city hall today and attempted to shoot
Capt. P. D. O'Brien of the detective
bureau.
The man placed revolver close to
Capt. O'Brien's head, saying:

Capt. O'Brien sprang up, knocked
the man down, and took the revolver
away. He was at once attacked by
the insane man, but after desperate
fight subdued him. With the assist
ance of other officers the man was
placed in cell, where he became ex-
tremely violent, it being necessary
for several officers to hold him on the
floor to prevent him from dashing his
brains out against the wall. Later he
was removed to the hospital for the
detention of the insane. Nothing
found on the man indicated his iden-
tity.

Only A Change Of Base.

The friends of sobriety, order and
true democracy have very little, if
anything, to rejoice over in the clos
ing up Of the State dispensary, and
the opening up of county dispensaries.
The principles of the one are of ne
cessity the principles Of the other.
Democratic government was not
founded as trade. Our forefathers
never dreamed that the glorious heri-
tage which they purchased with their
blood would be so perverted But
alas, their memory has been despised,
their names abused and their work.
set aside. Spoilsmen must have
measures suited to their purpose and
here's their cry: Give us legislatures,
give us judges, and our work will be
done, not as the people want it, but
as we choose. Under this cry, and to
this end the dispensary was thrust
upon us. Spoilsmen have been made
rich; criminals have gone unpunished;
autocrats have sneered at the will and
wish of the people. And now that
patriots and statesmen, who for years
have stood aghast at the turbulence
and buffoonry that has so often been
on exhibition, are awaking, the base
of operation is changed for the dispen-
sary from the State to the county.
Nobody has proved that the same
conditions which prevailed at the
State dispensary will not prevail at
the county dispensary. 1t is said
that "human nature is the same the
world over, and when put under the
same environments it will act alike
ninety-nine times in hundred"
This is not disputed, and can there
fore safely predict the result of county
dispensaries. They will be used as
fortune builders, and place getters,
by that class of men who do not fear
God or regard men.
Will an effort be made to have no
dispensary in Lexington? AS is gen.
orally known one such effort was
made more than year ago, and the
petitions, like the male children at
the time Moses was born, perished at
the hands of the Supervisor and his
counsellors. The more than 1900 men
whose wills were thus murdered by

prosperous and useful lives.

Local Option Prevails.

After a long discussion of the dis
pensary question-for 40 days, we
might say-the South Carolina Legis-
lature at its last hours killed the State
Sdispensary and adopted the Carey.
Cothran local option bill, the Senate
passing the bill by a vote of 90 to 8,
and the House by vote of 68 to %.
This bill gives each county their
choice between county dispensaries
or prohibition, and closes every dis
pensary and beer privilege in the
State, until certain requirements of
the law shall have been complied with.
in some counties the local dispen-
ssaries will reopen in few days. The
counties now having dispensaries will
continue as heretofore until the next
general election, and all petitions for
an election must be fled with the
county supervisor prior to May 1, of
said year. ALI liquor in the county
sdispensaries viii be taken charge of
by the commissioners appointed by
the governor to wind up the affairs Of

Sc 1t is the duty of the sheriff and his
deputies, magistrates, consta3es,

Gov. Ansel has appointed the five
commissioners to take charge of the
affairs of the State dispensary, who

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
We have had fine weather the past
week, and the farmers are stirring
early and late.
C. 81. Hartley, our efficient post
master, has been indisposed for few
days, but at this writing is much bet
ter.
What young R. F. D. boy started
to carry his best girl to church and
his horse not being used to carry the
male with a female before, struck for
higher wages and simply sat down
and awaited further developments?
The strike was called off by the fe--
male being transferred to other loco
motive power.
We are sorry to note the sad news
that our esteemed friend, W. A. Der
rick. has had a relapse and at this
writing grave hopes are entertained
for his recovery. Still, while there is
life, there is hope, and we trust that
he will recover.
By the time this reaches the read
ers of the Dispatch, the patrons on r.
F. D. No. here will have put the
proposed roads in ample order for the
service and the inspector sent back
to establish the route. Congressman
Lever has done all,in his power for
this service, and is still doing all he
can to have it established. It is now
up to the people to fix the roads, and
this will be done at once.
- One of the busiest men we know of
just now, is our newly elected county
commissioners D. III. Craft, who is
hustling and having the roads put in
frstclass condition.
Since our last letter the orange buds
have bloomed along the route, and
shed a fragrance upon the desert air
and several hearts have been made to
beat as one. On the 10th, Bue1 Boone
and Miss Ellen Goodwin were mar
ried by Rev. S. P. Shumpert. On the
morning Of the 18th, S. S. DeLoach,

Several Killed in Wreck.

New York, Feb. 16.-The White
Plains and Brewster express, a six-car
electric train on the Harlem division
of the New York Central and Hudson
River railroad, jumped the track at a
curve near Woodlawn Road, in the
Bronx tonight, bringing either death
or injury to probably three score of
its $50 or more passengers.
At 9:45 o'clock the police reported
that they had removed II bodies from
the wreckage and that there might be
other victims in the ruins of the train.
OF those removed to hospitals it. was
said that dozen and perhaps double
that number would die of their in
juries.

Al SIC, ,ooo, 900 Mortgage.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 15.-A mortgage
for $1S, ,0O0, 600 was fled here today by
the Seaboard Air Line railway. It is
to run for 80 years and is made in
favor OF the Morton Trust company
and James 1. Burke, trustees. The
mortgage is to secure 30-year, per
cent. gold bonds, and the proceeds
are to be used for betterments of the
road and its equipment.

NEW YORK BALL TOSSERS
ARE DUE HERE TONIGHT

Tomorrow will be an auspicious day
for the followers of baseball in Cali
fornia. II will not commemorate the
opening of the season nor the advent
OF new club on the circuit, but II VIII
mark the first appearance in nearly
twenty years of the New York club In
the Golden State.
II the trains run on time and wash
outs and other unpleasant things are
avoided the world-famous team OF
Giants from the greatest of all base
ball centers will be our guests shortly
after sunset this evening. After test
ing one of San Francisco's bill OF fares
and taking q hurried look at the broad
Pacific from the Cliff House, the Giants
will be ready to sleep off the effects
Of their roll up from the south and go
up against the best we have to offer In
the form OF a baseball nine.
None save the old-timers perhaps are
in a position to remember when the
New York tossers dropped in upon us
the last time. IL was away back in
1889, the year the Giants annexed the
championship. Fans OF the day swore
that the aggregation was the greatest
that ever performed on diamond.
The last New York team that dropped
in on this city had such men as Mike
Kelly. Buck Ewing, Tim Keefe, Dan
Bruthers. Ed Williamson, Mike Tier
man, JOnn montgomery W NdAhf JOAAAA
Clarkson, George Gore and other no.
tables on fits list. Nearly every man
was a six footer or better, and hence
the name. The team electrified the
local fans in several spirited games
with the old San Francisco team at the
historic Haight-street grounds.
Managers Long and Gleason say that
the San Francisco lads will give the
famed New Workers a real argument
when the umpire gives the play BALI
sign tomorrow afternoon. If the re-
ports from Bakersfield are true, the
Seals are ft TO wade in and take a
chance against a team from any league.
For several days Captain Mohler and
Danny Long have been studying out
the dope on the lineup for the Seals
when they essay to lower the colors
Of the Giants. After a careful survey
OF the situation il was agreed that the
local stars should line up as follows:
Spencer. center field; Mohler. second
base; Moriarity, shortstop; Hildebrand,
left field; Williams, first base; Irwin,
third base; Schofield, right field; Street,
Esola or Moore. catcher; Jones,
Wheeler. Joy, Hogue or Quick, pitcher.
AS Bull Perrine is the only umpire in
town at the present time il is likely
that he will WELD the indicator to-
morrow afternoon. The game will be
called at o'clock and on Sunday
at 2:3o.
The local team will probably accom-
pany the New Workers on their trip
to this city. Manager Gleason was
anxious 10 have both teams here by
last night, but Secretary Knowles OF
the Giants stated that his stars could
not possibly leave the south for an
other day.
The double shift OF workers is still
busy at the park and unless a gen
eral strike is declared their labors will
be completed by noon today and every
thing viii be in readiness for the pre-
liminary skirmish of the season.
