MELTON'S FINAL APPEAL.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Washington, July GA final
appeal will be made to the Prcsi-
dent tomorrow in behalf of Mel
tons appointment as district at
torney. The report is current
today that he has won Hanna :
support, but DR. Webster saw him
today and gives the story an en-
phatic denial. Tolbert, Wallace
and Cunningham, leading candi-
dates, are lining up for fight
over the United States marshal
ship. State Chairman Tolbert is
here and makes the appointment
of Tolbert, Sr., a sine quo non.
Wallace, the Sumter banker and
marshal under Grant, is expected
here tomorrow. The vacancy
does not occur until next April,
and they all agree that the pres
ent incumbent, Hunter, has made
an excellent marshal. No change
IN the Office until April is contem-
plated.
Engineer George McElroy of
the United States navy, has been
detailed by the navy department

THE LAST DAY IN THE sen
ATE.
The Vote Was 40 for the Dinrlev
Bill and 30 Against 1t.

Washington, July 24.-The
tariff bill passed its last legislative
stage ut 3 p m., today, when the
Senate, by the decisive vote of 40
to 80, agreed to the conference
report on the bill. The announce
mcnt of the result WAS greeted
with enthusiastic applause by the
crowded chamber. This closed
the great labor for which the
Fifty fifth Congress assembled in
extraordinary session, and after a
stubborn resistance, which Mt times
threatened a deadlock, the Senate
cOncurred with the House in n
resolution for the final adjourn
ment of the session mt 9 o'clock
tonight. The Presidents message
for currency commission was
read, but the bill creating the COM
mission was not acted on.
Senator Tillman voted against
the tariff bill and Senator Nc
Lauren was paired against it.
The President affixed his sigma
ture to the Dingley tariff bill at
4:04 o'clock and it became the
law of the land.

THAT GASTON COFFEE.
GrcenviIlc's Grand Jury Has
Something to Say About it.

Again that coffee which cx-Li-
quor Commissioners Gaston 90,
from the contraband room ut the
State dispcn~ary about the time of
the Bcckrogc trunk scandal. hobS
up serencly. The grand jury of
GrecnviIlc county in its present
mcnt Just made to the court has
this to say about the matter:
At the last term Of the court
it appeared from the evidence adj
duccd that the constabIcs in sciz-
ing liquors from l. b Raincs, who
was afterwards tried and acquit
ted by the court, also seized and
appropriated a barrel of coffee
containing 100 pounds, belonging
to the said Raines. Without re-
gard to the innocence or guilt of
the party accused, we asked the
board of control to restore this
property to the owner. We are
surprised to learn that the State
board of control has ignored the
request of this body, which should
reasonably be presumed to be
thoroughly aware of tie facts and
merits involved in the case, and
has acquiesced in the action of one
of the employees of the dispensary
In appropriating said coffee to his
own use, allowing the State } per
cent pound for it. We can only
express our regrets that the Off
GERS of the State, in high and re-
spoAsible places, should, by this
action, consent to the seizure and
contiScation OF citizens proper
ty without, rs be believe, Il parti
Gle of law to sustain this outrage.
If it is the duty, as we believe 1t
is, of a citizen to obey the laws of
the land, still more is it incum-
bent upon those who enforce the
law to keep strictly within its
bounds and sec that no injustice
or hardship is done.

ELLERBE SPEAKS OUT
As to Mr. Mayfeld's Charge
About Doublc-Dcaling in the
metropolitan Police
Matter.
The State, oath inst.

L ne otalc, 2tln INST.
The Charleston metropolitan
police matter, which has been
resting easy for quite II while.
will doubtless be rcopcncd in the
next few days and all the facts in
connection with the failure of
Governor E!Icrbc to remove the
system thoroughly aired on the
stump.
y few days ago Mr. Mavfcld
made the statement on the stump
that Governor Ellcrbc had been
guilty of double dealing in the
matter and ii he dared to ask it
he could produce the absolute
proof of it. The governor was
asked about it the following day,
but he was disposed to ignore the
matter altogether. In the mean
time he talked the matter over
with some of his friends and YES
terday decided to give the press a
statement. This he did and the
statement reads as follows:
81 would like to have the proof
of any double dealing on my part
in reference to -the metropolitan
police; or any other public matter.
} have written no private letters
on the subject and any one having
a letter from me bearing upon it
is at liberty to publish it and is
requested to do so. | told num-
ber of people ! would not remove
the metropolitan police from Char

people inquiring if the mctropoIi-
tan police would be removed shat
l,would not remove it without n
unanimous pledge from the mayor
and council of Charleston to en-
force the law in that city and ask
ing if | had been correctly quoted.
| replied in each case that my
position had been correctly stated
and that would not remove the
metropolitan police unless the
mayor and every alderman signed
the pledge | required. After
Mayor Smyth's conference with
me in Columbia | felt certain that
the unanimous signature | requir-
ed would be given. / heard that
Comptroller General Norton,
member of the State board of po-
lice commissioners, was sick and
was going home, So, after Mayor
Smyth left, ! went 10 Mr. Norton's
and asked for authority from him
to sign his name to an order re-
moving the metropolitan police
provided the mayor and aldermen
all signed the pledge which Mayor
Smyth carried back to Charleston
with him.
81 have never had a conversa-
tion on the subject with anybody

GeenwoOd, July 23.-Yester-
day morning about o'clock
while a detached engine on the
Charleston and Western Carolina
railroad was getting water at the
tank, about two miles from the
depot, and at the foot of very
steep grade, II freight cars, to-
gether with passenger coach,
got loose in some way and started
down the track. They went down
the grade at a terrific rate of
speed. The engine, which was
within few feet of long trestIe.
was run INTO and knocked to the
other end of the trestle and had its
tender telescoped by car loaded
with sacked flour, and as result
there are II cars and a tender
totally wrecked and heavy dam
ages to engine. The loss TO the
company will be between $1,000
and so, 900.

To the Editor of The State.
There is no question of more
urgent Importance, not even the
canvass for United States senator,
than the one broached in your
editorial of the 18th inst, elm
provcmcnt of the Public HIGH
ways" Not only their improve.
mcnt hut relocation.
The early settlers usually built
their houses on the highest hill.
as near the centre of their posses
SONS as possible, and opened the
public roads for their own conven-
lcncc, so rs to pass near their hab-
nations. The result was in the
billy regions as a rule the roads
between given points run up and
down the steepest hills in utter
disregard of grades or distances
to be reached.
All this can and ought to be
changed, with very little expense.
SO that three things would be ac-
complished. First, the grades
could be greatly reduced; second,
the roads more easily constructed
and kept in repair: and third, the
time required in traversing much
diminished, even if, in some in
stances, the distance is heightened.
An experienced woodsman or
fair Judge of Typographical loca-
ton could, by going over the
ground two OF three times, with
out the use of Instruments, relo-
cate the roads in the hilly, broken
country of the State so rs to avoid
the steep, rough asccnts and de-
scents found in most of them. He
would only have to follow the ma
tural dcprcSsions-in some in
stances the water courscs-and 90
around the hills instead of over
them.
Roads located in this way could
he constructed and kept in order
for about half of what is now re
qulred. n team could haul twice
rs much and pleasure vehicles
make double the time.
1t, therefore, occurs to me the
first step to be taken is to invest
those charged with the maintain
ance of public roads, if they now
have not that power, with authori-
ty to relocate the highways wher-
ever it may be found expedient.
Two especial advantages would
accrue. The highways would be
laid out with proper regard to the
Typographical features, for the
better convenience of the general
public, and not so much for indi-
viduai preference.
In the second place the road
beds would be made on scientific
principles and, therefore, more
easily maintained.
Beginning with the middle tier
of counties-Edgefield, Lexington
upper Rlchland, Kershaw, Ches-
terfeld, up to the mountains
there are few things more dismal,
dreary and disheartening than a
ride over the hills on the average
road. In winter the mud on most
of them makes life for man and
beast a burden, impedes and in
many instances obstructs travel;
and in dry weather the stones and
gullies and washes destroy vehicles
and almost jolt the life out of their
inmates.
Much of this could be avoided
