It is gratifying to not the fact that
many of the officers and men compos-
ing these commands were opposed to
the Dispensary law, but they did not
allow political prejudice to seduce
them from the discharge of their duty.

at o'clock Saturday evening; others
came in during the night, and By Sun
day evening 10 companies, numbering
Ats men, had reached, the city: Is.iy
saturday I had telegraphed to the
Sheriffs of Florence and Darlington
Counties to swear in posse comltGtus
and find the Constables. and afford
them protection The Sheriff OF Darl-
lington telegraphed me that
he was powerless, and that
nothing but troops could keep
| the peace and restore order. Dur
ling Friday night Q mob had broken
Into and destroyed or stolen over half
the stock in the Dispensary at Flor
ence belonging to the State, and q
similar mob. or some of the same, had
looted the Dispensary at Timmons-
vile.

that could afford to take 10 chances,

zens of this city. who passions were
being lashed into fury by the utterances
