cost $4,000 to enforce the law" Al
together, he said, the minimum profit
would not be less than a half million
dollars for the first year.
Governor Tillman talked with deter
mination about the enforcement Of the
law. He said that he had just ordered
fifty badges for special consta5les and
detectives, and he was going to have
good corps Of constables and detectives
to make arrests, seize whiskeys and see
that the law was properly enforced as
well. They will perhaps keep an eye
on the county dispensers and no doubt
also give an eye to clubs, which hesays
under Sections 2l and - prevent the
dispensing or keeping Of liquor in
club for use by its members.
When asked about the business be
said: "Our idea is TO have samples of
all leadlng breWeries analysed. Every
body will be given fair chance and
when selections are made and beer
offered on the market the tables will be
identical, except as to the numbers,
that is No. will represent the beer Of
certain brewery and No. of another
brewery. The labels will set forth that
it is bottled exclusively for the South
Carolina State dispensary. Beers that
have been offered US show a variation
of as much as So so cask of bottles
(ten dozen pints) Our idea in putting
on numbers is to do away with the
difference which long established repu-
tation has had on many inaginations.
We propose to let beer, after it has
stood the chemical test, stand the test
of the stomach and do away with an
imaginary superiority. We won't force
our people to drink slops because they
are made at home and are cheap. We
will not buy high-priced beer because
it has reputation that ls not better
than a home product. All the beer
must stand on its own merits in the
market and will be sold at the uniform
price of fifteen cents per bottle. We
will encouraged in every way possible,
and hope the Legislature will allow
US to put it on draught where it can be
obtained cheap. Ice will be used and
beer will be sold IN palatable shape.
The State board of control will receive
proposals from different ice companies
that choose to compete for the contract
to provide ice for the summer for the
county dispensers.
"It is the duty Of the county board
of control to inform themselves as soon
as possible as to the kinds and qualities
of the liquors, wines, etc, required to
meet the demand in their respective
counties, and give the information to
the State commissioner at as early a
date as practicable, Regular official
orders for liquors must come through

politics and scarecrows in everything

the News and Courier and The State

The Herald and News is very anx-
ious to see peace in South Carolina,
but this we will never have until the
extreme men on both sides are rele-
gated to the rear. There has been too
much elimination and recrimination
on all sides and there can never be
peace until we get a new set of leaders
and get rid of this everlasting abuse
and fault-finding. There will have to
be concession on all sides. AS long as
we keep up at the present rate we are
only getting farther apart and there is
no prospect of getting closer together.
Strange, too, the mass of the people
who are keeping up this everlasting
strife reap no benefits from it.

The Supreme Court in deciding the
Chester case in regard to the liquor
question had to overrule two of the de-
cisions of the court made some years
ago. This decision will be the law
until it is overruled. We are in such
a state of condition that we hardly
know where we really are at. This
last decision may be, and no doubt is,
the right and proper construction of
the law on the questions raised, but
there seems to be no certainty in any
thing any more. What is one way
to-day may be another way tomorrow.
Well, you know it is all right so long
as it is right. The Governor is placing
big orders for whiskey all the same,
and if there is any money to be made
out of the sale of whiskey the State
proposes to make it. The palmetto
tree has been blown into the States

and in the name of the great State of
South Carolina.

Some of the clubs are paying no heed
to the call for a caucus and will not
participate in its proceedings but leave
themselves free to act as freemen and
vote in the primary as their conscience
and best judgment may dictate.
That is right and proper. The Herald
and News has abiding faith in the good
common sense Of the people and while
they may be fooled for awhile, they
will generally do what is right. The
object of the primary is to give each
man the right to vote as he pleases and
if he binds himself up in caucus be
voluntarily takes away from himself
that liberty.

That is to say, it is now believed that

Secretary of the Treasury, upon these

that what is so obviously for the public
welfare as the repeal of this law can be
put through Congress, even though the
fight be hard one.
Although these are separate mea-
sures, the belief is that a sufficient
number in Congress will combine to
pass them. Mr.. Carlisle, it is said, is
Of the opinion that while the bill fol

The old silver guard in Congress, as
one of them declares, will be strong

repeal of the Sherman law. He insists
that if it is repealed finally, it will be
because the silverites get something

C0LUM BIA, May 22.-1tis understood
thct the South Carolina and Richmond
and Danville roads will in a few days
file their suits against the sheriffs fol
tying up their trains during the recent
tax fight. The Richmond and Dan
Vile will make its damages for $4,000
and the South Carolina road for So, 600.
It is asserted that these figures are
based on the actual losses of the roads
by the holding of their trains. Mr..
Crawford, the special lawyer engaged
in these cases, will probably enter the
suits. He went to Charleston this
afternoon in company with Receiver
Oakman. They will 60 from Charles

removal of Receiver Conner is to be
made. Attorney General Townsend
has not yet received any intimation
about the damage suits and thinks
that the railroads had better gel

they begin on new tack.
Sheriff Nance has not yet paid his
fine to the Court, and the Court will nc
doubt in few days order an execution
against him or his official bond. Gov
ernor Tillman does not expect to give
the record-breaking sheriff any finan

TALKING DISPENSARY.

Governor Tillrnan was in the humor
to talk dispensary to-day, and this
evening, when I was at the mansion,
be gave out talk to be used in connec-
ton with other matters given out to-
day and go that everyone may be able
to understand the intentions Of the
dispensary management. He has at
last given out the off cial prices at which
LIQUOR will be sold under the dispensary
system. The cheapest whiskey is to be
retailed to the consumer at So per gal
lon, rs cents per quart, 40 cents per
pint and 20 cents per half pint, the
difference in smaller packages being
the cost of the packing and glass. This
price will apply to beth rye and corn
and the liquors sold at s. will cost 81 so
at the distilleries and will be of the
best quality obtainable at that price.
He went on to say that since he has
been investigating liquor be has dis
covered two things: First, that but
very little honest liquor is sold in this
Stale, very nearly all of it being COM
pounded liquor, and second, through
his dealings with glass manufacturers
of bottles and TASKS that dealers in this
State have been using TASKS from two
to eight QUIZ ces below the legal measure
ment. Quarts have run twenty six to
twenty-eight ounces, when they should
have been thirty-two ounces, and
smaller TASKS show the same propor-
ton. He had further discovered, he
remarked, that nine-tenths Of the
liquor sold in this State was from so to
80 per cent proof, when it should have
been 100. 1t has been watereCl, as we'll
as doctored and colored and sugared.
Practically none Of the liquor sold in
this State has run over the 80 per cent
proof. The whiskey that will he sold
by the dispensary will be from 20 to 80
per cent stronger than that now sold,
and there will be an absolutely honest
measure End an absolutely pure article.
II have collected about twenty-five
samples of liquors from different parts
ofthe State, which will be turned over
to DR.. Burney for chemical analysis as
soon as he has the time, and we will
show the people what kind of stuff
they have been drinking" said Gov
ernor Tillman. From the talk he has
had with men who sell liquor to dea-
lers in this State be was convinced that
nine-tenths of the whiskey sold in
South Caro- ina is not over two or three
months old and has not had time to
get mellow or lose its injurious proper
ties. When asked what he thought
about the opposition to the establish
ment of dispensaries he replied that
"tbe July sun would evaporate all that"
and that before long dispensarles will
be established in all Of the counties,
and before January even in those coun-
ties where there is now absolute prohibit
ton.
Then I asked him about profits to be
had out of the system and be replied:
"From the best information | have
been able to get from a variety ofsources
there is now over a million gallons Of
whiskey sold in the State, possibl y a
million and a half. We estimate that
there will be a falling of Of about one
third in consumption-certainly not
over half. We will get net profit OF
one dollar out of every gallon of whls-
key sold and, in addition, a consider

Senate unless he gains some votes from

Gov. Tillman thinks that the State
will make at least half million year
out of the sale of liquor the first year.
No wonder the prohibitionis's favor
the dispensary. But in order to do
this there will have to be a good deal
of the stuff drank. There will not be
much reduction IN the consumption.
Strange, is it not, how the hope Of a
little money will ease the conscience
of the ardent prohibitionists and those
who wanted prohibition from principle
and on account of the evils Of intem-
perance.

Governor Tillman has commuted the
sentence of Layelle, the Charleston
wife murderer, to imprisonment in the
penitentiary. The commission ap-
pointed to look into his sanity and re-
sponsibility for the act failed to agree
and hence the Governor was left in a
worse predicament than he was before
he appointed his commission, and he
has given the murderer the benefit OF
the doubt. But if the man is crazy it
seems to US that he has been sent to
the wrong place. He should have
been sent to the Asylum, the place
where they take the insane. 1t is

terest of the leaders to keep them
blinded, and for the past three years
almost everything has been run on the
plane of prejudice and passion, but

We publish in another column an
interview with Senator Butler in which
he defines his position on national
questions. He favors the free and un-
limited coinage Of silver and the repeal
Of the ten per cent. tax on the circula-
ton of State bank notes. He is of
opinion that these two things accom-
plished and the financial question
would be settled for twenty-five years.
He also favors an income tax. We

lieve State banks of issue would be
