FOOL OR MADMAN !?

The events of the last week in Charleston
have thrown new lights on the possibilities OF
the dispensary law. The story is given in
full 10 our news columns The mere digestion
of the facts should satisfy anyone that the dis
pensary law is an instrument Of outrage, and
that, as executed by the constables and upheld
by Gov. Tillmau, not only violates the rights
of citizenship but subverts other laws to per-
feet the outrage and protect the outragers
This man Elliott, without other excuse than
the advice OF passing negro, invades place
of business to make search for liquor II
there was any reason for the raid beyond
what the negro said to him it has never been

wife forbids the searching Of the store oy
Elliott. Elicit, who admits having been
drinking, slapped :he woman, some say he
struck her with his Est. For this assault ne
was indicted and tried before Trial Justice
Burnet, an official of unimpeached character.
Elliott was represented by an attorney and
did not desire jury. Witnesses were intro
duced proving that Elliott did strike the
woman. Elliott meets this evidence with the
statement that he did not strike the woman,
but mag have brushed against her in entering
the place. Witnesses testified that Elliott ad-
mitted at the time that he struck the woman.
He was convicted and sentenced according to
due process.

WEDGEF1ELD, January 90, 1894.
Isaac Cummings was committed to Jail today
to await trial for breaking in and stealing
meat from Hooper Brown. Cummings is one
that was thought to be implicated in stealing
Mr.. Aycock's cotton last Spring, but for
want of evidence to convict, was released.
Evidence is very strong against him In this
case. He was tracked to bis home aud on
search the meat was found between the mat
tresses where his wife was in bed sick.
Miss Laura Hammond, of Charlotte, is
visiting her aunt, Mrs 4. E. Aycock.
Mr.. W. S. Manning, of Spartanburg, is on

informed of what was occurring. and withou,
waiting to investigate or examine into the
case, telegraphed that be would pardon Ell.
liott, and be must not be committed to Jail.
By this act Gov. Tillman has set himself and
his dispensarY constabulary above the laws oI
the State aud the duly appointed Judicial
officers. he sets Law at naught, aud discredits
the official honesty of Trial Justice Burnea
aud the veracity of the six witnesses who
testified against Elliott. Gov. Tillman in
Columbfa decides case in Charleston, which
be knew nothing about, which he bad ue'
even Investigated, and, with no reason save
his own will, pardons the man who struck q
woman in her own house.
Gov. Tillman has by this act dons more t.
create disrespect for law aud incite lawless-
ness than the united effect Of all the violations
of the dispensary law.
The rieting and attempt to mob the dispen.
sary spies were violations Of the hw, and the
city government, through the police DEPART
ment, displayed the proper regard for the
Law by promptly suppressing the outbreak and
protecting the objects of the mob's fury. That
the disturbance was suppressed by the police,
end that no fresh outbreak has occurred satis'
6es US that the demonstration was the result
Of the Elliott outrage and was participated in
by a comparatively small part of the com.
munity. lfany large part Of the community
had desired to lynch the spies, they would
have beeu lynched, and the police would have
been powerless to preventit Therefore all oi
Gov Tilman's talk about calling ont the
militia, putting the city under martial law,
etc., seems to US more like political buncombe
than anything else. He is trying to raise SO
great dust by talking about martial law,
and conspiracies in Charleston, that his owu
disregard of law shall be hidden from public
view.
The rioting was wrong and did the city of
Charleston great injury. We know what we
are talking about, for we realize what a black
eye to Sumter was the eReing Of the spies last
summer. Those who took part in the disturb
ance should be brought to punishment and
madeto feel thai the better element Of TIE
community condemns lawlessness just as
much when displayed by anti-dispensary men
as when the spies are the guilty parties.
Charleston should not give Gov. Tillman
an opportunity to abuse the city, for there is
nothing be likes better. Let him and his
standing army of spies violate the laws, let
him distort the law to suit his purposes, but
let the people refrain from lswlessness.

ENFORCE THE Law.

The Dispensary Law should be enforced to
the very letter. We 60 further and say that
it should be enforced in the same spirit that
actuated its trainers when they conceived it
aud forced it through servile Legislature.
1t should be enforced in city, town and
country, without discrimination, for or
against any section or locality.
This is all that we ask Of Gov. Tillman,
who, as the Chief Executive Of the State has
solemnly sworn to obey aud execute all the
laws of the State. 1t is his duty to enforce
this and all other laws without fear or favor,
and be must do so, if be has any regard for
his oath
All we ask is that the law be rigidly ea-
forced, in all its provisions 80 that the people
in every nook and corner OF South Carolina,
from the rice fields to the hollows Of the Blue
Ridge, may know and feel It's infringement of
personal rights.
We should delight to see spy searching in
every homestead from the lowliest bowel to
the proudesr mansion, 90 that all would fully
realize what the Law permits Then would
the immoral, .yrannical and Infamous monop.
oily of 40 iniquitous traffic be spewed forth
aud trnmpled under foot.
Enforce the law by all means! Otherwise
the people will not learn that a mans house
is no longer his castle They will not know
that their houses may be invaded and search
ed without warrant or due process of law.
They will not re.lize that a dispensary spy,
perhaps an enemy, can say to himself, IL
believe will search this mans house" and
proceed to put the thought into execution
They will not feel the force of the law until
it is brought home to them that Imprisonment
follows the use of abusive language towards
the spies. Yes, we want the law enforced,
that it may destroy itself and Its trainers, as
II surely will
