The Dispensary I.nw.
j&v - * **
Tbe opponents of tbe dispensary law bave
given notice tbat tbey will appeal to th? Su*
preme Court ot tbe United States. This Ik
well. Let the law be settled dually aud for
ever.
Bat there Is scarcely the shadow of a chance
>. to have It declared unconstitutional.
The fact Is, the liquor element must fall Into
line and obey the law. They can't override
It, or defy it, by force. To carry on an elllclt
or surreptltlona business la degrading, even it
It were possible to elude the watchful eye of
the whiskey oonstables.
i ? i -
Will Enforce tbe Lnw.
We see by tbe newspapers that tbe Governor
will hereafter prosecute vigorously all violators
of tbe dispensary law. .
The Press and Banner is glad to see this
and we are glad to know that the liquor dealers,
like other people, will be made to obey
the law.
' _ _
No man has pointed out any need of a constitutional
oonventlon. Does anybody want
it, except tbe town politician who may be
obeying public or secret orders sent to him
from headquarters. Tbe constitutional con
ventlon means do good, but possibly much
barm, to the people.
.
One reason wbiob should make our people
vote against the constitutional convention Is
the public debt. Under the present constitution
the debtor the State cannot be increased
' except by a direct vote of the people The
new constitution authorize the issue of other
bonds.
Except a few, nobody wants the Convention,
but the town politician. As a rule, the
town politician ler alt right, but your manhood
and self-respeot would prompt you to
recent the proposition to vote away your
birthright.
If the politicians were not afraid the people
would not endorse their work, or If they did
not Intend to do something contrary to their
wishes, they would submit the constitution
- to a vote of the people.
- .
With five cents cotton, the people are hardly
prepared to go into a convention which
will ooet *100,000.

VICTORY IN THE COURT.
Walter L. Ullller, Esq., Persuade* the
Jnry to Nave the Neck of a Wife
Slayer.
Walter L. Miller, Esq., yesterday evening
created a sensation In Court by his able and
successful defense ol John Cosby, charged
with murder, jn the killing of his wife.
The negro Is a man without money, and
had no counsel. His Honor Judge Watts appointed
Mr. Miller to defend him.
It appeared from the testimony that the defendant
killed his wife on the 12th of Ia6i
June In a Held about one mile from Mount
Carmel. He hit her on the bead four times
with a hoe, and the cat her throat lrom ear
to ear. Any one of the blows was enough to
produce Instant death.
The defendant claimed that be Btruck his
wile in self-defense; that she bad made
threats against him, and that he killed her to
keep her from killing him.
' After speeches by the Solicitor and Mr. Miller
the Jury rendered a verdict of manslaughter.
The Court gave him eight years in the
penitentiary.
Mr. Miller has been most cordially congratulated
on his successful defense. The majority
of the spectators, we believe, think the
prisoner ought to have been convicted ol
murder.
Died, September 27th, 1894, of tyhold fever,

months ana d days.
