galiy Acquired, Says Judge Gage.
At Chester. S. c.. Thursday Judge
: Gage issued an order restraining the
Seaboard Air Line from acquiring the
South Bound railroad, and ordering
the authorities Of the latter road to
show cause why receiver should not
be appointed.
The South Bound gas built about
eight years ago between Columbia and
Jacksonville 1t was Immediately
leased by the Florida, Central and Pc
ninsular. Later the Seaboard acquired
the property by lease. The F., c. and
P. was never incorporated in the state,
nor has the Seabc-d Air Line domes-
tic charter. Consequently damage
suits must be made cut against the
South Bound.

BLIND TIGERS Do FLOURISH.
A Merry War Is Expected In Charles
ton When State Constables
Appear on the Scene.

The orders from the state board Of
dispensary control to close all beer
and liquor dispensaries in Charleston,
S. c., has not so far interfered with
the traffic Of the tigers. When the
quiet tip was passed down the liquor
line Friday morning that places would
have to close, the 500 blind tigers
made a merry rush to buy, and while
they did not force the price up by the
movement, they got enough liquor to
pull through a period. According to
careful estimates there are 500 tigers
in Charleston.
Temperance and prohibition people
are glorifying over the conditions ex-
listing in the city now. They believe
that the dispensaries will be kept
closed until the legislature next year
can amend the law as to the organiza-
ton of the board of county commits
sioners, and should this prove the
case the temperance and prohibition
element will make capital by using all
efforts to have the law strictly en-
forced. There Is so much money In
volved, however, that the state can
hardly afford to lose the revenues
from Charleston, and already efforts
are making toward satisfactory ad-
justment of the troubles. The tangle
is so deep that the supreme court will
have to pass final judgment, but all
difficulty would have been avoided had
not the Charleston county delegation
been negligent Of its duty. This dele
CATION failed to note the passage OF
the new county commissioners act,
and while the purpose was to except
Charleston from it's operations this
delegation did not see the mess until
it came out in the newspapers q week
or two ago.
When the state constables are sent
to Charleston to help enforce the law.
as is confidently expected, outsiders
look for hot fight between these OIL
GERS and the hundreds Of blind tigers.

bany Claim to Have Won Fight.

bany Claim TO nave won ''9"''
AS is usual, both sides to the con-
troversy claim the credit in the settle
ment of the big street railroad light
in Albany, N. Y. From the face OF the
agreement it is evident that the strlA-
ing men won these concessions:
Increasing night men and extra
mems wages to 20 cents per hour.
Granting men the right Of appeal
from a decision of an inspector or the
superintendent to the Traction COM
pany's executive board.
The road to pay any employee for
lost time when suspended and found
not guilty.
Employees permitted to ride on
their own divisions free by showing
their badges.
No discrimination against strikers
who have not committed violence.
The Traction people obtained these
concessions:
That men who were on strike and
committed violence shall not be rein
stated unless proven guiltless.
That the road may hire or discharge
any man without reference to his az
filiation or otherwise with the union.
That no proposition to strike shall
be acted upon until forty-eight hours
has elapsed from the time OF notifica-
ton and that if strike is ordered 1t
shall not take effect until six days.
General Oliver waited for some time
to have Sheriff McCreery notify him
that the strike was ended, but finally
ordered the return Of the troops to
their home.
The strike lasted twelve days, and
required the presence Of three thou

At the morning meeting Of the re-
lief association It was deemed neces-
sary, owing to the conflicting reports
sent through the country by individ-
uals, which tend to confuse the pub
he mind, to create an authoritative
channel through which must be sent
all information relating to the situa-
ton. A. press representative was ap-
pointed in the person OF Edwin G.
Weed, bishop Of the diocese Of Florida,
and the Associated Press was chosen
as the channel Of transmission Of ap-
peals and statements of the needs Of
the people. So the public is informed
that all statements as to needs, all
requests and all proclamations, unless
signed by Bishop Weed or sent by his
direct authority, are not to be given
credence by the people and In no way
voice the organization that Is charged
with the relief work Of Jacksonville.

( SOUTH CAROLINA
( STATE NEWS ITEMS.
Editors in Controversy.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There has recently been a contro-
versy between Mr.. N. G.. Gonzales,
editor of The State, and Mr.. A. B.
Williams, editor of The Richmond
News. Mr.. Gonzales, in commenting
upon the offer of the Office Of post
master to General Wade Hampton,
characterized it as an attempt to buy
General Hampton.
At this Mr.. Williams took exception,
for, as he stated subsequently, he had
suggested the proffer. Mr.. Williams
assailed the policy of The State in re-
lation to Governor Ellerbe and the
state printing. Mr.. Gonzales, in re-
ply, showed that the state printing
contract was awarded in an open and
legitimate manner and that it was
not accepted from Governor Ellerbe.
The charge Of Mr.. Williams were
characterized as malicious and false.
This was about the last the general
public saw of the matter, but that
was regarded as pretty plain talk,
even for editors.
The State again takes up the story
where it left off. 1t appears that
there has passed between the two gen.
tlemen private correspondence which
indicates that Mr.. Williams intimated
that he would send challenge. The
State makes no comment, but pub
fishes the correspondence in toto.
On May 18th Mr.. Williams wrote:
Il have the honor to request Of you
an immediate retraction Of the words
malicious SANDERS and contemplate
as applied to statements printed over
my name and written by me, and an
apology for using such words in con-
nection with statements from me-"
etc.
To this Mr. Gonzales replied that he
was rot accustomed to making state
ments of whose truth he was not con-
vinced. He rejected Mr.. Williams's
demand to apologize, etc. He repeats
that certain of Mr.. Williams's state
ments were untrue. AS to the intima-
tior Of a challenge following his re-
fusal to comply with Mr.. Williams's
demands, Mr.. Gonzales stated that he
must uphold the laws of the state, and
those laws forbid the conventional
settlement of half century ago. How
ever, he would allow Mr.. Williams to
fire at him without his returning the
fire of Mr.. Williams This he knew
to be quixotic, apparently, yet it evil
denced his willingness to assume re-
sponsibility for his editorial utter
ances.
The correspondence continued,
there having been another letter from
Mr.. Williams and another reply from
Mr.. Gonzales. No settlement seems
to have been reached yet. Mr.. Con-
zales publishes the correspondence
through no violation Of etiquette, but
because Of statement by Mr.. Will
liams that he would place the matter
before the public.

men, filled up with dispensary whisky
and proceeded to paint the town red
Sunday afternoon. Out on Ruthford

took possession of a house Of ill fame,

Leaving the house they saw young

Sloan drew his pistol and warned
them to stop. They drew pistols and
knives and made a dash at Sloan, who
opened fire, his bullet hitting Hart in
the leg. The assailants commenced
firing on Sloan, but being too drunk,
they missed him, and got into fight
among themselves, in which Hart
was cut across the face. Sloan took
the opportunity to escape, and ran
into town and notified the police, who
arrested the four men, and they are
now in jail charged with assault and
