A Oisgraceful Affair.
communicated

A most QepiOraUe atiu uuioi'u-
nate clash occurred last Friday
afternoon on the grounds of the
South Carolina College between
the students or that institution on
the one side, and two or three po-
licemen and the Columbia militia
under command of adjutant gen
eral Watts on the other. 1t seems
that these grounds, consisting Of
about nine acres have been re-
served by the State for college
purposes and no outsiders have
authority to use them except by
permission from the College
President. Gen. Watts obtained
permission from Pres. Woodrow to
review and inspect the Richland
Volunteers and Governors Guards
on Wednesday afternoon the 26th
but the inspection failing to come
off at that time, the Gen. and his
troupes appeared on The grounds
Friday afternoon when they found
the college base ball team play
ing a match game with one Of the
city clubs. The premises being
large enough for both the inspec-
ton and the game, acting Pres.
Sloan requested Gen. Watts to
conduct his review in the east
end of the grounds where the
game of the students would not
be interf.red with. This the Gen.
consented to do, but in executing
a field movement he commanded
the troups to march across the
grounds previously occupied
by permission OF the college au-
thorities, by the baseball players.
The horse of one of Gen. Watts
staff was struck by foul ball
and Gen. Watts declared he would
have the grounds cleared and gave
the order to Col. Jones to march
his battalion forward. This caused
general conflict in which clubs,
base ball bats ETC., were freely
used and resulted in considerable
blood shed by students, policemen
and Prof. Davis who, in the office
of peacemaker, received severe
blow in the face from a policemans
club. Student D. D. Mccall, of
Bennettsville, received the sew
crest injuries, having his skull
fractured from the effects of
which he may die. These are the
facts briefly stated and from
which it seems that adjutant Gen.
Watts is largely responsible for
the unfortunate affair. He as
sumed authority to break up a
game of base ball by college
students and ordered policemen
to clear the way for him where
he himself had no night, and
which precipitated most deplor-
able conflict. However, he is
holding himself in reserve and
has not yet made statement.
Unless he can change public sen
timent, he will receive the de-
served censure of the whole State
and his Office should be demanded
of him.

GARDENERS KICK
Producers Will Refuse to Pay Ped
dlers' License

There is prospect Of a contest in the
courts between the city on ore side and
the gardeners who haul their produce
into the city and dispose of 1t here, over
the matter Of compelling some of them
to pay pedd,ers' licenses. Many of these
gardeners hawk their vegetables and
fruit from house to house and are COM
PEELED to pay license for so doing.
There is another class, however, who
have regular customers among the
grocers ard dealers, who do no peddling,
but who have had to pay the same IL
cense as the others. 1t Is from these
that the objection to this license tax
comes, and several of them threaten to
take the matter to the courts. J. r.
Clark, who owns an extensive garden
east Of the city, called at the office of
the city clerk yesterday ard inquired If
the ordinances Of the city made no dis
tinc,ion between the two classes. ard
when informed that in the opinion Of
the clerk no such distinction was made,
remarked: well, do not in ntsrSd to pay
the license any more and will take the
matter to the courts If pacessary.''
Mr.. Clark was asked afterward just
what he intended to do and said: Il
have been compelled to pay license
which entities me to peddle what 1
raise from house to house if I so desire
1 dro not do that kind of business. All
that I raise is sold to one or two firms,
and by them it Is disposed of to the
consumer. 1 sell only in, large lots and
all that / sell raise myself. was for
merly engaged in the same business at
San Francisco and upon my refusal to
pay the license exacted by the city I
was arrested. I made a test case of the
matter and carried it to the superior
court. There I won the case, the court
holding in effect that had right to
dispose Of what 1 raise myself without
having to pay the license. That de-
cision is ON record there, but it was not
taken to the supreme court. shall take
the same course here and if 1 am arrest

There are number Of others who carry
on the same kind of business and we have

Before the meeting adjourned the fol-

ed by the meeting:
Whereas, under the guise Of law and
order bloody tragedy was enacted at
Hazleton, Pa, September 10th, wherein
peaceable and unarmed miners, who were
on strike and in a starving condition, were
fired upon, on the public highway. by
bloodthirsty gang of ruff1ans, so-called
deputy sheriffs, in which twenty-three of
their number were killed outright and
over fifty seriously wounded; therefore
be it
Resolved That we, as wageworkers of
the city of Los Angeles, in mass meeting
assembled, do protest against and de-
|nounce as an outrage and an act OF high
handed tyranny, and a menace to all lib
erty-loving people. and disgrace to
civilized community the killing of twenty
three and wounding of fifty peaceably in
clined men by the sheriff and his deputies.
while on the public highway from Halle
ton. Pa, to Latimer, Pa, mines to induce
their felow-workmen to join them in their
struggle to maintain living wage; there
fore be it further
Resolved, That we recognize the fact that
the strike alone as weapon to better our
condition is inadequate, and it is neces-
sary that we take advantage of the power
of the ballot box to right our wrongs. The
sheriff was. as are all the other officers
elected for the sole purpose of upholding
the present capitalist system, and not for
the betterment of the wage-worker; con-
sequently 1t is the duty of the wage-work-
er to join a class-conscious party, which
has for its object the abolishing of the
present capitalist competitive system and
substituting therefor the socialist COOP
/ erative commonwealth. By casting your
vote for the Socialist Labor party you the
sooner usher in the cooperative common
wealth.

SET FOR HEARING
Supreme Court to Consider the Head

Mayor Snyder received information
last night that the state supreme cour
had set the case involving the water
works headworks site for hearing be-
fore it on the last day of the October
term of the court The case is known as
the Pomeroy and Hooker case and there
was some doubt as to the ability of the
city to have it placed upon the calender
for the October term. The failure to
do so would have meant that no de
cision would have been rendered for
nearly or quite year, and this would
have delayed the efforts Of the city tc
secure the ownership of its waterworks
Just that length of time. The city coun-
Gil recently passed resolution asking
that the case be advanced upon the dock

SILVER REPUBLICANS
CELEBRATE THE ACCESSION OF
A CLUB HOUSE
With $500 and 256 Paid Members.
Calumnies Concerning Bryan
Demolished

Fully six hundred friends Of the Sill
yer Republican club attended the inform
al opening Of the new club house on Main
street, near Sixth, last night. The clubs
quarters had previously been dedicated
but last night for the fret time they
were thrown open to all friends of the
club, including the fair sex, which al
most balanced in numbers the polite
ians. The affair was of an informal ma
.ture, and the visitors were made to feel
as If the house was their own.
Early in the evening a meeting OF the
members was held in the basement for
the purpose of informing them as to the
financial condition of the organization.
The reports of the various officers were
read and approved 1t was stated that
the present available assets Of the club
exceed $3500, and as the rental for the
club house has been paid for year, the
clubs prospects for at least that time
are considered very bright, indeed. The
total paid-up membership at the pres
ent time Is 1856.
In reference to the charge that the
recent visit of Mr.. Bryan to this city
was for the purpose of making money,
it was authoritatively stated that lgr.
Bryan positively refused any pay for his
services, saying that when he visited
place he would never accept money un-
less it was needed for his expenses. In
this instance he would not even permit
the committee to pay his expenses.
After the meeting the members devoted
the evening to the entertainmnt of their
| guests. There was music in the parlor
and recitations in some of the other
rooms. There was no set program, the
entertainment being of a spontaneous
nature. Among those who took part
were: Mrs c. H. O'Neal, Mrs. NJ. L.
