The Columbia Tragedy.

Every man in this State may take tho
Columbia tragedy to himself. Under
tho disponsary law the best house as woll
as tho humblost in tho State is liable to
search. Any mans wife is liable to in
trusion and insult. A discharged aud
angry servant, ropulsed beggar, any
body, can mako an affidavit or an accusa-
tion and bring the constables to explore
and put their hands and eyes in every
part of n home. Nothing is guarded or
reserved. A mans house, although ho
may own it and everything in it, is not
his castle in South Carolina now. Any
dirty follow who wears q constablos 8
badge and who can induce somo other
dirty follow to make an affidavit or who
wishes to make case for himself, may
enter and search, may go into every
closet and trunk and drawer. The State
is wido open so far as tho homes of it's
people arc concerned.
Hero in Grcenville wc have had little
trouble in that respect. A fow years ago
when an attempt was made to search a
respectable mans home tho citizen who
was Uuc VlCUlttl SJOpl liz Ills IrOuU plaZZa
with shot gun and gave notice that the
first man who ente' lld be killed.
Five hundred Green. 10 mon gathered
and stood ready to make the threat good.
Since then we have had decent and re-
spectacle mon who have tried, and sue
cessfully, to execute the law in a decent
way. But people should remember that
the law does not protect the citizen. 1t
leaves him at tho mercy of tho constable,
gentleman or blackgnard, drunk or
sober
Stuart was right when ho deiendod his
house. Every other respectable man
should do likewise. The woman, shot
down in tho presence of her husband and
children, is another victim to Ben Till
mans dispensary law---Ben Tillman's
constablcs, and tho "revolvers of tho lar.
gost size" bought by Ben T;llman with
State money for just such purposes. The
blood of this woman, like tho blood of
many others, is on tho guilty head of
that man who, to crafty his own greed
and to further his own ends, imposed this
law on the State. News

Another Sacrifice Upon tho Altar Of
s'.. vs. WhlskeY. ....

The killing Of Mrs. Isabella Stuart, q
lady Of Columbia, by tho State constabu,
larry, Is tho consummatiou of another
sacrifice ',por the altar of whiskey, and
adds moro to tho evidence going to prove
that all officers of tho disponsary should
bo bonded for the faithful and legal dis,
charge of official duty. 1t makes tho
blood of gentleman boil in tho veins to
think that an inoffonsivo lady has boon
shot down in the enforcement of tho dis,
pensary law. A man so reckless as to LOT
fly 44-calibre into tho inoffonsive breast
of woman is too much to ask an in
tel)igent people to endure, and especially
so when the offenso is committed by a
drunken constable, who receives the
sum of two dollars per diem. No ono is
surprised at tho indignation of tho peo-
pie of Columbia ut such conduct. Lot
us have prohibition.

What Shall We Do?

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. 1t comes on so slowly yet
surely that 1t is often firmly seated be-
fore we are aware of it. q
The name of this disease which NAV be
divided into three distinct stages is first
kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the
back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de-
sire to urinate, often with burning
sensation, tho flow of urine being copioua
or scant with strong odor.
Ii allowed to advance, this reaches the
second stago, or bladder trouble with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
betwcen the navel and tho wator passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scald
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with Instruments.
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected.
Tho third stage Is Bright's disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DR..
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered remedy fam
GUS for its marvellous cures of the most
distressing cases and known as DR.. Xii.
mor's Swamp-ROot.
1t is sold by all druggists.

this great discovery, Swamp-Root, q sam

Another Dispensary Tragedy.

On Tuesday night, in Columbia, ano-
ther dispensary tragedy was onactcd.
This time tho luck turned and newly
appointed constable was tho victim.
A}ex. Cartledgo was shot and killed by
w. B. Meetzo, Jr. Both wore young
mon and had been friends in tho past.
Cartledge had served only ono day as
constable, and chanced to mcct Mcctzo
on the street. Meetze twittnd him with
being a spy. Cartlodgo said it was lie,
that he was q constable. Cursing be-
gan, when Mcotzo drew his pistol and
fired on Cartlcdge. The latter fingered
about an hour and died. Mcotze sur
rendered to tho sheriff and was lodged
in Jail. He is son of w. B. Mectze,
who dofled B. r. Tillman and his whole
force of constables at State fair several
years ago and sold beer bchind two Tc-
yolvers. Thus another victim has boon
sacrificed on tho altar of Bacchus, and
tho iniquitous constabulary system has
another precious life to answer for. This
feature of tho dispensary law must be
abolished sooner or later, even should
tho law in other respects DO preserved.
When tho enforcement of tho dispcnsary
law is left with the shcrifr's of tho State,
and their regular deputies, like ovory
other criminal statute, bloodshed will
cease, and not before. SO long as ire
sponsible constables are allowed to roam
over tho State, human life will remain in
jeopardy.

State Constable Shoots n Woman.

There was a adeplorablo shooting scrapc
in Columbia Saturday night, caused by
an attempt of dispcnsary constablcs to
search the house Of Mr. John Stuart who.
the warrant alleged, was running blind
tigor. Mr.. Stuart resisted tho search,
;.nd in the alteration that onsucd, one
of tho constablos was shot in tho wrist,
Stuart was shot in the mouth and his
wife shot in tho breast and killed. Therc
was great deal Of excitement and a
mob of 400 or 500 gathered around the
magistrates office, where tho sheriff had
carried the constables as prisoners, and
made threatening demonstrations. Two
companies of tho local military were or
dered out by the governor to protect the
prisoners and they were finally carried
to tho penitontiary.
An inquest was held Monday by Coro
nor Green, and the jury rendered q ver-
dict that Mrs. Stuart came to her death
from gun shot wound inflicted by the
hand of one w. r. Crawford, wilfully
and maliciously, and that j. G. Dorm, j
b. Cooley and j. B. Coleman were acces
sories to the crime. This is tho third
killing scrapo that Crawford has been en-
gagged in as q constable.
