ELLERBE IS GOVERNOR.

The Inauguration of Governor ".
Il. Ellerbe and Lieutenant Governor
NIB. McSweeney took place lastMon-
day with imposing ceremonies. The
address of the new governor is brief
when compared with that of his pre-
decessors, but it is fnll of sound and
wholesome thought; conservative il
tone, and with not particle Of par
tisan feeling, it is bound to commend
itself to the entire Democracy of the
State. He advocates the dispensary
as the best solution of the liquor
problem and having been elected by
high complimentary majority,
which showed him to be the choice
of both factions, let US hope that a
new era has set in and from now on,
the rancor OF factional strife will end.
IfGovernor Ellebe's inaugural address
is to be taken as the compass to guide
his administration the people Of South
Carolina can rest assured that as iar
as lies in the power of their new Ex-
ecutive the laws will be faithfully ad-
ministered and that he will be the
governor for the entire people

The fight against our election laws
broke out again. This time the on
slaugbt will be made on the consti'
tutionality of our registration laws
The contestants, of course, expect tc
also make their fghtin Congress and
depend upon the big republican ma.
.Iority to give them victory. Should
the courts decide in their favor, the
barriers which prevent them from
over riding US, will be removed, and
then the white people will be forced
to undergo the experiences Of the
days prior to 1875. With this con.
ditior staring US in the face an effort
is being made by some ambitious
politicians to disrupt our present
congressional lines, and change them
back to where they were when South
Carolina had a full republican delega-
ton in the national house Of repre-.
sentatives. We dc not believe there
is representative in the sixth dis
trict who will cast his vote iot the
Patton proposition.

FOR personal USE ONLY.

The United States supreme court
last Monday filed decision which
sustaius and confirms Judge Simon
ton ii his interstate-commerce ruling.
Under tie decision it is unconstitu-
tional for the State to seize liquor
that is shipped in from other States
for the personal use of the consignee.
The dispensary law itself was not
touched by the court, and the only
question before the supreme court
was whether the State could interfer
with shipments from other States.
This decision does not effect the law
seriously, true, it gives people the
right to order the stuff from else
where, but for the past year they
have been doing this, under Judge
Simontons decision and the dispen-
sary was operated more successfully
than before the decision was render
ed. The fact that a man has right
to order liquor for his personal use
does not give him the right to order
so frequently as to put him under
SUSPICION. because under Simonton's
ruling if the liquor shipped from out
side the State is not for personal use,
it can be seized as contraband. When
the case was appealed we had hope
the whole question would be settled
but as the matter stands now, only
little piece OF the dogs tail has been
chopped off, and the contention will
continue until tic highest court in
LIKE land defnately decides whether
the State has the right to control the
liquor traffic to the extent Of engag'
ing in its sale; not until then, will the
people have rest on this much vexed
question, and we believe that the
lawyers should arrange a test case
with the attorney general and have
the question settled one way or an
other for all time.

Governor Evans, in his report ol
the condition OF Clemson College, did
tue institution a service when be
showed its weak places, but by do
ing so he rutfied our Senior Senator,
who is trustee of Clemson. If the
information and figures furnished the
governor are correct, there is some
thing in need of looking after, and it
is far better for the futnre of the col
Iege that its friends find the leak in
order that the proper remedies may
be applied. We venture to say, that
the governors message, although un-
palatable to some, will have the effect
of making a more careful business
management in the future, and the
very things he complains Of will re-
ceive special attention.

resentation in Congress will be from
our own ranks, then why not let well
enough alone.
There are many things for the pub
lie good the Legislature can do. The
free school system needs the attention
OF the best brain Of that body, and
if our lawmakers will spend less
time in making fences for their po-
litical future, and more time in doing
something that the taxpayers can
feel benefit from, there will not be
so much unrest all over the State.
There should be some meaps de-
vised to lessen taxes. We believe it
can be done by cutting down all un-
necessary expense, and by running
the affairs of the government on bus
iuess principles.
It costs pile of money every day
the Legislature is in session and we
know that a great deal of time is
wasted in the consideration Of just
such schemes as the ':Patton redis-
tricting idea Give the people such
legislation as the business conditions
demand and then stop. There is
plenty Of law now in fact, more than
is properly enforced, the statutes are
constantly being added to and
changed, even the lawyers cannot
keep up, hence the tangled condition
of things when there is case IL
court. Redistricting bills, concealed
weapon license bills, and all Other
bills that are not a necessity should
be shelved and the entire time de
voted TO making es~us Better schools
besteNros5s and bridges, and a bet,
ter showing generally for the taxes
that are paid.

THE EDITOR RETRACTS.

Yesterdays News & Courier con-
tains sort of an apology for graf
uitously insulting General John Gary
Watts, in the issue Of Wednesday
18th inst. It's a newspapers prov
ince to give news and to comment
upon the public acts of an official;
but when newspaper goes out OF
its way TO degrade a public official
by implying that said official was
drunk, when the fact was, he was at
his post of duty attending strictly 10
his business, the paper is going too
far and needs checking. General
Watts, on reading the offensive article
in the News and Courier, took the
frs. train for Charleston to interview
tie editor, and after failing to get
the desired interview the night of his
arrival, he remained over the next
day and again failed; he re,
turned to Columbia and wrote
la demand for Il retraction-
the editor retracted. This incident
is particularly unfortunate, because
fhe representatives from Charleston
are very anxious to show to the peo-
pie of the State, that they are in ac-
cord with them in any movement
which will benefit the material ~
terest of the State, and they are
especially anxious to work for the
restoration Of better feeling between
the country and city than has existed
for some years. General Watts la;
many friends in the law-making body
and when they read the unprovoked,
uncalled-for thrust al him, it was bet
natural that feeling of resentment
was wrought up and the Indignation
was not couiined alone to the country
members; ;Charieston's representatives
shared in the feeling, and we are told
that one of them vote home to apply
the gag against repetition OF such
injurious and unvarrented provo
cations.

WE BEG TO DIFFER

The Piedmont Headlight, edited
by Col. 7. Larry CAN'T, has within
the last few weeks turned its guns
upon the dispensary. 1t does not
come right square out and make an
open fight, but by series Of argu-
ments it implies an opposition far
more damaging than direct assault
would be. It claims to want the con-
tinuance of the dispensary, but to
suit the Headlight, it must be run
without profit and without constables,
both propositions, in our humble
judgement, will not hold. The dis
peusary must make profit or it will
not be sell-sustaining; the very ma
ture of the goods sold requires a
profit to make good the waste, and
besides the profit is paid by the con,
su,ner. The constable feature is a
necessity, for without 1t, the law
would not be respected half as much
as the present law against carrying
concealed weapons. All this talk OF
leaving the enforcement OF the dis
pensary law to the high moral sense
of the people is the veriest kind OF
bosb, and those engaging IN it know
It. The idea of leaving the enforce
ment of any restriction on liquor to
the high moral sense of the people is
absurd. If the dispensary is a good
solution of the liquor question, let it
stand as it is; if it is not, then wipe
it off the statute books
We read that otherStates have seen
the wisdomof South Carolina's liquor
law and are now discussing it in their
legislatures. North Carolina, where
thousands of gallons Of the stuff is
made, is about to have the law: then
why is that at this time when the
law is working smoothly, cannot our
public men aud the newspapers wait
to see what the results will be. The
Headlight has always been a strong
supporter Of the law, and its kick
about the constables and the man
agement generally while the question
is being pushed by the laws oppon-
ents has a peculiar appearance.

g YANKEEDOM'S BLACK
DRAuGHT.

The Massachusetts republicans are
very much chagrined over the cleo
ton of Isaac B. Allen, the negro
coucillor-elect, to the governor. Al
len was put forward for this high and
important position in spirit of fun
and by some turn in the political
wheel be received more votes than
his competitors and he was declared
elected. He is an eye sore to the
respectable republicans and all efforts
to oust him have proved unavailing;
large offers of money have been made
to get him to resign, but the coon
holds the fort. In an interview AL
len explained the first shock to his
sense of honor and patriotism in this
way:
"a few days after was elected I met on
the street man whom l knew well, who
said: "Allen, your fortune is made There
is no need for your worrying any more
about earning living have a check for
s., 600 in my pocket, and its yours If you
Will resign or get out as councillor"
'Never, said l, 1 am in this to stay. 1t
is race matter with me. You have not
got money enough to buy me out
Next two men came to my house and
rendered me check for $4,000 if would
go to Europe for year, for my health, as
he expressed it. They said that the money
was contributed by promiuet Republicans.
On my refusal they said they would make
it 10000 if desired. thereupon ordered
them to leave the house, and could with
difficulty restrain myself from throwing
them out bodily.
Il put my race above money, party or
anything else, and would not disgrace it.
Yes, SIR III going TO advise the Governor,
and shall be on hand AZ every meeting Of
the council.
Allen has got hold on the as
thetic massachusetts, people and he
realizes it. He knows full we'll that
he will never again occupy a high
political position and as the place he
now holds is second in importance to
governor, he will content himself
with what he has without regard to
the feelings of his Yankee friends.
If such an accident happened in the
South, those Massachusetts, "human-
itarians" would raise their hands in
holy horror at the attempt to buy
out the colored man, but as the shoe
is pinching our puritan" friends
and the smell of coon is obnoxious to
their sensitive olfactory's, we sup
pose they think the rest of mankind
should sympathize with them, but
they wont. We hope Allen will con-
tinue making the dose as nauseous as
possible.

,TWOULD DELIGHT CHICCO.
Tie correspondent OF the News and
Courier thinks it would be ''magnan-
imous on the part Of some legislator to
introduce bill to abolish tie metro
politau police system We can not
see wherein CONES the magnaninity
to abolish system which has given
the city the best police protection it
has ever had, and besides the people
of Charleston have not asked any
body to take away the police; the hue
and cry has come from the liquor
element and the politicians, who are
@ssse offspring OF that element. Let
the pl0p5yty owners have a voice, it
is that class WHO can appreciate police
protection, and it is that class who
will stand by the present system.
Charleston is too large city to have
it poiced by aldermanic influence,
because that influence is often under
another influence which is against
the city's moral interests. Augusta
has been under a metropolitan sys-
ten for years and it works so well
that it has become fixed iDstitution,
and the SYSTEM in Charleston will be
the same way as soon as the rum
sellers, faro dealers, and politicians
are made to understand that the law
abiding, property-owning citizens
have stronger voice in the affair OF
the public.
If the system is so obnoxious to
the good citizens that it would be a
''magnanimous" act for some mem
Der to introduce bill for its abolish
ment, why is it that the good citizens
of Charleston do not petition the
legislature for the desired relief The
S The law is on the statute books and
it should remain there even if the
commissioners are convinced that it
is best take it of, because there is no
telling what emergency may arise in
a sholt time after the legislature
adjourns. II the law is repealed, the
governor would have nothing to aid
him to enforce the law ard his ad-
ministration as far as the dispensary
law is concerned would be a farce.
Tie clamor kicked up by a certain
class against the metropolitan police
is entirely inconsistant with the pro-
LESSONS of confidence in Governor
Ellerbe. Ifthey are sincere in be-
ieving that our new governor will
make wise and just Executive, then
they ought to show their faith by
their works and let him alone; how
ever, they do not do this, they pat
him on the back and caress him, with
constant plea to take away the
police acd if lie does everything else
to restore an era OF good feeling IN
this State, and fails to take off the
metropolitan police, that pattlDg will
turn to wailings and the caressing
will turn to the strongest kind OF
auathemas in the various foreign
languages, principally Italian.

TELL YOUR TROUBLES TO

Col. Henry Ragin Thomas, Of the

salt upon the official beds OF his col

he uses some heavy structures against
the chairman and clerk. Col. Thom.
as unravelled his tale of woe to the
public in the newspapers, and his
final bow he IMAGES to the Genera
Assembly in the shape Of a minority
report, and request that the COM
mission be required to pay for the
printing. While all of this is going
on, the friends of Evans, Wilborn and
Duncan are quietly smiling and whet,
ting their knives upon their shoe
soles for Thomas's scalp.
The worst days work any man in
politics can engage in, is the airing oi
his political troubles in the newspa-
pers and Mr. Thomas has been eE-
ceedingiy unfortunate in this respect.
It matters rot whether he is right
or wrong, the fact that he complains
of his brother commissioners lower
ing the freight rates on fertilizers is
sufficient to turn the people who are
to be benefited against him The peo-
pie do not care whether the railroads
make money or not; what they want
is cheap hauling and the commission.
