PROCLAMATION.
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,

EHECUTlNE 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 ODE, 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 its 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 resis 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

De 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 capi-
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:
Citise.e-soNiers, Volunteers, a1a0
.Felloeo Citizens:
South Carolina to-day is attrs Ct
ing the attention of the entire
United States. The situation here
is so grave and so anomalous that
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 anu
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 he 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 saloon, if
private residence can be made a
bar from which whiskey can be
transmitted into pockets, orzby
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 70 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
I will exert all the powers I have to
see that all the laws are obeyed.
(Cheers.)
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.

In conclusion I will say

TO KILL GOVERNOR TILLMAN.

I will not give his name, because I
do not care to advertise lin but
can do it when necessary. Threat
ened men live longest; barking
dog does not always bite. There
never has been one moment when
I fe,t the least uneasiness for my
personal safety. My life is not
worth much to me, but is worth as
much as any other MANS and rath-
cr than desert my post to my
enemies by leaving the executive

sion occurred at Darlington the
news was flashed from end of South
Carolina to the other that an arm
ed mob Hundreds of men it was
said were mounted, in pursuit of
the States officers, charging them
with having wantonly provoked
the conflict and murdered innocent
citizens. How do the facts bear
out the statement? The constables
had discharged their duty, and had
gone to the depot; they had been
sent to Darlington because the six
who were on the ground had been
nearly mobbed the first day, had
to desist from the execution of
warrants and return TO their hotels,
and when the chief was ordered
here with reinforcements, the
mayor had allowed them to be in
suited, abused, and cursed to their
faces; an armed mob bad broken
into the armory and stolen the
guns of the military company, and
the spectacle was presented of citi-
zens seizing the arms of the State
for the purpose of shooting down
officers of the State. I ordered out
the local company, and the captain
telegraghed me he had recovered
the guns; not trusting his COM
mand / ordered the Sumter COM
pany to go there; when they re-
ported everything was quiet I or
dered them to return home.
Now when the constables got to
the depot, two boys, stripplings,got
into fight. enc got whipped and
ran off and got reinforcements and
came back with 25 or so men 1--WE
don't know now many), armed to
the teeth; they rushed down 10
the depot and picked quarrel
with the constables; the collision
occurred, men were killed on both
sides, and the fault cannot be
clearly placed yet, if it is ever
clearly placed. Now the Mayor of
Darlington said that the taking of
the arms by the mob was fun
the same kind Of fun we have seen
elsewhere in the State. The armo-
ries were broken into here and the
armory Of Chester was broken into
and some of the militia have been
in open mutiny against the Com
monder-in-chief and have refused
to obey orders; but, thank God,
enough were left to respond to the
of you old soldier
boys to realize the danger, and
know that this government is of the
people, by the people and for the
people, and no oligarchy ahall
ever rule it again. You responded
to the call of the Governor, and
are here to uphold the law.
(Cheers.

TO THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED

In conclusion will say
TO THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED
to thiss 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 aggravato the situation;
I never will. I cannot, 1 will not,
I dare not allow the minority to
come forward and say this is a 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 Gamble similarly abrogated by
a minority, and all law become
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, so,help me God. (Cheers.)
EVANS READS AN ORDER.
At the e3conclusion of his address
Gov. Tillman turned and
entered the capitol. Col. Nixon
brought the troops to carry, and
the judge advocate general then
proceeded to read as follows:
GENERAL ORDER 10. 10.
The emergency requiring the as
sembling of troops at the capital
no longer exists and the colonel
commanding will return them to
their homes by the nearest practi-
cahlv route on the first outgoing
train. The commander of each
companyof militia and volunteers
will give a certificate to the rail
road conductors of the number of
men transported and the point to

gallant and patriotic soldiers and
citizens, who at moments notice,
dropped their various avocations
and pursuits to respond to his call.
Their action is a 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. It shows to
the world, however. when the
masses of the people uphold the
government. treachery and mutiny
cannot overthrow it.

THE RIDICULOUS SIDE OF 1T.

In some respects it has the ap-
pearance ofa Lig April fool but bat
it occurred on the 3Oth of March.
I say these men were advertising
themselves to the world as lynch
ers, and that they intended to
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 a shot at a
single constable. They waylaid
constables at the depots, but have
never seen one since the first fire
(laughter), and it seems they
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1894-04-11

didn't want to find the constables.
If they were lynchers,as they adj
yertised 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 N 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 1. was among
them). but they were all of one
mind. We were all brothers, we
we're all friends and arolinians
and patriots. To-day we find the
State divided into two hostile
camps. Why2 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.

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 SANDER and
misrepresentation. I wear a coat
of mail which they have never
pierced-that is an honest heart
desirous of bettering the interests
of this State, and looking to the
welfare of the whole people. But
fellow citizens this strained rela-
tionship between factions in
South Carlina must stop must
cease, it cannot go on without
precipitating civil war.

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-
cracy is to govern in this country
they have got to submit to the rule
of the majorety. These two news
papers are like a thorn in the flesh
which continues to tester. They
will not let the wound which was
caused in 1890 by the displace-
ment of the old order of things
and the establishment of the rule
the of people, heal. They.

the men in different places in this

Darlington offering assistante,

cannot be disproved that they are

and when I ordered troops to go
there to stop insurrection, to stop
this mob, restore law, protect life
and property, and let the law re-
sumo it's sway, they wouldn't obey.
The mayor said he had the right
to arrest; Of course he did, but he
had no right to send out a mob

sheriff, or some regularly constitu-
ted constable in charge of it.

GREAT. FALLS ELECTRIC RAILWAY
BILL.-The bill amending the charter
of the Washington and Great Falls
Electric Railway Company has been re-
turned to the President by the District
of Columbia commissioners. While
they recommend favorable executive
action upon the measure they state that
tits not altogether satisfactory, but the
Objectionable provisions do not, in their
judgment, so urgently require modifi-
cation as to justify recommendation
for the disapproval of the bill in view
of the general importance of the mea-
sure and of the probability that the ne
cessary remedial legislation can be
readily obtained. The principal ground
of the commissioners objection is the
route provided from the point where
the line enters the city proper to its
terminus near Prospect street, making
n satisfactory connection with the pro
posed union transfer station impracti-
cable.
