people Of South Carolina in Conven-
ID assembled in Article VIII. Section II.
say:
1.-THE General Assembly may license persons
or corporations 10 manufacture and sell and
retail alcoholic liquors or beverages within
the State under such rules and restrictions as
IT deems proper; or the General Assembly
may prohibit the manufacture and. sale and re-
tall OF alcoholic liquors and beverages within
the State, and may authorize and empower
state. County and municipal officers, all or
either, under the authority and in the name
of the State, to buy in any market and retail
within the State liquors and beverages In
rules and regulations, as it deems expedient:
Provided, That no license shall be granted TO
sell alcoholic beverages In less quantities
shutdown and sunrise, or to sell them to be
drunk on the premises: And provided,
further, That the General Assembly shall not
delegate to any municipal corporation the
power to issue licenses to sell the same"
From this it may be seen that the city coun-
Gil could not license an open bar, and that
under no conditions can liquor be sold be-
tween shutdown and SUNRISE"
The Constitution, 1t seems has completely
wiped out the bar-business, and public senti.
ment will likely forever sustain the Gripping
OF the whiskey traffic.
Great effort seems to have been made to
olsg9st The temperance people with the
blind tiger"inths hope ofhaving our peo-
pie return to the open bars. The dog returns
to his vomit, but we doubt II South Carolina
ever returns to her bars.
Even admitting that there are "blind
tigers" a dozen of them would hardly work
the generalization and drunkenness that
might result from one open licensed bar.
The General Assembly may license the
municipal officers to buy or sell liquor, but no
town council can grant license to anybody.
Even If Judge Simonton should choose to
annul all Of our liquor laws, 1t is quite like
ly hat the temperance people OF this State
will remain true and steadfast to their prin.
ciples, not yielding aquestion where there
Is moral principle involved.
Senator Tillman is making effort to have a
law passed by Congress which will rectlry
matters.

NOT QUITE AN ACCIDENT.
One OF the Men at h Cotton Mill
Discovers q Defect In a Railroad
Bridge.

Bridge.
Yesterday evening as the 7:20 freight train
passed over the bridge across the pu6nc road,
in front of the Abbeville Cotton Mill,
one of the factory people was near by looking
at the train. He heard the crash OF timber.
and at once went to examine the bridge.
He found that the long sleeper on which the
cross.ties rest was broken. He Immediately
reported the fact TO the station, when a flag.
man was sent to flag down the
$40 freight which was approaching. A tele-
gram was then sent to Greenwood In.
structing the engineer to stop and examine
the bridge before crossing.
Upon examining bridge the engineer had
no hesitation in p~ronouncing 1t dangerous,
and he would not cross 1t with his train.
He was willing TO leave the engine and at
tempt to board It after the bridge was crossed.
But it was deemed best to 'break" the train
on the track.
A force from the shops went down to make
the necessary repairs, and at 1920 che flagmen
were whistled in, when the train moved
safely across the bridge and up to the shops.

RENTER FIRES BACK.
There was Two Sides TO Landowner
and the Lurch.
LoWndesville, S. C., June l9, lSs

LoWndesville, >. u, June ~, 1871.
Editor Press and Banner:
I noticed in last Press and Banner a sketch
from "Troupe" in regard TO some OF the rent
ers in the scourged district, as giving up. the
land they had rented and leaving the land
holder and merchant In the lurch. Well, as
TO the merchant, WI cannot say that he is lett
vet. II Providence still continues to send
destruction after destruction upon US he In
all probability may be left. AS for the land
holder being left, he or she, whoever the land
belongs to Is responsible for being left. When
the scourge came upon US 1t left us without
the least prospect OF anything whatever. Mr..
or Mrs., he or she, whoever the land belongs
to was sought and asked to lend a helping
hand in the way of q reduction In rents, or
take q part of the crop, which was positively
refused. Consequently both renter and sub
renter was compelled to give up the ghost.
IT all the landholders in this scourged dis
triot were like the one In question we Ger.
tainly stand in need Of a missionary, but
such is not the case as they all with one CON
sent agreed to do what was right and give
these renters 8 living chance.

Lindblom's Telegraphic Letter,
Il. Llndblom wired ID. Latimer at
Madison Tuesday as follows:
When wheat was fLally eBtab-
lished above rs cents the old supersti-
ton OF traders came into play. and
many bought wheat then simply on the
theory that after having crossed rs
cents IL would go up to 80. This SEN
timental buying has been going on
for several days and has been led by
the prominent shorts In this market,
who took their medicine and got long,
and they have been as pronounced bulls
the past two days as they were bulls
before. 1t is good thing to be able
to change ones mind 80 radically and
SO rapidly, but whilo VIC do not deny
the proposition that wheat may adj
vance or cents more, we prefer to
let the late converts profit by that ad-
vance. When wheat was at 81 cents
we were bullish on facts as they then
existed, namely the scarcity Of wheat
all over and the low prices. We have
had the effects Of those facts and from
now on for fixty days we shall be con
fronted with another set OF facts which
may be ignored for the moment, but
not for any great length OF time From
now on for 80 days there will be 1000.
900 bushels or more Of wheat coming
