Caused So Much Talk.

Caused So Much Talk.
The now famous letter in which Con-
stable ]. R. Fant told Senator B. R.
Tillman about misdoings in the dis
pensary four years ago, has been pub
lished. The letter was dated at Spar
tanburg, December 29, 1901, and ad-
dressed to Senator B. R. Tillman
Edgefeld, S. c. The contents are as
follows:
Dear Sir: l know that you will be
surprised to receive such a letter from
me, but l feel 1t my duty to let you
know the situation, knowing the in
terest that you have taken in the dis
pensary law and its enforcement.
The management of the diSpensary
law has become corrupt. Men are
specializing on constabulary posi-
tions. They sell a chiefs place for
$3.50 and a privates place from S25 to
$50. This city seemed to have been
headquarters. Mr.. Bill MCGOWAN
United States commissioner and for
mer partner of u. X. Gunter in the
practice of law in this city, is solicit
ing agent. He sends the applications
to some one in Columbia and they get
the governor to appoint the parties.
Mr.. MCGOWAN told a number of par
ties that Mr.. L. Y. Gunter was getting
the appointments at Columbia. l ex-
posed the whole thing to the governor
and they now have adopted another
plan by taking a part of the consta-
ble's salary at the end of each month.
They also speculate on the county
boards of control position. One Of the
county board of control of this coun-
ty. Mr.. Mark Rudasill told me in the
presence of another gentleman that he
paid L. X. Gunter $125 for his position
on the board. The county board is

HOT SHOT FROM BRIcE.

Senator ]. S. Brice of York, made a
warm speech in the senate last Fri
day night on the dispensary question
The Raysor- Manning publication bill
was under debate, and the senator took
advantage Of the opportunity not only
to express himself as to the merits OF
this measure; but rub it in to the dis
pensary generally, and hit back at
Senator Tillman on account of some
things that gentleman has been say
ing. He spoke for an hour or more
and made some strong points. The
following synopsis of what he said is
from the Columbia State of Saturday:
In beginning, the senator from
York disclaimed any intention Of re-
flecting on any Of the members OF
the senate, but he said that it was
truly a mystery to him that any true
South Carolinian could vote for such
bill as that which the committee
had produced.
He recalled that on July /, 1898,
the dispensary system, with breast
plate of righteousness and a helmet
of faith and a big stick in its hand,
came marching down with promise
Of good. Lead by the Great High
Priest, it began making dirty bar
gains with the Mill Creek Distilling
company. The senator was as usual
vigorous in his denunciations Of the
yStem. Continuing, he said that al
though this brave show had been
made, the people now. after thirteen
years-"that's unlucky for the dis
pensary' see corruption so foul
that he could not see how anyone
would link himself with 1t.
The dispensary is as full Of politics
as an egg is of meat, commented the
author of the Brice law, and then
he began on Senator Tillman, char
acterizing the interview in The State
of yesterday as adding insult to injury
when coupled with the whip-crack-
ing article published a few days ago.
He claimed the personal privilege Of
denying the statement against him.
self and said it was false. Not all
the barkeepers of Charleston have
taken away so much prohibition ter
ritory as this man in Washington.
Talk of disfranchisemnt This lu-
minary in Washington, from whom
his little satellites draw the light of
inspiration, thought and sometimes
even words. has done more harm a
thousand times than the barkeepers
of Charleston. Instead Of weeping
hypocritical tears over an insult offer

stead of pouring out vitriol on the

HOMICIDE AT SHARON.

Benjamin Armstrong, well hilo"i IL
throughout York county as well dig
ger, died at Sharon last Friday at
noon as the result Of being struck on
the head about a week before with a
piece Of plank in the hands Of James
Clark, also white. The circumstances
of the affair were investigated by Cor
oner Louthian and a jury immediate
ly after the death Of Armstrong, and
Clark was committed to jail to answer
for the killing.
It seems that Clark and Armstrong
were two Of a kind, both lovers OF
whisky and we'll known to each other.
Armstrong had been at work in the
neighborhood, and on the day Of the
tragedy he told Clark that he would be
at his home that night with jug OF
whisky that he had ordered and which
he was expecting on the train. This
was on February 2. The liquor came.
Armstrong paid the promised visit and
during the night he received the blow
that resulted in his death.
At the inquest Clark told the jury a
story to the effect that shortly after
coming to his house, Armstrong drank
a quart of whisky within about ten
minutes. Witness also drank some
whisky but not nearly as much as
Armstrong After while Armstrong,
feeling the effects Of his whisky, set In
to make a rough house. Clark tried
to pursuade him to go to bed; but he
would think of nothing of the kind.
Presently Armstrong began to feel
himself insulted and started after
Clark with an open knife. whereupon
Clark seized a piece Of plank and
struck Armstrong on the side Of his
head, knocking him over. Clark says
he struck only one blow.
According to Clark's story, the affair
occurred at about 10 o'clock; but
neighbors to whom Clark applied for
assistance after he had struck Arm
strong say that he came to them at
about O'Clock, Saturday morning,
Clark also said that he struck the de-
ceased only one blow, and that was on
the left side Of the head; but as the
right side Of the dead mans head
seemed to have been more severely
bruised even than the left side, the
jury was of opinion that several
blows had been struck.
People of the vicinity acquainted
with both men seem to be Of opinion
that the quarrel probably arose out OF
a difference over a game Of CARDS.
There was a deck Of cards on the fire.
board Of Clarks house when the
neighbors came in Saturday morning,
and from this and other circum-
stances, the gambling row theory
seems to have been most generally ac-
cepted.
Clark, otherwise known as McCar-
ney, Is about fifty years Of age. He
has lived in this county the greater
portion of his life and for five or six
years past has been conducting a
small blacksmith repair shop at Shar-
on. His reputation has been that OF
we'll behaved man when sober; but
he is said to be very disagreeable when
under the influence Of whisky which Is
a matter Of frequent occurrence. Arm
strong was also known as a hard
drinker, and had the reputation Of be-
ing a very dangerous man when under
the influence Of whisky. He has been
in a number of shooting and cutting
scrapes. He was about sixty years Of
age

Dead by the Wayside.

Dedo py tn0 "dJelo0.
Fort Mill special of February 10. to
the News and Courier: An aged man
was found dead near the Southern
Railway bridge over Catawba river,
three miles south Of Fort Mill this
afternoon. When found the old man
was clad in a suit of overalls, with very
thin underclothes, and as there were
no signs Of violence, 1t is probable that
he froze to death. Distributed in
nearly every pocket Of the overalls
was forty-seven dollars, and In one Of
his other pockets one old letter, on
which the only thing legible was Will
liam Maxwell, died December, 1852.
The body was brought to town and the
coroner will hold an inquest tomor-
row.
Proposed New Passenger Train.
Col. L. T. Nichols, general mana
ger of the C. & NV. railroad vas
in Yorkville yesterday, having come
up in his private car and remailed
over until this morning. On being
asked about the prospects Of The res
toration of the weekend passenger
train which was run with 80 much
satisfaction to the public during the
greater part Of last summer, Col.
Nichols said that his people had un-
der consideration something even
better than this. They have been
figuring for some time past on put
ting this same train on as a daily,
with a schedule going south by
Yorkville at about nine in the morn
ing and going north at about five in
the afternoon. The train has prac-
tically been decided upon and about
the only obstacle in the way is the
possible passage Of the Toole bill to
reduce railroad fares to two and one
half cents a mile. Col. Nichols says
that none Of his passenger trains
have been more than able to pay
expenses at three and three and one
half cents a mile, which latter rate
prevails in North Carolina, and,
while he would feel justified in max
ing an experiment with this proposed
new train at three cents, he is rath-
er dubious about the lower figure.
This proposed new train would be of
tremendous advantage to all York
county points and especially to
Yorkville.
