A CHANGE Of VENUE.
The Grand Jury OF charleston County
Fails to Find True Bills in Dispen.

me Grand Jury Of Charleston County
rails to Find True Bills in Dispen-
sary Gases.
The dispensary law came up in the
Court OF Sessions for Charleston Coun,
ty on the 18th inst, and during the
morning the grand jury were given
batch of bills by the solicitor. Among
these were six against parties for the
| violation OF the dispensary law. On
these Judge Buchanan said that the
Jurors should carefully consider the
evidence against the accused aud
render presentment according to the
evidence. They should not permit
their prejudice, ii they held any
against the law, to influence their
verdict. If the law was an obnoxious
one the strict enforcement of it
would be the surest means of enlisting
public sentiment and thereby causing
Its repeal. On the contrary, If they
permitted their prejudice to influence
the presentment, it would rebound
in FAVOR OF the law. ~
ID II short while the Jurors returned
and reported that they had been un-
able to find indictments against the
following parties. against whom bills
had been given them: Fritz Mollen-
hauer, Henry Hemme, George Il.
Stenicken, Nj. l.. Clark, w. j. bowen
andBarney Lovatt. Assistant Attorney
General Townsend, who was here to
conduct the dlspensary cases, of which
several hundred are pending, said that
he was totally surprised ut the
action of the grand jury, as the-er,ssA
dence in the cases above mentioned
prcponderated against the accused,
put ne did not care to have anything
to say on this score. AS to W whatmov
he would take he could notSsay until
the next morning. He was to have a.
conference with Attorney General
Townsend Barber and would agree upon
some line Of action.
- In the Court of Sessions the next
morning, tn , Assistant ATTORNEY Cen
eral moved or II change OF venue for
the trlal OF twenty-five alleged viola
tlons OF the Dispensary law. This
actlon was brought on account Of the
failure OF the grand jury to indicL the
six parties already named against
whom the State clLlmed its strongest
cases. Counsel for the defendants op-
poseu the motion, claiming that it was
unconstitutional, unprecedented and
was an impeachmcntiof the grand jury,
ocsldes doing aSrave injustice to the
community. The affidavit of the trial
Justice who held the preliminary ex-
aminations of the cases was read, in
which he said that the State had made
out its cases and the failure of the
grand jury to indict was due to pre-
Judicc against the Dispensary law
Judge Buchanan sidet with the State
and granted chang, of venue and
transferred the cases from Charleston
to Orangcburg County. The Dspen-
saIy law was amended at the last
Legislature SO as to allow the State
the special privilege to move fok a
change Of venue. The constitutions
ality OF the amendment will be tested.

The Piedmont Headlight has inter-
SgSew Congressman Stanyarne Wilson
since his recent visit to Washington,
and on political topics he speaks as
follows
Now what about politics? Well,
| don't think | ever saw quite so much
of them and in such variety. The
most fastidious cannot complain of an
insufficient assortment. If IL man can
not now get tho kind that he wants,
he was never made to be happy The
most striking feature to me Is that the
people are on top, and everything in
dlcatcs that they are going to stay
there. There can be no better cOndi-
tion for any State than that, for the
people or the State. Judge Goif has
come and gone, but the people are still
in the middle OF the road, and are no
more affected by what he did, of at
tempted To do, than by the repr0vings
of some of the little tom-tit. inconsc-
quential, featherweight editors Of this
State, who think they are shaping
| public sentiment, but whose influence
| Is confined within their own imagina-
| tions.

they do not abandon the attempt to
secure an bipartisan convention that
they go into the primaries and agree
to abide by the result of the election,
and that the Conservative counties

ment II the Reform counties give re

For myself | do not see how those
who advocated the move of the Forty
can consistently refuse to go into the
primary, but men look at political
matters from different standpoints and
l suppose they can see the difference

My opinion is that this county will Sc

confident they can rely on represent

There is one matter of especial i'm
portance that will mention. If men
OF certain ideas get control of the
convention, they will most certainly
adopt an educational and property
qualification, either or both, in order
to disfranchise the negro and the poor
Eneducated white man. There are
men who are unfit to vote. But there

rendered too great service to the
State in her struggles OF IS6l-'65, and
in the cause of Reform since 1890, to
have the baliot-box closed against
them.
1" have been talking longer than
| intended, but will say this: My
judgment is just what it was last Feb
ruary in Columbia, and the results
haze justified what then stated. We
will have the primary, every man will
vote as he pleases Except in some
counties where compromises have
been made) and the convention will
be Ia control of the Reformcrs, by Il
good majority, and the State could
not desire anything better than that.
The Reform movement has done a
great deal for South Carolina, but it's
best and most enduring achievement
will be the constitution which it will
frame next fall.

Tn, arms were in excellent cUndi-
ton. The officer in charge had
evidently properly instructed the
cadets how to care for their arms, and
then HAD required them to do it. They
keep their arms in their rooms.
The equipments were in very good
order.
All were in uniform.
The atcadinoss and behavior OF the
cadets during the drill were excellent.
In the review and the drill which fol-
lowed, the cadets showed an excellent
knowledge Of the close order move
mcnts of the drill regulations. Each
battalion was drilled separately, and
nearly every movement in the book
was covered. The cadet officers and
guides were well up III their rcspcc-
tive duties, and the cadets in rank
were prompt and soldierly in the eX-
ccutiOn OF the various movements.
There has been no instruction in the
extended order which is unfortunate,
as the size OF the corps would enable
the instructor to go further into that
important part of the drill book than
any other school inspected. There
has been no artillery drill, no practi-
cal instruction Ia signaling or in minor
tactics. n guard is maintained at all
