A Topeka, Kaus., special says:
r. S. Osborne. Secretary Of State,
when told that General Coxey had been
arrested became much excited and gave
utterance to some wild remarks. He
said: II know what the charge is.
I expect that this uprising must be put
down. There will be no other action
by the people until the next election ;
then simultaneously with she returns
flames will be shot up into the air
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
every p~alatial residence will be de-
stroyed in this spontaneous uprising
of the people, Woe unto them who
have sought to stay this tide for the
last six months. Farmers are prepar-
iug for this. They are selling horse or
COW aud buying rifles with the pro-
ceeds, aud many mechanics are doing
the same.

arrest of General Coxey will prove to
be a serious bluuder. He said i: will

: "Don't You Take tt"

The State authorities are evidently
determined that treasurers shall not
accept any money rendered for liquor
licenses. instructions had already been
given to that effect, but as soon as GER
tain cities and towns decided to issue
licenses additional instructions were
sent out to treasurers yesterday. Tue
following note on the subject was re-
ceived by Treasurer Campbell, and
presumably by all t~reasurers
COLUMBIA, S. c April 80, 1894.
Dear Sir:
County treasurers. until further To-
structed. will not receive any money
rendered them as licenses for the sale of
liquors. Respectfully,
W. Fl. Ellerbe, G. G.
per G. G c. G..
At the Comptroller Generals Office it
was stated that the reason for issuing
such orders to treasurers was because
the decision by the Supreme Court vas
not clear, and the State did not want
to have any trouble about the license
business until it knew really where it
was Eat" When licenses were paid in
January, 1892, for the whole year the
State was put to considerable trouble
in settling the question as to rebate,
but this time she intended to have no
litigation on the subject.
The remittitur in the Columbia cases
was filled with Clerk Arthur this more
ing. This will prevent any ~rehearing
Of the cases recently decided.

so far no one had rendered bin any
money for licenses. He said his former
instructions on the subject were ver-

What it Means.

The following is a copy Of a circular
that has been sent out by Attorney
General Buchanan to trial justices all
over the State:
Under the order of the governor,
am required to take charge Of any
litigation that may arise under the
liquor laws of the State You will, there.
fore, if any case be instituted in your
court under any law on the statute
book. instantly communicate With me
by telegraph"
The trial justices generally seem to be
at a loss to understand what the circular
means. The Enquirer thinks it under
stands the matter fully. The explana-
ton is about as follows Technically,
the recent decision of the supreme court,
declaring the dispeDsary law uncou-
stitutional, applies only to the act of
1892. The law Of 1893 has not yet
been passed upon 1t is a rule, almos.
inviolable, that when a majority of the
supreme court decides any point of law,
the minority, although at the time
delivering a dissenting opinion, from
thence forward, concurs when the case
comes up again. The recent decision
was on the constitutionality of the
States engaging in the liquor business.
If this same question should come up
before this same court again. Justice
Pope would be almost obliged to concur.
Then, under no circumstances, could he
90 back on that concurrence. The
State, for the present, is out Of the
liquor business. The constitution is no
longer being violated, and under the
present status of affairs. it would be
a Difficult. problem to raise a constitu-
tional question that would put the new
Law before the supreme court. 1t is
evidently the idea Of the administration
to have the attorney general to take
charge of all liquor prosecutions. Upon
notice that any trial justice has a case.
he will at once investigate the matter
thoroughly, and if there is danger Of
the presentation Of a constitutional
question, the case will be promptly
pigeonholed or thrown out. This policy
will be continued until Judge Gary
takes his seat on the bench. Then the
doors of the ~dispensary will again be
thrown open. Barkeepers will be pro-
secuted, or the State dispensary
eojoiued The matter will again
90 to the supreme court. the
dispensary Law Of 1898 will be
declared constitutional, and the
old regime will be continued as
before the recent decision -Yorkville

A Cry of Distress.

Bluftop, April 29.-At a meeting Of
the farmers Of Button Township,
Beaufort County, sc, held this day
iu the village of Blufton, John NJ.
Warnack presiding. the following
preamble and resolutions were adopted /:
Whereas, the white farmers Of this
Township, numbering me hundred and
twenty families, lost their entire cotton
crop and 80 per cent. Of their corn and
other food products by the August
cyclone ; and
Whereas, they have no money nor
means of support. either for their fami-
lies or for conducting farm operations ;
And whereas, they have tried to live
and plant without making any appeal for
help to the general public. who have al
ready given thousands Of dollars through
the Red Cross to our colored sufferers in
u midst, we receiving none Of that
generous help, except a little meal and
grits to two or three extremely helpless
families, although our township was in
the heart of the storm and in the midst
of the sea islands:
And, whereas, we find after careful
investigation and thoughtful cousidera-
ton that ninety per cent of these fam
lilies (who are small farmers) are in a
destitute condition, and unless speedy
relief is given, there will be terrible
suffering amongst them. This town
ship is the farming district of Beaufort
county, eighty per cent. Of the white
farmers in the county living therein,
aud excepting about $500, given by
Col. White and Mrs. Talblrd, special
relief committee of Beaufort, to a few
Of the most destitute families. they have
received nothing in the way Of ASST
stance.
1t is not DOW a matter or question Of
pride, but one of necessity and ext.
stence. that compels US to ask help to
tide these bard-workipg, worthy, but
unfortunate people over their terrible
ordeal, and to keep hunger from the
mouths Of their children, and this Sec
ton from inevitable ruin.
Therefore be it resolved, That We, in
this dire calamity. ask the good and
generous public, who have already given
SO many aims around US, to extend a
helping hand to these farmers until
their crops come in: That the Hon.
Thos. Martin, master Of this county,
and Professor Clarence B. Kirk, and
another that they may associate With
them, be, aud are hereby requested. by
this meeting to form themselves into a
committee. known as the '.Bluftoo

such committee, to act for US and solicit
contributions and help for these farmers

Got on His Knees to Hang.

The quiet town Of Prosperity, located
on the line of the Columbia, Newberry
aud Laurens, aud Richmond and Dan
vile roads, about forty miles from
Columbia. was yesterday thrown into a
considerable state Of excitement, so a
gentleman who arrived in the city last
night says, by the suicide of a negro
prisoner in the station house, by hang
ing.
The fellow was named Dan Shep-
pard. He was a powerful built mu-
latto. On Monday evening he was arrest.
ed for assault and battery and attemp-
ted criminal assault upon the person Of
his s%tep.daugbter, Mary Bouknight, a
mulatto girl about 20 years of age. The
city authorities placed him in the satioo
house for the night. He told Town
Marshall White when he locked him
up;that be .'reckoned they would hang
him this time" He meant by this that
he feared serious consequences. Once
before he had been arrested on the same
charge, but his wife being the only wit
ness against him be vas discharged
from custody.
The negro seemed to have been thor
oughly resolved upon self.destruction.
He proceeded after he was locked up to
make himself a rope out of the crocus
sack covering on the bed, tying it
securely around his neck. He then
tied the other end to the grating Of the
window, which was no higher than
himself. Then he knelt down and
choked to death deliberately When
the town marshal went to the station
house yesterday morning to carry him
his breakfast be found the fellow in a
STOPPING attitude, his head hanging over
on his breast, cold 10 death.
The corner held an inquest and a
verdict of death by strapgulation was
rendered.
The negroes of the town seem to be
glad the negro's career is ended, for he
was considered a desperate fellow.-The

Edgefield Divided Between
Butler and Tillman.

Poverty, Hill, s. C., May The
Butler Tillman senatorial campaign has
been opened in this State, and from all
indications it bids fair to be a mos,
stormy affair from start to finish. The
Darlington escapade aud subsequent
loss of the ~dispeusary have proved
wouuding thornsin the side Of the Gov
ernor, from which be will be some time
in recovering, despite the fact that bis
usual bravado is on deck and he smiles
while others fear.
Much interest has been entered in the
contest before the Merriwether Dem
ocratic Club which is the township to
which both gentlemen belong and where
they must vote. This contest came of
last Saturday and while somewhat
stormy it was decidedly in favor Of Gen.
Butler. A meeting Of the club was
called by President H. H. Townes, for
the purpose of reorganization. 1t did
not take long for the fact to develop
that the two wings Of Democracy as
represented iu this club could not agree
aud the followers of Gen. Butler with
drew from the meeting aud going on
the outside organized a campaign club
of their own. President Townes
remained with the old club until all
business had beea transacted, when he
resigned not only the presidency, but
formally renowned bis allegiance to
Ben. Tilmau. Joining the Butler
element, be was Immediately selected as
president.
The new club has carried away over
one-half of the old organization and is a
clear victory for Gen. Butler at his own
home.
The old club contained about l65
members and already nearly one hun
dred have been enrolled in the Butler
club.
