DARLINGTON, 5. C., April Upon
receipt of news of the arrival of 3Ot
state troops being sent here under
Gen. r. n. Richbourg, the advisory
committee promptly met After a Sc
rious consideration of all sides of the
question, il was decided that no
effort would be made to have
the troops stopped. nor would
any resistance be offered to their
taking quarters here. 1t was
some time before they could convince
some of the more hot-headed citizens
that this was the best and only course
to pursue.
Prominent citizens from Columbia and
other parts of the state begged the
people of Darlington to receive the
military without demonstration.
The Darlington guards have gone
to meet the military which at 9:l5 had
not yet arrived.
The following message has been re-
ceived by the advisory committee:

prostitute their homes by making bar

against " hat they term an invasion of
their private rights. The truth OF
the whole matter is that Darlington
has been a hotbed of anti-Tillmanisn,
or. more properly speaking, the right
of the people to rule and cont:cI the
government of the state; and it is not
surprising that this trouble should
break out at this place. 1t is an effort
on their part to destroy Ti.lrDan and
the right of the people to choose theif

the saddle in 1890. They were strong
enough and determined enough in
other states in the south to get rid Of
the bourbon element, but have ruined.

erratic and wild leadership. This
thing could not have amounted
