A SHERIFF SToPs A BULL FIGHT.
The Sh0wmen 0bdurate, but the Sheriff
Gains his Point BY Calling Upon the
-. : CataWba Rifles for Aid.

Rock HILL, December 12.-The &C.
tive interference of the sheriff was
needed to stop the exhibition OF
fighting of bulls, dogs and chickens
advertised to be given at Thomssson's
farm at II o'clock today.
In accordance with the instruc-
tions of the Governor Sheriff Logan
went to the proposed arena before
the hour fixed for the beginning of
the performance. He informed
Messrs. Thomasson and Tillman, the
owners of the bulls, of his instruc
tions and of his intention to carry
them into effect.
The reply was that they too, had
token legal advice and that the Gov
ernor had made mistake in choos-
ing his mode of procedure; that he
should have applied to the Courts
for an injunction.
The sheriff was not disposed to
split hairs about the matter and, as
the projectors of the programme
seemed IN earnest in their determine
ton to force the fight if there were
any spectators, he decided to call for
help. A message to Capt Dunlap

and the Cstawbs Rifles was all that
was necessary, and in short time
this company was on the spot, ready
to support the authorities.
This put an entirely different view
of the matter before the bull fighters.
The sheriff and his. own constable
were good men and true, bat they
might not be able to stop the fight
If the crowd came. But the sheriff
in earnest and backed by q company
always ready to obey orders might
win in any appeal to force.
Thereupon Messrs. Thomasson and
Tillman decided to call off the main
features of the programme and to
amnse those who had come with a
drag race. This was done. The
prompt and firm. action of the sheriff
and the military company put an end
to all expectations.
There is not much grief over this,
but there is some apprehension lest.

neighborhood should culmiRate in an

political emergencies. -.
| During the conference between the
President and Capt, Capers and Ma.
jor jenkins the proposition of ap.
pointing DR.. Crum to Federal of
fce outside Of South Carolina was
considered, but the President was
not disposed to receive suggestions
in that direction with favor.
If DR.. Crum is entitled to- any
recognition by the present admins
trstion he will be provided for within
the confines of his own State. The
proposition of transferring Major
jenkins from the Office of collector
of internal revenue to that Of mar
shall was suggested bnt Major Jen
kins prefers to remain in his present
position, for the time being at least.
The President appears to be in no
hurry to announce his final determin.
alton with regard to shese two ap-
pointments until he has fully consid.
cred the subject. It is his present
intention tos fill the two existing va
cancies at the same time.

The South Carolina problem. Capt.
Gapers and Major Micah Jenkins to-
day had protracted conference with
the President relative to the appoint
ment now vacant in the Palmetto
State.
The situation in South Carolina
was freely discussed from every con-
eeiyable standpoint and the result
viii probably be announced at an
early day.
While no definite conclusion has
yet been reached by the President
to-days developments indicate quite
clearly that the President is disposed
TO recognize the efficiency of DR..
Clayton by promoting him to the
marshalship, and the appointment of
Dr Crum 10 tie collectorship of the
port. This the President appears to
think is 8 fair adjustment of the con-
troTersy which has surrounded these
two important Federal appointments
in South Carolina. .-..
Although no definite announce
ment was made at the White House
today concerning these two appoint
ments, it was stated that the .Presi-
dent IS still investigating the Crum
matter s.in his own way" and if he
finds that the charges against Crum's
integrity are not well founded he
could not recede from his original in
tention to- sppoint him simply be-
cause Of his color.
The pressure for DR.. Crum's ap-
poihtment 10 Federal Office IN
South Carolina is not confined to the
Republican organization in that State;
indeed DR.. Crum's strongest infu
ence comes from four Republican
States IN which the negro vote cuts
an important figure.

militia, and the national government
requires that such material be kept
secure from damage or destruction,
except from natural causes. I sub.
NIT the mater again for yoar con-
sideration, whether it is best TO rent
an armory from year to year, or for
the State to build one of its own,
and thereby stop an annual outlay
that in FIVE years would amount TO
the cost Of suitable and substantial
State building"
It is also highly essential that
some provision be made to furnish
armories for the companies Of the
| volunteer service, where they can
| assemble for drill, and where the
arms, uniforms, and ordnance stores
can besafely kept. Il has been said
that "a good armory 10 almost as
surely productive ofagood company
as q goodhome sproductive of good
family" At present the State does
nothing in that direction. A small
appropriation added TO the present
one, Of 5000 would enable COM
psnies that have no srmories 60 pro
vide one. And where companies al
ready own their armories taxes there
on should be RENTED and the
amounts charged to said companies
in lieu Of their quota OF any appro-
priation made for that purpose.
I would also state that besides the
fact that rents in Columbia are stead.
lily advancing, it is difficult to find q
building suitable for the storing Of
military goods, the one now occupied
being too small and unsafe.
Owing to the increased sppropria-
tion by the national government q
much larger quantity Of military
stores are received and dispensed re-

ing immediste action on this import.
