THE HEADLIGHT. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. SUBSCRIPTION sfl.00 PER YEAR. A. KOSCOWEK, Editor and Proprietor. Goi.nsuoRo, X. C, April 5, 1804. THE SOl'TIi CAROLINA TROUBLES. On Friday afternoon, the South Carolina State constables, so-called spies w hose duty it is to enforce the dispensary law, jrivin the State a monopoly of the business of sell ing liquor, came in conflict at Dar lington with citizens who objected to the search of private houses for liquors kept in violation of the law, which resulted in the killing of two of the constables and two of the citizens, and the wounding of sev eral others. The shootinr caused reat excite ment, and parties of citizens started in pursuit of the constables, who tied to the woods. Three of the constables made their way to Sum ter and went thence by rail to Co lumbia, and since then most of the lleeinir constables have been ac counted for. Governor Tillman, South Caro lina's tyrant, on Saturday, tele graphed orders to every military company in the State to proceed to Columbia at once, and while seve ral reported, others disbanded, and still others refused to obey the or ders of the Governor. He at once issued a proclamation putting Dar liirton and Florence, a neighboring town, under martial law, the people of Florence having broken into the dispensary and emptied the liquor into the gutters. A dozen other dispensaries were similarly treated. The Governor also ordered the railroads not to transport bodies of men not the regular State troops moving under orders. These orders were obeyed according to a certain statute laid down in the South Car olina code. lie besides obtained an order from a State judge enjoin ing the managers of the telegraph oflice at Columbia and Darlington from sending an)' dispatches "of an inflammatory character" to the outside world. As the Philadelphia Record re marks, it is to be feared that the situation in South Carolina, deplor able as it is, may be but the pre lude to a still more critical condi tion of affairs in that State, as on the one hand there is a bumptious and impracticable Executive, intent only upon the enforcement of a chimerical and unrepublican liquor law, and on the other an infuriated people, who, maddened by the methods of surveillance employed by the State constabulary, have committed overt acts of lawlessness involving blood-hed and the de struction of the property of the State. It is surprising that there should be such bloody resistance to law in a Commonwealth in which the peo ple have the making of the laws wholly in their own hands. The truth appears to be that it was the inconsiderate and odious method of enforcing the liquor law which pre cipitated the crisis. But it is equal ly apparent that the primary res ponsibility rests with the law itself. Its enactment was a case of patern alism run mad; and the bitter fruits of such legislative folly are now be ing gathered in a harvest of blood shed and anarch-. The latest report is to the effect that Governor Tillman has issued a proclamation giving notice that un der the law providing therefor, he has assumed sole control of the whole force of municipal police in every town and city in that State. Troops are now stationed at Flor ence and Darlington and from pres ent outlook, will remain there per haps until the end of the week. Mayor Dargan, of Darlington, places the entire blame for the tragedy and subsequent trembles on the Governor, who is of the Popu list ic stripe. A tyrant like Ben Tillman with his anarchist followers, will never do iu this enlightened age. This ought to be a lesson to us. AMONK OUR EXCHANGES. The Newborn Journal is twelve years old. It is a very creditable daily and deserves even better sup port than it is getting. We wish it a continued prosperous career. The Durham Recorder changed hands Monday. It was sold by Editor Hackney to Garland E. Webb, late mayor of Winston and proprietor of the recently defunct Winston World. The latest candidate for public favor is the Kaleigh Daily Press, an afternoon paper, with K. A. Womble, editor, and W. C. Lind sey, local editor. It is newsy, in teresting and well gotten up. We wih it success. The Charlotte Observer, with its accustomed enterprise, issued a full sized, extra edition on Monday, giving the latest news from the "seat of war'' It was the only State daily published that morning. That's what we call push. National Capital Matters. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, D. C, March 31, 1894. President Cleveland, after hearing everything that could be said on every side of the question, and after deeper study than he has given to any single measure passed by this Congress, has finally disposed of the Bland bill for the coinage of the seigniorage. His disposition of the bill is necessarily unsatisfac tory to many prominent and influential mem bers of the party. That could not have been avoided. It would have been precisely the same, only it would have been a different set of Democrats who would have been dis appointed, had his action been re versed. The situation was not un like that which preceded Mr. Cleve land's celebrated tariff reform mes sage, and he acted just as he did then, taking the course he believed to be right and proper, believing that time will, as it did with the tariff, bring the dissatisfied Democrats around to his way of thinking. Some Democrats in Congress are allowing their disappointment to run away with their discretion, and are saying things that they will regret when they see their words used by Repub licans against the Democratic party. Probably no more representative gathering of prominent Democrats ever assembled in Washington than that which attended the housewarm ing of the Democratic Campaign committee, held in their new head quarters this week. The committee which received the guests was com osed of Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Congressional committee; Hon. W. F. Harrity, chairman of the National committee; Hon. Chaun cey F. Black, president of the Na tional Association of Democratic Clubs, and Mr. Lawrence Gardner, secretar3r of the Congressional com mittee. The committee is now ready for business, and a quorum of the executive committee will be at head quarters daily until the close of the Congressional campaign. Representative Savers, of Texas, believes with his great Democratic predecessor at the head of the House committee on Appropriations, the late Samuel J. Randall, that the sys tem of permanent or continuing ap propriations is wrong and should be done away with, leaving all appro priations to be made annually, and his bill providing for the change will probably be favorably reported to the House at an early day, and he believes it will pass. The late Sam uel J. Randall iutroducd a similar bill in the Forty-seventh Congress, and it passed the House, but not the Senate. The amount of these con tinuing appropriations, over which Congress can, under the present sys tem, exercise no detailed supervis ion, is $130,000,000 a year. Some of these continuing appropriations are nearly a century old and are sense less and in some eases wasteful. Chairman Savers' bill is thoroughly Democratic and ought to become a law. It will save money and reform a bad system. Senator Morgan believes that his Nicaragua Canal bill will become a law and that the canal will be well under way before the close of the Fifty-third Congress. The bill is now being considered by the Senate committee on Foreign Relations. It provides for the guaranteeing of the bonds of the canal company to the extent of $100,000,000 and gives this government practically the control of the canal, both while being built and after it is in operation. Governor Northern of Georgia, has appointed Speaker Charles F. Crisp to succeed the late Senator Alfred H. Colquitt. Not a word has passed between the Governor and the Speak er, and the latter's name had not even beeu presented formally to the Governor. In a message wired the Speaker late last night, the Gover nor asks him to resign his seat in Congress at once and qualify as Sen ator, so that he can take part in the tariff discussion which comes up next week. However, Mr. Crisp declined the appointment, preferring to re main Speaker of the House. The unexpected resignation of Sixth Auditor Brawley, of the Treas ury department, to take effect upon the appointment of his successor, has made a lot of gossip. The posi tion is an important one, and Mr. Brawley has held it less than a year. The Attorney General approves of Representative Woodards bill to change the boundaries of the Feder al districts of North Carolina, and the bill would have been introduced to-day, but the House adjourned too early. Senator Vance arrived here this afternoon from Florida, much im proved in health. Be was met at the depot by several of his friends, who warmly welcomed his return to his Senatorial duties. A number of prominent ladies in central Kentucky have petitioned Congress to expel Col. Breckinridge, reciting that his presence there is a dishonor to the women of the State. 100 Kewurd, 1100 The readers of this paper will Ie pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science lias been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the on ly positive cure now known to the med ical fraternity. Catarrh heiiijja consti tutional disease, requires a constitution al treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and niucuous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the founda tion of the disease, and giving the pa tient strength by building up the con stitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer one hundred dollars for any e:ise that it fails to cure. Send for circulars and tesinionials. Address F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. fiSTSokl by Druggists 75c. A Remarkable Cae. Durham Sun. A very remarkable murder case was tried in the Superior Court here Wednesday. It was remarkable for its shortness and the circumstances surrounding it. A lawyer of many years practice remarked to us in the court room, at the time, that he did not remember to have heard of a case like it before. A colored woman, twentj'-one 3'ears old, killed her infant, a babe scarce two weeks old. It was a most brutal act. While the child was cry ing she put pins down its throat and one lodging in its windpipe produced death. She was callous to the deed, and has apparently been so ever since. During the trial, which was under the indictment for murder in the first degree, she sat perfectly in different and heard the details told of the way she killed the child. The main witness against her was her mother, with whom she was living. With the exception of the two phy sicians who made the autopsy, the other two material witnesses were her first cousins. This makes the case u very strange one in the annals of Durham jurisprudence. No testi mony whatever was offered in her behalf. The case lasted about three hours and a half, and the jury, after being out an hour or more, returned a verdict of guilty murder in the first degree. The prisoner's demeanor, and the fac t that her own mother was the main witness, makes it one of the most remarkable cases that has ever come up in our court. -OOI.OSISOKO MAKKKT liKI'OIJT.
