venerable DR.. McCosh, of

The Irby-Shou Knock down

The following is no doubt. the true state
mcnt of the personal difficulty that occurred
last week, ut Col. Shaw's residence in Lau-
rcns county, between Senator lrby and
Congressman Shell The statement comes
from Mir. Shell himself and from our per-
sonal know edge ur the man, we believe him
to be strictly truthful, anl his statement
may be relied on. Ito says:
81 was at Col. Shaws, an Invited que l.
on Thursday, the 18th lust, together with
Mr.. .. G.. Cunningham, W. +. Cunningham
and I. :. league. Sometime after my ar
rival there, and whilst being entertained in
the parlor, Senator lrby suddenly made his
appearance and in an excited manner en-
quired of me if Gen. Farley had read to me
the communication Published against him,
and also demanded to know if endorsed
said article. replied in the affirmative,
and said endorsed so much of it as was
contradictory of the statement made by
"Craddock' Thcreupon Col. lrby struck
me, whilst was sitting III my chair. Mr..
w. +. Cunningham caught lrby aad pulled
him back, when lrhy drew his knife, but
was prevented from using it by being held
back, by Mr.. W. r. Cunningham. After
some unimportant chickering's, Senator lrby
left, and thus ended the affair.
L: another account from friend of San
ator lrby it states that lrby did not drar
knife, but had a onc.h!adcL pocket knife
in his hand There Gu hc no doubt that
he had knife drk--onc report said
which may be called u onc-Jladcd knife: but
what did he have the knife out for ? lie
Jumped from his buggy, weat quickly into
the house and attacked Mr.. Shell, who was
sitting down. Mr. Shell is ucar;y 60 years
old, in feeble health, while Senator lrby is
40 years Old. There is nearly 20 years diff
for 60 in their ages.

Kelton Alliance Speaks

At q regular meeting Of Ke!ton Alliance
No. l49, held at Kelton s C., July 22,
1898, the following resolutions were adopt
ed:
WHEREAS, There has been and is still
being made efforts by several boards of
trade, chambers of commerce, ETC., who
constitute but very small proportion of
our population, to create the impression
that the majority of our people wish the re-
peal of the Sherman bill and thereby the
demonstration of silver; and whereas, we
the members of Kelton Alliance, believe
that such repeal would be detrimental to the
iaterests Of the farmers aud the people gen.
orally therefore,
Resolved, That we do most emphatically
enter our protest to any change in our silver
laws unless Congress gives US the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver.
Resolued, That we demand that Congress
pass a bill for the free and unlimited coiu
uge of silver.
Resolprd. That We will hold cur Congress
men to strict accountability if they fail to
work and vote against an unconditional re-
peal Of the Sherman bill and for n bill for
| the free and unl,mitcd coinage of silver.
Resolved, That these resolutions be scu
| the Cotton Plant, UNION TINES and Hediigh
for publication. W. II. GAuLT.
X. L. n. FOWLER, President.
Secretary.

How the Dispensary Law Is Enforced.

In another column will be found an article
under the head Of Anybody can get Whis-
key at the Dispensary," which we take
from Columbia daily paper, the truth of
which has not been denied. To us it shows
aSfagrant and most arbitrary violation of
the plain letter and spirit of the dispensary
law, on the part of the State Board of Con-
troll, of which Gov Tilman is evidently the
controlling element.
Heretofore we have been not only willing
but anxious to have the dispenssry law
fairly tested npon its own merits, believing
it if proved to be benefcent law, suppress
ing in any appreciable degree the abuse of
whiskey drinking, rcclaiming even a few
drunkards and elcvating the social and
moral standards of society, by its wholesome
restraints upon the habits aud customs of
our people in every sphere Of life, the peo
pie will feel and appreciate its great beue-
fits and throw around it the whole fvrce of
their moral influence to give it strength and
long life; but if it is founded upon merce-
nary motives-to make money for the State
out of the whiskey tratiic--the State itself,
through her officials, overriding the moral
restraints of the law and establishing the
worst features of the barroom system by
opening the doors of the dispensary TO
| minors, drunkards, ETC., for their patronage,
the evil and corruption that is within itself
will soon cause its death and the people will
bury it and its projectors deep in the grave
of scorn and disgust.
In the case of recognizing illegal appi-
cations for whiskey At the dispcns,ry, we
| ask in oil sincerely, wherein is the sound
ness of the poliac theory Of the dispcnsary,
! when everybody, minors, habitual drunk
ards, ETC., can get all the whiskcy they can
| pay for from the dispensary?
The only difference that We can see be-
tween the bsrroom nuisance and the dis
ponsary is, that the dIspensary cannot sell
| less than half n pint aud the purchaser is
| not allowed to get drunk at tho dispensary
| But he can take it to the club room or his
! bedroom and JON with any number of hila-
rous friends in buying any number OF TASKS
of 100 proof dispensary whiskcy and get on
as glorious drunk as they could before the
State assumed sole paternal guardianship
| over her sober, her wayward, her moral and
| her christian sons and daughters, in the
| matter of debating when, how aud where
| they shall obtain and use such stimulants rs
they may tbiuk they need or wish to drink.

For the TIMES.
NOT A DErECTIvE.

SIR. EpI1oR:-The report has been circu
lated in town and unity that 1. with se'era
Others, had been appointed DisPeosary
detective. This, considered as JOKE
originating OF the play given by the Union
Minstrels, q week or two ago, and PAID no at
tention TO il. for l could not think that any
one would be SO malicious as TO start sucn
report to ipjure me in my business. Having
lust been informed by friends that the report
Is being circulated through the county as
true, I think it is time to call halt ana
make a positive denial. Permit me, there
fore, TO cay to the public. through your co..
vmns, that, specking for myself DOLLY, l
pronounce the report az utterly false ana
without the slightest foundation. L have
not been appointed detective, constable, or
SPY, and have never been approached en- the
subject, verbally or in writing, by anyo e,
and do not care to be.
1 have not so far found IL necessary to
'.spy around for a living. and trust II may
never be necessary. Having no enemies in
town that am aware Of, 1 can only attribute
the report to joke. aud have no idea that
the party origin ntipg it, thought it was going
to be believed by anyone, much less circu-
lated over the whole county as the truth to
my injury This shows what mischief can
result from a word said in jest.
Respectfully,
JNo. II. MATHIS.

The State Press Association.
/ Hos years past IL has been source oi
sincere rsgret TO US that We have not been
able TO attend the annual meetings Of the
State Press Association, but when we state
that s,. -~.-. ------ =. L--- -: :.v-. . ..i;,e
beyond the corporate limits Of this town, ex-
ccpt twice, from physical in6rmity. We think
we give sufficient excuse for our absence.
I've are not mistaken we are theIonly sur
yivins member Of the ante 6elium Association,
whsn Or. r. w. Gibbes was president and
such abe and popular editors Of the daily
and weekly papers Of the State - Hayden,
Caslisle, Tabor, Simkins, johnson and Ar
thur were members.
Notwithstanding we have been providen-
italy prevented from participating in the
pleasant social aud business gatherings Of
our brethren Of the press, we feel IS one Of
! them and take as deep an ints-es: il t5s
proceedings Of their meetings as the most
active member can, and are truly gratifed
at the practical business manner that char
acterized the transactions Of the late meet
ing. We join most heartily in the unaui-
nous regret expressed by the Association in
the retirement Of that model citizen and able
edItor, w. II. Wallace, from the journalism
of the State. II will be hard TO find man
capable Of filling his place, and we shall part
w}th him with @, much sorrow as we would
81 at parting with our most valued friend.
But the Association made happy selec-
tipn, we think, in selecting Mr.. Hugh Will
sop, of the AbbeviIle Press and Banner, to
succeed MIR. Wallace as President.
I'VE take the following from the closing
proceedings of the meeting:
editor Hugh Wilson, nf the Abbevile
Press and Banner, was unanimously elected
president for the ensuing year. Mr.. Il. 7.
Joyn9s, of the Keowee Courier, vice-presi-
dent; Capt. John g. Capers Of the Columbia
Journal, second vicc-president. MIR. G. II.
Prince, despite his declina,ion, was unaDi-
mously chosen secretary Of the association.
Maj. Franz Me,chers, Of Charleston, was
likewise reelected treasurer, and the Rev.
Sidi II. Brown, chaplain.
president Wilson, on assuming the chair,
expressed his appreciation Of the honor con-
| ferred upon him.
| 1.-THE following, introduced by Mr.. Lang
| ston, was unanimously adopted:
| '"Resoi iued, That our association has heard
| with thankful appreciation the able, thought
full aRd philosophical address from retiring
President w. III. Wallace, and request that he
furnish a copy of the same for publication in
our minutes.
| "Resolved, 2. That we learn with regret
Of his contemplated retirement from the ted
ofjournalism, and hope that he may alst
have unbounded success in the school room
to which ho carries rips scholarship ant
large experience with men and things.
"Resolucd, g. That we extend to him ou
sincere thanks for the able, impartial anc
uniformly courteous manner in which he ha
presided over the deliberations Of our asso
citation for the past two years.
"Mr. Wallace expressed his qualification
at this manifestation of esteem.
