liquor laws ever put upon the statute
books OF civilized commonwealth
II is the willful. debased, and dishon-
eat conduct Of the men in charge of
the system which has turned the minds
OF the people. The dispensary has for
twelve years been controlled by body
of men known as the board OF con-
troll These men have charge of pur-
chasing and distributing the whisky
sold in the State dispensaries scattered
throughout the forty-odd counties
In each county there IS one or more
dispensaries. according to population
and other existing conditions Upon
men who sell whisky without a com
mission from the State as dispensers
has been placed the vile term. blind
tigers
Perhaps there is no position in the
United States which presents a broader
field for graft" than a membership
upon this commission. And many are
the men who. have not failed to grasp
this opportunity. Their failure to en-
force the law and utter lack of personal
honor has at times been a disgrace TO
the State.

Claims Capt. Taggart
Still Loves His Wife
Gladly Drop the Case---Major Morton's
Deposition Strengthens Charges.

WOOSTER. Ohio, Sept 2--That Capt.
Gilmore E. Taggart still loves the wife
from whom he is trying to secure a
divorce many VINO have visited the
court during the last few days believe.
4 weli-known resident. who poses us q
student OF human nature. said tonight:
Il have been watching Captain Tag

nence. / base my opinion on the way
Captain Taggart keeps his eyes on
Mrs. TaGGart az all times. l believe II
The right persons went TO him. that the
Captain would gladly. even at this time.
drop the case
Every one, of course, has right to
his opinion. but the conduct OF the cap
tain and his words when spoken 10 on
the matter Of reconciliation. make those
who are in touch with them believe the
student OF human nature Is mistaken
in his diagnosis. That there are peo-
rle who still hope to see Mr.. and Mrs
Taggart make up their differences has
been demonstrated within a few hours.
The Rev. j. j. Excel, an aged min
lister of the city. today visited Mrs.
praying nightly for herself and boys
and Captain Taggart. asking that the
differences OF husband and wife be for
gotter for the sake of the boys Mrs.
TagGilrt, when spoken to, only shakes
her head. as 4 TO say, 1T cannot be.
Peacemakers Visit Litigants.
Both Captain and Mrs Taggart have
been visited by Mrs. Alice B. Evans, OF
Delaware. Ohio, with the same object.
Mrs Exams attended college with Cap
terest in himself and boys and Mrs. Tag,

seem to be appreciated by the litigants
but both hold that their differences can
not now be made up.

South Carolina Ready
To Fight DispenSaries
Become Corrupt on Account Of Graft
and Official Weakness

COLUMBIA, s. c., Sept. 2-One of
the most interesting political fights
which have taken place in this country
In the last quarter 0fa century is now
being waged in South Carolina against
the dispensary system. originated and
established by Senator Tillman.
For ten years or more the dispensary
has wtthstood the shock of every at
tack of the Prohibitionists and the
license men. With Senator Tillman as
its champion in State elections. many
good and able men have gone down
to utter defeat fighting it. but it now
looks as IL the people of South Caro-
lima will give il a Knockout blow this
faH or next summer. and adopt ahso-
Lutte prohibition.
All over the State there is a hue and
cry for the abolition of the dispensary
There will be no election In the Palmetto
State until next summer, when the
Democratic primaries will be held. bu:
there is a law on the statute books
which permits county vote on a mat
ter of this character upon sufficient
number Of names being signed to a pc
tition asking for public expression OF
sentiment. In county after county these
petitions are being signed by thousands
Of voters. and already Edgefield county
has voted against the dispensary-
Home Of Senators.
Edgefield county Is the home of Sena-
tor Tillman; Senator Cole Blease, who
will be a candidate for governor next
summer on the dispensary platform. and
Chairman Evans. of the State board OF
control. This board controls the liquor
traffic for the State government.
Senator Blease. who is an eloQuen;
young lawyer, took the field and made
many speeches for the dispensary, blu!
1t was voted out by almost two to one
Newberry county has also cast mega
tive vote.
In few days there will be a vote In
Greenville county. one of the largest
and most wealthy subdivisions of the
State. Public sentiment there is sc
strong against the dispensary that 1t Is
predicted an overwhelming vote will be
piled up calling for the abolition of the
system
The vote in these counties is not al
all final The supreme court of the
State Will be asked this fall in effect II
a county can abolish a State law of this
sort, as far as IL is concerned, without
a repeal by the Legislature. The court
may decide against the validity Of such
a procedure.
However, it is certain that the present
agitation is a mere ripple upon the sur.
face as compared with what will occur
IN the campaign next summer. 1t is a

Blind rigers' have been permitted to
do business in some Of the cities openly
and In competition with the State dis
pensaries- II has been charged by tenn
perance societies that there are more
than 200 blind tigers operating in
Charlestown. ali around the eight official
establishments.
In Columbia. the capital. ii is stated
that there are thirty-two blind tigers
within pistol shot of the state house.
These conditions prevail in other towns.
1t Is claimed that these blind tigers,
in Columbia and Charleston particular
ly. are operated with the full knowl-
edge and tacit consent OF the dispen-
sary officials and agents.
For a time the dispensary officials
covered their corrupt conduct with Won
derful skill, but gradually the thing has
leaked out, until the whole State Is in
an uproar-
Just what Senator Tillman will do in
the coming struggle Is a question. So
far he has not given any definite in
dicatfon of his plan of action Many
of his friends have expressed the hope
that he will remain quiet and let the
people vote upon the question without
his influence

was in command OF Captain Taggart's
battalion. His testimony was offered In
rebuttal to materially strengthen the
charges of plaintiff in regard to the al
legged conspiracy on the part OF Colonel
Miner and Mrs. Taggart. whereby Cap
tain Taggart was confined In the hos
pital at Fort Leavenworth on the charge
Of acute alcoholism.
SwoIe Charge Was Not True.
When Taggart was confined In the
hospital. the charge OF acute alcohol
SIN was made against ism in the hos
pital records. When General Miner was
on the stand for the defense. he swore
that this charge was not true. but that
he had him confined In order TO observe
his mental condition. Then Colonel
Van Hoff. the surgeon in charge OF the
hospital in his deposition said that Tag
CART WAS not a victim Of acute aIco-
holism and that there Was moth ng
wrong with his mental condition Now
comes Major Morton by deposition and
swears that he was intimately associat-
ed with Captain Taggart during NEST
of his military career and particularly
during the trouble at Fort Leavenworth
and that he never knew or heard OF
Taggart's being intoxicated and that
there was absolutely nothing wrong
with him either mentally or physically

occurred about that time / am quite OF
the opinion that he was confined to
keep HIM out of the way for other peo-
ple In gross violation OF all the rules
and regulations that govern the admin
isrration Of the army"
The reason most assigned was that
the post commander desired TO keep
Taggart where he could not talk.
Il went to the hospital day or two
after and asked the hospital sergeant
If / could see Captain Taggart- He
told me he had orders to allow no one

Could Not Get Redress
IF General Miner was not justified In
imprisoning Captain Taggart. Taggart
could have readily had redress by court
martial. could he not:'
Il should say not readily The whole
principal of discipline Is that the pre-
sumption is IN favor OF the commanding
Officer
In order then to have redress. the
presumption must be overcome?"
1T might happen very often that =
commanding officer would be upheld
publicly even though his course vs.
frowned upon or even reprimanded in
private. That statement will be readily
understood by any intelligent person )
The deposition OF Colonel Van Ho3
was read in rehuttsi.
He stated that his residence was Close
TO TagEart's at Fort Leavenworth and
that In spite Of the fact that the win
dows OF his house were all open on the
night of June 30, he heard no screams
nor cries for help coming from the Tag

its were always good

foregone conclusion that the liquor
question will be the one great issue In
State politics. Men Will be forced to
stand fatfooted upon either the dis
pensary" or prohibition" in their can
didacy for Office.
The main thing, however. will be the
race for governor. AS yet 1t Is hard
to tell who will be the principal can
didates for that high position. but
upon the struggle for this rich prize
will be concentrated all the power Of
/, the two opposing forces AS already
stated, State Senator Cole L. Blease
will be a candidate upon the dispen-
sary platform
Joseph A. Mccullough, Of Greenville
who is leading the fight against the
dispensary in that county. has been
mentioned as a probable candidate upon
the prohibition ticket. For years this
great lawyer and judge has been an
open enemy of the dispensary system
1t is not known yet whether he would
consent to accept the nomination OF
the Prohibitionists. as he Is ambitious
to become a member OF the Federal
judiciary. He Is a great orator. and
would make an ideal campaigner IN
the cause Of the temperance people.
For years the Prohibitionists have
made an unsuccessful fight against
the dispensary. Ever since Senator
Tillman. then Governor Tillman. estab-
lished the law In 1893. they have tried
from time to time to elect q governor.
There seems to be little doubt now.
however. that the dispensary has run
it's course, and will be voted out at the
polls.
Revolutions Cause.
What is the cause Of this revolution
in public sentiment?
Is it because of waning popularity Of
the dispensary's great champion. Sena-
tor TiIlman? Or Is IL because the law Is
a bad one?
Almost every fair-minded South Caro-
linian will answer both questions with
out a moments hesitation in the mega
tive. Senator Tillman is stronger to-
day than he was ten years ago when he
entered the Senate Every day he wins
over men who in the past were his Bit
| terest enemies. and there is not man
in the State today who would deem 1t
wise to come out and run against him
(, for the United States Senate. By many
he is regarded as the strongest man the
Palmetto State has had In the Senate
since the time Of John c. Calhoun.
There are not more than a small ma
jority of men in South Carolina who will
say that the dispensary law itself is
bad 1t Is. perhaps. one OF the finest
