The storm ragged two hours. Gates.
picket fences. signs and other properties were
destroyed during the tempest. The immense
quantities OF water that have fallen have de-
layed all trains. and may yet prove the cause Of
some expensive wrecks and loss Of life.

The Sarasate-D'AIbert Concert.

The announcement is made that Sarasate and
D'Albert will give q concert here at Lincoln
music hall on Thursday. January g. The mere
fact that two artists of worldwide celebrity,
who stand today as giants in their own particu-
lar walk in the musical world, appear here
ought to be q source Of qualification to the pub
lie generally and to musical amateurs in par
ticular. The furore which Senior de Sarasate
created in the old world has followed him here
and his magical playing has won for him not
only the most enthusiastic criticisms from the
best musical writers but he has also merited
the highest esteem and applause of that por-
ton of the musical public who are seen only at
high-class musical entertainments. Not alone
Sarasate, however. but DAlbert ''the wizard
Of the piano" will appear at this concert in
conjunction with the great violnist. Madame
Berthe Harx. a pianist Of great renown in Eu-
rope, will also appear.

TO ATTEND A WHOLE DAY
High School Pupils Take Possession of
the New Wing Today.

The last seat was nailed down in the new
wing to the high school building, which was
recently completed, this morning, and with the
last blow of the hammer the system Of having
many scholars at the high school attend only
half day gave up the ghost. The system, it
will be remembered, was started two years ago
on account of the cramped condition of the
school.
THE HALF DAY SYSTEM.
At that time only the first year scholars were
divided into two divisions, one of which at
tended from to IL and the other from II to 8
pm. Last year, however, it was found neces-
ssry to extend this system to the second year
classes also. All the time spent by these
scholars at the building was given up entirely
to Rotations and their study was
supposed to be carried on at
home. Principal Lane never approved Of such
restrictions as these, and in his 87'8S report he
called for additional room and expressed his
views as follows:
I'VE regard as essential to education the
opportunity to teach pupils how to study. ANY
plan Of organization which brings student aud
teacher together only for Rotations is serious
drawback to training those under instruction"
The result was the building of the addition to
the high school, of which full mention has been
made IN The STAR, and today 400 pupils are
accommodated for a full days instruction
How long this addition will suffice is q question
the authorities don't want to think about, but
unless some change is effected it will not be for
long. In 1888 there were only 367 high school
pupils, while today the building swarms with
l,4OO.
THE NEW WING
is one hundred feet long by seventy feet wide
and contains twenty-one rooms. By its aid
twelve additional class rooms are secured, max
ing the entire number of class rooms twenty
eight The new building also secures many
other benefits. as number Of departments
hitherto very much cramped have been moved
into the larger room il contains and the old
quarters given up for class rooms or study halls.
In this way the library, the chemical labora-
tory, the physical laboratory, the botanical
laboratory and the armory have changed their
situations and obtained space in which to
breathe for the time being
THE ANNEXEs.
Outside the high school building there are
three small houses, which are also pressed into
service for the use of the school. These build
ings are situated on o street just opposite the
main structure, and are used for the drawing
department OF the manual training school, for
the manual training school proper and for the
cooking school
TIE NEW SYSTEM
Of having each scholar attend full day,
which was inaugurated today, naturally en-
tailed . large amount Of planning. An en-
tirely new program of recitations had to be
| arranged, providing when every section of
every class should be at each hour Of the
day. DR.. Lane informed STAR reporter to-
| without the slightest jar or friction.

DAKOTA SALOON KEEPERS.
They Decide TO Defy the Constitution
Legal Opinions.

SIoux FALLS. SD, Jan. 2-Considerable ex-
sitement prevails among the temperance peo-
pie over the stand taken by the majority Of the
saloon keepers. All saloon licenses expired
with the year. With one or two exceptions,
however, all the places we're open yesterday as
usual. The impression prevails among the
liquor dealers that they will be permitted to
continue in business until the law to be passed
by the coming legislature Tor enforcing the
prohibitory amendment goes into effect. The
chief saloon keeper of the city has closed his
shop and announces that he will not open until
the amendment Is repealed under the omnibus
hill upon which South Dakota was admitted as
state. There Is a law still IN force for prose-
cutting saloon keepers without license aud the
keepers are somewhat adverse to controversy
in business and fear prosecution from the tenn
perance people.
HAVE The ADVICE OF LAWYERS.
MITCHELL, SD, Jan. 2.-The leading saloon
keepers express themselves as determined to
Keep open regardless Of the prohibition clause
In the constitution. They say that the opinions
Of able lawyers have been given them to the
effect that though their licenses expired with
the year 1889 no penalties are attached to their
continued selling. nor will be until there are
Legislative enactments enforcing the prohib-
itOry clause. Until such enac time nts are passed
and 20 into effect they propose to run wide
OPEN
MAY LET THEM Run TILL JULY.
PIERRE, ). d., Jan. Although constitu-
tional prohibition went into effect yesterday
reports to the state officers from almost every
city and town in the state we're to the effect
that with few exceptions all saloons were wide
open and we're continuing 20 dispense whisky.
Saloon men claim that no penalty attaches to
the law, and this must be provided by the
legislature at its coming session. The general
opinion L. that the Legislature will pass law
similar to that OF North Dakota, permitting
saloons and brewcries to run until July.
