The Lexington Dispatch f G. M. HARM AN, Editor and Publisher. | LEXINGTON S. O ( WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1894. TODAY THREE WEEKS AGO. \ Today, three weeks ago, we stood beside the burning embers of our home, office and 9tore, and witnessed the accummulations of a life time of toil, struggle and hard work turn to < ashes at our feet and scattered by the ( four winds of heaven. At the time j of the conflagration we were eighteen r miles from home, and being suddenly j summond home by the startling information that "every thing we had was destroyed by fire'1, it was indeed ( a hard and tryiug time, and one ( which was calculated to make one! < I ? turn sick with the blackness of a ; hopeless dispair to see inside of two | ^ hours that which represented years ^ of self denials, sleepless nights and thoughtful days swept away by the devouring flames. j ] But at no time during this trying 1 ordeal was our faith shaken in the ., wisdom of him who tempers the j i wind to the shorn lamb, nor was s i _ our confidence in the goodness of j! him who takes note of a sparrow's ; 1 fall and clothes the lillies of the' field, waver one particle. Out of the ; sorrow and regret at seeing the I ] greater portion of our earthly posses-1 j sions in a blacken and ruined heap,j ] phoenix like arose bright hopes and ; j a determination to meet and face the j stern realities confronting us and from i the dead ashes of our burnt Dispatch < will nrion o iioytcv o Kflfior miil : ?? CXX IOW O UVy li V- - , (.% WV'*, I I brighter newspaper than the old one,: ^ and in keeping this purpose, ere the J flames which lit up the darkness of 1 night had spent their fury, our < printers were on their way to Co- t lumbia to bring out the Dispatch, i Circumstances were such at that time as to force us to reduce the ' size of the paper. But we did the best we couid and believe that our : c efforts have been appreciated. Today, however, all obstacles have been r overcome and we send the Dispatch i c to its thousands of readers in its old 1 p size and form. Our old patrons will s doubtless miss the old familiar head- j r ing, which, for twenty-four years, \ has been a welcomed visitor around their firesides. a While this is a proud epoch in our a life's history; yet we are not satis- p tied, and shall not be until the Dis- j s patch is made one of the best and p most reliable country papers pub-: h lished in South Carolina. To do this j S it will take money and plenty of it, and we appeal to those who are in g any way indebted to us to come for- n ward and settle at once. "We need I Si every cent due us now. Come, and a give us a helping hand in this, our time of trouble, by paying what you 2* owe Col. J. H. Averill, receiver of the! C Port Royal Railroad, sailed Thursday h for Liverpool. He has gone to Eng- a land on important business in con-! s< nection with the railroad which is in \ ft his custody. Port Royal has been p doing considerable exporting of late. f< ? Steamers out from Port Royal have been compelled to bring back car- h goes for other parts, finally going to b *n j -n i. ,i rort noyai ior an export cargo, auer j t] having unloaded elsewhere. Col. g< Averill's trip to Liverpool is to secure tl return cargoes for the Port Royal tl Shipping Company's steamers. j w i s< The columns of The Dispatch are ? open for discussion of any public *a] matter, with this proviso: That 11 nothing abusive is written. This paper declines to allow itself to be a channel for the dissemination of abuse or slander. Men and meas-j ures can be discussed argumenta ; tively, and abuse is not argument; j rather, it detracts from the force of I an argument.

Irill for half an hour for the benefit of the j i jeople present; then arms were stacked t ind preparations were made for dinner as j i ;oon as Col. Wntts arrived. The train be-j ^ ng a half hour late, he did not come until ; j o'clock. The tables were soon loaded by j ] he ladies to almost what they could bear; j < ind, after a very appropiiato prayer by Mr. I lames A. Summer, dinner was announced. ] i everybody had plenty of the rich dainties ! < o refresh the inner man. If any tailed to 11 in joy a hearty dinner it was their own | ] ault, for there was pi nty for all. Dinner being over. Col.

Success . o the Guards. Citizen. \ Layman's Opinion of the Decision, j r?.^ t? .1,^ . LU tUCT AJ tl 11 Wi tU*3 U . Well, the Supreme Court Las at last j * landed down its long looked tor decision I >u the Dispensary Act. aud it has declared j * he same to be unconstitutional except in ( eferenee to one certain clause. I ( After reading the majority opinion care-; , ully, and then comparing with the dissent- j ng opinion ot Associate Pope, I am con- i? trained to think that the main parts ot the j i aid Act are in violation ot our fuudanieu- ? al law. In accordance with this Act the State i 1 mbarkcd npon a commercial enterprise to j < he entire exclusion of its citizens. Trade, ! i re know, is not, nor can ho regarded as ^ ue of the functions ol Government. The ; cry essence of civil government is to pro- i ^ hct its citizens and not to create a monop-'t ly in any certain branch of trade. Some | c ay that the Act was passed solely as a po : ce measure and was intended only to con- j roi the sale of liquors. This argument, in j iy estimation, is very weak inasmuch as ; aere was a very prominent profit feature ? nnexed thereto Therefore I must say ! aat in this respect it is contrary to our ! indamental law. J In the second place I have always con- ? mded that a State could not prohibit its j ? iilroads from carrying to any point within i t ,s borders and delivering to consignees, j ^ nbroken packages. This the Dispensary i tj ct trieito do. J jj I m not so sure, as Justice Mclver is. j lat the right to traffic in spin to us liquors j i an inalienable right guaranteed under le constitution; if, so then our laws for |( 5ine time have been in conflict with our lalieuable rights, inasmuch as the light: > sell liquor was confined to persons with-' 1 an incorporated town. Associate Pope seems to think that the j ct was intended solely as a police regula-' on in regard to liquors; I cannot wholly j ?ree with him, for, if so, why was not the ^ quor so'd at bare cost? If the liquor had been sold at cost and ' ^ le Act had only regulated the sale and not l ied to interrupt the transportation, with- ^ t the borders of the State, then I would ive upheld the Act as not violating our ^ institution. * Speculation is now rife as to "where we ^ e at," in regard to liquor laws since the ecision of the courts. Some say we have i ee liquor; some say we have absolute pro- j a ibition, &o. I have read various opinions a the subject, none of which express my j ews exactly. Fur sometime I failed in ' rivinor at a f>r?r?r?ln<sir?r> and it M>ms that f o ? ~ ~ ~ ~ Q nr best lawyers and authorities materially fter on this point. Section 1731 of onr eneral Statutes says: "No license for the ^ ,le of spiritous or intoxicating liquors j. lall be granted in South Carolina outside j tj ' incorporated cities, towns and villages this State; and it shall ba unlawful lor ^ ly person or persons to sell such liquors ithout a license so to do." That means rohibition so far as the country people are j incerued. |' Now, the Dispensary Act did not, of J ' >urse, repeal that section, as it was not i inconsistent therewith." Now read the j , did part of the Dispensary Act as left by ie Supreme Court: "Section G. No li- j use for the sale of spirituous liquors now ithorized to be granted by municipal ithorities shall be ot any force of eft'ec ? ter the 30th day of June, 1893." That means total prohibition as far as I .u see. Therefore we now have absolute *ohibition. under those two sections ol K did law, with the penalty attached as i ider section 1734 General Statutes. t It was oulv iha "Dispensary" ienture o! ie Act that was sat down upon by tbe i' ourt and not the prohibitory or license i j ature, and because par s of an Act are de. j n ared void, that does not invalidate the re-; ainder. So I think those city councils who have I anted licenses lately for the sale ot i juors are "playing with tiro" that is if the j cecutive power picks ut> where the courts 1 ft off. * W. H. H.

By a subsequent meeting ol he Directors, said report was ordered pubshed, but the Agent and Mr. Ilurman were low about the matter which caused its ass in the fire which I very much regret, s it gives me the trouble of writing this ?tter which is required Our former Agen; left ns about the last f December. We were then carrying a little over $'30,000 insurance, now we ave about 450 members and $350,000 inuranre, which will make assessment veiy inch smaller in the future and prove more atisfactory, as large assessments have a endency to cause withdrawals.

I have used 11 my power to guard this point, by adice to the agent in reference to depreciated alues, etc., as well as selecting suitable ersons for directors. The law is that no uilding and property shall be policied ver three-fourths of real \alue. The valation of every policy must be passed upon y the director of the townsphip before it i valid. All losses must be reported to ae director inside of ten days. If any one wants insurance that is sure ley must not loose faith and become disouraged too soon.
