An Effort to Push the Dispcnsary

UnitCl StntCs.

An Effort to Push the Dispcnsary
Cases in the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
The Columbia Register has obtained
the following copy Of circular To
the mayors Of the various towns and
cities Of South Carolina:
AIKEN. 5. c., Jan. Is, 1895.
Dear Sir | have just had II confer
cnce with Mayor Dargan OF Darlington
in regard to the Dispensary case which
I started here, and which has been
passed on by the Supreme Court of
this State after it had been packed to
sustain the dispcnsary law.
Mr.. Dargan agrees with me that the
case should be carried to the Supreme
Court Of the United States. where it is
confidently believed that the infamous
institution will be destroyed.
In this case every point which has
ever been raised under this law was
pressed before the Courts, and cspe-
cial the Federal questions, so that the
case could be taken to the United
States Supreme Court If adversely de-
cded by our State Court. The city Of
Aiken is unable to bear all the expense
of the case on the appeal to the United
States Supreme Court and, at the con-
ference above mentioned it was sug-
gcsted that | write a circular letter
to the various towns in the State APP
peaing for aid in the matter. from such
places as are willing to contribute. In
my judgment the destruction Of the
dispensary law will forever free us
from the bugbear of metropolitan po-
lice force, which like sword OF Dam
ocles is suspended over our heads
Will you not therefore endeavor to
have your council appropriate such
sum, not exceeding one hundred dol
lars, as they may see fit, and forward
the same to me as soon as possible.
am very anxious to have the case
heard at the earliest possible date and
our counsel, Col. G.. w. Croft, will las

tain the writ of error.
If your council will not appropriate
any sum will you be kind enough tC
turn this, letter over to some citizen
who will Interest himself and let him
forward as soon as possible what funds
he can collect?
Hoping to hear from you at an early
date, | am very respectfully yours,

matter, wrote to eX-Governo" Tillman,
whom he refers to as the " Cromwell
of the South" and asked the new
United States Senator for a letter.
This letter was written on the Sth III
timo, and Byron considers the letter
"a powerful one"
The following is copy of the let.
ter as sent on by the Ex-Governor
TRENTON. S. c., Jan. 3, 1S95.
Thos. +. Byron, Esq:
DEARSIR :-Your,valued favor of the
3dwith marked copy of yourpaper, have
Deen received ana read With interest
Thanks for your kind words about my.
self. | am called "Populist" by the
Republican papers and by the Clcvc-
land Democrats-God save the mark
Both OF these names arc beginning
to stink in the nostrils of good men
Beginning? Alas, thoy are byword
a1d a Kissing to the Democrats who
believe with Jefferson and Jackson
and the Republicans who followed Lin
coin. | see no hope of relief or of sav.
ing our institutions, unless the far
mers OF the South quit voting the
Democratic ticket AM the farmers oi
the West quit voting the Republican
ticket.
We must get together, and names
should not divide us. But the Popu
lists have too many cranks among
them and want to do too much. We
cannot enlist the conservative masses
unless we appeal to reason and com
mon sense: and the more reforms We
demand the fewer we will obtain
Plutocracy is drunk with power and
the success it has had in anal lgamat
ing Republicans and so-called Demo
Gratis under the lead of Sherman anC
Cleveland. The tops will be screwed
down tighter and after awhile some
| thing will explode. South Carolina il
