TILLMAN WILL FIGHT.

South Carolina's Governor Will Suppress Illicit Whisky Selling. “If these people want to get up a bloody riot, I am willing; I’ll give them all they want of it, ” said Gov. Tillman,

of South Carolina, talking about the dispensary troubles in Charleston. I have as many constables as the police force o f Charleston, and if it is necessary they will be armed with Winchester rifles, and they will be backed up by the police foi ca of the city. I want these

people to understand once and for all that I propose to tee that the laws of the State are upheld, even if we have to kill a few cut-throats and bulldozers. I am making no threat, but I am simply warning them. I am ready to go ahead if they are. lam going to carry out the law and suppress the sale of liquor in Charleston if I have to call out all the military. All I want to say is that no' amount of bluffing and big talk and killing even will stop me' in my efforts to enforce the law. That law will have to te obeyed. I will stop illicit whisky selling in Charleston if it takes all the military and constables in the State to doit.”
