Charleston Spite Work.

The grand jury of Charleston dis
played its prejudice to the dispensa-
ry law to such an extent that they
found mo Bill on all of the indict-
ments handed them for violation of
the dispensary law, and in some Of
the cases the testimony for the State
was positive, and they went further;
they charged and presented Trial
Justice Gaillard, who sent the cases
up, with drunkenness and recon-
mended his removal.
In this wonderful malicious pre-
sentiment they say they have been
unable to get any evidence to SUB
stantiate their charge against the
trial justice, but that they are salts
fed the charge is true. Had they
told the truth they would have sald'
the reason his removal was asked
was that Gaillard is Reformer and
sends whiskey cases to the upper
court whenever there is any evidence
to warrant his course.
Such conduct on the part OF a
grand jury surely is not to be COM
mended by the good citizens OF
Charleston, and they must know
that such folly and narrow-minded
prejudice is doing the 'City-by-the-
Sea" no good, but that it is arraying
a class Of people from whom it gets a
considerable portion of it's income,
against it.
The only class in Charleston inter
ested in keeping up the war on the
dispensary is the rip-roaring ward
politician and slum-keeper, but it
seems to US that the business men
and other good citizens could see
that the city is being damaged every
time such men succeed in thwarting
the law of the State.

TRYING TO Create Il Prejudice.

1t is simply outrageous the way
certain newspapers are endeavorlng
to create a bitter feeling against the
State constableS. Last Friday morn
ing the officers ran upon a band
of moonShiners near Spartanburg,
and, whena surrender was demanded
of them, they opened fire on the con-
stables, shooting one of them down
and wounding another. The con-
stables, although wounded, returned
the fire and killed two of the moon
sinners, while the others escaped,
leaving behind them a lot of contra
band whisky.
The newspapers against the dis
pensary law are severely critlclslng
the constables, and are actually en-
deavoring to convict them OF murder
in the ewes of the world for no other
reason than they are State officers
enforcing the dispensary law.
In their zeal to blacken these OH
GERS certain newspapers are over
reaching themselves, as they usually
do, and are making themselves ridic-
ulous. They would create the i'm
preston that the constables killed
two inoffensive citizens who were
riding on the public highway; that
these ''good citizens made nc effort
to resist the officers, and, in fact,
these 'good citizens were asleep IN
their wagons when shot, and that
the constab bles wounded one another.
These papers agree that Constable
Pettigrew was shot down before any
other gun was fired, and that the
constables were armed with double
barreled shotguns. W lille their
wounds were inflicted with rifle balls;
yet, after so stating the facts, they
purposely twist the affair so as to
make political capital.
These 'good citizens" who were
so inhumanely butchered by the con-
stables according to certain news
papers, are men with noble records.
One, whose name is Fisher, has
killed eight men, has had three
brothers killed in the moonshine
whisky wars. Durham. the other,
has similar bloody record, and in
the face OF all this, together with the
fact that the constables had been
shot down before any of their own
guns were fred, the opposition news
papers would stir up feeling against
the constables for the sake of po-
litical prejudice.

THE SAN FRANCISCO FIRE.
Million and HALF Dollars Lost-FntslL
ties and Incidents.

Million and q Uals Dollars Lost-FntalL
ties and Incidents
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-The fire
last night destroyed four blocks in the
heart of the manufacturing district of
the city, Involving loss of 81, 500, 900
in property and sacrificing one life. 1t
ragged unchecked for over four hours,
feeding on succession of wooden
buildings and might have been beyond
control for many hours longer but for
lucky change in the wind.
The burned areas bounded by Towns
end, Bryant, Third and Fifth streets.
The flames made occasional invasions
outside these limits but only to the ex-
tent of few houses.
A Miss Gilroy was burned to death.
This was the only fatality reported.
She was attempting to save some Of her
belongings and was covered with burn
ing oil. During the progress of the
fire a steam boiler exploded in
French laundry. The force of the ex-
plosion sent about half ton of boiler
flying through the building. A piece
lodged in Shirley's hotel. So great
was the shock that all the windows not
destroyed by the heat were blown into
the streets. There was 4 thrilling scene
while the convent and parochical
school attached to St. Roses church
were in flames A few moments before
the roof fell in boy was seen at one
of the upper windows. A cry of hor-
ror went up from the crowd and the
fremen yelled to the boy to jump. A
blanket was held out, but just then the
flames and smoke enye!oped the build
ing and the next moment the roof fell
in with crash. Everybody thought
the boy was lost, but he jumped into
the blanket held by the fremen and
escaped uninjured.

4 Grand Showing.

The official report of the State
dispensary for the quarter ending
April 80, 1895, is now out and shows
that the institution has done an I'M
mense amount of business.
The report shows from whom the
stock was bought, the number OF
gallons and the price paid. 1t also
shows clearly the receipts and dis
bursements, and to cent how this
immense business stood at the end OF
that quarter.
The assets of the concern is shown
to be S254, ,321.42, and out Of the
$4,000 appropriated by the Legis,
lature about $4,000 remains yet to
be paid back, but, while such is the
case, the dispensary has to its credit
in the State treasury and in bank
S75, ,523.75, showing fine, healthy
business condition. The legislative
committee that investigated this in
stitution, in speaking of the many
improvements put in operation by
Colonel F. NJ. Mixson, the State Com
missioner, also compliments him and
his chief clerk, Mr.. Seth w. Scruggs,
who devised the system, for the per-
feet and excellent manner of book
keeping, and they conclude their
elaborate report with the following
statement Under the present
management the affairs Of the dis
pensary appear to be managed upon
most intelligent business principles.
The financial showing is satisfactory
and reflects credit upon the Commis-
sioner and his corps of assistants"

Tickling the Republicans.

The Charleston News and Courier
and the Columbia State are very
severe on the people of Edgefeld for
refusing to allow Col. J.J Dargan
to speak in their town last week.
Their denunciation of those people
is only buncombe and only intended
TO tickle the ear of a few people in
the North, who still believe the negro
vote will again be of use.
If the people of Edgefeld did not
want Dargan to preach his offensive
doctrines in their midst they had a
right to inform him of that fact, and
when he undertook to defy those
people and go there anyway, 1t is no
wonder they became incenseo and
showed determination not to allow
him to scatter his poisonous heresles
among them.
We think the people of Edgefeld
only played into bargains hand ;
they gave him just what he wanted,
and he Will now fill his Boston ad-
mirers with his tale of woe, and they
in return will send him evidences of
their appreciation for his heroic ef-
forts in behalf of their black pets.
The best way to treat Col. Dargan
is to quietly let him alone. If he
goes to u town and the citizens do
not care to hear him, let them stay
away and let him talk to the winds.
If they adopt such course Colonel
Dargan will soon tire Of playing to
the Boston abolition galleries, as his
audience will first tire of him and
put a brake on sending him live
years subscription in advance Tor
the Freeman. He will peter out as
a liberty manufacturer, and the
chances are he will return to his first
love-viz., chasing ''niggers' over
the country and pulling their leaders
from the platforms to prevent them
from speaking, congregating and to
hold political meetings, a right
which Colonel Dargan did not think
they should exercise as long as the
white people had little Office in
sight for him.
