PROCLAMATION.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,

SqATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
Columbia, S. c., April 3, 1894.
WHEREAS, Section 519 of the
General Statutes of this State de-
clares that "The Governor shall
have authority, whenever in his
Judgment it shall be necessary, to
arm the constabulary and in any
emergency to assume the sole con-
troll of the whole Or any part of
the municipal police in cities and
incorporated towns, and to author
ize the chief constable of the State
or any deputy chief constable to
command assistance in the execu-
tion of process, suppressing riots
and in preserving peace" and.
Whereas, it is made the duty
Of and the powor is given said
police to enforce the statute known
as the "dispensary law" but that
instead of obey ing the require
ments of said law, the said police,
except in very few towns, have
been an obstruction and are ac-
tive abettors of those who are
defying the law; whereas, under
the same statute the Governor is
given power to appoint State con-
stales for the purpose of it's enforce
ment; and whereas, the rebelious
and lawless element of society have
bounded and insulted these officers
and sedulo usly educated the pub
lie mind to regis tance, causing
several encounters, resulting in
bloodshed between constables and
illicit whlskey sellers, producing
intense excitement and danger to
the peace and welfare of the State.
Now tharefore. I, Benjamin R.
Tillman, Governor of the State of
South Carolina, do issue this my
proclamation giving full and
official notice to the municipal au-
thorities of every city and incor-
porated town in the State of South
Carolina and to the police and
marshals thereof, that under the
powers given me by said Section

be Enforced.
On Tuesday morning last, at 10
o'clock the State troops were march
ed from their quarters in the peni-
tentiary grounds to the State capt.
tol, preparatory to dismissing them
to their homes. When they had
been drawn up in line in front of
the capitol, the Governor spoke as
follows:
Citizen-soMiers, Volunteers, and
Felloao Citizens:
South Carolina to-day is attract
ing the attention of the entire
United States. The situation here
is so grave and SO anomalous that
II is proper for a clear and official
statement to go forth, and that an
analysis of the causes, which have
brought it about should be given
to the public. AS the Governor of
the entire people (for I have never
sought to be anything clse) that
statement can best come from me.
You all are familiar with the oc-
currences of the past four days
the conflict between citizens and
officers of the law. You are aware
Of the contention made by those
who are resisting the law-the dis
pensary law-that it is an invasion
of private liberty, that it is un-
constitutional and that it shall not
be enforced. That contention
should not be settled, as I have al
ready said, by arms.
THE PRIVATE HOUSE MATTER.
Now let US look for a moment at
the consequences. If the claim set
forth that private residences shall
not be searched for whlskey, is
once admitted, it simply repeals
the dispensary law, and it repeals
it in an unconstitutional manner !;
for if whiskey can be sold from
private residences, if a mans house
can be turned into a saloon, if a
private residence can be made a
bar from which whiskey can be
transmitted into pockets, or-by
other means to regular saloons, and
we are not permitted to 60 in that
private residence, search for and
seize contraband goods, you can
readily see it is useless 20 pretend
to say that we have a dispensary
law. It is law, was enacted by
the Legislature and it is on the
Statute books. I, as chief execu-
tive, have sworn that the laws of
this State shall be obeyed and re-
spected; and Until the dispensary
law is repealed legally
so HELP ME- GOD
will exert all the powers I have to
see that all the laws are obeyed.
(Cheera.
Now, gentlemen, we will not dis
cuss the reasons, why's and where
fores, and advantages and disad-
vantages of the dispensary law
that will be political issue in the
coming campaign, and you, the
sovereign people of South Caro-
lima, will pass on it at the ballot
box.

which distills day by day poison
into their system, and will not let
the fever subside. They give me
credit for nothing. In their
vocabulary Governor Tillman'a
side of the ledger is all debit and
no credit. They try to sting me
personally by abuse slander and
misrepresentation. I wear coat

desirous Of bettering the interests
of this State, and looking to the
welfare of the whole people. But
fellow citizens this strained rela-

didn't want to find the constables.
If they were lynchers,as they adj
vertised themselves to be, why
didn't they lynch the man whom
they claimed originated the trou-
BILE, and whom they had in their
power? They have slandered them
selves by proclaiming that they
would lynch those who had caused
it, but would not lynch the man
whom they say did cause it.

TAE SCENE IN 1876.

Now, gentlemen, it is proper for
me to rocall the scenes witnessed
here IN 1876. Wehn South Caro-
lima learned that troops had seized
this State House, within two days
time this whole encampment back
to the monument was black with
indignant citizens I. was among
them). but they were all of one
mind. We were all brothers, we
were all friends and Car olinians
and patriots. To-day we find the
State divided into two hostile
camps. Why? Simply because the
the minority are not willing to let
the majority govern. The body
polite is diseased; it is in fever.
Why? Because in this city aud
in Charleston the people have
taken to their bosoms.

they cooperate with the executive

In conclusion I will say
TO THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED

TO THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED
to this law to submit, to quit, to
cease their opposition; they must
cease it.. We are not going to sur
rendera good law because they are
opposed to it: I propose to uphold
the law. I have never done any,
thing to aggravate the situation;
1 neyertwill. I cannot, 1 will not,
I dare not allow the minority to
come forward and say this is bad
law; we don't want it and will not
obey it; you cannot enforce it. If
this law is thus annulled, then any
law canEbe similarly abrogated by
a minority, and all law become a
farce. We have thousands of other
good men besides yourselves who
are ready to respond. The people
of South Carolina must govern the
State, and those who are in rebel
bon must get out of the road, be-
cause the train is on the track; I
have got the throttle in my hand
as Governor; I am going in on
time, so5help me God. (Cheers.)
EVANS READS AN ORDER.
At the conclusion of his address
Gov. Tillman turned and
entered the capitol. Col. Nixon
brought the troops to a carry, and
the judge advocate general then
proceeded to read as follows:
GENERAL ORDER NO. 10.
The emergency requiring the as
semblings of troops at the capital
no longer exists and the colonel
commanding will return them to
their homes by the nearest practi-
cable route on the first outgoing
train. The commander of each
companyof militia and volunteers
will givea certificate to the rail
road conductors of the number of
men transported and the point to
which theyEgo, which vii be a

gallant and patriotic soldiers and
citizens, who at a moments notice,
dropped their various avocations
and pursuits to respond to his call.
Their action is stinging rebuke
to those companies which failed to
do their duty in this crisis when
civil war and anarchy seemed to
stare us in the face. 1t shows to
the world, however. when the
masses of the people uphold the
government, treachery and nutiny
cannot overthrow it.

I say these men were advertising
themselves to the world as lynch

lynch these constables who were
in the woods; none of them guilty
of having started the row, they
were galloping and hurrahing over
the country, sending for reinforce
ments and all bearing arms, but
they have never fired shot at a

constables at the depots, but have
never seen one since the first fire

I deny that we have done anything
except in accordance with the law
and the constitution. These men
who have opposed us, and are still
opposing US must come to their
senses and realize that if Demo-

they have got to submit to the rule
of the majorety. These two news

body was floating. tied a rope around
it and toWed it to the bank. Careful
investigation and expert testimony
could ascertain nothing with certainty
as to the race or color Of the man, the
body being in such state of decompo'
sition, but it is believed that he was a
white man. He was barefooted, had on
black pants, a very old coat, leather
belt and overalls. 1t is thought that
the man was murdered though no marks
of violence could be detected. There
is a camp of hands very near where the
body was found who probably know
more than they will tell. The man was
evidently put in the river below PelzeI
