PrOhibitiOnists at Work.

COLUMBIA, January 29.-The temper
ance folk wish to eliminate the profit and
beverage features from the di%spensary
law. Senator Archer has taken hold OF
the matter for the Gospel TEN perance
Union, that has been organized in connec-
ton with the Methodist Church. To-
morrow the temperance edition of the
present law will be introduced in the
House OF Representatives by Mr.. Whit
mire, and both Houses will be given an
other opportunity of showing whether
they want prohibition In fact. The pur-
pose Is to so amend the present dispensary
law as to limit the sale of liquor tn sales
for medicinal, mechanical, scientific and
sacramental purposes only. The entire
machinery and outline of the present law
Is used, and bYa very few changes the
entire scope of the purposes of the sale
are set forth, combining the sale to she
purposes named. The purposes for
which the purchases are m ade Enust be
written in the application form now in
use. The proviso as to hotel d%igpensa-
ries Is eliminated by striking ort four
clauses and inserting a few verbal chan.
ges. All the machinery Is converted into
q non-proit earning system for the sale
of liquor for medicinal, sacramental and
mechanical purposes. The present PEN
alties are all acknowledgement to Ne1Oa
and Courier.

The necessary majority Of the stock
holders Of the Anderson Cotton Mills
have signifed their approval of the pro-
posed increase Of the capital stock of the
company from $751; 900 to 100000, for the
purpose of charging the capacity of the
mill, and it is proposed to hold q meeting
sometime next month to put the matter
Salto definite shape. There are only a
few osthe shareholders who object TO the
proposed enlargement, butit is hoped that
they will acguiesce in whatever the ma
jority sgrss upon. The officers Of the
company desire that dll OF the additional
stock be subscribed by the present stock
holders, but should they not do 80 it will
be very easy to place the new stock in
other hands. It is proposed to collect the
subscriptions in installments, 20 per
csnt. payable in the spring and the re-
mainder next fall as is well known the
Anderson Cotton Mill has been a success
from the first day it began to
work, and it is difficult to keep
MP with the orders for its goods,
which are Of q very superior quality.
The stock has always sold above par, and
the money invested in the new stock will
be q good Investment. Nearly all Of the
successful mills throughout the country
are enlarging their plants, and Anderson
must keep In the line of progress. A
larger mill means more money attracted
TO Anderson. All of our people can now
feel the benefits derived from our present
mill II has made our growing city a
better cotton market, and, as q conse-
dhence, it brings farmers from all the adj
Joining Counties here to sell their cotton
and buy their goods. We would like to
Sea q dozen big cotton mile in Anderson,
but that's impossible. We can double
the capscity Of u present mill, and 1t
must be done.

Freight Trains Collide.

ABBEvILLE, Jan. GA pretty had
wreck occurred this morning between
the hours of 2 and 5 o'clock on the Sea-
board Air Line, just this side Of Watts, a
small station five miles from here, caused
by q head-on collision between two freight
trains. The particulars, as far as could
be learned are these; Train No. q, engine
SIP, was q through freight, bound North,
with Engineer G. II. PinkBtone at the
throttle and Conductor T. T. Capehart ! n
charge Of the train. They passed Elber-
ton, Ga, where the operator had orders
for them, but the operator had gone to
sleep at his post. The other train, having
no previous orders, passed Oh. The ope-
rator was to flag this train and give them
their orders. The orders we're for % and
IL to meet at Watts, s. c and train No.
IL, engine 1O9, Engineer Jake Ellet and
Conductor Dick Lawton, had their orders
to meet % at this point.
The two trains were running Is miles
an hour when they collidedp Both fire.
men and Engineer Pinkstone jumped,
but Jake Ellet stuck to his engine, and IL
consequence was terribly scalded, but not
necessarily seriously, while all the rest OF
both crews escaped with good shake-up.
The engines and entire trains are torn all
TO pieces.
It will be all day before the wreck is
cleared. No northbound train has come
in and all southbound trains are stopped
at Jones' branch, two and half miles
from here.
The entire blame is on the operator.
By his neglect the company has lost
thousands Of dollars. Fortunately, no
lives were lost. How they escaped is a
wonder.
The engineer has since died.-Special

was intimatedl last week Gov. Evans
has placed the city of Charleston under
the Metropolitan Police Law, and the
citizens of that city will be governed by
officers appointed by GOV. Evans instead
of her own people. The excuse Ia that
Charleston will not enforce the Dispen-
sary law. It has besn demonstrated in
Prohibition States, Maine and Kansas,
for instance, that it is almost impossible
to enforce sumptuary laws in large cities,
and it is unreasonable to expect Charles
ton TO accomplish that which has slgnally
failed elsewhere. We venture to say
there is nota large city in tho United
States where the Dlspenssryl law could be
enforced satisfactorily to its trainers, but
at the same time, as long IA it remains q
law OF the State, we believe it to be the
duty OF all good citizens to see that it is
enforced as far ais il can be. The action
of Gov. Evans is q blow at local self
government, and, as far as we Can see,
there is nothing LETT for Charleston ,but to
exercisethe patiGInce that has character

IEis suspicioneGE by many that politics
lad about as much to do with the placing
ofthe law over Charleston as the enforce.

:be attorneva for L,aurens County, Messre,

the attorneys for Laurens County, Messre.
Dial and Featherstone, resisted the con-
frmation of the sale on tho ground that
the Southern nor any person interested
in that system could purchase under the
laws of South Carolina as embodied in
the Act of 1894 and the Constitution
Of the State.
TIE Court ordered testimony taken
upon that point. Messrs. Thomas and
Ryan were brought here from New York
and examined in the most rigid manner.
Both of them swore positively that the
Southern had nothing to do, directly or
Indirectly, with the purchase, that they
bought on their own hook and intended
to operate the road as an independent
line. They admitted, however, that they
were stockholders and directors for the
Southern.
At the hearing yesterday there were
present: Henry Crawford, Of Chicago,
Lawton & Cunningham, of Savannah,
and Mitchell &Smith, Of Charleston, rep
resenting the purchasers, Dial & Feather
stone, of Laursns, representing tie parties
Directing to the confirmation of the sale !;

Phinizy, Of Augusta, representing the
Augusta and Knoxville bondholders 8.
j. Simpson, ofSpartanburg, representing
Receiver Cleveland, and Judge ompkins
of Atlanta, representing the Central Trust
Company, Of New York.
The purchasers announced that they
wound tender their resignation as direct
ors of the Southern and sell out their
stock In the same, in order that they
might have the sale confirmed and operate
and control the Port Royal and Western
Carolina.
The road will be operated probably by
John B. Cleveland, the old receiver Of the
road, who has shown himself to 5e a
magnificent railroad man and has oper-
ated it in such a way as to please every
body. If not operated by him 1t will GER
tainly be operated as an independe nt line.
This Is all that the counties demand aud
all they have been fighting for.
The attorneys representing the coun-
ties have been vigilant and jealous and
the result brought about Is largely due to
them. They should receive the thanks
of the counties for the abls name in
which they have conducted the Litigation
and for the result accomplished. Compe-
tition they have fought fo- and ,ompeti.
ton they have secured.
The sale will be confirmed by Judge
Simonton 30 soon as Thomas Il Ryan
sever their connection with the Southern
and they will begin to operate the same.

A Change in the Prices.

Beginning yesterday there was q change
of prices made in the State Dispe1ssry
stock and all the sub-dispensaries. Some
time ago there was q small reduction, for
instance, whiskey that vas sold Tor 10
cents was reduced to 10 cents for q half
pint, and a corresponding reduction made
in the other grades.
The new price current, however, went
into effect yesterday which was made to
do away with the odd number OF cents.
This had caused much trouble to the Dis
pensers who were frequently unable to
make the correct change.
The following isa list of SONS of the
changes made to consumers:
The 80 per cent. rye and Bourbon, Is
cents for q half pint instead Of - cents.
One K corr from 10 to Is cents; n X
corn from Is to 20 cents; Xxx rye from 20
to Is cents per half pint xxx rye from
25 to 80 cents xxx rye reduced from
IS cents TO IS cents per half pint; Thomp-
sons old rye reduced from As to IS cents /;
Mt. Vernon rye from IS cents to IS cents.
There is no change in the price of beer.
There are several changes in the price
of the foreign and domestic wines. The
price OF blackberry wine Is raised from
Is cents per pint to IS cents. Scupper-
nong wins is now 35 cents per pint instead
Of Is cents. There is no change in the
price Of alcohol.
During the month ending January 3lst,
1896, the State Dispensary shipped 1905
boxes Of whiskey, each box containing
about four gallons. In addition to this
1S2 barrels Of beer were shipped. During
the month of December the shipments
were much larger, a%ggregaGing 1929
cases.
From the Attorney Generals report the
following facts are obtained relative to
the trial and convictions of violstors OF
the dispensary law, for the year 1895:
Of the fifty cases presented for trial only
eleven convictions were had. In Char
lesion where the law was openly and flag
rantly violated there was nota conviction
in twenty cases. Indeed, the juries In
that city failed to find true bills against
the accused: In Columbia there were six
convictions out of twelve cases and in
Darlington, two convictions out of three
cases.-Columbia Register, Feb.2

: s,avs the PHILADELPHIA .Recor,

Says the Philadelphia Record of
Thursday: "Eight hundred tons of old
cannon and 500 tons of shot and shell,
which the Confederates produced in the
ZOOS Tor their defense of Southern ports
from the attacks of the Union navy, ar
rived at this port last nighton the schooner
James w. Fitch, from Pensacola. This
entire consignment will be broken up for
old iron. These cannons and ammuni-
ton were, in their time, up to date in the
requirements of the government, but now
the changes are such that it is entirely
valueless except as old metal. Some of
the cannon weigh a ton or more each and
because of their antique type are curiosi-
ties. They had lain SO long abandoned,
however, that the government ordered
the entire lot to be condemned and sold.
The Confederate government spent thou
sands of dollars for these munitions of
war;"

than those to whom it wa directed, and
has given the whole country an oppor-
