?>W'. ' ;<j} 11 iW f Mii ammmmrnmmmmm The Press and Banner 4BBEYILLE, S.C. jrthPublished every Wednesday at f2 a year in advance. Mb. ROSWELL T. LOGAN, of Charleston, 1b not authorized to take advertisements for this newspaper. Wednesday, May 2, 1894. The Abbeville Press and Banner, which has out-Tillmaced Tillman in ltt devotion to the dispensary system, says: "The lloense newspapers can hardly get up much enthusiasm Jbr prohibition, and it is hardly probable that | the prohibitionists are golns to take up the spy business which hasJust been dropped by Tillman's constables. There Is In faot no par- 1 tlcalar nse In getting: excited over the situation. As soon as the 8upreme Court is reorganized and recognizes the constitutionality of the law, we will have the dispensary again." There are two Interesting points about this paiagraph. The first Is the very tardy admission that the "constabulary," whose works were so endorsed by the Press 1 and Banner, were In the "spy business," a business too bad for good prohibitionists to , engage In. The second la the naive tribute to the Impartiality and backbone of the Press 1 and Banner's fellow-townsman, Justice-elect Eugene B. Gary.?The State. Whether our tribute to the impartiality ot | < Justice-elect Gary be naive or otherwise, we , htill believe that he will bold that the dlspen- ! sary law i? constitutional, and that with tbe concurrence of Justice Pope the dlspensary law will yet be declared of force. We have not from him or any one else a single word or intimation as to what Justice- 1 alAnt thlnlrn of the matter. We have MM than once sought an Interview with him oo the eabject, bat he declined to talk at all a* lo tto law. < Bat.beoanse we think the law is right, we , hold t&at Judge 0*17 will sustain It. We 1 make not the slightest claim to being a oon- 1 atltutlonal or other lawyer, yet our common 1 sense tells ui that the law la constitutional. We believe, however, that men may conscientiously hotd to the unconstitutionality of the law, bnt viewing the question from oar own standpoint, we are fully persuaded that there are better and stronger grounds for be. 1 lleylng that ii is constitutional. See Pope'B 1 dissenting opthion which Is conclusive to our ' filnd. The talk about the State becoming a mo- 1 nopoly and having no right to sell liquor at a I profit goes for naught since the State has been receiving money for granting to individuals a right to a monopoly In the liquor tralllo. Tbe talk of not allowing tbe State to realize ] , v a profit on Its liquor doesn't square wltb tbe ( plan of high license. Tbe State Is not a corporation with Interests adverse to the people?It Is tbe people. It Is a waste or breath for anybody to talk to us about "Inalienable rights" when | tbe law books are full of evidence tbat there | is no such thing as the citizen having an "In- ( alienable right" to sell liquor. Individuals ] have gotten tbat right only from the States which have time oat of mind reserved to themselves the power U> grant license to those citizens who would pay for It, while strictly forbidding all others to deal in it, and using their Courts to protect the licensed citizen in . exercising the right whioh bad been reserved from all others. If It Is right for tbe State tochaige license fees for retailing liquor and granting monopo- ( lies In tbe different localities. It Is Idle to talk i to us about tbe sin of tne State dispensing its ) own liquor at a profit. IT the one is lawfal tbe other is no less bo. i If the one Is right, tbe other Is not wrong. ' We puton no puritanical alrsabout being too good to take the profit arising from tbe sale i of dispensary liquor, .nqfdows make any high sounding lnoantatlonft ahtl>?bout despising , tbe benefit which the 8late received from the sale of Its liquor. Bui we believe tbe State ; oommiuea a mistaae id selling its liquor too i cheap. By cheap liquor the drink bablt is eDcooraged. On the other hand, the lens liquor j s a man gets for his quarter or half dollar, the < better It is for bim. Another matter. If the drinking; people of j this State desire to pay our taxes, we shall in. i terpoae no objection. The large per cent, of the tales of liquor In thla ooonty was to negroes or white men, who ' desired the intoxication. If such people < want to pay oar taxes, while having a little fan on their own acooant, will anybody talk ] to as about its being unconstitutional to albtv thorn In do an ? I The editor of the Press and Banner has been ' a prohibitionist and a teetollist all bis life, I until the dispensary law was pat in force. 1 Bat the experience of the last year has convinced us that the prohibition lata can never < enforce absolute prohibition. For evldenoe of ( this, see bow Columbia, Darlington, Florence, i Sumter and Charleston have done, when it I was only attempted to cnritall the business? i not to stop It entirely. < We believe the liquor elements of these towns received more or leas encour- | agement from the town authorities, the oppo- < nents of Tillman, and the dally newspapers. < v Under the circumstances the liquor men defled the law, and Tillman found it bard to enforoe Its provisions in some places. In Abbeville we obeyed the law. and the blindest hater of Tillman and the most ardent Haskellltecoald hardly fall to acknowledge that good resulted to us from tbe enactment of the law. Viewed from our own standpoint we can see no valid objection to tbe law, except that , wbloh is based upon hatred of Tillman, and < hatred of bis methods of enforcing It. 1 The law, we think, as iar aa searching private houses for liquor Is concerned should be either repealed or not enforced. Bat we do think If any citizen degrade^ the , sanctity of bis home to the level of a rum bole, ibat It lose* its "sanctity" and should be searched, whenever proof of Its degradation and dlsgraoe Is famished. i The WbUkey Muddle. R. ?. H. presents the recent confusing decision of tbe Supreme Court In a different light from any yet offered. < We confess that we know nothing at all aboot the law, and have seen nothing which throws any satisfactory light on tbe subject, i Tbe legal status of the whiskey business In this state seems to be confusion worse confounded. When the court hold that tbe Act forbidding license Is constitutional against the admitted intention of the Legislature, and when the court fails to And any law against tbe sale of liquor, we don't know what it means. Perhaps in tbe history of tbe civilized world there never was a decision of any court o unintelllgble as that of tbe Supreme Court on the dispensary law. Tbe best lawyer In tbe 8tate can't interpret It and we do not believe that it is susceptible of interpretation by.boman Intelligence. Tbe meaning of that decision must in our opinion remain a secret between the court and their Maker, until they send down another decision. Indiscreet. Congressman McLaurln has written a letter in wblob be orltlcisea Hon. Jobn Oary Evans in the most severe manner, seemingly because tbe Congressman is provoked at the probability of his being eleced Governor. Tbe letter Is full of venom, and In exceedingly bad taste for a dignified Congressman. If Evans should be elected Governor the Congressman would be placed In an awkwara position. Even if both MoLaurin and Evans should be relegated to private life there Is neither wisdom nor common oourtesy to commend the action of tbe Congressman. fe.. ' The liiqnor Victory. The people are beginning to realize the great victory which the liquor men gained In the decision against the dispensary. P Licenses are being granted in many of the towns, and we presume that {the temperance opponenents ot the dispensary have sue- ^ ceeded iii re-establishing their friends, the oar-rooms, in an pans 01 uie state. " ? Although the liquor men, and liquor, seem ^ to be victors Just now, It remains to be seen lb whether liquor or law?sobriety or drunkenness?will permanently rule the State. fp ? m ? ni re LicenNe Granted. C1 The town council of Abbeville have deter- {^j mined to regulate the sale of liquor. se They do this because they think It better to do so, than to allow everybody to deal In It. Some two or three applications for license, p; we believe, have been filed. ol One saloon has already been opened. Treasurer Blake declines to receive any n money for license, bat the town Issues license S to sell liquor under the same principle that J.? they issue licenses to sell fisb. sc . r .

B. Rollins, having complied si with all the rpoulremenls Drescribed bv the round) and having paid t&e license Tee of pt 5600, received his license to retail iplrltuouB of liquor. re Yesterday Mr. John N. Henckle swore out & warrant against him for violating the dls- ar pensary act of 1893, by the sale of liquor. Mr. a Henckle named as witnesses to the violation tl< of the latest dispensary law by Mr. Rollins, J. eel E. Bcbouboe, Editor Clayton, of the Reform tt Advocate, the local Tillman organ, and others. Mr. Rollins was arrested by the sheriff ca and kept In bis custody. si This mornlna; Mr. C. S. Nettles, the well re known Darlington attorney, lett Florence for of Lbe purpose of prooarlng a writ of habeas tl< corpus from the Supreme Court in Mr. Rol- su tin's behalJ, bis purpose being to teBt tbe last 1 dispensary act and to determine whether tb municlpa'itles could or could not license the la ale of liquor. It was hoped that by Monday, at least, Mr. Nettles might have the question til before Supreme Court and end tbe reign of es what Governor Tillman calls "free liquor." ro tbe surprise of our people, however, Trial ct Justice E.W. Loyd, who issued tbe warrant, M recleved a dispatch from Atttorney General m Buchanan, ordering him to release Mr. Rol- fe llns from custody. ot The prooeedlng of Attorney General Buch- w; man Is out of the usual run of law.

Tbe Press and Banner Is not excited on tbe be luestlon and shall wait lor results. We pre. mme, however, that tbis is one of the first gr iteps looking toward tbe restoration or perpe. cc Luatlon of the dispensary law. If we are cor- ' rect In thlH view, we wish tbe administration entire success in all lawful efforts. oe But we do not see how thlB proceeding Is to prevail. It seems hardly possible that tbe ^ case can be Kept out of court by any such a course. at d? FORTY IN ONE DAY. 2 , w UJ Tbe Striking Effect of Calomel on er Young' CbiekenN. Mrs. A. J. Penney of this village is one of Bi the frugal and thrifty housewives living within the Incorporation. One of her pet w Mjbemes is to ralBe chickens, and In taking care of the young birds she ban few equals M and no superiors. Odc day not long ago she ee thought that If the young chicks were fed a H little medicated dough it would Invigorate pti them and promote their growth. According- In ly she procured the tight quantity of calomel, oo mKUK tnhan mlvoH nrlth fha nrAnni* nnonMfu of< WUIUiif w noii ujiaou nivu iuu pivvvi ijuomnj dih of dougb. was led lo them. The sight of 8. those young chicks before and after taking 8t made a scene long to be remembered. Before in taking, they were full of life and vigor, and pursued a fly or a bug with remarkable energy. In one brief hour, alter taking their medicine, those gay and festive fledglings, . to the number of forty, turned up tbelr little v. toes and lay dead In tbe yard. The mother hens survived, but they mourn as if an army of hawks bad dined at tbelr house that day. >. The fate of these young chloka should be a warning to people who suppose they can take _ calomel or give It to their ohlldren with ira- C punlty. Calomel Is alike fatal to children ^ and chicks, and fond mothers who would rear K large families or either children or chickens Bbould let oalomel alone. If you want verification or this sad story about the good little chicks that lay dead on the yard above the R. <* D. depot. Just call on Mrs. Penney, and she will tell you bow tbe owls and tbe minks were robbed of their prey. ABBEVILLE AND GREENWOOD Silken Cords Bind Them Together In Love and L'ulty.

Believing then that any sug- i jstlons, even on the part of a layman, tendig to elucidate the question at issue would Dt be altogether void of interest to your saders, I propose to give, as briefly and as early as possible, the conclusions to which I ave arrived, alter considering the question i all the different phases in which it promts Itself to my mind. In order to get a clear and correct under- a -andlnz of the effects on the liquor question r the decision of the Court, we must keep rominently before our minds the intention i f the Legislature in enacting the dispensary iw. Now. what was that intention ? UnueBtionably It was to place the whole buslessof the liquor traffic In the hands of the late, and by no means to pass a prohibition ^ iw. Indeed the chief, yes I may say the sole J iason which gave rise to the dlspenssry v sbeme was the opposition on the part of the c ttjimuluie hi cam a (iiuiiiuuur; law. Now It Is substantially held by such emlent Jurists as Judge Cooly, in hi* work on onst.uutional Limitation*, and Endllcb, on ie Interpretation of .Statutes, both of whom sing accepted by the legal profession as rella- j le authority, that when an act l.s declared f constitutional In Its main features, and t lerefore null aud void, any and all parts of ild act which undertakes to repeal previous glalatlon on the subject, with a view to a lore complete carrying out of the main purise of the act and therefore subservient to ich main purpose, become subject to the ime fate and are likewise null and void. 1 bis Is in keeping with reason and common -I inse, and I think most lawyers will agree d lib me that it Is sound law. u Now, as 1 think every one will admit that ie prohibitory clauses In the dispensary act e subservient lo and purely for the purpose ' more fully carrying out the mala purpose ' the act?that prohibition, at all events, was 3t the intention of the Legislature, and &b ie main purpose has been declared unconditional and therefore null and void. It fol* wb that all prohibitory olauses and everyilng else which 1b subservient to the main irposeof the act are Involved In the Fame le. Nor to ray mind is there anything In ie decision of the Supreme Court Inconslstit with this view of the question. The Court In declaring "that the act Is clearunconslltntlonal, except In so far as It fords the grunting o( licenses to retail spirit )uh liquors beyond the 30lb of June, 1893," d not in my opinion meau to be understood i deciding thai tbal portion of the act probiting the granting o' licenses beyond the th of June, 1893, was still of force, but aimy that that part of the act waB not in conct with the constitution?this and nothing ! ore. If then the dispensary art, by reason of the I sclslon of the Supreme Court, la null and I >ld (n all Its parts, and of which, as matters >w stand, I am fully satisfied, all the laws I taring on the liquor question which were of rceal the time of the passage of said act are vlved by that decision and are now of full rce and effeot. Bo then If there be any who flatter themIves that therein now no law againRl selling tlrlluous liquors and propose to embark In ie business, I would suggest to all such that tey bad better read chapter 53 of the Revised flutes before proceeding too far. This chapter confines the sale of spirituous * Intoxicating liquor* to Incorporated cities, iwns and villages; forbids their sale anyhere without a license; forbids the granting 4 ' licenses in any city, town or village deared "dry" by statute, and provides heavy tnaltles for the violation of any of the prosIouk of said chapter.
