Clarendon and part of Williamsburg
has given US a Democratic represen'
tatives for years and as it stands we
believe we have safe white majority,
notwithstanding the few white rene
eades which bobbed up in Darling
ton at the last election. Then why
chop Clarendon off from safe white
district and add her to a district
which is very questionably close, with
number of white Republicans to
lead their forces? We do not want
to go, and we urge our representa-
tives to fight the Patton bill with all
of their energy. The proposed plar
is as follows:
l. Pee Dee District -Chesterild, Marl
boro, Darlington, Florence, Marion, Hor
2. Santee District ct-Georgetown, Will
liamsbnrg, Charleston, Berkeley and Dor
chester. :,
Edsto District-O Orangeburg, Barnwell
Colleton, Hampton and Beaufort.
Wateree District-Fairfeld, hershaw
Richland, Sumter and Clarendon.
5. Saluda District-Laurens, Greenwood

morning on learning of the death of
Mrs. Maria J. Bradham, the beloved
wife OF Mr.. E. Manly Bradham. She
was taken sick on Sunday night the

oped into pneumonia. She was a
patient sufferer until Thursday morn
ing when she passed peacefully over
the river, at o'clock to brighter
and happier home. She was con-
sistent member of the Baptist church
at this place and was a faithful work
Ell in the cause of Christ. She was
a teacher iu the Sunday school and
had the love and confidence of her
entire class; she set a beautiful ex-
ample for US by her pio1s and Cody
life and we do earnestly hope that
her life Of noble deeds anl sacrifices
for the cause of her Master in our
midst may be an inspiration to US all
to deeds Of nobleness and labors of
love for others sake. We deeply
sympathize with the bereaved hus-
band and family in this their ir-
reparable loss. The funeral services
we're held in the Baptist church this
morning at II o'clock. Rev. G, NJ.

The recent dispensary decision
affecting the importation of liquor
into the State has brought forth Sen
ator Tillman with the introduction of
bill in the United States Senate,
which if it is passes will reverse the
decision recently made, and will
knock the personal use" obstacle IN
to smithereens. The only way any
State can get prohibition is through
Congress-, and the bill proposed by
our Senior senator is the iniative step
Should his measure become a law
and we do not see why it should not
because, in republican form Of gov
ernment like ours, every State ought
to have an exclusive right to man
age it's own affairs, then, with the out
side obstacles removed prohibitory
law can be enforced. The dispensary
law will be restricted more and more
until the people are educated up to,
and are ready to have prohibition
Senator Tillmans bill provides:
THAT all fermented. distilled Or other in:
toxicating liquors or liquids transported
into any State or Territory, or remaining
therein for use, consumption, sale or stor
age therein shall upon arrival within the
limits OF said State or Territory be subject
to the operation and effect Of the laws OF
such State or Territory enacted for the con-
troll and policing of the liquor traffic. ab'

BLOCKADE CHARLESTON.

The secretary of the navy has Or
dered part of the naval fleet tc
Charleston for the purpose of instruc-
ton. They propose about the early
part of next month to blockade Char.
lesion and go through the practice o:
blockade warfare. It will be an in.
teresting sight and we hope the raj
roads will catch the spirit of the oc
cassion BY. giving cheap excursion
rates to draw large crowds to see s
sight that perhaps they will never
have an opportunity of seeing again
The Young Mems Business League
should take this matter in hand anc
see to it that every facility and in,
ducemeDt is offered to draw the
crowds and for their entertainment
In our opinion, the blockading Of the
city will draw fully as well as gala
week if inducing rail road rates can
be procured.

The communica, N of Mr.. A.
Plumer Burgess, in another column
is defense of Col. H. R. Thomas po-
sition, in the matter of fertilizer rates
and it takes issue with our editorial
of last week. It was not our purpose
to array the people against Mr.. Thom,
as as our correspondent seems to
think; we regard Ny Thom.s. om.:s-.sery : ssery
competanL J&claf: However we
think be has made great mistake in
running to the news papers with
charges of improper motives against
his colleagues because theyg saw fit to
vote for reduction of the fertilizer
rates. Had Mr.. Thomas voted against
the reduction and thus placed himself
on record, the people would have
given him credit for sincerity, but
when he undertook to condemn his
colleagues in the newspapers we be-
lieve it fell upon unsympathizlng
ears. The people do not want the
railroads to be unjustly treated, at
the same time they fell, that as all az
ric;lltural products have fallen IN
valae the freight rates should be
lowered accordingly, and when Mr..
Thomas undertakes to prevent the
people from getting this benefit he
will be looked upon as creature OF
the railroads instead of the people
who placed him in his present posi-
! tion.
Mr.. Thomas may be right in oppos-
| ing the freight reduction but the
majority OF the commission have the
same facilities for gathering informa-
ton that he has, and they are sup
posed to be fully as competant to
Judge; they claim the reduced rate Is
rot unjust and they cite the rates OF
North Carolina and Georgia to sus-
tain their action. We would like to
answer Mr.. Burgess fully and devote
more space to his article as there
are several thing tnat deserves COM
ment from US but on account OF sick
ness on our force we can not do so.

The General Assembly in re-elect-
ing Col. W. A. Neal superintendent
OF the State penitentiary without op-
position, not only showed their ap-
probation Of his efficiency as a pub
lie servant, but they added strong
testimony to his character as man.
They also by their unanimous vote
approved the finding of the commit
tee who were called upon to investi-
gate the management of the peniten-
tiary, and doubly exonerated him
from the malignant charges made
against lin. Col. Neal has made a
good officer and we hope that his
coming term will be still greater
success than was his past.

THE DISPENSARY.

The general opinion is, that the
dispensary law will not be handled
much at the present session;a large
number of the representatives are
disposed to let the question Alone as
under it's present management the
law is working satisfactorily. A few
amendments may be made, and the
recommendation of the State board
TO abolish what is known as "Hotel
privileges" will no doubt receive
serious attention, but the main feat
nres will remain as they are. The
recenhdecision OF the United States
Supreme. court has given the opposl-
ton to the law, but small morsei OF
consolation, although when the
announcement was first made, they
appeared much gratifed. The Co
lnmbia State realized at once the
effects of decision and Immediately
advised its readers to give the dis
pensary tie sboycott" and thereby
starve it out. The opponents OF the
dispensary law seem to think they
are the people who make or unmake
the affairs of this State and with all
of the experience of the past they
still think so. The class who Will be
advised by the State, are the ones
who made it necessary for the en-
ployment of State constables. They
either run blind tigers, or patronize
them; they are class that never did
patronize the dispensary and the
liquor they bought was smuggleo
from abroad. Now that they can
have 1t brought in for personal use'
the constables will have to keep their
weather eyes open to ascertain what
is meant by personal use" If it is
supposed that the United States
courts will protect man who gets
liquor from abroad to violate the laws
OF this State, it is mistake, because
ia the decision of Judge Simonton 1t
is clearly intimated that liquor
shipped in must be for personal use
ana not for sale; that when 1t Is
shown to be other than for personal
use, it is violation OF the State law
and an offender will be punished ac-
cordingly.

it would be to Watson's interest to
have Pritchard elected.
Another circumstance bearing out
the idea of collision between Popu-
lists and Republicans as asserted con-
corning the Watson case, is a confer
ence which Colonel Bill Glenn had
to-day with Dudley.
Dudley and Glenn are associated
in the Watson case. They met to-
day in the Senate restaurant. Dud-
lev told Glern of the Pritchard vic
tory, adding:
s:That fixes our man all right"
Afterwards Glenn had a conference
with Dudley and while the Atlanta
man would not tell what passed, it
was very plain that he was much
elated. He, too, made the declara-
ton
THAT will, believe, fix Watson all
right
SO it looks as if the cards might
be coming Toms way, so far as the
elections committee is concerned.
Should the report be favorable tc
him it will precipitate one of the
prettiest fights of the session. Wat
sons case is very weak one and it Is
difficult to believe that honest Re
publicans will vote to unseat fellow
member on such testimony.

Pitchard's victory in North Caro-
lima, says the Washington correspon.
dent of the Atlanta Constitution, may
bring sensational developments in
Tom Watson's case. There is strong
evidence to indicate that Watson is
to benefit by the Republican victory
and if the plans Of the Republican
leaders can be put through, Major
Black will be unseated.

General Dudley is the most prom.

in these contest cases before Con
gress, and is one of Watson's counsel

ton
"That will fix our man Watson al
right"
Dudley usually knows what he i:
talking about. He is in reality an at

It has been charged that he was tax
ing an active interest in Pritchard's

paTToN,s PLAN REVEALED.

PATTON'S PLAN REVEALED.
When the motion was made in the
legislature last week to appoint a
committee to draught bill for the
re- districtiag the State in accordance
with Mr.. Patton's idea, and the same
received such cold reception, we
had hope the thing was dead beyond
resurrection, but We find ourselves
mistaken. The author of the bill IS
welded to his idea and with all the
persistence of his nature he will push
the measure to finish. When We
opposed the plan of re-districting, IN
our last issue we did not know what
Mr.. Patton's scheme was, but on
general principles we opposed the
tinkerins with the Congressional dis
triets until the United States Su-
preme court settles for all time the
validity OF our registration and cleo
tion laws; we cannot understand the
reason for change of congressional
lines at time when nearly every
Congressman from this State has a
contest on his hands for an over
whelming Republican majority to de-
eide. Mr.. Patton has at last pre-
sented his pet measure, and now that
we know his scheme, we are farther
from favoring it than we were before
the plan was revealed.

THE STATE KICKS.

Just think of it, the representatives
of Richland county have recommend
ed to Governor Ellerbe certain names
for appointment to the Office OF mag
istrate for Columbia, and their recon-
mendation is meeting with the dis
approval, and censure of the Colum-
bia State. Now, these gentlemen
were only elected by the people of
Richland, and why they should take
the bits in their mouths and recon-
mend magistrates without consulting
the distinguished editor of the State,
we cannot understand. He is per-
fectly right in giving the delegation
a piece of his mind and hehas not hes
itated to do so. OF course, the dele
CATION imagine they have the right
to use their best judgement for Co.
lumbia's interests, but when the State
has finished with them, Sloan, Patton,
Reynolds and others will have to
sneak out of the city when the cleo
trio lights are out of fix, and dark
ness has taken possession of the
sshead centre of devilment." The
State has also put its foot down on a
repetition of such conduct and has
given notice to take away from the
delegation the privilege of making
recommendations by putting the mat
ter in a primary. If the primary
elects men to the liking of the State,
the thing must stand, because the
participants viii be bound in honor;
but should the nominees be unfortu-
nate enough to have the dislike of
the State, then what?
