Deserter Shehane's Case.

On Monday night Deserter
Shehane of Company f was
brought back from Union by the
detail nnder Lieutenant McGow-
an. All the men knew that his
case was an ugly one, for at the
tine of his desertion he was a
sentinel on duty ut night; he
stuck the bayonet of his gun in
the ground and left it there when
he went. He was brought in
handcutfed and turned over to
the officer of the guard, who hap
pened to be Capt Watkins of com
pany G. Capt Watkins had him
hustled into the guard tent and
detailed several of his most re
liable men to guard him all night;
he lOOsened the handouts n bit
SO as not pain the prisoner. When
he was put on the train at Union
to be brought back he was of the
belief that he would be shot, and
his aged mother appearing and
begging the officer not to let them
Kill her son made the scene IA
pitiablc one. When Shehane was
brought into camp he turned his
face away from the other men
who crowded rs near as possible
to take Il look ut him. 1t was n
trying ordeal for any man. She
hane gave as the excuse for his
act that he had some important
business at his home which he
wished to attend t. and said if he
had not have been arrested he
would have returned to the city
yesterday. The fellow does not
sccl to bc II man of very much
intelligence and the fact that he
went straight back to the com
munity where he was known
shows that he did not understand
the penalty provided by military
law for the act of desertion in
timt of war; in fact it is doubted
whether he thought he was doing
anything more than what the men
who had left after being accepted
had done.
Yesterday morning the pris-
oner was placed under a strong
guard and sent to the Richlaud
county Jail for safe keeping until
such time as the war department
orders the court martial for his
trial and sentence. The State.

The origin of the phrase "to

The St Matthews Gazette ex
presses sound and sensible views
upon the prohibition of the liquor
traffic, which we heartily endorse.
There is no question that the dis
pensary system has been an i'm.
provcment upon the baneful pres
cncc of saloons, wide open day
and night, and liquor drinking
has been reduced largely in the
towns and cities in spite of blind
tigers, but every ohSer want man
must acknowledge that the coun-
try people have been annoyed
great deal more with iiquor sell
ing and drunkenness. The State
had Il prohibitory law outside of
towns aDd cities, and in these 10.
cal optinn prevailed. The couu-
try districts were constantly i'm
proving a. regards sobriety and
moroI influences, but this condi.
tion has been wofully changed
since i>3!, and we want to return
to tho former state of affairs by
the enactment Of total prohibit
ton. The Gazette says:
As Il prohibitiouist we don't
propose to malign or abuse those
oppc-al TO us. We don't pro-
pose to appeal to past political
affiliations: we don't desire to
draw fa"tional lines, for that
would be neither honest nor man.
lv. We expect to stand flat foot>
eI upon the Justice of our cause
and attempt to convince by argu
mcnt. The voters of Orangeburg
county we take to be honest men,
who desire to know the right IN
order to do it. We don't pro.
pose to make an unjust war upon
the dispensary law, for we realize
and appreciate its benefits. We
freely admit that it is great im
provement over the bar room sys
tenn and that its benefits would
have been more apparent had i,
been gwen n fair and impartial
trial. Had we to choose between
the dispensary and the old system,
thousand times would we take
the dispensarv, and we have ar
opportunity to choose between
the dispensary and prohibition we
would thousand times prefer
prohibition, because we honestly Y
believe that as the dispensary Is
an Improvement upon the old
system much more would prohi-
bition be an i'm orovement upon
the dispensary.
