INVENTORS.

There was never time in the his
tory of our country when the demand
for inventions and improvements In
the arts and sciences generally was SO
great as now. The convenlences OF
mankind in the factory and work
shop, the household, on the farm, and
in official life, require continual &C
cesslons to the appurtenances and
implements of each in order to save
labor, time, and expense. The political
change in the administration of the
government does not affect the progress
of the. American inventor, wi being
On the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit
the affairs of government to deter MIN
from quickly conceiving the remedy to
overcome existing discrepancies. Too
great care cannot be exercised IN choos
nga competent and skillfully attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an ap-
plication for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in in
Vulnerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and
especially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
nav" system. Inventors who entrust
their business to this class Of attorneys
do SO at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor
to get an allowance and obtain the
fee then due. The PRESS CLAIMS

Georgia has recently lost a his

House at Milledgeville, erected in

Secession Convention, where
Ro ',ert Toombs uttered the famous

it," and where Alexander Fl
Stephens said: "The point of re-

The city of Charleston seems to
be the last stronghold of the old
liquor sellers, and they are deter
mined to make it necessary fo1
Gov. Tillman to crush them by
force of arms. He will do it, and
every law-abiding citizen should
hold up his arms in SO doing. The
following report Of Chief Consta-
ble Gailliard, and Gov. Tillman's
comments will fully explain the
status:
CHARLESTON, Jan. 26, 1894.
Gov. B. R. Tillman, Columbia, S. G.
DEAR SIR: 1 beg leave to report
the following: On the 18th we
made a raid on two places. John
Black, in King street; here we
found and seized about seven gal
Ions of liquor; the other was made
on a man by the name of Bottyer.
where We only found about one
pint OF liquor. The first named
place was quiet. At the second we
had little trouble in keeping the
crowd out. They showed the spirit
of determined resistance to the en-
forcement of the law. Here was
developed what had stated to you
short time since-the conspiracy
of the liquor men, and the organi-
zation known as the Barkeepers
and Bartenders' Association, which
has been formed, I believe, for the
purpose of determined resistance
against the enforcement of the
dispensary law. I have the names
of the officers of this association
and have been informed of their
proposed intentions, developing
what I consider conspiracy
against the law and lives of the
State officers.
On the oath inst. we raided F.
Jordan on King street. At this
place Mr.. Legare's action as attor-
ney for this association confirms
my suspicious. This raid devel-
oped later in the day to serious
outbreak, in which Mr.. J. G. El-
liot was attacked by the mob on
Vanderhorst street, and had it not
been fer the timely interference of
the chief of police, it would have
resulted in bloodshed. Later in
the evening there was a meeting Of
the liquor dealers, and their MT
merous sympathizers held what
they termed all indignation meet
ing, where the most violent lal-
guage was used. After this meet
ing the crowd formed in process
sion and marched up town and at
tackled the boarding house of Char
lie McCauts, and shot in the build

It looks like Charleston was
about to realize the dream of the
last half century and enjoy direct
trade with Europe. The jetties
which are nearing completion have
deepened the water on the bar SO
that vessels carrying nearly 10000
bales of cotton have loaded at the
city wharves and passed over the
bar safely. It is believed that
there will soon be a depth of
twenty-five feet Of water on the

ing and tried to force the way
over the policemen at the door to
get in the constables boarding at
that place. The entire force OF
the constabulary was concentrated
at my residence by advice, after
consultation with Chief Martin
with whom I have been acting
since the excitement began.
Chief Martin and his police
force have performed their duty
faithfully aud impartially, and ]
feel that I cannot say too much
in behalf of the determined &C
tioa of Chief Martin and his
force.
Notwithstanding jeers, insults,
and threats offered us we have
continued our work. This, how.
ever, has been done under the most
trying circumstances. Each man
performed his part quietly under
the law, and I take pleasure in
saying that they have been or
derly, and quietly bearing the
abuse with commendable forbear-
ance.
There have been several arrests
under the dispensary act, Section
30. There must be something
done in the enforcement of this
section. Should there not be con.
victions for this violation, there
will be personal encounters aid
bloodshed. There are men who
follow, ON horseback, the consta.
bles on the street from point tc
point, and also by paid spotter 5
who are very threatening in theil
manner, and we have heard from
their mouths threats against oul
lives.
Some action should be taken al
once to avoid such sacrifice. There
are strangers here whom We have
located, and we may at any time
be driven to kill in self-defence.
These conclusions are reached
by information through friends
and is not the opinion of an alarm.

terday and asked by the several
newspaper men who called on him
about the new developments in the
matter, if there were any. For
half an hour the Governor talked
over the situation. When asked if
he intended to pay the fine in Ell
liot's case, he quickly remarked:
1 do not intend to, and I am sure
that If Mr.. Whaley does SO he will
do so out of his own pocket"
Governor Tillman was then ask
ed about the action of the trial
Justice in Charleston, who heard
Elliot's case, and the decision and
the Justices reasons for it were
reviewed. In speaking of it the
Governor said:
"He might as we'll send in his
resignation as trial justice. We
do not want nor will we have any
trial justices who are afraid to
uphold the law and run counter to
the opinion of any set of men. If
he won't carry out the law we've
got to have somebody that will. So
far as the evidence is concerned it
amounts to nothing, and it would
take the testimony of dozens of
such as testified in this case to
make me believe that Mr.. Elliot
struck woman"

When Governor Tillman was
asded if he had heard anything
from the Charleston military as to
their course, he said: Yes; I have
heard from Capt. Cogswell, and he
advises me that not only his COM
mand, but all the other companies
of Charleston are ready to assist

the State; so I'll not have 10 send
