Will Investigate
The Outrage in Spartanburg
By ConstabIes.

1t looks as If the State dispensary
constables who committed the acts
complained Of in The State yesterday
in Spartanburg on Saturdy night last
are going to have some trouble about
their reckless behavior on that oc-
casion Governor Elle.be intends to
go to the very bottom of the matter.
The Spartanburg Herald published
an account Of the doings Of the con-
stables which i; took pains to state
had been most carefully made 1t
than addressed very strong open
letter to the governor in which at
tention was called to the fact that
two of the leading constables in the
matter were two men who have been
convicted Of manslaughter and are
now out on bond pending appeals.
When Governor ElIerbe was asked
about the matter yesterday he stated
that be intended to order Immediately
a complete and thorough investiga-
tion of all the facts charged and if
they proved to be as stated in The
Herald he proposed to take action
in the matter at the earliest possible
moment
Governor El!erbe went On to say
that SO far as he knew Eichelberger
had nc business in Spartanburg No
one had ordered him to go there.
He had been reinstated on the force
recently in order to let him complete
certain cases he had been working
upon in Laurens county. Eiche'ber-
ger was supposed to be in Laurens
county when the trouble occurred in
which be seems to have figured as
the star actor.-The State.

He told me that he had received no offer of
the State Department then, and he had at
that time no knowledge that Mckinley
thought of him in that connection. He told
mt tI'at He uiu Iot KNOW mat he would care
for the position II 1t were offered him and
that he thought he should like to finish his

however, whether he then knew his own
mind On the subject. He realizes the great
ness of the position, and that he might there
have a chance to make his mark on the
diplomatic history of our nation. The place
would be fit climax to his long life of
public service, and with his magnificent
mansion he could make his administration
a great social one. He has been at the
head of the committee on foreign affairs
of the Senate for many years. and would
make more efficient Secretary of State
than any man now talked of. He has never
before had chance to be at the head of

How Allison Refused Harrison
Garfield was the first President under
whom Senator Allison refused a cabinet
place. l understand that he has been up
permost in President Mckinley's mind as
the head OF the State Department, but that
the President-elect has wanted to know
whether he would refuse or not before he
offered the position. I get this from men
very close to Mckinley. Senator Allison
told me once that he could not take the
interior Department under Garfield be-
cause he did not want to antagonize Gov.
