The recent decision and conviction of a whiskey drummer in the United States Court in Charleston as seen in another column, charging the individual with soliciting orders and sending off for whiskey for other parties, it seems will apply as well to others engaged in this same business in other counties in this State. If it is unlawful and it seems right then in every instant the whiskey should be seized and confiscated according to law, and the parties soliciting or obtaining orders for liquor should be indicted in the United States Court, and punished accordingly. It should apply to those engaged in the blind tiger business also. The thirty-second annual meeting of the South Carolina State Press Association will be held at the Isle of Palms, near Charleston, June 27-29. , The association is composed of a hard working class of gentlemen whose work is scarcely ever appreciated, i They will^have nothing to mar their ( pleasure and comfort during their .stay, and may they return to their ardious duties of the office refreshed j and full of vigor. ; The editor of this newspaper has . been a friend to the dispensary sys- j airifto ifca inaf.ifmfvjmi and we stood for it at times and under conditions when it took nerve.

The commencement exercises of Leesville college came to a close on r Tuesday evening the 5th, with a lecture delivered by Dr. A. B. Cook, of Wofford college, on the vissions of \ life. He showed the value of visions j their necessary precedence of the ^ practical and their power to material ^ progress. On the whole this has been one of ^ Leesville's most delightful commence- ^ ments. The exercises began on Sun- g dy, morning with a sermon by Rev. L. A. Cooper of Johnston. Mr. Cooper ^ has a reputation as a minister of much force and beauty of diction and his effort upon this occasion was generally ^ conceded to have been one of the strongest sermons ever delivered in ^ T .ooo-i-nio T-Tia fViPma waa an nrapnt, admonition for a high life actuated by a high ideal. He is gifted in the t art of fitting and forceful illustrations. The sendee of the morning were followed in the evening by a master- ^ ful sermon by Rev. A. J. Bowers D. P D. of Newberry College. Dr. Bowers had a large and appreciative audience among whom were a great number of his old students at Nev/berrv. ^ His sermon was on life and its mean ri ing and the way to bring it to mean g< the most. t< On Monday morning the meeting of p the graduates was held. Mr. J. Ancel S( Caughman class '05 being the orator of the occasion. The meeting was a ^ most enjoyable one. Misses Riser ^ and Bateman furnished the music for ^ the occasion which consisted of a r, vocal solo by Miss Riser and two s, piano solos by Miss Bateman. u The annual address was delivered h on Monday evening by Dr. S. R. Belk t of Augusta Georgia.
