Deeideai Against Veterans. By a recent decision of the su rreme court of South Carolina the :.ct of the legislature, exempting Confederate soldiers nd sailors Irom the payment of licenses, w.-is declared un-ow titutional, rn s the News and Courier,and the .,!acision isof interest to the whole rtate, and especially to the city uf Charleston, where similar cases 2.rt* pending and the corporation rf unsel was waiting for the t npreme court to decide the case tIrought before taking action in 1tle cases brought by this city. It will be remembered that a case waLs brought by the city of Lau i ens against a Confederate veteran named Anderson, in the mayor's court, who decided against A nderson, and the case was ap - ealed to the circuit court, and .)udge Prince affirmed the judg ment of the mayor. The case was then taken to the t npreme court and Judge Prince's decision was affirmed. The main ground for the decision is that the a-et discriminates in favor of aoldie. s and sailors, but ignores t he vet: ,ns of other wars as welI its the soldiers and sgilors of tlo t oufedoracy wiu et0.Ied from other tates. The decision of the 'supreme court is in part as follows: - "Inde'nent iamayor's court ol ihe cit., -f Laurens against John Vadc .'.-erson for violation of I he city -dinance. From c, cuit decree oi Judge Prince, affirming t he judgment of the mayor, the defendant appealed. "The opinion of the court was dielivered by Justice Gary. The 4 xceptions assign error on the part of his honor, the presiding judge, in declaring the following btatute unconstitutional jo wit "Be it enacted by the general assembly of South Carolina, that all soldiers of the Confederate States, who enlisted from this state and who were honorably dis. charged from such service shall hereafter be exempt from any license for the carrying on of any business or profession, withir this state, or any city, town oi village therein: Provided, that such soldiers and sailors shall file with the clerk or the court of the county in which he resides the proper evidence of his service ii the Confederate war: Providei further, that no partnership shal exist in any such business or pro. fession with any person not a Ion fide soldier or sailor of the saii Confederate States." "The defendant was tried ii the mayor's court upon the charge of running a beef market a n i grocery store without license He pleaded that he was exempi from the payment of a license taa under the provisions of said act The mayor ruled that the statute was unconstitutional and imposei a sentence upon the defendant from which he appealed to th< circuit court." After citations from the econ stitution of this state and maD: cases bearing on the subject thi decision concludes: "The statute hereinbefore sd out shows upon its face that il denies to those not included with in its provisions the equal pro .tection of the laws. It provides only for soldiers and sanzors v ac enlisted from this state and were honorably discharged, but ignores the veterans of other wars, as well as those soldiers and sailors of the Confederacy who enlisted from other states and were hono rably discharged. In fine there is not a single feature of the act upon which a classification can be based without violating the provisions of the state and federal e3astitutions. "It is the ju.dgment of this court that the judgment of the circuit be affrmed.' Wounds, Bruises and Burns.

The law is sufficient] notice, but I wish to prevent possible misunderstanding by neighbors. I am providing an area where the gun is not heard and where game may retreat and multiply. The practice of the 3 country has 'been too destructive. Squirrels had become almost extinctI Iin my neighborhood. Now I forbid even rabbit hunting. A sufficient reason for my rule would be that dogs; Iand ~ns are a danger to sheep, cattle Iand hogs. I can make no exceptions in favor of certain persons; others would presume to hunt and expect to be excused from prosecution. Hence this full warning. Trespass of stock is also forbidden. 1-4tf JOHN J. McMAHAN. J. D. McMEEKIN, Dentist. i WINNSBORO, S. C. nO,.-,. ovr MW.nDoty' store. RN ing Low Prices Unt Ilaywood Rocker.
