Chief ". n. Bahr's Coed Work.
Communicated.
Chief State Constable W. n. Bahr
and his raidirg squad Of FIVE men
have been operating for tie past
month in the counties Of Aiken,
Orangeburg and Lexington, and have
captured from fifteen to twenty cop
per and pot stills, and destroyed a
quantity of moopshire whiskey.
They have pretty well cleaned up the
distilleries in these counties. Daring
the past week while on these raids
they attempted to search the house
of Mr.. Deb Red, of Aiken, who had
been reported, and on presenting
their search warrant Mrs. Red got
hold of a double barreled shot gun,
and Mr.. Red who also had a pistol,
refused to allow the constables to
make the search, saying that they
would oDly do so over their dead
bodies. Chief Bahr realizing the
condition and to avoid any trouble
arrested Mrs. Red and took the gun
away from her, she cursing and
abusing him and his men in a most
violent manner. After disarming
Mrs. Red and placing her under
arrest, her husband then submitted
to the search and also trying to
make his wife keep quiet, but she
refused to do so and kept cursing
and abusing the men. Chief Bahr
had them both bound over for inter
fearing with the officers in discharge
of their duty; and thus avoided any
further trouble. The citizens in
these counties are very much pleased
with Chief Bah1's work and copgrat'
ulate him on bis good and successful
way of enforcing the law, end he
ce:tainly makes a good officer.

ASSIu " -. w. sS4SS3 ~-S
H. W. Rice, Z O., died suddenly at
the home Of Mr.. =. Glenn Mack, near
Swansea, in Bull Swamp township,
on March 9th.
MAGISTRATE U. W. Jefcoat held the
inquest and the testimony develop ed
the fact that Mr.. Rice arrived at tie
place of his death the day previous
at about ii O'Clock and complained Of
having been sick and suffering with
LaGrippe, but it was not thought
that be was seriously i'll. The morn
ing of the day of his death he ate a
light breakfast and appeared to be
restless and complained Ct a pain IN
his left shoulder. He remarked:
MY Lord, it is getting around up to
my throat" and Mrs. Mack offered
him some medicine to relieve his sui
fering but he declined, saying that
he would first take q walk and if he
did not get relief he would then take
something. After an absence Of abou.
fifteen minutes be returned to the
house and sat down. He was beard
to exclaim, oh, Lord, Mercy" and
Mrs. Mack beard him fall and scutfle.
When she reached him be was in a
dying condition and his soul winged
it's everlasting fight to that country
we know not eff without him uttering
another word.
The verdict CT the Jury was that,
III. W. Rice came to his death from
natural causes
Mr. Rice was at one time a prom!-
nent member of this bar and in 1877
IS was Trial Justice at this place,
succeeding G. NJ. Harman. He was
a native of Colleton county, gradu-
ated at the South Carolina College
with hoDore, and taught school in
Columbia for several years immedi-
ately after the war. Daring the war
he did excellent service in the signal
CORPS on the coast. For several
years when first located here he was
editor of the Dispatch. He was en-
dowed by nature with briEiaacy, wit,
grace and intelligence of high order.
When be first came to this place he
became the leader of the Lexington
bar and soon enjoyed a large and lu-
crative practice, and was esteemed
and respected by the community at
large. His recent life, however, has
been an impenetrable mystery ard a
sad disappointment to his large cir
Gle of friends. Let US revere lis
virtues and good qualities end forget
and bury bis faults with him in the
grave.

be the passport to positions OF uoIc
trust, ard only those are likely to lie
chosen who are wiling to represent
the whole people without reference to
past factionsl affiliations.
The writer %rejoices in common with
good and patriotic men on both sides
that this happy result has been at
tanned andrecalls with pridethat some
4years since be made an earnest efforS
to allay the then existing bitterness
and to ]harmonize the opposing wings
of the party, realizing that continued
strife between men equally patriotic,
was not oily unnecessary when 10
principle was involved, but suicidal.
While the policy of the present
General Assembly on important
public questions his already been
clearly defined; and while the
e ection Of one new mtm5tr
OF the Senate will in no wise
change the complexion Of that body;
the people have the right to know
the views of those who solicit their
votes for public Office. 1t is a source
of pleasure to me to recall even now,
that during a term Of public service
extending over a period Ct eight
years, very few complaints, and none
of them important, were ever made
against ny public course, and that
no man who cared to inform himself
was ever for a moment left in doubt
as to my views on any public ques-
ton with reference TO which an
opinion had been formed.
1t must lie well known that during
all these years 1 never once shirked
sny responsibility, never once shank
from the performance Of any public
duty, never once attempted to escape
the consequences of any act or vote by
any species Of evasion. While my
judgment at times led me to oppose
the views of some of my warmest and
most valued friends, and while tt cir
support in some instances was with
drawn, their respect and esteem,
which was worth more, was retained.
At the proper time and in the proper
place such opinions as I may enter
tain on public questions will be pro-
claimed with a voice which will give
forth no uncertain sound.
Let it not be thought that my mo-
tives in seeking public Office are en-
tirely selfish. There are subjects yet
untouched in which I feel an abidir 6
interest. There is one particular
subject which ought to be promptly
considered, and which under proper
management would save thousands
Of dollars to the people Immediately,
ona hundreds of thousands ultimately.
This matter las been thought out
with some AR and will be discussed
in its proper place.
Let this paper close with grateful
Acknowledgements to my friends and
