Prohibition in South Cabomka.???We
have been requested to republiso the follow
ing exiract from an interview witb Senator
Butler, which we published some time ago,
, in which the senator givea expression to some
sentiments on the temperance and prohibi
tion questions that may be of interest at this
time:
???The social, moral and religious forces qf
communities should be organised agaiost the
evil of intemperance, of eating as well as
??? drinking.butyou may as wellattempt to legis
late against the one as the other Constitu
tional and statutory prohibitions are fallacies
and failures. They do not prohibit They
inculcate doctrines and habits of evasion, hy
pocrisy and pe'jury, the demoralize and un
dermine society more effectually than the use
of s.roug driuk. Prohibition by the force of
an enlightened public opinion is a much
surer safeguard than legislative prohibition,
and is always as strong and efficient as the
sentiment which creates it.?????????Edgefield
Cbronicle.
The above remarks of Senator Butler have
been widely circulated, and the opponents of
prohibition seem to have been greatly com
forted. Tbo only striking thing at all about
the matter is tbe alliteration in the words,
??????Does Prohibit?' and the only astonishing
thing to us is, that Senator Hitler should at
this time array himself not only against the
temperance movement which is going till
over tbe country, but that he should use his
powerful influence to flood the country with
free wbitky and tobacco, while our clothing,
our coffee and our rice are taxed beyond en
durance. ???Doea Prohibition Prohibit?" We
answer, most post tvely, that it does prohibit,
aDd we assert that there can be no deoylng
the fact, no matter what fallacious Azures
rouy be brought to prove the contrary. Dies
the law ag dnst murder encourage the killing
of our neighbor? Doea the law against theft
encourage dishonesty? Does tbe law against
forgery promote tbe crime? Dors the law
against audllng encourage tho commission

of
a crime so offensive as that of sbootiug -
neighbor? Dors the law against any ini mural
act promote the evil? Until donator Butler
can answer these questions in the affirmative
his reasoning against tbe prohibitory law will
go fornaught. If these laws encourage the
evils which they are intended to suppress,
then all our theories of government are at er
ror, and tho sooner we repeal all laws, the
better for our people We would then
certainly need "an enlightened public opin
ion," which would need be strong enough
restrain tho evil doer.
Why should the law against tho sale of
whisky have such an evil effect as to "incul
cate tbo doctrine and habits of evusiou, by
pocrisy and perjury, that demoralize and
undermine society more effectually than the
useof streng drink?" Words were never ut
tered which bear upon their face more strong
ly the impress ot errorand false reasoning
Does bis experience snd observation of the
working ot tbe local proMoitory law, satisfy
General Butler, that tbe people of the "dry???
towns have become a crowd of liars and h;
pocrites? Is all the truth and virmre to I
found assembled around the whisky shops at
thediflerent cross-roaos, while ins places
which have no whisky are crowded wl-h ail
manoer of liars and hypocrites? No; Sena
tor Batter's reasoning is as unjust and Insult-
ing to the temperance people as it is errone
ous. Why does not some of the oher laws,
which are on our statute books, demoralize
our people? It seems that General Butler
believes that a prohibitory law is the only
i which would produce liars shd hypocri-
A largu per cent of the progr-aslv*
towns in this state have local prohibitory
laws.' We should like to know the ratio of
tbe increase of Han and hypocrites in these
towns, which have done to foolish a thing as
to shut up the whisky shops which en
couraged morality snd promoted truth and
honest dealing, According to Senator But
ler???s ressoolug the towns which have been
"dry" from tbe beginning, would by this
time have produced a most prodigoue crop of
well defined liars and hypocrlties. It la in
deed strange (hit the temperance workers
have not discovered that "dry??? townaare full
of these offenders, while the "wet" towns are
composed of people who are the ideal of hon
or, of virture, truth and sincerity. Will
Senator Bntier give tbe exact facts and
figure" to show wherein tho ???dry" towns
have more liars snd hypocrites than the
towns which arc full of whisky? Will be
that the people of Barnwell county will de
velop a race of liars and hypocrites became
of their lack of barrooms, while Edgefield
county, under tbe benign influence of moral
barrooms will produce a people who shall be
the vera pink of perlection in the Christian
graces?
The town of Duo West, in Abbeville county,
hae never bad a barroom. Will Senator But
lersay that tbegovernment of that town "in
culcatee doctrines and habits of evasion, by
pocrisy end perjury?"???Abbeville Press and
Banner.
-Afore, was not unexi acted, be
cause the temperance men were organised and al
wotk. But in Cobb, the activity waaon the other
aide, and it wss generally concluded that tbe
county could refute to prohibit by a large maa

two horsemen, coming from the south, rode
up behind the bank of Riverton, where, dis
mounting, they tied their horses and pro

they entered. One of them was as murder*

tho James boys, and at one time belonged to
their banditti. He was the notorious robber,
Polk Wells. His companion was perhaps less
daring, but equally desperate. Wells offered
a $5 bill to the costlier, Mr. Sexton, asking to
have it changed, and when the cashier turned
bis head for tba f purpose, the second robber
Aimed two 41 caliber 8 inch revolvers at his

charge of Lieutenant Brit ton Davis, returned
from Sonoro, bringii g 125 cattle and 1,000
burses and ntules, wi-h Mexican branda.
They atole them last Saturday. Mr. Hoag-
land, general inspector of customs, attempted
to aeixe tbe stock aa smuggled property.
Lieutenant Davis refused to recognise the
demand, faying the stock waa notin his
charge. The demand was then made on
Davis aa a citizen of the Uuited States to assist
the officers in making the seizure.
???Make the attempt,??? he said, "and you???ll
see what I'll do."
Geronimo declared he would die before he
would give up the stock,and that he would put
2,000 Apaches on the war path in 48 hours.
He despatched runners to tbe reservation
about midnight, and tbe Indians broke
camp, taking the stock. Lieutenant Dsvis
says tbe situation is serioas, and that if the
demand is iusistedon it will result in the
biggest Apache rising ever known.

Washington, March 12???Tae bouse naval com*
mlttee has agreed to report favorably a bill re

permission being granted he himself left the eft y
revolvers to bear upon him.
horses, they mounted and rode out
firing back with reckless indifference to in
timidate any one inclined to pursue them.
They were traced to Dubuque, Iowa, where
he opened a hotel, and where Sheriff Daniel
Farrml followed them. When he reached
Dubuque Norris was away, but Wells was in
his hotel quietly attending to his business.
When the officers were within a block of the
hotel they were in plain view of any person
looking from its office window and with the
turn matters hud taken it was impossible to
avoid this exposure. The robber sat looking
out of his office window and saw them ap
proaching. He knew at once that it was an
unusual crowd for that time in the morning,
and he became suspicious. To be suspicious
was to be forearmed. He immediately went
to the back part of the hotel, from which he
might have escaped, but that it was his boast
that he never ran away from any man. Here
he arranged and looked to the condition of
his two revolvers, and waited the approach of
the officers. Farrell, knowing nothing of this
action on the part of the bandit, followed by
tbe crowd, went into the hotel and ap
proached the clerk of the office and iuquired
lor Mr. Warner, the name by which Wells
was known
Scarcely were the w*>r ???s out of bia mouth
before the door within about three feet of
hint, leading to the dining room, was thrown
open and Wells oppeared with n 44 caliber
revolver in hand Farrell asked him if he
was Mr. Warner. ???Yes,??? said Wells, os he
instantly leveled the murderous weapon in
the face of the intrepid officer. They were
standing close together at tnis time, and Fur
rell had tuk*n the precaution to draw bis re
volver ami hold it cocked in bis overcoat
pocket. The desperado confidently expected
that the officer would say he did not wish to
see him and as sp eeily us possible beat a re
treat. There are b it few men who would not
have done so. Farrell, notwithstanding ho
was at tho dhadvuu:age of having bis revol
ver in his coat pocket while that of tho man
who would take his life on the instant he
showed fight was cocked in his face, still
thought ho had un even chance, and he acted
promptly. Striking tho pistol from his face,
lie drew his own, und then one of the most
terrific struggles ever known to kill his man
and save himself began. That Farrell was
very quick was shown by tbo fact that both
the dangerous wound from which he was auf-
fering it was just thirty days from his enter
ing prison, and while confined at the hospital
that he murdered the guards of the hospital,
aud with two others escaped from the prison.
He was recaptured. In a few days, his injuries
preventing him from traveling. He was tried
and convicted of murder, and eenteuced to
imprisonment for Jife.

AROUND THE WORLD.
Items of Interest From Every
Clime.
Our reporter in an interview with Mr. R.
H. Wright, n member of the enterprising
firm of \Y. Duke, Sons A Co., who has re
cently returned from a tour around the
world, elicited the following facts which we
E resent to our readers, as matters of interest
Ir. Wright says, that eighteen months ago
he started on a business trip in tho interest
of W Duke, Sons & Co. Leaving New York
be sailed for Liverpool, and alter spending
about three weeks in the domains of her
British majesty,he passed over the channel to
Belgium, visiting Antwerp and Brussels,
thence to the ...following places: Rotterdam
tbe Hague, Amsterdam, Bremen, Hamburg
Copenhagen, Gotteubrg, Christiana, StocL
holm, St Petersburg, Berlin, Leipsic,Dresden
Prague, Vieuna, Munich, Frankfort,Cologne,
and Paris, then oack to London.
From London he sailed' for tho Cape of
Good Hope, Africa, calling en route at tbe
Madeira Islands, a piacaof resort for English
consumptives, aud also celebrated in years
past for its excellent wines which acquired
their finest flavor in nur southern stares.
The Christmas of 1882 was spent in southern
Africa where much to his discomfort, he
found the weather exinmely lmt, but was
regaled by the delicious fruits and vegeta
bles of the tropical climate.
American toDaccos were used there, hut ex
ported chiefly from Eogland. Aa tocivilita
tion, the natives of the English colonies are
beginning to learn the language and are mak
ing some advancement. But even in the
most civilised portions, tbe English, Dutch
und native Kafir languages are each so exten
si rely used that un interpreter is found to be
an absolute necessity. Tha dress in the Eui
fish colonies is similar to that worn in the ol
country; but after leaving tbe sea shore, anti
the largo cities, it was curious to find that the
inhabitants were quite independent of tail
ors, and follow the good old Adamite fashion.
Tne men buy their wives at from live to ten
bead of cattle, tho price being in proportion
to comeliness and age, and tbe number allow
ed to each individual is only limited by the
extent of his rauche.
American goods, such as hardware, wagons,
carriages, agricultural implements, cotton
ells???s shut, just missing Farrell, took effect
in the door casing behind him. Farrell's shot
took eflect in Wells's lett breast, passing un-
der the breast bane and lodging ia. tbe right
aide. This wound did not in tbe least disable
him at that time, but he stepped back a step
into tho dining room, with Farrell following
doss to him. Both fired again, eaob tryii.g
to avert the shot of the other. Farrell's shot
took effeot, and made a alight scalp wound,
but did not penetrate the skull. VVells???s shot
was turned aside by a blow from Farrell B
this time the two men had closed, and Wei.,
kept backing around the room, each in the
meantimo struggling to get in a shot and at
tbe same time nold the weapon of the other.
As they straggled through the room, they
knocked over a stove, in which a hot tiro was
burning. They broke tables, chairs and dishes.
Finally, as they were passing by the stove,
and before it was knocked over. Wells threw
bia pistol arm around the pipe and tired, hit
ting Farrell in tbo back of the bead. The ball
passed across tho skull under the scalp. This
shot for a moment paralyzed Farrell and car
ried him to bis knees, and he lost his revol
ver. Just os Wells was drawing down on him
again he bud recovered and sprang and
clinched Wells as his only hope far life. The
shot of Wells went into the ceiling and Far
rell throw bint heavily to the floor, and as
they lay there Farrell seized Wells's revolver
and struggled for its poeteitioo. knowing that
it was death to tbe man who relsaaed bis
hold. In the conflict on the floor tbey moved
along until they came within reach of Far
roll's pistol, which he immediately seized,
but before he could fire Wella also tailed hold
of it with hla left hand, aud tbere tbs;
fought, Wella bolding Farrell???s pistol witl
bis left and bia own with his right band. Ia
this position they fought for tha mastery un
til from sheer exhaustion they, attli holding
with a death-like grip, rested to catch breath
and lake any advantage which m gbi offer.
Occasionally they would surge and writhe
and then remain qnlet again.
Not a word was spoken during all this.tlm-
by either man. It was too aerious a matter
fur conversation. They were very evenly
matched in strength, and it waa apparent that
an advantage moat be secured by strategy,
Wells prepared to do this. Ha made a terri
ble effort, throwing himself tbe jull distance
between their outatretobad arms and landed
hla feet on the breast of Farrell. This threw
Farrell a little back and broke hla hold on
Wells??? pistol, but Weils still retained hold of
Farrell's. In this struggle Wells Urea twice
and struck Farrell a gruzing shot over the
right eye and another shot through tbe point
ol the right shoulder. Farrell waa kept so
busy trying to knock oil these shots that he
had no chance to tue bia own weapon. At this
time Wells had finally loosened the hold of
Farrell from hie revolver, retained bia hold
on Farrell's and had thrown tttrrell partly
ofl from him, both atill being on tbefioorand
bleeding profusely. Farrell saved himself
only by bia great presence of mind. Twist
ing himself into position, and g raging tbe ef
fort accurately, he kicked Wells on the arm
and knocked the revolver out of bis hand
and beyong bis reach. Wella instantly re
leased his bold ou Farrell's revolver, which
he had retained in bts left band, and drew a
second pistol from his scabbard, bat by this
time Farrell was able to gat in a shot, which
be did meet effectively. Just as Wells was
about to fire Forrel shot him in the wrist
Weils' shot went Into tbe ceiling and hia re
volver fell to the floor.
With the dangerous wonnd through tbe
breast, which was now rapidly weakening
him, tbe wound on the bead and tbe shot
through tbe waist, all of which were bleed
ing freely, and above all the certainty tnat
Farrell could kill him with the next shot,
the desperado threw up his hands. "You've
got me. Tbat???a enough!" he exclaimed.
Farrell rataed himself from tbe floor and
then helped Wells up. Wells reached out
and shook btuda witb him, and immediately
???aid: "By G???d, you???re a good one. I'm
sorry if I have hurt you,??? Farrell then pick-
f il nn hath nf WdIU??? m
up both of Wella' revolvers, and taking
a by tbe arm they staggered along to
Sheriff Chandler, who was with Norris.
The two presented a frightful spectacle aa
they went along the crowded streets with
clothing torn and smeared with blood, which
waa still flowing freely from all their woonds.
After going down town a couple of docton
were sent for, and tbe wounds of both men
were dressed. Business in town had entire-
id, and excitement reigned until
the officers and prisoners left in Ihe eveniog.
Wells proved to be ao badly disabled that be
bad to ba taken all the way back on a cot.
To know the desperate character of Well*
it need only be stated that notwithstanding

out the colonies. From Africa, Mr. Wright
sailed for Bombay, touching at Mauritius, un
Island, situated least of Madagascar,the prin
ciple city of which is Port Louis, of eighty
thousand inhabitants. It will be remembor-
ed also that tbe island of Mauritius was the
home of the Dodo, an extinct bird of which
naturalists have written so much. From
Bombay, he crossed ihe empire of Indio, bj
rsii to Calcutta, stopping at Jaypore, Delhi

celebrated "Taj" or tomb of Nourmahal
said to be the moat beautifal piece of arch-

ebrated for its manufacture ol
silken stuffs and for its sacred apes. From
Calcutta he proceeded to Ceylon, where for
many ages have been found tbe finest pearls
known to commerce, thence to Singapore,
Java, tho land of coffee, snd on to Australia,
via Torres strait, which separates New Guinea
from the main land. Thu principal cities of
New Zealand and Australia were vidtdd in
turn by Mr. Wright, and he alto found time
for a short trip Into the interior of the conn-
try. Tho native Australian, who Is very
similar in appearance to tbe nrgro, is to the
English Hitlers what the North American
luoian has been to us, with tha exception
that be ro-ials aud eats bis victim instead of
simply taking hia scalp and leaving the

homeward, and railed for San Francisco, only

city of the Sandwich islands, which carries
on an extonsivo trade with America, The
trip was a grand succesa, and Mr. Wright hail

and cigarettes of tbo firm which have already
acquired so enviable a reputation
in tbe United States. He states that tho

for use. On being asked if then was a reme
dy for this, Mr. W. replied that W. Duke,
8ons?? Co., had so prepared their cigarettes
specially for theso climates that they could
always insure their safe keeping and that
tbere was no complaint, but a constant repe
tition of orders from then foreign markets.
During the eighteen months' voyage, Mr.
Wright enw only about tlx American flogs on
tbe high teas which, iu bis opinion, tpeaka
rather poorly for us a maritime nation, and
in bis judgment, it Hems highly Important
that our postofflee department should subsi
dize liuea of steamers to ran bimonthly or
monthly to south Africa, Australian and
South American ports, thereby giving Ameri
can manufacturers more frequent mall com-
nmnicatlons, and grea'er shipping facilities.
It being a noted fact thit all American mail
matter as well as merchandise for south
Africa must now go via. London, thereby
incurring mach unnecessary delay and ex-
[tense.
In this connection he suggested that It
might be well to state that tbe establishment
of such subsidies would in no way augment
tbe burden of taxation, but tbey would soon
be oelf-iustafniDg and have most favorable
influence upon our mercantile and other in
tercata with foreign countries which, but for
the difficulties and delays incident to tbe
present circuitous mode of communication
would use American goods much more freely.
It rosy be well to advert to a few sentiments
volunteered by ourfriend upon certain ques
tions touching .'which the public mind of
America has uflale been agitated: Referring
to the abolition of the internal revenue tax

upon luxuries, snob aa tobacco and liquors,
he staRs that the English tsx upon leaf to-
bscco is about 80 cents per pouotf, and $1.10
upon the manufactured article, and on If
quors about $3 SO per gallon, which c.ealea
such a volume of revenue as to en
able the government to relieve the
les of its people from all taxation upon
the principle necessaries of life. It is a mis
apprehension on the part of our tobacco
growen to suppoae that the revenue tex ia a
burden upon theproduceror even upon the
manufacturer. The weight of taxation falls
at last upon the consumer, and if maintained
for the support of tbegovernment must tend
largely to relieve the neces-lty of taxation
upon such articles as are iadispensibie to the
comfort and welfare of the people. Mr.
Wright informs us that tbe smoking tobacco
trade of tbe firm has increased 60 per cent
above last year???s basilicas, and the cigarette
business 316 percent. Their pay roll in 1880
waa from four to fire buodred dollars per
month, whereas now it reaches tbe enormous
figure of $8,000.00 per month. They are now
running in connection with their establish
ment a printing office for labels, and a
,arge paper box factory, also several
,orge warehouses for recun.ig,
ordering and storing leaf tobacco, used in
their various brands, thereby enabling them
to get the very best article at bottom figures,
raving all speculators' profits ??nd thus plac-
' g upon tbe market a cigarette which retails
from fire to ten cents per package, supe
rior to any other which I, told at doable the
price. Their rapid Increase ia business
necessitate* their building at once an addi.
