2 GONZALES AND WILLIAMS. (SOUTH CAROLINA 'EDITORS r.EI ANGRY WITH EACH OTHER. ControTfru)' Grew Ont of Offer of the Postoffloc nl Colombia to Ge. Hamilton, for Which Editor Will iams Assumed Respnnalblllt > The |.after ia n Backer of McLaurln and Editor Gonzales Ia Not—The Correspondence, Which la Some- , what Bitter, la Published In the State. Columbia. S. C., May 3".—There has re cently been a controversy between Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor of the State, and Mr. A. B. Williams, editor of the Richmond News. Mr. Gonzales, in commenting upon the offer of the omre of postmaster to Gen. Wade Hampton, characterized It as an attempt to buy Gen. Hampton. At this Mr. Williams took exception, for, ns he stated subsequently, he had suggest ed the proffer. Mr. Williams assailed the policy of the State in relation to Governor Ellerbe and the state printing. Mr. Gon ■ales. in reply, showed that the state printing contract was awarded in an open and legitimate manner, and that it was not accepted from Gov. Ellerbe. The charges of Mr. Williams were character ized as malicious and false. This was about the last the general public saw of the matter, but that was regarded as pretty plain talk even for editors. The Slate this morning takes up the atory where it was left off. It appears that there has passed between the two gentlemen private correspondence which Indicates that Mr. Wil iams intimated that he would send n challenge The State makes no comment, but publishes the cor respondence in toto. On May 13 Mr. Williams wrote: "I have the honor to request of you an immediate retraction of the words, 'malicious slan ders' and 'contemptible,' as applied to statements printed over my name and written by me; and apology for using such words in connection with statements from roe." etc. To this Mr. Gonzales replied that he was not accustomed to making statements of whose truth he was not convinced. He rejected Mr. Williams' demand to apolo gize. etc. He repeats thnt certain of Mr Williams' statements were untrue. As to the intimation of a challenge fol lowing his refusal to comply with Mr. Williams' demand**, Mr. Gonzales stated that be must uphold the laws of the state and those laws forbid t.ie conven tional settlement of half a century ago. However, he agreed to meet Mr. Williams out of the state, saying he would allow Mr. Williams to fire at him without his returning the fire of Mr. Williams. This he knew to be quixotic, apparently, yet it evidenced his willingness; to assume re sponsibility for his editorial utterances. The correspondence continued, there having been another letter from Mr. Wil liams and another reply from Mr. Gon zales. No settlement seems to have been reached yet. Mr. Gonzalee publishes the correspondence through no violation of et iquette. but because of a statement by Mr. Williams that he would put the mat ter before the public himself.

MAY 21.1901. HAD THEIR MAY PARADE. One of the Colored Soldiers Arrested for Striking a White Boy. The annual May parade of the colored i military was held yesterday afternoon. The line of march was through the prin c'pa! streets, and the celebration closed with drill, battalion parade and review in the parade ground. Capt. H. M. Walton was in command of the troops. Lieut. Sol C. Johnson was adjutant. The companies in line were the Savannah Light Infantry; the Lincoln Guards, Capt. W. J. Pinckney; the Col quitt Blues, Capt. J. H. Carter; the Chatham Light Infantry, Capt. Nelson law; and the Georgia Artillery, Capt. J. C. Simmons. Col. J. H. Deveaux wit nessed the parade and the evolutions on the parade ground. He expressed satisfac tion with all he saw. He was .physically incapacitated from' assuming command. One Incident of the parade resulted In the arrest of Private Thomas Wright of the Chatham Light Infantry. He was charged with disorderly conduct on the Parade Ground and with having struck young Malcolm R. Maclean with a gun. Master Maclean made the complaint against the soldier, identifying the man as the one who had struck him. Col. Deveaux spoke of the incident. He said that the first intimation Capt. Wal ton had of the trouble was when a ser geant of police approached him and said that he wanted to arrest one of the sol diers, who had struck a white boy. Capt. Walton told him that he would assume the responsibility for the man and would turn him over to the police after the pa rade. This he did. accompanying the man to the police station. An impression prevailed among the sol diers, Col. Deveaux said, that Master Maclean had been run into and knocked down by one of the men during the exe cution of one of the orders that demand ed the double time in its execution. Col. Deveaux said that there was no inten tion on the part of the military to shield the man, as was shown by Capt. Walton turning him over to the police. If Wright struck Master Maclean, Col. Deveaux said, the colored military would like to see Mm punished. If such should be proven. Col. Deveaux said that the man would be dealt with under the military, as well as the ctvll law, as such conduct while on parade is gross violation of regulations and military law. PATROLMAN I NED CLUB. Maimed Bootblack Had to Re Beaten Into Insensibility. John Moody, the maimed negro boot black. had to be beaten into lnsenslblltty by Patrolman McCarthy on Liberty and East Broad street* last night, and will answer two charge* in Police Court this morning. Even though Moody is minus both legs, and has only one arm, the strength ‘n his stumps 1s wonderful, and he has put several patrolmen at a time out of business, in Savannah as well as In neighboring cities. The bootblack is a demon when drunk, and he was in that condition last night when Charles Perkins, colored, of No. 622 Perry street, east, called on the officer to arrest him. Moody had assaulted the com plainant without any provocation, and started in to play the same game with McCarthy. In addition to this the negro used profanity that would have shocked the morals of an old tar. The officer en-. deavored to get his prisoner to the patrol box without trouble, but was forced to beat the man into unconsciousness. The prisoner will go before Recorder Myrick this morning with a sore head, and will probably receive the usual sentence—the limit. THE WITH* SPONSOK. 1 ■' ■ * Gen.

Gordon, commander-in-chief of the United Con federate Veterans has appointed Miss Bessie Draper of this city as sponsor for the entire South at the coming Confed erate Veterans’ reunion to be held in Memphis. The Schools Conte Next. Col. William G. Obear, inspector gen eral of the state militia, will Inspect the cadets of the Savannah Preparatory School in the Park Extension this afternoon at 5:15 o'clock. Judging from the appear ance of the boys on former occasions, there is little doubt that the school will pass n creditable examination. Military men in the city have generally a high opinion of the training and disepline of the company composed of the students of Mr. Strong's excellent school. A Miscalculation. A great many people feel that they can not afford to pay a reasonable fee to a competent specialist for treatment, and believe that they are saving money by relying upon patent medicines, at so much per bottle. This Is a common mistake. J have had patients who had spent their money for almost every advertised medicine, and were finally forced to come to me for a cure. They afterward* admitted that they would not only have saved money, but their health as well, if they had taken my treatment from the first. The best treatmsnt Is always cheapest In the long run. If you suffer with any kind of chronic disease, you should obtain the proper treatment promptly. The more you ex periment with ready-made medicines the longer you postpone a cure. J give each case close study, and treat all of its symptoms and conditions. My skill gain ed by twenty years' devotion to my spe cialty la at your disposal.
