Trouble IN Columbia.

The Annual Inspection Of the Columbia
Military Companies came off last Friday
evening on the college grounds. The student Is
were playing a game Of base ball on the
western side, and the military were drilling
on the eastern side.
AdJustant and Inspector General Watts
marched the companies on to the grouncs oc-
cupied by the ball players. A foul ball struck
the horse which General Watts was riding.
The police and the students came to blows.
A policeman was badly beaten, Prof. r.
Means Davis received severe blow. and a
student named McCoal had his sk ull crushed.
Others were more or less injured.
AS far as We have noticed, tb 9 newspapers
have not injected into their reports any feel.
ing, one way or the other. The reports of this
difficulty are from the highest journalistic
standpoint. Would that all reports were as
fair.
From reading the reports, however, we
come to these conclusions:
l. There would have been no disturbance
IT General Watts had kept his command OH
the baseball ground, which was previously
occupied by the students.
2. That he is solely responsible for the fuss,
and should resign.
3. That policeman Davis acted bravely.
4. That we blame the students for nothing
5. That we admire the soldiers for remain
ing under orders, and in line, during the great
excitement A greater tribute to the orderly
bearing of the soldiers cannot be had than to
state the bare fact that they did not break
ranks and rush pell NELL into the trouble.
We hope that the Governor will uphold the
dignity and honor of the State.

HamptOn's Job.

II seems that General Longstreet is 10 get
from the President the appointment OF Rail-
road Com Missioner which is now held by Ex-
Senator Wade Hampton.
Twenty years ago, Wade Hampton's word
was law In South Carolina, but times have
changed. Hampton is no doubt today the
same chivalric gentleman that he was In the
sixties and in the seventies, but South Caro-
lima no longer idolizes him. He has grown
old and feeble. and he is no longer factor in
politics. Except few faithful friends, be is
almost deserted.
General Longstreet, was no less gallant and
no less patriotic than General Hampton, but
he made mistake long ago, for which the
people have never forgiven him.
Both Hampton and Longstreet are now old
men. and we presume that neither would
claim that he could give adequate service for
the salary of the Office. General Hampton
has been honored. General Longstreet has
not received the same evidences OF esteem
that have been showered upon Hampton.
Longstreet, because OF his politics. has been
left out In the cold, and II he should be in
vited In by Mckinley to warm his shins by
the official fire, we will not object. Poor old
man: he has been left shivering SO long.
But any idea that either he or Hampton
could earn the salary Ia mere joke. The
place Is merely pretext for granting pen.
sion, or else the appointment OF either is q re.

Special Seaboard Air Line Supple
ment to the Manufacturers Re.


We are In receipt OF the above named pub.
lication. It is exceeding Interesting as giving
much information about the little towns
along the line of the road, Of which the pub
lie may not have been previously informed
It is also interesting from the fact that con.
siderable information is given about the State
OF North Carolina. Some OF our people had
heard the name Of the Common wealth before,
but many of our people were lacking In the
specific information which is contained in
that supplement.
advertising, and it very properly received
very little. Abbeville and Chester, two OF the
largest and most important cities along the
line of the Seaboard Air Line in South Caro-
lima were too well known to need adyertis-
Ing, and so the editor Of the supplement did
not offend good taste by publishing facts
about cities which were known of all men.
70 do so, would have been to waste space that
should 60 to helping out the struggling cities,
villages, and pump stations along It's line.
The Seaboard has done good business at
Abbeville-perhaps as much business as II
has done at any place in South Carolina. The
increase Of It's business here is evidence
enough that Abbeville is forging ahead. We
need no gas bag to blow our fame. The Sea-
board can ignore Abbeville In its supplement
while trying TO wiggle out of paying part OF
Its voluntary gift to the factory. Abbeville
doesn't care cent. The Cotton Mill licks No
body's boots, and II the Railroad doesn t
want TO stand by its promises. or If 1t pro-
poses to take advantages of promises obtain
ed under misapprehenslon Of facts 1t can
do so.

Newspaper ANIMALS.

The advertising agents are now sen ding out
their circulars asking full statements OF cir
culation OF the different newspapers, intimat.
ing very plainly that they regard all state
ments which are not sworn to as false, and
they reserve the right TO correct any state.
ment not made on oath.
For some unaccountable reason the major
ity of the editors think the statements Of cir.
culation are some value TO the average coun.
try newspaper.
Such statements may be Of value to the
large dailies, but we have no doubt that such
statements by the better class of country
newspapers is worthless, and no paper which
expects to charge uniform rate for advertis.
ing can afford to take advertising at the rate
which the foreign agents fix.
For all patent side advertisements We be-
lieve the rate Is fixed at So year per inch
for all papers alike, counting the papers that
are printed at pump stations with no bona
f1de circulation as on a par with the best pa
pers that are printed on patent side.
The little pump station papers, with no cir
culation, can afford 10 take advertisements al
any price, but the well established papers
cannot afford to do SO. The agents as we un
derstand, put all patent papers on the same
footing from the simple fact that they can
contract with the newspapers unions at the
price named, and II anything is given to the
home printer 1t must be given at lower
price, with preferred space.
Viewed from the standpoint Of the Press
fnd Banner the newspapers ANIMALS are en-
drely unreliable. The statements in refer
ence 10 this newspaper are generally not true
and not In accordance with the statements
furnished from this Office. They make false
statements about this Office, and we expect tc
pay no further attention TO their circulars
than to contiscste their stamped enve lope.

The Dispensary Killed Again.

Judge Simonton never surprises the people
in his decisions against the dispensary-
The dispensary law mas about got nseu To
being killed, and we presume that II Is now
no deader than il has been on former occt-
| sions
The dspensary law has the support Of the
people, and we presume that judicial opin
ions will not prevail against the will of the
people.
The saloon men, their allies the prohibition
lists, and the liquor element of the State
might Just as we'll filter the fact into their
brains early as late. that the old bars will new
er be again opened In South Carolina.
Decisions by the Courts may interfere with
the enforcement of South Caro!ina's liquor
law, but these decisions can never change
pu bile sentiment. Without change OF pub
lie sentiment our lawmakers would not dare
TO reopen those most delightful places in
which the whiskey guzzling gentlemen do
most delight to congregate.
While it may be pity 10 cut off the supply
Of liquor from those who have acquired the
drink habit, yet the State will likely take no
step back ward.
As rule, the law has been acceptable to the
sober and moral element of the State, and be-
ing in the majority, they will not reopen the
bars.
High license is q cheat and fraud, in so far
as 1t may be held to be a concession 10 the
temperance element. We had high license in
Abbeville, which 1t was claimed, would re-
duce the liquor traffic and curtail the evils
that result from it. The fact is. that 1t did no
such thing. The rich could pay the high IL
cense,-the poor could not. 1t gave monop-
oily, while crushing out the man with less
money. There was no perceptible diminu-
tion OF crime or drunkenness under high H.
cense. A bar-room is bar-room, without ref
erence to the license which is paid for the
privilege of opening places which may seduce
and corrupt the unwary. Let no friend OF
temperance be deceived by any cry of high Ii
cense for open bars.
The Courts have been kind enough to point
out weak places in the law. If necessary, let
the Governor do his duty by calling the Leg
islature to amend the law, so as to come up to
the requirements OF the United States Courts.

The named places were strong Earle boxes,
where the Conservatives turned in force. On
thu first ballot Watts received almost the
solid vote OF Charleston-the most pronounc-
ed anti-Tillman voting precinct in the State.
Charleston voted for Earle and Watts. So did
Greenville, another stronghold OF anti-Till-
manism.
There seems to have been no concert of &C
tion on the part of the Conservatives in ref
erence to the election Of Adjutant General.
Richland and Sumter, two OF the strongest
Conservative counties voted for Richbourg.
But there is no rubbing out the fact that If
Charleston and Greenville had cast their votes
against Watts he would not have been elected.

Senator TtllInRn.

Senator Tlllman has been writing letters
and he always writes something that Is resd'
able. He Is unnecessarily exercised abou
the dispensary and he is too much worried
about the Agricultural Hall matter.
Nobody can question The correctness OF his
course, as long as it Is proposed to repudiate
the Blue Ridge Script debt.
Nobody beliyes that b. Z. Tillman has
stolen anything from the dispensary.
Many charges have been brought against
him, and he has as often proved himself
clear.
We really believe that there is the smallest
number of persons who doubt Tillman'
honesty-(if in fact anybody belives him dis
honesty

Who is Responsible for the Election
of John Gary watts?

From the Atlanta Journal we take the fol-
lowing:
"The opinion among the South Carolinians
seemed to be that II was case OF oao man
agement on the part OF the military autnorl-
ties and hot temper on the part OF tne STU
dents.
=. "Another South Carolinian who was al the
depot TO see the editors, remarked tnaI TUG e
adjutant general, John Gary waits, ls sma'l
man of Insignificant appearance, anu mas
none of the Commanding presence that IN,
spires respect in a body of men,. IL is salo
that he would hardly have been electeu, Dut
for the fact that he was on the liiiinan 'ieAe''
which swept the state
Let us enquire into the facts and see who is
responsible for the election Of John Gary
Watts. 1t may be stated that the opponent
of Mr.. Watts was one Cooper. The total vote
for Watts was 3S, SOC, and for Cooper, 33,0Sl.
There was no distinctivey Tillman ticket
nor any pronounced anti.Tillman ticket In
the field. The whole list of candidates, how
ever, was made up of Reformers, and as far
as the Conservatives were concerned, they
simply took choice between the Reformers.
From q review Of the figures, we are inclin-
ed 10 the opinion that the anti-Tlllmanites
are largely responsible for the election OF
John Gary Watts.
There were only two candidates for AdJu-
tant and Inspector General-Watts and Rich
bourg. or course the total vote OF the first
ballot settled the election of Adjutsnt and
Inspector General.
There being three candidates for United
States Senator, neither one of them having
received majority of the votes the second
election was necessary between the candi.
dates receiving the highest vote-John Gary
Evans and Joseph H. Earle.
The field for Adjutant and Inspector Gene
raj was between two candidates on the first
election, and on the second election there
were only two candidates for United States
Senator, the Conservatives voting solidly for
Earle. By comparing some Of the votes which
Watts received on the first ballot with the
votes cast for Earle on the second ballot 1t
may be seen who is responsible for the cleo
tion of Watts and Earle.
