/ NIoonshine Factory.

SPARTASBURG, Jan. 24.-An Illicit
distillery, operated in the heart Of the
city, For several days past the car
penters and brick masons have been at
work remodeling the store owned Y
the Trimmer estate. which was until
recently occupied by Charles Huse-
man as q barroom. This store had been
used as saloon for ten years or more,
but during that time nobody ever sus-
pected the possibility of operating a
''moonshine" attachment in the base
ment. This is found now to be a pos
sibility, and indeed q most reasonable
conclusion from the evidence yester-
dav discovered.
The first thing that attracted atten-
ton. was the fact that the entire
ground floor of the place-the base
mcHt-was crossed by deep bitches.
leading from the various sides and
corners and empting into a long
trench six feet wide. On the banks OF
these bitches there appeared piles Of
rubbish, which had evidently been
taken from the trenches. Scratching
into this refuse showed a white. nealv
substance. with an occasional black
streak. suggestive of charcoal and ash
es. Following the clue and pushing
investigations, the still. with the
worm. the cap and all the working
parts were unearthed. There is hard
iy any doubt that some time or otEcr,
a real. live. full fedged bug juice fac
factory was operated on the public
square OF this city, within twenty feet
of the court house and within ten steps
of the revenue officers The still has
a capacity Of about IS gallons per day.
1t is now in amost dilapidated condi-
ton, and has two holes in it. 1t is
thought that the trenches were used to
run the refuse into the bic ditch and
there it was burned. There is fire
place in the basement, which carried
OF the smoke. Altogether it may be
said. the men who operated the plant
were good ones, but il is hard to I'M
derstand why the tracks We're not OBJ
liberated. Herald.

New YORK, Jan. 21-The first bri-
gade under command of General Louis
Fitzgerald, ordered to Brooklyn by
Governor Morton to suppress the riots
caused by the trolley car strikers. ar
rived in Brooklyn early this morning.
There are over 4, 500 men in this brl-
gade. The Ninth Regimento of zoo men
were the first troops to cross East
River to Brooklyn, leaving this city
shortly after 5 ocolck. The Twenty
second Regiment, 500 strong: followed
shortly after and by O'Clock, the
whole brigade had started for Brook
lyn. Before the. first brigade was Or
dered under arms, there were about
5000 troops in the Second Brigade on
duty in Brooklyn. These with the
soldiers of General Fitzgeralds com
mand. either in arms now, or who will
reach their regiments during the day,
will, it is estimated, form an army OF
between 1000 and 5000 men, which
ought to give the trolley railroads
ample protection for the running of
their cars

AN ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRACY
OF South Carolina in tho Interest of Peace

and Unity.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 24-The fol-
lowing address to the Democracy of
South Carolina speaks for itself:
To the Democrats of South Carolina:
As an executive committee author
lied by those who put forth the recent
address in which they urged upon
you to consider the question of secur-
ing a non-partisan convention, we
again call your attention to that sub
ject and summon you to action.
Dissention in your ranks threatens
disaster The purity of government,
the very safety of the State, depends
upon unity. To preserve these war
burial of prejudice. Those in both
factions, who would avert the catas-
trophe of an appeal to the negro for
control of the convention, must come
shoulder to shoulder at once. Let
white men, from the mountains to the
sea combine to make our convention
and new Constitution a bond and seal
of reunion between the white men of
South Carolina. This may be done
by having the convention represent
truly all elements of our Democracy,
not a faction merely. It will be a SUI
preme body limited by its own will
only and the Federal Constitution.
It's composition will be Of the highest
Importance to the welfare of the State.
Therefore, in behalf of the earnest
men who have already spoken, we
call upon any and all white Demo
Gratis in accordance with those views
to meet at their several county seats
on Saturday the second day of March
next to select three representative
men from each county who will at
tend a general conference which will
assemble in Columbia at 5 p. m. Oh
the following Wednesday. March 9th,
1895. to consult how best to afectuate
the purposes herein expressed, subject
to the regular Democratic organI.a-
ton. In order that full notice may be
given we also request citizens in each
county, who agree with us, to repeat
the call for their respective county
meeting to be held on the second of
March.
